[Objective] To investigate the role of exenatide on angiogenesis in endometrial cancer Ishikawa xenografts in nude mice.[Method] We used the subcutaneous human endometrial cancer cell Ishikawa xenografts in nude mice model,and divided them into control group and exenatide-treated group.The harvested tumors were preserved for immunohistochemistry staining and western blot analysis.[Results] The micro-vessel density (CD31 positive) in exenatide-treated group was (13.2 ± 1.4)/400 power field,less than that in control group [(25.9 ± 5.8)/400 power field] (P ＜ 0.01).The expression level of VEGF was significantly lower in exenatide-treated group than that in control group (P ＜ 0.05).The mean density of tumor associated macrophages (F4/80 positive) is (31.4 ± 3.4)％ in exenatide-treated group and (72.1 ± 4.2)％ in control group with significant difference (P ＜ 0.01).[Conclusion] Exenatide weaks tumor angiogenesis within endometrial cancer Ishikawa xenografts in nude mice.

Phytoestrogen is a kind of plant element which is similar to animal estrogen. Phytoestrogens can prevent progreator system cancer, cardiovascular disease and osteoporosis. Recently more and more researches are reported on the protection of phytoestrogens on central nerve system.

AIM To investigate the effects of ondansetron, a selective 5 Hydroxytryptamine3 (5 HT 3) receptor antagonist, on morphine physical dependence. METHODS The morphine dependent models in mice and in isolated Guinea pig ileum were used. RESULTS Pretreatment of ondansetron for 12 days significantly reduced morphine withdrawal symptoms in mice ,such as body weight loss(Groups 2～100 ?g?kg -1 ?d -1 ) or reduced both body weight loss and jumping times (Group 100 ?g?kg -1 ?d -1 ). In addition, concomitant treatment with ondansetron(1～20 ?mol?L -1 ) dose dependently suppressed the contraction induced by naloxone in Guinea pig ileum. CONCLUSION The chronic pretreatment of ondansetron can prevent morphine physical dependence to some extent.

Objective:To observe the change of CD4 + T cells of SARS patients in early stage of disease and determine its clinical significance on the progress of disease and therapy selection.Methods:Detection the absolute counts of T cell subset from the peripheral blood samples of 52 SARS patients in initial 10 days' duration by Flow cytometry.Serial frontal chest radiographs had done and the progression of disease was observed during the treatment of all patients.Results:The 34 cases among the 52 patients were in normal range of CD4 + cell absolute count.At the same time,their pulmonary lesions were in limited degree and the states of an illness were stabilization and the pulmonary lesions were absorbed quickly.Therefore they reuired the treatment without corticosteroids.The other 18 patients were with low CD4 + cell absolute count, of which 13 cases showed progressive deterioation of radiographic change and were treated with corticosteroids additional.The other 5 cases with the mild low of absolute count of CD4 + cells were also static during the period of observation,and no treatment with coticosteroids.There was statistically significant relation between two groups(P=0 000).The results of Pearson correlate analysis between absolute count of CD4 + cells and pulmonary lesions were r=-0 737;P=0 000;The result between absolute count of CD4 + cells and corticosteroids treatment were r=-0 573;P=0 000.Conclusion:Peripheral blood CD4 + cell absolute counts of SARS patients on early stage of onset were negatively related to the degree of pulmonary lesions.The patients with remarkable decrease of CD4 + cell were in need of treatment with corticosteroids.

97 cases of jaw bone fractures were treated with rigid internal fixation.16 cases had malocclusion postoperation.The etiology was analyzed and the prevention methods were proposed.Intermaxillary elastic traction or fixation and craniomaxillofacial fixation or craniomentum elastic traction were performed to treat the malocclusion.By this way,14 cases were cured.1 case was operated again to resume the normal occlusion,1 case received occlusal adjustment.Incomplete reduction,incorrect operative performance,deficiency of postoperative intermaxillary fixation and incorrect intermaxillary fixation were the main causes to malocclusion.So anatomic in time reduction,correct operative performance,intermaxillary fixation,application of craniomaxillofacial fixation or craniomentum elastic traction instead of intermaxillary fixation for some special cases are effective methods to correct postoperative malocclusion.

Objective To study the construction of the lentiviral-mediated RNA interference(RNAi) vector targering rat suppressors of cytokine signaling 3(SOCS3) gene.Methods Three target sequences were selected by on-line designer software on Ambion according to rat SOCS3 mRNA sequence(NM053565),the complementary DNA contained both sense and antisense oligonucleotides were designed and synthesized.After annealing,these double strands DNA were cloned to pRNA-Lenti-green fluorescent protein(GFP),which contained U6 promoter and GFP.The resulting Lentiviral vector containing SOCS3 shRNA was named pRNA-Lenti-SOCS3-GFP.After the rat glioma cells(C6)were transduced with the constructed 1entiviral vectors,real-time polymerase chain reaction was used to evaluate the level of SOCS3 expression(including siRNA1 group,siRNA2 group,siRNA3 group,vacuity group and siRNA-Negative group).The pRNA-Lenti-SOCS3-GFP and Lentivector Pakaging plasmid mix were cotransfected into 293T to package Lentivirus particles.Culture supematant was harvested,then the virus titer was determined by serial dilution assay.Results The SOCS3 mRNA sequence was successfully cloned to pRNA-Lenti-GFP,which was proved by PCR and DNA sequence.Compared with control group,the SOCS3 mRNA expressions were obviously suppressed in all 3 experimental groups,especially the expression rate in siRNA1 group was reduced by 80%.The Lentiviral particle titer was determined by serial dilution assay with 1.0?1010 TU?L-1.Conclusion The lentiviral-mediated RNAi vector of rat SOCS3 gene has been constructed successfully,this may provide a potential tool for studying and treating SOCS3-related diseases.

