    Abstract ( 573 )   PDF (381KB) ( 2892 )  

    [Abstract]   Objective   To discuss the influence and significance of stromal cell-derived factor1(SDF -1) and its
    specific receptor CXC chemokine receptor4(CXCR4) in proliferation, migration and invasion ability of SW480colorectal cancer cells.  Methods   The colorectal cancer cell line SW480in logarithmic phase was divided into four groups: control group (with no any processing), SDF-1group (added100μg/L SDF-1), SDF-1+1mg/L AMD3100mixed group (added1mg/L AMD3100for 2hours, then added100μg/L SDF-1) and AMD3100group (added1mg/L AMD3100). Immunohisto?chemistry method was used to detect the protein expression of CXCR4in SW480cells. The expression of CXCR4mRNA in SW480cells was detected by RT-PCR before and after SDF-1and AMD3100treatment. MTT assay and transwell chamber were used to test the changes of proliferation, migration and invasion ability of SW480cells before and after SDF-1and AMD3100treatment.   Results   The result of immunohistochemistry showed that CXCR4protein was expressed in SW480 cells (positive rate=80%). CXCR4mRNA was expressed in SW480cells. The expression of CXCR4mRNA was up-regulat?ed by SDF-1(100μg/L), which could be inhibited by AMD3100(1mg/L). The proliferation activity was higher in SDF-1group (0.847±0.039) compared to that in control group (0.624±0.011) and SDF-1+AMD3100mixed group(0.607±0.016).The proliferation activity was lower in AMD3100group (0.456±0.031) than that in control group and SDF-1+AMD3100 mixed group (F=108.03, P<0.05). The number of transmembrane cells was more in SDF-1group (98.7±5.8, 33.7±6.2) than that in control group (21.0±2.2, 6.1±2.3), SDF-1+1mg/L AMD3100mixed group (18.5±8.4, 8.5±2.8) and AMD3100group (12.1±3.2, 2.1±1.0) detected by transwell chamber experiment. However, there were no statistical differences between three groups.   Conclusion   The biological axis SDF-1/CXCR4 can promote the proliferation, migration and invasion in colorectal cancer cell line SW480.

    [Abstract]   Objective   To study the antitumor effects of dendritic cell vaccine induced by astragalus polysaccha?
    rides on S180 tumor-bearing mice, and its possible mechanism.   Methods   Dendritic cells derived from mouse bone marrow were induced maturation by astragalus polysaccharides and loaded with S180 tumor antigen to prepare tumor vaccine. Tumor-bearing mice were divided into four groups and treated on day-5 and day-10 respectively. Group A was injected with NS, Group B with CTX (50 mg/kg), Group C with dendritic cells induced by astragalus polysaccharides and Group D with dendritic cells induced by tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α. After 12 days of tumor-bearing, the animals were killed. The subcutaneous sarcoma, thymus and spleen were separated and weighted. The inhibitory rate, thymus index and spleen index were then calculated. ELISA assay was used to detect the levels of interleukin (IL)-4, interferon (IFN)-γ in serum of tumor bearing mice.   Results   The tumor inhibition rate was higher in astragalus polysaccharide group and cytokine group than that of CTX group (64.25%, 64.10% vs 35.11%). The thymus index was higher in astragalus polysaccharide group and cytokine group than that of CTX group (1.69 ± 0.26, 1.74 ± 0.38 vs 1.45 ± 0.22). The spleen index was higher in astragalus poly?saccharide group and cytokine group than that of CTX group (5.44 ± 0.76, 5.31 ± 0.81 vs 3.54 ± 0.52). The level of IL-4 was lower in astragalus polysaccharide group and cytokine group than that of CTX group (15.66±2.57, 14.72 ± 4.84 vs 23.95 ± 6.07). The level of IFN- γ was higher in astragalus polysaccharide group and cytokine group than that of CTX group (16.54 ±
    3.71, 17.20 ± 2.03 vs 10.37 ± 2.19). All the differences were statistically significant (P<0.05).  Conclusion  Dendritic cell vaccine induced by astragalus polysaccharides can effectively inhibit tumor growth. Its mechanism may be associated with the promotion spleen index and thymus index of S180 tumor-bearing mice, the effective correction of Th1/Th2 imbalance induced by tumor, and the enhancement of antitumor immune responses.

