Objective:To investigate the differentially expressed genes of gastric mucosa of precancerous lesion of chronic atrophic gastritis (CAG) in rats intervented by promoting blood flow therapy of TCM,and to analyze its mechanism at genetic level. Methods:The model of precancerous lesion of CAG rats was induced by spring insertion and intragastric administration of NaCl solution and hot paste. To detect the differentially expressed genes of precancerous lesion of CAG rats by gene chip technology,and the main differentially expressed genes were indentified by real-time PCR. Results:Compared with blank group,HSP70 and ptk2 significantly reduced in natural recovery group,the HSP70 expression increased signifi cantly after being treated with supplementing qi for promoting blood flow,and ptk2 expression increased obviously after being treated with regulating qi and promoting blood flow. The results of real-time PCR in expression level of HSP70mRNA and ptk2mRNA were the same as that of the gene chip technology. Conclusion:Supplementing qi for promoting blood flow can upregulate HSP70,thus inhibit precancerous lesion of CAG in rat gastric mucosal cell apoptosis and promote mucosal repair; Regulating qi and promoting blood flow can up-regulate ptk2,sequentially regular remodeling of actin cytoskeleton and promote repairing and healing of injury gastric mucosal. These may be one of mechanism that supplementing qi for promoting blood flow and regulating qi and promoting blood flow treat precancerous lesion of CAG.

Objective To investigate the anti-tumor effect of ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction (UTMD) mediated herpes simplex virus thymedine kinase (HSV-TK) on mice ovarian cancer.Methods Forty female BALB/c-nu mice were randomly divided into four groups after the models of subcutaneous transplantation tumors were established:(A)HSV-TK + Microbubbles + Ultrasound (HSV-TK+ MBs + US);(B) HSV-TK+ Ultrasound (HSV-TK + US);(C) HSV-TK;(D) PBS.TheTK protein and mRNA expression were separately detected by western-blot and real time RT-PCR.TUNEL staining was used to detect the tumor cell apoptosis.The inhibition rates and survival time of the animals were compared among all groups.Results The HSV-TK gene transfection efficacy and tumor inhibitory effect of HSV-TK on mice transplantable tumor in group A (HSV-TK + MBs + US) were significantly improved compared with group B (HSV-TK + US),group C (HSV-TK) and group D (PBS) (P <0.05).However,group A has no significant difference (P >0.05) with other groups in improving the survival time of tumor-bearing mice.Conclusions Ultrasound-targeted microbubble destruction can effectively transfect HSV-TK gene into target tissues and play a significant inhibition effect on ovarian cancer in mice.However,this new method is not able to improve the survival time of mice for a short-term observation.

Objective To evaluate the prognostic accuracy of the score of toxic epidermal necrolysis (SCORTEN) scoring system in patients with toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) or Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS).Methods Clinical data were collected from 39 patients with SJS/TEN hospitalized in Peking Union Medical College Hospital during April 1992 and March 2014,and retrospectively analyzed.Among the 39 patients,13 had died,and the other 26 patients,who were matched to the dead patients in a ratio of 2:1 for age,all had a definite diagnosis and were discharged with improved conditions.The SCORTEN scoring system was used to evaluate the 39 patients with SJS/TEN and calculate expected mortality.The expected mortality and actual mortality were compared between different groups stratified by age in the 39 patients.The receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to assess the prognostic accuracy of the SCORTEN scoring system.Results According to the SCORTEN scoring system,15 out of the 39 patients scored 1 point,14 scored 2 points,6 scored 3 points,and 4 scored 4 points.The total number of expected deaths was 6.808,while that of actual deaths was 13.There was no significant difference between the expected mortality and actual mortality in every SCORTEN score-based group.The area under curve (AUC) was 0.832 8,indicating a good predictive ability of the SCORTEN scoring system.Conclusion The SCORTEN scoring system can predict mortality in TEN/SJS patients at early stage.

