Preliminary exploration on operation process for autologous ozonized blood transfusion / 中国输血杂志

Autologous ozonized blood transfusion(AOBT) is a therapy of re-transfusion of 100-200 mL of autologous blood after shaking and agitation with appropriate amount of oxygen-ozone in vitro. The oxidation of blood through the strong oxidation of ozone can enhance the non-specific immune response of the body, regulate the internal environment and promote health. This therapy has been increasingly applied in clinical practice, while no unified standard for the operation process in terms of ozone concentration, treatment frequency and treatment course had been established. This operation process of AOBT is primarily explored in order to standardize the operation process and ensure its safety and efficacy.

Carbazole and tetrahydro-carboline derivatives as dopamine D3 receptor antagonists with the multiple antipsychotic-like properties

Dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is implicated in multiple psychotic symptoms. Increasing the D3R selectivity over dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) would facilitate the antipsychotic treatments. Herein, novel carbazole and tetrahydro-carboline derivatives were reported as D3R selective ligands. Through a structure-based virtual screen, ZLG-25 (D3R Ki = 685 nmol/L; D2R Ki > 10,000 nmol/L) was identified as a novel D3R selective bitopic ligand with a carbazole scaffold. Scaffolds hopping led to the discovery of novel D3R-selective analogs with tetrahydro-β-carboline or tetrahydro-γ-carboline core. Further functional studies showed that most derivatives acted as hD3R-selective antagonists. Several lead compounds could dose-dependently inhibit the MK-801-induced hyperactivity. Additional investigation revealed that 23j and 36b could decrease the apomorphine-induced climbing without cataleptic reaction. Furthermore, 36b demonstrated unusual antidepressant-like activity in the forced swimming tests and the tail suspension tests, and alleviated the MK-801-induced disruption of novel object recognition in mice. Additionally, preliminary studies confirmed the favorable PK/PD profiles, no weight gain and limited serum prolactin levels in mice. These results revealed that 36b provided potential opportunities to new antipsychotic drugs with the multiple antipsychotic-like properties.

Relationship between peripheral blood Th17 cells and Th17-related cytokines and postoperative cognitive dysfunction in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia / 中华麻醉学杂志

Objective To evaluate the relationship between perioperative peripheral blood Type 17 helper (Th17) cells and Th17-related cytokines and postoperative cognitive dysfunction (POCD) in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia.Methods Ninety-six patients of both sexes,aged 65-86 yr,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or m,scheduled for elective hip replacement under general anesthesia,were selected.At 3 days before operation and 1,2,3 and 7 days after operation,Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) was used to evaluate the cognitive function,and fasting venous blood samples were taken for determination of the percentage of Th17 cells and serum interleukin-17 (IL-17) and IL-22 concentrations.The patients were divided into POCD group and non-POCD group according to whether the patients developed POCD at day 7 after operation or not.Pearson linear correlation of the percentage of Th17 cells and serum IL-17 and IL-22 concentrations with MoCA scores was analyzed.Results Twenty-six patients developed POCD (27.1％).The percentage of peripheral blood Th17 cells and serum IL-17 and IL-22 concentrations were significantly higher at each time point after operation than before operation in POCD group and at 1 and 2 days after operation than before operation in non-POCD group (P＜0.05).The percentage of peripheral blood Th17 cells and serum IL-17 and IL-22 concentrations were significantly higher at each time point after operation in POCD group than in non-POCD group (P＜0.05).The percentage of peripheral blood Thl7 cells was negatively correlated with MoCA scores (r =-0.867,P＜0.01) and serum IL-17 and IL-22 concentrations were negatively correlated with MoCA scores (r=-0.662 and-0.638,P＜0.01) in group POCD.Conclusion The development of POCD is related to the increase in the percentage of peripheral blood Th17 cells and concentrations of Th17-related cytokines IL-17 and IL-22 in elderly patients undergoing general anesthesia.

Investigating evolutionary perspective of carcinogenesis with single-cell transcriptome analysis / 癌症

We developed phase-switch microfluidic devices for molecular profiling of a large number of single cells. Whole genome microarrays and RNA-sequencing are commonly used to determine the expression levels of genes in cell lysates (a physical mix of millions of cells) for inferring gene functions. However, cellular heterogeneity becomes an inherent noise in the measurement of gene expression. The unique molecular characteristics of individual cells, as well as the temporal and quantitative information of gene expression in cells, are lost when averaged among all cells in cell lysates. Our single-cell technology overcomes this limitation and enables us to obtain a large number of single-cell transcriptomes from a population of cells. A collection of single-cell molecular profiles allows us to study carcinogenesis from an evolutionary perspective by treating cancer as a diverse population of cells with abnormal molecular characteristics. Because a cancer cell population contains cells at various stages of development toward drug resistance, clustering similar single-cell molecular profiles could reveal how drug-resistant sub-clones evolve during cancer treatment. Here, we discuss how single-cell transcriptome analysis technology could enable the study of carcinogenesis from an evolutionary perspective and the development of drug-resistance in leukemia. The single-cell transcriptome analysis reported here could have a direct and significant impact on current cancer treatments and future personalized cancer therapies.

Reversal Effect of A Novel N-sugar Substituted Thalidomide Analogue on Multidrug Resistant Human Nasopharyngeal Carcinoma Cells / 生物化学与生物物理进展

One major problem to successful treatment of cancer is the development of resistance by tumor cells to multiple chemotherapeutic drugs, a phenomenon named multidrug resistance (MDR). Searching for the novel chemotherapeutical agents is one of the important strategies for overcoming MDR. By using a cytotoxicity assay, flow cytometry analysis, Western-blotting and RT-PCR, a drug (Taxol, TAX) resistant human nasopharyngeal carcinoma KB cell line (KB/TAX) was established by addition of the drug to the cell cultures gradually, then a novel N-sugar substituted thalidomide analogue (STA-35) was investigated for its reversal effect on MDR of KB/TAX cells and possible mechanism. The results showed that KB/TAX cells were resistant to several chemotherapeutical agents, and the relative resistance to TAX was 73.1. Compared with parental KB cells, the function and protein expression of P-glycoprotein (P-gp), as well as mdr1 gene in the KB/TAX cells were remarkable reduced. Moreover, both KB and KB/TAX cells were sensitive to STA-35, the relative resistance to TAX on KB/TAX cells was decreased by the addition of STA-35. Furthermore, STA-35 (5 ～20 ?mol/L)was capable to reduced the activity of P-gp by increasing the accumulation of rhodamine 123, decreasing P-gp expression in KB/TAX cells in a dose dependent manner , but had no effect on the mdr1 gene expression. These results suggest a potential action of STA-35 as MDR reversing agent, and one of the possible mechanisms could be the suppression of P-gp function and protein expression.
