In order to explore the clinical hypolipidemic features of Daidai flavone extract, the pharmacokinetics features of characteristic active ingredients of Daidai flavone extract in normal and hyperlipemia rats were studied and compared. The study established the quantitative determination method of naringin and neohesperidin in plasma by UPLC-MS. Study compared the pharmacokinetics differences of naringin and noehesperidin in normal and hyperlipemia rats on the basis of establishment of hyperlipemia model. Results indicated that the pharmacokinetics features of characteristic active ingredients of Daidai flavone extract in normal and hyperlipemia rats showed significant differences. The C(max) of naringin and neohesperidin in hyperlipemia rats plasma after oral administration of Daidai flavone extract increased obviously, while t1/2, MRT and AUC0-24 h decreased, compared to normal rats. But t(max) showed no differences to that of normal rats. The results further proved Daidai flavone extract would have better hypolipidemic effect in the hyperlipemia pathological status. And the characteristic active ingredients naringin and noehesperidin were the material base of Daidai flavone extract to express the hypolipidemic effect.

In this study, we investigated the pharmacokinetics parameters of SPIO-shRNA dual functional molecular probe and observed the main organ distribution by MRI in vivo. Eighteen New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into three groups and injected intravenously with different doses of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe, respectively. The blood samples were collected to analyze the pharmacokinetic parameters by measuring the iron content at 30 minutes before and after the injection. Twenty-four Kun Ming (KM) mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: the control group was injected intravenously with physiological saline 200 µL per mouse via the tail vein, the other 3 groups were injected intravenously with different doses of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe. MRI observation was performed in 24 hours, and the liver, spleen, kidney, brain and muscle were collected for iron quantification with Prussian blue staining to determine distribution of the SPIO-shRNA molecular probe in the main organ in vivo. Our results suggest that the molecular probe blood half-life is more than 3 hours. The data of MRI suggest the probe was distributed in liver and spleen, and the MRI signal was reduced with the increase in probe's doses (P < 0.05). The results of Prussian blue staining confirmed the results of MRI. Most of the probe could escape the phagocytosis of mononuclear phagocyte system. Our data provide the pharmacokinetic and distribution of SPIO-shRNA molecular probe in organs. Meanwhile, it suggests the choice of the time and dose of probe for MR imaging of tumor in vivo.

Objective To compare the foreign gene-specific and vector-specific immune responses in BALB/c mice immunized with rAd5 or rAAV2/1 expressing the same gene.Methods BALB/c mice were immunized with rAd5-gag or rAAV2/1-gag once,HIV-1 Gag-specific and vector- specific cellular immune responses were analyzed by Elispot assay,HIV-1 P24-specifc IgG and vector-specific IgG were tested by ELISA assay.Results Mice immunized with rAd5-gag induced potent Gag-specific cellular immune responses and that were significantly higher than Ad5-specfic cellular responses,while rAAV2/1-gag elicited weak Gag-specific and AAV2/1-specific cellular responses.Both P24-specific and Ad5-specific IgG titers induced by rAd5-gag were high and in similar level.Higher level of P24-specific IgG was found in mice inoculated with rAAV2/1-gag than rAd5-gag.And the P24-specific IgG titers were higher than the vectorspecific IgG titers in mice immunized with rAAV2/1.Conclusion rAd5 could elicit strong foreign genespecific cellular and humoral immune responses,weak vector-specific cellular responses and strong vectorspecific antibodies,rAAV2/1 could induce potent foreign gene-specific antibodies that were much higher than vector-specific IgG,while both foreign gene-specific and vector-specific cellular responses were very low.

OBJECTIVETo investigate miR- 125b regulation mechanism by identifying miR-125b target genes and its function in acute myeloid leukemia (AML).

METHODSThe bioinformatics software and database were applied to predict and analyze target genes of miR-125b. The vector contained the target gene 3'-UTR portion cloned into a luciferase reporter construct. A luciferase reporter assay was performed following co-transfection of small molecular miR-125b mimics and target gene wild-type or mutant plasmid into HEK-293T cells. Further in leukemia cell lines NB4 and HL-60, the protein level of target gene was measured by Western blot after overexpression miR-125b. Finally, the viabilities of NB4 and HL-60 cells were measured by CCK-8 assay at 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 96 h after electroporation.

RESULTSBcl-2-antagonist/killer 1 (Bak1), a pro-apoptotic gene, was a target gene of miR-125b by software predicts. Reporter vector containing the 3'-UTR Bak1 wild and mutation sites were co-transfected with small molecule analogues of miR-125b in HEK-293T cells. Dual luciferase reporter gene assay system showed that miR-125b significantly suppresses the reporter gene activity containing Bak1 3'-UTR by about 53.8% (P<0.05), but it didn't suppresses the reporter gene activity containing 3'-UTR Bak1 mutation. Western blot showed that miR-125b mimics significantly down-regulated the expression of Bak1 in human leukemia cell lines NB4 and HL-60. Meanwhile, the growth rate of cells treated with miR-125b obviously increased compared with that in control by CCK-8 test (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONOur findings strongly indicated that BAK1 was a downstream target gene of miR-125b, and miR-125b promoted proliferation in human AML cells at least partially by targeting Bak1, so we speculated that miR-125b as an oncogene could be a potential therapeutic target for treating AML.

