[Summary] The HK-2 cells with different culture media were divided into normal glucose group (NG group,5.5 mmol/L D-glucose) ; high glucose group (HG group,30 mmol/L D-glucose) ; mannitol group (MG group,5.5mmol/L D-glucose+24.5 mmol/L mannitol) ; 1,25-dihydroxyvitamin D3 [1,25-(OH)2D3] groups (V1-V3 group)which were exposed to medium containing 30 mmol/L D-glucose and different concentrations of 1,25-(OH)2D3 ;Nethyl-cysteim control group (NAC group,30 mmoL/L D-glucose + 1.0 mmol/L N-Nethyl-cysteim) ; and ethanol control group(SG group,30 mmol/L D-glucose+6.86 × 10-2 mol/L ethanol).The level of intracellular reactive oxygen species,mitochondrial membrane potential,activity of total-superoxide dismutase (T-SOD),level of malondialdehyde,expression of UCP2 mRNA and protein in HK-2 cells were detected.Compared with NG group,the mitochondrial membrane potential significantly decreased in HG group (P＜0.01),and the mitochondrial membrane potential in V group was lower than that in HG group(P＜0.01).The activity ofT-SOD in HG group was significantly lower than that in NG group(P＜0.01),while its level of malondialdehyde was significantly higher than that in NG group(P＜0.01).Compared with HG group,the activity of T-SOD in V groups was significantly increased (P＜0.05)and the level of malondialdehyde in these groups significantly decreased (P＜0.01).The mRNA expression of UCP2 in HG group was increased significantly in comparison with NG group (P ＜ 0.05) and the expression in V groups was significantly decreased in comparison with HG group (P＜0.01).The results suggest that 1,25-(OH)2D3 could reduce the mitochondrial membrane potential,the production of reactive oxygen species,and regulate the expression of UCP2 in order to suppress the oxidative stress induced by high glucose.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate clinical pharmacodynamics between fast-disintegrating oral nitroglycerin tablets and commercial tablets.METHODS:Fast-disintegrating oral nitroglycerin tablets with the same content as commercial tablets were prepared,the effects of two kinds of tablets on diastolic blood pressure,heart rate of the healthy volunteers were observed and compared.RESULTS:Fast-disintegrating oral nitroglycerin tablets showed more rapid drug absorption than the commercial tablets3minutes after administration,there was remarkable difference between them(P

0.05). Conclusion Lentivirus-mediated RNAi of DC-SIGN gene suppresses the gene expression on the surface of DCs effectively,but had no effect on the maturity and functions of DCs.

Objective:To observe the effects of mycobacterium tuberculosis components (mannose-capped lipoarabinomannan,ManLAM) on the maturation of dendritic cells and downstream immunity.Methods:The peripheral blood mononuclear cells were obtained from healthy individuals,and then were cultured in medium with GM-CSF and IL-4.Five days later the medium was changed and cytokine was added to.On the sixth day,the cells were divided into three groups.Meanwhile ManLAM and LPS were added to stimulate the DCs according to the experimental design.Seven days later,the cells were collected and the level of DC-SIGN,HLA-DR,CD86 and CD83 were detected by flow cytometry.The levels of IL-12 and IL-10 in the supernatant were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Proliferative induction of DCs to CD4+T lymphocytes was measured by mixed lymphocyte reaction(MLR).The naive CD4+CD45RA+ T cells and allogeneic DCs were co-cultured for 48 hours.Subsequently,the supernatant IFN-? level in each group was measured by ELISA.Results:(1)The expression of CD86 and CD83 on DCs in ManLAM group was lower than those of the mature group (P

