This paper reports the sensitizing effect of Hematoporphyrin Derivative (HPD) to Radiotherapy (RT) and long survival rates of 28 patients were treated by HPD 5mg/kg iv+D T31Gy/10f/12d+Surgery with squamous cell carcinoma in head and neck. The result was compared with 33 patients who received routine preoperative radiotherapy D T40Gy/20f/26d without HPD.The total HPD group were 44.4%(13/28) of this patients failed to evidence of living tumour cell within surgical specimens. 59.09%(13/22) of patients with the tumour diameter of 4cm in HPD group. The control group was 9.1% only (P

0.05). Conclusion The changes of serum protein electrophoresis results in the parturient women were mainly presented with the decreased in albumin and ? globin levels, increased percent of ? 1,? 2 and ? globins, increased percent of ? 2 and ? globins markedly related with increased ? and ? lipoprotein. Agarose gel electrophoresis as a screening method for component of serum proteins is valuable.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevailing strains of pathogens of hospital acquired infections in ICU and their drug-resistances in order to provide treatment basis for critical and severe patients in fighting against infection.METHODS A retrospective investigation analysis was made for all the isolated bacteria as well as their drug-resistance in our hospital from Jan 2000 to Dec 2005.RESULTS Totally 869 bacterial strains were isolated which included 666 strains of G-bacteria(74.3%),and 230 strains of G+bacteria(25.7%).The G-bacteria included Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Klebsiella pneumoniase,Escherichia coli,Acinetobacter baumannii,etc,which were isolated mainly from respiratory tract.The G+ bacteria consisted of Staphylococcus and Enterococcus.Staphylococcus were mainly isolated from respiratory tract and Enterococcus from urinary tract.Bacteria were highly resistant to commonly used antimicrobials and demonstrated multi-drug resistance.The isolated rate of G+bacteria and drug resistance of G-bacteria to the commonly used antibiotics was increasing yearly.CONCLUSIONS The pathogens are mainly isolated from respiratory tract and the most are G-strains and multi-drug-resistant.The selection and use of antibiotics should be based on the results of drug-sensitivity tests.

Objective To investigate the correlation between plasma pentraxin 3 (PTX3)and cardiovascular disease(CVD) in maintenance hemodialysis(MHD) patients.Methods Plasma was obtained from 98 MHD patients before and after a session of HD and 50 age-matched healthy subjects.Plasma PTX3 was measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbant assay (ELISA).Spearman correlation and linear regression were used to examine the correlation between plasma PTX3 level and other laboratory parameters.Binary Logistic regression was used to assess the correlation between plasma PTX3 level and CVD.Receiver operator characteristic (ROC) curve was used to analyze the correlation among PTX3, high sensitive C-reactive protein(hsCRP) and CVD.Results Plasma PTX3 level was significantly higher in MHD patients compared to healthy controls [1.87 (1.34-2.50) μg/L vs 1.11(0.86-1.51) μg/L, P＜0.01], and increased after a single HD session[post-HD 2.18(1.80-3.14) μg/L vs pre-HD 1.87(1.34-2.50) μg/L, P＜0.01].Patients with CVD had higher concentrations of PTX3 than those without CVD[2.18 (1.48-2.74) μg/L vs 1.76 (1.25-2.26) μg/L, P＜0.05].High plasma PTX3 (＞1.87 μg/L) was positively and independently associated with CVD[OR=3.15, 95％CI(1.17-8.50), P＜0.05].ROC curve analysis showed the PTX3 was more closely correlated to CVD than hsCRP in MHD patients with hsCRP ＞3 mg/L, and the area under the curve of PTX3 and hsCRP was 0.655 ±0.083(P＜0.05) and 0.562±0.083(P＞0.05) respectively.Plasma PTX3 level was negatively correlated with body mass index (ρ=-0.248,P＜0.05), pre-albumin(ρ=-0.218, P＜0.05), total cholesterol(ρ=-0.265, P＜0.01), triglyceride (ρ=-0.246, P＜0.05), LDL-cholesterol (ρ=-0.254, P＜0.05), hemoglobin (ρ=-0.212, P＜0.05), and positively with erythropoietin dose per week(ρ=0.184, P＜0.01), cardiac troponin T (ρ=0.287,P＜0.01), carotid artery intima-media thickness (ρ=0.294, P＜0.05).Conclusions PTX3 level ismarkedly elevated in HD patients.HD procedure induces PTX3 elevation.Plasma PTX3 could be auseful marker of CVD risk factors in MHD patients.

Objective To investigate protective effects of schisandra lignans on doxorubicin-induced liver injury in rats. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into six groups: normal control, model control, vitamin C and schisandra lignans at small, middle, and high doses. The liver injury model was established by intraperitoneal injection of doxorubicin. Normal controls were intragastrically administrated with 0. 9%sodium chloride solution,while other groups were administrated with different medications,respectively. Interleukin-10 (IL-10) in serum,nitric oxide (NO) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) in liver tissue homogenate were measured. Histopathological changes in hepatic tissues were also observed. Results Serum IL-10 and tissue NO were obviously lower in the model control group than those in other groups,while those in all schisandra lignans treated groups were significantly improved (P<0. 05, P<0. 01). The AST level in schisandra lignans middle- and high dose groups was (372. 58±105. 80) and (327. 92±42. 80) U·g-1 ,respectively,significantly lower than (565. 07±22. 13) U·g-1 in the model control group (P<0. 05,P<0. 01). Histopathological analysis showed that degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes were remarkably alleviated in all schisandra lignans treated groups. Conclusion Schisandra lignans protect rats against doxorubicin-induced liver injury.