OBJECTIVETo explore the role of inflammatory reaction mediated by p38-mitogen activated protein kinase (p38-MAPK) signal path on prevention and treatment of Parkinson disease (PD) model rats by electroacupuncture (EA).

METHODSThirty-two healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into a normal group, a sham operation group, a model group and an EA group, eight rats in each one. The PD model was established in the model group and EA group by subcutaneous injection of rotenone in skin-back area (2 mg/kg, dissolved in sunflower oil, 2 mg/mL in density), while the injection of sunflower oil emulsion without rotenone at the same point and quantity as the model group was applied in the sham operation group. The normal group was not given any intervention. The EA treatment (continuous wave, 2 Hz in frequency, 1 mA in intensity, 20 min) was applied at "Fengfu" (GV 16) and "Taichong" (LR 3) in the EA group, once a day for continuously 14 days. No treatment was given in the other groups. The expression of tyrosine hydroxylase (TH), phosphorylated p38-MAPK, cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) in the substantia nigra were detected with immunohistochemical method.

RESULTSThere was typical PD ethology change in the model group. Compared with the normal group and sham operation group, the expression of TH positive neuron in the substantia nigra in the model group was significantly decreased, while the expression of phosphorylated p38-MAPK and COX-2 were significantly increased (all P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, the expression of TH positive neuron in the EA group was apparently increased, while the expression of phosphorylated p38-MAPK and COX-2 were significantly decreased (all P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONThe EA therapy could obviously reduce the expression of inflammation mediator COX-2, inhibit the phosphorylation of p38-MAPK, reduce the damage of dopaminergic neurons in the rats with PD, and this effect may be related with the impact of p38-MAPK signal path

A prokaryotic expression plasmid containing VIP (vasoactive intestinal peptide) and sTNFRII(soluble tumor necrosis factor receptor II ) genes was constructed. The sTNFRII was cloned by PCR by using special primers which contained VIP gene ORF and a linker in its forward primer. The amplified fragment was inserted into the expression vector pET32a between BamHI and Hind III restriction sites. Transformed E.coli DH5 by pET32a-VIP- sTNFRIIexpressed the fusion protein. After being identified, the protein was purified by ion exchange chromatography and by hydrophobic interaction chromatography. The reconstructed protein showed high bio-activity and could be applied for further use.

Objective To study the effects of health education concerning transient ischemic attack (TIA) knowledge on improving compliance of patients and how it affect therapy. Methods Ninety patients with transient ischemic attack were divided into the experiment group (n = 45) and the control group (n =45) at random. The experiment group performed health education intervention including providing health education manual, carrying out the individual education, group education and random education while the control group wag given ordinary medical advice only. Results The knowledge about transient ischemic attack mastered by patients in two groups was different. T 和 experiment group was higher than the control group (P < 0. 05). TIA seizure frequency in the experiment group was lower than that in the control group (P <0. 05). Conclusions Health education can enhance disease-related knowledge and improve the compliance for patients with TIA, so as to prevent the recrudesce of TIA.

Objective To observe the level of anti-adenovirus neutralizing antibodies and Gagspecific cellular immune responses in Macaca fascicularis immunized with different dosage of recombinant adenovirus vaccine Ad5-HIVgag by repeated intramuscular injection.Methods The Macaca fascicularis were randomly divided into four groups of 6.Different amount of the purified Ad5-HIVgag(0.99 × 1011 VP,4.94 × 1011 VP,24.68 × 1011 VP) or PBS were administered in 3 weeks interval and five times.The level of anti-adenovims neutralizing antibodies and Gag-specific cellular immune responses at different time points were detected by neutralization assay and Elispot assay respectively.Results High level of anti-adenovirus neutralizing antibodies could be detected in three groups immunized with Ad5-HIVgag at 3 weeks after first immunization.The neutralizing antibodies reached peak at 8 weeks after primary immunization,and declined slightly at late time.Significant HIV-1 Gag-specific cellular immune responses were detected in all Ad5-HIVgag immunized groups at 5 weeks post first immunization.The Gag-specific cellular immune responses declined at 12 weeks and then increased with time.Conclusion Anti-adenovirus neutralizing antibodies could be induced in Macaca fascicularis immunized with Ad5-HIVgag by repeated intramuscular injection.And the Gag-specific cellular immune responses tended to increase with the injection times.The presence of anti-adenovirus neutralizing antibodies induced by vaccination with adenovirus vectors in Ad5-naive animals did not further reduce Gag-specific cellular immune responses.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological pattern of Borna disease virus (BDV)infection in horses and to analyze the phylogenetic tree of derived BDV in Yili, Xinjiang. Methods We established a modified nested RT-PCR (nRT-PCR) to detect BDV p24 segment in peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) and brain tissues of 120 horses in Yili, Xinjiang. Positive products were analyzed by sequencing and homology analysis. Results The positive rate of BDV infection was 2.5% in both PMBCs and brain tissues at the same time. The gene sequence revealed in positive PCR samples was more than 93 % ,identical to that of BDV derived from horses in other countries. We also noticed a high degree of identity ( >98 % ) to standard strain He/80 in gene sequence of positive PCR samples. Conclusion Our study found the presence of BDV natural infection in horses in Yili. The endemic BDV had a high degree of identity to standard strain He/80.
