Objective To observe the influence of bezafibrate on the apoptosis and expression of lectin-like oxidized low density lipoprotein receptor-1(LOX-1) mediated by oxidized low density lipoprotein(ox-LDL) in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs).Methodes The apoptosis of HUVECs mediated by ox-LDL were evaluated by flow cytometry and the expression of LOX-1 mRNA were detected by RT-PCR.Results Compared with the control group,ox-LDL could increase apoptosis and the expression of LOX-1(P<0.05),and Bezafibrate could decrease the apoptosis and the expression of LOX-1 in a concentration -dependent manner(P<0.05).Preincubation of HUVECs with polyinosinic acid for 2 hours,the apoptosis and the expression of LOX-1 decreased(P<0.05).Conclusions Bezafibrate inhibits the apoptosis of HUVECs mediated by ox-LDL by reducing the expression of LOX-1,which may be part of the reasons for bezafibrate to prevent and treat atherosclerosis.

Objective To investigate the role of integrin CD11b in liver ischemia/reperfusion (I/R) injury and its possible mechanism.Method CD11b-/-and WT (C57BL/6) mice were used to establish a 70% liver warm I/R by clamping the left and median liver lobes for 60 min with vascular micro clamp at 37℃,then the clamp was removed and the abdominal incision was sutured.The blood plasma and liver samples were obtained at different time points (1,3,6,12,24 and 48 h) postreperfusion to assess liver function and cellular injury.Serum ALT and AST levels were determined,and HE staining and TUNEL assay were performed to estimate the severity of liver damage.Tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10) were assayed by Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).Kupffer cells were isolated from the live,and the reduced form of nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate (NADPH) oxidase activity and active oxygen species (ROS) production were assayed.Result CD11b-/-mice displayed a significantly preserved liver function as represented by lower alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartic transaminase (AST) levels,less histological damage and apoptosis compared to WT mice.Furthermore,TNF-α was decreased and IL-10 mRNA expression was increased in CD11b-/-mice compared to WT mice.Finally,CD11b-/-mice showed decreased activity of NADPH oxidase and less ROS production.Conclusion Integrin CD11 b may regulate the levels of inflammatory (TNF-α) and anti-inflammatory (IL-10) cytokines,enhance the activity of NADPH oxidase in Kupffer cells and enrich the production of ROS,which aggravate liver I/R injury.

AIM: To investigate the effect of dihydroartemisinin (DHA) on the proliferation of murine T lymphocytes stimulated by Con A in vitro and its related immunosuppressive mechanism. METHODS: Murine T lymphocytes were stimulated by Con A and treated with different concentrations of DHA. Cell proliferation was measured by carboxyl fluoresce in diacetate succinmidyl ester (CFDA-SE) staining. The expression of CD69, CD25 and CD71,which was the marker of early, middle, later activation of CD3~+ T lymphocytes, was measured by flow cytometry (FCM) combined with two-color immunofluorescent staining of cell surface antigen. Fluorescence calcium indicator fluo-4/AM was used to measure the change of the intracellular calcium concentration ([Ca~(2+)]_i) of murine T lymphocytes. The distribution of the cell cycle was analyzed by PI staining. The expression of CD69, the early activation antigen on CD4~+CD25~(high) Treg was also measured by FCM combined with three-color immunofluorescent staining. RESULTS: The result of CFDA-SE staining showed that DHA efficiently inhibited the Con A-induced proliferation of T-lymphocytes in a time-and dose-dependent manners. DHA showed modestly increased proportions of CD69 and CD25 on Con A-stimulated CD3~+T cells, but inhibited the expression of CD25 in a dose dependent manner. DHA with Con A, but not DHA alone, caused an increase in intracellular calcium concentration of T cells. The results of FCM analysis with PI staining showed that DHA imposed a total cell cycle arrest in G_0/G_1 and prevented cells entering S phase and G_2/M phase. Furthermore, DHA reduced the expression of CD69 on CD4~+CD25~(high) Treg. CONCLUSION: DHA, which exhibits immunosuppressive effect on the proliferation of murine T-lymphocytes, is promising to be developed as an immunosuppressive reagent.

Objective To investigate the effect of berberine anti macrophages apoptosis, initially to determine the concentration of anti-apoptosis and to explore its mechanisms of treatment in atherosclerosis (AS). Methods Apoptosis of RAW264.7 macrophages is induced by 0.5 μmol/L Tg and 50 μg/ml Fuc. The cell survival rate and apoptosis rate was detected by MIT and flow cytometry, respectively. Results There was statistical significance between the berberine group of 800 μg/ml and normal group in the cell sur-vival rate(P<0.01). With the decline in concentration of berberine, the cell apoptosis rate showed a down-ward trend, berberine (0.02-0.63 μg/ml) effectively inhibited the cell apoptosis induced by Tg and Fuc. Conclusion Berberine group has little impact on the cell proliferation. Berberine can effectively inhibit the cell apoptosis induced by Tg and Fuc.

