AIM: To investigate the effect of glucocorticoid inhalation on the levels of CD4~+CD25~+ regulatory T cells in peripheral blood of asthmatic children. METHODS: Glucocorticoid inhalator was inhaled by 70 children with attack asthma. The levels of CD4~+CD25~+ Tr in peripheral blood of asthmatic children were tested by flow cytometry (FCM). RESULTS: The CD4~+CD25~+ Tr levels in peripheral blood of asthmatic children were (5.62% ± 1.29% ) and (7.05% ± 1.61%) before and after of regulated glucocorticoid inhalation, respectively (P<0.01). The Tr levels were (7.56% ± 1.88% ) , (7.09% ± 1.23% ) and (6.11% ± 1.96% ) in the complete control group, part control group and poor control group, respectively ( P < 0.05 ). The Tr level in formal treatment group (7.05% ±1.61%) was higher than that in irregular treatment group ( 5.91 % ± 1.76% ), P < 0.01.CONCLUSION: The level of CD4~+CD25~+ Tr is remarkable increased by regulated glucocorticoid inhalation, and the level of Tr can reflect the effects of glucocorticoid inhalation.

Objective To investigate the protection of agmatine on blood brain barrier (BBB) permeability and the effect on the expression of aquaporin 4 (AQP4) and matrix metalloproteinase 9 (MMP9) in ischemic reperfusion injury rats.Methods Sixty healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal control group (NC),model group and agmatine group,and there were 20 rats in each group.Normal control group was treated with intraperitoneal injection of saline in 2 hours after incision and suture of skin.Model group was treated with intraperitoneal injection of saline in 2 hours after the establishment of middle cerebral artery occulation (MCAO) model.Agmatine group was treated with intraperitoneal injection of agmatine (AGM) in 2 hours after the establishment of MCAO model.The damage of blood brain barrier was detected by measuring the permeability of blood brain barrier.The infarct size of brain was observed with TTC staining.The morphological changes of neurons were observed with electron microscope.The expressions of AQP4 and MMP9 were detected using immunohistochemical method.Results The permeability of BBB of agmatine treatment group (0.31±0.10) decreased significantly compared with the model group (0.46±0.09) (P<0.05),but was still significantly higher than the normal control group (0.24±0.12) (P<0.05).There was no infarction area in normal control group and the infarction areas of agmatine group decreased obviously compared with the model group.Compared with model group,the number of neurons with morphological changes reduced significantly and the degree of pathological changes of neurons was obviously improved in agmatine group.Compared with normal control group,the expression of AQP4 and MMP9 in ischemic penumbra of left cerebral hemisphere parietal cortex in the rats of model group and agmatine group increased significantly(P<0.05).And the expression of AQP4 and MMP9 in model group was significantly higher than that of agmatine group(P<0.05).Conclusion Agmatine has a protective effect on BBB with ischemia-reperfusion injury due to its down-regulation the expression of AQP-4 and MMP-9.

Objective To investigate the combined biological effects of low dose radiation,carbon monoxide,benzene and noise on rats.Methods Sixteen male SD rats were randomly divided into experiment group and control group.The experiment group was exposed to carbon monoxide,benzene,low dose radiation and noise daily,the control group was in common environment.Peripheral blood,organ index,and marrow DNA content were detected.Two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) was performed on serum protein analysis.Differential expressed proteins were identified by a matrix assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MAIDI-TOF-MS).Results Compared to control group,the liver index,spleen index,thymus index,leukocytes,platelets count,and marrow DNA content of the experiment group were decreased significantly (t =2.732,4.141,3.053,2.211,2.668,11.592,P <0.05).12 altered proteins were detected and through identification,3 proteins were definite in terms of serum amyloid A-4 protein (SAA4),trichoplein keratin filament-binding protein (TCHP) and tubulin alpha-4A chain (TUBA4A).Conclusions The hematopoietic system and immune system of rats are damaged significantly with the changes of several serum protein expressions by the combined exposure of low dose radiation,carbon monoxide,benzene and noise.This study may provide new information for the mechanism of the combination effects.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility and the safety of endoscopic closure for acute colon perforations with novel successive endoclips in animal model. Methods Approximately 1. 5 to 2 cm colonic full-thickness resections were created with an electrotome in 3 Ba-Ma pigs that were under general anesthesia and were closed with the conventional endoclips and novel successive endoclips respectively. The procedure time and the efficacy of each endoclip were recorded. After the procedure,the general condition and physiological indicators were carefully monitored. After a follow-up of 1 week,the pigs were euthanized for an endoscopic observation of the healing condition and the residual endoclips. A postmortem examination was performed to observe the abdominal infection and incision condition. Transverse sections of the colon across the site of perforation were taken for histopathologic examination to assess the healing process. Results All the colonic perforation models in three pigs were established successfully. Endoscopic closure for acute colon perforation with two kinds of endoclips was technically successful in all 3 pigs. The mean time of the procedure with successive endoclip was less than that with the conventional endoclip(54. 0 seconds VS 91. 9 seconds,P<0. 001),but the successful release rate of the successive endoclip was lower than that of the conventional endoclip without significant difference[62. 5%(15/ 24)VS 14/ 16,P= 0. 17].All the ani-mals survived without infection and hemorrhage. Five perforations demonstrated signs of healing,whereas one closed with the novel successive endoclips failed to heal completely. Conclusion Endoscopic closure for a-cute colon perforations with novel successive endoclips is effective and safe. The novel successive endoclip has the advantage of saving time,but it needs to be further improved and perfected to satisfy the clinical need.
