The effects of injection of adenosine into the renal artery on multi- and single-unit spontaneous discharges of renal afferent nerve fibers were investigated in anesthetized rabbits. The results obtained are as follows: (1) injection of 50, 100, and 200 nmol/kg adenosine into the renal artery increased the renal afferent nerve activity (ARNA) in a dose-dependent manner with unchanged arterial pressure; (2) pretreatment with 8-cyclopenthl-1,3-dipropylxanthine (DPCPX, 160 nmol/kg), an adenosine A1 receptor antagonist, partly abolished the effect of adenosine; and (3) pretreatment with a nitric oxide synthase inhibitor N(omega)-nitro-L-arginine methylester (L-NAME, 0.1 mmol/kg) significantly enhanced the ARNA response to adenosine. The results suggest that injection of adenosine into the renal artery activates ARNA via adenosine receptors in anesthetized rabbits and that nitric oxide may be involved in regulating the activity of renal sensory nerve fibers as an inhibitory neurotransmitter.

OBJECTIVE:
To investigate the optimal doses of X-ray irradiation and plasmid injection in the anti-tumor effect of the pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 gene combined with radiotherapy in vivo.
METHODS:
We observed the anti-tumor effect of the pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 gene combined with radiotherapy with different doses of X-ray irradiation (2, 10, 20 Gy) and plasmid injection (10, 20, 30 microg) in nude mice with JF-305 pancreatic carcinoma, and detected the expression of p16 in tumor by RT-PCR.
RESULTS:
The tumor growth rate of the nude mice irradiated locally with 20 Gy X-rays after the plasmid injection was significantly lower (P < 0.05 ) than that of the nude mice irradiated locally with 2 Gy or 10 Gy X-ray 3 days after the irradiation. The tumor growth rate of the nude mice injected locally with 20 microg or 30 microg plasmid was significantly lower (P <0.05 ) than that of the nude mice injected locally with 10 microg plasmid. Both pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 group and pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 +20 Gy group had p16 mRNA expression, but the mRNA level of pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 +20 Gy group was higher than that of pcD- NA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 group.
CONCLUSION
In the pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 gene combined with radiotherapy in vivo the optimal dose of X-ray irradiation was 20 Gy and the optimal dose of plasmid injection was 20 microg. The anti-tumor effect of pcDNA3. 1-Egr. 1p-p16 combined with radiotherapy is better than that of radiotherapy or gene therapy alone, which may be related with the enhanced p16 expression in tumor after the irradiation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate suitable treatment method for contracture of inframammary scars.
METHODSNine female patients with contracture of inframammary sear hospitalized in our hospital from July 2000 to July 2007 were subjected to skin expansion around the breast. The sites of incisions were mainly located on the inframammary scars. The expanders were placed around the breast and middle chest near the sternum. On the lateral side of chest, the expander should be inserted at the site parallel to upper level of the breast. The expanders should be placed under deep fascia and superficial to the gland. At II stage of operation, the scars were excised and the subcutaneous tissues should be thoroughly loosened to assure that the soft tissue and mammary gland would be restored to its anatomical position. Expanded skin was then designed as advancement or transposition flaps to repair the defects, or effects were closed with suturing.
RESULTSBlood circulation disturbance occurred at the tip of a flap in one patient, with the size of 4.0 cm x 3.0 cm, and the resulting wound healed after skin grafting. Flaps in the other 8 patients survived, and the wounds healed satisfactorily. Nipples and mammary areola were successfully restored to the anatomical positions. Three patients were followed up for 6 months to 2 years, and the result was satisfactory.
CONCLUSIONSExpanded flap is feasible for repairing contracture of inframammary scar and with good result.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the h4 allele (C35T) frequency of alpha-1,2-fucosyltransferase gene in Chinese population.
METHODSThe polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) method for identifying C35T variant was established by using PCR to amplify a 125 bp FUT1 gene fragment, including C35T variant sequence, and the PCR product was digested by Hae III restriction enzyme. One hundred and fifty-eight random samples from Chinese blood donor were screened by PCR-RFLP.
RESULTSAmong 158 Chinese individuals with normal ABO and H blood group phenotypes, 8 and 83 were homozygous with 35T/T and 35C/C, respectively, while 67 were heterozygous with 35C/T. The allele frequencies were compatible with Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.
CONCLUSIONThe C35T substitution of FUT1 gene is not a mutation which gives rise to a non-functional h allele responsible for para-Bombay phenotype but a single nucleotide polymorphism in Chinese population.

