Increasing evidence suggests that a complex net-work of fever induction pathways in mammalian exists. In this article,the overview of recent studies on the mechanism of fever induced by different pyrogens using IL-1, IL-1R, ICE, IL-1ra, IL-1RacP, IL-6,IL-10,TNFR,cPLA 2,COX,EP,AT 2,iNOS and D 2/3 knockout mice is presented. Hyperthermia respond to localized infection/inflammation(e.g.,sc injection of turpentine) is mediated by IL-1? and IL-6 in turn.While fever induced by systemic infection/inflammation(e.g.,treatment with LPS intraperitoneally) varies with the different doses of pyrogens administered .Fever caused by a low dose of LPS administered ip is IL-6 dependent ,but the IL-6 independent pathway is crucial for the fever evoked by a high dose of LPS.Febrile responses during both local and systemic infection/inflammation develop totally through central PGE 2 dependent mechanism, but some stress induced hyperthermia otherwise.

Bitter taste receptors (BTRs) belong to the G protein-coupled receptors, which included 25 subtypes. BTRs, which were distributed in the oral cavity, mediated the bitter taste of mammalian. Furthermore, BTRs were also existed in the extra-oral digestive system such as the stomach and intestine to influence the digestion, absorption and energy regulation. It also can relax airway smooth muscles in the respiratory system and decrease blood pressure in the cardiovascular system. While being strikingly conformed to the latest advancements of BTRs, the efficacy of bitter taste property of Chinese materia medica (CMM) such as“excretion”,“dryness” and“strengthening” have been used in ancient theories of property and flavor in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) for thousands of years in the treatment of multisystem diseases such as digestive, endocrine, respiratory and cardiovascular system. Therefore, applying modern techniques and new methods in the interpretation of the scientific connotation of bitter taste property of CMM based on BTRs should be a feasible way and a new research pattern. It played an important role in the enriching of the property theory in CMM, as well as enhancing the modernization and objectivization of CMM.

Objective To explore the inhibitory effect of harmine on melanoma A375 cells and its mechanism thereof.Methods (1) Melanoma A375 cells were treated with harmine at 0,0.5,1,2,5,10,20,50 and 100 mg/L for 48 h in vitro.CCK-8 method was used to detect the cell viability and confirm the experimental concentrations.(2) After the cells were treated with 0,1,2 mg/L harmine,the scratch and transwell assays were used to detect the cell migration and invasion ability.Western blot assay was used to detect the expression levels of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT)-related protein E-cadherin,N-cadherin,Snail and p53.(3) Three groups of ceils were set up.The control group was transfected with empty vector ordy.The empty vector group was transfected with empty vector after treated with 2 mg/L harmine for 24 h.The Snail transfection group was transfected with Snail cDNA after treated with 2 mg/L harmine for 24 h.The cell migration and invasion ability were detected after the transfection.Results (1) When the concentration of harmine was above 2 mg/L,the survival rate of A375 cells was significantly lower than that of the control group with the increase of harmine concentrations (P < 0.05).Then,the concentrations of 0,1 and 2 mg/L of harmine were used in the following experiments.(2) With the increase of the harmine concentrations,the number of cells in the scratched area and the number of trans-membrane cells in each group were significantly decreased.The migration and invasion ability of the ceils were decreased gradually.The expression levels of E-cadherin and p53 were increased,while the expression levels of N-cadherin and Snail were decreased.(3) Cell transfection experiments showed that the migration and invasion ability of the cells were increased compared with those of empty vector group after transfection with Snail.Conclusion Harmine can inhibit the proliferation of A375 cells and decrease the abilities of metastasis and invasion,which may be achieved by decreasing the expression of Snail after activating the p53,thereby increasing E-cadherin and down-regulating N-cadherin to inhibit the EMT process.

