Objective To evaluate the relationship between protein kinase B (AKT) and protein kinase (PKCθ) and morphine-induced inhibition of differentiation of T helper (Th) cells.Methods Peripheral venous blood samples were taken from 20 healthy volunteers..Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were extracted by density gradient centrifugation method.CD4+ T lymphocytes extracted were purified by magnetic bead separation.CD4+ T lymphocytes were randomly assigned into 5 groups (n =3 each) using a random number table.CD4 + T lymphocytes were incubated routinely in group C.CD4 + T lymphocytes were incubated in the presence of PMA 25 ng/ml + ionomycin 1 μg/ml (group PI),PMA 25 ng/ml + ionomycin 1 μμg/ml + morphine 50 μμg/ml (group M),or PMA 25 ng/ml + ionomycin 1 μμg/ml + morphine 50 μg/ml + naloxone 50 μμg/ml (group N).The cells were incubated for 4 h in the incubator containing 5% CO2 at 37 ℃.The expression of interferon (IFN)-γ and interleukin-4 (IL-4) was detected by flow cytometry.The expression of IFN-γ and IL-4 was used to reflect the percentage of Th1 and Th2 cells,respectively.The ratio of Th1/Th2 was calculated.The expression of AKT,phosphorylated AKT (p-AKT),PKCθ and phosphorylated PKCθ (p-PKCθ) was detected by Western blot,and the ratio of p-AKT/AKT and p-PKCθ/PKCθ was calculated to reflect the activities of AKT and PKCθ,respectively.Results Compared with group C,the percentage of Th1 and Th2 cells and ratio of Th1/Th2 were significantly increased in PI,M and N groups,the activities of AKT and PKCθ were increased in PI and N groups,and the activity of PKCθ was increased in group M (P < 0.05).Compared with group PI,the percentage of Th1 cells,ratio of Th1/Th2 and activity of AKT were significantly decreased in group M,the ratio of Th1/Th2 was decreased in group N (P <0.05),and no significant change in the activity of PKCθ was found in M and N groups (P > 0.05).Compared with group M,the percentage of Th1 cells,ratio of Th1/Th2 and activity of AKT were significantly increased (P < 0.05),while no significant change in the activity of PKCθ was observed in group N (P > 0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which morphine inhibits the differentiation of Th cells through activating opioid receptors is related to inhibition of AKT activation,but not related to PKCθ.

4.Changes of pulmonary ?_1-and ?-adrenergic receptors during endotoxin-induced acute lung injury in rats
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1989;0(05):-
Changes of pulmonary ?_1-and ?-adrenergic receptor (?_1-AR and ?-AR)during endotoxin-induced acute lung injury in rates were oberved to find out the rela-tionship between them and the mechanism of change. Results showed that there was amarked decrease of B_max of both ?_1-AR and ?-AR by 35% and 43% respectively, dur-ing acute lung injury. The down regulation of ?-AR might be one of causes of acutelung injury while that of ?_1-AR seems to be a protective response. Active oxygen playedan important role in endotoxin-induced down regulation of AR in the rat lungs. The increa-sed level of norepinephrine and epinephrine was not the main factor that initiate the downregulation of AR. Intravenous injection of tumor necrosis factor (5?10~6U/kg ) exerts noiafluence on the changes of pulmonary AR in rats.

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 evaluate the effect of meglumine cyclic adenosine (MAC) on heart rate variability (HRV) in aged-patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).MethodsSeventy six aged-patients with CHD were randomly divided into control group (n =36) and treatment group (n =40).The patients in control group were treated with nitrate,ozagrel,calcium antagonist,aspirin enteric-coated tablets,low molecular heparin,angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor ( ACEI ) or angiotensin receptor antagonist ( ARB ) and lipidlowering agents according to patients' conditions.Based on this,the patients in treatment group were treated with MAC 90 mg intravenous injection once a day for two weeks.The 24 h dynamic electrocardiogram was recorded.pre-ard post-treatment,and the changes of HRV indexes were observed.Results There was no statistical significance in HRV between the two groups before treatment ( P > 0.05 ).However the HRV in two groups improved significantly after treatment ( P <0.01 ).The improvement of HRV was more significant in MAC group than that in control group (P <0.01 ).Conclusion MAC can significantly improve HRV in aged-patients with CHD.

Objective To observe the latency and amplitude characteristics of event-related potential P300 under different target stimu-lus. Methods During January to December, 2014, 35 patients with memory impairment received P300 test under the percentage of target stimuli of 0.10 and 0.25. The latency, amplitude and area under amplitude were compared. Results There was no significant difference in la-tency (t<0.256, P>0.800), but the amplitude and area under amplitude increased under 0.10 compared with those under 0.25 (t>4.259, P<0.05). Conclusion Less target stimulation may improve the patients' attention and increase amplitude of P300, but no more interference in la-tency, suggesting latency of P300 is more stable for assessment of cognitive function.

AIM:To investigate the effects of microRNA-193 (miR-193) on the proliferation and apoptosis of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs).METHODS:Cultured rat MSCs were transfected with pre-miR-193 or anti-miR-193 to regulate the expression of miR-193.The proliferation of the MSCs after transfection was evaluated by MTS assay, colorimetric BrdU cell proliferation assay and Ki-67 immunostaining.Cell apoptosis was analyzed by flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI staining.The effect of miR-193 on the expression of cell cycle-related proteins was evaluated by qRT-PCR.RESULTS:Transfection of pre-miR-193 or anti-miR-193 regulated the expression of miR-193 in MSCs effectively . Over-expression of miR-193 significantly promoted the proliferation of MSCs ( P<0.05 ) , and inhibition of miR-193 re-duced the proliferation of MSCs (P<0.05).miR-193 had no significant effect on the apoptosis of MSCs (P>0.05).The result of qRT-PCR indicated miR-193 promoted the expression of cyclin-dependent kinase 2 ( CDK2 ) significantly ( P<0.01).CONCLUSION:miR-193 promotes the proliferation of MSCs possibly through the CDK 2 pathway.
