Objective To compare respiratory syncytial virus(RSV)infection and inflammatory responses between immunocompetent BALB/c mice and immanodeficient nude mice.Methods At various time points after BSV infection of BALB/c mice and nude mice,pulmonary viral titers were assayed.Leukocvtes in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)and pulmonary histology were identified.F4/80+cells and CD49b+cells in lung tissue were examined by immunohistochemistry,and the cytokines of TNF-α,IL-12,IFN-r and IL-10 in BALF were assayed by ELISA.Results RSV titers in infected BALB/c mice and nude mice peaked on the 3rd day postinoculation,and nude mice had higher-level and more durative viral replication than BALB/c mice.RSV infection induced more severe pulmonary histopathology and larger number of leukocytes in airway in nude mice than in BALB/c mice.RSV infection enhanced more pulmonary F4/80+macrophages,CD49b+ NK cells in both mice.Furthermore infected nude mice had larger amount of pulmonary macrophages and NK cells than infected BALB/c mice.RSV infected BALB/c mice secreted more TNF-α,IL-12,IFN-r and IL-10 as compared with control BALB/c mice,and infected nude mice had hisher level of TNF-α.IL-12 and IL-10 than infected BALB/c mice.Conclusion Nude mice are good model for severe and pemistent RSV infection in immunocomprised hosts.The inflammation induced by RSV infection is not parallel with the immune response of T cells,and macrophages and NK cells are potent immunocytes and inflammatory cells in RSV infection especially when T lymphocytes are absent.

Aim To investigate whether chronically un-predictable stress (CUS)-induced depression-like be-haviors of rats is associated with the variant expression of tryptophan hydroxylase (TPH)and tyrosine hydrox-ylase (TH).Methods 30 male SD rats were ran-domly divided into depression model group(MG)and control group (CG),the former was established using CUS plus solitary condition for 28 d,whereas the latter was fed normally as five rats per cage without CUS. The open field test(OFT)and the sucrose preference test were used to evaluate depressive behaviors.Both mRNA and protein expressions of TPH and TH in hip-pocampus and forebrain cortex were determined by re-al-time fluorescent quantitative PCR and western blot (WB),respectively.Results MG rats showed obvi-ous depressive behaviors with much lower locomotive activity and sucrose preference than CG.Meanwhile, the mRNA and protein expressions of TPH and TH also significantly decreased in MG rats,compared with CG rats.Conclusion The depression behaviors of rats in-duced by CUS may be associated with down-regulation of TPH and TH expression.

Objective To investigate the role of Huang-qi in balance of TH1/TH2 in asthma on dendritic cells level. Methods DCs from human peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC) were induced by rhGM-CSF and rhIL-4, and then were identified. The level of IL-12 and IL-10 produced by DCs were de-tected by ELISA assay. After autoreactive T cells, mRNA of T-bet and GATA-3 was measured by RT-PCR. Simultaneously, IL-4 and IFN-γ were determined by flow cytometer. Results After 7 days culture, IL-12 was significantly decreased in asthma group compared to control group (P < 0.01), whereas IL-10 on the opposite. At the 7th day of co-culture with T cells derived from floating cells, the IFN-γ/and T-bet mRNA level in asthma group were significantly decreased than that in control group, whereas IL-4, GATA-3 mRNA level, the ratio of IL-4/IFN-γ and GATA-3/T-bet were apparently increased in asthma group than that in control group(P<0.01). After Huang-qi treatment, the IFN-γ/and T-bet mRNA level were significantly in-creased, whereas the ratio of IL-4/IFN-γ and GATA-3/T-bet, and the IL-10 level were apparently de-creased, but the level of IL-12, IL-4 and GATA-3 mRNA were not changed significantly. Conclusion DCs in asthma regulated the balance of TH1/TH2 by means of secreting decreased IL-12 and increased IL-10, that made TH2 playing a dominance role which is the key factor in initiating asthma. Huang-qi regulated DCs through decreasing the level of IL-10, and thus decreased the ability of inhibiting the differentiation of TH1 from TH0, that is also inhibiting the differentiation of TH2 from TH0 directly.

Objective To investigate tissue distribution of Hylotelephin in Beagle dogs and excretion of Hylotelephin in rats. Methods A high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) with UV detection was developed to study the concentrations of Hylotelephin in biological samples, taking anthracene as an internal standard, Benzoyl chloride as the pre-column derivatization of Hylotelephin and methanol-water as the mobile phase. Results After a single intravenous dose of 10.6 mg/kg Hylotelephin in beagle dogs, parent drug was widely distributed to virtually all tissues in 5 min and the concentration of Hylotelephin in most tissues at 90 min were lower than those at 5 min obviously. Hylotelephin was mainly distributed in kidney, liver and spleen, secondly in heart, lung and intestine. The parent drug concentration in kidney, liver and spleen was similar to that in blood at the same time point. After a single intravenous dose of 36 mg/kg Hylotelephin in rats, the excretion of the parent drug in urine, feces and bile amounted to 88.45%, 0.61% and 1.08% of the dose, respectively. The parent drug excretion amounted to 67% of the dose in 3 h. Conclusion Hylotelephin was distributed and eliminated in Beagle dogs rapidly. It was mostly distributed in kidney, liver, spleen and plasma. The parent drug excretion was 88% via urine.

AIM: To explore method of stimulating murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells by lipopolysaccharide(LPS), transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1)and to study their biological character. METHODS: Murine bone marrow-derived dendritic cells were cultivated with cytokine GM-CSF and IL-4 for 6 days, BMDC was stimulated by control, LPS, TGF-β1, LPS +TGF-β1 for 48 hours respectively. Morphological characters of BMDC were observed by a inversed microscope, surface molecules such as CD_(11C), CD_(80), CD_(86)and MHC Ⅱ were detected by flowcytometry, Interleukin-6 and interleukin-12 p70 in co-culture medium was quantified by ELISA. RESULTS: In LPS group it presented the most typical DC morphology with the highest expression of CD_(80), CD_(86) and MHC Ⅱ, the strongest ability in mixed lymphocyte reaction, higher level of IL-6 and IL-12 p70 compared with control, TGF-β1, LPS + TGF-β1 ( P < 0. 05). While in TGF-β1 group it presented the less typical DC morphology with the lower expression of CD_(80), CD_(86), MHC Ⅱ, weaker ability in mixed lymphocyte reaction, and lower levels of IL-6 and IL-12 p70 compared with control and LPS (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION: LPS can stimulate maturation of BMDC in its late differentiation which makes it presents a more significant biological characteristics. TGF-β1 can inhibit maturation but not differentiation of BMDC thereby can prevent its biological characteristic presentation.
