Objective:To study the relationship between the expression of TGF-? 1 and the formation and progression of experimental uric acid granulomas in rats.Methods:The formation and progression of granulomas in 30 cases of uric acid nephropathy,the expressions of protein and mRNA of TGF-? 1,moreover PCNA,?-SMA and collagen Ⅲ were investigated with ABC immunohistochemical staining and in situ hybridization techniques.Results:The mononuclear cells in granulomas and the injured renal tubular cells expressed TGF-? 1mRNA,and synthesized protein of TGF-? 1 and PCNA.In the late stage,the degree of the expression of TGF ? 1 and the deposition of collagen Ⅲ were in coincidence in granulomas.Conclusion:TGF-? 1 promotes the forming of granulomas by stimulating the proliferation in situ of mononuclear cells through autocrine and paracrine,and plays important roles in fibrosis of granulomas.

Objective To study the expression of CD44v6 and CD44s in bladder transitional cell carcinomas. Methods: The immunohistochemical staining of monoclonsl antibodies CD44v6 and CD44s were operated in 79 bladder transitional cell carinomas. Results (1) A strong expression of CD44v6 and CD44s were observed in atypical proliferation cells of bladder caricnoma in situ. (2) CD44v6 and CD44s expressed in recurrent I or Ⅱ grade transitional cell carcinomas were 90%(18/20) and 40%(8/20). (3) The positive expression rates of CD44v6 and CD44s were 43. 1%(31/72) and 13. 9%(10/72)in invasive transitional cell carcinomas; moreover, the expression of CD44v6 reduced with the poor differentiation and the deeply invasive growth of transitional eell carcinomas. Conclusion The investigation results suggested that CD44v6 played a role in the formation and recurrence of the bladder transitional cell carcinomas, but the reduced expression of CD44v6 probably related with the poor differentiation and invasive growth of the bladder transitional cell carcinomas.

Methods Magnetic sorting of splenic CD11c, CD4+ and CD8+ T cell from immunized mice with E.coli. LLO/OVA and E.coli. OVA vaccination were performed. In addition, the lymphocytes mixed reaction and IL-2 and IFN-? in the supernatant were detected. The percentage of OVA257-264 SIINFEKL specific CD8+ T cell were checked by flow cytometry. B16-OVA melanoma protection and inhibition response in E.coli. vaccinated mice were compared. Results Compared to E.coli. OVA, E.coli. LLO/OVA-vaccinated splenic CD11c cells stimulated proliferation of autogenic CD4+ T cells and IL-2 production of these cells. CD11c cells induced autogenic CD8+T cells proliferation and IFN-? secretion. A great number of OVA257-264 SIINFEKL-specific splenic CD8+ T cells were induced and the number of lung tumor nodules was significantly reduced in E.coli. LLO/OVA vaccinated mice. Conclusion Recombinant LLO, as an effective adjuvant of E.coli. OVA, can induce murine splenic CD11c cells activation and play potential roles on CD4+ and CD8+ T cells proliferation and IL-2 and IFN-? secretion of these cells, induce more OVA-specific CD8+ T cells and stimulate stronger tumor inhibition in vivo of vaccinated C57BL/6 mice.

Objectives To understand the control and prevention status of water-borne endemic fluorosis in Jiangxi Province, in order to provide a scientific basis for evaluate and perfect the strategies in control and prevention of the disease. Methods According to monitoring project of national water-borne endemic fluorosis, three villages were chosen to investigate the status and the fluoride content of fluorosis villages with water-improving and defluoridation projects in Yushui district and Ningdu county of Jiangxi Province. Investigation consisted of the status of dental fluorosis of children aged from 8 to 12 years and adult skeletal fluorosis, as well as fluoride content of drinking water and urinary fluorine. The standard detection methods of domestic drinking water was used for water fluoride content detection, fluoride selective electrode was chosen for urinary fluorine detection, Dean detection method was used to determine dental fluorosis, and diagnostic criteria of endemic skeletal fluorosis was chosen for diagnose of skeletal fluorosis. Results In fluorosis villages with water-improving and defluoridation projects which operated normally, the fluoride content of drinking water was lower than 1.00 mg/L. In fluorosis villages with water-improving and defluoridation projects which never operated normally, the average fluoride content of drinking water was 1.76 mg/L. The detection rate of dental fluorosis of children aged 8-12 years was 12.50%(22/176). A total of 294 adults were examined by X-ray, 3 adults were diagnosed as skeletal fluorosis, and the detection rate was 1.02%. A total of 294 adult urine samples were tested. The urinary fluoride content varied from 0.28 to 7.74 mg/L, and the geometric mean was 1.10 mg/L. Conclusions The illness condition of water-borne endemic fluorosis has been under control effectively. The maintenance of water-improving and defluoridation projects and surveillance were main tasks in control and prevention of the disease in the future.

Nucleotide binding oligomerization domain (NOD)-like receptor protein 3, NLRP3) inflammasomes regulate the secretion of caspase-1, interleukin-18 (IL-18), IL-1β, and other cytokines, and participates in aging. In recent years, it has been found that NLRP3 inflammasomes are abnormally activated in aging heart and vessels, and inhibition of NLRP3 inflammasomes can alleviate heart aging and vascular aging. This review summarizes the research of NLRP3 inflammasome in heart and vascular aging, and the related drugs to promote the discovery of the mechanism of NLRP3 inflammasome in heart and vascular aging and the development of related drugs.

Objective To study the synergistic effect of endostatin (YH-16) and irradiation on human non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) cell line A549 and the expression level of vascular endothefial growth factor. Methods ① A549 cells were exposed to various concentrations of endostatin for different time. The optimal concentration giving ≤20% inhibition concentration (IC20) by MTT assay was selected. ② The cells were divided into 4 groups:control group,chemotherapy alone,radiotherapy alone,and radio-chemotherapy group. All groups were exposed in distinct treatment,the cells survival fraction and the plating efficiency of the four groups provided to select the optimal radiotherapy dosage. ③ The radio-chemotherapy group had been exposed to endostatin for 48 hours,followed by irradiation at 48 hours with various doses:0,2,4,6,8 Gy. After 14 days,the cell clonogenic survival curves and the SER were evaluated. ④ Detect the different groups' VEGF value by ELISA kit. Results Incubating cells in 200 mg/L endostatin culture medium the value of SER radiated by linear accelerator in 2 Gy after 48 h were 1.61 and 1.04. And endostatin with proper dosage and radio-exposure time could decrease the VEGF level. Conlusion It is suggested that endostatin enhances the radiosensitivity of NSCLC A549 cell line in vitro (SER=1.61,1.04). The enhancement depends on the time of exposure drug. The optimal radiation time should be 48 hour after exposure.
