Aim To evaluate the effects of fibrinolytic enzyme FⅡ from agkistrodon acutus venom on an experimental model of kidney thrombus induced by lipopolysaccharide(LPS). Methods The model of microvascular thrombosis in the rabbits kidney was performed by the method of Hermida, which was induced by infusing LPS. Treatments were begun simultaneously with LPS infusion, through the contralateral marginal ear vein. Six different groups were established: NS 10 ml?h~-1 was infused as the negative control group, urokinase ~20 000 IU?kg~-1 ?h~-1 as positive control group, FⅡwas infused with the dosage of 0.1(Low-dose), 0.3 (medium-dose),0.6 (high-dose) mg?kg~-1 ?h~-1 . The further rabbits, which were given neither LPS nor FⅡ, were infused with saline solution through both marginal ear veins. Kinney sections were examined for the presence of fibrin microthrombi. The measurement of FDP concentrations was used to assess the degradation of microvascular thrombosis. Results Intense fibrin deposition was also detected and FDP concentrations were (78.21?4.79)% and (84.27?6.21)% at 2 and 6 hours after LPS administration in LPS-control group. Little fibrin deposition was detected and FDP concentration also increased in urokinase control group. A lot of fibrin deposition was detected in Low-dose FⅡ group,little fibrin deposition was detected in medium-dose FⅡ group, and no fibrin deposition was detected in high-dose FⅡ group. Additional all doses of FⅡ led to a significant increase in FDP concentration as compared with LPS-control group (P

The imaging techniques have been widely used in the diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis,including plain radiography,magnetic resonance imaging,computed tomography and radionuclide imaging.Plain radiography is useful in the early detection of suspected osteomyelitis,but its sensitivity is low.Due to its high resolution and sensitivity,MRI has been the most widely used but its specificity is relatively poor.CT is mainly recommended for diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis in complicated anatomic regions.Radionuclide imaging will have prospects of broad application due to its diverse radiotracers and high sensitivity.This paper reviewed the research of imaging modalities in diagnosis of chronic osteomyelitis.

OBJECTIVE:To study the inhibitory mechanism of timosaponin B-Ⅱ(TB-Ⅱ) on the proliferation and migration of human lung cancer A549 cells. METHODS:A549 cells were treated with TB-Ⅱ [0(blank control),1,10 and 100 μg/ml] for 48 h,and total RNA and total protein were extracted respectively. Real time fluorescence quantitative-PCR and Western blot were used to detect mRNA and protein levels of IL-18. IL-18 in A549 cells was silenced by transfection;the expression of IL-18 mRNA and protein were compared among untransfection group,negative control group and transfection group;and then human lung can-cer A549 cells with silenced gene were treated with 10 μg/ml TB-Ⅱ for 24,48 and 72 h. The activity of cell proliferation was de-tected with CCK-8,and the change of cell migration ability was observed by streak method. RESULTS:Compared with blank con-trol,the expression of IL-18 mRNA and protein in A549 cells all increased after treated with TB-Ⅱ(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and were positively correlated with concentration. Compared with untransfection group,the expression of IL-18 mRNA and protein de-creased in transfection group(P<0.01). Compared with untransfected cell treated with TB-Ⅱ,the viability and migration ability of A549 cells with transfection gene increased after treated with TB-Ⅱ for 72 h(P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:TB-Ⅱ can inhibit the proliferation and migration of A549 cells by up-regulating IL-18 gene expression.

AIM: To study effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) and cyclosporin A (CsA) on the contents of active oxygens and nitric oxide (NO) in spleens of skin transplanted mice. METHODS: The donor mice BALB/C and receptor mice Cs7BL/6 were tested for skin transplantation. The HBO group mice were,treated with 99.2 % oxygen under 0.25 MPa for 1.5 hours, while CsA group mice were treated with CsA 0.5 rmg· kg- t· d- 1 by abdomen injection. After 14 days, the spleen were extracted the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA) and NO and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione peroxidase (GSH - PX), catalase (CAT) and NO synthases (NOS) were determined. RESULTS: (1) Compared with the control group, the transplantation group, HBO group and CsA group have markedly increased the content of MDA and the activities of GSH - PX and CAT; Compared with the transplantation group, the CsA group have markedly increased activity of SOD and reduced activities of GSH - PX and CAT; the HBO group have markedly reduced the activity of GSH - PX and increased the activities of CAT and SOD (P < 0.01 ). (2) Compared with the control group, the transplantation group have markedly increased the content of NO and the activity of NOS; Compared with the transplantation group, the HBO group have markedly increased the activity of NOS and reduced the content of NO ( P < 0.01 ); The content of NO and the activity of NOS in CsA group was not changed significantly. CONCLUSION: In the lymphocytes of the transplantation group, the peroxidation is intensified, and the content of NO and the activity of NOS increased. HBO and CsA may activate the systems of oxidation/antioxidation and NO/NOS in spleen, which may be related to their mechanism of inhibition rejection.

Objective To prepare nanobubbles and analysis its application for enhanced ultrasound imaging of small-cell lung cancer (SCLC). Methods Nanobubbles were prepared using a thin-film hydration-sonication method. MTT assay was used to evaluate the cytotoxicity of the nanobubbles for SCLC H446 cell line. The contrast-enhanced ultrasound (CEUS) of xenografted SCLC tumors in 10 nude mice was performed using nanobubbles and micro-scale microbubbles, and compared with livers. The time-intensity curve (TIC) was obtained using the Gamma variate and the following parameters were calculated, including area under the curve, time to peak, arrival time, peak intensity, and half-peak time. Results Nanobubbles with spherical shape distributed homogeneously, without obvious aggregation, the mean diameters was (392.1 ±48.6) nm and average zeta potential was (-16.8 ±2.9) mV. The MTT results indicated that the nanobubbles had no obvious cytotoxicity toward H446 cell line within the concentrations used for in vivo ultrasound imaging with nanobubbles (5 μg/ml). CEUS with the nanobubbles showed significantly higher peak intensity, and half-peak time [(18.14 ±0.62) s, (141.55 ±8.21) s] in comparison with the micro-scale microbubbles [(14.82 ±0.51) s, (120.43 ±8.73) s] (P= 0.033, 0.040). There was no significant difference in time to arrival, area under the curve and time to peak (all P>0.05). Compared with livers, the nanobubbles in xenografted SCLC tumors showed significantly shorter time to peak, lower peak intensity and area under the curve, and higher half-peak time (all P < 0.05). There was no significant difference in time to arrival (P > 0.05). Conclusion Nanobubbles ultrasound enhanced contrast agent shows good stability and contrast-enhancement effect in vitro, and provides an experimental basis for targeting ultrasound imaging and therapeutics of SCLC.
