OBJECTIVEComparing with the classic immuno-supressors, to probe in the in vitro effect of Cordyceps Sinensis (CS) on the differentiation, maturation and function of dentritic cells (DCs), and further to explore its mechanism.
METHODSMice myeloid DCs were cultured respectively with extraction of Bailing Capsule (CSE), a Chinese medical preparation made of CS, Rapamycin and Tacrolimus, and the effect of various drugs on phenotype of DCs was analyzed with flow cytometer. Then, using as the stimulator, the DCs cultured with different drugs were mixed and cultured with heterogenous lymphocytes for observing the stimulating capacity of DCs on cell proliferation.
RESULTSCSE showed no in vitro effect on phenotype markers and co-stimulation molecules of DCs, the difference between CSE and Tacrolimus was insignificant, while Rapamycin could reduce the two parameters. CSE showed a marked suppressive effect on DCs in stimulating leucocyte proliferation in a dose-dependent manner.
CONCLUSIONCSE could affect the stimulating capacity of DCs on cell proliferation, which is probably by means of inhibiting the function of antigen presentating cells to block the presentation of extrinsic signal, and make the low immune response condition, thus to obtain the effect of immunosuppression.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the dynamic expression of TPM1 in rat model of hepatic fibrosis and hepatic stellate cells induced by TGFβ1.
METHODThirty male SD rats were divided into control group (n = 6) and model group (n = 24). The rat model of hepatic fibrosis was established by intraperitoneal injection of dimethylnitrosamine(DMN). The sera were collected from portal vein and liver tissues were taken from animals 2, 4, 6, 8 weeks HSC-T6 cells were cultured and induced 48 hours by 5 ng/ml TGF-β1. The pathological changes of liver were observed by Hematoxylin-Eosin and Masson Staining. Reverse Transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), immunohistochemistry and Western-blotting were used to determine the mRNA and protein expressions of TPM1, TGFβ1 and α-SMA in rat models and HSC-T6 cells and the localization of TPM1 in rat models.
RESULTSRat models of hepatic fibrosis were successfully established. TPM1 was lowly stained in the wall of blood vessels in portal areas in normal livers, in fibrotic livers TPM1 was mainly stained along the fibrotic septum. The mRNA and protein expressions of TPM1 and α-SMA in rat models of hepatic fibrosis increased at the week 2 and peaked at week 6, which was statistical significance compared to control group, P < 0.05; TGF-β1 increased at week 2 and it was higher than the levels in other groups at week 4, which was statistical significance compared to control group P < 0.05; Correlation analysis showed that TPM1 positively correlated with α-SMA and TGF-β1, rs = 0.688, rs = 0.692, P < 0.01. In HSC-T6, the mRNA expressions of TPM1 and α-SMA increased after being induced by TGF -beta1. compare with control group, the differences were significant, P less than 0.05.
CONCLUSIONTPM1 may be playing an important role in the occurrence and development of liver fibrosis. Maybe it could become a potential therapeutic target for hepatic fibrosis.

OBJECTIVETo study the abdominal adipose area, serum adiponectin and leptin levels of nonalcoholic fatty liver disease in elderly males.
METHODSA total of 238 elderly males (more than 60 years) were enrolled and divided into three groups: Nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD) group (n = 76), matching group (age and body mass index matching with NAFLD group, n = 77), normal control group (n = 85). Serum levels of adiponectin and leptin were measured by RIA (radiological immunological assay). Abdominal adipose area was detected by computer tomography.
RESULT(1) body mass index (BMI), abdominal subcutaneous adipose area, visceral adipose area, total adipose area of NAFLD group and matching group were (26.87+/-2.62) kg/m2 and (26.63+/-1.97) kg/m2, (166.59+/-54.27) cm2 and (147.89+/-50.14) cm2, (148.94+/-53.72) cm2 and (150.06+/-45.47) cm2, (315.25+/-89.42) cm2 and (297.93+/-75.12) cm2, respectively; and were higher than those in control group (P less than 0.01). The abdominal subcutaneous adipose area is higher in NAFLD group than in matching group, however, the abdominal visceral adipose area and total adipose area were not significantly different between those two groups. (2) The serum leptin level in NAFLD group and matching group was significantly higher than that in control group, and serum leptin level was not significantly different between NAFLD group and matching group. The serum adiponectin of NAFLD group [(6.31+/-3.31)mug/ml] was significantly lower than that of matching group [(9.87+/-7.071)mug/ml, P less than 0.01] and control group (P less than 0.01). There was no difference in adiponectin level between matching group and control group. 3) AST, TG, abdominal subcutaneous adipose area, abdominal visceral adipose area were risk factors of NAFLD, while serum adiponectin was protective factor of NAFLD.
CONCLUSIONThese data indicate that elderly male NAFLD patients manifest abdominal obesity, high serum leptin, low serum adiponecin, and suggest that adiponectin may play a crucial role in the pathogenesis of NAFLD in elderly males.

