Conclusion There is a mutual interaction between the epithelial cells and dermal cells of the hair follicle.The growth and development of hair follicle is regulated by the interaction of these cells.

Objective To study CTLA4Ig gene expressed in dermal papilla cells and to provide evidence for immune tolerance after dermal papilla cells transplantation. Methods CTLA4Ig cDNA was transferred into dermal papilla cells by recombinant adenovirus vector, and the dermal papilla cells containing CTLA4Ig gene were transplanted into mice skin. The target gene expression was detected by histological and immunohistochemistry technique. Results CTLA4Ig protein was expressed in plasma 6 hours after gene transfection and increased gradually. When the transferred papilla cells were transplanted into mice skin the gene began to express in 24 hours and lasted for 2 weeks. No rejection was observed. Conclusion Dermal papilla cells containing CTLA4Ig gene can survive in vitro and in vivo and express CTLA4Ig for a long time.

Objective:To prepare specific IgY production using Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans(A.a) immunizing hen, and then to investigate anti-Actinobacillus actinomycetemcomitans IgY inhibiting growth of A.a and Capnocytophaga gingivalis(C.g). Methods:Using immunization method, water-dilution method, two-step ammonium sulfate precipitation, inhibiting bacteria growth test in liquid anaerobic culture, and ELISA, IgY were induced, extracted, purified, and inhibiting growth of A.a and C.g by the IgY was roundly evaluated. Results:The IgY purity reached to 85.6%~90.3% through 550 g/L and 330 g/L ammonium sulfate precipitation, and efficacy value was 1∶32 000. The IgY efficacy value of anti- A.a was 1∶8 000 against C.g in cross-reactivity.When IgY concentrations of anti-A.a were in the 5.0,1.0,0.1 g/L and concentration of A.a was in the 5?108 CFU/L, the suppression rate of A.a growth were 31.60%(P=0.004),10.24%(P=0.024),-3.30% respectively during 24 h culture and were 64.20%(P=0.004),53.21%(P=0.002),11.20% respectively in 72 h culture. When the concentration of A.a was in the 1?108 CFU/L, the suppression rate of A.a growth were 35.71%(P=0.004),30.95% (P=0.012),11.11% respectively during 24 h culture, and were 65.11%(P=0.005),54.04%(P=0.002),16.17% respectively during 72 h culture. When 5.0 g/L IgY of anti-A.a was cultured with 1?108 CFU/L C.g for 24 h, the suppression rate of C.g growth was 41.61%(P=0.005), and for 72 h it was 86.99%(P=0.014). Conclusion:The hen is able to be induced to produce high efficacy value IgY of anti-A.a by A.a. The specific IgY of anti-A.a is capable of inhibiting A.a and C.g growth. There are common antigens and cross immunizing reactivity between A.a and C.g.

Objective To investigate effect on telomerase activity of Hep-2 cells treated by anticancer drugs(hydroxycamptothecine, cisplatin and cytoxan).Methods By MTT method,we measured the 50% inhibitory concentration(IC 50 ) at 72h,and compared to untreated control cells. Telomerase activity of Hep-2 cells treated by the drugs in different concentration based on IC 50 for different time was observed by Telomeric Repeat Amplification Protocol with ELISA(TRAP-ELISA).Results Hydroxycamptothecine and cytoxan could inhibit proliferation of Hep-2 and down-regulate telomerase activity of Hep-2 cell. However, cisplatin promoted proliferation of Hep-2 and up-regulated telomerase activity of Hep-2 cell.Conclusions Hydroxycamptothecine and cytoxan could down-regulate telomerase activity of Hep-2 cell by direct or indirect pattern, which may correlate with drug concentration and time-dependent pattern.Cisplatin could up-regulate telomerase activity of Hep-2 cell, which mechanism is not clear.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of extract of fetal brain (Nerval Active Factors, NAF) on learning, memory and stamina of mice.Methods51 mice were divided into five groups randomly: normal saline as Group A, Cerebrolysin as Group B, NAF as Group C:0.1mg,Group D:0.2mg,Group E:0.4mg, i.p.The time looking for food and error frequency of walking road were tested by using complicated maze, and the drowning time was tested when the mice carried 5% body weight on its back.ResultsBefore and after treatment,the time looking for food in maze showed no significant change in Group A(P>0.1) and was significantly shorter in Group B, C, D and E(P<0.005,P<0.05,P<0.001,P<0.001).There was no significant difference on error frequency of walking road in Group A and B(P>0.2,P>0.5) before and after treatment, while it was significantly decreased in mice of Group C, D and E(P<0.02,P<0.02,P<0.01).There was significant difference on drowned time of mice carrying 5% body weight on back in five groups by analysis of variance (P<0.05) after treatment, but this difference derived from C vs E(P<0.05)and D vs E(P<0.01).Conclusions NAF can raise the activity of learning and memory of mice, as well as increase their stamina. On the other hand, the stamina of mice decreases when NAF is given more than 20 mg/kg body weight.

