Objective To evaluate the feasibility of leucovorin(LCV) rescue protocol defined by us,we compared the plasma concentrations,toxicity,LCV doses of different high doses methotrexate(HD-MTX).Methods Seventeen children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia and 1 children with non-Hodgkin′s lymphoma were randomly treated with total 43 courses of HD-MTX.MTX plasma concentrations were measured by fluorescence polarization immuno-assay.Different LCV rescue protocols were prospectively defined for 3 kinds of HD-MTX protocols.Adjusting LCV dose by plasma MTX concentrations.Results No irreversible MTX-related toxicity was observed in all patients.Significant differences of mean steady-state plasma concentrations(Cpss) and total rescue doses were found between 3 groups(P

Objective To reverse P-glycoprotein-mediated muhiple drug resistance using RNA interference(RNAi)in cultured rat astrocytes.Methods Astroeytes overexpressing P-glyeoprotein induced by coriaria lactone were transfected with the short-hairpin RNA expression vector-p-SIREN shuttle designed to target Mdrl mRNA.The mRNA level of Mdrl gene was evaluated by real-time PCR;the P-glycoprotein was examined by immunocytochemistry and image analysis,meanwhile the rhodamine efflux was assessed by flow cytometry.Results The astrocyte model overexpressing P-glycoprotein were established and successfully transfected with the short-hairpin RNA expression vector-p-SIREN shuttle.The mRNA level of Mdrl gene was knocked down by 67.70%(P

Objective To observe the changes of expressions of glucose transporter 1,3 gene(GLUT1 mRNA and GLUT3 mRNA) in hippocampus after hypoxic-ischemic brain damage in newborn rats and effects of progesterone on them.Methods Forty SD rats(7-day-old) were divided randomly into 4 groups:normal group,sham operation group,hypoxic-ischemic group and progesterone group.Rats were subjected to right common carotid artery ligation and exposed to 80 mL/L oxygen and 920 mL/L nitrogen gas for 2 hours to establish hypoxic-ischemic model in hypoxic-ischemic group and progesterone group.The rats in sham operation group only received right common carotid artery ligation.Progesterone(8 mg/kg) or sesame oil(of same volume) was given intraperitonealy in progesterone group or other groups 30 minutes before operation.All rats were killed 24 hours after operations.The expressions of GLUT1 mRNA and GLUT3 mRNA in hippocampus of rats in every group were assessed by adopting RT-PCR technique.Results The expressions of GLUT1 mRNA and GLUT3 mRNA in the hypoxic-ischemic group(0.674?0.083,0.785?0.093) increased markedly compared with those in sham operated group(0.374?0.061,0.519?0.060)(Pa0.05).Conclusions Progesterone maintain the energy supply of the brain by up-regulating the expression of GLUT1 mRNA and GLUT3 mRNA and accelerating the transportation of glucose into brain,which may be one of the protective mechanisms.

Objective: To study the influence of inflammatory cytokine TNF-? on the expression of adhesion molecules and specific markers of rat MSCs, and to study the optimal stimulation of MSCs with inflammatory factors in inducing adhesion molecule expression which promotes migration of MSCs to the ischemic area in liver. Methods: The MSCs stimulated with different concentration of TNF-? were detected for adhesion molecules and stem cells markers on cell surface with the method of flow-cytometry, MSCs which were stimulated with the optimal concentration of TNF-? and labeled with 1, 1-Dioctadecyl-3, 3, 3, 3-tetramethylindocarbocyanine Iodade(DiI)were delivered intravenously to the rats whose liver was injured by ischemia, the liver function of the experimented animals were tested, and liver samples in the ischemic area were obtained, the number of MSCs was counted under a fluorescent microscope. Results: Stimulated with TNF-?, MSC ex-pression of VCAM-1 increased, while that of stem cell markers did not change markedly. Exposed to lower concentration of TNF-?, the adhesion ability of MSCs obviously increased and more MSCs rested in the ischemic areas in the rat liver, compared to the control groups. Conclusions: TNF-? can increase the expression of VCAM-1 on rat MSCs while exert little effect on the stem cell character of MSCs. Suitable concentration of TNF-? can promote MSCs migration to the damaged tissue, which provides rationale for the treatment of liver disease.
