We measured IgG and IgM ACA levels by a modified enzyme一linked immunosorbent as-say(ELISA) in 122 patients with brain infarction and 86 healthy controls. Significant difference in positiveIgG and IgM ACAs was found between the patients with infarction(50.8%)and the control group(11.6%).The relation between positive ACAs and brain infarction was studied. The pathogenetic mecha-nism remains unclear.

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 determine contact allergens and their clinical significance in patients with dermatitis or eczema in Wuxi city.MethodsPatch test was conducted in 1065 patients with a clinical diagnosis of dermatitis or eczema.A statistical analysis was carried out.Results Positive patch test reactions were observed in 83.19％ of the patients,with no statistical differences in the frequency of positive patch test reactions between female and male patients or between patients of different age groups.The most frequent 6 allergens were potassium dichromate,cobalt chloride,nickle sulfate,formaldehyde,carba mix and fragrance mix in these patients.Female patients showed a higher frequency of positive patch test reaction to nickle sulfate and formaldehyde,but a lower frequency to potassium dichromate and carba mix compared with male patients (all P＜ 0.01 ); young,middle-aged,and old patients exhibited an increased frequency of positive reaction to cobaly chloride compared with child patients,while young and middle-aged patients showed a decreased frequency to nickel sulfate compared with child patients (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Potassium dichromate,cobalt chloride,nickle sulfate,formaldehyde,carba mix and fragrance mix are the main allergens causing dermatitis and eczema in Wuxi city.

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.

Objective:To investigate the effect of poly (lactic acid)(PLA)electrospun membranes loaded with cisplatin and chloroquine on the oral squamous cell carcinoma CAL-27 cells,and to explore the method to prevent the recurrence of oral cancer.Methods: The DDP/PLA membranes, CQ/DDP/CQ/PLA membranes and CQ/DDP/PLA membranes were prepared by electrospinning.Then the micro morphology of three kinds of membranes were observed by scanning electron microscope (SEM);the degradation rate of PLA membrane was measuredby UV spectrophotometric.The LC3-Ⅱ expression level in CAL-27 cells was detected by laser scanning confocal microscope.The survival rate of CAL-27 cells was detected by MTT method.Results:The SEM results showed that the nanofibers of DDP/PLA,CQ/DDP/PLA and CQ/DDP/CQ/PLA membranes were continuous and smooth with uniform diameters.The degrated time of membranes was about 21 d.The MTT result showed that compared with control group,at first,the effects of cell killing of DDP/PLA membranes,CQ/DDP/CQ/PLA membranes and CQ/DDP/PLA membranes were not obvious;as the extension of time,the survival rates of CAL-27 cells in DDP/PLA membranes group,CQ/DDP/CQ/PLA membranes group and CQ/DDP/PLA membranes group were decreased (P <0.05).The immunofluorescence results showed that the fluorescence intensity of LC3-Ⅱ in CQ/DDP/CQ/PLA membranes group and CQ/DDP/PLA membranes group were lower than that in DDP/PLA membranes group.Conclusion:CQ/DDP/PLA membranes with sustained-release effect can increase the sensitivity of CAL-27 cells to DDP and enchance the killer effect of DDP on the CAL-27 cells.

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 study the efficacy and safety of estradiol and drospirenone tablets (Angeliq)in treatment of menopausal symptoms among postmenopausal Chinese healthy women.Methods Total 244 postmenopausal Chinese healthy women who had moderate to severe hot flushes were randomly assigned for 16 weeks in this randomized multi-center double-blind placebo-controlled study.During the trial.the follow-up visits were conducted at week 4,8,12,16 of treatment and 2 weeks after treatment respectively.Height,weight,vital signs,hot flushes,other relevant menopausal symptoms and vaginal bleeding were observed in each follow-up visit,while the clinical global impression scale Was assessed at 16 weeks as well.Results It showed that hot flushes were reduced significantly more in observation group than that in placebo group ( P＜0.01 ), although both treatments were effective. The absolute values of mean severity index of total hot flushes decreased by - 0. 6± 0. 5 in observation group and - 0. 4 ± 0. 4 in placebo group from baseline respectively, which reached significant difference ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). However, the absolute values of mean severity index of moderate to severe hot flushes decreased by - 0. 6± 0. 8 in observation group and -0. 3± 0.6 in placebo group from baseline respectively, which had no significant difference (P ＞ 0. 05 ).After 16 weeks treatment, it also showed that estradiol and drospirenone had significant better efficacy than placebo on moderate to severe sweating, vaginal dryness and clinical global impression scale (P ＜0. 01 ).During the trial, blood pressure in observation group was stable. The rate of vaginal bleeding in observation group was higher than that in the placebo group, especially during the week 4 to week 8 when 48. 9% (87/178) in observation group and 10. 7% (6/56) in placebo group of patients bled. Although the cumulative amenorrhea rate of observation group was lower than that of placebo group in each cycle (28 days), it increased gradually along with duration of the treatment. The commonest adverse event in observation group was breast tenderness which accounted for 12.0% (22/183 ). The level of serum potassium was in the normal range in observation group mostly. Meanwhile, the other adverse events rate was low. Serious adverse events reported in this trial were assessed as not study drug related or as unlikely study drug related. Conclusion Estradiol and drospirenone tablets which could effectively alleviate menopausal symptoms in postmeuopausal Chinese healthy women is a novel hormone replacement therapy regimen with high safety and efficacy.
