Objective To explore the effectiveness of short-term integrated intervention to reduce discrimination against people living with HIV/AIDS(PLWHA)among medical students.Methods A quasi-experimental survey was conducted.Two medical schools in Beijing,one as intervention group and the other as control group were selected by convenience sampling,from which 123 undergraduate students or interns of medical and nursing specialties were recruited,62 in the intervention group and 61 in the control group.The intervention group was provided with 13 hour long antidiscrimination intervention by increasing HIV/AIDS related knowledge,sympathy and skill in dealing with people living with HIV/AIDS,while the control group was deprived of any intervention.The attitude of the students in the 2 groups were assessed by questionnaire survey in 5 time points after the intervention.Results Compared with the control group,at 4 time points after the intervention students in the intervention group had less discrimination against PLWHA in general;and significantly less discrimination in dealing with them as patients(P

As an efficient gene transfer vehicle lentiviral vector has been widely used in therapy research. Comparing with other retrovirus vectors, lentiviral vectors have the unique ablility of transfecting nondividing cells and terminal differentiated cells. In addition, lentiviral vectors can accommodate two or more promoters and can carry larger foreign gene insertions. Now the new generation of lentiviral vectors encoding transcriptional control sequence provides effective means for the regulation of foreign gene expression. The development of lentiviral vectors and its application in the gene therapy field were summarized.

Objective:To observe the living cells on the surface of intraocular lenses and to compare the cellular numbers and morphology of prestaining to that of poststaining.Methods:Twenty adult pigment rabbit eyes were given posterior chamber intraocular lens implantation.Lenses were extracted and put into 1640 cell cultural liquid immediately on the 1 st,3 rd,7 th,14 th and 28 th day respectively after operatrion.The samples were observed under inverted phase contrast microscope subsequently.Results:We found cells deposited on the surface of lenses from 1 st to 28 th day after operation.These cells contracted and lost three-demensional appearance while its number was less than that of prestaining obviously.Conclusion:A part of cells remove from the surface of lenses during staining;however,we could count the number but could not affirm cellular types which would make error in cellular classification and counting.The fact suggests that we should discover new accurate and reliable methods to avoid mistakes during experiment.

Objective To observe the effect of propofol on phosphorylation of a-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxa-zolep-propionate receptors (AMPARs) GluR1 subunit and long-term potentiation (LTP) in cultured hippocampal neurons in aged rats.Methods A total of 30 18-month-old rats were decapitated,the brains were rapidly removed and hippocampal slice were prepared.The slices were randomly divided into control group (perfused with artificial cerebrospinal fluid,n=10),propofol-treated group (perfused with propofol in artificial cerebrospinal fluid,n=10)and propofol+ phorbol-12-myristate-13-acetate (PMA)-treated group (perfused with propofol and phorbol ester in artificial cerebrospinal fluid,n=10).Extracellular excitatory postsynaptic potentials (EPSP) were recorded from the CA1 region of hippocampal slices.After perfusion for 20 min,LTP was induced using higher-frequency stimulation (HFS,100Hz,400 pulse) by the Schaffer-collateral pathway.The phosphorylation of AMPA-GluR1 subunit was assayed in cultured rat neurons by Western blot.Results The value of EPSP in propofol-treated group (105.50 ± 3.77) was much lower than in control group (242.10±14.68) and in propofol+ PMA-treated group (239.40±8.98) (F=2.90,P＜0.05),and there was no significant difference in the value of EPSP between control group and propofol+ PMA-treated group (P＞0.05).The level of P-Glu1/Glu1in propofol-treated group (0.68±0.15) was much lower than in control group (1.67±0.20) and in propofol+PMA-treated group (1.57±0.18) (F=6.84,P＜0.05),while there was no difference in the level of P-Glu1/Glu1 between control group and propofol + PMA-treated group (P ＞ 0.05).There was no difference in the value of GluR1/β-actin among the three groups (F=0.31,P＞0.05).Conclusions Propofol possesses the ability to inhibit LTP induction and attenuate AMPA receptor GluR1 subunit phosphorylation through modulation of PKC pathway.

