Objective To study the relation between p38 MAPK pathway and multidrug resistance of stomach cancer. Methods The activity of p38 MAPK in gastric cancer cell SGC7901 and multidrug resistant cell SGC7901/VCR was examined by immunoprecipitation after treating with vincristine for 0,2,15,30,60 minutes. Results Vincristine could activate the activity of p38 MAPK in gastric cancer cell SGC7901 and multidrug resistant cell SGC7901/VCR. The difference between them was that in cell SGC7901 vincristine activate the p38 MAPK rapidly whereas in cell SGC7901/VCR slowly. Conclusion Vincristine could affect the activity of p38 MAPK in gastric cancer cell SGC7901 and multidrug resistant cell SGC7901/VCR.

Objective To investigate the effects of propofol on death-associated protein kinase (DAPK) mRNA expression in a rat model of traumatic brain injury (TBI). MethodsSixty male Wistar rats with a mean age of 3-4 months and mean body weight of 250-300 g were randomly divided into 6 groups ( n = 10 each) : Ⅰ normal control;Ⅱ sham operation; Ⅲ TBI; Ⅳ normal saline (NS) +TBI;Ⅴ fat emulsinn+ TBI and Ⅵ propefol + TBI. TBI was produced according to Feeney et al. In group Ⅲ-Ⅵ the animals were killed and their brains were removed at 24 h after brain contusion. NS 2 ml·kg-1 · h-1 , 10% fat emulsion 2 ml · kg-1 · h-1 and propofol 2 ml·kg-1·h-1 were infused iv for 4 h after lead trauma in group Ⅳ, Ⅴ and Ⅵ respectively. DAPK mRNA expression in the brain tissue was determined by RT-PCR and neuronal apeptosis was assessed by TUNEL. Results The expression of DAPK mRNA and neuronal apoptosis were significantly increased in the TBI group as compared with normal control and sham operation groups. Propefol infusion significantly attenuated neuronal apoptosis and reduced DAPK mRNA expression as compared with TBI, NS and FE groups. ConclusionPropofol can protect the brain from traumatic injury by suppression of the expression of DAPK mRNA.

To investigatethe relationship between p38 MAPK pathway and multidrug resistance of stomach cancer. The activity of p38 MAP kinase in stomach cancer cell SGC7901 and multidrug resistant cell SGC7901/VCR were examined by immunoprecipition after adriamycin treatment SGC7901 for 0, 2, 15, 30 and SGC7901/VCR for 0, 2, 15, 30, 60 minutes,respectively. The results indicated that adriamycin could activate the activity of p38 MAP kinase in gastric cancer cell SGC7901 with time dependency, but could decrease remarkably the activity of p38 MAP kinase in gastric cancer multidrug resistant cell SGC7901/VCR after adriamycin treatment it for 15 minutes. It suggested that adriamycin could affect the activity of p38 MAPK in gastric cancer cell SGC7901 and multidrug resistant cell SGC7901/VCR.

BACKGROUND: Dendritic cells, the most potent antigen presenting cells known at present, have been extensively used in the immunotherapy as adjuvant. OBJECTIVE: The present study was to construct Der p 2 eukaryotic expression vector and validate its expression in the mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A single sample observation was performed at the Institute of Respiratory Disease,Xinqiao Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between May and December 2005. MATERIALS: C57BL/6 mice were included. Plambd-Der p 2 was the product of Heska Company, USA.pCI-neo plasmid was provided by the Institute of Respiratory Disease, Xinqiao Hospital, Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.METHODS: Mouse bone marrow-derived dendritic cells were in vitro isolated and cultured.Complete Der p 2 cDNA was spliced from prokaryotic expression vector plambd-Der p 2, and then cloned into eukaryotic expression vector pCI-neo (pCI-neo-Der p 2).The positive recombinants pCl-neo-Der p 2 transfected into dendritic cells.Non-transfected and blank vector pCI-neo-transfected dendritic cells were used as controls. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Identification of pCI-neo-Der p 2 recombinant plasmid.②Detection of Der p 2 mRNA and protein expression by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western Blot techniques. RESULTS: Sequencing results showed Der p 2 cDNA in pCI-neo-Der p 2 was in coincidence with the sequence registrated in Gene Bank.RT-PCR and Western Blot results showed that expression of Der p 2 mRNA and protein could be detectable in the pCI-neo-Der p 2-transfected dendritic cells. CONCLUSION: The Der p 2 cDNA was successfully constructed into the eukaryotic expression vector, and Der p 2 gene and protein could be expressed efficiently in dendritic cells.

