Objective:To prepare PEG-SH modified GNPs/miR-29 nanoparticles and to investigate the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells induced by PEG-SH modified GNPs/miR-29 nanoparticles.Methods:PEG-SH modified GNPs/miR-29 nanoparticles were developed by oxidation-reduction method and were tested for UV absorption spectrum, particle size distribution and zeta potential of nanoparticles. A total of 15 adult male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were used to establish spinal cord injury model by modified Allen method. The artificial miR-29 and PEG-SH modified GNPs/miR-29 nanoparticles were implanted into the injury site of spinal cord respectively. The stability of miR-29 expression was analyzed by gel electrophoresis. The neural stem cells were isolated and cultured from 10 SPF grade neonatal rats. It was identified by Nestin, GFAP and NSE antibodies. The activity and proliferation of neural stem cells in synthetic miR-29, PEG-SH GNPs and PEG-SH GNPs/miR-29 nanoparticles group was detected by CCK-8 assay. Neural stem cells were cultured with synthetic miR-29, PEG-SH GNPs and PEG-SH GNPs/miR-29 nanoparticles for 1 week. The density, length and number of neuritis were investigated.Results:The solution of PEG-SH modified GNPs showed a brownish red appearance. The spheres were in uniform distribution under transmission electron microscope. The results of UV absorption spectrum showed a single peak wave. The peak value of UV absorption was near 523 nm. The zeta potential increased gradually with the increased content of PEG-SH. The peak value of zeta potential was 22.5±5.2 mV. With the increase of content of PEG, the particle size of PEG-SH modified GNPs rapidly reached peak value at the early stage and then decreased rapidly to a relatively stable level. The synthetic miR-29 and PEG-SH modified GNPs/miR-29 nanoparticles were implanted into the injury site of spinal cord. At 0-6 h, clear band was observed in the synthetic miR-29 group. However, the band was disappeared rapidly at 12-24 h. In PEG-SH GNPs/miR-29 group, clear band were always observed. The OD values of miR-29 group were 0.34±0.17, 0.78±0.31, 1.28±0.68, 1.64±0.38 at 1, 3, 5 and 7 d after inoculation respectively. There was no significant difference in OD values compared with DMEM group. There was no significant difference in OD values among GNPs, PEG-SH GNPs, PEG-SH GNPs/miR-29 and DMEM group. The density (56.38±3.65 μm 2), length (78.25±3.72 μm) and the number [(356±34.52) /1,000×high power field] of neurites in PEG-SH GNPs/miR-29 group were higher than those in miR-29 group, PEG-SH modified GNPs group and saline group. However, there was no significant difference in the density, length and number of neurite between PEG-SH GNPs/miR-29 and serum group. Conclusion:PEG-SH modified GNPs/miR-29 nanoparticless have good biological properties. It can induce the proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells with protective effects on miR-29.

OBJECTIVETo compare the effects of Bushen Jiedu Recipe (BJR) and Jianpi Jiedu Recipe (JJR) containing plasma on dendritic cells (DCs) of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection patients under different immune states.
METHODSRecruited were 36 chronic HBV infection outpatients from First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine from April 2010 to January 2011. They were assigned to the immune tolerance group (18 cases) and the immune clearance group (18 cases).Another 10 healthy subjects were recruited as the healthy control group. Their anticoagulated peripheral venous blood was respectively collected. The peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated and further extracted for incubating DCs. The DCs were intervened by BJR and JJR containing plasma. The morphology of DCs was identified. The expressions of CD1alpha, CD80, CD86, and HLA-DR were detected. The level of interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha) in the supernatant was observed by ELISA.
RESULTSThe CD80 expression level was lower in the immune clear group than in the healthy control group before intervention (P < 0.05). The expression levels of CD80, CD86, and HLA-DR were lower in the immune tolerance group than in the healthy control group before intervention (P < 0.05).The IFN-alpha expression level was lower in the immune tolerance group and the immune clearance group than in the healthy control group before intervention (P < 0.05). The expression levels of CD80, HLA-DR, and IFN-alpha were lower in the immune tolerance group than in the immune clearance group before intervention (P < 0.05). Compared with the same group before intervention, the CD80 expression significantly increased in each treatment group (P < 0.05). After intervention the expression levels of CD80 and HLA-DR were higher in the immune tolerance group than in the immune clearance group in the same time phase, and the CD86 expression level was higher in the BJR group than in the immune clearance group in the same time phase, showing statistical difference (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONSThe middle dose BJR and the small dose JJR both could promote the recovery of DCs in chronic HBV infection patients. Besides, BJR showed more prominent effects on the function of DCs in chronic HBV infection patients in the immune tolerance stage.

