Although adhesion molecules have long been recognized to be differentially expressed on naive and effector/memory T cells,it has recently been found that a number of chemokine receptors are also differentially expressed on T cells,depending on their Ag experience and type of polarization. Recent data suggests that chemokines and their receptors are essential elements that regulate the positioning of T cells and their partners for priming and T helper 1 (Th1)- or Th2-mediated responses,therefore,are probably the most promising targets for treating immune diseases.

OBJECTIVE: To establish and a method for determination of allicin and the fingerprints of intravenous emulsion containing garlic oil. METHODS:GC method was applied to determine allicin in preparation and the fingerprints of intravenous emulsion containing garlic oil. The separation was performed on HP-5 (30 m?320 ?m?0.25 ?m) column with the flow rate of 1.0 mL?min-1 and inlet temperature of 250 ℃. The column temperature was 60~220 ℃ and rose by temperature-programmed method with N2 as carrier gas. The temperature of FID detector was 300 ℃ with furan as internal standard. RESULTS: The linear ranges of allicin were 0.05~2.4 mg?mL-1(r=0.999 8). The average recovery were 102.5% (RSD=0.41%,n=9). There were 17 mutual peaks in the fingerprints of intravenous emulsion containing garlic oil. The RSD of intra-day relative retention time and relative peak area were less than 0.05% and 8% respectively. After preparation setting for 48 h at room temperature, the RSD of relative retention time and relative peak areas were less than 0.08% and 15% respectively. The RSD of them in the replicate test were less than 0.04% and 8%, respectively. CONCLUSION: The method is accurate, reliable, simple and available for quality control of intravenous emulsion containing garlic oil

Objective To explore the role of OAZ gene in the pathogenesis of systemic lupus erythe-matosus (SLE) by using RNA interfering technique. Methods Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMC) from SLE patients were collected. Each sample was equally divided into four groups for cell culture in 96 well plates. Specific siRNA for OAZ and GAPDH were concordantly added to the experimental group and the positive control group, while nonspecific siRNA was added to the negative control group and only culture medium was added to the Mock control group. Cells and supernatants were harvested after culturing for 72 hours, then RNA was extracted and reverse transcripted to cDNA. OAZ, Id1, Id2, Id3, Id4 mRNA expression levels were analyzed by using real-time PCR. Levels of IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10, IL-12, IL-21, CCL2, ANA in the supernatant were tested by ELISA. Relationships between the expression levels of OAZ mRNA with levels of cytokines and ANA were analyzed. Results OAZ, Id1, Id2, Id3 gene mRNA expression levels (△Ct: 12.5±1.4, 8.9±1.5, 4.3±0.8, 8.04±1.1) in the experimental group were significantly decreased comparing to those in the negative control group (△Ct: 10.2±1.1, 6.5±1.2, 2.4±1.3, 6.2±1.2 respectively, P<0.05). Levels of IFN-γ, IL-10, IL-12, IL-21 and ANA in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the negative control group (P< 0.05), but level of CCL2 was higher than the negative control group (P<0.05). Difference of OAZ mRNA expression levels (△△Ct) between the experimental group and the negative control group was negatively correlated with changes of ANA, IL-21 levels, but positively correlated with changes of Th1/Th2, CCL2. Conclusion OAZ siRNA can effectively reduce the expression of genes involved in the OAZ signaling pathway in SLE. OAZ may lead to abnormal production of ANA via regulating Id genes and cytokines.

AIM To investigate the transdermal delivery effects of cyclosporine A solubilized in mixed micelles composed of phospholipid and different surfactants. METHODS When applied onto the excised abdominal skin of the mice occlusively, the enhancing effects of various mixed micelles on the penetration of cyclosporin A were assessed by an in vitro permeation technique. In vivo study was carried out by topical application of sodium cholate-phospholipid mixed micelles onto the mice skin and drug blood concentration was detected. RESULTS In vitro, mixed micelles containing different surfactants displayed distinct permeability and corresponded to the following order: sodium cholate > sodium deoxycholate > Trition X-100 > Tween-20. In vivo, peak drug concentration was detected at 5 h and after that the concentration fell down slowly. CONCLUSION Mixed micelles were shown to be efficient carrier for the transdermal delivery of the lipophilic polypeptide when kept in solution during the application process.

Objective To purify BMSCs by a simple Colony-Forming system and identify BMSCs in vitro.Methods BMSCs were planted at low-density ( 10/cm2 ) in the early stage of isolation,additional cells were scraped until a colony formed,secondly seeded those Colony-Forming cells at low-density.This process was repeat again when passaged cells formed another colony.This so called Colony-Forming selection was repeated several times until highly purified cells were obtained.Biological characters of BMSCs were observed.The surface antigens of BMSCs were identified by flow cytometry.The multipotentiality of BMSCs was assayed for differentiation into either osteoblasts or adipocytes.Results Homogeneous cells were obtained after BMSCs were passaged twice to thrice by Colony-Forming system.These BMSCs highly expressed positive surface antigens of BMSCs ( CD29 in 98.8%,CD90 in 98.4% ) meanwhile seldom expressed negative surface antigens of BMSCs (CD31 in 2.6%,CD45 in 3% ).BMSCs efficiently differentiated into osteoblasts and adipocytes.Conclusions Colony-Forming system is a simple and effective way to get highly purified BMSCs in a short time.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of the Humai powder for chemotherapy phlebitis. METHODS:80 pa-tients with chemotherapy phlebitis were randomly divided into treatment group and control group with 40 cases in each group. Treat-ment group was given Humai powder for external use,1 h/time,2 times/d;control group was given Hirudoid cream for external use,2 times/day. Venous pain,red and swollen disappearance time,and overall clinical efficacy were compared between 2 groups after treatment 48 hours. RESULTS:The time of red and swollen disappearance and pain disappearance in treatment group were shorter than in control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in clinical efficacy (cure rate + significant efficiency)between 2 groups(P>0.05),while cure rate of treatment group was significantly higher than that of control group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Humai powder can relieve clinical symptom of patients with chemotherapy phlebitis and has high cure rate.
