Objective To investigate the effects of mild hypothermia (32.5 - 33.5℃) on neuronal cell apoptosis , Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression in hippocampus following global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats. Methods Twenty-four male Wistar rats weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into three groups of 8 animals : (A) control group-normothermia-sham operation; (B) normothermia-global cerebral I/R (N-I/R); (C) hypothermia-global cerebral I/R (H-I/R) . Global cerebral I/R was produced by occlusion of bilateral common carotid arteries combined with hypotension (MAP = 40mmHg) induced by exsanguinations. Global cerebral ischemia was confirmed by dilated pupils and EEG. Global cerebral ischemia was maintained for 20 min followed by 72 h reperfusion. Mild hypothermia was induced by alcohol spreyed over the rats combined with fanning and maintained at 32.5-33.51 for 3 h. At the end of 72 h reperfusion the animals were sacrificed and hippocampus was obtained for detection of neuronal cell apoptosis (TUNEL) and Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression (immuno -histochemistry technique) . Results The number of apoptotic neuronal cells increased significantly in group B (N-I/R) and C (H-I/R) compared with that in control group (A) (P

The aim of this study was to demonstrate the effect of acid inhibitor on the function and ultrastructure of gastric parietal cells in rats under immersion and restraint stress. Thirty two male SD rats were randomly divided into control, stress, omeprazole and cimetidine treated groups. The gastric mucosal ulcer index (UI) and gastric juice pH were measured. The ultrastructural changes of parietal cells were observed by transmission electronic microscopy (TEM). The UI was decreased and the pH value was increased obviously in omeprazole and cimetidine treated groups compared with stress group ( P

Objective To evaluate in vitro anti tumor effect of host lymphocyte primed by CalmetteGuerin bacillus (CGB) activated dendritic cells (DC) based PANC1 lysate. Methods DCs were obtained from peripheral blood mononuclear cells of healthy volunteer and cuitured by rhGM CSF and rhIL 4. DC vaccines for pancreatic cancer were loaded with PANC1 tumor lysate (TL) and were further maturated by CGB.CD1a, CD83, CD86 and HLA-DR phenotype was characterized by flow cytometer, and IL-12p70 and TNF-α concentration in DC culture supernatant were measured by ELISA. Autologous mixed lymphocyte proliferation and the cytotoxicity of cytotoxic T lymphocytes primed by activated DCs to PANC1, PaTu8988 and SCG7901 tumor cells was measured by CCK 8 test. Results When DCs based PANC1 lysate were activated by CGB,the expression rates of CD83 and CD86 were increased from (3.7±0.3)% and (38.6±5.0)% to (16.5±0.6)% and (76.6±2.5)% (P ＜0.05 ). The concentrations of cytokines ILpl2p70 and TNF-α were increased from (20.18±2.06 ) pg/mland (61.38±1.19) pg/mlto (62.48±3.80) pg/mland (592.53±17.96)pg/ml (P＜0. 01 ). When co-cultured with CGB activated DCs based PANC1 lysate in proportion of 0.40)% , (3.39±1.05)% , (2.82±0.39)% significantly increased to (55.38±3.58)% , (75.0±2.54) % , (77.07±3.4)% , (99.07±2.4)% (P＜0.01) , respectively. The killing effects of lymphocytes 2.77)%, (19.03±3.04) %; but the killing effects on PaTu8988 and SCG7901 were significantly decreased.Conclusions DC vaccines for pancreatic cancer could be more maturated when activated by CGB, and could show a high capability of anti-tumor in vitro.