Background Reasearches showed that α-melanocyte-stimulating hormone (α-MSH) inhibits inflammation and ameliorates the ocular surface abnormalities in a scopolamine-induced dry eye rat model,and the managing effect of sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) on dry eyes also has been determined.However,whether α-MSH can enhance the therapeutic effects of CMC remains to be investigated.Objective This study was to investigate the protective effects of α-MSH combined with CMC on ocular surface in a scopolamine-induced dry eye rat model.Methods Sixty clean female Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group,model control group,NaCl group,CMC group,α-MSH group and α-MSH+CMC group,and 10 rats for each group.The dry eye models were established by subcutaneous injection of scopolamine hydrobromide at 9:00,12:00,15:00 and 18:00 per day for 28 days.0.9% NaCl solution,1×10 3 mg/ml α-MSH solution,0.5% CMC eye drop,and 1 ×10-3 mg/ml α-MSH+0.5% CMC solution were topically administered twice a day (8:00,17:00) since the initial day of modeling according to grouping.Shirmer Ⅰ test (S Ⅰ t),breakup time of tear film (BUT) and corneal fluorescence staining were performed before and 7,14,21,28 days after the application of drugs.At 28 days following the administration of drugs,the eyeballs of the rats were collected.Hemotoxylin and eosin staining was employed to examine the morphology of corneas,and periodic acid schiff (PAS) staining was used to count the conjunctival goblet cells.This study protocol was approved by Experimental Animal Ethic Committee of Tianjin Medical University (SYXK 2009-0001),and the use and care of the rats complied with ARVO Statement.Results The S Ⅰ t and BUT values were significantly reduced,and the corneal fluorescence staining scores were significantly increased over time following modeling in the model control group (all at P<0.01).No significant differences were found in the S Ⅰ t,BUT and corneal fluorescence staining scores between model control group and NaCl group at various time points (all at P>0.05).At 7,14 and 21 days after intervention,the S Ⅰ t values were (4.800±0.789),(4.100±0.516) and (4.300±0.856) mm in the α-MSH+CMC group,which were considerably higher than (2.875 ±0.719),(2.375 ±0.619) and (2.532±0.957)mm in the NaCl group (all at P<0.01).At 7 days after intervention,the BUT values were (4.938± 1.843) seconds and (5.000±1.491) seconds in the α-MSH group and α-MSH+CMC group,which were significantly higher than (3.250±1.000) seconds in the NaCl group (both at P<0.01).The corneal fluorescence staining scores in the CMC group,α-MSH group and α-MSH+CMC group were significantly lower than that in the NaCl group,with the lowest score in the α-MSH +CMC group (all at P<0.05).The thickening of corneal epithelial layer,corneal edema and arrangement disorder of corneal stroma were found in the model control group and NaCl group;while slight corneal edema and epithelial cell proliferation were exhibited in the α-MSH+CMC group by hemotoxylin and eosin staining.PAS staining showed that the number of goblet cells was much more in the CMC group,α-MSH group and α-MSH+ CMC group than that in the model control group and NaCl group (all at P < 0.01).Conclusions The sole application of α-MSH or CMC alleviates ocular surface damage and morphological abnormality to certain extent,and the combination of α-MSH and CMC generates more effective protection in comparison with sole administration of α-MSH or CMC.The early application of the drugs plays an improvement role in tear secretion and tear film stability in dry eyes.

Objective To study the effects of nerocutneous vessels on perforator flap blood supply and survival area. Methods Thirty SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. The study of the vasculature and nerve disposition of rat dorsum was performed with 10 rats of one group. According to the study,a distal rectangle neurocutaneous flap based on deep circumflex iliac artery perforator, 10 cm long and 3 cm in the width, was elevated on the rest rats, and sutured back to the original situation. The axis of the experimental group's flap paralleles the posterior median line,while the control group flap's angulated about 30° with it. The blood flow of the flap was assessed by fluorescein angiography on the 1st and 7th day after surgery. The surviving rate and the capillary density of flap were assessed on the 7th day after surgery. Results The rat deep circumflex iliac perforator artery was a constant perforator artery, with an nutrition area about 4 cm× 3 cm. The dorsal cutaneous nerves run along the dorsomedian line, nourished by rich vessels. The blood perfusion 1st day after surgery was 42.85% in the experimental group, 37.94% in the control group(P > 0.01 ).On the 7th day, it was 84.07% in the experimental group, 58.55% in the control group (P< 0.01). The mean survival rate of the experimental group was 83.93%, higher than control group's 59.95% (P<0.01),and the density of the blood vessels was higher in experimental group than control group's. Conclusion The neurocutaneous vessels can improve the flap survival condition, which make the perforator flap bigger and safer.