AIM:To investigate the influential factors of the blood-brain barrier (BBB) permeability and to observe the effects of zileuton,a selective 5-lipoxygenase inhibitor (5-LO),on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury (CIRI).METHODS:The right middle cerebral artery of the rat was occluded by inserting a thread through internal carotid artery for 2 h,and then reperfused for 24 h. Zileuton (10,50 mg?kg-1,po) was orally administered 2 h before ischemia and at 0,5,10 h after reperfusion. The permeability of blood brain barrier (BBB) was detected by using Evans blue (EB) as a labelling compound. The degree of cerebral edema was estimated by AutoCAD image analysis software. The mRNA of cysteiny leukotrienes receptor1 (CysLTR1) was detected by RT-PCR. The content of LTB4 in serum was measured by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The expressions of AQP4 and MMP-9 proteins were measured by immunohistochemical staining method. RESULTS:After middle cerebral artery occlussion 2 h/reperfusion 24 h,the permeability of BBB in the brain tissue of injured side and the brain edema degree were increased. The content of LTB4 in serum was elevated. The expression of CysLTR1 mRNA from the brain tissue of occluded side was enhanced. The expressions of MMP-9 and AQP4 proteins of the ischemia realm and ischemia penumbra (IP) of the infarct focus perimeter were increased. Both 10 and 50 mg?kg-1 doses of zileuton dramatically relieved the BBB permeability destruction and the degree of the brain edema,inhibited the expression of CysLTR1 mRNA in the brain tissue and also reduced the content of LTB4 in serum. The expressions of AQP4 and MMP-9 proteins in the brain tissue were also decreased.CONCLUSION:The permeability of BBB is destroyed after the focal CIRI. The mechanisms of protective effect of zileuton might be attributed to its effects by inhibiting the activation of 5-LO pathways on the brain tissue and circulatory blood,reducing the expressions of AQP4 and MMP-9 proteins of the ischemia and IP realm in the brain tissue.

Objective To investigate the curative effect of Candesartan on chronic systolic heart failure in Tibetan pla?teau. Methods A total of 526 patients with chronic systolic heart failure were divided into two groups randomly (Treatment group N=252;Control group N=274). Regular medicines, such as cardiac, diuretic and vasodilator drugs , are given to pa?tients in both groups according to their primary underlined diseases. Additionally, enalapril is added in control group, while candesartan is added in treatment group. Improvement of cardiac function, LVEF, LVEDD and blood pressure were compared between these two groups after 8 weeks. Results There was no significant difference in effective rate (i.e., 45.2%in treat?ment group and 44.9% in control group, respectively), efficiency rate (i.e. 54.8% in treatment group and 55.1% in control group, respectively) and inefficiency rate (i.e. 2.0%in treatment group and 2.2%in control group, respectively) between treat?ment and control groups . After treatment, LVEF in the two groups are all improved, while LVEDD and blood pressure both de?creased with statistical significance. However, the difference between the two groups is not significant. Conclusion No sta?tistical difference was found in curative effect on chronic systolic heart failure in Tibetan Plateau between two groups.

Objective To investigate the effects of down-regulation of polo-like kinase-1 (PLK1) gene by RNA interference (RNAi) on the invasion of a human malignant melanoma cell line A375 and their possible mechanisms.Methods Cultured A375 cells were classified into several groups:blank control group receiving no treatment,liposome group transfected with lipofectamine only,and three siRNA groups transfected with three concentrations of a small interference RNA (siRNA) targeting PLK1 respectively.After additional culture,real time quantitative PCR and Western blot analysis were performed to quantify the expressions of PLK1 mRNA and protein in A375 cells respectively,Transwell invasion assay to evaluate the invasive capacity of A375 cells,agarose gel electrophoresis and terminal deoxynucleotidyl-transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick end labelling (TUNEL) to detect anoikis in A375 cells.The colony-forming capacity was also evaluated for A375 cells.Statistical analysis was carried out by one-factor analysis of variance.Results There was a significant decrease in PLK1 mRNA and protein expressions as well as in colony-forming units in the siRNA groups compared with the blank control group (all P ＜ 0.05).The invasive capacity of A375 cells was significantly inhibited in the siRNA groups with the number of migrating cells in Transwell assay being 39 ± 5,19 ± 5 and 9 ± 3 in A375 cells transfected with 3.125,6.250 and 12.500 nmol/L siRNAs respectively,compared to 56 ± 5 in the blank control group (all P ＜ 0.05).A characteristic DNA ladder was observed on agarose gel electrophoresis in the siRNA (6.250 nmol/L) group.Compared with the blank control group and liposome group,the three siRNA groups showed increased apoptotic index (3.86％ ± 0.35％ (3.125 nmol/L siRNA),7.35％ ± 0.36％ (6.250 nmol/L siRNA) and 17.56％ ± 0.38％ (12.500 nmol/L siRNA) vs.1.15％ ± 0.25％ (blank control group) and 1.18％ ± 0.22％ (liposome group),all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions PLK1 siRNA can inhibit the invasion of malignant melanoma cells,likely by inducing anoikis in these cells.