ObjectiveTo study the protective effects of terlipressin on the renal function of recipients afterlivertransplantation.MethodsAmong 35casesreceivingorthotopicliver transplantation (OLT),16 cases were given terlipressin (group T):continuous infusion of terlipressin (1mg) into the vein immediately after the operation,twice every day for 3-4 days;19 cases were given dopamine and procaine (group D):continuous infusion of dopamine (40 mg) and procaine (0.5 g) into the vein immediately after the operation,twice every day for 3-5 days.In both two groups,the serum creatinine and urea nitrogen levels were normal before the operation. Serum creatinine,urea nitrogen,serum β2 microglobulin and urine amount were determined.ResultsSerum creatinine,urea nitrogen,serum β2 microglobulin and urine amount were increased significantly at 5th day after operation in both two groups (P＜0.05).As compared with group D,urea nitrogen and serum β2 microglobulin were decreased,while the urine amount increased significantly at 5th day after operation in group D (P＜0.05).Three cases (18.8％) in group T,and10 cases (52.6％ ) in group D developed RFALT at 5th day after operation (P＜0.05).ConclusionTerlipressin can protect the renal function of recipients after liver transplantation,and it can more effectively provide good recovery conditions for the recipients who develop RFALT after liver transplantation.

Objective　To investigate the actions of extra cellular medium in growth and differentiation of hair follicle and to look for growth adjusting factors for dermal papilla cells (DPC). Methods　Dermal papilla cells were isolated and cultivated with two steps method and the cells were identified by immunohistochemical staining for actin. Influence was examined on the adhesion and growth of dermal papilla cells by chondroitin sulfate A, chondroitin sulfate C and heparin sulfate.

The method is very simple and easy to manege with. Increased adhesion and growth of dermal papilla cells were observed in specimen treated with chondroitin A and heparin sulfate. No significant effects was observed in the cells treated with chondroit in sulfate C. Conclusion　Some extra cellular medium can regulate the adhesion and growth of dermal papilla cells and therefore influence the growth and development of hair follicle.

BACKGROUNDTo investigate the effects of cisplatin on proliferation, telomerase activity, cell cycle, p53, bcl-2 and proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) expressions of human lung adenocarcinoma SLC-89 cells induced by cisplatin and to find out the possible mechanisms.

METHODSSLC-89 cells were treated with cisplatin of different concentrations for 72 h. Then, the proliferation of the cells was measured by MTT method, telomerase activity was measured by telomeric repeat amplification protocol with ELISA (TRAP-ELISA), and cell cycle, p53, bcl-2 and PCNA expressions of the cells were detected by flow cytometry (FCM) respectively.

RESULTSCisplatin could obviously inhibit the proliferation of the cells, and IC₅₀ value for cisplatin treatment was 18.47 mg/L. Cisplatin could obviously down-regulate telomerase activity, decrease S phase cells, increase G₀/G₁ phase cells, decline the expressions of bcl-2 and PCNA proteins and induce the expression of p53 protein of SLC-89 cells in a concentration-dependent fashion.

CONCLUSIONSCisplatin can obviously inhibit the proliferation of SLC-89, change the distribution of cell cycle, decline telomerase activity and expressions of bcl-2 and PCNA proteins, and induce expression of p53 protein, which may be the important mechanisms of cisplatin's anticancer action.