AIM: To evaluate the implication of CXCL10-loop3-EGF fusion protein for the activities of targeting tumor and anti-angiopoiesis. METHODS: RT-PCR was preformed to amplify CXCL10 coding sequence from PBMC activated by IFN-γ. CXCL10-loop3-EGF fusion gene, which was conducted by Over-Lap Extention PCR, was hinged up with plasmid pTG19-T, transfected to E. coli DH5α and processed positive colony selection. After ligated with plasmid pET32a(+), recombinant CXCL10-loop3-EGF fusion gene was then transfected to E. coli Origami B (DE3) and induced to express its coding fusion protein his-CXCL10-loop3-EGF. The recombinant fusion protein CXCL10-loop3 -EGF was purified by His-bind affinity chromatograph, enterokinase cleavage, ultrafiltration and dislysis. The transwell chemotatic test and HUVEC angiopoiesis inhibition test were performed to determine the anti-tumor responses and anti-angiopoiesis activity of CXCL10-loop3-EGF fusion protein. RESULTS: CXCL10-loop3-EGF fusion protein was successfully constructed and confirmed by SDS-PAGE analysis and Western blotting. Significant PBMC chematatic activity and HUVEC anti-angiopoiesis activity were observed. CONCLUSION: CXCL10-loop3-EGF fusion protein, which has perfect anti-tumor activity, is successfully constructed.

AIM: To investigate the immunologic mechanism of CXC chemokine ligand 10(CXCL10) and its receptor CXC chemokine receptor 3 (CXCR3 ) involved in the process of endometriosis (EM). METHODS: Serum samples were collected from 3 groups; EM patients without operation (n = 76) , EM patients with operation (n = 10) and the normal control persons (n =76). CXCL10 and CA12S concentrations were detected by means of ELISA and chemilumino-metry. Cell surface antigens on the activated PBMC - CD3 and CXCR3, as well as CXCR3 subgene - CXCR3A and CX-CR3B were tested by flow cytometry (FC) and RT - PCR when PBMC was separated from women with EM ( n = 10) and without EM (n = 10), and then activated. RESULTS: Serum CXCL10 concentrations between three groups were signifi-canly different (P < 0.05). Compared to normal control group, although the supernatant CXCL10 concentration and CD3~+ /CXCR3~+ PBMC number in EM group has no significant difference (P >0.05) , highly expressed CXCR3B in EM group rather than CXCR3A was observed. CONCLUSION: CXCL10 in women with EM is low, indicating that it plays a vital role in the process of EM and immune system of the women with EM is defected and impaired. The immunoreactivity of PBMC from both EM patients and normal person is same to activated signal, but the productions are different: PBMC in EM group mainly express CXCR3B but PBMC in normal person mainly express CXCR3A after activation, which may be one of the immune mechanisms that EM escapes from immunological lethal effect of the infected host.

Objective To investigate the effect of genistein (gen) on the secretion of vascular endo-thelial growth factor (VEGF) and matrix metalloproteinases (MMPs-1, 2, 3, 9) by fibroblast-like synoviocytes (FLS) from rats with collagen Ⅱ induced arthritis (CIA). Methods The CIA was induced by collagen Ⅱ and complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA) into rats. The rats were scored based on the arthritis index(AI) once a week. At the sixth week, the X-ray of joints was taken. The synovial tissues from knee joints were examined pathologically. The primary fibroblast-like synowocytes were separated from the synovial tissue by collagenase digestion and cultured. Then the expression of VCAM-1 was estimated by flow cytometry. After adding gen (100, 200, 400 μmol/L) at different concentrations into the FLS, VEGF and MMP-1, 2, 3, and 9 of the supernatants were tested by indirect ELISA. Results After 3 days of type Ⅱ collagen and CFA injec-tion, the rats started to catch arthrocele and their arthritis index increased gradually. The arthrocele was most remarkable at the 3rd week. The AI, X-ray and pathological examination indicated that the model group were significantly different from the control group. After the synoviocytes were cultured to the 4th generation, the expression of VCAM-1 was as high as about 85.5%. It showed that most synoviocytes were changed to fibro-blast-like synoviocytes. Different concentrations of gen (100, 200, 400 μmol/L) added to FLS were compared and revealed that the VEGF and MMP-1, 2, 3, and 9 in the supematants were suppressed evidently and in a dose-dependent manner. Conclusion The CIA model can be successfully constructed by collagen type Ⅱ and CFA. Tthe primary FLS of rats' joint can be separated and cultured well by collagenase digestion. Certain levels of gen can suppress the secretion of VEGF and MMP-1, 2, 3 and 9 hy FLS. The affect is dose-depen-dent.
