Objective To investigate the anti-apoptotic effect of gene A20 in treatment of trau-matic brain injury (TBI). Methods Thirty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were made severe TBI models and assigned randomly to experimental group and control group (35 rats in each group). After severe TBI, the rats in experimental group were injected with liposome-pcDNA3.1-A20 and those in control group injected with liposome pcDNA3.1-A20 at 30 minutes after severe TBI. The animals in both groups were sacrificed to remove the brain of five rats from each group at 12, 24, 48, 72 and 168 hours for sec-tioning. The expression of A20 and neurocyte apoptosis were defined by immunohistological method and TUNEL accordingly. The other ten rats were testified for neurological function at 1,2, 3 and 4 weeks af-ter TBI. Results The expression of A20 in experimental group was higher than that in control group, with statistical differences (P < 0. 01). The peak neurocyte apoptosis was found at 72 hours after TBI. The number of apoptosis cells in experimental group was lower than that in control group at 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours afte TBI (P < 0.01 or 0.05). At the 4th week after TBI, the neurological function in exper-imental group was better than that in control group (P < 0.05). Conclusion Gene therapy with A20 may have anti-apoptosis effect and exert neuroprotective effect on severe TBI.

Aim Toresearchthemolecularmecha-nisms of DADS-induced apoptosis in human leukemia K562cells.Methods Cellviabilitywasmeasuredby MTT. Levels of DADS-induced ROS were measured by 2ˊ, 7ˊ-dichlorofluorescein diacetate ( DCFH-DA) fluo-rescence. DADS-induced mRNA levels of components of the NADPH oxidase were detected by Real-time PCR. The combination of protein Rac2 and p67phox was measured by immunoprecipitation assays. Flow cy-tometry methods were used to determine the percentage of apoptosis cells. DADS-induced Rac2 levels were measuredbyWesternblot.Results TheDADS-trea-ted K562 cells showed a dose-and time-dependent de-crease in cell viability and proliferation. There was sig-nificant up-regulation of the mRNA level of components of the NADPH oxidase complex in K562 cells after treatment with 6 mg·L-1 DADS for 6 h. Western blot results revealed that, compared with the control group, there was a significant up-regulation of Rac2 protein in K562 cells treated with 5. 0 and 10. 0 mg·L-1 DADS for 24h. And Rac2 combined with p67phox in DADS-induced apoptosis in K562 cells. PMA markedly in-creased the percentage of apoptotic cells, and DPI re-duced the percentage of apoptotic cells in DADS-in-duced K562 cells. Levels of DADS-induced ROS, also showed enhancement when exposed in PMA, but there was no DADS-induced ROS production evident when exposed in DPI in DADS induced K562 cells. Conclu-sions TheseresultsindicatethatNADPHoxidaseis the main source of DADS-induced ROS production. Diallyl disulfide induces apoptosis in human leukemia K562 cells through activation of NADPH oxidase.

Objective:To observe the clinical effects of tuina plus Western medication for functional dyspepsia (FD) due to liver qi stagnation and spleen deficiency.Methods:A total of 72 patients in conformity with the inclusion criteria of FD were randomly divided into an observation group and a control group based upon the random number table,36 cases in each group.The control group was treated with mosapride citrate dispersible tablets,and the observation group was treated with the same tablets plus tuina.Before the treatment and 4 weeks after the treatment,the clinical symptoms,quality of life (QOL) and depression severity were observed by the scale,and were followed up two months later after the treatment for assessment of the clinical effects.Results:After the treatment and at the follow-up,the symptom scores of FD and the sores of Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD) in both groups decreased,and the scores in Chinese version of quality of life questionnaire for functional digestive disorders (Chin-FDDQL) increased,with statistically significant differences in comparison with the same group before the treatment (all P＜0.05).In comparison between the two groups at the same time point after the treatment,the scores of FD symptoms,HAMD and Chin-FDDQL were improved better in the observation group than those in the control group,with statistically significant differences (all P＜0.05).The total effective rates at the follow-up were 91.7％ in the observation group and 75.0％ in the control group,without statistical difference between the two groups (P＞0.05).The rate of clinical cure and remarkable effect was 66.7％ in the observation group,higher than 41.7％ in the control group,it is higher in the observation group than that in the control group,with a statistically significant difference between the two groups (P＜0.05).Conclusion:Tuina plus Western medication is precise in the therapeutic effects for FD due to liver qi stagnation and spleen deficiency and can effectively relieve clinical symptoms,elevate the QOL and alleviate depression severity of the patients.Moreover,it's better than the treatment by Western medication alone in the long-term therapeutic effects.
