OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical effects of pidotimod in the bronchial asthma complicated with recurrent re-spiratory tract infection,and its effects on immunoglobulin and related indexes. METHODS:A total of 120 bronchial asthma pa-tients with recurrent respiratory tract infection selected from our hospital during Mar. 2011-May 2013 were divided into trial group and control group according to random number table,with 60 cases in each group. Control group received routine corticosteroid therapy,and trial group was additionally given Pidotimod oral solution 0.4 g,po,bid,for 14 d,on the basis of control group. Clinical indexes(the times of respiratory infection,the duration of fever,cough,wheezing attack and antibiotics use),serum in-dexes [β-defensin-1(hBD-1),immunoglobulin A(IgA),IgG,IgM,UREA,ALT],the results of pharynx test before and after treatment,and the occurrence of ADR were observed in 2 groups. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical signifi-cance in clinical indexes,serum indexes,the results of pharynx test between 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,clinical indexes of trial group were significantly lower or shorter then before treatment or control group,while serum levels of hBD-1,IgA and IgG were significantly higher than before treatment or control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical sig-nificance in clinical indexes and serum indexes of control group,serum levels of IgM,UREA and ALT in trial group before and af-ter treatment(P>0.05). The types and number of pathogenic bacteria of respiratory tract infection were decreased significantly in 2 groups,and the trial group was significantly less then the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Pidotimod shows good clinical effects on bronchial asthma complicated with recurrent re-spiratory tract infection,can improve immunity and reduce the types and number of pathogenic bacteria with good safety.

ACKGROUND: Adriamycin (ADM) can specifically conjugate with receptor. In particular, ADM nanopartides play a target role in decreasing the cytotoxicity.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the targeting effect of addamycin nanoparticles conjugated with hyaluronic acid (ADM-HA-SSL) on oral squamous carcinomas calls in vitro.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An in vitro contrast observation was performed in College of Madne Life Science, Ocean University of China from January to July 2008. MATERIALS: Oral squamous carcinomas calls were sincerely presented by Professor Chen from the Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai; ADM-HA-SSL (drug loading 156 mg/L) was sincerely presented by Professor Liu from College of Marine Life Science, Ocean University of Chine.METHODS: Oral squamous carcinomas cells were cultured with 0.5, 1.0, 5.0, and 10.0 mg/L ADM-HA-SSL. MTT assay was used to detect the targeted cytotoxicity of ADM-HA-SSL against oral squamous cell carcinomas. With the concentrations of 5.0 and 10.0 mg/L, call apoptosis was ascertained by call flow cytometry after 6, 12, 24 and 48 hours. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Cell survival rate and apoptosis rate.RESULTS: At 24 and 48 hours after induction, cytotoxicity assay revealed that the effect of ADM-HA-SSL was superior to that of free ADM (t=5.78-42.05, P < 0.01). The results of flow cytometry showed that the apoptosis rate was enhanced with the increase of the time (F=4 200.40, 4 775.36, P < 0.01), and the rate was also increased at the same time point with the increase ofconcentration (t=12.06-20.08, P < 0.05).CONCLUSION: ADM-HA-SSL can specifically recognize oral squamous carcinomas cells and deliver adriamycin into the cells. And the effect is enhanced by the time prolonging.

Objective To study the paracrine effect of hypoxic preconditioned umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (UCMSCs) on the proliferation,migration and osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts.Methods UCMSCs were cultured under hypoxia and normal oxygen condition before two UCMSCs conditioned media were obtained.After that,MG-63 cells were cultured in three groups:hypoxia conditioned medium group,normoxia conditioned medium group and DMEM control group.The proliferation of MG-63 cells was detected by mosmann tetrazoline colorimetry( MTT) method after 1,3 and 5 days.The migratory ability of MG-63 cells was detected by scratch assay .After 21 days′culture , the formation of osteogenic calcium nodules was detected by Alizarin red staining.ELISA method was used to detect the content of vascular endothelial growth factor ( VEGF) in hypoxia and normoxia conditioned medium.Results The MTT test showed that the proliferation ability of MG-63 cells in hypoxia conditioned medium group and normoxia conditioned medium group was greater than in the DMEM control group.The difference was statistically significant ( P <0.05).Furthermore, the proliferation ability of cells in hypoxia conditioned medium group were much greater than cells in normoxia culture medium group.The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Scrath assay showed that the migratory ability of MG-63 cells in hypoxia conditioned medium group and normoxia conditioned medium group was greater than cells in DMEM control group,and cells in hypoxia conditioned medium group was much greater than cells in normoxia conditioned medium group. After 21 days′culture,we found that the number of calcium nodules was the largest in hypoxia conditioned medium group, followed by normoxia conditioned medium group and DMEM control group.ELISA showed that the content of VEGF in hypoxia conditioned medium was higher than that in normoxia conditioned medium and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01).Conclusion The paracrine function of UCMSCs can be enhanced by hypoxia,thus improving the proliferation,migration and osteogenic differentiation of osteoblasts.

Esophageal cancer is a unique malignant disease in China. A fundamental difference exists between the Chinese population and the western population on esophageal cancer in terms of epidemiology, histogenesis, and carcinogenic risk factors. Therefore, ap-plying the western academic achievements to Chinese is difficult. Thus, Chinese scientists have the responsibility to conquer esopha-geal cancer in China. This article reviews the progress of esophageal cancer focused on the molecular mechanism for interactions of ge-netic and environmental risk factors and human esophageal multistage carcinogenesis.

Objective To observe the learning and memory function of rats after heat stroke. Methods 60 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided randomly into heat stroke group (n=44), sham group (n=8) and control group (n=8). They were tested with the Morris Water Maze 7 days after modeling. The escaping latency was recorded in the first 5 days, and it was recorded with frequency crossing the platform area and the duration in the target quadrant after ridding the platform on the 6th day. Results 16 rats died in the heat stroke group after modeling. The escaping latency increased (P<0.05), and the cumulative duration in the target quadrant and the frequency of crossing the previous platform decreased (P<0.05) in the heat stroke group compared with the other groups. Conclusion The learning and memory ability is impaired after heat stroke in rats.
