A long course of systemic treatment with CsA in therapeutic dose to prolong skin allografts may produce severe toxic effects,therefore it is not acceptable for severe burn patients.Prior studies by one of us have reported that topical treatment with CsA will prolong the life of allografts.During the period of treatment,however,blood CsA levels were detected in high concentrations,similar to systemic use.The question occurs whether the immunosuppressive effect of topically applied CsA was due to local or systemic action.Two experiments were carried out.First,two skin grafts of ACI (RT1) ratswere transplanted on both sides of the back of same LEW (RT1) rat (n=56).The bandage was kept on for the first 5 postoperative days.One graft was treated topically daily with CsA 7.5mg/day in olive oil until rejection.At the same time,the other side was treated with olive oil alone as control.,The mean survival time (MST) was 12.38?0.70 and 9.14?0.33 d.,respectively,p

As an important part of the health service security system,military medical equipment has important strategic position in wartime.Under the condition of high technology,the modern warfare has also laid higher requirement to the reliability guarantee of medical equipment.With the modernization development of military equipment,traditional medical equipment maintenance management mode does not meet the requirements of modern military medical equipment and its maintenance.Therefore,based on the reliability guarantee theory,the "Reliability Centered Maintenance(RCM)" management mode for military medical equipment is studied in order to achieve the purpose of improving the equipment reliability and the integrity of combat readiness.

Objective To analyze the chest CT appearance of relapsing polychondritis with severer tracheobronchial malacia and improve diagnosis veracity.Methods Five patients with relapsing polychondritis received CT examination and the CT appearances were studied.Results The characteristic appearances in CT were throat tracheal and branch stenosis.The tracheal cartilages thickened and membranous wall was normal.Conclusions Distinguishability of CT is high,which can display the area and characteristics of the pathological changes CT examination is an efficient method of diagnosis of relapsing polychondritis,and can direct selecting treating methods.[Chinese Medical Equipment Journal,2008,29(2):84-85]

Seventeen cases of postburn multiple organ failure (MOF) were studied prospectively.It was found that MOF mainly occurred in those patients with a burn area over 70% TBSA.Mortality rate of the cases of MOF was directly proportional to the number of organs involved.The incidence of pulmonary failure was the highest and the highest mortality was attributed to renal failure;MOF in the early stage after burns was mainly induced by burn shock and that in the late stage by burn wound infection.Endogenous infection seemed to be one of the important causes to precipitate the outbreak of postburn MOF.The morphological changes of the functionally failed organs were as follows:There were various degrees of cellular degeneration and necrosis.Or- ganelle changes such as swelling and vacuolization of mitochondria,enlargement of endoplasmic reticulum,gap formation of capillary endothelium etc were seen.Extravascular organ water volume of the functionally failed organs was increased.Stasis and/or hyperemia were found in the heart,the lungs,the liver and the GI,tract,but ischemia in the kidneys.The changes of the.enzyme spectrum of the myocardium,PaO2,RI,IB/DB,and DB were parallel to those of pathomorphology and extravascular organ water volume and they could reflect the severity of organ damages firly well.

OBJECTIVE: To establish a RP-HPLC method for the determination of the content of Emodin in Fugan oral liquid.METHODS: The sample was separated on Zorbax SB-C18 column(150 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) with methanol-0.1%phosphoric acid solution(85∶15) as the mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL?min-1.The detection wavelength was set at 430 nm and the column temperature was 30 ℃.RESULTS: The calibration curve was linear at a range of 0.075 2 mg～0.376 0 mg(r=0.999 96) for the Emodin.The average recovery was 99.77% and the related standard deviation(RSD) was 1.03%(n=6).CONCLUSION: This method was proved to be simple,quick and reproducible and can be used for the quality control of Fugan oral liquid.

Objective To study the ultrastructure of the anterior cruciate ligament.Methods Specimens were procured from seven patients with arthroscopy and observed under scanning and transmission electron microscope. Results Fibrils of normal anterior cruciate ligament arrayed in compact parallel form with waviness.Connecting fibers existed between fibrils.Diameters of fibrils were different with range of 30nm to 60nm mostly.Fibroblasts were distributed along with the fibrils.Active cells excrete filamentous collagen fibrils.Conclusion The ultrastructure of the anterior cruciate ligament was correlated with its function status.Mature fibroblasts existed in the ligament.

Objective To build the schema of combination between commercially available ultrasound contrast agent SonoVue and self-made liposomes,and determine its efficiency. Methods Microbubbles was labeled by carbocyanines dye DiI. The effect of DSPE-PEG-FITC labelling was determined by flow cytometer to evaluate the insertion efficiency of the amphipathic molecule DSPE-PEG(2000)Amine into lipid monomers shell. Aminated fluorescent liposomes were prepared by rotary evaporation and their size were determined by laser particle size analyzer. Liposomes and microbubbles were combined by two-step glutaraldehyde crosslinking. The impact of liposome concentration and DSPE-PEG (2000)Amine concentration on the construction efficiency of the complex of SonoVue conjugated to liposomes was determined by flow cytometer and multifunctional ELIASA respectively. Results The configuration of SonoVue microbubbles labeled by DiI and DSPE-PEG-FITC showed fine. The combination between liposomes and microbubbles was realized by glutaraldehyde crosslinking. The flow cytometer showed that 200 μl liposomes solution per 200 μl microbubbles suspension was the optimal proportion, with the peak positive rate as (87.80 ± 5.91)%. Multifunctional ELIASA showed that 150 μl DSPE-PEG (2000)Amine (100 μm) solution per 200 μl microbubbles suspension was the optimal proportion, with the peak carry efficiency as (83.41±2.21)%. Conclusions The amination of commercially available SonoVue is realized by the insertion of DSPE-PEG (2000) Amine molecule. Glutaraldehyde crosslinking the liposomes and microbubbles is feasible. Moreover, we can choose other active groups to modify the microbubbles and liposomes, construct more convenient methods with higher efficiency.

An efficient and repeatable approach in transforming the foxtail millet (Setaria italica ) using Agrobacterium LBA4404 horboring the plasmid pBI121 was established. Factors affecting transformation efficiency were investigated including the genotype, explants, the density of bacteria, the duration for inoculation and co-cultivation, and the concentration of acetosyringone in the medium. The maximum transformation conditions were: the callus induced from inflorescence was used as explant; the duration for inoculation with Agrobacterium at low cell density was 30-40 min; for the co-cultivation , the suitable concentration of acetosyringone in the medium was 0.1 mmol/L, and the duration was 2 days.