Objective To investigate the risk factors associated with abnormal cervical cytology findings in pregnant women. Methods From Sep. 2007 to Sep. 2008, 12 112 pregnant women who underwent their antenatal examinations at 12-36 gostational weeks in Beijing Obsteties and Gynecology Hospital were enrolled in this study. They were all excluded from the following pathologic obstetrics factors including threatened abortion, premature rupture of membranes or placental previa Thinprep cytology test (TCT) were given at their first examination, meanwhile, a personal clinic file was established to record her occupation, education, address, family income, nationality, age of first intercourse, number of sex partners, contraception, marriage and pregnancy, current gynecologic diseases, family history of gynecologic tumors, history of gynecologic diseases and smoking and result of pelvic examination. Those risk factors leading to abnormal cervical cytology were analyzed. Results The complete clinical data were collected from 11 906 cases(98.30%, 11 906/12 112). It was found that 10 354 women were shown with normal TCT result, however, 1134 women (9.52%, 1134/11 906) with atypical squamaous cells of undetermined significance(ASCUS), 112 women (0.94%, 112/11 906) with atypical glandular cells of undetermined significance(AGUS), 229 women (1.92%, 229/11 906) with low grade squamaous intraepithelial(LSIL),74 women (0.62%, 74/11906) with high grade squamaous intraepithelial(HSIL). Multiple factorial non-conditioned logistic regression analysis showed that age of first sexual intercourse (OR_(ASCUS)=2.90, OR_(AGUS)=7. 32), number of sex partners (OR_(AGUS)=1.49, OR_(AGUS)=2. 02), number of abortion (OR_(ASCUS)=1.68,OR_(AGUS)=3.50) were correlated with ASCUS and AGUS. In LSIL group and HSIL group, age of first sexual intercourse (OR_(LSIL)=6. 34, OR_(HSIL)=9.26), number of sex partners (OR_(LSIL)=1.69, OR_(HSIL)=1.6.5),number of abortion (OR_(LSIL)=1.53, OR_(HSIL)=5. 33), smoking (OR_(LSIL)=1.84, OR_(HSIL)=1.77) were remarkable variables. The infection of human papilloma virus (HPV) and trichomonas vaginitis were correlated with abnormal cervical cytology(including ASCUS, AGUS, LSIL and HSIL) significantly (P< 0.01). Columnar epithelium dystopia were also significantly correlated with abnormal cervical cytology (χ~2=43. 269, P=0. 000). However, abnormal cervical cytology was uncorrelated with degrees of Columnar epithelium dystopia. Conclusions The risk factors associated with abnormal cervical cytology in pregnant women were the same with those of non-pregnant women.

Objective To investigate whether pantoprazole (PPZ), a proton pump inhibitor,could reverse the transmember pH gradient by inhibiting vacuolar H+-ATPase so as to increase the sensitivity of human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line SGC7901 to antitumor drugs and to evaluate the optimal time of drug administration, dosage of PPZ and the possible mechanism. Methods Western blotting and immunofluorescent staining were used to determine the expression and intracellular distribution of vacuolar H+-ATPase in human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line SGC7901 with or without PPZ pretreatment. 2', 7'-bis-(2-carboxyethyl)-5-(and-6)-carboxyfluorescein, acetoxymethyl ester (BCECF-AM) fluorescent probe was used to measure the intracellular pH value of human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line SGC7901 which pretreated with different dose and time of PPI. Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay and annexin V-fluorescent isothiocyanate-propidium iodide double staining were performed to evaluate the cytotoxic effects and apoptosis of cells treated with antitumor drugs combined with PPZ. Adriamycin (ADR) was used as probe to estimate drug accumulation and retention with PPZ pretreatment. Results After 24 hours, the expression of vacuolar H+-ATPase in cells pretreated with PPZ of 10 μg/ml (1.19±0.03) or 100 μg/ml (0. 70±0.03) was significantly lower than that in blank control (1.53±0. 05), but this expression was increased by pretreatment with PPZ of 1 μg/ml (2.29 +0.06, P<0.05). The inhibitory effects of PPZ (10 μg/ml) on vacuolar H+-ATPase was observed at 6 hours (0.32±0.02)and 12 hours (0. 13±0.02). And it could alter the intracellular distribution of vacuolar H+-ATPase at 24-hours. The intracellular pH value in cells pretreated with PPZ of 10 μg/ml (7.44±0. 09 ) or 100 μg/ml (7.31 ± 0. 06) was significantly decreased in comparison with untreated cells (7.51±0.05, P< 0. 01). After administration of anti-tumor drugs, the viability in SGC7901 cells pretreated with PPZ for 24 hours (58.71%±1.18 %) was significantly lower than that in cells untreated with PPZ (74. 33% ± 1.77%, P<0.05), while thetotal and early apoptotic rates in former cells(80.81% ±1. 16% and 77.52 %±1.13 %, respectively) were significantly higher than those in later cells (26. 42%±1.19% and 23. 18% ±0.92%,respectively,P < 0. 01). And the ADR releasing index in cells treated with PPZ (20, 50 and 100 μg/ml) for 24 hours was obviously lower than that in the blank control (0. 164±0. 013, 0. 162±0.015, 0. 152±0. 012 vs 0. 277±0. 011, respectively, P<0. 01). Conclusion The sensitivity of human gastric adenocarcinoma cell line to antitumor drugs may be increased by pretreatment with PPZ.