OBJECTIVETo explore the molecular mechanism of exocrine immune inflammatory injury of Sjögren's Syndrome and the intervention of Banxia Qinlian Decoction (BQD).
METHODSTotally 18 female NOD mice were randomly divided into the model group, the positive drug group, and the BQD group, 6 in each group. Six female BALB/c mice were recruited as a blank control group. Mice in the blank control group and the model group were gavaged with deionized water at the daily dose of 0.1 mL/10 g body weight. Tripterygium Tablet was administered by gastrogavage to mice in the positive group at the daily dose of 10 mg/kg. BQD was administered by gastrogavage to mice in the BQD group at the daily dose of 60 g crude drugs/kg. After 12 weeks of medication, mice were sacrificed. Their eyeballs were excised and blood collected. Tissues of bilateral parotids and submandibular glands were kept. mRNA transcriptional levels of IL-17, IL-6, type 3 muscarinic acetylcholine receptors (M3R), aquaporin protein-5 (AQP5) were detected by RT-PCR. Expression levels of M3R and AQP5 protein were detected by Western blot. Protein expression levels of IL-17 and IL-6 were detected by ELISA.
RESULTSCompared with the normal group, mRNA transcriptional levels and protein expression levels of IL-17, IL-6, M3R, and AQP5 were significantly up-regulated in the model group (P < 0.01). Compared with the model group, mRNA transcriptional levels and protein expression levels of IL-17, IL-6, M3R, and AQP5 were significantly down-regulated in the positive drug group and the BQD group with statistical difference (P < 0.01, P < 0.05). Compared with the BQD group, mRNA-transcriptional levels of IL-17, IL-6, and M3R, as well as M3R and AQP5 protein expression levels were significantly down-regulated in the positive drug group (all P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONThe molecular mechanism of BQD in inhibiting SS exocrine neurotoxic injury might be possibly related to regulating Th17/IL-17 immune inflammatory way.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of cholecystokinin octapeptide (CCK-8) on carotid sinus baroreflex in 36 anesthetized male rats by isolated carotid sinus perfusion in vivo. The results obtained are as follows. (1) By perfusion with CCK-8 (0.1, 0.5, 1.0 micromol/L), the functional curve of baroreflex was shifted to the right and upward, with a decrease in peak slope (PS) (p<0.001) and a reflex decrease (RD) in mean arterial pressure, while the threshold pressure (TP) and saturation pressure (SP) were significantly increased. Among the functional parameters of carotid sinus baroreflex, the changes in RD, PS and TP were dose-dependent. (2) Pretreatment with proglumide (100 micromol/L), a nonselective CCK receptor antagonist, the inhibitory effect of CCK-8 (0.5 micromol/L) on the baroreflex was significantly attenuated. (3) Pretreatment with L-NAME (100 micromol/L), an inhibitor of nitric oxide (NO) synthase, did not affect the inhibitory action of CCK-8 (0.5 micromol/L). (4) Preperfusion with Bay K 8644 (500 nmol/L), an agonist of calcium channel, could attenuate the effect of CCK-8 (0.5 micromol/L). It is suggested that the inhibitory action of CCK-8 on the baroreflex may be mediated by the activation of its receptors in the carotid sinus baroreceptor, leading to an inhibition of stretch-sensitive channels and a decrease in Ca(2+) influx. However, NO released from the endothelium seems not to be involved in the mechanism of this effect.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the molecular genetic basis of A2 subgroup and identify the novel alleles at ABO locus in Chinese Han population. All seven exons and their flanking sequences, enhancer and promoter in the ABO gene of five samples from individuals with serological discrepancies were amplified by polymerase chain reaction (PCR); the PCR products were screened by directly sequencing; the haplotypes of exon 6 and 7 were analyzed by TOPO cloning sequencing. The results showed that five samples were identified as A2 or A2B subgroup by serological technology. The A201 and A205 alleles were confirmed in one A2B individual and one A2 individual, respectively. A novel A2 variant allele was identified in three A2B individuals. The two nucleotide acid alterations (467C > T and 539G > C) at the exon 7 resulting in two amino acid substitutions (P156L and R180P) in this novel allele were observed, when compared with A101 allele. It is concluded that the polymorphism of A2 allele is found to be relatively variable in Chinese population, and a novel A208 allele responsible for A2 subgroup is firstly reported.
