In recent years,researches on drugs concentrated in the ecosystem have become a hot topic. Environmental pharmacology is a new subject studying the source and fate of drugs in the environment. It is found that a lot of pharmaceuticals and pharmaceutically active compounds are released into the environment by the pharmaceutical industry,hospitals and agricultured activities. Drugs in the environment not only affect the ecosystem,which leads to bacterial resistance,but also affect the balance of flora in the biofilm. Furthermore,such drugs may induce epigenetic changes, which may leave to the body vulnerable to diseases. The enrichment of endocrine disruptors can inter?fere with the growth and function of the human reproductive system. China is becoming concerned about environmental drugs. The development of environmental pharmacology can help clarify the interac?tions between drugs and the environment while contributing to public health and food safety in China.

AIM: To explore the characteristics of T cell activation and regulatory T cells derived from murine Peyer's patches through comparative studies on Peyer's patches, mesenteric lymph nodes and inguinal lymph nodes. METHODS: Signal cell suspendsions were prepared from murine mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs), the Peyer's patches (PPs) and inguinal lymph nodes (ILNs), respectively. The percentage of cell subpopulations such as CD3+ T cells, CD3+CD4+ helper T cells and regulatory T cells (Treg, CD4+CD25+) were analyzed. Lymphocytes were activated by polyclonal stimulators such as concanavalin (Con A), phorbol 12, 13-dibutyrate (PDB) only, and PDB plus ionomycin (Ion). The expression of CD69 (the early marker of CD3+ T cell activation) was measured by FACS. RESULTS: A lower ratio of CD3+ T cells was seen in PPs than those in MLNs and ILNs. The ratios of CD3+ CD4+ T cells to CD3+ T cells in PPs, MLNs and ILNs were almost the same. A higher rate of Treg was seen in CD4+ T cells from the PPs as compared with those from MLNs and ILNs. A higher percentage of activated CD3+ T cells derived from the PPs cultured without polyclonal stimulators were detected as compared to MLNs and ILNs, while lower responsiveness of CD3+ T cells from the PPs stimulated by Con A was seen as compared with those from MLNs and ILNs. CONCLUSIONS: The lower rate of CD3+ T cells as well as higher rate of Treg in PPs was due to its desensitization. The higher rate of basic activated state in CD3+ T cells from the PPs indicated that the T cells were activated by enteric antigens in physiological conditions. The lower responsiveness of activation to some polyclonal stimulators probably reveals that the T cells are in a state of anergy. All the characteristics mentioned above contribute to prevent pathological inflammations and maintain tolerance to enteric antigens such as food proteins and commensal bacteria but simultaneously retain proper immune responses to pathogenic microbes.

AIM: To explore the inhibitory effect of oxymatrine (OMT) on the allergic contact dermatitis (ACD) stimulated by dinitrofluorobenzene (DNFB) and its effects on the proliferation of the lymphocytes. METHODS: ① An ACD mouse model was established by stimulation with DNFB, and then the mice were injected intraperitoneally with different dosages of OMT, PBS and hydrocortisone (HCT) respectively, the swelling degree of their auricles was examined. ② Carboxyfluorescein diacetate, succinimidyl ester (CFDA-SE) dye and flow cytometer were used to examine the fluorescence intensity changes of lymphocytes stimulated by polyclonal stimulator ConA and OMT. RESULTS: ① compared with PBS group, OMT possessed the strong inhibitory effect on the ACD caused by DNFB in a dose-dependent manner, and its inhibitory effect was equivalent to the HCT of the same dosage with fewer side effects. ② In vitro experiments proved that OMT (500, 125 and 31 mg/L) had the ability to restrain the proliferation of lymphocytes of mouse. CONCLUSION: OMT possesses an inhibitory effect on the ACD induced by DNFB, and OMT is a kind of immunosuppressor.

AIM: To investigate the characterization of absorption of hematoporphyrin monomerthyl ether (HMME), a domestic new generation photosensitizer product, by activated T cells from human peripheral blood. METHODS: Evaluation was performed by flow cytometry on the effects of incubating concentration and time of HMME on absorption by activated T cells. Lymphocytes were separated from human peripheral blood by density gradient centrifugation with Ficoll and T cells were activated with polyclonal stimulators PHA and PDB+Ion. To analyze the effects of HMME incubating doses on the absorption of activated T cells, the cultural lymphocytes were incubated with a serial doses of HMME for 1 h and HMME absorption were measured by FACS after immuno-staining with anti-CD3 antibody. To test the impact of HMME incubating time on the absorption of activated T cells, the cultural lymphocytes were incubated with HMME for various times and HMME absorption were measured by FACS after immuno-staining with anti-CD3 antibody. RESULTS: The HMME absorption-dose curve and absorption-time curve were shifted to right and up in the activated T cells as compared to resting T cells. HMME absorptions of activated T cells were statistic significantly larger than that of resting T cells in the doses between 5 mg/L to 20 mg/L. HMME absorptions of either activated T cells or resting T cells underwent a gradual increase with the incubation-time in HMME at concentration of 10 mg/L. HMME absorptions of activated T cells were statistic significantly larger than that of resting T cells in the incubation-time between 15 to 60 min. CONCLUSION: The differences of HMME absorption between activated T cells and resting T cells depend on the incubation times and doses of HMME. HMME absorption of activated T cells are significantly larger than that of resting T cells in certain incubation-times and doses. These results suggest that incubation time and dose associated with HMME-PDT therapeutic windows will be created for selective deletion of activated T cells.

Objective To describe the clinical presentations,radiographic findings and histological pathology of bones,diagnosis,treatment options and prognosis for patients with Gorham-Stout syndrome (GSS).Methods Clinical data of 5 GSS patients seen from January 1980 to January 2008 were reviewed.Results(1)There were 2 males and 3 females,aged 15 years to 37 years(mean age was 30.2 years).(2)All of thern had osteolysis,but the site and extent of involved bones were not the same.Three cases had large amount of bloody pieural effusion and two of them had also chylous effusion.All of the 5 cases had no evidence of malignancies.Four cases accepted bone biopsy.Among them,2 cases having local puncture and open biopsy showed typical bone pathologic manifestations.(3)Various forms of treatment including bisphosphonates,calcium supplementation,active vitD3 treatment,local radiation therapy and surgical ligation of thoracic duct were tried.(4)Follow up and clinical outcomes:the two cases,who had only bone osteolysis remained stable.Of the other three cases who had bone osteolysis associated with pleural effusion,one patient needed interrupted effusion drainage with stable bone impairment and the other two cases were out of contact.Conclusions GSS is a rare disorder charactcrized by progressive osteoIysis.The clinical presentations of this disease are variable and depend on the sites of involvement.There were no standard therapy available.Prognosis depends on the site of involvement,extent of the disease and presence of complications.Those who have plueral effusion had poor prognosis.
