The human immunodeficiency virus type 1(HIV-1)can interact with and exploit the host cellular machinery to replicate and propagate itself.Numerous studies have shown that the Mitogen-activated protein kinase(MAPK)signal pathway can positively regulate the replication of HIV-1,but exactly how each MAPK pathway affects HIV-1 infection and replication is not understood.In this study,we used the Extracellular signal-regulated kinase(ERK)pathway inhibitor,PD98059,the Jun N-terminal kinase(JNK)pathway inhibitor,SP600125,and the p38 pathway inhibitor,SB203580,to investigate the roles of these pathways in HIV-1replication.We found that application of PD98059 results in a strong VSV-G pseudotyped HIV-1NL4-3 luciferase reporter virus and HIV-1NL4-3 virus inhibition activity.In addition,SB203580 and SP600125 also elicited marked VSV-G pseudotyped HIV-1NL4-3 luciferase reporter virus inhibition activity but no HIV-1NL4-3 virus inhibition activity.We also found that SB203580 and SP600125 can enhance the HIV-1 inhibition activity of PD98059when cells were treated with all three MAPK pathway inhibitors in combination.Finally,we show that HIV-1virus inhibition activity of the MAPK pathway inhibitors was the result of the negative regulation of HIV-1 LTR promoter activity.

BACKGROUND: In vitro culture condition and culture efficiency are different in reported umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells, and lacked of unified standards. Different derived mesenchymal stem cells have different biological properties. Therefore, it is very necessary to establish a simple and high-performance culture system for umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE: To observe the growth state of human umbilical cord-derived mesenchymal stem cells in different culture systems in vitro and adenovirus infection efficiency. METHODS: Mesenchymal stem cells were separated from healthy full-termed delivery fetus using collagenase digestion method and purified by adherent culture. These cells were cultured and amplified in DMEM (low glucose), MesenPRO RS~(TM) Medium and STEMPRO~(R) MSC SFM in vitro. The 3-5 passage mesenchymal stem cells were infected by the Ad5-EGFP, Ad5/11-EGFP, Ad5/35-EGFP as multiplicity of infection (MOI)=1, 10, 100. Viral infection and green fluorescence expression were observed at post-infection 24, 56 and 72 hours using inverted fluorescence microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The cell morphology in STEMPR~(R) MSC SFM was different from other two culture system and these cells were not easy to adherent after trypsin digestion. Cell doubling time in the MesenPRO RS~(TM) Medium was shorter than other two groups. Mesenchymal stem cells were infected by Ad5/35-EGFP with higher efficiency than other two kinds of adenovirus, but part of cells appeared apoptosis. The infection efficiency of Ad5/11-EGFP was highest. The fluorescence intensity was gradually increased with increased MOI.

Objective To summarize the experience of establishing the stable rat model of chronic allograft nephropathy. Methods We used Fisher rats as donors and Lewis rats as recipients.After the left kidney of the donor perfused in situ under hypothermic condition, the left renal vein,abdominal aorta and bladder flap of the donor was anastomosed with the left renal vein, renal artery and bladder of the recipient, respectively. The recipients were given cyclosporin oral solution 10 mg/kg every day by gavage for 10 days after transplantation. The blood and urine samples were collected 1 month, 2 months and 4 months after transplantation and renal function and total urine protein were examined. The pathological changes of the renal allograft were observed 2 and 4 months after transplantation. Results Forty-five rats received operation and achievement ratio was 85%. The renal transplantations were finished in 120 ± 20 min. The Scr, BUN, Cycs and total urine protein demonstrated a significant increase one month after transplantation. On the second and fourth month,with the exception of urine protein continued to increase, the other indicators did not change significantly. Two months after transplantation renal pathology demonstrated light to moderate interstitial fibrosis, infiltration of lymphocytes and plasma cells. At 4th month the renal allografts showed extensive interstitial fibrosis, a large number of infiltrating interstitial cells, thickening,hardening, occlusion of glomerular basement membrane, and renal tubular atrophy that were consistent with pathological changes of chronic allograft nephropathy. Conclusion Through adequate surgical training and improvement, and specification for rat nephrectomy, transplantation surgery,and postoperative management in every detail, the model with high success rate and stability can be achieved.

