Specific anti-tumor effect induced by attenuated Salmonella typhimurium vaccine expressing extracellular region of vascular endothelial growth factor receptor 2

The purposes of this research were to study the stable expression of exogenous gene encoding therapeutic protein in attenuated Salmonella typhimurium, observe the metabolism of oral gene vaccine carried by attenuated Salmonella typhimurium in BALB/c mouse, and investigate the feasibility of prevention and treatment of tumors by the recombinant bacteria. Recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1 VEGFR2(n1-7) was transformed into competent attenuated Salmonella typhimurium SL3261 to develop oral DNA vaccine SL3261-pcDNA3.1 VEGFR2(n1-7). To observe whether the exogenous gene can be expressed in the recombinant bacteria, PCR was performed to amplify the CMV promoter of the eukaryotic expression vector as the proof of stable expression of exogenous protein; transmission elec- tron microscopy (TEM) was applied to observe the morphology of the recombinant bacteria to confirm that the exogenous gene has no impact on the growth of the bacteria, and then BALB/c mice were immunized with the gene vaccine. After inoculation of the gene vaccine, the recombinant bacteria SL3261 could be detected in the tissues such as small intestine, colon, liver and spleen. And then, mice in each group were challenged with tumor cells. The results of animal experiment showed that tumor growth of the mice in experimental group was inhibited and survival time of immunized mice was prolonged compared with control groups. A higher lymphocyte infiltration in tumors from animals treated with DNA vaccine was observed. Immunohistochemical analysis of tumor samples revealed an en- hanced accumulation of CD8 cytotoxic T lymphocytes, as well as an increase in CD4 cells in the tumors of animals treated with the oral gene vaccine compared to tumors from control group mice. Ultrastructure of the tumor tissue showed that tumor cells in the samples of the immunized mice were well-differentiated. Our research confirmed that the exogenous gene can be stably expressed in the attenuated Salmonella typhimurium and has no impact on the growth of the recombinant bacteria; the exogenous gene can de delivered to the host by attenuated Salmonella typhimurium to produce anti-tumor effect with no obvious cytotoxity to the host. In this study, it is established that attenuated Salmonella typhimurium could be used as a vector for oral gene vaccine, and our study provided a theoretical basis for the body distribution and the metabolism of the recombinant bacteria. This strategy may provide a simple, safe and effective way for the prevention and treatment of tumors.     

骨髓干细胞的可塑性及其在栓塞性疾病中的应用

栓塞性血管阻塞在急性心肌梗死、脑梗塞、血栓闭塞性脉管炎、糖尿病足等发病过程中起着重要作用。目前临床上针对这些疾病的治疗手段主要有：药物溶栓、血管旁路移植和介入手术等,多年来其治疗方法无实质性进展。上个世纪九十年代人们发现了干细胞新的生物学特性—可塑性,对干细胞可塑性的研究以及相关技术的发展为心脏病、老年痴呆、帕金森等的治疗带来了希望,也为栓塞性疾病的治疗开辟了新途径,有望成为治疗手段之一。     

电刺激小脑顶核促脑缺血后血管内皮生长因子表达的意义

探讨电刺激小脑顶核(FNS)对局部脑缺血后血管内皮生长因子(VEGF)表达和毛细血管新生的影响．以线栓法制成大鼠右侧大脑中动脉梗塞模型(MCAO)，大鼠随机分为假手术对照组、MCAO组、电刺激小脑顶(MCAO FNS)干预组，以免疫组织化学法检测VEGF、内皮细胞阳性表达及毛细血管记数，大脑中动脉梗塞后，缺血区神经元变性、坏死，VEGF、内皮细胞在半暗带有少量表达，毛细血管数较对照组增加，经电刺激小脑顶核干预后，VEGF、内皮细胞大量表达，毛细血管数目明显增加，有统计学差异．电刺激小脑顶核可通过促VEGF表达、内皮细胞增殖，从而促进毛细血管新生。     

甜菜块根三生构造的形成及发育过程初探

通过“新甜二号”块根三生构造的形成及发育过程观察看出:甜菜块根三生构造的形成始于一对真叶期,从二对真叶到块根糖分增长期前期是块根三生维管束环的主要形成时期。块根内对三生维管束环上的三生维管束束数随块根三生维管束环数的增加而增加,二者之间里显著的直线相关。而且块根内的三生维管束环数及环上的束数都具有极限性。块根最外2—3环上的三生维管束束数虽多,但成熟的较少。块根内各环间距随三生维管束环数的增加而呈动态变化,环间距增长最快在叶丛繁茂中期到块根糖分增长期中后期。生育后期,根内以第三环间距最大,而且根内各环间距的大小与环数之间呈Y=ae~(bx)·x的函数关系。

Triphasic vascular effects of thiol compounds and their oxidized forms on dog coronary arteries

The vascular effects of 2-mercaptoethanol, cysteamine, L-cysteine, glutathione (GSH), cystamine and oxidized GSH (GSSG) on the isometric tension of isolated dog coronary arterial strips were examined, and these effects were compared with the triphasic response induced by dithiothreitol (DTT); a rapid and weak contraction (phase A), an intervening slow relaxation (phase B) and a slowly-developing strong contraction (phase C) which we previously reported. The responses of the arteries induced by 2-mercaptoethanol, cysteamine and L-cysteine consisted of phases A, B and C. The order of contractile potency (ED₅₀ of phase C) was DTTL-cysteine>2-mercaptoethanolcysteamine, while the order of relaxant potency (ED₅₀ of phase B) was DTT>cysteamine2-mercaptoethanol. GSSG and cystamine mainly produced relaxation, which corresponded to phase B. The phase C contraction was specific to the reduced forms of thiols, except for GSH, which produced only relaxation. The participation of endothelial cells was not essential for the contracting or relaxing effects of the thiol compounds. The phase C contraction was depressed by W-7, a calmodulin antagonist, while phase A was not. Therefore calmodulin-dependent protein kinases may participate in phase C, not in phase A.

三峡库区克山病产生的地理环境分析

为了探明三峡库区克山病的发病机理,作者选定库区几个重病区进行了病情与生态环境的分析,首先通过对库区病区的自然地理环境特点和化学地理特点的剖析,初步证实了克山病高发病区多为贫硒环境。然后根据统计资料对土壤中硒等生命元素与病情进行多元逐步回归分析,得出一系列的元素组合判别式,其中,硒始终是病因产生的主导因素,这更进一步的映证了以前的研究结论:即环境中硒缺乏是导致克山病早期病变的基本因素。最后提出了克山病防治措施。