To enhance the fusion of graft bone in thoracolumbar vertebrae and minimize the postoperative loss of correction, short-segment pedicle screw fixation was reinforced with posterior moselizee bone grafting in vertebrae for spinal fusion in patients with thoracrolumbar vertebrate fractures. Seventy patients with thoracrolumbar vertebrate fractures were treated by short-segment pedicle screw fixation and were randomly divided into two groups. Fractures in group A (n=20) were reinforced with posterior morselized bone grafting in vertebrae for spinal fusion, while patients group B (n=50) did not receive the morselized bone grafting for bone fusion. The two groups were compared in terms of kyphotic deformity, anterior vertebral height, instrument failure and neurological functions after the treatment. Frankel grading system was used for the evaluation of neurological evaluation and Denis scoring scale was employed for pain assessment. The results showed that the kyphosis correction was achieved in both group A and group B (group A: 6.4 degree; group B: 5.4 degree)/ At the end of follow-up, kyphosis correction was maintained in group A but lost in group B (P=0.0001). Postoperatively, greater anterior height was achieved in group A than in group B (P<0.01). During follow-up study, anterior vertebral height was maintained only in Group A (P<0.001). Both group A and group B showed good Denis pain scores (P1 and P2) but group A outdid group B in terms of control of severe and constant pain (P4 and P5). By Frankel criteria, the changes in neurological functions in group A was better than those of group B (P<0.001). It is concluded that reinforcement of short-segment pedicle fixation with morselized bone grafting for the treatment of patients with thoracolumbar vertebrae fracture could achieve and maintain kyphosis correction, and it may also increase and maintain anterior vertebral height. Morselized bone grafting in vertebrae offers immediate spinal stability in patients with thoracolumbar vertebrate fractures, decreases the instrument failure and provides better postoperative pain control than without the morselized bone grafting.

Objective To analyze CD+4 CDHi25 CDLo127 regulatory T cells (Treg) in peripheral blood of patients with thyroid nodules and differentiated thyroid cancer and their change regularity, and to investigate the immunosuppression mechanism. Methods The peripheral blood was collected from 175 patients with thyroid nodules, including 43 patients with differentiated thyroid cancer and 132 patients with nodular goiter.By using monoclonal antibodies, the blood samples were evaluated with the flow cytomertry for lymphocyte subsets and Treg cells. Results The results showed the prevalence of the CD+4 CDHi25 CDLo127 Treg in differentiated thyroid cancer group [(6.48±1.49) %] and nodular goiter group [(6.23+1.67) %] was higher than those in the healthy group [(5.62±1.48) %], and the difference was significant(P < 0.005), but there was no significant difference between the nodular goiter group and differentiated thyroid cancer group (P >0.005).Conclusion It is concluded that the relative increase of CD+4 CDHi25 CDLo127 Treg in peripheral blood of patients with nodular goiter and differentiated thyroid cancer may be related to immunosuppression and tumor progression.

Objective To understand how about the female consumers know the skin conditions of themselves and which they concern by a comprehensive questionnaire. Methods Three hundred and twenty-eight healthy volunteers in Shanghai were involved in this study. They were divided into 5 age groups equally. The questionnaire included the skin conditions, i.e. skin moisture, sebum, whiteness, redness, xanthochromia, homogeneity, spots, fine line, wrinkle, elasticity, angiotelectasis,pore, sagging, smoothness, gloss, roughness, scales and sensitivity. Each condition was divided into 10 grades to assess the skin conditions of the face (exposed site), upper arm (non-exposed site) and the perfect skin status. SPSS11.5 software was used to analyze the correlations of the skin conditions with ages. Results The skin concerns were difference in the 5 groups. Skin aging of sagging, wrinkle, spots and fine line became prominent from group C (35 to 40 years old). The correlations between the skin concerns of facial moisture, sebum, whiteness, homogeneity, spots, wrinkle, fine line, elasticity, sagging, sensitivity, upper arm sebum, spots, elasticity, angiotelectasis, sagging and roughness with ages were very significant (P＜0.01). Conclusion The changes of the volunteers'concerns about sebum, pore, sagging, elasticity, fine line and wrinkle with age in different age group are consistent with the quantitative measurement results from the oversea studies.

Objective To explore effects of sequel recanalization PCI therapy(primary coronary intervention,PCI) on cardiac function for the patients with acute ST segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI),and related factors.Methods 116 patients with STEMI enrolled were divided randomly into two groups:sequel recanalization PCI group(58 cases) and conventional PCI group(58 cases),and the patients of sequel recanalization PCI group were fully absorbed for thrombus before conventional PCI,then compared estoration of their cardiac function of the patients of two groups at once and 2 weeks after PCI procedure,respectively.Meantime to study the effect related-factors for cardiac function by Logistic regression analysis.Results There were significant differences between two groups in RESVmax(P =0.03) 、RESVmin(P = 0.00) 、REFmax(P = 0.00)、 REDVmax(P = 0.01) and the ratio of E/A(P =0.02)(all P＜0.05);it showed that the restoration of cardiac function of sequel recanalization PCI group was faster than that of conventional PCI group.If sequel recanalization PCI served as a variable for predicting REFmax being 50%,the results of logistic regression showed that OR(odds ratio) value was 3.47,95% CI(confidence interval) 1.39-9.75,P =0.04.Among other variables,as was time-to-recanalization(OR =4.59,P =0.01);infarct size(OR =4.59,P=0.01);Kiliip grades(OR = 3.99,P =0.02)and age(OR=2.75,P=0.04).Conclusion The sequel recanalization PCI could be better than conventional PCI for the patients with STEMI in restoration of heart function,but there should be some other effective factors.
