J4. 2010, 36 (1):  1-4. 
Abstract ( 1103 )   PDF (920KB) ( 496 )  

Abstract:Objective
 To investigate the effect of chloride transport in nonspecific phagocytic process of human retinal pigment epithelial(RPE) cells which was treated with DNDS and bumetanide,and to discuss the mechanism for chloride transport’s effort in nonspecific phagocytic process.Methods  Human RPE cells(ARPE-19) were cultivated using millicell cell culture inserts system,and flow cytometry was performed on ARPE-19 cells that had been challenged with fluorescent latex beads.The bumetanide of 1,5,10,50,100,500,1 000 μmol·L-1 and DNDS of 0.01,0.10,0.50,1.00,3.00,5.00,10.00 mmol·L-1  were used in the experiment as chloride transport pathway blockers for 6 h,then flow cytometry was used to detect the phagocytic index.Results Compared with control group,different concentrations bumetanide didn’t affect the nonspecific phagocytic process of RPE cells(P>0.05);when the basal membrane of RPE was treated with  0.01 and 0.10 mmol·L-1 DNDS,there were no significant differences of phagocytic index compared with control group (P>0.05);however when treated with 0.50, 1.00,3.00,5.00 and 10 mmol·L-1 DNDS,the phagocytic indexes were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01),and as the concentration increased,the phagocytic indexes were decreased gradually;when the apical membrane of RPE was treated with above concentrations of DNDS,there were no significant differences of phagocytic index compared with control group(P>0.05).Conclusion Apical membrane bumetanide-sensitive Na+-K+-2Clcotransporter doesn’t participate in the nonspecific phagocytic process of RPE cells,basal membrane DNDS-sensitive Cl-/HCO3 exchange and chloride channel play important roles in the nonspecific phagocytic process of RPE cells.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the inhibitory effects and possible anticarcinogenic mechanism of celecoxib on the proliferation of Lewis lung carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo.Methods The proliferation of Lewis lung carcinoma cells treated with different doses (50,100 and 200  μmol?L-1) of celecoxib for 12,24,48 and 72 h,was measured by MTT assay.The contents  of arachidonic acid and prostaglandin E2 in the culture supernatants at 24 h were measured by the methods of RP-HPLC and PGE2-specific ELISA respectively.Twenty C57BL/6 mice receiving tumor implantation were divided randomly into control group and treatment(200 mg•kg-1) groups. All the groups were gavaged continuously with normal saline or celecoxib on the third day after implantation.The mice were killed on the 15th day,and the volume and weight of the tumor tissues were calculated.Results Compared with control group,50,100 and 200 μmol•L-1 celecoxib inhibited the proliferation of Lewis cells (P<0.05),the inhibitory rate was  increased with the dose and time of treatment.The IC50 value of 72 h was (134.06±2.97)  μmol•L-1.Compared with control group,celecoxib had no effect on the arachidonic acid content,but depressed the prostaglandin E2 level in the culture supernatants in 50  μmol•L-1 treatment group (P<0.05). In 100 and 200  μmol•L-1  treatment groups,celecoxib  significantly increased the content of arachidonic acid and depressed the prostaglandin E2 level in the culture supernatants with the  increasing of the  dose  of celecoxib (P<0.01). The solid tumor volume and weight in treatment group were lower than those in control group (P<0.05), and the tumor inhiitory rate in treatment group was 50%.Conclusion Celecoxib can inhibit the growth of Lewis lung carcinoma cells in vitro and in vivo.The anticarcinogenic effect of celecoxib depends on not only increasing the prodcution of arachidonic acid,but also inhibiting the synthesis of prostaglandin E2 in Lewis lung carcinoma treated with celecoxib.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the effects of Shugan Jieyu Panacea (SJP) on behavior and the levels of ACTH in plasma and T3,T4,TSH,rT3 in serum in depression model rats and explore the mechanism.Methods The model rats were lonely fed and received chronic moderate intensive unpredictable stimulation.Normal  control group,depressed model group,high dosage SJP group,middle dosage SJP group,low dosage SJP group and fluoxetine group were set up.Defferent drugs were used in various groups for 21 d,then the body mass,sugar consumption and the behavior changes of the rats were determined and the levels of ACTH in plasma and T3,T4,TSH,rT3 in serum were detected with radioimmunoassay. Results Compared with normal group,the body mass was  decreased(P<0.01),the scores of movement and sugar consumption were decreased(P<0.01)in model group. Compared with model group ,the body mass was increased(P<0.01),the scores of movement and sugar consumption were increased(P<0.01),the levels of ACTH,T4,rT3 markedly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01) and the level of T3 was increased(P<0.05) in high,middle,low dosage SJP groups after treatment. At the same time,there was  no obvious difference between  SJP groups and  fluoxetine groups.Conclusion SJP can significantly improve the depression in rats,its mechanism may be connected with adjusting the function of HPAA and HPTA.

