Objective To establish chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD)rat models,and to study the intervention of the formula of nourishing Qi,activating blood circulation and dispersing phlegm recipe on the morphology.Method To establish rat COPD models by intratracheal instillation of lipopolysaccharide and exposure to cigarette smoke.To instill intervention drug daily either the formula of nourishing Qi,activating blood circulation and dispersing phlegm recipe or the roxithromythin,starting on the 20th,30th and 40th day of the experiment respectively(the groups was named h 20,h 30,h 40,r 20, r 30 and r 40 for short),and to observe the effect on the morphology by means of collagen staining and image analyzer.Results The pathological changes and lung function in the model group were accorded with the human COPD.In drug intervention groups,airway inflammation and epithelial proliferation were alleviated to different degree compared to the model group.In model group,the collagen deposition was increased predominant type I collagen compared to the health comtrol group,and the deposition in the drug intervention groups were decreased compared to the model group,according to the Sirius redpolarizing microscopy morphometry method.The thickness of the airway wall in the model group was significantly increased compared to the health control group(P

Objective To study the effect of human Slitrk1 gene on proliferation and differentiation of PC12 cells. Methods The CDS sequence of Slitrk1 was amplified by PCR, and then cloned into pcDNA4 vector. The recombinant plasmid pcDNA4/Slitrk1 were transfected into rat PC12 cells by lipofectamine. The stable expression cell clones were screened by RT-PCR. MTT method was used to detect the proliferation rate of PC12 cells. The morphologic changes in PC12 cells were observed microscopically. Results The stable cell lines expressing pcDNA4 (pcDNA4/PC12) and pcDNA4/Slitrk1 (ST1/PC12) were established. Compared to pcDNA4/PC12 cells, the growth rate of ST1/PC12 cells was decreased. In addition, pcDNA4/PC12 cells tend to grow as well as the normal PC12 cells. However, most of the ST1/PC12 cells adhered to the plate with one or two neurites. Conclusion Over-expression of human Slitrk1 gene inhibited the proliferation of PC12 cells and promoted the outgrowth of neurites. It is suggested that human Slitrk1 gene may be involved in differentiation of PC12 cells.

Objective: To design and synthesize a novel vector for rhBMP2 delivery system in tissue engineering. Methods:Dextran glycidol methacrylate(dex-GMA) was synthesized with dextran(dex) and glycidol methacrylate(GMA).Dex-GMA microspheres were prepared by suspension polymerization. The swelling behavior of the microspheres was evaluated by the swelling equilibrium parameter Q. The biodegradation properties of the dextran-based hydrogel microspheres were assessed by the surface morphology before and after biodegradation. Results:Microspheres of dex-GMA in the size(diameter) of 20 to 80 ?m with good configuration were produced. Q value of the microspheres with the diameter of 20-30 ?m was 10.9?3.3,that of those with 70-80 ?m 8.9?6.4.Stirring speed, span-80(emulsifer) quantity and the proportion of dex-GMA affected the size of the microspheres. rhBMP2 was enveloped into the microspheres. Complete degradation of the microspheres was observed during 20 to 40 days at 37 ℃ in normal saline. Conclusion: Dex-GMA hydrogel microspheres may be a release controlling system for rhBMP2 delivery.

Objective: To investigate the cause and mechanism of oral lichen planus (OLP). Methods: The expression of cyclins dependent kinases (CDK4) in epithelial cells in the samples in 40 cases of OLP and in 10 cases of healthy controls was observed by immunohistochemical method. Results: The expression indexes of CDK4 in the epithelial basal layer and spinous layer in OLP were 0. 5637 ? 0. 0201 and 0. 5388? 0. 0120, those in the healthy control were 0. 4020? 0. 0155 and 0. 3480? 0. 0163, respectively(p

Objective To isolate and identify advanced oxidation protein products from human serum albumin (AOPP-HSA), expecting to search for a method of preparing highly purified and bioactive AOPP-HSA. Methods AOPP-HSA crude products were prepared in vitro by exposing HSA to HOCl. AOPP-HSA was isolated by gel chromatography and ion-exchange HPLC. Its structural features and biological activities were characterized by UV and fluorescence spectrum, SDS-PAGE, and the experiment of TNF-? release from monocytes. Results The isolated protein was purified up to 99.4% and was dityrosine-containing protein cross-linking products with molecular weight of 700?10 3. It possessed the ability of triggering the considerable release of TNF-? from monocytes. Conclusion Highly purified and bioactive AOPP-HSA can be successfully prepared by above-mentioned two-step chromatography from AOPP-HSA crude products, which builds a basis for further study of AOPP.
