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.

Aim To observe the expression of mesen-cephalic astrocyte-derived neurotrophic factor(MANF) in synovial membrane and serum of rats with adjuvant arthritis (AA) and to analyse the relationship between MANF expression and arthritis. Methods AA models were prepared by injecting Freund complete adjuvant (FCA) into SD rats. The swelling of the secondary joint was measured by foot volume measurement. The severity of AA was recorded by arthritis index (AI). Synovial pathological changes were observed by HE staining. The protein and mRNA levels of MANF,BiP and CHOP extracted from synovial tissues in different periods of AA rats were detected by Western blot and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), respectively. The levels of MANF, C-reactive protein (CRP), interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and tumor necrosis factor α (TNF-α) in serum were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and then the relationship between MANF level and inflam-matory factors were explored. Results AA rat model was established successfully. The expression of BiP significantly increased in synovial tissue on d 2 after CFA injection,and decreased until d 28. The expres-sion of MANF slightly increased on d 2,then remained stable,and significantly increased on d 14, and then decreased gradually. The expression of CHOP kept to rise slowly at a low level. The level of MANF in serum markedly increased on d 14,then gradually decreased, but it was still higher than the normal level on d 28. The level of CRP exhibited similar trend with MANF. Correlation analysis showed that MANF had a negative correlation with arthritis symptoms, IL-1β and TNF-α in the secondary inflammatory period of AA rats. Con-clusions Arthritis induces the expression and secre-tion of MANF,and the level of MANF is closely relat-ed to the progression and severity of arthritis.

Objective To compare the efficacy of closed-loop infusion of propofol for surgery in pe-diatric patients of different ages. Methods Forty-five pediatric patients of both sexes, weighing 10-63 kg, of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical statusⅠ or Ⅱ, scheduled for elective urologic sur-gery under general anesthesia, were divided into 3 groups(n=15 each)according to the age: infant group (1-3 yr), pre-school group(4-6 yr)and school-age group(7-12 yr). The bispectral index(BIS)moni-tor was connected to the closed-loop anesthesia delivery system, and the system automatically regulated the target plasma concentration of propofol to achieve a target BIS value of 45-55 during maintenance of anes-thesia. Remifentanil was given by target-controlled infusion at a target plasma concentration and rocuronium was intravenously injected when necessary during surgery. BIS40-60time percentage(percentage of time of BIS value maintaining at 40-60 in time of closed-loop infusion), median performance error(MDPE), me-dian absolute performance error(MDAPE), wobble and global score were recorded. The consumption of propofol, mean target plasma concentration and regulating frequency and consumption of remifentanil and rocuronium were recorded during surgery. Extubation time or laryngeal mask airway removal time, time to eye-opening and time of regaining consciousness were recorded. Results The BIS40-60time percentage was significantly higher, MDPE, MDAPE, wobble and global score were lower in pre-school and school-age groups than in infant group(P<005). Compared with pre-school group, the consumption of remifentanil was significantly decreased(P<005), and no significant change was found in BIS40-60time percentage, MDPE, MDAPE, wobble or global score in school-age group(P>005). There was no significant differ-ence in the consumption of propofol, mean target plasma concentration, regulating frequency, consumption of rocuronium, extubation time or laryngeal mask airway removal time, time to eye-opening or time of regai-ning consciousness among the 3 groups(P>005). Conclusion Closed-loop infusion of propofol produces better stability for surgery in pre-school and school-age children than in infants.

Objective To investigate the expression and correlation of NKG2D and sMICA in lung cancer patients. Methods By collecting 30 lung cancer patients as the test group,and taking 30 healthy volunteers as the contrast group, the expression of NKG2D and sMICA in the two groups were examined separately by FACS and ELISA method. Results The expressions of NKG2D in the two groups were (81.56±8.78) %, (85.63±6.62) %. The lung cancer patients were high remarkable. There was a significant difference between the two groups (P <0.05). The expression of sMICA in the two groups were (354.13 ±80.575) pg/ml,(216.53±48.175) pg/ml. The lung cancer patients were low remarkable. There was a significant difference between the two groups (P <0.01). There was a significant relation between the two groups (r =-0.349, P =0.006). Conclusion The expression of NKG2D and sMICA may provid one of the immune targets for diagnosing that can forecast the immune state and malignant metastasis of the lung cancer patients. The significant relation between NKG2D and sMICA may take on main role in the immune escaping of tumor. It may provide the suitable target of the patients for tumor organisms and immune treatment.

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.

Mouse L1210 leukemia cell line is widely used as a model in the study of tumorigenesis, as well as the efficacy of chemotherapeutic drugs; however, like other suspension cell lines, the mouse L1210 cell line has lowest transfection efficiency, that many barriers exist to study about the structure, function, as well as metabolism in leukemia cells. This study was aimed to obtain higher transfection efficiency of L1210 cell line to facilitate scientific research. The transfection efficiencies of nucleofector and liposome in L1210 leukemia cells were detected by converted fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry using EGFP (enhance green fluorescent protein); cell viability was observed by trypan blue exclusion test. The results showed that the transfection efficiency of nucleofector primarily through reporter gene pEGFP by Amaxa Nucleofector(TM) nuclear transfer apparatus was significantly higher than lipofectamine 2000 transfection, furthermore, in the same cell density (2 × 10(6)/ml) and plasmid content (10 µg), the transfection efficiency of nuclear transfer apparatus default mode A-20 was higher than that of other modes (S-18, T-20). Its survival rate was up to 50.5% after 24 hours. Cell viability of liposome transfection reached to 88% after 24 hours, but the transfection efficiency was lower (< 1%). It is concluded that the nuclear transfer apparatus A-20 transfected L1210 can reach higher transfection efficiency up to 61.6%, which is significantly higher than that of lipofectamine transfection. The survival rate is up to 50.5% well meeting the needs of scientific research. Higher transfection efficiency is helpful for in-depth research about the morphology, functions and pathogenesis in leukemia model L1210, and provides more searching space for the treatment of leukemia diseases.
