Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of siRNA human telomerase transcriptase (hTERT) on activity of telomerase and proliferation of lung carcinoma cell A549. Methods A plasmid including U6 promoter and siRNA of hTERT was designed and constructed. The plasmid was transfected into A549 cell line. The telomerase activity was tested by telomerase repeat amplification protocol ELISA (TRAP-ELISA). MTT assay was used to assay the cell proliferation activity,and hTERT expression was assessed by Western blot. Result The U6 expression plasmid that was constructed for hTERT gene 745 showed obvious interfering effect. hTERT-siRNA could down-regulate the expression of hTERT protein,inhibit telomerase activity and proliferation of A549 cells. Conclusion siRNA of hTERT can inhibit the expression of human telomerase and proliferation of A549 cells. It may open a new approach to the use of siRNA as a new tool to study gene function in cancer cell lines,and may be developed to be a new gene therapeutic agent for cancer.

Objective To evaluate the effects of interleukin-10 and dexamethasone on expression of TNF-? mRNA, IL-1? mRNA, and IL-1ra mRNA in acute lung injury (ALI). Methods A rat model of ALI was reproduced by intratracheal instillation of endotoxin (LPS) with a dose of 10mg/kg. 72 male S-D rats were randomly divided into control group, LPS group, LPS+IL-10 group, and LPS+Dex group, 18 rats in each group (6 rats at 2h, 6h, and 24h respectively). RT-PCR method was used to determine the expression of TNF-? mRNA, IL-1? mRNA, and IL-1ra mRNA in lung tissue. Results In LPS group TNF-? mRNA expression peaked at 2h, then decreased sharply; IL-1? mRNA expression increased markedly at 2h, peaked at 6h, then decreased; IL-1ra mRNA expression increased and peaked at 6h, and remained higher than control group at 24h. Both IL-10 and Dex inhibited TNF-? mRNA and IL-1? mRNA expression, but with no effect on IL-1ra mRNA expression. Pathological examination revealed that IL-10 or Dex attenuated injury to lung parenchyma. Conclusions The up-regulation of expression of both TNF-? mRNA and IL-1? mRNA was much earlier than that of the expression of IL-1ra mRNA, suggesting that there was an imbalance of inflammatory and anti-inflammatory mediators in the early phase of ALI. Both IL-10 and Dex could inhibit the expression of inflammatory mediators and exert no effect on the expression of anti-inflammatory mediators, thus contributing a balance effect between them and relieving ALI in rats.

Objective To investigate the effects of anti-sense hTERT on the expression of VEGF and the receptor in SGC7901 cells, and study the influence in angiogenesis and progression in gastric carcinoma. Methods SGC7901 cell line was transfected by the recombinant virus containing sense and anti-sense hTERT cDNA. Then the expression of VEGF-C and Flt-4 was observed with RT-PCR, distribution of cell cycles was determined with flow cytometry. The expression of VEGF-C and Flt-4 protein was assessed with immunohistochemistry. Result The distribution of cell cycle of antisense hTERT transfected SGC7901 cells was changed, and the mRNA and protein expression of VEGF-C and Flt-4 was significantly down-regulated. Conclusion Anti-sense hTERT can act as an agent for inhibiting VEGF-C and Flt-4 mRNA and protein level, and it blocks tumor angiogenesis and lymphogenous metastasis.

This paper discussed the different ways on the pharmacology of traditional Chinese medicine teaching to cultivate students' autonomous learning ability, promoting independent learning through PBL teaching, enhancing students' ability to think independently and practical operation using heuristic teaching.Survey results showed this student-centered, teacher-led, student-teacher interaction style pharmacology teaching model could improve the quality of teaching of Pharmacology.

