Immunoglobulins ( Ig ) , also called antibodies, are important components in humoral -mediated immunity. Ig can bind with their receptors, called immunoglobulin receptors ( IgR ) , trigger biologic activities respectively. Different sub-types of Igs show different function. And IgRs have been treated as therapeutic targets in inflammation and immunity related dis-eases for many years. This article reviewed the recent progresses in the study of IgR function and its therapeutic role in inflamma-tion and immunity related diseases.

CDKs proteins are a kind of cell cycle protein-dependent kinases, which serve as important roles in controlling cell division and transcriptional stages. Among them, CDK9, as a key regulator responsible for the transcriptional elongation of cells, drives the development of various malignant cells and is considered as an important target in the field of anti-tumor drug development. However, the CDK family proteins feature high conservativeness and similarity in structure, leading to the poor selectivity and severe side effects for traditional small-molecular CDK9 inhibitors, which has limited their clinical applications. In view of this, there is an urgent need to investigate CDK9 targets through a novel strategy. The PROTAC is an emerging drug discovery strategy that the degrader could specifically recognize the target protein through indirect linkage with ubiquitin ligases and ultimately eliminate the target protein through the ubiquitination degradation system. This paper provides a brief overview of the structure and function of CDK9 protein, its relationship with the poor prognosis of clinical diseases, as well as the currently reported small molecular inhibitors. The latest research progress on the targeted degradation of CDK9 protein based on PROTAC technology is highlighted. Finally, the development prospects of this target protein in this novel technology field are summarized and prospected, aiming to provide a reference for the development of antitumor drugs in this direction.

In order to established a method for simultaneous determination of isoquercitrin, astragaline, quercetin and kaempferol in Lysimachia clethroides, the ionic liquid 1-hexyl-3-methylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate ([HMIM]PF6) methanol was used as the ultrasound-assisted extraction solvent combing with RP-HPLC. A Purospher star RP-C1 column was used with the mobile phase of aceto- nitrile, methanol and 0. 4% phosphate acid by gradient elution at the detection wavelength of 360 nm. The flow rate was 0.7 mL x min(-1), and the column temperature was the room temperature. Under the optimized conditions, the linear ranges were 2.54 x 10(-2)-2. 54, 2.50 x 10(-2)- 2.50, 1.54 x 10(-3)-0.154, 1.49 x 10(-3)-0.149 microg for isoquercitrin, astragaline, quercetin and kaempferol, respectively. The average recoveries of the four constituents were 101.1%, 98.90%, 101.0%, 101.6%, respectively. The method was green, simple, rapid and accurate, and provided a valid method for analysis of isoquercitrin, astragaline, quercetin and kaempferol in L. clethroides.

