ve To understand the effects of fenvalerate on the secretion of sex hormone and humoral im-mune function and to explore their mechanism. Methods 20 female SD rats aged 4 weeks were randomly divided into 2 groups: fenvalerate group treated by peritoneal injection with 1/10 LD50 of fenvalerate and control group treated with disinfected bean oil. The serum specimens were obtained from rats of 2 groups at the 4th week after the peri-toneal injection. The levels of interleukin-6 (IL-6). tumor necrosis factor-? (TNF-?) and immunoglobulin G (IgG) in serum were measured with ELISA. The levels of 17?-estradiol (E2) and testosterone (T) were measured with ra-dioimmune assay. Results The levels of IL-6, TNF-? and IgG in serum specimens of rats were 2.244 ng/ ml, 0.360 ng/ml and 4.928?g/ml for fenvalerate group, 2.805 ng/ml, 0.439 ng/ml and 3.825?g/ml for control group respec-tively. The levels of IL-6 and TNF-? in serum specimens of rats were significantly lower than those of control group (P 0.05. Conclusion Fenvalerate could effect the hu-moral immune system and the levels of sex hormones. Its passible mechanism was that fenvalerate could affect the levels of sex hormones first, and then the whole immune system further.

0.05). Conclusions The presentation of activated NK and T cells are both involved in the mechanism of immune tolerance of pregnancy, and the immunity of NK and T cells in basal decidua is independent of the systematic immunity in peripheral blood.

Objective:To investigate affection of ureaplasma urealyticum (UU) infection on the production of calculus of the urinary and reproductive system in male rat. Methods:Sprogue-dawley(SD) rats were infected with UU4 (serotype 4) through repeated natural sexual intercourses for 8 weeks. The urinary and reproductive system were detected . Results:Twelve point five percents of rate infected with UU had soft calculus in urinary tracts, while 27.5 percents of rate infected with UU had soft or hard calculus. Conclusion: Infection with UU may lead to the production of calculus in urinary and reproductive system in male rats

Objective To study the effects on inhibit tumor growth and enhance immune function of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide(GLP)combined with low-dose cisplatin in tumor-bearing mice.Methods 2 × 106 Lewis cells in 0.1 mL PBS were injected subcutaneously into the flanks of healthy female BALB/c nude mice (5～6 weeks old).When the tumor volume reached 100 mm3,mice were randomly assigned to 4 groups,control group (Oral gavage of 0.5 ml PBS and intraperitoneal injection of 0.5 ml),GLP group (gavage once every two days,40 mg/kg GLP in 0.5 ml),cisplatin group (intraperitoneal injection once every two days,2 mg/kg cisplatin in 0.5 ml) and the combination group (such as the above dose of cisplatin and GLP).After the treatment regimen was complete,the mice were sacrificed,and the tumors were removed,photographed,weighed,and prepared for histological analysis.The immune cells in spleen and peripheral blood were analyzed by flow cytometry.Results GLP can effectively increase anti-tumor effect of the small dose cisplatin,improve the survival of tumor-bearing mice,promote Th cells convert to Th1 in peripheral blood,increased the expression of CD 11c + on DC cell surface (GLP group 4.59％ VS the control group 1.06％,the combined group 7.21％ VS the cisplatin group 2.8％).Conclusion GLP can improve the immune function of tumor-bearing mice,had synergistic anti-tumor growth with low dose cisplatin,moreover,reduce renal toxic effects of cisplatin.

Objective To study the effects of the Yinlingtong capsules on intracellular triglyceride,fatty acid oxidation levels and CPT-1/ACC-β in HHL-5 cells.Methods After treated HHL-5 cells with different doses Yinlingtong capsules,intracellular triglyceride content and the fatty acid oxidation level were detected by the kits.The CPT-1β and ACC-β mRNA levels were detected by Q-PCR.Results Yinlingtong capsules could reduce triglyceride content (compared with the control group,triglyceride content of0.5,1 and 2 mg/ml dose group were reduced by 9.5％,14.3％ and 19.4％,respectively),enhance the level of fatty acid oxidation by a dose-response relationship(compared with the control group,the level of fatty acid oxidation of 0.5,1and 2 mg/ml dose group were increased 4.3％,6.9％ and 11.2％,respectively),but could not affect the CPT-1βand ACC-β mRNA levels.Conclusion Yinlingtong capsules reduced the accumulation of fat in HHL-5 hepatocytes,and the specific impact mechanism needs to be further explored.