BACKGROUND: Some reports demonstrated that, autoallergic or hematopoietic stem cells transplantation combined with chemotherapy received good outcomes in treating medulloblastoma, which can prolong survival time of patients. However, whether haploidentical hematopoietic stem cells transplantation can treat medulloblastoma remains poorly understood.OBJECTIVE: To firstly report a patient receiving haploidentical hematopoietic stem cells transplantation for treating medulloblastoma.METHODS: A terminal cancer patient with bone matastases successively received six lymphocyte transfusions from an unrelated donor combined with chemotherapy and three haploidentical hematopoietic stem cell transplantations.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The patient presented erythra, accompanied by fever, diarrhea and yellow brown liquid stools, which was considered as graft versus host disease, and treated by urbason, gammaglobulin, CellCept, Prograf, Basiliximab (anti-CD25 antibody), Infliximab (anti-tumor necrosis factor α antibody), effective antibacterial and supportive treatments. After that, the erythra and diarrhea were remised. But the patient died from cerebral hemorrhage. Allogeneic lymphocyte transfusion can kill or damage tumor cells, improve life quality, but the outcome is restrained for patient with a high tumor burden. Immunosuppressant, such as anti-CD25 antibody and anti-tumor necrosis factor α antibody should be timely used in consideration of allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

Objective:To test curriculum management effect of graduate students'clinical practice of counseling psychology.Methods:Totally 26 students [average age (24.5 ± 1.0) years] who completed 30-day interns summer were investigated with the self-made questionnaire evaluating the quality of clinical practice.Results:All students obtained promotion in practice activities,the attendance ranged from 50.0％ to 96.2％.The overall satisfaction was (3.8 ± 0.8) and the average degree of supervisors'satisfaction was (4.0 ± 0.8).There were 92.3 ％ of the students had participated more than 224 hours' practice and completed all tasks.After the interns,the students had significantly improved in all 8 aspects of professional abilities.Conclusion:In graduate education of counseling psychology,curriculum management of clinical practice may be an effective approach to improve students' clinical skills.

Objective To evaluate the effect of Toll-like receptor 7 (TLR7) agonist on c-Jun Nterminal kinase (JNK) signaling pathway during liver injury in the septic mice.Methods One hundred eighty pathogen-free adult male C57BL/6 mice,aged 10-14 weeks,weighing 20-26 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=60 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (group S);sepsis group (group Sep);TLR7 agonist group (group GDQ).Sepsis was induced by cecum ligation and puncture.In group GDQ,TLR7 agonist 1.5 g/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 24 h before establishment of the model.At 6,12 and 24 h after operation,10 mice in each group were sacrificed,and the livers were removed to detect the expression of interleukin-6 (IL-6) and IL-10 by Western blot.The expression of JNK was determined by immuno-histochemistry,and the histopathologic changes of livers were examined with a light microscope at 24 h after operation.The survival of mice was observed at 14 days after operation,and the 14-day survival rates were calculated.Results Compared with group S,the 14-day survival rates were significantly decreased,and the expression of IL-6,IL-10 and JNK was significantly up-regulated at 6,12 and 24 h after operation in Sep and GDQ groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group Sep,the 14-day survival rates were significantly increased,and the expression of IL-6,IL-10 and JNK was significantly down-regulated at 6,12 and 24 h after operation in group GDQ (P＜0.05).The pathological changes of livers were significantly attenuated in group GDQ as compared with group Sep.Conclusion TLR7 agonist can reduce the liver injury through blocking the JNK signaling pathway in the septic mice.

Objective In this study, the glucose and energy metabolism-related genes (PGC-1α, Glut-4, ERRα, NRF-1, TFAM and mtDNA gene) were detected in type 2 diabetes mellitus ( T2DM) and non-T2DM minipigs, and the gene function was explored for T2DM pathogenesis.Methods The longissimus muscle of T2DM and non-T2DM Guangxi Bama mini-pigs was used as experiment material.The expression of glucose and energy metabolism-related genes was detec-ted by QRT-PCR.Results The expressions of PGC-1α, Glut-4, ERRαand NRF-1 genes were significantly higher than that of non-T2DM group, the expressions of TFAM and mtDNA gene were lower than that of non-T2DM group.Conclu-sions The upregulated expression of PGC-1αgene and its downstream genes Glut-4, ERRα, NRF-1 may improve the glu-cose metabolic functions in skeletal muscle in the Bama minipigs, whereas insufficient mitochondrial synthesis may induce decreasing ATP synthesis, and results in skeletal muscle insulin resistance, finally leading to the T2DM occurrence.