Objective To observe the anti-tumor effect of ethaselen on transplanted liver cancer(H22)and Lewis lung cancer mice.Methods The transplanted liver cancer(H22)and Lewis lung cancer mice models were established.Each genus consisted of 60 mice,which were divided into control,CTX,and three ethaselen dose groups,respectively,with 12 mice in each.Intraperitoneal injection(ip.)of three dosages was performed once a day through the abdominal wall separately,from the second to the eighth day after cancer was transplanted.On the eleventh day,six mice in each group were killed to calculate the tumor inhibition ratio and observe the cell cycle by flow cytometry,and the others were observed for the life extension ratio.Results When ethaselen was given at the dosage of 25,12.5 and 6.3 mg/kg,the tumor inhibition ratio was 52.5%,43.6% and 30.2%,and the life extension ratio was 56.6%,38.7% and 14.2% in the transplanted liver cancer(H22)mice,respectively.The tumor inhibition ratio was 43.8%,29.6% and 18.9%,and the life extension ratio was 47.3%,17.9% and 6.3% in the transplanted Lewis lung cancer mice,respectively.Compared with that of the control,the apoptosis ratio was obviously increased in each group,and there was obviously induced S phase arrest in 25.0 mg/kg(P

Synthetic pesticides-pyrethroids have been widely used in agriculture and in households. Most of them are the environmental hormone substances. Pyrethroids have toxic effects on animals and humans,inducing teratogenicity,carcinogenicity and mutagenicity. In the present paper,the typical animals-fish,mice and rats were choosen for the health risk assessment,and the research progresses on adverse effects of pyrethroids in nervous toxicology,physiological and biochemical toxicology,reproductive toxicology were summerized,as well as the effects of the animal enzymes and immune system.

[Objective]To study the effect of T cell groups of CD4+,CD8+,CD4+/CD8+,IL-4,IFN-? in the hypoimmunitymice induced by hydrocortisone to discuss its function of regulating the immune function and CD4+TH cell’s inferior change of group,have offered the experiment basis for clinical practice of TAF.[Method] FACS measured the T lymphocyte phenotype;the level of cytokine IFN-r and IL-4 was detected by ELISA.[Result] TAF can raise CD4+T lymphocyte of hypoimmunitymice,suppress CD8+ T lymphocyte expression,raise CD4+/CD8+ ratio;And can make the level of serum IFN-r obviously enhanced in hypoimmunitymice,and the level of IL-4 was very low.[Conclusion] TAF can rebuild immune function of hypoimmunitymice,promote organism Th0 to split up to Th1,maintain the advantage state of TH1,and strengthen the function of cellular mediated immunoresponse.

The review is focused on the development and recent research of the first tissue-specific angiogenic molecule,endocrine gland-derived vascular endothelial growth factor(EG-VEGF).It has been found that EG-VEGF only targeted on steroidgenic endocrine organs or cells through G-protein coupled receptor,the phosphorylation of G-protein coupled receptor could activate mitogen-activated protein kinase p44/42 and phosphatidylinositol-3 kinase(PI3K) pathways signal transdution.There are many reports that believes MAPK and PI3K is involved in the regulation of proliferation,migration,survival of endothelial cells and tumor angiogenesis,so EG-VEGF may serve as a potential target for antiangiogenic therapy of cancer in the future.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of fludarabine plus mitoxantrone combination chemotherapy for malignant lymphoma compared with CHOP regimen.Methods Sixty-six patients with malignant lymphoma were divided into fludarabine group and CHOP group.The efficacy and toxicities of these two regimens were analyzed and compared between the two groups.Results The overall response(OR)was 81.5% in fludarabine group,while was 48.7% in CHOP;for the patients in late-stage,with B cell lymphoma,with T cell lymphoma and with high serum LDH level,the OR in fludarabine group was higher than in CHOP group obstructively,being 62.5% and 35.7%.Conclusion Fludarabine combination chemotherapy,as a first line regimen in treating first-treated lymphoma,recrudescent lymphoma,intractable lymphoma and lymphoma in late stage,possesses higher efficacy,safety and tolerance than CHOP regimen.
