Objective:To explore the expression of LOX-1(lectin like oxidizeol low density lipoprotein receptor-1,LOX-1) in aorta of atherosclerotic rabbits and modulating the effect of fluvastatin and Shexiang baoxin pill on the gene and protein expression of LOX-1. Methods:Tirty-two New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups: hypercholesterol diet group (fed mth high cholesterol diet),hypercholesterol diet plus Fhevastatin group(fed with high cholesterol diet plus Fhe vastain 25mgl kgld).hypercholesterol diet plus shexiang Bao xin Pill group (fed with high cholesterol diet plus shegxiang Baoxinpill 25mgl kgld).normal diet gwup(fed mith regnlar chow),the protein expression of LOX-1 in aorta of rabbits were examined by immunohistochemsthy,the gene expresswin of LOX-1 in aorte of rabbits were examined by R7-PCK. Results:hypercholesterol diet group(fed with high cholesterol diet),hypercholesterol diet plus fluvastatin group(fed with high cholesterol diet plus Fluvastatin 25mg/kg?d), hypercholesterol diet plus Shexiang baoxin pill group(fed with high cholesterol diet plus Shexiang Baoxin Pill 25mg/kg?d),normal diet group(fed with regular chow),the protein expression of LOX-1 in aorta of rabbits were examined by immunohistochemistry,the gene expression of LOX-1 in aorta of rabbits were examined by RT-PCR. Conclusion:LOX-1 was expressed in rabbit aorta of hypercholesterol diet group and two treatment groups, expression of LOX-1 in two treatment groups both significantly reduced compared with hypercholesterol diet group(P

Objective:To search for a simple and rapid method of preparating the IL-2 conjugated immunoliposomes with high conjugate rate.Methods:The IL-2 conjugated immunoliposomes were prepared by Glutaraldhyde,Undecanal or Derivatization.All methods were analyzed and compared.The conjugate rate of IL-2 was determined by Bradford Assay.Centrifugal acceleration experiment served to prove the liposome stability.Results:IL-2 conjugated liposome by shiff’s base through Undecanal didn’t cause IL-2-self or liposme-self inter-cross link,and conjugate rate was high and stability was good.Conclution:Undecanal is suggested to prepare the IL-2 conjugated immunoliposomes for the anaphase cell experiment.

Objective To explore the effect of self-made water pillow on absolute bed rest patients.Methods Eight-eight patients were randomly allocated into observation group(n=46)and control group(n=42).The patients in the control group received daily care with conventional cotton pillows which were placed at the compression part, while those in the observation group were treated with newly designed water pillows.Both groups received constant turn-over to avoid pressure sores.The two groups were compared in terms of times of daily turn-over,degree of comfort and rate of skin pressuring red.Results The time of daily turn-over in the observation group was less than that of the control group and the degree of comfort was higher and the rate of skin pressuring red smaller all with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of the self-made water pillow can effectively prevent pressure sore,enhance comfort degree of absolute bed rest patients and reduce the workload of nursery.It is simple, economical,convenient and safe.

Objective: To study the effect of Resen heche tablets (RSHC) on tonyfing and warming Shen Yang. Methods: The mice model of Shen Yang deficiency was established by injecting hydrocortisone. The body weight, autonomic activity and swimming time in ice water in model mice were observed. The level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in red cell and lipid peroxide (LPO) in plasma of aged rats were analyzed. The effect on anti stress in mice was examined. Results: RSHC had the remarkable effect to improve body weight and autonomic activity and to prolong swimming time in ice water in model mice, and to increase SOD activity and reduce LPO in blood of aged rats, and to elevate the ability of anti fatigue and anoxic tolerance in mice. Conclusion: RSHC drug has the effect on tonifying and warming Shen Yang; can promote growth, enhance organism activity, elevate the adaptation to circumstances and protect injury from free radicals.

Baculoviruses are a family of arthropod-specific viruses that produce two morphologically distinct types of virions (budded and occlusion-derived) in their lifecycle. Baculoviruses establish infection in the midgut of their host via the oral route: occlusion-derived virions have pivotal roles in these processes. This review summarizes the basic characteristics of baculoviruses, and discusses the composition and classification of baculovirus occlusion-derived virions. The latter focuses mainly on the evolution and role of multiple occlusion-derived virions in the lifecycle of baculoviruses. These achievements should aid understanding the evolution and infection mechanisms of baculoviruses.

In recent years,two important component proteins of the calcium release-activated calcium channel (CRAC) were identified fromDrosophila cells by RNA interference technique,including the calcitum sensor stromal interaction molecule 1 (STIM1) on the endoplasmic reticulum and the CRAC channel protein Orail on the cell membrane.Studies have shown that STIM 1 and Orail have regulatory effects on vascular smooth muscle cells,platelets,vascular endothelial cells and other cells.They play important roles in the aspects of vascular smooth muscle cell phenotypic modulation,hemostasis,thrombosis,and neovascularization.It shows that they both may be closely associated with ischemic cerebrovascular disease.This article reviews the advances in research on STIM1 and Orail proteins in ischemic cerebrovascular disease in order to investigate the possibility of STIM1/Orai1 as a new target in the prevention andtreatment of ischemic cerebrovascular

Type 1 diabetes is pathologically characterized by autoimmune insulitis-related islet β-cell destruction.Although intensive insulin therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes can correct hyperglycemia,this therapy does not effectively prevent diabetes-related cardiovascular complications.Hence,preservation of natural β-cell function is critical for the prevention of diabetes-related complications.Receut studies have shown that autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation ( A HSCT) is a new promising approach for the treatment of type 1 diabetes by reeonstitution of immunotolerance and preservation of islet β-cell function.Here we introduce the key results of a clinical trial ( NCT 01341899,ClinicalTrials.gov) performed in Chinese type 1 diabetes patients ( most of them with diabetic ketoacidosis at onset ) and discuss the potential mechanisms underlying the action of HSCT and its prospects in the clinical management of type 1 diabetes.

Objective To understand the relationship between coagulation factors,inflammatory reaction and coronary heart disease(CHD) by analyzing the changes of fibrinogen (Fib), D-dimer (DD) ,C-reactive protein(CRP) and white blood cell (WBC) count. Methods The levels of Fib, DD, CRP and WBC were measured and compared in 91eases with CHD[ineluding 34 cases of acute myocar-dial infarction (AMI group),30 eases of unstable angina peetoris (UAP group) and 27 eases of stable angina peetoris (SAP group)] and 30 healthy controls (healthy control group). Results Plasma con-centrations of Fib, DD, CRP and WBC were the highest in AMI group, followed by those in UAP group,SAP group and healthy control group. There were statistical differences in the above parameters between AMI group and UAP group; so were between UAP group and SAP group. There was no sig-nificant difference between UAP group and healthy control group (P>0. 05). Conclusion The coagu-lation factors and inflammatory reaction are closely associated with occurrence and development of cor-onary heart disease. Four parameters (Fib,DD,CRP and WBC) can be used as adjuvant indicators of differentiating types of CHD and evaluating severity of disease.