AIM: To compare bone marrow stem cell mobilization with bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMCs) transplantation for the therapy of myocardial infarction (MI) in rabbits, and to explore more effective and practical stem cell therapeutic strategy for MI. METHODS: In mobilization group (M, n=10), granulocyte-colony stimulating factor (G-CSF) (30 ?g?kg~ -1 ?d~ -1 ) was injected subcutaneously 3 hours after MI and every 24 hours for 5 days. On the 5th day, the BMCs from 10 mL peripheral blood were labeled with bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU) for 24-48 hours, then reinjected intravenously. In transplantation group (T, n=10), BMCs transplantation was performed 5-7 days after MI. After being obtained from bone marrow (3- 5 mL ) of iliac crest and labeled with BrdU for 24-48 hours, BMCs were transplanted into infracted myocardium through intramyocardial injection. Control animals (C, n=10) did not receive any treatment after MI. Echocardiography were performed for the evaluation of cardiac function 1 week and 5 weeks after MI. Hemodynamic studies and histological study were performed 5 weeks after MI. RESULTS: LV ejection fraction increased significantly in group M, had no change in group T, and decreased 1 week and 5 weeks after MI in group C. Group M and group T had higher LV max +dp/dt and max -dp/dt, lower LV end-diastolic pressure compared with group C 5 weeks after MI. Histological studies revealed that there were BrdU positive cells in the infarcted area in group M and group T. The vascular density of group M and group T in the infarcted area was significantly greater in comparison with group C. No regeneration of smooth muscle cells and cardiomyocytes were found in the infarcted area. CONCLUSION: Bone marrow stem cell mobilization with G-CSF and transplantation of BMCs both significantly improve the cardiac function for the therapy of MI through vascular genesis in the infarcted area. Bone marrow stem cell mobilization may offer a new and non-invasive therapeutic strategy for MI.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and extent of mononuclear ceils DNA damage in peripheral blood of mice fed with low dose T-2 toxin and Deoxynivalenol(DON) alone or in combination and to explore the long-term toxicity of the toxin at sub-clinical dose. Methods Eighty female Balb/c mice weighing (14.0 ± 1.5)g 3 weeks after birth were divided randomly into control group, T-2 toxin group, DON group and T-2 toxin combined with DON group according to their body weight, 20 in each group. The mice were injected intraperitoneally T-2 toxin(5 μg·kg-1·d-1), DON(20 μg·kg-1·d-1), T-2 toxin(5 μg·kg-1·d-1) combined with:DON (20μg·kg-1·d-1)respectively,control group were treated by isotonic NaCl. In 16 weeks and 21 weeks of exposure, the tail blood of the mice was collected. The comet rate, tail DNA content,tail length and tail extent moment of mouse mononuclear ceils in peripheral blood was observed using single cell gel electrophoresis(SCGE). Results ① In T-2 toxin group,tail DNA content,tail length and tail extent moment were (27.71 ± 15.85)%, (13.67 ± 5.56)μm, 4.26 ± 3.83 at 16 weeks and (28.38 ± 15.57)%, (13.83 ± 5.47)μm, 4.37 ± 3.82 at 21 weeks, all levels of the indexes increased. In the control group, the corresponding values were (11.87 ± 4.61)%, (10.59±6.70)μm, 1.34±0.98 at 16 weeks and (11.31 ± 3.94)%, (10.83 ± 7.05)μm, 1.29±1.01 at 21 weeks, the differences in the two groups were significant (all P < 0.05) ;②In DON group, the comet rate of cells, tail DNA content and tail extent moment of comet ceils were 5.62%, (28.13 ±13.31)%, 3.39 ± 2.35 at 16 weeks and 7.71%, (29.17 ± 15.12)%, 5.70 ± 4.17 at 21 weeks. In the control group, the tailing rate was 4.34% at 16 weeks and 4.38% at 21 weeks, the differences in the two groups were significant (all P < 0.05);③In the group of T-2 toxin combined with DON,the comet rate, tail DNA content, tail length and tail extent moment was 6.21%, (30.14 ± 15.48)%, (16.93± 6.58)μm, 5.54 ± 4.22 at 16 weeks and 8.17%, (30.85 ± 15.76)%, (17,21±6.45)μm, 5.70 ± 4.17 at 21 weeks. Moreover, the levels were significantly higher than that in the control group(all P < 0.05). The tail DNA content and length of comet cell tail significantly increased in the combine group compared with T-2 group or DON group(P < 0.05). Conclusions Low dose T-2 toxin or DON can definitely result in DNA damage of mononuclear cells in peripheral blood of mice. The damage induced by T-2 toxin combined with DON is severer than that caused by T-2 toxin or DON alone.

Objective: To investigate the effects of bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells (BMC) transplantation for the therapy of myocardial infarction (MI) in rabbits. Methods: 20 rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups. MI was induced by ligation of the left anterior descending artery.In transplantation group(T,n=10), BMC transplantation was performed on 5-7 days after MI . Bone marrow (3-5 ml) was obtained from iliac crest and labeled with bromodeoxyuridine (Brdu) for 24-48 hours, BMC were transplanted into infracted myocardium through intramyocardial injection. Control animals (C,n=10) didn′t receive any treatment after MI. Echocardiography was performed for evaluating the cardiac function in 1 week and 5 weeks after MI. Hemodynamic and histological studies were performed in the 5 th weeks after MI. Results: LV ejection fraction of group T had no change, but group C decreased in the 1st week and 5th weeks after MI. The results of Group T having higher LV max +dP/dt and max-dp/dt, lower LV end-diastolic pressure showed comparing with that of group C in the 5th weeks after MI. Histological studies revealed that there were Brdu positive cells in the infarcted area in group T, and the vascular density of group T in the infarcted area was significantly greater in comparision with group C. No regeneration of smooth muscle cell and cardiomyocyte were found in the infarcted area. Conclusion: Transplantation of BMC may avoid the deterioration of cardiac function through vasculogenesis in the infarcted area,but the efficacy in amelioration of cardiac function is limited.

Objective To explore the impact of combined laparoscopic and choledochoscopic treatment on bile leak in hepatic hydatid disease at a high attitude region.Methods The clinical data of 50 patients who underwent combined laparoscopic and choledochoscopic treatment were compared with 50 patients who underwent laparoscopic surgery alone for hepatic hydatid internal capsule excision surgery.Results In the combined laparoscopic and choledochoscopic group,the incidence of biliary fistula after surgery was 15％,the incision infection rate was 13％,the length of hospitalization was (11.6 ± 3.8) days and the postoperative time to take off drain was (14.3 ± 7.9) days.These were significantly better than those in the laparoscopic alone group.The operation time in the former group was (108.2 ± 28.4)min,which was slightly longer than the laparoscopy group.Conclusion The combined laparoscopic and choledochoscopic treatment is a safer therapeutic option in treating hepatic hydatid disease with less trauma,faster recovery and shorter hospital stay than laparoscopic surgery alone in a high attitude region.
