Objective To know the mechanism of the adverse effect of formaldehyde on cortex neurons. Methods In the present study, incubation of postnatal Wistar rat cortex neurons in culture with formaldehyde at 1.0, 2.0, 4.0, 8.0 mg/L (medium) was carried out to have knowledge of the effect of formaldehyde on the expressions of GluR2 and GABAR. For keeping the given concentration of formaldehyde, formaldehyde was added to the medium every hour for 4 consecutive hours. Results Immunocytochemistry showed a significant down-regulation of GluR2 and up-regulation of GABAR after 4 consecutive hours of formaldehyde treatment compared with the control (P

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells(MDSCs) are heterogeneous cells derived from myeloid progenitor cells and immature myeloid cells(IMCs) in bone marrow;they are the progenitors of dendritic cells(DCs),macrophages and granulocytes.MDSCs proliferate in the blood,spleen,and tumor tissues in tumor-bearing mice and in the peripheral blood and tumor tissues in patients with cancer.MDSCs prevent tumors from attacks by body immunosurveillance and promote tumors progression through inhibiting both innate and adaptive antitumor immunity by a variety of pathways;they are recruited to the peripheral tissues from bone marrow and exert their inhibitory effects on antitumor immunity after activation in peripheral tissues.Chronic inflammation-related cytokines produced by tumors play crucial roles in the recruitment and activation of MDSCs.Progress has been made in antitumor therapies targeting MDSCs.But it has only been 10 years since the discovery of MDSCs,and many questions remain to be answered through experimental and clinical investigations.This review focuses on progress in MDSCs and its subsets,the recruitment and activation of MDSCs,the mechanisms of MDSCs-mediated immunosurveillance and antitumor treatment targeting MDSCs.

Objective To know the effect of ultraviolet A on energy metabolism in the cells in culture by using the primary cultured postnatal rat cortex neurons for in which there are many mitochondria. Methods The primary cultured postnatal SD rat cortex neurons in 60 mm dishes were exposed to UVA in a chamber in doses of 0, 3, 6 and 9 J/cm2 respectively. The exposure was followed by 4 hours culture and then the activity of cytochrome oxidase (COX) in the single neuron was determined by cytochemisty, the quantitative analysis was done with Image-Pro plus 4.0. Results In every exposure groups, after UVA exposure followed by 4 hours culture, no significant changed vital signs were found under the microscope, the activity of COX in the neurons significantly decreased compared with the control and a dose-response relationship was presented. Conclusion Low level UVA exposure may cause obvious energy metabolism decrease in the cells in culture before the significant changed vital signs are seen.

Objective To observe the effect of acupuncture and auricular application in the treatment of puerperal hypogalactia.Methods 300 patients with puerperal hypogalactia,according to the principle of random, balanced,together,were divided into 3 groups:Chinese herbal medicine group and acupuncture combined with auricular group and massage group,each group in 1 00cases.Collected patients'informed consent,and obtained the hospital ethics committee approval.The clinical curative effect was observed.Results After 3 days,in the Chinese herbal medicine group 34 cases recovered,24 cases were markedly effective,efficient in 1 5 cases,27 cases were invalid.In the massage group 7 cases recovered,1 3 cases had marked effect,1 5 cases were effective,ineffective in 65 cases.In the acupuncture combined with auricular group 73 cases cured,1 3 cases were markedly effective,effective in 9 cases, 5 cases were ineffective.The total effective rate between the acupuncture combined with auricular group and Chinese herbal medicine group had significant difference(χ2 =9.600,P <0.01 ).The total effective rate between the acupuncture combined with auricular group and the massage group had significant difference (χ2 =1 3.400,P <0.01 ).The total effective rate between Chinese herbal medicine group and massage group had significant difference (χ2 =6.400,P <0.01 ).Conclusion Acupuncture and auricular application has obvious curative effect for patients with postpartum hypogalactia.