BACKGROUND:Early diagnosis and accurate treatment of ligament injuries are the premise of avoiding chronic instability of knee joint and promoting functional recovery of knee joint.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the clinical efficacy of limited incision with autologous tendon graft for knee ligament injury.
METHODS:Eighty patients with knee ligament damage were randomly divided into two groups. The cases of control group were given orthosis treatment, and the cases of observation group were treated with the limited incision plus autologous tendon graft.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 6 months post-treatment, the excellent efficacy rate and postoperative quality of life score were increased in the observation group, compared with the control group (P<0.05). The active and passive ranges of motion of knee joint in the observation group were significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). At 3 months post-treatment, Lysholmp scores of the observation group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0.05). Limited incision plus autologous tendon graft treatment can significantly improve knee function after knee ligament injury.

This essay investigated the in vitro tumoricidal activity of Con A primed murine LAK cells (Con A-LAK), discussed the role of mTNF-? in the killing effect. The results showed that Con A-LAK cells could kill NK sensitive YAC-1, TNF sensitive L929 and H-2 low/non expression HCa-F target cells; The cytotoxicitity of Con A-LAK cells was performed by direct contact, the non-secretary pathway mediated by interaction of surface ligands of effector cells and receptors of target cells play an important role; Con A-LAK cells expressed mTNF-?, which participated in the killing of TNF sensitive tumor cells and might be one of the important effector molecules in MHC non-restricted, antigen non-specific cvtotoxicitv.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the protective effects of diphenyl ethylene glycoside(TSG)on hippocampal neuron cells ischemic injury model rats.METHODS:Hippocampal nerve cells ischemic injury rats’model was established with sodium dithionite,antagonism of TSG on ischemic cerebral injury was determined by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)microcol-orimetry and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)efflux assay.RESULTS:Pseudo-ischemic cerebral injury could cause significant injury to neurons with elevated cell death rate,significantly decreased MTT value and increased LDH efflux rate.The appli-cation of TSG could lead in significantly decreased LDH efflux rate,elevated MTT value and reduced cell death rate.CON-CLUSION:TSG has a significant protective effect on nerve cells ischemic injury model rats.

Cytokines is a kind of important factor on Pathogenic of hysteromyoma.Some study provides evidence that sex homone and its product of metabolism react up regulation/down regulation for hysteromyoma by growth factor. Apoptosis and oncogene and retinoid X have influence to the growth of hysteromyoma.

Objective To investigate the value of CT pulmonary artery obstruction index (PAOI)in evaluating the severity in patients of pulmonary embolism (PE)by a correlation study between CT PAOI and right ventricular function parameters and arterial blood gas analysis index.Methods CT PAOI,right ventricular function parameters and arterial blood gas analysis index were collected from 70 patients with PE,who had received CT pulmonary angiography (CTPA)examination in our hospital.Spearman rank correlation coefficient was used to evaluate the correlation between the PAOI and right ventricular/left ventricular maximum short axis diameter ratio (RVd/LVd),main pulmonary artery diameter (MPAd),superior vena cava diameter (SVCd),arterial oxygen partial pressure (PaO2 ),arterial carbon dioxide into pressure (PaCO2 ),oxygen saturation (SaO2 ),Alveolar arterial oxygen partial pressure difference (P(A-a)O2 ).Results PAOI and PaO2 were negative correlation,the correlation coefficient was -0.442;PAOI and RVd/LVd, MPAd,SVCd,P(A-a)O2 were positively related,correlation coefficients ranged between 0.163-0.675;PAOI was not related to SaO2 .Conclusion CT PAOI can be used to evaluate the severity of PE,it is not consistent with the severity of the patient’s clinical condition.

Objective:To investigate the biological basis of phlegm syndrome (Tan Zheng) and blood stasis syndrome (Xue-Yu Zheng) in traditional Chinese medicine(TCM) through the dynamic observation of the changes of blood lipid hemorheology and vessel endothelium impairment. Methods: SD rats were divided into fi ve groups randomly: the control group fed by normal diet, four model groups fed by 2-, 4-, 8- and 16-week high cholesterol diet, respectively.