In current years,there is a tendency for HIV/AIDS to shift to adolescent population,thus HIV/AIDS education aimed at college students is drawing increasing attention from all parts including the governments,colleges and universities,and the whole society.By analyzing the current spreading trend of HIV/AIDS,this thesis introduces the modern teaching methods in HIV/AIDS education and existing problems,and tentatively introduces movie appreciation as a novel teaching approach.The application advantages of movie appreciation and concrete examples from six universities in Shanxi Provinces have also be delivered,aiming to explore a new pattern for HIV/AIDS education among Chinese college students.

Nowadays, the research performance evaluation in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is basically exploring the principles and rules. What become the problems are that what index system can fully reflect the TCM performance evaluation, and what method can reflect the characteristics of TCM performance evaluation. Analyzing the status of the Korean research performance evaluation, we briefly disseminated how to establish the TCM performance evaluation.

Objective To observe the effect of dexmedetomidine on inflammation, oxidative stress and lung injury in lipopolysaccharide( LPS)-induced septic mice.Methods Forty eight male adult BALB/c mice were randomly divided into three groups (n=16): normal control group (Ctrl), sepsis group (Sep), and Dex group.Ae septic mice model was established by LPS 20 mg/kg,and Dex 30μg/kg injected intraperitoneally at 0.5 h after LPS injection.The concentrations of serum IL-6 and IL-10 were detected at 2 h and 6 h after LPS injection while myeloperoxidase ( MPO ) activity and malondialdehyde( MDA) content of lungs were detected and weight dry ratio ( W/D) of lungs was calculated at 6 h after LPS injection.Pathological changes were observed in left lung HE stained with optical microscopy at 6 h after LPS injection. Results Compared with Sep group, the concentrations of serum IL-6 decreased significantly(P <0.05), while the concentrations of IL-10 increased significantly(P<0.05) at 2 h and 6 h after LPS injection in Dex group.MPO activity, MDA content and W/D of lungs decreased significantly(P<0.05) at 6 h after LPS injection in Dex group.The injury to the lung was lightened significantly under optical microscopy in Dex group.Conclusion Dex protects against LPS-induced ALI in septic mice by inhibiting systemic inflammatory response, reducing lung tissue inflammatory infiltration and oxidative stress.

Objective To observe the effects of propofol and etomidate on inflammation and ox-idative stress in septic mice.Methods Sixty-four male adult BALB/c mice were randomly divided into four groups:normal control group (N),sepsis group (S),propofol treatment group (P)and etomid-ate treatment group (E).The septic mice model was established by lipopolysaccharide (LPS,20 mg/kg)intraperitoneal injection,and propofol (60 mg/kg)or etomidate (10 mg/kg)was injected in the abdominal cavity at 0.5 h after LPS injection.Serum interleukin-6 (IL-6)concentrations and in-terleukin-10 (IL-10)concentrations were measured at 2 h and 6 h after LPS injection;malondialde-hyde (MDA)content of lung,liver and kidney tissue was measured at 6 h after LPS injection. Results Compared with group N,serum IL-6 concentrations increased significantly (P <0.05),and IL-10 concentrations decreased significantly (P <0.05)at 2 h and 6 h after LPS injection in group S;MDA content of lung,liver,kidney increased significantly (P <0.05 )at 6 h after LPS injection in group S;Compared with group S,serum IL-6 concentrations decreased significantly (P <0.05),and IL-10 concentrations increased significantly (P < 0.05 )at 2 h and 6 h after LPS injection in both group P and E;MDA content of lung,liver,kidney decreased significantly (P <0.05 )at 6 h after LPS injection in group E,but only MDA content of lung decreased significantly (P <0.05)at 6 h af-ter LPS injection in group P;Compared with group P,serum IL-6 concentrations was significantly lower (P <0.05),and IL-10 concentrations was significantly higher (P <0.05)at 2 h and 6 h after LPS injection in group E;MDA content of lung,liver,kidney was significantly lower (P <0.05)at 6 h after LPS injection in group E.Conclusion Both propofol and etomidate injected in the abdominal cavity can reduce injury of inflammatory and oxidative stress in septic mice induced by LPS,and the effect of etomidate is more significant.
