1.Ribozymes and deoxyribozymes in targeted cancer therapy
Journal of International Oncology 2010;37(12):889-892
In recent years, with the introduction of novel vectors capable of highly efficient transduction ,ribozymes and dexyribozymes have been become an ideal approach to anticancer therapy due to their high efficiency and lack of severe adverse effects. As many high efficiency targets have been found for cancer therapy, targeted therapy using ribozymes and deoxyribozymes may have multiple effects such as induction of tumor apoptosis and inhibition of tumor growth, metastasis, and angiogenesis.

CD+4 CD+25 regulatory T cell (Treg) has immune incompetent and immune suppression functions, and is a kind of suppressor T-cell subsets. It can inhibit the activation and proliferation of CD+4 T cells and CD+8 T cells, so as to effectively suppress the immune system to foreign organ and reduce the graftversus-host disease (GVHD) after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT), without affecting the role of graft-versus-leukemia (GVL), which plays an important role in the transplantation immune tolerance.

Objective To investigate the apoptosis-inducing effect,inhibiting multidrug resistanceassociated protein 1 (MRP-1) and mRNA expression of arsenic trioxide (As2O3) and buthionine sulfoximine (BSO) in multidrug-resistant cell K562/ADM.To compare the effect of As2O3 and the combined group.To determine the effect of intracellular glutathione (GSH) content on the arsenic effect.Methods The arsenic group (0.5 μmol/L,2.0 μmol/L,5.0 μmol/L) solo or combined BSO (100 μmol/L) applied in multidrugresistant cell K562/ADM.The cell proliferating activity was assessed with MTT assay.The cell apoptosis effect was detected by Annexin-V and propidium iodide (PI) staining.Intracellular GSH contents were measured using GSH Assay Kit by spectrophotometry.MRP1 expression was determined by flow cytometry.MRP1 mRNA expression were directed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR.Results With the GSH contents were degraded by the combination of clinic dose arsenic group (0.5 μmol/L,2 μmol/L) and BSO (100 μmol/L),the K562/ADM cell proliferating activity was obviously inhibited and the cell apoptosis-inducing effect was increased in 24 hours.In 72 hours,the rate of apoptosis with arsenic (0.5 μmol/L,2 μmol/L) were (8.32± 2.11) %,(16.75±3.56) %.After the GSH contents were degraded,the rates of apoptosis in the combination group (clinic dose arsenic group) were (82.15±9.28) % and (92.72±9.41) %.The fluorescence intensity of MRP1 in 72 hours of the combination group (clinic dose arsenic group) was 8.20±0.92 and 10.40±2.33.The MRP1 attenuated effect of the combination group (clinic dose arsenic group) was obviously stronger than that of the high dose arsenic group (21.30±3.09).Conclusions The intracellular GSH contents closely correlate with the arsenic effect.The cell apoptosis-inducing effect of the combination of clinic dose arsenic and BSO on K562/ADM cell is obvious increased.The combination of clinic dose arsenic and BSO obviously inhibit MRP1 expression and MRP1 mRNA expression in K562/ADM cell.

ObjectiveTo study the protective effects of Qiqiong(QQJN) on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury and its mechanism. MethodsMiddle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) was used to make focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion model by intravascular nylon filament occlusion. The protective effects of QQJN were evaluated by investigating neurological function score, percentage of cerebral infarction, pathomorphology of brain, the activity of SOD and the content of MDA in hrain tissue,thrombogenesis and platelet aggregation in vitro. ResultsCompared with model group, QQJN(4.4、8.8g/kg)could decrease the neurological score in 8 and 22h after reperfusion, reduce the percentage of cerebral infauction,improve pathomorphology of brain, decrease the length, wet weight and dry weight of thromb and inhibit platelet aggregation. ConclusionQQJN had protective effects on focal cerebral ischemia/reperfusion injury. The role of anti-injury of free radicals,inhibit thrombogenesis and platelet aggregation should contribute to its neuroprotective effects.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the CD+4 CDHigh25 regulatory T cells and cytokine IL-10 and acute graft-versus-host disease (aGVHD) after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT). Methods Flow cytometric was used to detect the percentage of CD+4 CDHigh25Foxp3High Treg cell and CD+4 CDHigh25 CDLow127 Treg cell in CD+4 T cells and at the same time ELISA was used to test the serum IL-10 levels in corresponding period. Results 13 patients have received hematopoietic function reconstruction. aGVHD group of CD+4 CDHigh25 CDLow127/CD+4 and CD+4 CDHigh25 Foxp3High/CD+4 ratio were significantly lower than non-aGVHD group, the difference was statistically significant (P <0.01); Ⅲ-Ⅳ degree of aGVHD subgroup was lower than Ⅰ - Ⅱ degree of aGVHD subgroup, but no statistical significance(P >0.05); the same as between-group CD+4 CDHigh25 CDLow127/CD+4 and the CD+4 CDHigh25 Foxp3High/CD+4 has no significant difference;aGVHD group of IL-10 concentration was significantly lower than non-GVHD group, the difference was statistically significant (P <0.01). Treg cell and IL-10 changes in correlation, r = 0.557, P <0.05. Conclusion The level of Treg cell was closely related to the occurrence of aGVHD after allo-HSCT. So it is very important to monitor the Treg cell level for clinical early diagnosis of aGVHD and predict prognosis of aGVHD and guide the application of immunosuppressant. CD127 can serve as a Treg cell surface-specific marker, to promote the detection of Treg cell and purification. IL-10 was an important negative regulator. Treg cell and IL-10expression in patients with aGVHD was correlation, which may provide some basis for Treg cell immunosuppressive mechanism.

BACKGROUND: Transcutaneous electrical acupoint stimulation (TEAS) exerts good analgesic effect, but its effectiveness and safety in analgesia after total knee arthroplasty have not been reported.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the analgesic effect of TEAS at the auricular Shenmen (H 7) point in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty.METHODS: Forty ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients scheduled for total knee arthroplasty under general anesthesia combined with femoral nerve block were enrolled and randomly divided into experimental and control groups (n=20 per group). The patients in the experimental group received TEAS at auricular Shenmen (H 7) point before anesthesia, 8, 16, 36, and 56 hours postoperatively for 30 minutes. The patients in the control group received same method with the experimental group, but without electrical stimulation. Ultrasound-guided continuous femoral nerve blockade was performed before induction, followed by tracheal tube was inserted and the patients were mechanically ventilated. The patients received patient-controlled continuous femoral nerve analgesia after surgery for 72 hours. The Visual Analogue Scale scores and the quadriceps maximum voluntary isometric contraction were recorded at postoperative 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours. The consumption of ropivacaine and tramadol hydrochloride was recorded. Additionally, the incidence of adverse reactions was recorded.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The Visual Analogue Scale scores in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group at postoperative 48 and 72 hours (P < 0.05). (2) The quadriceps maximum voluntary isometric contraction in the control group was significantly lower than that in the experimental group at each time point (P < 0.05). (3) The consumption of ropivacaine in the control group ((495.7±39.4) mL) was significantly more than that in the experimental group ((394.5±27.1) mL) (P < 0.05). Seven cases in the control group and one case in the experimental group received the injection of tramadol hydrochloride (P < 0.05). (4) Nausea and vomiting occurred in six cases in the control group and one case in the experimental group, and dizziness only occurred in four cases in the control group (P < 0.05). (5) To conclude, TEAS at the auricular Shenmen (H 7) point can improve the pain after total knee arthroplasty, reduce the consumption of ropivacaine and tramadol hydrochloride, and maintain quadriceps strength.
