1.Effect of tumor necrosis factor-α and asymmetric dimethylarginine on left ventricle of patients with primary hypertension
Clinical Medicine of China 2010;26(1):3-5
Objective To understand the level of tulnor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and asymmetric dimethylarginine (ADMA) in serum of healthy adults and primary hypertension patients with different left ventricle,and to explore the role of TNF-α and ADMA in the pathophysiological mechanism of heart damage due to hypertension.Methods Thirty health adults were recruited as control.Based on the left ventricular mass index(LVMI)and relative wall thickness(RWT),66 patients of hypertension were divided into 4 groups:normal left ventricle group with normal LVMI and RWT,concentric remolding group with normal LVMI and incremental RWT,typical concentric hypertrophy group with incremental LVMI and RWT,eccentric left ventricular group incremental LVMI and normal RWT.TNF-α was measured by radioimmunoassay and ADMA was measured through reversed phase high-performance liquid chromatography.Resuits TNF-α and ADMA increased with the severity of the left ventricle.Each left ventricle group was significantly higher than control group (P<0.01).The differences between left ventricle groups were statistically significant (P<0.01).Conclusions TNF-α and ADMA may participate in the development of left ventricle.

Objective To prepare 99Tcm-human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) affibody (ABH2) and explore its feasibility as an imaging agent in HER2-positive breast cancer.Methods Sodium glucoheptonate and SnCl2 · 2H2O were used to label ABH2 with 99Tcm.The labeling yield and radiochemical purity of 99Tcm-ABH2 were determined.The stability of 99Tcm-ABH2 was tested in PBS and serum.The equilibrium disassociation constant (Kd) of 99Tcm-ABH2 was measured with MBA-MD-361 breast cancer cells.SPECT/CT imaging was carried out at 1.0 h and 4.5 h after injection of 37 MBq 99Tcm-ABH2 in nude mice (n=4) xenografted with MBA-MD-361 breast cancer.The T/NT (liver,brain,lung,heart,bone and muscle) ratios were deduced from SPECT/CT acquired data.For the blocking experiment,200 μg ABH2 was injected intravenously before 99Tcm-ABH2 injection.SPECT/CT imaging was performed in the same way.The T/NT ratios were compared between non-blocked and blocked groups by one-way analysis of variance.Results Fhe labeling yield of 99Tcm-ABH2 was above 99%.99Tcm-ABH2 was substantially stable in PBS and serum;the radiochemical purity was (95.0± 1.0)% after incubation with serum at 37 ℃ for 6.0 h.The Kd of 99Tcm-ABH2 was 1.7 nmol/L.The radioactive uptake in cancer was visualized at 1.0 h and 4.5 h after injection of 99Tcm-ABH2 in HER2 positive MDA-MB-361 breast cancer.99Tcm-ABH2 was cleared out mainly through urinary system.The ratios of tumor to liver,lung,brain,heart,muscle and bone were 1.81± 0.60,8.95±1.13,20.08±6.12,7.61±0.56,10.62±1.78,11.42±2.07,respectively at 4.5 h after 99Tcm-ABH2 injection.After ABH2 blocking,the corresponding T/NT ratios were 0.60±0.23,3.05± 1.38,5.24±2.17,2.42±1.02,8.16±2.66,2.76±0.48 (F=29.38,P<0.05) respectively.Conclusion 99Tcm-ABH2 could be synthesized with high purity,and this new agent could be used to image HER2-positive breast cancer specifically.

