A total of 152 strains of endophytic fungi were isolated from the barks of Eucommia ulmoides in three regions (Lueyang country, Zunyi country, Cili country). Based on morphological characteristics and analysis of ITS sequences, these strains were identified into 8 genera. Thereinto Phomopsis, Diaporthe and Alternaria were common genera to Eucommia barks from different sites. But the dominant genus was different: Alternaria was the dominant genus in the barks from Cili country, and Phomopsis was the dominant genus from Zunyi country, then Diaporthe was the one from Lueyang country. According to the similarity coefficient, the composition of the endophytic fungi was distinctly different between the barks from three sites. The diversity and species richness in Lueyang country and Cili country were found higher than those in Zunyi country. The evenness of endophytic fungi was 0.936 5 in Lueyang county, which was higher than 0.737 1 or 0.641 0 in Cili county or Zunyi county, respectively. After phylogenic analysis and calculating the genetic distances of typical strains belong to Phomopsis and its perfect stage--Diaporthe, there was very high genetic diversity in the two genera from our study. In conclusion, the community structure and diversity of endophytic fungi were significant different in Eucommia barks from the three habitats.

OBJECTIVETo observe the effect of CKJ Recipe (consisting of Cordyceps sinensis polysaccharide, amygdaloside, and gypenosides) containing serum on the activation of rat primary hepatic stellate cells (rHSCs) and to explore its pharmacological mechanism.
METHODSrHSCs were isolated form liver and cultured for four days. Then they were divided into the normal control group, the model group, and the CKJ group. rHSCs in the model group and the CKJ group were treated with 2.5 ng/mL transforming growth factor beta1 (TGF-beta1) in serum-free DMEM for 24 h. Serum free DMEM (containing no TGF-beta1) was taken as the control for the normal control group. rHSCs in the CKJ group were treated with 5% CKJ-containing serum for 24 h. rHSCs in the other two groups were treated with 5% blank serum for 24 h.The protein expression level of a smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) was determined using high throughput screening (HCS) and Western blot. mRNA expression levels of alpha-SMA, collagen I (Col-I), platelet-derived growth factor receptor beta (PDGF-betaR), TGF-beta1, transforming growth factor beta receptor 1 (TGF-betaR1), and transforming growth factor beta receptor 2 (TGF-beta R2) were detected using quantitative RT-PCR.
RESULTSCompared with the normal control group, the protein expression level of alpha-SMA, mRNA expression levels of alpha-SMA, Col-I, PDGF-betaR, TGF-beta1, TGF-betaR1, and TGF-betaR2 significantly increased in the model group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Compared with the model group, the protein expression level of alpha-SMA, mRNA expression levels of alpha-SMA, Col-I, PDGF-betaR, TGF-beta1, TGF-beta1, and TGF-beta R2 significantly decreased in the CKJ group (P<0.05, P<0.01).
CONCLUSIONCKJ containing serum could inhibit the protein expression level of o-SMA, which was probably related with inhibiting TGF-beta1 and its related receptors.

BACKGROUND: Blood hemoperfusion with resin adsorption can clean larger molecules that exceed the molecular weight cutoff of combined continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH). Hence blood hemoperfusion with resin adsorption combined CVVH (HP+CVVH) has higher ability of mediator clearance, and can improve clinical outcomes in theory. This study aimed to investigate the effect of blood hemoperfusion with resin adsorption combined continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (HP+CVVH) on plasm cytokines like TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, cellular immunity and prognosis in patients with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). METHODS: This was a prospective, randomized clinical trial. A total of 30 patients who had been diagnosed with MODS were enrolled in this study. Patients were randomly allocated to routine treatment+HP+CVVH group (treatment group) and routine treatment+only CVVH group (control group). In the treatment group, patients received blood hemoperfusion with resin adsorption for 2 hours, and then received CVVH for 10 hours every day. In the control group, patients received CVVH for 12 hours only every day. The patients in the two groups received blood purification therapy for three days. The plasma of patients in the treatment group was obtained at 0, 2, 12, 24, 26, 36, 48, 50, 60 hours, 5th day, 7th day and 10th day, respectively. The plasma of patients in the control group was obtained at 0, 12, 24, 36, 48, 60 hours, 5th day, 7th day and 10th day, respectively. APACHE II score, T-lymphocytes subpopulations, blood lactate acid concentration, heart rate, breathing rate, and oxygenation index were observed. RESULTS: Plasma cytokines like TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6 decreased markedly after HP (P<0.01);T-lymphocytes subpopulations CD3+, CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+ increased after HP+CVVH or only CVVH. The plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the two groups were not markedly different at 12, 36, and 50 hours. But on the 5th day, the plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 in the treatment group were lower than those in the control group (P<0.05). On the 28th day, 5 patients died in the treatment group, and 6 patients in the control group. CONCLUSIONS: Both HP+CVVH and CVVH can clean plasma cytokines like TNF-α, IL-1β, and IL-6, and improve cellular immunity and clinical symptoms and signs of patients. Compared with only CVVH, the plasma concentrations of TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-6 were lower on the 5th day, and patients have an increased survival rate on the 28 day in the HP+CVVH group.