    Abstract ( 665 )   PDF (415KB) ( 2960 )  

    [Abstract]   Objective   To compare three different curative effects on hydrosalpinx before in vitro fertilization and
    embryo transfer (IVF-ET).   Methods   Patients receiving IVF-ET between January 2011 to December 2013 (n=731) due to tubal factor infertility (hydrosalpinx) were retrospectively analyzed. All patients were divided into four groups. Embolization group underwent fallopian tube embolization (n=257). Colostomy group underwent laparoscopic tubal umbrella end colosto?my (n=193). Excision group underwent laparoscopic tubal excision(n=198). Control group did not undergo any effusion before transplantation (n=83).   Results   Comparing main indicators of ovarian hyperstimulation (the number of antral follicles, the dosage of gonadotropin (Gn), the number of retrieved oocytes), indicators were better in embolism group, colostomy group and control group than those in excision group. Comparing main indexes of IVF-ET (embryo implantation rate, clinical pregnancy rate, abortion rate), indicators were better in embolism group, excision group than those in colostomy group while indi?cators in colostomy group were better than those in control group. The pregnancy rate in fallopian tube was the lowest in em?bolism group and excision group, and the highest in control group.   Conclusion   All three methods of processing hydrosal?pinx before transplantation ended with positive impact on IVF-ET, and fallopian tube embolization has certain advantages over the other two treatment measures.

    LI Yong Hui,ZHANG Huan
    2014, 42 (11):  1132-1134 . 
    Abstract ( 500 )   PDF (295KB) ( 2814 )  

    [Abstract]   Objective   To observe the effects of adenosine and adenosine receptor agonist on the expression of inter?leukin-18 (IL-18) in patients with unstable angina (UAP), and the mechanism of adenosine receptor agonists thereof.   Methods   Fifteen UAP and 15 healthy volunteers were included in this study. The effects of adenosine and the selective adenosine receptor agonists on the expression of IL-18 were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).   Results   The lower concentration of adenosine (1-100 μmol/L) increased the expression of IL-18 in UAP group; whereas the higher concentration of adenosine (1 mmol/L) inhibited the expression of IL-18. The adenosine A1 receptor agonist and A3 receptor agonist increased the expression of IL-18, while the adenosine A2a receptor agonist inhibited the expression of IL-18. There was no significant effect for A2b receptor agonist on the expression of IL-18.   Conclusion   The lower concentrations of ade?nosine can enhance the expression of IL-18 through adenosine A1 and A3 receptors in UAP. The higher concentrations of ade?nosine can inhibit the expression of IL- 18 through adenosine A2a receptors. Adenosine can promote IL- 18 expression in lower concentrations.

    Abstract ( 444 )   PDF (275KB) ( 2874 )  

    [Abstract] Tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α is a pleiotropic inflammatory cytokine, which is produced chiefly by acti?
    vated macrophages. Two forms of TNF-α, soluble and transmembrane, can bind tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNFR) 1 orTNFR2, respectively. Recently, a concept has emerged that TNF-α/TNFR pathway plays an important role in the pathogenesis of multiple sclerosis and remyelination. TNFR1 induces death of oligodendrocytes via death receptor-mediated apoptosis, which leads to demyelination or other neurodegenerative changes. However, TNFR2 has a positive effect on multiple sclerosis. It facilitates the proliferation and differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cells, thus promoting remyelination.

    Abstract ( 498 )   PDF (344KB) ( 3310 )  

    [Abstract] Cardiovascular disease (CVD) is one of the major complications of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), which results in a high risk of mortality. Thus, the cardiovascular safety of new anti-diabetic agents has become an important problem with wide concern. There are two classes of incretine-based medications: glucagon-like peptide- 1 receptor agonist (GLP-1RA) and dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitor (DPP-4I). It has been demonstrated that GLP-1RA and DPP-4I possesse beneficial actions in both animal models of cardiovascular dysfunction and patients with ischemic heart diseases. However, their effects on the cardiovascular system in diabetic patients with heart diseases are still uncertain. Here, we sys-tematically reviewed the effects of GLP-1RA and DPP-4I on cardiovascular system to provide more evidence of incretinbased therapy application for diabetes and complications.