Objective To prepare 2-[18F]fiuoropropionic acid (18F-FPA) and evaluate its biodistribution and imaging capacity in Lewis lung carcinoma-bearing mice.Methods 18F-FPA was prepared by nucleophilic substitution reaction,and its hydrophilicity was analyzed.18F-FPA (7.4-11.1 MBq) was injected into Lewis lung carcinoma-bearing mice via tail vein.MicroPET imaging was performed at 20,80 min after the injection.The biodistribution of 18F-FPA in organs was analyzed.The blocking effects of sodium propionate and dichloroacetate to 18F-FPA were tested in vivo.Data were analyzed by two-sample t test using GraphPad Prism software.Results The synthesis of 18F-FPA took 40 min.18F-FPA had high radiochemical purity (>99%) and hydrophilicity.18F-FPA was mainly distributed in the carcinoma,the urinary bladder and the caecum.The radioactive uptakes in muscles,brown fat and bones were relatively low.Quantitative analysis showed that the uptake of 18F-FPA in Lewis lung carcinoma from 20 min to 80 min was slightly increased ((17.03±2.87) %ID/g vs (19.33±2.45) %ID/g) without significant difference (t=1.100,P>0.05).Neither sodium propionate nor dichloroacetate could block the uptake of 18F-FPA in Lewis lung carcinoma (t=1.544,0.894;both P>0.05).Conclusions 18F-FPA can be quickly synthesized and has good physicochemical properties.It can be used as a tracer to visualize Lewis lung carcinoma in mice,and its tumor uptaking can not be blocked by propionate and dichloacetate.18 F-FPA PET has the potential to detect lung cancer noninvasively in clinic.

Objective To make a survey on common cosmetic allergens, and to provide epidemiological data and clinical evidence for cosmetic allergy. Methods Patch test was performed by using 49cosmetic allergens from a European cosmetic series and 5 Chinese standard screening allergens on 89patients with suspected cosmetic allergic contact dermatitis. Test results were determined according to the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group (ICDRG) recommendation. Results Of the 89 patients, 61(68.5%) showed positive reactions to one or more cosmetic allergens. The most common allergens were fragrances (33.7%), followed by preservatives (30.3%), para-phenylenediamine (25.8%) and amerchol L 101(10.1%). Conclusion Fragrances, preservatives, para-phenylenediamine and amerchol L 101 are dominant causative allergens in patients with cosmetic allergic contact dermatitis.

The basic pain threshold and pain tolerance were measured by use of radiant heat stimulation in healthy volunteers, which were close to normal distribution. The stability was obtained by repeated determination for same individuals in different time. With this method, a clinical assessment of analgesic drugs was carried out among healthy volunteers. Acetaminophen-Codeine tablet ( 2 tablets ) was able to depress pain response by increasing pain threshold and tolerance of 23% and 12% ( P

Objective To investigate the effect of angiotensin Ⅱ(AngⅡ) and losartan on ? cells,and its related molecular mechanisms.Methods Normally cultured RIN-m cells were divided into three groups:control group(cultured with RPMI 1640 medium),AngⅡ group(treated with 100 nmol/L AngⅡ),losartan group(treated with 1 ?mol/L losartan 15min before addition of 100nmol/L AngⅡ).After incubation for another 48h,the apoptosis rate of RIN-m cells was quantified by flow cytometry(FCM) with Annexin-V FITC/PI dual staining.The expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax mRNA and protein were determined by RT-PCR and Western blotting,and the activities of Caspase 3 and Caspase 9 were detected by spectrophotometry.Results The apoptosis rate of RIN-m cells was significantly higher in AngⅡgroup than in both control and losartan group(P0.05).In comparison to the control group,the expressions of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein significantly declined,while of Bax mRNA and protein increased obviously in AngⅡ group(P0.05),but the expressions of Bcl-2 mRNA and protein were significantly higher(P0.05).Conclusion AngⅡ may induce the apoptosis of ? cells through mitochondrial pathway,and pre-intervention with losartan,which partly reverses the effect of AngⅡ,may play a protective effect on ? cells.

Objective To evaluate t le effects of various mutants of PAK6 kinase on the proliferation of prostate cancer cells and their roles in the pathology of prostate cancer. Methods Variant mutants of PAK6 kinase, including wild type ( WT),kinase activated type (SN) and kinase inactivated type (KM) , were in vitro constructed according to the PAK6 sequence,and were transfected into the LNCaP cells by Lipo-fectamine. G418 was used to select the stable cell line. Phosphorylated PAK6 antibody was used in Western blot to detect the kinase expression in the eel.s. The proliferation rate was measured by MTT assay;the growth effects of the cells stimulated by androgen were also recorded and compared. Results Different LNCaP cell lines expressing wild type, kinase activated and kinase inactivated PAK6 were prepared successfully. Wild type (WT) PAK6 and the kinase activated PAK6-SN significantly inhibited the growth of LNCaP cells by 32. 1% and 39. 3%,respectively (P