OBJECTIVETo explore how NF-κB family members regulate maspin expression in prostate cancer cells.
METHODSThe expression of NF-κB subunits and maspin was detected by Western blot analysis in prostate cancer DU145, PC-3, and LNCaP cell lines. RNA interference was performed to analyze whether RelB- or RelA-deletion affectes cell death as well as the expression of NF-κB subunits and maspin. The impact of RelB-silencing in DU145 cells was investigated by flow cytometry. The regulation of RelB on maspin expression in the prostate cancer PC-3 cells was also examined via stable transfection of RelB expression plasmid.
RESULTSRelA, p50, RelB, and p52 were constitutively expressed in androgen-independent prostate cancer DU145 and PC-3 cells, while RelB had the highest expression in DU145 cells. Low expression of maspin was detected in LNCaP and DU145 cells, but elevated expression in PC-3 cells. RelB-silencing in DU145 cells by siRNA interference upregulated the endogenous expression of maspin and induced cell apoptosis (13.3±4.2)%. Overexpression of RelB in PC-3 cells inhibited the endogenous expression of maspin. RelA-silecing had no significant influence on the endogenous expression of maspin.
CONCLUSIONSThe classical and alternative NF-κB activitions are sustained in androgen-independent prostate cancer cell lines. The expressions of RelB and maspin are inversely correlated in these cancer cells. The expression of RelB negatively regulates the endogenous expression of maspin, then interferes the cell survival. RelA is not involved in the regulation of maspin expression.

Objective: In comparison with thrombus aspiration, to study the safety and effcacy of precise intracoronary retrograde thrombolysis during primary percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI).
Methods: A total of 123 consecutive patients with acute STEMI received primary PCI in our hospital from 2014-01 to 2015-12 were enrolled.The patients were randomly divided into 2 groups: RT group, the patients received precise intracoronary retrograde thrombolysis (RT),n=60 and TA group, the patients received thrombus aspiration (TA),n=63, among them, 3 patients with failed TA were excluded. Primary end points included occurrence rates of no-lfow after PCI and ST-segment resolution (STR)≥50% at (60-90) min after PCI; primary safety end points included occurrence rates of in-hospital stroke and TIMI-hemorrhage events.
Results:①Compared with TA group, RT group showed decreased no-lfow rate after PCI (1.7% vs 15.0%),P=0.008 and increased rate of STR≥50% after PCI (65.0% vs 45.0%),P=0.028, improved LVEF by echocardiography (50.7±8.6) % vs (46.7±8.3)%,P=0.011. The in-hospital MACE occurrence rate was similar between 2 groups,P>0.05.②No in-hospital stroke or TIMI-hemorrhage events occurred in neither group.
Conclusion: Intracoronary retrograde precise thrombolysis had the similar safety to thrombus aspiration during primary PCI in patients with acute STEMI, it may reduce no-relfow rate and improve left ventricular function after PCI.

Objective: To compare the efifcacy of direct and pre-dilated atherectomy (RA) for treating the patients with calciifed coronary lesions. Methods: A total of 137 coronary artery disease (CAD) patients received RA treatment in our hospital from 2010-04 to 2014-09 were retrospectively studied. The ischemic related lesions were all deifned as calciifed coronary lesions. The patients were divided into 2 groups: Direct RA group,n=81 and Pre-dilated RA group, the patients received balloon dilatation followed by RA,n=56. The procedural features, complications, in-hospital and 1 year occurrence rates of major cardiaccerebral vascular events (MACCE) were compared between 2 groups. Results: Compared with Pre-dilated RA group, Direct RA group had the less pre-stent balloon application,P=0.000 and the higher maximum post-dilatationpressure,P=0.004; lower rate of in-operative complication (14.8% vs 32.1%),P=0.016; higher rate of acute lumen gain (128.52±75.77) % vs (77.12±27.01) %,P=0.004; lower MACCE occurrencerate(7.3% vs 23.6%) at 1 year period,P=0.006.Cox regression analysis presented that the following indexes were related to MACCE occurrence within 1 year of RA treatment: balloon dilatation before RA (HR=8.166, 95% CI 1.872-35.614,P=0.005), left main disease (HR=13.649, 95% CI 2.983-62.440,P=0.001), minimum post-operative lumen area (HR=0.583, 95% CI 0.378-0.879,P=0.010), post-dilatation (HR=0.066, 95% CI 0.013-0.332,P=0.001) and EF>40% (HR=0.019, 95% CI 0.002-0.158, P=0.000). Conclusion: Direct RA had the lower MACCE occurrence rate at 1 year period, this might be related to less operative complication and the optimal lumen gain.