Abstract ( 1193 )  

Abstract:Objective To investigate the curvature radius of distal femur and hypocondyle by imageological methods and compare the differences between them and gender differences between male and female,and provide morphological basis for design of knee joint prosthesis.Methods  69 cases of normal knee undergoing magnetic resonance imaging in knee extensor 180 ° position were selected in sagittal images,the anterioposterior dimension (AP),rd and rh were measured and the medial curvature index(MCI),lateral curvature index(LCI),distal condyle curvature index (DCI) and hypocondyle curvature index(HCI) were used as the curvature standards of distal femur and the femoral posterior condylar.Results The rd of male medial condyle was (32.58±4.84)mm,rh was (19.04±3.33)mm;rd of male lateral condyle was (32.82±3.95)mm,rh was (19.38±2.80). The rd of female medial condyle was (29.40±4.15)mm,rh was (15.99±2.38)mm;the rd of female lateral condyle was (29.30±3.16)mm,rh was (16.41±2.01)mm. The data showed statistical difference in MCI and LCI between male and female (P<0.05).There was statistical difference between female DCI and HCI (P<0.05).The result of  two-variable linear regression analysis showed the linear regression between AP,rh and rd (P<0.001).Conclusion There are statistical differences in distal femur and hypocondyle curvature between male and female.The curvature of female is larger,especially the medial hypocondyle.It is suggested that the asymmetry curvature design should be taken for the prosthesis’s hypocondyle part,that is,the curvature of medial distal condyle should be increased to form a continuous radius design with the medial hypocondyle which has larger curvature.

Abstract ( 1328 )  

Abstract:Objective To investigate the dissociative effect of amikacin sulfate on platelet aggregation in patients with EDTA-dependent pseudothrombocytopenia (EDTA-PTCP),and develop an effective method for accurate platelet counting in this kind of samples. Methods Amikacin sulfate was added or not to the EDTA-K2 anticoagulated tube before collecting venous blood in an infrequent patient with EDTA-PTCP,and the platelet counts and other blood cell parameters at different time after blood withdrawal were examined by automatic cytoanalyzer. Amikacin was added at different time after collecting EDTA-K2 anticoagulated blood samples,and dissociative effect of amikacin on the platelet aggregation and the platelet morphological changes on the blood smear were observed.Results The platelet counts of EDTA-PTCP blood sample without amikacin were gradually reduced from 117×109 L-1 to 41×109 L-1 with extending time (0.5-4.0 h) after blood withdrawal.In the blood sample pre-supplemented with amikacin,the platelet counts were within range of the normal reference values,and the platelet counts were relatively stable within 4 h at room temperature after blood drawn.When amikacin was added within 30 min after blood sampling,the platelet counts (186×109 L-1 -191×109 L-1 )were within the  range of the normal reference values,the obvious platelet dissociation on the blood smear were found.When amikacin was added over 30 min after blood drawn,the platelet counts were gradually reduced from 168×109 L-1  at 40 min after standing  to 42×109 L-1 at 4 h after standing,and smear examination revealed significantly the platelet aggregation.Conclusion Amikacin sulfate is added either before blood withdrawal or within 30 min after blood sampling,the platelet counts of the patient with EDTA-PTCP examined by automatic cytoanalyzer are accurate and the determination of other blood cell parameters is not influenced.
