    Notes: Abstract The therapeutic effect of the fibroblast-mediated human interferon (IFNα) gene therapy in combination with interleukin-2 (IL-2) activated killer cells (AK)/doxorubicin (i.e., adoptive chemoimmunotherapy) on nude mice bearing the human hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) was investigated. A fibroblast cell clone (NIH3T3-IFNα+) secreting 1024 U/ml human IFNα was obtained from 14 positive clones by BMGNeo-INFα DNA transfection, G418-resistant selection, limiting dilution and assay of IFNα activity. After i.p. implantation of NIH3T3-IFNα+ encapsulated into collagen, serum human IFNα activity could be detected from 12 h to day 15 with a peak at 72 h. AK were prepared from human peripheral mononuclear cells costimulated in vitro by IL-2 and inactivated human SMMC 7721 HCC cells. When the NIH3T3-IFNα+ cells were i.p. implanted into the HCC-bearing nude mice, the grown of HCC was inhibited and the survival time of the mice was extended. The growth of HCC was inhibited more obviously when AK was i.v. injected and IL-2 was i.p. injected after the NIH3T3-IFNα+ cells had been implanted. The best therapeutic effect was achieved when NIH3T3-IFNα+ cells were used in combination with IL-2/AK/doxorubicin. All these results suggested that the fibroblast-mediated human IFNα gene therapy could be used to treat the human hepatocellular carcinoma effectively and that when used in combination with IL-2-based adoptive chemoimmunotherapy, the therapeutic effect would be better.

    Notes: Three kinds of high-performance polyimides 1 (poly(ketone-imide) PKI), 2 (poly(ether-imide) PEI) and 3 (poly(oxy-imide) POI) were studied using nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR). The NMR spectra of the polyimides were assigned according to the comprehensive consideration of the substitution effect of different substituting groups, viz. distortionless enhancement by polarization transfer (DEPT), no nuclear Overhauser effect (NNE), analysis of relaxation time, and two-dimensional correlated spectroscopy (COSY) techniques. The structural units of these three polyimides were determined. Carbon-13 and proton relaxation times for PEI and PKI were interpreted in terms of segmental motion characterized by the sharp cutoff model of Jones and Stockmayer (JS model) and anisotropic group rotation such as phenyl group rotation and methyl group rotation. Correlation times for the main-chain motion are in the tens of picosecond range which indicates the high flexibility of polyimide chains. Correlation times for phenyl group and methyl group rotations are more than 1 order of magnitude lower and approximately 1 order of magnitude higher than that of the main chain, respectively.

    Notes: 13C and 1H relaxation times were measured as a function of temperature in two magnetic fields for dilute solutions of phenolphthalein poly(ether sulfone) (PES-C) in deuterated chloroform. The spin-lattice relaxation times were interpreted in terms of segmental motion characterized by the sharp cutoff model of Jones and Stockmayer (J. S. model). The phenyl group rotation is treated as a stochastic diffusion by the J. S. model. The restricted butterfly motion of the phenyl group attached to the cardo ring in PES-C is mentioned but is not discussed in detail in this work. Correlation times for the segmental motion are in the picosecond range which indicates the high flexibility of PES-C chains. The correlation time for the phenyl group internal rotation is similar to that of the segmental motion. The temperature dependence of these motions is weak. The apparent activation energy of the motions considered is less than 10kJ/mol. The simulating results for PES are also reasonable considering the differences in structure compared with PES-C. The correlation times and the apparent activation energy obtained using the J. S. model for the main chain motion of PES-C are the same as those obtained using the damped orientational diffusion model and the conformational jump model.
