Background Herpetic stromal keratitis (HSK) is an immunopathologic eye disorder mediated by CD4+ T lymphocytes.Interleukin-9 (IL-9) is a cytokine linked to the process of many immune inflammatory diseases,but whether IL-9 is involved in the immunopathology of HSK remains unclear.Objective This study was to investigate the expression of IL-9 in murine cornea during the development of HSK and its relationship with the degree of HSK.Methods One hundred and eighty clean BALB/c mice were divided into the normal control group (20 mice) and experimental group (160 mice).HSK models were established by scratching on the surface of the cornea followed by inoculation of 1 × 106 plague forming unit(PFU) herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) KOS strain.Change of ocular surface was examined under the slit lamp biomicroscopy before and I day,3,5,7,8,10,14,21 days after inoculation of HSV-1.The corneas of mice were collected on the time points mentioned above.The relative expression level of IL-9 mRNA in the cornea of mice was detected by real-time PCR.Immunocytochemical localization of IL-9 protein in murine cornea was viewed by a confocal microscope after preparation of the corneal cryostat sections.All experimental manipulations were undertaken in accordance with the institutional guidelines for the care and use of laboratory animals.Results Punctiform,dendriform or geographic defect in corneal epithelium were seen 3 days and healing 6 days after inoculation of HSV-1.However,edema and opacity of the corneal stroma appeared 7 days and peaked 14 days following the inoculation.Real-time PCR assay showed that very little of IL-9 mRNA (A260/A280) was expressed in the cornea in the mice of the control group.But in 1 day,3,5,7,8,10 and 14 days,the relative level of IL-9 mRNA was 6.37±0.45,5.66±0.53,3.93±0.35,3.62±0.34,3.23±0.18,2.57±0.14,2.19±0.20,with a significant difference among the various time points (F=92.764,P=0.000),and IL-9 mRNA in 1 day,3,5,7,8,10 and 14 days after inoculation was significantly higher than before inoculation (P＜0.05);while no markedly difference was found in IL-9 mRNA expression between the 21-day group after inoculation and the normal control group (P =0.340).IL-9 protein was expressed in the epithelial layer,stromal layer and endothelial cell layer of the corneas,with a stronger green fluorescence in the HSK mice,but no expression of IL-9 protein was seen in the control mice.Conclusions HSK model can be successfully created by corneal scratching and inoculation of HSV-1 KOS strain in BALB/c mouse.IL-9 is involved in the pathogenesis and development of HSK mediated by immunoresponse.

Objective:To study the effect of sulforaphane(SFN) on the growth of human bladder cancer cell and its mechanism in vitro. Method:Morphological characteristics of T24 cell nucleus induced by SFN were observed by AO/EB fluorescein staining .The effect of SFN on the T24 cell cycle was determined by flow cytometry. The expression of TrxR at the transcriptional and translational levels were measured by RT-PCR and Western blot methods respectively. Results:(1) After the cells were treated with 10 ?mol/L and 20 ?mol/L SFN for 24 h and 48 h, nuclear fragmentation and apoptotic body were seen under fluorescence microscope. (2) SFN could block the cell cycle at the G0/G1 phase showed by flow cytometry. Moreover, the treatment of 20 ?mol/L SFN for 48h could cause the appearance of sub-G1 before G0/G1 phase. (3) The expression of TrxR mRNA were increased by the treatment of 10 ?mol/L SFN for 4 h, 10 h,24 h ,compared with the control group. Furthermore ,the treatment with high dose SFN (20 ?mol/L ) for 10h or 24 h could induce the expression of TrxR mRNA more significantly . (4)The expression of TrxR protein in the 10 ?mol/L SFN for 24 h group was augmented compared with the control group , and aftertreatment with 20 ?mol/L SFN for 8 h and 24 h, its expression was significantly higher than that in the control group . Conclusion:SFN can inhibit the growth of T24 cell ,induce apoptosis and arrest T24 cell in G0/G1 phase. Its mechanism is associated with the induction of TrxR both at the transcriptional and translational levels.

RT-PCR, ELISA and western blotting analysis showed that there were the transcription and translation of VEGF 165 gene in anti-G418 CHO cells. The mile's assay showed that the expressed VEGF 165 could increase the vessel permeability, and MTT assay proved that it could promote the proliferation of endothelial cells. Conclusion pcDNA3 1-VEGF 165 plasmid could express VEGF 165 with biological activities in mammalian cells.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of different strategy of antithrombotic therapy in elderly patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) and coronary disease.Methods 224 inpatients and outpatients with AF and coronary disease whose mean follow-up time was 2 years,were divided into warfarin group,warfarin combined with antiplatelet drug(aspirin or clopidogrel) group,antiplatelet drug(aspirin or clopidogrel) group and control group.The thromboembolic event rate and adverse events incidence were observed in different groups.Results The risk of thromboembolic events,particular emerging risk of cerebral infarction in the control group(12.50 ％) was significantly higher than other groups (P＜ 0.05).Thrombotic event rates in warfarin + single joint group(2.78％) was lower than other groups(warfarin group 4.29 ％,single joint group 5.81％),but there was no significant statistical difference.The overall risk of bleeding in the control group (3.13 ％) was significantly lower than other antithrombotic group (P＜0.05).The incidence of skin bruising in single joint group was lower than other antithrombotic groups,the overall bleeding risk,especially gasfrointestinal bleeding in warfarin+ single joint group was significantly higher than other groups (P＜ 0.05).Conclusion Elderly patients with coronary heart disease and atrial fibrillation need antithrombotic therapy to prevent thrombotic events.Using warfarin alone or warfarin combined antiplatelet drug does not lead to serious bleeding events,but generally bleeding risk should be attracted more attention.

