Objective To investigate the influence of kaempferol on transforming growth factor(TGF)-β1/Smads signal trans-duction in liver tissue of mice with schistosomiasis liver fibrosis. Methods Forty BALB/c mice were randomly divided into a normal control group(8 mice),a praziquantel group(8 mice ),and 4 praziquantel+kaempferol groups with different kaempfer-ol dosages(5,10,15,20 mg/kg respectively,6 mice each group). Besides the normal control group,all the mice in the other 5 groups were infected with Schistosoma japonicum. After the infection for 6 weeks,the praziquantel group and the 4 praziquantel+ kaempferol groups were treated with praziquantel 500 mg/(kg · d) for 2 d,then the mice in the praziquantel group were drenched with normal saline for 6 weeks,and those in the 4 praziquantel+kaempferol groups were drenched with kaempferol 5, 10,15,20 mg/kg respectively for 6 weeks. After the treatment,all the animals were sacrificed by the cervical dislocation meth-od,and the area of egg granuloma and the degree of fibrosis in the livers of the mice were observed by HE and Masson staining. The expressions of TGF-β1,Smad2/3,Smad7 proteins were measured by the immunohistochemical method,and the mRNA lev-els of the 3 proteins were detected by RT-PCR. Results Compared with the mice in the praziquantel group,the areas of egg granuloma of the liver of the mice in the 4 praziquantel+kaempferol groups were smaller,and the degrees of the hepatic fibrosis of the mice were lesser,and their expressions of Smad2 and Smad3 at protein and their mRNA levels were significantly lower (all P<0.05),while the expression of Smad7 at protein and its mRNA level were significantly higher(all P<0.05). Conclu-sion By decreasing the expressions of TGF-β1 and Smad2/3,and increasing the expression of Smad7,kaempferol can signifi-cantly reduce the degrees of hepatic fibrosis and granuloma caused by schistosome eggs after the praziquantel treatment.

Objective To investigate the change of CD_4~+CD_(25)~(high)CD_(127)~(low)> regulatory T cells (Trcg cells) sub-group level in peripheral blood of non-Hodgkin lymphama (NHL) patients, and to explore its clinical significance. Methods Treg cells levels in peripheral blood of lymphoma patients and normal were detected by flow cytometry, followed by statistical analysis. Results In the 65 cases of NHL patients, Treg cells in peripheral blood were (6.72±1.38) %, higher than that in the normal control group (5.65±0.68) % (P <0.05). Percentage of Treg cells are significantly different between clinical stages and normal: [P <0.05, normal control group (5.65±0.88) %, Ⅰ -Ⅱ period (6.08±1.18) %, Ⅲ-Ⅳ period (6.95±0.85) %]. The percentage of Treg cells are also different among pathological types of patients and normal [P <0.05, normal control group (5.65± 0.68) %. The percentage of Treg diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (5.83±0.95) % and other subtypes of lymphoma (7.83±1.76) %]were observed. It is not sure that Treg cells percentage among patients with different levels of lactate dehydrogenase and normal are significantly different. [P >0.05, normal control group (5.65±0.68) %, patients with normal LDH group (6.97±1.20) %, patients with lactate dehydrogenase (6.54±1.02) %]. Conclusion Treg cells induced by tumor and could inhibit the immune cells, Treg cells percentage in peripheral blood of tumor patients is higher than that the normal control group, and increased with the clinical staging, so the percentage of Treg cells may serve as a clinical indicator to evaluate tumor load.

Rice stripe virus (RSV) infects rice and is transmitted in a propagative manner by the small brown planthopper.How RSV enters an insect cell to initiate the infection cycle is poorly understood.Sequence analysis revealed that the RSV NSvc2 protein was similar to the membrane glycoproteins of several members in the family Bunyaviridae and might induce cell membrane fusion.To conveniently study the membrane fusion activity of NSvc2,we constructed cell surface display vectors for expressing Nsvc2 on the insect cell surface as the membrane glycoproteins of the enveloped viruses.Our results showed that NSvc2 was successfully expressed and displayed on the surface of insect Sf9 cells.When induced by low pH,the membrane fusion was not observed in the cells that expressed NSvc2.Additionally,the membrane fusion was also not detected when co-expressing Nsvc2 and the viral capsid protein on insect cell surface.Thus,RSV NSvc2 is probably different from the phlebovirus counterparts,which could suggest different functions.RSV might enter insect cells other than by fusion with plasma or endosome membrane.

Objective To study the significance of rDNA transcription activity of peripheral blood T lymphocyte in patients with urinary tract tumors. Methods rDNA transcription activity of peripheral T lymphocyte was detected by a cell image analysis of Ag-NOR in 21 patients who were pathologically diagnosed with kidney cancer (including 6 cases of T_1N_0M_0,9 of T_2N_0M_0,4 of T_3N_0M_0 and 2 of T_4N_2M_1) and in 42 patients with bladder tumor (including 14 cases of TaN_0M_0,11 of T_1N_0M_0,1 of T_1N_0M_1,8 of T_2N_0M_0,4 of T_3N_0M_0 and 4 of T_4N_0M_0).Twenty-eight normal volunteers served as controls and 23 patients with uremia as positive controls.The peripheral blood was taken for detection of Ag-NORs in controls and in tumor patients before and after operation.The differences were compared among these groups. Results rDNA transcription activity of T cells was (8.55?1.11)%,(6.29?0.97)%,(5.44?0.68)% and (5.42? 0.68)% in controls and patients with uremia,renal and bladder tumors,respectively,showing a statistically significant difference among the normal uremia and tumor patients (P0.05).The parameters,such as TNM stages of renal and bladder tumor,the cell grades according to WHO criteria,tumor volume of the kidney,and invasion depth and recurrence frequencies of bladder tumors,had no significant correlation with rDNA transcription activity of T cells. Conclusions rDNA transcription activity of T cells may be used for monitoring the immune function in patients with kidney and bladder tumors,especially for primary screening of urinary tract tumors.
