Objective To discuss the influence of two recombinant hemoglobin (rHb1.1 and rHb2.0) and human serum albumin (HSA) on oxygen supply and demand balance in rat with coronary heart disease (CHD). Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group, CHD model group, HSA treatment group, rHb1.1 treatment group and rHb2.0 treatment group, 20 rats in each group. Rat model of CHD was established by high fat diet combined with pituitrin injection. The mean arterial pressure (MAP) decreased to 40 mmHg (1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa) after femoral arterial blood was drawn from the femoral arteries, and the rats were resuscitated with 13.4% HSA, rHb1.1 and rHb2.0, respectively, at the rate of 60 mL·kg-1·h-1 (20 mL/kg). The changes of electrocardiogram (ECG) ST-segment were calculated before model reproduction and at 12 hours after the last time injection of pituitrin. MAP, heart rate (HR), superior mesenteric artery blood flow (QSMA) and arterial blood gas analysis were recorded at 0, 30, 60, 90 and 120 minutes after the administration. The blood was collected after 12-hour fasting, and serum total cholesterol (TC) and triglyceride (TG) were determined by enzymatic method. The pathological changes in cardiac tissue were observed with light microscope. Results Compared with the normal control group, the changes of ECG ST-segment and TC, TG of model group were significantly increased. Compared with the model group, rHb can significantly reduce the value of ST segment changes, and HSA has no such effect; rHb short-term infusion has no significant effect on blood lipids, but can reduce myocardial pathological changes. Compared with the normal control group, the MAP of the model group decreased significantly, the HR was increased, the QSMA was slowed down, the pH value, the residual alkali (BE), the arterial carbon dioxide partial pressure (PaCO2) and HCO3- were decreased significantly. MAP in rHb1.1 group and rHb2.0 group were significantly higher than those in HSA group. Values of MAP were significantly higher in rHb2.0 group than those in rHb1.1 group at 90 minutes and 120 minutes (mmHg: 80.9±3.3 vs. 69.4±4.9, 79.2±4.0 vs. 69.1±3.7, both P < 0.05). The HR of HSA, rHb1.1 and rHb2.0 decreased to normal in 30 minutes after administration, significantly lower than those in the model group (bpm: 534±46, 518±28, 526±37 vs. 609±52, all P < 0.05). In the rHb2.0 group, the QSMA increased significantly at 60, 90 and 120 minutes compared with the model group (qv·mL-1·min-1: 5.6±0.4 vs. 3.9±0.6, 6.2±0.6 vs. 4.1±0.4, 6.9±0.7 vs. 4.0±0.3, all P < 0.05), but there was no significant difference between the HSA group and the rHb1.1 group. The pH, BE, PaCO2 did not return to the normal level after administration of HSA; pH, PaCO2 and HCO3- in the rHb1.1 group returned to normal level at 60 minutes after administration, and BE returned to normal level at 90 minutes after administration. Each index in rHb2.0 group can restore to normal levels 30 minutes ahead of. Conclusion Recombinant hemoglobin can significantly improve the oxygen supply and demand balance of rats with CHD model, can quickly and effectively correct the hypoxic state of blood metabolic acidosis, and rHb2.0 has better effect than rHb1.1.

Infectious bursal disease virus (IBDV) VP4 plays an important role in immunosuppression of host. In order to develop monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) against VP4, we vaccinated BALB/c mice with His-VP4, screened and subcloned positive clones. We established 4 hybridoma cell lines that stably secreted McAbs against VP4 and named these cell lines 3B3, 3H11, 4C8 and 4G6, respectively. We tested the dissociation constant (Kd) of these McAbs, and found that their K(d)s were 4.61 x 10(-11), 1.71 x 10(-10), 4.26 x 10(-11), 5.02 x 10(-11), respectively. The isotypes of these McAbs were determined to be IgG1, IgG1, IgG2b and IgG1. These McAbs specifically bound to VP4 in IBDV infected DF-1 cells as demonstrated by Western blotting analysis and fluorescence antibody assay. These McAbs would help to detect IBDV infection and to analyze the biological activities of IBDV VP4.

Lung cancer is one of the most common malignancies. Anti-tumor drugs with intravenous administration have systemic adverse effects as well as limited efficacy. Drugs can concentrate in lungs after pulmonary administration,which limits the distribution in the other organs and reduces the side effects of anti-tumor drugs. The paper focused on the recent progress in the studies on new dos-age forms of anti-tumor drugs for pulmonary administration for the therapy of lung cancer,so as to provide reference for the development of anti-tumor drugs for pulmonary administration.

Objectives:Primary cardiac involvement (SSc-PHI) in systemic sclerosis is an important prognostic factor. We aimed to characterize and identify subclinical SSc-PHI using cardiovascular MRI to determine whether disease severity and serum biomarkers are associated with subclinical SSc-PHI.Methods:A total of 26 patients with SSc who had no history of cardiovascular disease or pulmonary hypertension underwent 3 T-enhanced cardiovascular MRI. Measurements included native T 1, extracellular volume, advanced gadolinium enhancement, T 2 mapping, and left ventricular volume function. Troponin T and N telencephalic natriuretic peptide precursors were also determined. Results:LGE was observed in 13 of 26 patients (50.0%), suggesting focal fibrosis, and T 2 mapping was significantly higher in the dcSSc group than in the lcSSc group ( P=0.009). Left ventricular volume and function were within the normal range in all patients, but final systolic left ventricular volume was significantly higher in dcSSc than in lcSSc ( P=0.021). The modified Rodnan skin score (mRSS) was significantly higher in patients with LGE focal fibrosis ( P=0.019). Logistic regression analysis confirmed the association between mRSS and LGE ( OR=1.224, P=0.037). In multivariate analysis, T 2 mapping was negatively correlated with disease course, and was correlated with dcSSc and fingertip ulcer ( R2=0.711, P=0.018, P=0.013, P=0.030). Troponin T was correlated with T 2 mapping ( r=0.555, P=0.049). Conclusions:Subclinical SSc-PHI is characterized by diffuse and focal myocardial fibrosis, but preserves myocardial systolic function. Subclinical SSC-Phi is associated with TNT, SSc disease severity, and complex peripheral vascular disease. These data provide information for identifying individuals at risk of SSc-PHI.
