Objective To study role of MDC/CCI22-CCR4 axis in mouse milky spots with peritoneal carcinomatosis of gastric cancer. Methods We examined the expression of CCR4 in 615 Mouse gastric cancer cell (MFC) lines by RT-PCR and Western-blot; Peritoneal metastasis model on the 615mouse was established by intraperitoneal injection of 0.2 ml MFC cells(1×104 cells). Dil fluorescence was used to observe the transfer process and section of MFC. Immunohistochemistry was conducted to detect the expression of CCR4 and CCL22 in omental milky spot; the structure of Milky spot was observed by scanning electron microscopy. Mice were randomly divided into 2 groups, namely, the saline control group (received saline) and MFC group. The concentration of CCL22 in ascitic fluid was measured in the 615 mice injected MFC after 6,8,10 days and in the saline group. Results MFC first metastasizes to the milky spot on the omentum, the expression of CCR4 and CCL22 were observered in the milky spot. The surface layer cells in milky spot consisted of discontinuous mesothelial cells and mainly macrophages and lymphocytes. The average value of CCL22 was 43 pg/ml and 364 pg/ml respectively in saline control group and MFC group.Conclusions MDC/CCL22-CCR4 axis plays an important role in the development of peritoneal carcinomatosis in mouse gastric cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of different forbidden drink schemes on anesthesia induction and postoperative nausea and vomiting during pediatric interventional heart surgery.Methods One hundred and twenty pediatric patients underwent cardiac interventional procedures under general anesthesia were randomized into group A,B and C,with 40 patients in each group.Patients in cach group were fasted for 8 h preoperatively.Water was prohibited for patients in group A for 6 h preoperatively.Patients in groups B and C orally took 10％ glucose solution and a multivitamin drink (Outfast) at 2 h preoperatively,respectively.Nausea and vomiting after anesthesia induction were recorded for 24 h postoperatively.Results The sedation and mask acceptance scores were significantly higher in group B and C than those in group A,and were significantly higher in group C than those in group B (P ＜ 0.05,resoectively).Following anesthesia induction,MAP was significantly higher in group B and C than that in group A (P ＜ 0.05,resoectively).Both the severity and incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting were higher in group B and C than those in group A,and was lower in group C than that in group B (P ＜ 0.05,resoectively).Conclusions Taking clear water orally 2 hours before surgery can decrease the restlessness of pediatric interventional heart surgery during anesthesia induction period,with stable smooth hemodynamics,reducing the degree of PONV.

In this work,the Pichia pastoris expression system was applied to express the T.reesei EGⅣ.The eg4 gene was isolated from rice hull induced T.reesei culture through RT-PCR,and was ligated with the Pichia expression vector pPICZ?A,resulting in the recombinant plasmid pPICZ?A-eg4.The recombinant plasmid pPICZ?A-eg4 was then linearized and transformed into P.pastoris GS115,and the eg4 gene was in frame integrated into the Pichia genome through homologous recombination,resulting the recombinant strain P.pastoris-EGⅣ1.With methanol induction,the recombinant strain P.pastoris-EGⅣ1 expressed and secreated EGⅣ into the culture supernatant with CMC activity of 2.11U/mL.The SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the apparent molecular weight of expressed protein was about 50kD,slightly less than that produced by T.reesei.

Objective To verify whether the periodic or continuous exposure to high glucose may have different effects on human umbilical vein endothelial cell (HUVEC)apoptosis, and to explore the effect of NF-κB pathway on apoptosis of HUVEC induced by high glucose using the RNAi adenovirus vector. Methods RNAi combinant adenovirus vector which targeted 1566 site of NF-κB p65 mRNA was constructed and the effect of p65 gene knockdown in HUVEC was detected by Western blot analysis. Then, the RNAi adenovirus was transducted to explore the role of NF-κB pathway on the regulation of apoptosis in HUVEC induced by high glucose. The apoptosis of HUVEC was tested by flow cytometry and TUNEL assay. Results High glucose could induce apoptosis of HUVEC. p65 protein expression of nuclear extracts was significantly increased in high glucose culture as compared to control group, but only slightly increased in NF-κB-specific knockdown group, which maintained at basal state. Compared with normal glucose group, the number of TUNEL-positive cells in high glucose group was significantly increased (25.81%±1.77% vs 8.20%±0.63%, P<0.05). The number of TUNEL-positive cells was decreased in 30.5 rmnol/L glucose plus Ad-1566 than that in 30.5 mmol/L glucose plus Ad-DEST (11.49%±0.92% vs 26.10%±0.98%, P<0.01). Flow cytometry and TUNEL assay showed that the apoptosis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells induced by high glucose was inhibited by the RNAi adenovirus. Conclusion High glucose induces apoptosis of HUVEC. Knockdown of NF-κB p65 may protect HUVEC from apoptosis by preventing high glucose-induced NF-κB nuclear translocation.
