Objective To investigate the mechanism of soluble β-1, 3-D-glucan in G-test positive serum in inhibiting ROS-dependent killing of Candida albicans ( C.albicans ) mediated by neutrophil Dectin-1.Methods The expression and distribution of internalized Dectin-1 and triggered ROS in human neutrophils were detected by using confocal/two-photon laser scanning microscopy upon stimulation with C.albicans (MOI=10) which was pretreated with β-1, 3-D-glucanase (10 U/ml) or not.Abrogation test was used to analyze whether intracellular Dectin-1 was involved in C.albicans-triggered ROS production in human neutrophils.Furthermore, flow cytometry analysis was performed to detect the expression of intracel-lular Dectin-1 and ROS in neutrophils which were pretreated respectively with G-test positive serum at differ-ent dilutions for 60 min and then stimulated with C.albicans for another 60 min at 37℃.Results After stimulated with C.albicans (MOI=10) for 60 min, the expression of Dectin-1 in neutrophils was recruited to the spores of opsonophagocytized C.albicans, and partly co-localized with the triggered ROS production . However, the expression of intracellular Dectin-1 was not observed in neutrophils when stimulated with β-1, 3-D-glucanase pretreated C.albicans for 60 min at 37℃.Abrogation test further showed that C.albicans-trig-gered ROS production in neutrophils was partly and irreversibly inhibited by adding Dectin -1 blocking mAb of 5 μg/ml.In addition , both the triggered expression of intracellular Dectin-1 and ROS production in neu-trophils stimulated with C.albicans ( MOI=10 ) in the presence of G-test positive serum were significantly lower than those of neutrophils stimulated only with C.albicans (LSD-t test, P<0.01).Linear regression a-nalysis suggested that the triggered intracellular Dectin-1 and ROS production in neutrophils upon stimulation with C.albicans were both inhibited by soluble β-1, 3-D-glucan in a dose-dependent manner (Dectin-1,R2=0.702,P<0.01;ROS,R2=0.588,P<0.01 ).Conclusion Taken together, these results demonstrated that the soluble β-1, 3-D-glucan in G-test positive serum may play a role in inhibiting the ROS-dependent killing of C.albicans by interfering with internalized expression of neutrophil Dectin-1.

Human tissue kallikrein-binding protein (Kallistatin, KAL), a secretory protein that participates in the regulation of multiple signaling pathways by binding to the extracellular receptor, however, at present has not been reported about the intracellular activity, and whether it has the similar biological activity with extracellular activity. Here we constructed no signal peptide KAL (NSK) into the adeno-associated virus vector to explore the intracellular activity of KAL. Both the endothelial cell and lung cancer cells could express KAL, but not secreted after rAAV2-NSK transfection. The proliferation and migration of human umbilical vein endothelial cells (HUVECs) were inhibited, but the apoptosis rate was not affected. The proliferation rates, mobility and tubule formation of all the three tested lung cancer cells, such as NCI-H446, NCI-H460 and A549, were inhibited to different extents. This cellular study not only confirmed the intracellular activity, but also suggested it may serve as a kind of "balance factor" in multi-targeted controlling, which may provide a new train of thoughts to explain the regulatory contradiction in PI3K-Akt signaling pathways by KAL.

