Purpose:To investigate the antitumor effect of 5-fluorocytosine/cytosine deaminase (5FC/CD) suicide gene system combined with heat shock protein 70 peptide complexes(HSP70-PC) tumor vaccine.Methods:5-FC was administrated intraperitoneally after recombinant adenoviruses carrying E.coli CD gene were injected into murine tumor tissue. At the same time,mice bearing tumor were inoculated s.c. with HSP70-PC. Results:The combined therapy led to reduction in tumor growth, and complete tumor regression was observed in 70% of the mice. After the combined therapy, the tumor tissue showed more CD + 4 and CD + 8T cells infiltration, and the murine CTL activities increased significantly. Conclusions:The therapy combining 5-FC/CD system with HSP-PC tumor vaccine is very effective in murine gastric cancer, and has potential for clinical usage.

Objective To investigate the effect of pulmonary surfactant on neonatal with acute respiratory distress syndrome.Methods98 cases with neonatal respiratory distress syndrome inthe fourth hospital of Ningbo were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 49 cases in each group.All patients were given warm, anti infection, and maintain the internal environment stability, prevention of bleeding and other conventional treatment.The control group were treated with mechanical CPAP, the experimental group were given pulmonary surfactant 70mg/kg, concentration is 35mg/mL.Pulmonary surfactant was injected slowly by tracheal intubation at supine, lateral(left, right) and semi recumbent position.The drug was distributed evenly in the lung of the patients who were given the drug 1-2 times.Respiratory frequency (RR), pH, oxygen partial pressure (PaO2), partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2) levels and the incidence of complications, clinical effective rate of the tthe two groups were observed and compared.ResultsCompared with pre-treatment, RR and PaCO2 levels were decreased, pH and PaO2 levels were increased after treatment in the two groups, the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05);compared with the control group, RR, PaCO2 level were lower, pH and PaO2 levels were higher in the experimental group, the differences has statistical significance (P<0.05);compared with the control group, the experimental groupwith a low incidence of complications, clinical effective rate is higher, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).ConclusionPulmonary surfactant can reduce the respiratory frequency in neonatal with acute respiratory distress syndrome, improve arterial blood gas levels, which get better clinical curative effect.

Results After 8 weeks treatment,CGRP content of two groups were increased,and that of cluster needling group was increased significantly compared with control group (P

Objective: To study changes of ultrastructure of atrial endothelial cells during acute atrial fibrillation (AF) in canines, and explore the possible mechanism of AF left atrial thrombosis. Methods: A total of 16 healthy adult mongrel canines were randomly and equally divided into blank control group (only received thoracotomy without pacing) and rapid atrial pacing (RAP) group (established acute AF model). Myocardial tissue of left and right appendage were taken from two groups and received hematoxylin eosin (HE) staining, then myocardial cell morphological changes was observed under ordinary light microscope; morphological changes of appendage endothelial cells was observed under electron microscope. Results: (1) Paroxysmal AF was successfully induced in all canines of RAP group; (2) There were no significant difference in morphology of appendage and endocardial tissue under ordinary light microscope between two groups; 3. Under transmission electron microscope, endothelium cell of appendage tissue presented defect of different extent, and some shedding in RAP group; while endothelial cell layer was complete with absence of necrosis and shedding in blank control group. Compared with blank control group, there was significant rise in endothelial cell incompleteness (12.5% vs. 75.0%) in RAP group, P=0.041. Conclusion: When acute atrial fibrillation occurs, endothelial cell ultrastructure has already changed, which may be related to thrombosis adhered to wall during atrial fibrillation.

