Objective To evaluate the relationship between GATA-3 and T-bet and inhibition of the differentiation of human T helper cells by morphine.Methods Ten healthy volunteers,aged 20-50 yr,weighing 50-70 kg,were enrolled in the study.Peripheral venous blood samples were taken in the early morning.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated and assigned into 5 groups (n=10 each).PBMCs were incubated routinely (group C).PBMCs were incubated in the presence of PMA and ionomycin (group P),morphine 50 μg/ml (group M),morphine 50 μg/ml + naloxone 50 μg/ml (group MN) or naloxone 50μg/ml (group N),and were then stimulated with PMA and ionomycin for another 4 h.The percentage of Th1 and Th2 cells was detected by flow cytometry.The Th1/Th2 ratio was calculated.Interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin (IL)-4 concentrations in the supematant were determined using ELISA.The activities of GATA-3 and T-bet were analyzed by EMSA.Results Compared with group P,the percentage of Th1 and Th2 cells,Th1/Th2 ratio,IFN-γand IL-4 concentrations in the supernatant,and GATA-3 and T-bet activities were significantly decreased in group M,the percentage of Th1 cells,Th1/Th2 ratio,and IFN-γ concentration in the supernatant were significantly decreased in group MN (P < 0.05 or 0.01).Compared with group M,the percentage of Th1 and Th2 cells,Th1/Th2 ratio,IFN-γ and IL-4 concentrations in the supernatant,and GATA-3 and T-bet activities were significantly increased in group MN (P < 0.05 or 0.01).There was no significant difference in the indexes mentioned above between groups N and C (P > 0.05).Conclusion Morphine inhibits the differentiation of human T helper cells by activating opioid receptors,which may be related to the inhibition of GATA-3 and T-bet activities.

Objective To investigate the effects of intensive insulin therapy on the functions of vascullar endothelial cells in septic patients. Methods One hundred and twenty septic patients were randomly assigned to intensive insulin therapy 1 ,intensive insulin therapy 2 and conventional insulin therapy, serum von Willebrand factor (vWF),thrombomodulin protein(TM),endothelin-1 (ET-1) and nitric oxide(NO) of the three groups of patients were determined by enzyme-linked immunoadsorbent assay double antibody sandwich principle (ELISA) before treatment and the next 3 d,7 d after treatment. At the same time we observed the three groups of patients with 28-d mortality, the days of hospitalized in ICU, number of days for using mechanical ventilation, △ APACHE Ⅱ score and △MODS score. Results After treatment of 3 days,vWF was (142.57 ± 10.07)%, (137.32 ±9.66)% and (138. 32 ± 8. 80) % in the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 7 days, vWF was (126.27 ±10.49) %, (116. 55 ± 9. 36) % and (120.72 ± 9. 53) % in the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 3 days, TM was (6. 87 ± 1.62) μg/L, (5.95 ± 1.60) μg/L and (6. 17 ± 1.33) μg/L in the CIT, IIT1and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 7 days, TM was (4. 55 ± 1.48) μg/L, (3.35 ± 0.94) μg/L and(3. 87 ± 1.20) μg/L in the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 3 days, ET-1 was (61.27 ±9. 20) ng/L, (55.97 ± 9.03) ng/L and (57. 37 ± 7. 70) ng/L in the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 group, respectively. After treatment of 7 days, TM was (43. 12 ± 6. 17) ng/L, (33.77 ± 6. 20) ng/L and (35.95 ± 5.73) ng/L in the CIT, IIT1and IIT2 group, respectively. Compared with conventional insulin therapy, vWF, TM and ET-1 were significantly decreased (P < 0.05), NO were significantly higher (P < 0.05) in IIT1 and IIT2, but the two sub-groups had no significant difference (P > 0.05). In the CIT, IIT1 and IIT2 groups respectively, the mortality at 28 days were 20.0%, 12. 5 % and 45.0%, the days of hospitalized in ICU were (9.50 ± 3. 70) d, (7. 72 ± 3.29) d and (8.02 ±2. 90) d, number of day for using mechanical ventilation were (8. 92 ± 3.79) d, (7.23 ± 3. 32) d and (7. 37 ±3. 29) d, △ APACHE Ⅱ score were 8. 87 ± 3.46,7. 20 ± 2. 81 and 7.42 ± 3. 18, △ MODS score were 4. 15 ± 2. 15,3.20 ± 1.48 and 3.32 ± 1.74, with significant differences (P < 0.05). These indices were significantly decreased (P < 0.05) in IIT1 and IIT2, but the two sub-groups also had no significant differences (P > 0.05). Conclusions Intensive insulin therapy on patients with sepsis has a protective effect of vascular endothelial cells, and the blood glucose controlled in the 6. 6 - 8. 3 mmol/L can significantly decrease the incidence of hypoglycemia, and intensive insulin therapy can also significantly improve the prognosis of patients with sepsis.

To study the dynamic process of myocardial uptake of thiopentai in the isolated rabbit hearts. Method: Thiopental at doses of 500?mol, 1500?mol and 500?mol was given sequentially to the perfused rabbit heart in a total time of 15 min. The outflow concentration of thiopental was measured with high performance liquid chromatography and the left ventricular +dp/dtmax served as a effective parameter. Resuh: The disposition and elimination of thiopental can be best described hy a two-compartment open model. It can disposed into myocardium rapidly (T_(1/2)?=0.5?0.1 min), but elimination was relatively slow (T_(1/2)?=25.3?10.1 min). The transfer rate was slower from peripheral to central compartment than from central to peripheral compartment. The tbeoritical maximum depressant effect of thiopental on + dp/dt (Emax) was 19.0 4-11.2 kPa.s~(-1) corresponding to 1/10 E_0. Conclusion: The myocardial uptake of thiopental can be fitted to a two-compartment open model with rapid disposition and relative slow elimination process.

objective: To develop injectable tissue engineered bone through injection of osteoblasts/alginate composite in rabbits. Methods: Bone marrow cells isolated from iliac bone of New Zealand rabbits were cultured and induced to differentiate into osteoblasts.The osteoblasts were mixed with 25 g/L sodium alginate solution to generate osteoblasts/alginate composite with final cellular density of 5?10 6/ml. 0.17 g of sterilized CaSO 4 powder was then added to 2 ml osteoblasts/alginate. The mixture was injected into the dorsal subcutaneous tissue at left side of 6 New Zealand rabbits. The alginate composite without osteoblasts was injected into the right side as the control. 4 and 8 weeks after implantation, the bone formation was evaluated by means of gross, X ray and histological observation. Results: 4 weeks after implantation, cartilage formation was observed and 8 weeks after implantation,new mature bone was observed in the osteoblasts/alginate composites. No new bone formation was observed in all of the control specimens. Conclusion: Calcium alginate can be used as a carrier in injectable bone tissue engineering, and new bone can be created through injection of osteoblasts/alginate composites in immune animals.
