ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Recent study showed that osteocalcin may elevate Insulin secretion and sensitivity, prevent the fat accumulation, play a role in the metablism of glucose and lipid. Undercarboxylated osteocalcin works as the main role. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of different concentrations of glucose on osteoblast undercarboxylated osteocalcin. METHODS: The rib trabeculae were resected and broken, trypsinizated and washed completely by PBS. Bone surface and non-adhesive floating cells in cleaning fluid were observed with inverted microscope. Rib trabeculae was washed by DMEM culture medium once, and cultured in culture bottle. The culture liquid was replaced by new one once a week. The osteoblast was moved from the scledte a week later. The cells were fused monolayer and could be subcultured 4 to 6 weeks later. The active second or third generation cells were inoculated to 6-pore plate forming 5 groups. Osteoblast were stimulated by 5.6 mmol/L., 7.6 mmol/L, 9.6 mmol/L, 12.6 mmol/L, 20.6 mmol/L glucose medium respectively after the 80% cells were fused, the vitamin K_2 was added into the culture liquid until the concentration of it to be 10~(-5) mol/L. Supernatant was collected after half hour culturing, the undercarboxylated osteocalcin level were detected with RIA test kit, and corrected it as the total the undercarboxylated osteccalcin, calculated the carboxylated incomplete osteocalcin rate. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The rate of ostecblast carboxylated incomplete osteocalcin was different under different concentration glucose. The rate of 7.6 mmol/L, 9.6 mmol/L, 20.6 mmol/L concentration glucose groups were higher than that of 5.6 mmol/L glucose group [(0.27±0.02)%, (0.29±0.04)%, (0.12±0.02)%, P < 0.05]. It is indicated that osteoblast could sense the change of glucose concentration by regulating the secretion of the undercarboxylated osteocalcin between the concentration of 5.6mmol/L to 9.6mmol/L, while the carboxylated incomplete osteocalcin decreased as the concentration of glucose increased.

ABSTRACT
Objective:To elucidate the phenotypic and functional characteristics of CD3+ CD4+ and CD3+ CD8+ T in pleural fluid of patients with tuberculous pleurisy.Methods:PBMCs and PFCs were isolated. The frequency of CD3+,CD3+ CD4+,CD3+ CD8+ T cells and the ratio of CD4/CD8 in PFCs were analyzed by FACS. The concentration of IFN-?,IL-2 and TNF-? in the pleural fluid were analyzed by ELISA.Production of IFN-?,IL-2 and TNF-? by CD3+ CD4+ and CD3+ CD8+ T cells was detected by FACS following stimulation with BCG.Results:Higher frequencies of CD3+ CD4+ T cells and CD4+ T/CD8+ T ratio were demonstrated in PFCs when compared with PBMCs from normal donors and TB patients.ELISA analysis demonstrated that significantly high levels of IFN-? and TNF-? were detected in pleural fluid.Further analysis by FACS indicated that IL-2,TNF-? and IFN-? were predominantly secreted by CD3+CD4+T cells but not by CD3+ CD8+ T cells.Conclusion:The frequencies of CD3+ and CD3+ CD4+ T cells are increased in PFCs. Large amounts of Th1 cytokines are detected,which are produced by CD3+ CD4+ T cells,and might play important roles against TB infection.
ABSTRACT
p16 gene was a tumor supressor gene found recently. The p16 protein is a negative regulator of cell proliferation . Loss of normal p16 function is associated with the development of neoplasms. To detect antitumorigenic effect of p16 on human lung adenocarcinoma cells, we cloned a p16 cDNA into the pcDNA3 vector at the sites of BamHl and Xho I to gain a p16 gene recombinant expression vector plasmid. We then transferred the p16 gene recombinant plasmid into human lung adenocarcinoma cell line (NCI-H460) by electroporation method. After G418 selection we assessed cell growth properties and cell cycle pattern by flow cytometry to G418-resistant clones of NCI-H460-pl6 and NCI-H460-vect respectively. The results show that human p16 gene could suppress the phenotype of NCI-H460 cell line and p16 gene therapy plays a positive role in human lung adenocarcinoma treatment.
