OBJECTIVE To observe and compare the application result of two kinds of chemical indicator(CI)card contained in high pressure-steam sterilization chemical monitoring testing package for providing correct credible evidence of supplying material in each batch after high pressure-steam sterilization and to avoid resource lost because of fault estimation.METHODS The chemical monitoring testing package was made according Sterilization Criteria published in 2002,with the 3M 1250 and 1243 CI cards and 1292 biology indicator(BI) to observe the results in tested package after sterilization.RESULTS The BI in chemical monitoring testing package was all qualified,the qualified rate of 1250 was 70%,while of 1243 was 100%.CONCLUSIONS If there is no BI for monitoring,1243 CI card should be chosen in high pressure-steam sterilization chemical monitoring testing package for supplying material in each batch after high pressure-steam sterilization which is not influenced by moisture and the contacted material and is easy to read and evaluate,the resource lost caused by fault estimation can be avoided.

Objective To investigate the role of interleukin-1 receptor type 1 (IL-1R1) signaling in H1N1 influenza virus infection. Methods IL-1R1 knockout ( IL-1R1-/-) mice and wild type ( WT) mice were infected intranasally with 2×104 TCID50(50% tissue culture infective dose) of influenza virus H1N1 PR8. Changes in clinical signs, survivals and bodyweights of those mice were monitored daily for 14 consecutive days. Three mice from each group were sacrificed at 3, 7 and 14 days post infection (d. p. i), from which whole lungs were harvested. A part of the lobes was fixed in 4% paraformaldehyde for histopatho-logical assessment and the rest were split and stored at-80 centigrade for further analysis. Real-time quanti-tative PCR and cytometric bead array ( CBA) were performed to detect viral loads in lungs and inflammatory cytokines in supernatants of lung homogenates. Results The mice in both groups showed severe symptoms after the infection of PR8. The maximum bodyweight loss of IL-1R1-/- mice [(24. 22±0. 80) % at 8 d. p. i] was lower than that of WT mice [(28. 03±1. 51)% at 9 d. p. i] (P<0. 05). The IL-1R1-/- mice with PR8 infection showed a higher survival rate (90%) as compared with that of the control group (40%) (P<0. 05). No statistical differences in virus loads were observed between the two groups at 3, 7 and 14 d. p. i. The lung weight to body weight ratio of IL-1R1-/-mice [(1. 42±0. 03) %] was lower than that of WT mice [(1. 79±0. 08) %] at 3 d. p. i (P<0. 05). Pathological changes in IL-1R1-/- mice were less severe than those in WT mice. CBA detection assay revealed that the proinflammatory cytokines in lungs of IL-1R1-/-mice were less than those in WT mice. Conclusion IL-1R1 signaling plays a pathogenic role in mice infec-ted with 2×104 TCID50 of influenza virus PR8 by promoting inflammatory responses.

Objective To analyze the Alb-cre/DTR mouse phenotype, and establish a model of induced liver damage to serve basic researches of liver diseases.Methods The introduced Alb-cre and DTR mice were crossed to obtain Alb-cre/DTR mice and the genomic DNAs were extracted from the tail tissue of the mice for genotying by PCR.Diphtheria toxin was intraperitoneally(i.p.)injected into the Alb-cre/DTR mice, then the body weights were monitored and the sera were collected for the detection of serum ALT and AST levels.Results By crossing Alb-cre and DTR mice we obtained the Alb-cre and DTR double transgenic mouse.The intraperitoneal injection of diphtheria toxin in a dose of 0.625 ng/g body weight significantly induced liver injury in these mice, as showed by the elevated levels of ALT and AST, the gross appearance of liver damage and the pathological changes such as necrosis in the liver tissue.Conclusions We have ob-tained a novel mouse strain of Alb-cre/DTR by crossing Alb-cre and DTR mice.Liver damages in those Alb-cre/DTR mice can be induced by injection of diphtheria toxin.This established mouse model of inducible liver damage is a useful platform for the studies of liver damage and recovery, as well as liver transplantation.

Objective To investigate the reversal effect of the monomer of traditional Chinese medicine on muhidrug resistance(MDR) and its possible mechanism in K562/ADM cell line in vitro. Methods With different concentrations of baicalin, geniposide administered to K562/ADM cells, the proliferation of K562/ ADM cells was detected by the MTY assay. Expression of mdr-1 mRNA, Topo Ⅱ mRNA was measured by semi-quantitive RT-PCR. Results Thatbaicalin and geniposide could increase the sensitivity of K562/ADM cells to adriamycin, multiples of reversion were 1.95 times and 1.46 times. The proliferation of K562/ADM cells was in-hibited obviously by baicalin and geniposide, the level of mdr-1 mRNA expression was down-regulated and the Topo Ⅱ mRNA was up-regulated(P<0.01 ). Conclusion Baicalin and geniposide may reverse the multi-drag-resistance of K562/ADM cells, which was related to the down-regulation of mdr-1 expression and up-reg-ulation of Topo Ⅱ beta expression.

