Objective To examine the levels of fractional exhaled nitric oxide in bronchial asthma and the cor-relation between fractional exhaled nitric oxide and pulmonary function tests as well as the value of pulmonary function tests in curing the children with bronchial asthma. Methods Seventy - two asthmatic children came from Guiyang Ma-ternal and Child Health Hospital were studied. They were divided into 2 groups:mild - to - moderate asthma group(36 cases)and serious asthma group(36 cases). Fractional exhaled nitric oxide level and the lung function were measured and the correlation analysis was analyzed by SPSS 13. 0 software. Results The fractional exhaled nitric oxide concen-tration of the serious asthma group was significantly higher than that of the mild - to - moderate asthma group[(47 ± 26)ppb vs(29 ± 15)ppb,t = 3. 543,P ﹤ 0. 01],1 - second rate,maximum mid - expiratory flow(MMEF),and peak expiratory flow(PEF)in mild - to - moderate asthma group were significantly higher than those in serious asthma group[(99. 74 ± 9. 81)% vs(87. 17 ± 13. 30)% ,(87. 12 ± 35. 61)% vs(68. 90 ± 30. 88)% ,(99. 97 ± 10. 83)% vs (94. 31 ± 17. 69)% ](P ﹤ 0. 01,0. 05,0. 05). No correlations were found between fractional exhaled nitric oxide level and the lung function parameters,including forced expiratory volume in 1s(FEV1),1 - second rate,MMEF and PEF in the mild - to - moderate asthma group(r = 0. 073,0. 087,0. 242,0. 326,all P ﹥ 0. 05). However the level of fractional exhaled nitric oxide was negatively correlated with the lung function parameters,including FEV1,FEV1 / FVC,MMEF and PEF in serious asthma group(r = - 0. 354,- 0. 573,- 0. 478,- 0. 471,P ﹤ 0. 05,0. 001,0. 005,0. 005),respec-tively. Conclusions Monitoring of fractional exhaled nitric oxide and the lung function parameters can effectively indi-cate the state of illness of asthmatic child,which plays a key role in the treatment.

Objective To investigate the effect of vasoactive intestinal peptide (VIP) and methylprednisolone (MP) on Toll-like receptor (TLR)2/4 mRNA expression in endotoxin (lipopolysaccharide,LPS) induced shock.Methods Ninety Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into LPS group (n =20),LPS + VIP group (n =20),LPS + MP group (n =20),LPS + VIP + MP group (n =20) and control group (n =10).LPS group injected intravenously LPS (E Coli O55B5) 10 mg/kg.LPS + VIP group,LPS + MP group and LPS + VIP + MP group were injected intravenously VIP 5 nmol/kg,MP 3 mg/kg and VIP 5 nmoL/kg + MP 3 mg/kg after LPS 10 mg/kg injection.The control group injected normal saline intravenously instead of LPS.The rats were sacrificed at 6 h and 24 h after injection and the intestine samples were collected.Pathological changes of the intestine were observed by microscopy.RT-PCR was used to detect the intestinal TLR2 mRNA and TLR4 mRNA expressions.Results Intestinal mucosa showed edema or necrotic change with structure of the microvilli disappeared after LPS injection.The inestinal lesions in VIP,MP and VIP + MP groups were milder than LPS group.At 6 h after LPS injection,TLR2 mRNA and TLR4 mRNA expressions were significantly up-regulated in LPS group,LPS + VIP group,LPS + MP group and LPS + VIP + MP group (TLR2 mRNA:1.14 ±0.38,1.17 ±0.42,1.16 ±0.41,0.92 ± 0.29;TLR4 mRNA 1.21 ±0.18,1.04 ± 0.38,1.11 ± 0.34,1.01 ± 0.20) compared with the control group (0.32 ± 0.20,0.24 ± 0.17) (P ＜ 0.01).But there was no significant difference between LPS group,LPS + VIP group,LPS + MP group and LPS + VIP + MP group (P ＞ 0.05).At 24 h after LPS injection,TLR2 mRNA and TLR4 mRNA expressions in LPS + VIP group,LPS + MP group and LPS + VIP + MP group (TLR2 mRNA:0.63 ± 0.12,0.59 ± 0.13,0.52 ±0.19;TLR4 mRNA 0.67 ±0.09,0.64 ±0.09,0.51 ±0.13) were significantly lower than LPS group (1.04 ± 0.38,0.82 ±0.18) (P ＜0.01) (P ＜0.05).Conclusion VIP and/or MP can mitigate intestinal injury induced by LPS shock.The gastrointestinal protection of VIP and glucocorticoids were related to downregulation signaling TLR2 mRNA and TLR4 mRNA expression.But VIP/MP and VIP + MP have no significant effect on expression of intestinal TLR2/4 mRNA until 24 h after LPS shock.

The high performance liquid chromatography-fluorescence micelle assay (HPLC-FMA) method for the content determination of polysorbate 80 in monoclonal antibody drugs was validated to study its applicability and transferability between various laboratories, and the feasibility to be included in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Both J.T. Baker and Nanjing Well-sourced polysorbate 80 was used in the collaborative validation of polysorbate 80 content analysis in seven different laboratories. The results show that when the protein concentration was no more than 20 mg·mL^-1 and the concentration of polysorbate 80 ranged from 0.05 to 0.5 mg·mL^-1, the method had good specificity. The recovery rates of the spiked samples ranged from 92.20% to 117.70% for J.T.Baker and from 93.90% to 117.20% for Nanjing Well. The intra-laboratory precision (%RSD) was less than 4.30% for J.T. Baker, and less than 2.60% for Nanjing Well, while the overall precision was less than 5.45% for J.T. Baker, and less than 6.70% for Nanjing Well. The linear correlation coefficient was more than 0.98 for J.T. Baker and more than 0.99 for Nanjing Well. The results of the collaborative validation prove that the HPLC-FMA method has good accuracy, precision, linearity, and specificity, and could be used for release control analysis of polysorbate 80 content in monoclonal antibodies across different laboratories.

OBJECTSTo investigate the distribution of vitamin D receptor (VDR) genotypes among the Hans of a lead contaminated mine in Shanxi and explore the relationship between blood lead levels and the genetic polymorphism of VDR gene.

METHODSVDR genotypes were determined by polymerase-chain-reaction and restrictive fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) and the blood lead level was measured by using the graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry in a population of 120 pre-school children aged 5 - 6 years who were from the mine kindergarten and were unrelated Hans. An environmental questionnaire in relation to blood lead level was filled for each subject.

RESULTS(1) The gene distribution of the VDR phenotypes in these children was VDRBB, 1.7%; VDRBb, 9.2%; VDRbb, 89.2%. (2) The mean blood lead level of the children who had VDR B allele [(0.910 8 +/- 0.265 0) micromol/L] was significantly higher than that whose VDR genotype was bb [(0.740 1 +/- 0.270 1) micromol/L (mean +/- standard deviation)] (t = 2.155, P < 0.05). (3) Many factors were found to affect the blood lead levels, such as the VDR genotype, the type of fuel, educational level of mothers and so on. After controlling the possible confounding variables by multiple regression, the contribution of the VDR phenotype to the blood lead levels was still statistically significant.

CONCLUSIONThese results indicated that the frequency distribution of the VDR genotype in these children was apparently different from that in Caucasians who had high frequencies of VDR B. The results also indicated that the individuals carrying the VDR B allele were more susceptible to lead poisoning.
