Objective To investigate dexamethasone on airway inflammation and CD4+ CD25 + regulatory T cells (CD4+ CD25 +Tr) of asthmatic rats,and elucidate the possible mechanism of dexamethasone in treatment of asthma.Methods 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group,asthma group and dexamethasone-treated group.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was collected,and cytology study was conducted.The lung tissue was obtained and pathologic analysis was done through HE stain.Flow eytometry was used to detect the CD4+ CD25 +Tr ratio in PBMCs.Results Total cells number,the percentage of lymphocytes,neutrophils and eosinophils (Eos)in BALF of dexamethasone-treated group were lower than that of asthma group (P＜0.05,P＜0.01).Compared with the asthma group,less infiltration of inflammatory cells in lung tissues was observed in the dexamethasone-treated group.CD4+ CD25 + Tr of asthma group was lower than that of control and dexamethasone-treated group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Dexamethasone could suppress airway inflammation of asthmatic rats,which probably be due to increasing the number of CD4+ CD25 + Tr.

Objective To investigate the immunological mechanism of inhibitory effect of Danshen injection combined with dexamethasone(DXM) on asthmatic airway inflammation.Methods 50 Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control(NC),asthma,Danshen,DXM and Danshen+DXM group.Cytology study of Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) was conducted.Pathology of lung tissue was done through HE.Flow eytometry was used to detect CD4+CD25+ regulatory T Cells(CD4+CD25+ Treg) ratio in peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMCs).IL-4 and IL-5 levels in BALF were detected by ELISA.Results Total cells number,percentage of lymphocytes,neutrophils and eosinophils(Eos) in BALF of the three treated groups were lower than that in asthma group(P<0.05,P<0.01),particularly in Danshen+DXM group,which showed significant difference as compared with the other two treated groups(P<0.05).There was severe inflammation in lung tissue of asthma group,moderate inflammation in Danshen group and DXM group,and no inflammation of Danshen+DXM group.CD4+CD25+ Treg/CD4+ T ratio in the three treated groups were higher than that in asthma group,and the levels of IL-4 and IL-5 were lower than those in asthma group(P<0.05).In Dansben+DXM group,it showed significant difference on the change of CD4+CD25+ Treg,IL-4 and IL-5 as compared with other treated groups(P<0.05).Conclision Danshen injection combined with DXM could suppress airway inflammation in asthmatic rats,which may be through increasing the expression of CD4+CD25+ Treg,decreasing the levels of IL-4 and IL-5 and resuming the balance of Th1/Th2.

Although chemotherapy is an effective way for advanced gastric cancer ,it does not significant-ly improve the prognosis of patients .Recently ,further researches on the mechanism of gastric cancer have led to the identification of ′driver gene′and the development of new agents that target these genes .By inhibiting the hu-man epidermal growth factor receptor 2(Her-2)for advanced gastric cancer ,it provides a new treatment for pa-tients.Trastuzumab is a kind of Her -2 monoclonal antibody ,it is the first kind of targeted therapy drug for the treatment of advanced and metastatic gastric cancer .A combination of trastuzumab with cisplatin and fluorouracil based chemotherapy can benefit patients overall survival .Therefore,in this paper,we make a review and summary of a set of recent studies related to the gastric targeted therapy .

Objective To investigate the role of cAMP-PKA signal transduction pathway in the ischemie pleeonditioning-induced attenuation of ischemia.1eperfusion(ITR)injury in isohted rat hearts.Methods Fifty healthy adult SD rats weighing 300-350 g were anesthetized with intraperitoneal(IP)pentobarbital 50 meg/kg.Their he.arts were excised and perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with 37℃ oxygenated(95%O2-5%CO2)modified K-H solution at a constant pressure of 70 cm H2O,and randomly divided into 5 groups(n=10 each):group Ⅰ I/R;group Ⅱ ischemic preconditioning(IPC);groupⅢH89(PKA inhibitor);group Ⅳ PDTC(NF-κB inhibitor)and group Ⅴ db-cAMP.The experiment started after 10 min stabilization.The isolated hearts were tinct perfuzed for 30 min.followed by 60 min ischemia and 30 min leperfusion in group I/R(Ⅰ).Group IPC(Ⅱ)w88 subjected to 3 episodes of 5 min ischemia at 5 min intervals before I/R.Group Ⅲ and Ⅳ received 5 min perfnsion withH89 10 μmol/L and PDTC 100 μmol/L 3 times at 5 min intervals respectively before I/R.Group Ⅴ was peffnsed with db-cAMP 200 μmol/L for 30 min before I/R.Left ventricular developed pressure(LVDP)and ± dp/dtu were measured at stabilization period and 10, 20, 30 rain of reperfusion. Coronary flow (CF) was measured at stabilization period and 30 min of reperfusion and activities of LDH and creafinc kinase (CK) in the coronary effluent were determined. The myocardial specimens were obtained at 30 rain of reperfusion for determination of NF-κB-DNA binding activity (by EMSA) and expression of TNF-κ mBNA (by RT-PCR ) and p-CBEB (Ser133) (by Western blot). Results Compared with 1/R group, NF-κB-DNA binding activity and TNF-α mRNA expression were significandy decreased, ± dp/dt and CF were significandy increased, CK and LHD activities in the coronary effluent were significantly decreased in group IPC and db-cAMP (group Ⅱ , Ⅴ ) and p-CREB (Ser133) expression was significantly increased in group IPC, PDTC and db-cAMP (group Ⅱ , Ⅳ,Ⅴ ). Compared with IPC group, NF-κB-DNA binding activity and TNF-α mBNA expression were significantly increased, ± dp/dtmax, LVDP and CF were significantly decreased, CK and LDH activities were significantly increased in group H89 and PDTC (group Ⅲ, Ⅳ ) and p-CREB (Ser133) expression was significantly decreased in group H89(group Ⅲ ). Conclusion lschemic preconditioning can attenuate I/R injury in isolated hearts by inhibition of NF-κB-DNA binding activity via cAMP-PKA signal transduction pathway which reduces gene transcription of inflammatory cytokine.