BACKGROUND:The mycobacterium tuberculosis heat shock protein 10 exerts effects on the osteoclasts by in vitro mouse cranium experiment,
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect and mechanism of recombinant mycobacterium tuberculosis heat shock protein 10 (CPN10) on the differentiation of osteoclasts in the in vitro culture system that induces osteoclast differentiation.
METHODHuman macrophage colony-stimulating factor-dependent adhesive blood mononuclear cells were divided into four groupreceptor activator for nuclear factor-κB ligand (RANKL)+CPN10 (1 mg/L), RANKL, CPN10 (1 mg/L), and negative control (complete culture medium). Monocytes were resuspended in a-MEM medium containing macrophage colony-stimulating factor, and were cultured in each group for 7, 14, 21 days. The morphology, quantity and bone resorption area of osteoclasts were examined by tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP) staining. The expressions of NFATc1 and c-Fos gene and protein were also detected.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In negative control group, no TRAP-positive multinucleated osteoclasts generated, while in the other groups, TRAP-positive multinucleated osteoclasts differentiated and formed the lacunae in the smal bone grinding. The number of osteoclasts formation and resorption in CPN10 group were significantly lower than that in RANKL+CPN10 group. The expression of NFATc1 and c-Fos in the negative control group C was significantly lower than that of RANKL+CPN10 group and CPN10 group. However, CPN10 expressed NFATc1 and c-Fos protein, which was significantly lower than RANKL+CPN10 group. CPN10 is involved in the formation of osteoclasts, and the mechanism is related with the upregulation of NFATc1, c-Fos expression.

Objective To analyze the changes of celluar and humoral immunity in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis(JIA),as well as the changes in different subtypes,and to investigate the role of cellular and humoral immunity in the pathogenesis of JIA.Methods Ninety-two JIA subjects and 82 controls(healthy children) were included into this study.The levels of T lymphocyte subsets,natural killer (NK)cells,and B cells were analyzed by using flow cytometry.The serum interleukin-1 (IL-1),tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-l0 (IL-10),transforming growth factor-β(TGF-β) levels were detected by using enzyme-linked imnmunosorbent assay (ELISA).The serum IgG,IgM,IgA and C3,C4 levels were detected by using velocity scatter turbidimetry.Independent t-test,One-Way ANOVA test and Pearson analysis were adopted for data analysis.Results 1.In the group of JIA,the levels of CD3,CD4,IL-1,TNF-α,IgG,IgM,IgA and C3 were higher than those in the control group(all P ＜ 0.05),while the levels of CD4CD25,CD8,NK cells,IL-10 and TGF-β were lower than those in the control group(all P ＜0.05),and the ratio of CD4/CD8 was higher than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).2.In the group of systemic-onset JIA (so-JIA),the levels of CD4,IL-1,TGF-β,IgG,IgM,IgA,C3 and the ratio of CD4/CD8 were higher than those in the oligoarthritis JIA group(all P ＜ 0.05),while the levels of CD4CD25,CD8,IL-10 were lower than those in the oligoarthritis JIA group(all P ＜ 0.05).In the group of polyarthritis JIA,the levels of IL-1,TNF-α,IgG,IgM and IgA were higher than those in the oligoarthritis JIA group(all P ＜0.05),while the levels of CD4CD25,CD8,IL-10 were lower than those in the oligoarthritis JIA group (all P ＜ 0.05) ; In the group of so-JIA,the levels of CD4,TGF-β,C3 and C4 were higher than those in the polyarthritis JIA group (all P ＜ 0.05).3.The value of IL-1,TNF-α were positively correlated with that of C-reactive protein (CRP),erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) in the JIA group(all P ＜ 0.05),while the value of IL-10,TGF-β was negatively correlated with that of CRP,ESR(all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There are cellular immunity and humoral immunity disorders in the JIA.Cellular immunity and humoral immunity are all involved in the pathogenesis of JIA.T helper cells are activated and Th1 cytokines increase,suppressive T cells,regulatory T cells impairment and suppressive cytokines decrease but immunoglobin increase,which involve in auto inflammation reaction and articular destruction in JIA.The immunity disturbances are more striking in so-JIA and polyarthritis JIA.IL-1,TNF-α,IL-10 and TGF-β are correlated with the disease activity.
