Chinese Journal of Information on Traditional Chinese Medicine 2006;0(05):-
Objective To investigate the effect of Tetramethyl Pyrazine(TMP) for treating cerebral infarct by observing infarct areas,and to research its function mechanism by observing the changes of the expressions of ED1,TNF-? and IL-1? in the infarction region after focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury.Methods Sixty SD male rats in healthy condition were randomly and averagely divided into normal group,model group and TMP high,middle and low dose group.The cerebral infarct animal model was reproduced by modified thread-tie method.TMP high dose group was administered TMP 140 mg/kg,middle dose group was 120 mg/kg and low dose group was 100 mg/kg by intravenous.Then all the rats were killed.Thirty rats were taken to evaluate whether TMP can decrease the ratio of cerebral infarction areas in the TTC-reacting and formalin fixation brain tissue slices taken from the above-mentioned killed rats,with Pathology Image Analysis System.The masculine of ED1,IL-1? and TNF-? in the immuno-reacting cells in cerebral infarction brain tissue slice taken from other thirty killed rats were observed.Results TMP groups decreased the ratio of cerebral infarction areas,and also decreased ED1,TNF-? and IL-1? in immuno-reacting cell.Conclusion TMP can decrease the formation of cerebral infarction caused by cerebral ischemia reperfusion and its effect is possibly related to the activation of microglia,as well as the immuno-positive expressions of TNF-? and IL-1?.

Medical Journal of Chinese People's Liberation Army 2017;42(8):749-752
Autoimmune disease is a condition arisen from an abnormal immune response to the tissue cells itself, its precise mechanism remains unknown, and the failure to distinguish self from non-self is often termed a breach of tolerance and is the basis for autoimmune illness. The tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) induced protein 8 like-2 (TIPE2) is a newly discovered member of TNF-α induced protein 8 (TNFAIP8) family which is an essential negative controller of both innate and adaptive immunity. It has been documented that marked expressions of TIPE2 are evident in various autoimmune diseases, including autoimmune hepatitis (AIH), primary biliary cirrhosis (PBC), myasthenia gravis (MG) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), which appear to be closely related to the severity, progression as well as prognosis of the illness, thereby contribute to the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Deficient expression of TIPE2 might contribute to the hyper-reactivity of auto-reactive lymphocytes and macrophages, or aggregate inflammatory reaction by prompting high concentration of pro-inflammatory cytokines in peripheral blood, thus, trigger the development and progression of autoimmune diseases. In addition, dysregulation of immune homeostasis could be another latent target involved into the mechanism of autoimmune diseases. The present paper summarized the potential role and its mechanism of TIPE2 in the development of autoimmune diseases.
5.Application of VEGFR in tumor ultrasound molecular imaging
Tianjin Medical Journal 2017;45(9):998-1001
Ultrasound molecular imaging has become one of the hotspots of molecular imaging because of its advantages of non-invasion, non-radiation, repeatability and real-time dynamic imaging. The key of imaging is to select the appropriate target and ligand to bind to the ultrasound contrast agent. The formation of blood vessels in the development of tumor is a significant feature. Vascular endothelial growth factor receptor (VEGFR) is an important specific molecule on tumor vascular endothelial cells, and which can be used as a target for tumor ultrasound imaging. In recent years, many scholars have carried out related studies on the imaging of ultrasound molecules targeting VEGFR. This paper reviewed the mechanism and application of tumor ultrasound molecular imaging with VEGFR as target in recent years.
6.Important role of interleukin-35 in infectious diseases and its significance
Chinese Critical Care Medicine 2017;29(9):848-852
Infectious diseases are resulted from the invasion of an organism's body tissues by multiple disease-causing agents. It has been demonstrated that the occurrence and development of infectious diseases are closely associated with the functional status of immune system. Cytokines play significant roles in modulating the host immune response to the clearance of pathogenic microorganisms and maintaining immune homeostasis. Interleukin-35 (IL-35), as a newly identified member of IL-12 family, exerts suppressive effect on immune response by means of a specific pattern. With the progress of research in recent years, IL-35 might serve as an essential contributor in the immunopathogensis of vast infectious diseases, including hepatitis B, sepsis, tuberculosis and parasite infection, which simultaneously appear to be closely related to the severity, progression as well as prognosis of the illness. Apparently, IL-35 is regarded as a potent and promising anti-inflammatory cytokine in clinical application; its potential value may shed light on the therapeutic strategies for infectious diseases. Herein, we mainly review the potential role and its mechanism of IL-35 in the pathogenesis of infectious diseases.