OBJECTIVETo measure the diameter and length of infrarenal inferior vena cava (IVC) in Shandong Peninsula adult through digital subtraction angiography (DSA) for better vena cava filter (VCF) choice and placement.
METHODSFrom April 2008 to June 2010, 83 discontinuous patients (49 males and 34 females, mean age 56.4 years) with deep venous thrombosis (DVT) of lower extremity were placed VCF through DSA according to ACCP-8. During operation, diameter and length of infrarenal IVC were measured. At the same time, the renal vein location and the type of the IVC were identified to help the VCF choice.
RESULTSAll the VCFs were placed successfully, no complications occurred. The diameter of infrarenal IVC was 10 to 26 mm with a mean of (19 ± 5) mm. The average length from beginning of IVC to the lower renal vein was (10.6 ± 2.8) cm. The renal vein was located between the first and second lumbar vertebra, the IVC beginning was located between the fourth and fifth lumbar vertebra.
CONCLUSIONSDiameter and length measurement of infrarenal IVC is helpful to the VCF selection and the domestic VCF research. Vena cava angiography is very important to the accurate placement of VCF.

OBJECTIVEThis study explored the dynamic expression of the E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase gene, Arkadia, in response to carbon tetrachloride (CCl4)-induced liver fibrosis in a mouse model and investigated the differential expression that occurs following treatment with the anti-fibrotic bone morphogenetic protein-7 (BMP-7).
METHODSThirty healthy male imprinting control region (ICR) mice were randomly assigned to three groups: normal (control; n = 6), CCl4-induced model group (model; n = 18), and CCl4-induced model with BMP-7 treatment group (treatment; n = 6). The model group was further divided into three subgroups (n = 6 each) for analysis at 4, 8 and 12 weeks after fibrosis induction. Liver fibrosis was induced by hypodermic injections of 60% CCl4 /peanut oil (5 mL/kg) to the hind legs of mice two-times per week in alternating legs for a period of 12 weeks. At week 9, the treatment group of CCl4-induced mice were given an intraperitoneal injection of BMP-7 (300 pg/g) simultaneously with that day's hypodermic injection of 60% CCl4 /peanut oil, and then every other day for a period of four weeks. The pathological changes in liver tissues were observed after staining with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) and Masson's trichrome. Messenger RNA (mRNA) and protein expression of Arkadia in liver were evaluated using reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction and immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, respectively.
RESULTSMouse models of liver fibrosis were successfully established by CCl4 exposure. Arkadia, Smad7 and TGF-beta1 mRNA levels were up-regulated in the model group in a time-dependent manner (vs. control group), and BMP-7 treatment led to significant down-regulation of the CCl4-induced expression of the three genes (vs. control group: F = 812.80, 451.46, and 998.96, respectively; P less than 0.01). At week 12, the mRNA levels of Arkadia, Smad7, and TGF-b1 were significantly lower in the BMP-7 treatment group than in the model group (t = 12.108, 18.737, and 16.364, respectively; P less than 0.01). Arkadia, Smad7, and TGF-b1 protein staining was weak in the portal area of control liver tissue. In contrast, the model group showed significantly stronger staining for all three proteins in the portal area and in the cytoplasm of liver cells. The staining of Arkadia, Smad7, and TGF-b1 proteins was significantly lower in the treatment group (vs. control group: F = 8.399, 609.690, and 900.561, respectively; P < 0.01). At week 12, the protein levels of Arkadia, Smad7, and TGF-b1 were significantly lower in the treatment group than in the model group (t = 23.438, 11.667, and 42.889, respectively; P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONArkadia expression gradually increased along with the development of liver fibrosis but was suppressed by treatment with the anti-fibrotic factor, BMP-7.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between two exonic polymorphisms of DNA repair gene XPC and the susceptibility to lung cancer.
METHODSGenotypes were determined by the primer introduced restriction analysis-PCR(PIRA-PCR) and the PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) approaches, respectively, in 320 histologically-confirmed lung cancer cases and 322 age and sex frequency-matched cancer-free controls.
RESULTSMultivariate logistic regression analysis revealed that individuals carrying at least one 499Val variant allele (Ala/Val + Val/Val genotypes) had a significantly increased risk for lung cancer (adjusted OR=1.54; 95%CI: 1.11-2.14), compared with the wild-type genotype (499Ala/Ala). Furthermore, individuals with both putative risk genotypes had a significantly higher risk (adjusted OR=2.55; 95%CI: 1.45-4.52), compared with those with both wild-genotypes. In addition, a potential super multiplicative gene-environment interaction between Ala499Val genotypes and smoking on lung cancer risk was unveiled. The odds ratios of lung cancer for individuals with both putative risk genotypes were 2.63 (95%CI=1.23-5.62) in nonsmokers and 7.36 (95%CI=3.19-17.0) in smokers, respectively.
CONCLUSIONThese findings support the hypothesis that these two XPC variants may contribute to the risk of developing lung cancer.