Objective To explore the role of hydrogen peroxide in mesenteric artery contraction of cirrhotic rats with portal hypertension,which was induced by bile duct ligation.Possible mechanism in RhoA/ROCK signal pathway was also part of the focus.Methods The bile duct ligation-induced cirrhotic rats and normal rats (control group) were treated equally with PEG-catalase(10 000 U/kg-1 · d-1,ip.) or by its vehicle for 8 days.Then the level of H2O2 in mesenteric arteries was detected.The contractile response to norepinephrine of arterioles was analyzed by vascular perfusion system.The protein expressions of the α1 adrenergic receptor,β-arrestin-2 and Rho kinase-1 (ROCK-1),and the activity of ROCK-1 were measured by western blot.In addition,the interaction of α1-adrenergic receptor with β-arrestin-2 was assessed by co-immunoprecipitation.Results Compared to normal rats,the dose-response curve of the mesenteric arterioles in response to norepinephrine shifted to the right,and the EC 50 increased in the rats with portal hypertension.PEG-catalase treatment can decrease the hydrogen peroxide level in arteries,thus significantly lowered EC50 and improved the reactivity to norepinephrine of the mesenteric arterioles in portal hypertension rats.No significant difference in the α1-adrenergic receptor amounts was observed among groups.There was remarkable decreases in the protein expressions of β-arrestin-2 and its interaction with the α1-adrenergic receptor in cirrhotic rats with PEG-catalase treatment.PEG-catalase also increased the amount and activity of ROCK-1 in cirrhotic rats.Conclusions The level of hydrogen peroxide increases in the mesenteric arteries in bile duct ligation-induced cirrhotic rats.And it enhances the β-arrestin-2 expression and its interaction with the α1-adrenergic receptor,which subsequently decreases the amount and activity of ROCK as well as the contractility of mesenteric arteries in response to vasoconstrictors.

The incompatibility of traditional Chinese medicines is related to the clinical medication safety, so has attracted wide attentions from the public. With the deepening of studies on the incompatibility of traditional Chinese medicines represented by 18 incompatible herbs, the incompatibility of theory traditional Chinese medicines has raised to new heights. From the origin of incompatibility theory of traditional Chinese medicines, relationship of herbs, harms of incompatible herbs and principle of prevention to toxic effects of specific incompatible medicines, the innovation and development of the traditional Chinese medicine incompatibility theory was explored. Structurally, the incompatibility of traditional Chinese medicines refers to the opposition of two herbs based on seven emotions and clinical experience. The combination of incompatible herbs may lead to human harms, especially latent harm and inefficacy of intervention medicines. The avoidance of the combination of incompatible herbs and the consideration of both symptoms and drug efficacy are the basic method to prevent adverse reactions. The recent studies have revealed five characteristics of incompatible herbs. Toxicity potentiation, toxication, efficacy reduction and inefficacy are the four manifestations of the incompatible relations. The material changes can reflect the effects of toxicity potentiation and toxication of opposite herbs. The accumulation of toxicity and metabolic changes are the basis for latent harms. The antagonistic effect of main efficacies and the coexistence of positive and negative effects are the distinctive part of the incompatibility. The connotation of incompatible herbs plays an important role in the innovation of the traditional Chinese medicine incompatibility theory.

Objective To investigate the distribution of death among human immunodeficiency virus/acquired immuno deficiency syndrome(HIV/AIDS) cases in Guizhou Province from 1995 to 2017. Methods The HIV/AIDS death cases from 1995 to 2017 were downloaded from “Chinese National Comprehensive HIV/AIDS Prevention and care Information system” in Guizhou Province and were analyzed. Results From 1995 to 2017, Guizhou Province reported a total of 43 794 HIV/AIDS cases and 11 527 deaths according to current address. After excluding missing persons, the HIV/AIDS mortality rate of the province was 29.8%. The proportion of reported HIV/AIDS cases died in the same year ( 21995-2012=139.5, P<0.001; 22012-2015=28.2, P<0.001) and the proportion of HIV/AIDS cases ( 21995-2012=109.1, P<0.001; 22012-2014=57.2, P<0.001) who survived at the beginning but died later in the year all showed a trend being low-high-low. In the analysis of the detection history of death cases, the detection proportion of cluster of differentiation 4(CD4) T-cell and the proportion of antiviral treatment had been increasing year by year. The analysis of the cause of death found that the proportion of death caused by AIDS increased firstly and then declined, and the proportion of death due to excessive drug abuse showed a trend of declining year by year. Conclusions The mortality rate of HIV/AIDS in Guizhou Province was still high, and decreased rather slow. Expanding the coverage of HIV monitoring and screening is one of the key tasks of AIDS prevention and control. CD4+T-cell testing and free antiviral treatment should be strengthened to reduce the mortality rate of HIV/AIDS in Guizhou Province in the future.
