Objective To explore the elimination effect of radix Pulsatillae extracts on R plasmid of pseudomonas aeruginosa.Methods R plasmids of pseudomonas aeruginosa were isolated from the sputum of elderly patients suffering from respiratory infection,and the elimination test of radix Pulsatillae extracts on these plasmids was performed in vitro and in vivo.Results Being treated with the extracts for 24,48 and 72 h in vitro,the elimination rate of R plasmids was 0,1.8 %and 3.4 %respectively,while in SDS(sodium dode canesulphonate)control group the elimination rate was 0,0.8 %and 1.6 %respectively.Being treated with the extracts for 24,48 and 72 h in vivo,the elimination rate was 0,2 %and 12.8 %respectively,and 0 in the control group.Conclusions Both in vitro and in vivo,radix Pulsatillae extracts have an elimination effect on R plasmid of pseudomonas aeruginosa,and the effect in vivo is stronger than that in vitro.

Objective To investigate the mechanisms of attachment of respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) to human airway epithelial cells.Methods Attachment of RSV to CFBE was quantitatively assessed by flow cytometry.Various polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to RSV and heparin were pre-incubated with RSV.The blocking effects of these antibodies and heparin on attachment were evaluated.Results CFBE cells reduced capacity being bound by RSV.All the antibodies used were failed to block attachment of RSV on CFBE,whereas heparin blocked RSV attachment in a dose-response manner and the blokade by heparin was almost complete at the concentration of 0.4 mg/L.Conclusions Flow cytometry provides direct evaluation of attachment without growth of virus.Heparin-like molecules on cell surface of CFBE appears to be involved in attachment between RSV and human epithelial cells.

Objective: To study the correlation between the expression of CD44s, CD44v6 and theclinicopathological characters of laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma (LSCC) so as to analyze the role of them inoccurrence and progression of LSCC. Method:Expression of CD44 and CD44v6 in 46 cases of LSCC and 20 casesof adjacent normal tissues was inspected with immunohistochemical SP method. Result:The expression of CD44sincreased significantly in lymphnode metastasis group (94.4%) and stage Ⅲ~Ⅳ group (96.2%),but decreasedin non-lymphnode metastasis group (67.9%) and stage Ⅰ~Ⅱ group (55.0%). The expression of CD44v6 waslower (21.7%),which wasn′t associated with any clinicopathological characters. Conclusion:The role of CD44and CD44v6 in carcinoma maybe dependent on the species,type of carcinoma, and the expression of CD44s maybe a biologic marker to evaluate metastasis of LSCC.

OBJECTIVETo study whether the analgesis of oxymatrine (OMT) affects N-type voltage-gated calcium channels (VGCCs).
METHODSTotally 45 mice were randomly divided into the sham-operation group, the model group [established by partial sciatic nerve ligation (PSNL)] , and the OMT treatment group according to random digit table, 15 in each group. The dorsal root ganglions (DRG) were separated in PSNL pain model mice. Intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca2+]i) was determined with Fluo-3 AM immunofluorescent probe in cultured DRG neurons. Different protein expression levels of N-type (Cav2. 2) and L-type ( Cav1. 3) among VGCCs from brain and DRG tissues were detected with Western blot.
RESULTSCompared with the sham-operation group, [Ca2+]i, increased in cultured DRG neurons (P <0. 05) , protein expression levels of Cav2. 2 in the brain tissue increased (P <0. 05), protein expression levels of Cav2. 2 in DRG tissues decreased in the model group (P <0. 01). Compared with the model group, [Ca2+]i, decreased in cultured DRG neurons (P < 0. 05), protein expression levels of Cav2. 2 in the brain tissue decreased (P <0. 01), protein expression levels of Cav2. 2 in DRG tissues increased in the OMT treatment group (P <0. 01). There was no statistical difference in Cav1. 3 expressions in cultured DRG neurons and the brain (P >0. 05).
CONCLUSIONAnalgesic effect of OMT might be related to Cav2. 2 channel mediated calcium ion flux.