OBJECTIVE:
To explore the value of transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) in transcatheter closure of atrial septal aneurysm (ASA) combined with secoundum-type atrial septal defect (ASD).
METHODS:
Fourteen patients (3 males and 11 females) who had ASA combined with secoundum-type ASD were diagnosed by TTE or transesophageal echocardiography. The ASA projected to the right atrium in all patients. The width of basilar part was 13 approximately 24 (18.5+/-3.9) mm, and the vertical extent was 7 approximately 11(9.7+/-1.8) mm. Ten patients combined with single hole ASD and 4 patients with multiple hole ASD. Blood shifting from the left atrium to the right atrium was displayed in color Doppler in all patients. All patients were treated by transcatheter closure under the guiding of X fluoroscopy and TTE, and examined with TTE during the follow-up.
RESULTS:
Transcatheter closure was successfully performed by 14 occluders in all patients. No residual shunt was detected immediately by TTE after the procedure in all patients. During the 6 approximately 12 month follow-up, no residual shunt or occluder shifting was found, the dimensions of the heart became normal in 11 patients (79%) and were significantly decreased in 4.
CONCLUSION
Transcatheter closure is feasible in patients with ASA combined with secoundum-type ASD, and extra attention must be paid to the specialty. TTE is very important in case selection before transcatheter closure, and it may be used to monitor and guide the procedure during transcatheter closure.

We evaluated the role of IL-10- in IL-33-mediated cholesterol reduction in macrophage-derived foam cells (MFCs) and the mechanism by which IL-33 upregulates IL-10. Serum IL-33 and IL-10 levels in coronary artery disease patients were measured. The effects of IL-33 on intra-MFC cholesterol level, IL-10, ABCA1 and CD36 expression, ERK 1/2, Sp1, STAT3 and STAT4 activation, and IL-10 promoter activity were determined. Core sequences were identified using bioinformatic analysis and site-specific mutagenesis. The serum IL-33 levels positively correlated with those of IL-10. IL-33 decreased cellular cholesterol level and upregulated IL-10 and ABCA1 but had no effect on CD36 expression. siRNA-IL-10 partially abolished cellular cholesterol reduction and ABCA1 elevation by IL-33 but did not reverse the decreased CD36 levels. IL-33 increased IL-10 mRNA production but had little effect on its stability. IL-33 induced ERK 1/2 phosphorylation and increased the luciferase expression driven by the IL-10 promoter, with the highest extent within the −2000 to −1752 bp segment of the 5′-flank of the transcription start site; these effects were counteracted by U0126. IL-33 activated Sp1, STAT3 and STAT4, but only the STAT3 binding site was predicted in the above segment. Site-directed mutagenesis of the predicted STAT3-binding sites (CTGCTTCCTGGCAGCAGAA→CTGCCTGGCAGCAGAA) reduced luciferase activity, and a STAT3 inhibitor blocked the regulatory effects of IL-33 on IL-10 expression. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (CHIP) confirmed the STAT3-binding sequences within the −1997 to −1700 and −1091 to −811 bp locus regions. IL-33 increased IL-10 expression in MFCs via activating ERK 1/2 and STAT3, which subsequently promoted IL-10 transcription and thus contributed to the beneficial effects of IL-33 on MFCs.