Objective To explore molecular mechanism of expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA and secretion of VEGF protein in HL-60 cells induced by all-trans refinoic acid (ATRA). Methods MTr method was used to detect the proliferation of HL-60 cells induced by ATRA,cell cycle and CD11b expression in HL-60 cells were detected by flow cytometry. Expression of VEGF, c-myc, by-poxia-inducible factor(HIF)-lα, matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and MMP-2 mRNA were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. VEGF protein in HL-60 cells culture supernatant was measured by ELISA before and after being induced by ATRA. Results After treatment with ATRA,the proliferation of HL-60 cells was obviously inhibited, CD11b expression increased, trend of granulocyte directional differentiation emerged, and differentiation degree was increasd(P <0. 05) ;expression level of c-my and VEGF mRNA was down-regulated (P < 0. 05), but expression level of HIF-1α mRNA was up-regulated (P < 0. 05). VEGF protein level in HL-60 cells culture supernatant was decreased by blocking the expression of MMP-9 or MMP-2(P <0. 05).Conclusion VEGF expression has positive correlation with c-myc expression,but has negative correlation with HIF-1α expression. MMP-9 and MMP-2 may be the main factors regulating VEGF secretion in HL-60 cells.

Objective To study the molecular mechanism of different sensitivities to apoptosis induced by low concentration of As2O3 in PML-RARα negative HL-60 cells and PML-RARα positive NB4 cells. Meth-ods NB4 and HL-60 cells were cultured with As2O3 for 1 to 4 days; cell proliferation were detected by MTT method; the apoptosis was detected by flow cytometry,Bcl-2,Bax and Fas mRNA were determined by RT-PCR. Results The proliferation of NB4 cells was inhibited obviously by As2O3(1.0 μmol/L)with the induction of apoptosis( P <0.05) ,which was accompanied by the down-regulation of Bcl-2 mRNA expression( P <0.05)and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax(P <0.05), but there was no obvious variation of Bax and Fas expression( P >0.05). Inhibition of proliferation and apoptosis were not obvious in PML-RARα negative HL-60 cells induced by low concentration As2O3 ( P >0.05), and there was no obvious variation of Bcl-2, Bax, Fas mRNA expres-sion or Bcl/Bax ratio( P >0.05). Conclusion The ratio of Bcl-2/Bax is contributed to the different sensitiv-ities of PML-RARα negative HL-60 cells and positive NB4 cells induced by low concentration of As2O3.

Objective To explore the effect of oxaliplatin ( OXA) on enhancing radiosensitivity in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 . Methods 50% inhibition concentration ( IC50 ) of HepG2 cells treated with OXA was measured by using MTT method at 6, 12, 24, 48 hours. Then clone formation assay was applied to obtain sensitizing enhancement ratio ( SER) of OXA combing IR, according to the survival fraction of three groups 10?14 days after treatments:placebo?treated group ( C) ,radiation group ( IR, single dose of 1 Gy,2 Gy,4 Gy,6 Gy,8 Gy,10 Gy) and IR synchronizing OXA group ( IR+3 mg/L OXA) . The proportions of cell apoptosis were analyzed using flow cytometry at 24 hours after treatment. At last, we semi?quantitative tested the expression of extracellular regulated protein kinase 1/2 ( ERK 1/2 ) and DNA damage repair protein Ku?70 of the C,IR and IR+OXA groups. Statistical analysis was performed by T test. Results The IC50 of OXA on HepG2 cells is 54?4 mg/L at 6 hours,29?1 mg/L at 12 hours,17?8 mg/L at 24 hours and 10?5 mg/L at 48 hours.3 mg/L was selected in clone formation assay at which 80?90% HepG2 cells survived at 24 hours. The SER ( SF2 ) is calculated as 1?59. Flow cytometry showed the proportion of survival cells in IR+OXA group is significantly lower than those of IR group ( P=0?005) ,OXA group ( P=0?008) and C group ( P=0?001) . The expressions of ERK 1/2 were inhibited in IR and IR+OXA groups compared by that of control group. But the expression of ERK 1/2 in IR group showed increasing after 48 hours which was higher than that of IR+OXA group. For Ku?70,the changes of expression were similar with that of ERK 1/2. Conclusion Oxaliplatin presented enhancing radiosensitivity in human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line HepG2 in vitro.