Objective To report clinical manifestations, electroencephalogram (EEG), and the genotypes of two siblings with type Ⅲ Gaucher disease.Methods Two patients with different features were siblings. Their clinical data, signs, peripheral leukocytes acid β-glucosidase activity, andGBA gene were analyzed.Results (1) The proband was a boy. He visited us at the age of nine years old because of hepatosplenomegaly, thrombocytopenia and growth retardation without any neurologic symp-toms. He had normal intelligence but abnormal EEG ifndings. The activity of acid β-glucosidase in his leucocytes decreased to 1.5 nmol h-1·mg-1 Pr (normal range 6.0-16.7 nmol h-1·mg-1 Pr), supporting the diagnosis of type Ⅲ Gaucher disease. (2) The elder sister of the proband was 12 years old. She had tonic-clonic seizure and myoclonus seizure from the age of seven years old. Mild hepatomegaly, abnormal EEG, poor effect for antiepileptics, and progressive deterioration of psychomotor abilities were found. Her blood leucocytes acid β-glucosidase activity decreased to 1.8 nmol h-1·mg-1 Pr (normal range 6.0-16.7 nmol h-1·mg-1 Pr). Two heterozygous missense mutations, c.680A>G, (p.N188S) and c.1342G>C (p.D409H) were detected from the two siblings, respec-tively.Conclusions Patients with type Ⅲ Gaucher disease usually have the onset in childhood with typical features of Gaucher disease without neurologic involvement. Abnormal EEG may be helpful to the differential diagnosis of type I or type Ⅲ. On the other hand, neurologic manifestations could be presented as the ifrst symptom in some patients without viscera enlargement. The patients of type Ⅲ Gaucher disease with the same genotype could have different phenotypes, even between the siblings.

OBJECTIVETo summarize the clinical features, diagnostic and therapeutic experiences of colorectal Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL).
METHODSClinical data of 32 patients with colorectal NHL admitted to our hospital from January 1988 to December 2006 was retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTSThis study included 22 B-cell NHL and 10 T-cell NHL cases. In the B-cell NHL group, the male: female ratio was 14:8 and the median age was 60.5 years. In the T-cell NHL group, the male: female ratio was 5:5 and the median age was 31.0 years. The ileocecal region was most frequently involved in both groups, which accounted for 77.3% and 60.0% of the B and T group respectively. The common clinical manifestations included abdominal pain, weight loss, and abdominal mass. Of the 14 cases of B-cell NHL with definite subtype classifications, 64.3% were of the Diffuse Large B-cell Lymphoma (DLBCL) type. Among the 22 B-cell NHL, 40.9% were with localized diseases (stage I-II1), while all 10 patients in T-cell NHL group were in stage IV with 3 patients complicated with massive GI bleeding and 4 with perforation. All patients of B-cell type received chemotherapy utilizing mainly CHOP after surgical resection. After a median follow-up of 55 months, the disease-free survival was rate 88.2%. Among the T-cell NHL group, 8 out of 10 patients underwent surgery and chemotherapy was given to all those who could tolerate it. Five patients died within 2 months after surgery. It's known that 3 patients were still alive after 23 months.
CONCLUSIONSThe ileocecal region is the most frequently involved site of the colorectal NHL. The histology is usually B-cell type with a majority being DLBCL. Currently R-CHOP chemotherapy after the surgical resection is the principal treatment modality. Patients of B-cell type have a better prognosis while the prognosis of T-cell NHL is poor. Therefore more aggressive diagnostic and therapeutic approaches are recommended for T-cell NHL patients. The prospective of organ preservation treatment for colorectal NHL is still in need of further investigations.

OBJECTIVETo identify the genetic defect causing autosomal dominant congenital cataract (ADCC) in a five-generation family in the northeast of China.
METHODSLinkage analysis was carried out with polymorphic microsatellites on the Human MapPairs marker set, special known loci. Mutation analysis of the candidate gene in the critical region was performed to detect the potential mutation.
RESULTSThe maximum Lod score (2.44 at recombination fraction theta=0) was obtained for markers D1S498,D1S305, and D1S2844. The cataract locus in this family constellation was mapped to 1q21.1 and 21.44 cM interval between D1S2344 and D1S2844, which were known to flank the gene coding Connexin 50 (Cx50) or gap junction protein alpha-8 (GJA8). Sequencing of the coding region of GJA8 gene showed a heterozygous transversion T>G in exon 2, which resulted in the substitution of glycine for valine at amino acid 64, and this position was in the first connexin signature region that characterized this protein.
CONCLUSIONThis is the first report on a mutation in the first connexin signature region of the GJA8 and a different mutation within Cx50 revealed in this family, which might account for the phenotypic differences observed. Furthermore, this study confirmed that GJA8 plays a vital role in the maintenance of human lens transparency.

OBJECTIVETo clarify the role of waist circumference (WC) in estimating organ damage and assessing the prognosis in young and middle-aged patients with cardiovascular disease undergoing cardiac rehabilitation program (CRP).
METHODSWe recruited 147 young and middle-aged patients with cardiovascular disease to participate in the CRP for 4 or 5 weeks. The baseline clinical data and results of routine fasting blood test and ultrasonic cardiography were evaluated for these patients.
RESULTSWC had a linear correlation with the indices reflecting cardiac structure alteration (LVSd and LVPWd) of the patients after CRP but showed a negative correlation with their HDL-C levels. The fasting blood glucose (FBG) and serum uric acid (UA) levels showed a positive correlation with WC before CRP but not after CRP.
CONCLUSIONWC monitoring allows accurate assessment of organ damage in patients undergoing CRP after cardiovascular disease and has special value in evaluating the changes in cardiac structure and function.
