With the development of drug discovery, more and more candidate compounds need to be studied. Methods that can screen compound rapidly received significant attention. Parallel artificial membrane permeability assay (PAMPA) as a powerful tool has been applied to drug studies. It uses an artificial lipid membrane to mimic the barrier for drug permeability studies. This article introduces the establishment and characteristics of PAMPA, as well as its applications in screening compounds. It can be used as models (e.g. predicting the ability of compound in gastro-intestinal absorption, blood-brain barrier transportation and skin penetration) by changing the component of artificial lipid membrane. PAMPA has advantages in high throughput selection of valuable compound with low cost, versatile, low dose, and good reproducibility.

To study the effects of growth hormone on function of T lymphocytes. Methods: Tne expression plasmid PcDNA-GHcDNA was constructed,then the plasmids were transfected into Jurkat cells,on the other hand,Jurkat cells were treated with different doses ofrhGH, to investigate the effect of overexpression GH and rhGH on function of T lymphocytes. Results: Overexpression GH could increase the ex-pression of IL-2R(140％) and secretion of IL-2(160％) and IFN-γ( 198% ) in Jurkat cells after PHA activation,but these data were broughtdown by the treatment of GH antibody. rhGH could also enhancer the function of T lymphocytes after PHA activation. Conclusion: These resultssupport the idea that GH is an autocrine and paracrine factor, and can regulate the function of T lymphocytes.

Objective To study the protective effect of normothermic ex vivo perfusion to prevent donor-lung injury.Method After being flushed with perfadex solution through the pulmonary artery and vein,the donor lungs were divided to control group (preserved with 4℃ cold static preservation,n =8) and experimental group (preserved with ex vivo oxygenated blood continuous perfusion,n =8).Pulmonary function indexes,including pulmonary vascular resistance (PVR),lung ventilation resistance(LVR),the left inferior pulmonary vein(LIPV) blood PO2,and lung water content,were evaluated.Lung injury were studied by light microscopic observation and detecting the expression of proimflammatory factor IL-1β was detected.Result (1) Lung function evaluation:in both group,PVR,LVR and lung water content gradually increased,LIPV PO2 gradually declined;But in the same time point PVR and LVR in group were were significantly less than in control group (P＜0.05),LIPV PO2 in experimental group were were significantly more than in control group(P＜0.05).(2)Lung injury evaluation:Lung tissue edema classification in both group were significantly higher than in normal lung(P＜0.05),but classification in experimental group were significantly lower than in control group(P＜0.05).The expression of IL-1β in experimental group (0.422 ± 0.132) were significantly lower than in control group(0.578 ± 0.163,P＜0.05).Conclusion Ex vivo oxygenated blood continuous perfusion without ventilator is a feasible technique for lung preservation.It ameliorates hypothermic time-dependent ischemic injury.But further systems evaluation in complete physiologic condition is necessary.

Langerhans cell histiocytosis is an uncommon disease, involvement of the thyroid by langerhans cell histiocytosis is rare. Two cases of Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the thyroid confirmed by pathology were reported in this paper. The main clinical feature was enlargement of the thyroids. One patient had hypothyroidism. Meanwhile, the lungs and pituitaries of the two patients were affected. Langerhans cell histiocytosis of the thyroid had no typical symptoms and specific laboratory examination, and might be clinically diagnosed as chronic lymphocytic thyroiditis, benign or malignant thyroid tumors. Thyroid fine needle aspiration cytology might be useful in confirming the diagnosis. The effective treatments include systemic chemotherapy, local radiation therapy and surgical excision. The chemotherapy is still the major technological approach. Most patients can relieve partially after receiving the systemic chemotherapy.

The association of interleukin 6 receptor ( IL-6R ) gene - 183 A/G ( rs4845617 ) and Asp358 Ala (rs8192284 A/C) polymorphisms with metabolic syndrome was investigated in Chinese Han population.The result showed that the frequencies of AA genotype and A allele were higher in patients with metabolic syndrome ( MS ) than those in healthy subjects ( P＜0.05 or P＜0.01 ).The risk of MS in patients with A allele was 1.643 folds of that with allele C(95％ CI 1.163-2.320,P＜0.01 ).No differences were found in the genotype and allele frequencies of -183A/G between two groups ( P＞0.05 ).The Asp358Ala polymorphism of IL-6R was significantly associated with MS in Chinese Han population.

