Objective To observe the immunohistochemical changes of ICAM-1,MMP-2 and MMP-9 in the lungs of immunocompromised rats with Pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia and their relationships with lung inflammation.Methods After the establishment of pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia infected immunocompromised rat mode,the pathological changes of lungs were observed, lung wet/dry ratios and total protein concentration in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid were tested,and imunnohistochemical study of ICAM-1,MMP-2 and MMP 9 in lung tissue were performed.Results 1.The staining intensity of ICAM-1 in alveolar epithelial cells turned stronger in rats with pulmonary infection than those without of both groups(P＜0.05);2.The staining intensity of MMP-2 in lung tissue was stronger in rats with pulmonary infection than those without infection in both groups,and reached peak at 6～9 h after inoculation.Immunohistochemical changes of MMP-9 exhibited a similar pattern,4.Immunohistochemical changes of ICAM-1,MMP-2 and MMP-9 showed some correlation with numbers of polymorphonuclears in lung tissue(P＜0.05);5.A correlation between the stai- ning intensity of MMP-9 in bronchial epithelial eells and total protein concentrations were observed(r_s =0.484,P＜0.05),similar association were found between the staining intensity of MMP-2 in alveolar epithelial cells,endothelium of arterioles and venules and tissues beneath endothelium and to- tal protein eoncentrations in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid(r_s were 0.457,0.492 and 0.429,respec- tively,P＜0.05).Conclusion In immunocompromised rats,the staining intensity of ICAM-1, MMP-2 and MMP-9 in lung tissue of those with pseudomonas aeruginosa pneumonia were stronger than those without infection,and the changes were demonstrated some correlation with the levels of polymorphonuclears infiltration or severity of lung injury.

Objective To investigate the efficacy of imatinib combining with allogeneic hematopioetic stem cell transplantation or chemotherapy for bcr-abl positive acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Methods 12 cases were diagnosed on morphology, cytochemistry, immunophenotype and bcr-abl fusion gene. The induction is imatinib (400 mg/d) combining chemotherapy. 8 cases accepted allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation after complete remission (CR). If bcr-abl became positive, the patient was treated with imatinib (400～600 mg/d). 3 cases were tested with imatinib alternating chemotherapy after cr. Results 11 patients gained CR, CR rate 91.7 %; 5 patients (41.7 %) became bcr-abl negative through 2 courses induction. 3 cases relapsed after transplantation. 2 cases relapsed in imatinib combining chemotherapy group. The median remission interval is 16 months (imatinib combining transplantation group) and 10 months (imatinib combining chemotherapy group) (P <0.01) respectively. The median survival time is 18 months (imatinib combining transplantation group), and the other group (imatinib combining chemotherapy) is 12 months (P <0.01). Conclusion Imatinib combining chemotherapy achieved high CR rate for the bcr-abl positive ALL. Imatinib combining allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation is superior to imatinib combining chemotherapy for CR patients.

This article dealed with the effects of processing method and duration on the major bioactive components (sinigrin and sinapine thiocyanate) in Brassica juncea. The contents of sinigrin and sinapine thiocyanate in decoctions of raw and processed B. juncea were determined and compared by high performance liquid chromatography on a Alltima C18 column (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 microm) at 35 degrees C with the acetonitrile-0.1% phosphoric acid as the mobile phrase in gradient elution. The detection wavelength of sinigrin and sinapine thiocyanate was set at 227 nm and 326 nm, and the flow rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1). It was found that with the extended processing duration, the contents of sinigrin and sinapine thiocyanate first increased and then decreased: i.e., 0-2 minutes they increased gradually (for sinigrin, by 9.65% in processed products and 356. 10% in powder; for sinapine thiocyanate, by 12.82% in processed products and 3.41% in powder), and achieved their highest content at 2 min; then, decreased during the next 5 minutes (for sinigrin, by 80.35% in processed products and 82.09% in powder; for sinapine thiocyanate, by 14.29% in processed products and 17.54% in powder), suggesting that processing duration could significantly affect the contents of bioactive components in B. juncea, enzymatic hydrolysis of sinigrin when the seed is crushed in the present of moisture may be responsible for the content change. It is recommended that the slow fire should be the best processing method and the raw seed could be used directly in the water extracts related industrial production.
