1.Current status and recognition of pulmonary surfactant for the treatment of acute respiratory distress syndrome
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2016;31(18):1372-1375
Exogenous surfactant replacement has been successfully achieved and become standard therapy in neonatal respiratory distress syndrome,but clinical trials in acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS) had mixed results.Early studies show that pulmonary surfactant(PS) administration in ARDS can significantly improve oxygenation and decrease mortality,but in recent years,some clinical trials haven't achieve the most substantial benefits to long-term patient outcomes.The inconsistent results of clinical trials may have related to aspects of drug composition,dosing,delivery,and timing.At this time,surfactant therapy cannot be recommended as routine therapy in pediatric ARDS.

【Objective】 To explore a method for the construction of antitumor suicide-gene therapeutic system. 【Methods】 The thymidine kinase gene of herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV1-tk) was orientationally cloned into the retroviral vector plasmid (pLXSN) by DNA recombinant technique, and then the recombinant plasmid of pLXSN-tk was identified by restriction endonuclease cutting and DNA sequencing. Introduced by PolyFect Transfection reagent, the recombinant plasmid was transfected into the packaging cell line PT67. Screened by G418, a cell line, which could produce virus stably, was obtained. The virus was transfected into human gastric carcinomatous cell strain SGC-7901 and the transfected SGC-7901 was applied to evaluate an anti-tumor effect. 【Results】 The identification with restriction endonuclease cutting and DNA sequencing showed that HSV1-tk was successfully inserted into the recombined plasmid of pLXSN-tk. The stable cloned PT67/tk was obtained by screening with G418 and then its amount was enlarged by culture, the titer of the PT67/tk solution being 4?10~4 cfu/mL. The anti-G418 cloned cell line SGC-7901/tk was got by infecting SGC-7901 with the virus. Anti-tumor experiment showed that GCV had an obvious toxic effect on SGC-7901/tk but had no effect on SGC-7901, indicating recombinant retroviral HSV1-tk expressed HSV1-tk gene which had biological activity. 【Conclusion】 Cloning HSV1-tk into the retroviral vector is effective in obtaining the recombinant retroviral HSV1-tk which can express HSV1-tk gene, and also effective in establishing an antitumor suicide-gene therapeutic system. This research naturally lays a foundation for further studying of Chinese medicines having synergistic anti-tumor action with suicide gene.

Suicide - gene therapy is now regarded as a new method for tumor with good prospect. Since bystander effect is the main mechanism and is positively correlated with the immune function, stimulating the immune function of tumor carriers and improving the inflammatory microimmune situation are two important keys to good therapeutic effect. As it is known that Chinese herbal medicine is effective in improving human immune function and has less toxic effect, therefore, suicide - gene therapy combined with Chinese herbal medicine may be a new, safe and economic regimen for tumor.

Objective To investigate the potential role of Lycium bararum polysaccharide (LBP) with or without interferon -inducible protein 10 ( CXCL10) in inducing dendritic cells ( DC) functional maturation by monitoring the alteration of cytokines for inducing DC maturation in peripheral blood and by detecting the expression of S-100 protein in tumor tissue, thus to reveal its mechanism of inhibiting experimental liver cancer. Methods H22 bearing mice model was established. The mice were randomized into model group, LBP group (50 mg/kg, ig), CXCL10 (right axillary subcutaneous injection of 15 μg/kg), LBP + CXCL10 group (LBP 50 mg/kg, ig, and right axillary subcutaneous injection of CXCL10 15 μg/kg), 5- fluorouracil (5FU) group ( intraperitoneal injection of 12mg/kg) , 12 mice in each group. The mice were administered the corresponding medicine once a day. After treatment for 2 continuous weeks, blood was sampled from infraorbital vein, and the tumor mass, spleen, thymus were extracted for the calculation of anti-tumor rate, thymus index and spleen index separately . The mRNA expression levels of interleukin 12 (IL-12) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in peripheral blood were detected by fluorescence quantitative PCR, the expression of S-100 protein in tumor tissues was detected by immunohistochemical assay. Results Compared with the model group, tumor growth in LBP group and LBP+CXCL10 group was obviously inhibited, and tumor-inhibitory rate was 55.90%, 50.91%, respectively. Meanwhile, the mRNA expression level of IL-12 was 2.94 folds higher in LBP group and 3.39 folds higher in LBP + CXCL10 group, and TNF-α mRNA expression level was 1.55 folds higher in LBP group and 4.74 folds higher in LBP+CXCL10 group than the model group, the differences being statistical significant ( P<0.05 or P<0.01). Results of immunohistochemical assay showed that S-100+DC number in LBP group and LBP+CXCL10 group was larger than that in the model group (P<0.05 ). Conclusion LBP and LBP+CXCL10 exert significant effect on inhibiting experimental liver cancer. The mechanism may be related with inducing the secretion of IL-12 and TNF-α, which plays a key role in inducing DC maturation, and with the increase of the number of DC in tumor microenvironment.
