Using ~(125)I-labeled anti-IL-2R_? McAb, we investigated the effect of rIL-2 R_? expression . In addition to increasing the IL-2 R_? expression the actived-lymphoblasts, we found that the higher concentration of IL-2 also directly induced the IL-2 R_? expression on the resting PBL, but the peak was at the 5th day. After treated by a higher concentration of IL-2, there was a positive interrelation of time courses between the incorporation of ~3H-TdR and/or ~3H-UR and IL-2 R_? level on resting PBL. This result indicated that it was by means of inducing IL-2 R_? expression that the higher concentration IL-2 caused the proliferation of the resting PBL.

By using 5 G 1-sepharose 4 B immune affinity column, we recovered approximately 160 ?g purified and soluble IL-2 receptor (sIL-2 R ) from 500ml PHA-stimulated human PBL supernatant. Only one band was showed in SDS-PAGE, its molecular weight was about 44 Kd. The purified sIL-2 R, which blocked the binding of anti-IL-2 R monoclonal antibody with IL- 2 R~+ cell, inhibited (at the higher doses) but enhanced (at the lower doses) the growth of IL-2 dependent cells.

Abstract Objective: To construct and express anti-IL-2R? genetically engineering antibody Fab and identify its biological activity.Methods: PCR were used to construct cloning vector 5G1-pA22 of anti-IL-2R? antibody Fab,by digestion of vector 5G1-pA22, anti-IL-2R? an-tibody Fab gene fragment was obtained and then this fragment was coupled with digesting product of pET28b plasmid by EcoRI and HindIII toget a recombinant expression vector 5G1-pET28b, it was highly expressed in the E. coli BL21(DE3) in the form of inclusion bodies, compoing20% of the total protein. After the renaturation of antibody Fab, its binding activity was identified by ELISA and antibody competitive inhibitionassay in vitro. Results: Anti-IL-2R? antibody Fab was successfully constructed and highly expressed in the form of inclusion bodies, its yield wasup to 1 mg/ml.When applied to ELISA, antibody Fab exhibited good spectfic reactivity with rIL-2R, antibody competitive inhibition assay invitro indicated that antibody Fab can compete with IL-2 for binding IL-2R in activated T cell surface.As a result,the activation and proliferationof T cells were inhibited and inhibition percentage exceeded 90%. Conclusion: Had successfully constructed and expressed anti-IL-2R? geneti-cally engineering antibody. Fab,it had good biological ativity.

Aim To study the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanisms of SBM isolated from Scutellariae radix by high hydrostatic pressure.Methods The effect of SBM on ConA-induced splenocyte proliferation and LPS-induced IL-1? production from peritoneal macrophage was studied in vitro,and the therapeutic effects of SBM on adjuvant-induced arthritis,formalin-induced paw oedema and acetic acid-induced vascular permeability were also investigated.Results SBM(31.25～500 mg?L-1)significantly inhibited ConA-induced splenocyte proliferation,IL-1? production from peritoneal macrophages in vitro.SBM 20 mg?kg-1 inhibited primary and secondary inflammatory reaction,decreased the elevated level of IL-1? released from peritoneal macrophages,inhibited splenocyte proliferation in adjuvant-induced arthritis in rats.Moreover,SBM inhibited formalin-induced paw oedema and acetic acid-induced vascular permeability.Conclusions SBM could inhibit inflammatory reaction.Its mechanisms might be related to the suppression of immune function and inhibition on proinflammatory cytokines production.

Aim To study the anti-inflammatory effects and mechanisms of SBM isolated from Scutellariae radix by high hydrostatic pressure.Methods The effect of SBM on ConA-induced splenocyte proliferation,LPS-induced PGE2 production and protein expression of COX-2 were studied in vitro,and the therapeutic effects of SBM on carragineen-induced paw oedema and acetic acid-induced twisting reaction were also investigated.Results SBM(15.63～250) mg?L-1 significantly inhibited LPS-induced PGE2 production and COX-2 enzyme activity in peritoneal macrophages in mice.SBM(125 mg?L-1)also inhibited ConA-induced protein phosphorylation of p38 MAP kinase and LPS-induced COX-2 protein expression.SBM(10,20 mg?kg-1)inhibited carragineen-induced paw oedema and acetic acid-induced twisting reaction.Conclusion SBM can inhibit inflammatory reaction.Its mechanisms may be related to the suppression of inflammatory medium production.

Objective To study the efficiency of endoscope-guided Savary bougie dilatation ( ESBD ) for strictured duodenal ulcer. Methods Forty-five patients with strictured duodenal ulcer were treated with endoscope-guided Savary bougie dilatation. The items of investigation were; easiness of passing the endo-scope through the strictured portion of duodenum, resolving of their symptoms and the complications happened after dilatation. Results The symptoms remitted and endoscope was advanced to descending portion of the duodenum through the stricture in all of 45 patients. The follow up period ranged from 6 months to 36 months. The rates of symptomatic remission were 97. 8% (44/45 ) , 97. 8% (44/45 ) , 94. 4% (34/36) , 93.7%(30/32) , 91.7% (22/24) and 87.5% (14/16) , at 6,12,18,24,30 and 36 months respectively. Recurrence of symptoms in patients without therapy was significantly higher than those with therapy. Conclusion ESBD is a safe and efficient procedure in treating the strictured duodenal ulcer.

Objective To investigate the expression pattern of hypoxia inducible factor-1?(HIF-1?) in fetal vertebra development of the mouse. Methods The development of mouse fetal vertebra was observed dynamically,and the expression of HIF-1? mRNA at various stages was also detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction. Results The cartilaginous spine column began to form at E13.5.The primary ossification center was observed at E15.5,then the osteogenesis expanded and extended to both sides.HIF-1? mRNA began to express at E13.5,and more significantly at E14.5(P

Objective To investigate the association between resting heart rate(RHR)and dyslipidemia. Methods A total of 772 subjects(average age:40. 1 ± 11.8 years;male:74. 7%)were recruited by random sampling method from medical checkup population. The survey data included resting heart rate,blood lipid and other metabolic parameters. The subjects were divided into three groups according to the RHR,as RHR ＜ 70 bpm,70 bpm ≤ RHR ＜ 80 bpm,RHR ≥ 80 bpm groups. Results RHR were positively correlated with triglyceides (TG),as well as total cholesterol(TC)(r = 0. 316 and r = 0. 110 respectively,all P value ＜ 0. 05). Low RHR had no significant correlation with HDL-C or LDL-C. The prevalences of hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia increased significantly with RHR elevation(χ2 = 7. 214 and 5. 285 respectively,all P value ＜ 0. 05). By logistic regression analysis,adjusted for BMI,gender,serum creatinine,serum uric acid,fasting blood glucose and age,we found that compared with RHR ＜ 70 bpm group,the odds ratio(OR)values for hypertriglyceridemia was 1. 540 (95%CI:1. 086-2. 185,P=0. 016)in 70 bpm≤RHR ＜80 bpm group and 1.640(95% CI:1.067 -2.523,P =0. 024)in 80 bpm ≤ RHR group,and the OR values for hypercholesterolemia was 1.197(95 % CI: 0.749 - 1.913,P=0.453)in70 bpm≤RHR ＜80 bpm group and 1.814(95% CI:1. 036-3. 177,P =0.037)in 80 bpm≤RHR group. Conclusions RHR is independently and positively correlated with the prevalence of hypertriglyceridemia and hypercholesterolemia and the blood levels of both lipid. RHR has no significant correlation with HDL-C or LDL-C level.