Objective To investigate the effects of electrical stimulation on the differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to cardiomyocyte induced by 5-azacytidine in vitro. Methods MSCs from Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were cultured and passed repeatedly to P3. MSCs were treated with 5-azacytidine (10 ?mol/L) and incubated for 24 h.The induced MSCs were divided to stimulated group and non-stimulated group, and every groups divided by incubated for 1,2,3 and 4 weeks were named as subgroup Ⅰ,Ⅱ, Ⅲ and Ⅳ respectively.MSCs of stimulated group were stimulated for 30 min every day by supra-threshold square biphasic pulses (2 ms duration, 1.5 Hz, 20 ?A), and the stimulation was initiated 1 d after inducing. Light and electronic microscope were used to identify the influences of characteristic morphological of MSCs in every subgroups,and immunocytochemistry was used to identify the expression of ?-actin,cTnT, Cx43 in MSCs. Results The growth of MSCs in stimulated group was better than that of non-stimulated group. MSCs of stimulated group exhibited differentiation into cardiomyocyte-like cell at 1 week after inducing, earlier than that of no-stimulated group (2 weeks). In stimulated subgroup Ⅰ, scattered myogenic structure was observed in the plasma of some cells under electronic microscope, and ?-actin,cTnT expressed in some cells, but not that be observed in non-stimulated subgroup Ⅰ. In cells of stimulated subgroups Ⅱ to Ⅳ, the expression level of ?-actin, cTnT, Cx43 of were all higher than that of non-stimulated subgroups respectively. Conclusion Electrical stimulation (simulating the heart beating) could redound differentiation of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) to cardiomyocyte induced by 5-azacytidine in vitro.

Objective To explore the clonality of the T cells and the role of cellular immunological pathogenesis in chronic asymptomatic HBV carriers (AsC) by TCR CDR3 size spectratyping and determining sequence. Methods The TCR CDR3 region genes of 24 BV families were amplified by utilizing inverse polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) technology, and the CDR3 size lengths of T cell receptor (TCR) ?-chain were analyzed with Genescan technology for 4 healthy individuals and 9 AsCs. The clonality of T cells presumed by spectratyping was further confirmed by CDR3 sequencing. Results The CDR3 repertoire of 4 healthy individuals showed Gaussian distribution. The clonal expansions of T cell were observed in 8 out of 9 AsCs. The expanded T cells have different CDR3 sequences. Conclusion There is significantly clonal expansion in the compartment of the peripheral blood T lymphocyte in AsCs. The expanded T cells do not have homogenicity.

Objective: To investigate the effect of helper T cells (Th1 and Th2) and its important significance in judging prognosis of patients with advanced lung cancer. Methods: Interferon-? (INF-?) and interleukin-4 (IL-4) in plasma and pleural effusion were detected by enzyme-linked immunoassay in patients with advanced lung cancer, IFN-? and IL-4 reflected activity of Thl and Th2 respectively. Results: The activity of Th1 in patients with advanced lung cancer was lower than that in normal persons in peripheral blood. For non-outstanding curative effect or progressive state of illness, the activity of Thl in patients of above 1 year survival time decreased in post-treatment than in pretreatment, the activity of Th2 increased in post-treatment. Conclusion: Activity of Helper T cells ( Th1, Th2 ) could be an important marker to diagnose lung cancer and judge prognosis in patients with advanced lung cancer.