Objective:To evaluate the reliability of flexural strength and subcritical crack growth(SCG)of WL and HT zirconia ce-ramics under cyclic loading.Methods:Bar-shaped speciments of WL(n =30)and HT(n =30)were fabricated and loaded in three-point bending and cyclically fatigued.The flexural strength and the number of cycles to fracture were obtained from three-point flexural test and cyclic fatigue test respectively.Data were examined using Weibull statistics.Pairs law was used to analysize the subcritical crack growth(SCG),the behavior of which was described in terms of crack velocity as a function of maximum stress intensity factor (KImax ).Results:The Weibull module(m)of WL and HT was 10.64 and 12.04,the stress corrosion cracking susceptive indexes(n) 23.71 and 32.87,the SCG 90% and 76.7%,the KImax 49.6% and 50.9% of its maximum stress intensity factor(KIC ),respectively. Conclusion:WL and HT produce pronounced SCG.The minimum fatigue crack growth rate of HT is lower than that of WL(νHT <νWL ).

Aim To investigate the effect of the total flaconoids extracted from Xiaobuxin-Tan g ( XBXT-2 )
on the hyperactivity of hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis in mouse learned helplessness model. Methods Learned helplessness was induced by inescapable foot shock stress over 1h session for 5 days. After screen-ing, we divided learned helplessness mice into five groups:IS, inescapable shock;Dlx, dulxetine(20 mg ·kg-1);XBXT-2(25,50 mg·kg-1). Latency to es-cape shocks and escape failure had been recorded. During the test, Dlx(20 mg·kg-1 ) and XBXT-2(25, 50 mg·kg-1 ) were administered intragastrically once daily for four days. Serum corticosterone level and ad-renocorticotropic hormone ( ACTH ) level were meas-ured by ELISA, and expression of glucocorticoids re-ceptor ( GR) α/β and brain-derived neurotrophic fac-tor ( BDNF ) in hippocampus was determined using Western blot method. Results XBXT-2 (25,50 mg·
kg-1 ) or duloxetine treatment showed antidepressant effect in mouse learned helplessness model, as demon-strated by the decreased escape failure and escape la-tency. Our ELISA results showed that XBXT-2 or du-loxetine significantly decreased serum corticosterone level and its upstream stress hormone ACTH level in learned helplessness mice. Furthermore, Western blot result demonstrated XBXT-2 treatment increased GRs and BDNF expression in hippocampus. Conclusions XBXT-2 produces significant antidepressant effect on learned helplessness mice. In addition, the modulation of HPA axis produced by XBXT-2 may be important mechanism underlying its antidepressant-like effect in mouse learned helplessness model.

Objective:
To explore the function of NLRP1 in noninfectious pulmonary injury (nonIPI) after allogeneic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) .
Methods:
In this study, we established the model of allo-HSCT with C57BL/6 and NLRP-/- mouse as recipients. Chimera rate was measured by flow cytometry. The HE staining was used to observe the pathology changes in the lungs. NLRP1 and relevant inflammatory proteins were measured by Western Blot.
Results:
On the day 14 after allo-HSCT, the chimera rate was more than 96%, HSCs of donors had been successfully transplanted into recipients. HE staining showed that nonIPI occurred after allo-HSCT. The degrees of injuries reached the peak on day 21. In addition, the expressions of MPO, NLRP1, p20, Mature-IL-1β and Mature-IL-18 had same tends with the degrees of nonIPI. When we knocked out NLRP1 gene of recipients, the degrees of nonIPI reduced and the expressions of MPO, p20, Mature-IL-1β and Mature-IL-18 were less than in non-knockout group.
Conclusion
allo-HSCT could cause nonIPI and high expressions of MPO, p20, IL-1β, IL-18, NLRP1. Knocking out NLRP1 gene could alleviate the degrees of nonIPI and reduce the expressions of relevant inflammatory proteins, indicating that NLRP1 might be one of factors contributed to nonIPI after allo-HSCT.
