OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of cyclosporine and simulect mono or combination therapy on cardiac allo-transplantation in rats. METHODS: Recipients with allografts were treated with different doses of cyclosporine and/or simulect after cardiac allo-transplantation. Graft survival time was observed; the histopathological examination of graft tissues was performed; and levels of serum IL-2 and IL-4 were determined. RESULTS: Mono or combination therapy with cyclosporine and/or simulect increased the survival of cardiac allografts. With the prolongation of survival time of the grafts, the rejection of grafts was moderated. The serum IL-2 level increased in acute rejected grafts; the serum IL-4 level increased evidently in long survival grafts. CONCLUSION Cyclosporine and simulect have an effect in the prolongation of cardiac allograft survival in rats, and the combination therapy shows an evident synergistic effect.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the role of allo heart and thymus transplantation by intrathymic inoculation of thymocytes. METHODS: Wistar recipients were given intrathymic injection of allo thymocytes (2 x 10(7)) 14 days before the heart and/or thymus transplantation. Graft survival, histopathology, levels and mRNA expressions of IL-2, IL-4 in serum and cardiac-grafts were investigated. RESULTS: Heart transplantation and heart-thymus composite transplantation with the treatment of CysA for 7 or 14 days prolonged graft survival. Heart transplantation and heart-thymus composite transplantation with intrathymic thymocytes injection induced the long-term survival of allo-grafts transiently immunosuppressed with CysA; IL-4 maintained at high levels but IL-2 kept at low levels in grafts in long-term survivals. CONCLUSION Intrathymic inoculation of allo thymoctyes can induce immune tolerance for both cardiac transplantation and heart-thymus combined transplantation in rats. Thymus graft may play a role in the induction and maintenance of central tolerance.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of high fat diet on the expression of sterol regulatory element binding protein-1 (SREBP-1), transforming growth factor-beta1 (TGF-beta1) and alpha-smooth muscle actin (alpha-SMA) in renal tubular cells and extracellular matrix accumulation in Wistar rats.

METHODSThe Wistar rats were treated with high fat diet for 12 weeks and renal lipid deposit was detected by the method of Oil Red O staining. The immunohistochemistry and Western blot were used to investigate the expression of SREBP-1, TGF-beta1, alpha-SMA and fibronectin (FN) protein. The expression of SREBP-1 mRNA was determined with in situ hybridization. Masson staining was for the detection of extracellular matrix (ECM) accumulation.

RESULTSThe weight of rats raised by high fat diet increased, in company with the high serum glucose, serum triglyceride and serum insulin. The Oil Red O staining revealed that the renal proximal tubular epithelial cells showed significant lipid droplet in high fat diet rats. SREBP-1 protein and mRNA were located in the renal tubular cells and the expressions of high fat diet rats were higher than those of normal control rats. They were respectively 1.88 times and 1.85 times than those of normal control group. TGF-beta1 and alpha-SMA protein were also located in renal tubular cells and high fat diet up-regulated the expression of them. ECM accumulation was detected with Masson staining and the result showed that high fat diet treatment increased interstitial ECM product and FN protein was found high expression.

CONCLUSIONHigh fat diet may induce lipid droplet deposit in renal tubular cells by up-regulation of the expression of SREBP-1, which causes ECM accumulation by increasing the expression of TGF-beta1 and alpha-SMA.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of DNA methyltransferases 1 (DNMT-1) inhibition on the ACC-M cells in vitro and in vivo and discuss the role of DNMT-1 in the development, invasion and metastasis of salivary adenoid cystic carcinoma (SACC).

METHODSACC-M cells of stable DNMT-1 inhibition were established in a previous research. In vitro, the growth and invasion of ACC-M cells which stably inhibited DNMT-1 were detected and analyzed by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) growth curve, flow cytometry, plating efficiency and invasion assay. In vivo, the growth and metastasis of ACC-M cells which persistently inhibited DNMT-1 were observed and analyzed by subcutaneous injection and tail vein injection into the nude mice.

RESULTSIn vitro, the doubling time [(34.7 +/- 2.1) h], S phase fraction [(17.4 +/- 1.7)%], plating efficiency [(43.0 +/- 1.3)%] of ACC-M cells was significantly different from those of blank [(26.2 +/- 3.1) h, (31.5 +/- 2.0)%, (71.0 +/- 4.7)%], empty load control [(28.4 +/- 3.9) h, (39.0 +/- 2.0)%, (66.0 +/- 5.2)%], P < 0.05, and the invasion ability was not significantly different among these groups (P > 0.05). In vivo, the subcutaneous tumor forming rate (6/10), volume [(2.18 +/- 0.83) mm(3)], weight [(0.0156 +/- 0.0046) g] of ACC-M cells was also significantly lower than that of blank [10/10, (155.44 +/- 1.67) mm(3), (0.0724 +/- 0.0157) g], empty load control [10/10, (147.46 +/- 1.73) mm(3), (0.0729 +/- 0.0177) g], P < 0.05, but the rate of lung metastasis was not significantly different among these groups (P > 0.05), and the masses (2.0 +/- 0.5), diameter (70.0 +/- 20.3) microm of ACC-M cells was significantly lower than that of blank [(28.0 +/- 5.5), (195 +/- 25.4) microm], empty load control [(27.0 +/- 4.5), (190.0 +/- 19.9) microm], P < 0.05.

CONCLUSIONSInhibition of DNMT-1 is able to inhibit the proliferation and metastasis of ACC-M cells in vitro and in vivo.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the safety and the clinical value of external use of jiuyi Powder (JP) in treating plasma cell mastitis using partial least-squares discriminant analysis (PLSDA).

METHODSTotally 50 patients with plasma cell mastitis treated by external use of JP were observed and biochemical examinations of blood and urine detected before application, at day 4 after application, at day 1 and 14 after discontinuation. Blood mercury and urinary mercury were detected before application, at day 1, 4, and 7 after application, at day 1 and 14 after discontinuation. Urinary mercury was also detected at 28 after discontinuation and 3 months after discontinuation. The information of wound, days of external application and the total dosage of external application were recorded before application, at day 1, 4, and 7 after application, as well as at day 1 after discontinuation. Then a discriminant model covering potential safety factors was set up by PLSDA after screening safety indices with important effects. The applicability of the model was assessed using area under ROC curve. Potential safety factors were assessed using variable importance in the projection (VIP).

RESULTSUrinary β2-microglobulin (β2-MG), urinary N-acetyl-β-D-glucosaminidase (NAG), 24 h urinary protein, and urinary α1-microglobulin (α1-MG) were greatly affected by external use of JP in treating plasma cell mastitis. The accuracy rate of PLSDA discriminate model was 74. 00%. The sensitivity, specificity, and the area under ROC curve was 0. 7826, 0. 7037, and 0. 8084, respectively. Three factors with greater effect on the potential safety were screened as follows: pre-application volume of the sore cavity, days of external application, and the total dosage of external application.

CONCLUSIONSPLSDA method could be used in analyzing bioinformation of clinical Chinese medicine. Urinary β2-MG and urinary NAG were two main safety monitoring indices. Days of external application and the total dosage of external application were main factors influencing blood mercury and urine mercury. A safety classification simulation model of treating plasma cell mastitis by external therapy of JP was established by the two factors, which could be used to assess the safety of external application of JP to some extent.
