Objective To investigate the elasticity reduction of liver tissue due to microwave ablation and the relevance to the histographic damages. Methods An experimental study using fresh porcine liver was designed. Elasto-ultrasonography scanning both in color display and strain ratio calculations was conducted before and 5 min after microwave ablation ( 2450 MHz) in manner of antenna insertion under ultrasound guidance to determine the alterations of the liver elasticity, in correspondence with the histopathologic assessment of each ROI. Results Elasto-ultrasonography showed a significant elasticity reduction and hardness augment of the targeted liver tissue and the corresponding histopathology revealed increases in the amount of massive coagulative necrosis and coking of liver cells after microwave irradiation,in proportional to the applied field power and working time. Conclusions Elasto-ultrasonography helps to demonstrate microwave-induced lesion in porcine liver got rapidly hardened. It is possible to estimate the tissue necrosis to the changing of tissue hardening.

AIM To investigate the effects of tranfection of IL 2R antisense RNA expression plasmids on mouse spleen cells' proliferation in vitro and its possible mechanism. METHODS Spleen cells were transfected with IL 2R antisense RNA eukaryotic expression plasmids using adhesion assisted lipofection method, and then the spleen cells were stimulated by mitogen. Cells' proliferation was tested by tetrazolium salt (MTT) method. IL 2R mRNA and protein expression level were measured by slot blot hybridization assay and flow cytometry method respectively. RESULTS The proliferation of spleen cells was inhibited obviously after transfecting with recombinant plasmids. The inhibitory rate of pcAnti mIL 2R?? and pciAnti mIL 2R?? transfected group was higher than that of pcAnti mIL 2R? and pcAnti mIL 2R? transfected group; the inhibitory rate of pcAnti mIL 2R? tranfected group was higher than that of pcAnti mIL 2R? tranfected group. No inhibitory effect on the growth of NIH3T3 cells was observed when they were transfected with recombinant plasmids. IL 2R mRNA and protein expression level were decreased in spleen cells after transfection of recombinant plasmids. CONCLUSION IL 2R antisense RNA can efficiently inhibit the proliferation of mouse spleen cells in vitro. IL 2R?? chimeric antisense RNA showed higher inhibitory rate than ? or ? antisense RNA. IL 2R? antisense RNA was more effective than ? antisense RNA. It can be concluded preliminarily that the inhibitory effect of IL 2R antisense RNA was exclusively on the growth of cells functionally expressing IL 2R. The inhibitory effect on the spleen cells proliferation was likely due to the blocking of IL 2R expression by antisense RNA.

BACKGROUND: Studies have demonstrated that incidence rate of acute rejection in renal transplant recipients with pre-production of major histocompatibility complex class I chain-related gene A (MICA), including parts of autoantibody, before transplantation in body, is obviously greater than that of recipients with negative antibody. OBJECTIVE: To investigate effects of exogenous antigen on MICA expression in endothelial cells. METHODS: The endothelial cells were cultured with exogenous recombinant MICA protein (group M5, M10 and M25) and heat shock protein-70 (group H5, H10 and H25) with dosages of 5, 10 and 25 μg/L, respectively, for 48 hours. Same volume of phosphate buffer saline was added into the control groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 48 hours after induction, the expressions of MICA mRNA and protein were increased significantly in each experimental group (M5, M10 and M25) than that of the control group with significant (P < 0.05). The expression of MICA mRNA and MICA protein of group M5 and group M10 were remarkably higher than group M25 (P < 0.05); however, there was no significant difference between group M5 and M10 (P > 0.05). The expression of MICA membrane protein in the group M10 was obviously greater than that of the group M5 and M25 (P < 0.05). The level of soluble MICA (sMICA) in experimental groups (M5, M10 and M25) was decreased obviously comparing with that of the control group. These differences had statistical significances (P < 0.05). But there was no significant difference among the experimental groups (P > 0.05). However, the expression of MICA gene and sMICA level did not change after heat shock protein-70 stimulation. The exogenous MICA antigen up-regulates the expression of MICA mRNA and protein, especially increases the expression of membrane protein on the cell surface significantly, but sMICA in supernatant was dramatically decreased.

Objective To study the pathological characteristics of interleukin-16 (IL-16) and CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3) in pulmonary artery of smokers with normal lung function and smokers with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods We examined surgical specimens from three groups of subjects undergoing lung resection for localized pulmonary lesions: group NS(nonsmokers with normal lung function, n=10); group S (smokers with normal lung function, n=13); group COPD (smokers with stable COPD, n=10). The clinical datas including blood gas analysis, pulmonary function,BMI, smoking index, BODE index, six-minute-walk distance (6MWD), Medical Research Council dyspened scale (MRC), St. George Respiratory Questionnaire (SGRQ) were recorded in all subjects before the operation. We applied technique of hematoxylin-eosin staining to observe pathomorphological changes of the pulmonary arteries. The concentration of IL-16 in lung tissues were measured by ELISA. Muscularized arteries were examined with immunohistochemical methods to identify T-lymphocytes (CD_3), CD_4 T-lymphocytes, CD_8 T-lymphocytes, IL-16, CXCR3. The correlation of IL-16 and CXCR3 in muscnlarized arteries in smokers with stable COPD were analysed. Results (1) The group COPD showed the highest concentration of IL-16 in lung tissue (P <0. 01) . The concentration of IL-16 in group S was higher than group NS (P<0.05). (2) Both in group S and group COPD, the percentage of the muscularized arteries that contained CXCR3 and IL-16 were increased as compared with group NS (P < 0. 01). Moreover there were statistical significance have been observed between group COPD and group S(P < 0.01). (3) The intensity of IL-16 infiltrating the muscularized arteries in group COPD showed a positive correlation with CD_3~+ T-lymphocytes, CD_8~+ T-lymphocytes, CXCR3 (r=0.639,0. 803,0. 696; P < 0. 05 or P < 0. 01), smoking index, BODE index (r= 0.737,0. 704; P < 0. 05). There was inverse relationship between the content of IL-16 in the muscularized arteries in group COPD and forced expiratory volume in one second% predicted (FEV_1 % Pred) and 6MWD (r=-0.803,-0.787; P<0.01). We also found the intensity of CXCR3 infiltrating the muscularized arteries in group COPD showed a positive correlation with CD_3~+ T-lymphocytes,CD_8~+ T-lymphocytes(r=0.650,0.767; P<0.05), smoking index, BODE index (r=0.650,0.767; P< 0.05). There was inverse relationship between the content of CXCR3 in the muscularized arteries in group COPD and FEV_1 % Pred and 6MWD (r=-0.778,-0.774;P<0.01). Conclusions (1) Both in group S and group COPD, IL-16 and CXCR3 were mainly expressed in lymphocytes which were correlated with CD_8~+ T-lymphocytes infiltrating the muscularized arteries. There were some suggestion that IL-16 prohaly recruited CD_8~+ T-lymphocytes into muscularized arteries by enhancing the expression of CXCR3. (2) The intensity of IL-16 and CXCR3 were correlated with the index of clinical and pulmonary function that suggested pulmonary arterial inflammation might be one of the key factors associated with the progression of COPD, and inhibiting the pulmonary artery inflammation played an important role in prevention and cure of COPD.