Objective: To investigate the mechanisms involved in the induction of antitumor immune responses by MIF gene- modified tumor vaccine. Methods: The changes of the number and the functions of macrophages from the force immunized with MIF gene-modified FBI3 tumor vaccine were analysed.Results: The number,the expression of surface molecules associated with immune responses, the secretion of TNF-?and NO, the phagocytosis, the cytototicity and the antigen presenting activity of peritoneal macrophages from the mice immunized with MIF gene-modified tumor vaccine were all enhanced. Conclusion: The functional enhancement of macrophages is related to MIF secreted by MIF gene-modified tumor vaccine in vivo and the activation of macrophage may play an important role in the antitumor immune responses induced by MIF gene-modified tumor vaccine.

Objective To survey symptom occurrence degree of maintenance hemodialysis (MHD) patients,and its related factors,and to provide a basis for clinical symptom management. Methods A total of 142 MHD patients were selected with convenience sampling method from a hospital in Ningxia from July 2015 to September 2015 and investigated with the Dialysis Symptom Index ,the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index and the family Adaptation,Partnership,Growth,Affection and Resolve(APGAR)Scale. Results The occurrence rate of various symptoms ranged from 53.5%to 92.3%. Fatigue(92.3%),itching(86.6%)and dry skin(85.9%)were the top three prevalent symptoms. Fatigue (30.3%),difficulty falling asleep (27.5%),hyposexuality (27.5%) and trouble in sleeping deeply(27.5%)were the most serious symptoms.Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that gender,nationality,sleep quality,combining with hypertension and arrhythmia had significant influence on the occurrence degree of symptom in MHD patients(P < 0.05). Conclusion Symptoms in MHD patients are preva-lent. Efficient symptom management should be performed to improve the quality of life of MHDpatients.

Objective: To investigate the difference between the uptake of different hydrophobe drugs into the O/W microemulsion systems and micellar solutions. Methods:Based on the phase diagram,the incorporation of 3 poorly water soluble drugs into Cremophor RH-40-alchohol-isopropyl myristate-water microemulsions and Cremophor RH-40 surfactant systems were examined. Results: There was no significant difference between miconazole nitrate and indometacin into the O/W microemulsion systems and micellar preparation.There was,however,a significant increase in the micellar solutions of ibuprofen amount than in the microemulsion systems. Conclusion:Improvement of solubility by O/W microemulsion and micellar system depends on the solubility of the drug in the dispersed oil phase and is significant only for high lipophilic drugs.

Objective To investigate the role of poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase (PARP) inhibitor PJ34 in regulating blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and matrix metalloproteinases-9 (MMP-9) expression in a mouse model of traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods A total of 136 adult male BALB/c mice were randomly divided into sham-operated group,injured group and PJ34-treated group according to the random number table.Controlled cortical impact in mice was established.At 6 and 24hours postinjury,neurological deficit was evaluated,including motor,sensory,reflex and beam balance tests ; BBB permeability and brain water content were detected using Evans blue test and gravimetric technique; brain contusion volume was measured using HE staining; levels of MMP-9 in cytosolic fractions were detected using Western blotting.Results At 6 and 24 hours postinjury,neurological severity score in PJ34-treated group (8.00 ± 0.26,7.50 ±0.25) were lower than those in injured group (12.50 ±0.39,11.80 ± 0.32) ; brain contusion volume in PJ34-treated group [(11.25 ± 0.91) mm3,(13.55 ±1.06) mm3] was lower than those in injured group [(25.37 ± 1.75) mm3,(28.24 ± 1.51) mm3] ; BBB permeability in PJ34-treated group [(440.08 ± 3.10) μg/mg,(860.46 ± 3.86) μg/mg] was lower than those in injured group [(936.96 ± 4.71) μg/mg,(1 302.23 ± 5.89) μg/mg] (all P ＜ 0.01).Brain water content lowered significantly in PJ34-treated group than in injured group at 6 hours postinjury [(80.77 ± 0.76) ％ vs (82.55 ± 0.73) ％,P ＜ 0.0l],but between-group difference was not significant at 24 hours postinjury.Lower levels in MMP-9 were also observed in PJ34-treated group compared with injured group at 6 and 24 hours postinjury(P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion PARP inhibitor PJ34 can attenuate MMP-9 up-regulation,inhibit BBB injury and hence protect the brain against TBI in mice.
