Objective To observe the expressions of the chemokine receptor CXCR3 and its ligand IFN-?-inducible protein-10(IP-10) in lung tissue of asthmatic model mice and to explore further the effect of dexamethasone(DEX)and bacillus Calmette-Guerin vaccine(BCG)on the expressions of CXCR3 and IP-10.Methods Forty Kunming mice were randomly divided into 4 groups:asthmatic group,DEX group,BCG group and control group,10 in each group.Mice were sensitized and challenged with ovalbumin (OVA) to establish asthmatic models.Ten mice in DEX group were administrated DEX (2 mg/kg) by abdomen injection 30 min before challenge (DEX group).Ten mice in BCG group were injected BCG(0.025 mg) intradermally 7,3,and 1 days before sensitization.The mice in control group mice were treated with 9 g/L saline instead of OVA.Mice of each group were executed 24 hours after the final challenge.Their lung tissue were paraffin embedded,sliced and stained by HE.The expressions of CXCR3 and IP-10 protein in lung tissue of mice were detected by immunohistochemistry.Results Distinct differences were discovered in the expressions of CXCR3(F=4.602 P=0.008) and IP-10(F=4.207 P=0.012) among the 4 groups.The expressions of CXCR3 and IP-10 in lung tissue of mice in asthmatic group were significantly higher than those in control group (Pa=0.002),while that in DEX group were significantly lower than that in asthmatic group (P=0.029,0.019).There were no significant difference between the BCG group and asthmatic group.Conclusions The chemokine receptor CXCR3 and its ligand IP-10 play an important roles in mechanisms in the pathogenesis of asthma.DEX and BCG can interfere the expressions of CXCR3 and IP-10 in varying degress.

BACKGROUND:Adipose-derived stem cel s are totipotent stem cel s in the adipose tissue, and have the function of self-renewal and multi-directional differentiation. Human adipose-derived stem cel s are ideal seed cel s with stable genetic milieu and few rejections.
OBJECTIVE:To extract human adipose-derived stem cel s from human omental adipose tissue and to identify the cel s by adipogenic and osteogenic induction.
METHODS:Omental adipose tissues were col ected from surgical patients to isolate and culture adipose-derived stem cel s using type I col agenase digestion, filtration and centrifugation. Cel growth was observed and proliferative curve of human adipose-derived stem cel s were drawn by cel counting method to calculate the doubling time at logarithmic growth phase. After adipogenic and osteogenic induction, induced cel s were identified using oil red O and alizarin red staining, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Human adipose-derived stem cel s were successful y isolated from the omentum tissues of surgical patients. Adherent cel s were fusiform-shaped and like fibroblasts. The growth curve of passage 3 cel s was in S shape, and the doubling time was 45.90 hours. After adipogenic and osteogenic induction for 2 and 3 hours, respectively, oil red O staining showed unequal-sized orange fat droplets, and alizarin red staining showed typical calcified nodules that were in orange. These findings indicate that adipose-derived stem cel s have the adipogenic and osteogenic capacity.

OBJECTIVE:To study the feasibility of overflow dissolution method for evaluating the drug in vitro sustained re-lease performance. METHODS:Overflow dissolution method was established by simulating the drugs elimination in vivo. Using Nifedipine sustained-elease tablets(Ⅰ)from 2 different manufacturers as model drug A,B,concentration-time curve,cumulative release rate- time curve,release velocity-time curve of model drugs in release pool at 3 different overflow speed (0,1.50,3.00 mL/min)were investigated. RESULTS:When overflow speed was 0,the cumulative dissolution was consistent with that of the con-ventional dissolution method. As the overflow speed increased,cmax of drug A,B was decreased [A:(8.89±0.20),(5.21±0.04), (3.51±0.03)μg/mL;B:(7.62±0.05),(4.80±0.09),(2.89±0.04)μg/mL];cumulative release rate was increased [A:(85.47± 2.45)%,(94.29 ± 2.44)%,(96.04 ± 2.56)%;B:(73.28 ± 1.13)%,(78.46 ± 1.94)%,(82.50 ± 1.69)%] ;tmax was ahead (A:1.5,1.0,0.5 h;B:2.0,1.0,0.5 h). CONCLUSIONS:Overflow dissolution method has avoided the inhibition of too large drug concentration on drug release,making complete drug release and more accurate evaluation of in vivo sustained release performance of the preparation.

AIM: To study the expression of cytokines and their receptors in leukemia cell lines and normal blood cells. METHODS: RT-PCR was used to detect expression of mRNA for cytokines in leukemia cell lines(HL-60,U937,K562,HEL,DAMI,MEG-01,HUT78 and CA) and normal blood cells, including CD34 + cells, megakaryocytes,platelets, peripheral mononucleates cells and granulocytes. RESULTS: ①CD34 + cells simultaneously expressed mRNA for IL-1(?,?),IL-3, IL-6 , G-CSF, GM-CSF and their receptors and SCFR,MPL as well. The granulocytes only expressed IL-6,IL-6R,G-CSFR,GM-CSF. Megakaryocytes and platelets only expressed IL-3R,IL-6,IL-6R,MPL.Interestingly, TGF? 1 ,TNF? and their receptors sustained to express in normal cells.②Most leukemia cell lines were found to simultaneously express at least two or more stimulating cytokines and receptors ,while TGF? 1 , TNF? and their receptors were expressed in all the leukemia cell lines we observed. CONCLUSIONS: ①Multi-autocrine loops exist in leukemia cells;②Imbalance of autocrine loops of positive and negative cytokines may be related to leukemia.

A complete aniline dioxygenase gene cluster cloned from an Acinetobacter sp. strain, which could utilize aniline as the sole carbon, nitrogen and energy, was sequenced. Sequence analysis showed that the gene cluster had six intact ORFs, and the whole sequence had high similarity with that of Acinetobacter sp. YAA at amino acid level. A recombinant strain was formed with the gene cluster ligated to vector pLAFR6 and transferred to E.coli. After optimizing the fermentation conditions of this strain for producing catechol, LB was confirmed as the final medium, pH7.0, aniline concentration 0.5mg/ml, E.coli DH5?as the host, incubation temperature 37℃, amount of inoculum 3%. Under above conditions, the yield of catechol could get to 0.546mg/ml, and the converting rate of substrate at molecule level could get to 92.4%.