Objective To study the effects of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharide (GLP) on PBMCs and the related immune mechanism.Methods PBMCs from cancer patients and healthy donors were isolated and treated with different doses of Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides (10 ng/ml,50 ng/ml and 100 ng/ml).DC cell costimulatory molecules (HLA-DR,CD83,and CD11 c),Th1 (CD3 + CD8-IFN-γ+) cells,Th2 (CD3 + CD8-IL-4+) cells and NK (CD3-CD56+) were analyzed by FCM.Furthermore,The CD3+ CD4+ Th ceils were separated by immunomagnetic beads and stimulated with Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides at different concentrations in culture.After 24 h,the cytokine expression levels of Th1 and Th2were detected by RT-PCR.The expressions of Th1 differentiation-related transcription factor,STAT4,were analyzed by Western blot.Results Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides can significantly stimulate in vitro Thl cell differentiation (P＜0.01) in a dose depend manner.It correlates with an increased expression of STAT4 and the elevated mRNA expression levels of Th1 cytokineincluding IL-12,IFN-γ and TNF-α (P＜0.01).Conclusion Ganoderma lucidum polysaccharides may promote Th1 differentiation and increase the secretion of Th1 cvtokines through the upregulation of STAT4.

Objective: To investigate the antitumor actions of polysaccharide extracts from the fruiting body of coriolus versicolor (CVE). Methods:Hepatoma HepA cells were injected into mice subcutaneously. Different doses of CVE were given by gavage. On the 7 th and 14 th day, tumor inhibitive rates were calculated. ELISA was performed to measure the serum IgG level; MTT was used to examine CVE′s effects on the proliferation of T lymphocytes of thymus. Immunohistochemistry was used to determine CVE′s influence on the expression of tumor related genes P53 and VEGF in liver. Results: CVE may evidently inhibit the growth of the transplanted HepA tumors. Its effects on the serum IgG level and on the proliferation of T lymphocytes of thymus were also significantly. Also, CVE markedly decreased the expression of P53, VEGF genes in liver. Conclustion: CVE had significant antitumor effects in vivo . The mechanisms may involve immune modulation effects and antimetastasis actions.

Objective:To investigate the effects of 17β-Estradiol (E2) on mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) and to evaluate the effects of MSC treated with E2 on the maturation and function of dendritic cells (DC).Methods: We first isolated and cultured MSC from the human fetal lung.The MSC were treated with E2 for 24 hours at various concentrations ( 10~(-9),10~(-8) and 10~(-7) mol/L).After cell counting,proliferation,adherent ability and immunophenotypes of MSC were detected by flowcytometry.The gene expressions of cytokine (IL-6,TGF-βand VEGF) were measured by RT-PCR.The effects of MSC treated with E2 on the maturation and function of DC were determined.Results:After treated with E2,the proliferation and adherent ability of MSC were increased,while the immunophenotypes of MSC were not affected.When MSCs co-cultured with DC,MSC could inhibit the immuophenotypes and function of DC.However,when DC co-cultured with E2-pretreated MSC,the immunophenotypes (MHC Ⅱ,CD80 and CD86) of DC had been reconstructed.After treated with the high concentration of E2 for 24 hours,MSC secreted lower level of TGF-β than that in the control group,while IL-6 and VEGF expressions were increased compared with those in the control group.Conclusion: Estrogen may alter the immuno-suppressive effects of MSC on DC via modulating the cytokine secretion of MSC.

Objective: Proto-oncogene Zbtb7A has been characterized as a molecular switch in the process of cancer initiation and development.Our goal is to obtain the POZ domain of the Zbtb7A protein and prepare its polyclonal antibodies.Methods: We optimized the coding sequence of the POZ domain according to the codon bias of E.coli and synthesized the sequence with two-step PCR,which was then introduced into the pET-26b(+) vector to express the protein.The recombinant protein was analyzed by 15% SDS-PAGE and the corresponding band was cut out from gel.The minced gel slice that contained the POZ domain protein was injected to immunize rabbits.The collected rabbit antiserum was purified using the saturated ammonium sulfate method in combination with protein G antibody purification,and the purified polyclonal antibodies was evaluated by Western blot.Results: The optimized sequence of the POZ domain was correctly obtained and successfully constructed into the pET-26b(+) vector.After induction,an expected protein band about 14 KD was detected on 15% SDS-PAGE,and highly purified polyclonal antibodies were obtained,which were specifically bound to human Zbtb7A.Conclusion: The obtained recombinant protein of the POZ domain and its polyclonal antibodies can be used for further studies of Zbtb7A.
