At the same time,much progress has been achieved in anti-inflammatory and immunological research in China,especially in the field of basic scientific issues in immunology, frontier and hot topics,immunological mechanisms of major diseases and related drugs. The course of development of Chinese anti- inflammatory immunopharmacological research has experiences various stages,such as ″follow ″ in the past to ″work together ″ and to ″lead ″ in some research areas in today′s international immunology.

The cells sense direction is closely related with the proteins that contain PH (pleckstrin homology) domain. PH domain has been found in about 60 proteins, many of which could activate the sequent events of signal transduction via combining with the related binding sites on the surface of chematactic cel ls. The characteristics of this combining are: a.rapid and transient; b.It is only related to the concentration gradient of surroundings outside cells, whi ch is the base of spatial model; c.The distribution of the binding sites on th e cell membrane changes when the researchers altered the position of the chemoat tractant. This is the base of temporal model. To deeply investigate the effects of all kinds of proteins which contain PH domain on cells sense of direction will greatly promote the research of this field, and hence, has great theoretica l significance.

AIM:To study of effects of Panax notoginsengnoside(PnGL) on neutrophil(Neu) functions in carrageenin(Car) induced subcutaneous air-vesicle synovitis in rats and its mechanisms METHODS:Rat air-vesicle synovitis model was established with sc Car(25mg/kg) Neu count,the phagocytosis of Neu,the realease of O2 ?- from Neu and the level of Neu-i were measured with test tube diluting method,staphylococcus aureus phagocytosis method,cytochrome C reduction method and Fura-2 fluorescence technique respectively RESULTS:At 12h after Car used,Neu count of exudates elevated,phagocytosis rate and index of Neu and the release of O2 ?- from Neu increased obviously,suggesting that Neu was in an activated state Mea_nwhile,the level of Neu-i elevated significantly PnGL 60～240mg/kg ip,30min before and 6h after Car sc,reduced Neu count of exudates,inhibited phagocytosis functions and the increase of i level of Neu in a dose-dependent manner There was a significant correlation between the reduction of Neu-i and the inhibition of Neu phagocytosis functions and the release of O2 ?- from Neu Dexamethason had similar effects on Neu functions to PnGL,but with no effect on the level of Neu-i CONCLUSION:The reduction of Neu-i level and the subsequent inhibition of Neu functions is one of the important anti-inflammatory mechanisms of PnGL,which is different from that of Dex

Objective To explore neuroprotective effect of escitalopram oxalate on cerebral ischemia reperfusion in injury rats and its possible mechanism,thus provide experimental evidence for the use of the drug in the clinical treatment of ischemic cerebrovascular disease.Methods 160 male rats of SD were selected and randomly divided into three groups:sham operation group(Sham group),negative control group(NS group),intervention group(CIT group,for 14 days and 21 days).Focal middle cerebral artery occlusion model(MCAO)of rats were constructed.Neurological deficit of rats in each group were evaluated by modified neurological severity score(mNSS)scale.Microvessel diameter,density,and total area of each group angiogenesis in cerebral ischemic area were observed by Laser cofocal technology after 14 days and 21 days at different time points;the plasma concentrations of VEGF were detected by ELASA,and expression levels of VEGF were detected by immunohistochemical assay and Western blot in each group,to explore its possible mechanism of molecular biology.Results After modeling,neurological deficit of intervention group for 14 days and 21 days were improved significantly.The indicators were as follows:scores of mNSS in NS group(6.57 ±1.13)was significantly higher than(4.39 ±0.92)in intervention group for 14 days(P<0.05);scores of mNSS in intervention group(3.23 ±0.55)for 21 days was significantly lower than(4.14 ±0.74)in intervention group for 14 days(P<0.01).Confocal 3D imaging results after 14 days showed:microvascular total area was significantly lager which illustrated that the effect of drug intervention for 14 days started to work over time.Plasma concentrations and expression levels of VEGF in intervention group for 14 days and 21 days were higher than those in Sham group,NS group.VEGF protein expression of cerebral ischemia tissues in intervention group for 21 days were higher than that of 14 days(P<0.01).Conclusion Escitalopram oxalate could significantly reduce cerebral ischemia and reperfusion in rats nerve injury and improve neurological function,which has a neuroprotective effect,the effect of drug intervention gradually increases over time,and the possible mechanism of which is related to angiogenesis mediated by VEGF.

Objective To investigate skin rash characteristics in patients with dengue fever, and to explore factors associated with the occurrence of skin rashes in dengue fever. Methods Skin rashes were observed in 127 hospitalized patients with dengue fever. Clinical and laboratory data were collected from these patients. Statistical analysis was carried out by using a two-sample t-test and chi-square test with the SPSS16.0 software. Results Out of the 127 inpatients, 88 (69.29%)had skin rashes, which usually developed within 5-7 (average, 5.06 ± 2.50)days after fever onset. Among the 88 patients, 37(42.05%)developed skin rashes during fever, while 51(57.95%)after the drop of body temperature. Moreover, 48 (54.55%) patients complained of itching, while 39 (44.32%) never felt itch, and 1 complained of a tingling sensation all over the body. The type of skin rashes was various. Congestive erythema and macules were observed on both palms in 26 (29.55%)patients, and might be the characteristic skin presentation of dengue fever. Skin rashes usually began in both lower extremities, whereas the order of their subsidence was unclear. There was a significant difference in blood platelet (PLT) count as well as alanine transaminase and aspartate transaminase levels between patients with skin rashes and those without(all P=0.00). However, no significant difference was observed in the count of leukocytes, neutrophils or PLT, or the levels of alanine transaminase or aspartate transaminase between patients with hemorrhagic rashes and those with nonhemorrhagic rashes or between patients with itching and those without (all P>0.05). Conclusions Dengue fever has various skin rashes, and congestive erythema and macules on both palms may be the distinctive presentation of dengue fever.

Atherosclerosis is the outcome of polygenic inheritance and interaction of environmental factors.It is one of the important the diseases controlled by the epigenetic laws.DNA methylation is the first discovered and well-studied epigenetic molecular mechanism.There are a variety of ways for the detection of DNA methylation,each has its advantages and disadvantages.The abnormal methylation modification of genomic DNA comprehensive hypomethylation and related candidate genes is closely associated with the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis.This article reviews the related research progress.

The process of tumor angiogenesis is a complicated chain reaction which happens under the action of a series of positive feedback and negative feedback factors . Cancer stem cells are small part cell groups of self-renewal and multilineage differentiation potential in tumors. Many studies indicate that tumor stem cells participate in the process of tumor angiogenesis, and vascular endothelial growth factor can regulate endothelial proliferation and angiogenesis, thereby promoting tumor growth and metastasis.