[Objective] To observe the dynamic changes of circulating immune complex (CIC) in monkeys infected by simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV). [Methods] Agglutination test of complement-sensitized yeast cell was used to determine the serum CIC level in 30 cases of monkeys, which were infected with SIVmac251 and sampled in different time-points after infection. Sixty-eight cases of normal monkeys were also examined as controls. [Results] After SIV infection, CIC can't be detected in all 30 monkeys until the 4th week, the total positive rate being 30% . In the 8th week, CIC were detected in 46.7% of these monkeys and then declined gradually in the following 12 weeks. Since the 20th week, the CIC in these monkeys maintained lower liter and lower positive rate which was close to that of the normal monkeys (about 10%). [Conclusion] CIC appeared and increased during the primary SIV infection and declined accompanying with the virus clearance from the circulalion. The formation of CIC may not benefit to the control of virus replication and the induction of anti-virus immunity; CIC has a role in the pathogenesis after SIV infection.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow stromal stem cel s have multilineage differentiation capacity and can differentiate into transparent chondrocytes under certain conditions, which can provide new thoughts for treatment of osteoarthritis. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of Tougu Xiaotong Granule containing serum on the cartilage differentiation of bone marrow stromal stem cel s. METHODS:Bone marrow stromal stem cel s from Sprague-Dawley rat limbs were cultured in vitro, and those cel s at passage 3 were used in the study. Cel s were divided into six groups:saline serum group, Tougu Xiaotong Granule water extract group, Tougu Xiaotong Granule alcohol extract group, chondroinductive group, Tougu Xiaotong Granule water extract and chondroinductive group, Tougu Xiaotong Granule alcohol extract and chondroinductive group. The Sox9, col agen Ⅱ, and col agen X mRNA and protein expression levels were tested by real-time polymerase chain reaction and western blot analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After cel s were intervened with drug-containing serum for 14 days, the Sox9, col agen Ⅱ, and col agen X mRNA and protein expression in Tougu Xiaotong Granule water extract group, Tougu Xiaotong Granule alcohol extract group, chondroinductive group, Tougu Xiaotong Granule water extract and chondroinductive group, Tougu Xiaotong Granule alcohol extract and chondroinductive group were significantly higher than that in saline serum group (P<0.05, P<0.01). In addition, the chondroinductive group, Tougu Xiaotong Granule water extract serum and chondroinductive group, Tougu Xiaotong Granule alcohol extract and chondroinductive group showed significantly higher expression levels than Tougu Xiaotong Granule water extract serum group, Tougu Xiaotong Granule alcohol extract group (P<0.01). Sox9 expression in Tougu Xiaotong Granule water extract serum and chondroinductive group were significantly higher than that in the chondroinductive group. Experimental findings indicate that, Tougu Xiaotong Granule containing serum can accelerate bone marrow stromal stem cel s differentiate into cartilage cel s by up-regulation of Sox9 expression.

Aim To explore the best way of calculating antihypertensive effect of nifedipine GITS on trough to peak ratio (T/PR), and smoothness index (SI) of the drug from ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (ABPM). Methods 32 cases of mild to moderate essential hypertension patients were enrolled and each was given 30 mg of nifedipine GITS once daily. ABPM was repeated for four weeks. ABPM data were analyzed statistically and T/PR calculated by both individual and whole group way. Results The casual blood pressure(CBP) and ABP were lowered by (24?12)/(12?8) mmHg and ( 14.5 ? 3.9 )/( 11.2 ? 3.0) mmHg .The T/PR by individual way was 0.65 ? 0.23 for SBP and 0.66 ? 0.25 for DBP, while by whole group way 0.62 for SBP and 0.68 for DBP. The smoothness index (SI), a new method for assessing the homogeneity of 24 hour blood pressure reduction by antihypertensive therapy, was 3.74 for SBP and 3.77 for DBP after treatment. Conclusion Nifedipine GITS lowers blood pressure effectively and smoothly for 24 hours long. Antihypertensive effects can be reflected by T/PR and SI.

Objective To investigate the early effect of medium-dose ionic irradiation on the expression of Fos protein in the rat brain. Methods Fos protein was observed in rat brains at times ranging from 24 hours to 4 weeks after hemispheric irradiation (single-fraction maximal dose of 20Gy) with the immunohistochemical technique. Results Compared with that of the un-radiated rats,the expression of Fos protein in the irradiated brain decreased distinctly 24 hours and 1 week after irradiation.However,the quantity of Fos immunopositive cells increased gradually afterwards.At four weeks after radiation,expression of Fos protein recovered progressively in medulla oblongata and pons,in which Fos immunopositive cells were more than those in control group.In contrast,expression level of Fos protein in mesencephalon,diencephalons or telencephalon was still less compared with that of the un-irradiated rats.Conclusion The result suggested that the neuronal activity might be inhibited in certain nuclei of the rat brain in early stages after hemisphere irradiation,and this inhibitory phenomenon was more obviously in higher neural centers.

Objectives To investigate the consumption of carbohydrate and distribution of dietary glycemic load (GL) in Chinese adults. Method Data from China National Nutrition and Health Survey in 2002 were used for this analysis. Dietary glycemic load was calculated as a function of glycemic index, carbohydrate content and frequency of intake of individual foods. Results Dietary glycemic load was contributed by 92% from cereals. People with low dietary GL /4184 kJ tended to consume more fat, less cereals, and less carbohydrates. The prevalence of overweight and obesity was higher in those with low GL/4184 kJ, especially in urban residents. Conclusion People with low GL/4184 kJ tend to consume more fat, less cereals, less carbohydrates. The situation in urban residents is more serious. Based on factors including cereals intake, energy contribution from fat and carbohydrates, prevalence of malnutrition, overweight and obesity. A proposed range for dietary GL /4184 kJ in Chinese adults can be 80~120.