Objective To identify the changes of body composition with acromegaly before and after pituitary adeno-ma surgery,and to evaluate the relationship between these changes and serum growth hormone(GH),insulin-like growth factor-1(IGF-1).Methods Serum GH with OGTY,IGF-1 levels,BMI,fat percentage,FFM and total body water(TBW) in patients were measured in active and relieved period of the disease.Results The BMI and FFM with active acromegalic males were significantly higher,but fat percentage was significantly lower than that of healthy males.After the disease was relieved by surgery,serum GH and IGF-1 concentrations of patients were sig-nificantly reduced to normal level,but their BMI was still significantly higher,the fat percentage increased and the FFM decreased was correlated with serum nadin GH and IGF-1 levels.The BMI and FFM with active acromegalic females were significantly higher than healthy females,but the fat percentage had not significant change after sur-gery,and FFM decrease was correlated with reduced serum GH level.The fat percentage did not change signifi-cantly.Conclusion There was significant change of body composition with acromagely before and after treatment,and a relationship between these changes and serum GH and IGF-1 levels was identified.

This study was aimed to explore the efficacy of establishing and implementing individual healthy di-ets on patients with early diabetic nephropathy ( DN ) . A total of 120 patients with early DN of our hospital were randomly divided into two groups , which were the experimental group and the control group . There were 60 cases in each group . All patients received routine treatment . The fasting blood glucose and 24-hour uri-nary protein were measured pre-treatment , 2-week , 2-month , and 6-month after treatment . Patients in the experimental group were required to receive individual healthy diet therapy as well as routine treatment . The fasting blood glucose of both groups was compared in each stage . The fasting blood glucose of the experimental group was lower than that of the control group after 2-week treatment . After 6-month treatment , the fasting blood glucose of the experimental group was lower than that of pre-treatment . However , there was no obvious difference in the control group compared to that of pre-treatment . There were significant differences on the number of cases with fasting blood glucose below the level of 7.0 mmol/L in different stages of both groups. The 24-hour urinary protein of both groups was also compared in each stage . After 2-week treatment , there was no distinct difference on the 24-hour urinary protein in each stage of both groups . However , after 6-month treatment , the urinary protein of the experimental group , compared to pre-treatment , indicated striking difference , while the control group did not show any difference . It was concluded that individual healthy diet has a significant efficacy in the treatment of early DN , especially in reducing and controlling fasting blood glucose. After carrying out the treatment for 6 months, healthy diet also takes on distinct effects in cutting down 24-hour urinary protein and keeping the glycosylated hemoglobin below 6 . 5%.

Objective:To investigate the expression of miR-92a in colorectal cancer (CRC) and its effect on the regulation mechanisms of tumor angiogenesis. Methods:The miRNA-92a expression in 25 CRC tissues and HT29, SW620, SW480, and HCT116 CRC cells was detected using quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction. The CD31 positive expression of blood microvessels in CRC tissues was measured by immunohistochemistry. Pearson correlation analysis was used to analyze the relationship between miR-92a and tu-mor angiogenesis. The miR-92a mimic or inhibitor was transfected into HCT116 and SW620 cells in vitro to upregulate or downregu-late the miR-92a expression. The effect of miR-92a overexpression or suppression on the formation of human umbilical vein endotheli-al cell (HUVEC) tubules was detected by tube formation assay. Changes in phosphatase and tensin homolog (PTEN) protein expression were measured by Western blot. Results:The expression level of miR-92a in CRC tissues was significantly higher than that in matched adjacent tissues (P<0.01). The expression levels of miR-92a in HT29, SW480, SW620, and HCT116 colon cancer cell lines were signifi-cantly higher than that of the normal colorectal epithelium control (P<0.05). The number of CD31 positive expression of microvessel density (MVD) in CRC tissues was significantly higher than that in adjacent tissues (P<0.01), and the miR-92a expression level was posi-tively correlated with the MVD in CRC tissues (r=0.580, P=0.01). The cell culture supernatant of HCT116 with miR-92a overexpression could significantly promote the formation of HUVEC tubules (P<0.05). The upregulation of miR-92a expression could significantly inhib-it the expression of PTEN protein in CRC cells (P<0.01). Conclusion:The miR-92a was highly expressed in CRC cells and tissues, which was closely related to the formation of tumor angiogenesis in CRC. The miR-92a could promote tumor angiogenesis in CRC by inhibit-ing PTEN expression.
