Objective To study the relationship between serum soluble interleukin-2 receptor (SIL-2R) titer and severity of involved muscles and transient aggravation due to large dose corticosteroid therapy in patients with myasthenia gravis.Methods 30 severe patients with MG were classified according to improved Osserman method. The involved voluntary muscles were divided into seven groups. The severity of MG was recorded with five grades and four parts formulation. The absolute integral was taken as the index of MG degree. ELISA was used to measure the titer of serum SIL-2R.Results Remarkable difference was found between patient group and control group both in the SIL-2R titer and the severity of MG(all P0.05) when the cases aggravated transiently during large-dose corticosteroid therapy.Conclusion Cell immunity is abnormal in patients with MG. SIL-2R may reflect the severity of involved muscles.

In recent years,the mode of the support and service of medical engineering in hospitals is always a focus in the community of clinic engineering. Based on the characteristics of the medical engineering support and service in hospital,we propose a creative,digitalized medical engineering support system,and introduce the workflow of the support system as well as its fundamental parts and characteristics.

To investigate the effect of selective N-methy-D-aspartate receptor antagonist MK-801 on dentate granule cell neurogenesis after diffuse brain injury in the adult rat, so as to explore the role of glutamic acid on dentate granule cell neurogenesis after diffuse brain injury. 45 adult male SD rats were subjected to diffuse brain injury and randomized into MK-801-treatment group, vehicle-treatment group and control group (n=15 each). By using bromodeoxyuridine ( BrdU ) labelling method and immunohistochemistry to observe dividing cells, the proliferation rates of neural precursor cells in the dentate gyrus(DG) were compared between MK-801-treatment group and corresponding control groups on 2, 4, 6, 8, and 12 days after diffuse brain injury. The results showed that MK-801 (1mg/kg i.p.) significantly reduced the number of BrdU labeled cells in the dentate gyrus on 4, 6, 8 and 12 days after diffuse brain injury (P

砄bjective:To investigate the expression of integrin ? 1 during mandibular fracture healing.Methods:Rabbit mandibular fracture model was used,the fractured bone tissues were obtained and paraffin slices were made on the day 1,3,5,7,14,30,60 and 90 after surgery respectively.Non fractured mandible was used as the control.The expression of integrin ? 1 in bone tissue, especially in osteoblasts and osteoclasts, was studied with LsAB immunohistochemical method.Results:Integrin ? 1 was widely espressed in the bone tissure close to fracture and surrounding soft tissue.In osteoblasts increased expression of integrin ? 1 was observed on day 7,maximum on day 14～30 and normal on day 90.While in osteoclasts,it was increased and kept at maximum 14～90 days aftere fracture.Conclusion:During mandibular fracture healing,the expression of integrin ? 1 in bone,especially in osteoblasts and osteoclasts,was increased.Integrin ? 1 has a critical influence on bone fracture healing.

OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Fuzheng Yiliu Granule (FZYLG)-medicated serum on apoptosis of liver cancer cells H22 from mice and its mechanism. METHODS: Liver cancer cells H22 from mice were incubated in culture media containing sera from rabbits medicated with different doses of FZYLG. Flow cytometry was used to examine the cell cycle and analyze the apoptotic rate of the H22 cells. The morphological changes of the H22 cells were observed by transmission electron microscope and the apoptosis related proteins Bcl-2 and Bax were examined by streptavidin-biotin peroxidase complex (SABC) method. RESULTS: FZYLG-medicated serum could influence the cell cycle and stop the proliferation of H22 cells at the G(1)/G(0) phase with apoptotic peak being detected. In culture media with FZYLG-medicated sera, the expression of Bcl-2 decreased while that of Bax increased as compared with that in culture medium with non-medicated serum (P<0.05). CONCLUSION: FZYLG-medicated serum can induce apoptosis of the liver cancer cells H22 by influencing the cell cycle, down-regulating the expression of Bcl-2 and up-regulating the expression of Bax.

Objective To investigate the influence of aging on motor function,binding activity and protein expression level of striatum dopamine transporter(DAT)of rats. Methods Rolling-bar test was performed to assess motor function.Western blot and 131I-FP-β-CIT up-take ratio were used to evaluate DAT protein 1evel and striatum DAT binding activity respectively. Results There were an age-related decline of rolling-bar latency and striatum 131I-FP-β-CIT up-take ratio in rats older than6 months.There was a significant difference between 6-month-old rats and older rats(12-month-old rats,16-month-old rats,20-month-old rats),and rolling-bar latency was correlated with striatum 131I-FP-β-CIT up-take ratio(r=0.656,P＜0.01).There was no change in DAT protein 1evel during aging process. Conclusions The age-related decline of motor function of rats was correlated with the decreasing of striatum DAT binding activity.The synaptic membrane expression of striatum DAT may decrease in aged rats.

Objective To explore the changes and the clinical relevance of plasma p-selectin (PS) and vascular endothelial cell function in patients with carotid stenosis (CS) before and after carotid artery stenting (CAS). Methods The plasma levels of PS, yon willebrand (vWF) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) before CAS and 1hour,6 hours,24 hours,2 months after CAS in 67 patients with carotid stenosis and 54 cases of TIA with negative result from cerebral angiography were measured. The patients of the therapy group were further divided into group A and group B according to complexity of CAS. The plasma levels of PS and vWF were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay,and the level of ET-1 was measured by radioimmunoassay. Results The plasma levels of PS,vWF and ET-1 all increased in the patients group after CAS. In the therapy group,the level of PS reached peak value (29.23 ± 6.98) ng/ml 1 hour after CAS, and the levels of vWF and ET-1 reached peak value (119.63 ±16.75) %, (79.71 ± 9.78) ng/L 6 hour after CAS. In therapy group, there was significant difference in the levels of PS and ET-1 between each time points after CAS and before CAS (P＜0.05,P ＜0.01 respectively). There was significant difference in the level of vWF between 1 hour, 6 hours, 24 hours after CAS and before CAS (P ＜ 0.05 orP ＜ 0.01). There was significant difference in tihe levels of PS 1 hour after CAS and ET-1 at 6 hours after CAS (P ＜0.05) ,and in the level of vWF at 1 hour,6 hours after CAS between control group and therapy group (P ＜0.01).There was significant difference in the level of vWF at every time point after CAS (P ＜ 0.05 or P ＜ 0.01), and in the level of ET-1 at 1 hour,6 hours,24 hours between A group and B group(P ＜0.05 or P ＜0.01). Conclusions PS, vWF and ET-1 were activated to some extent and related to pathological changes degree and complexity of CAS. Monitoring these biological indexes after CAS maybe of great value in predicting risk, evaluating clinical therapy and judging prognosis.

Objective To investigate the effects of hedysarum polybotys saccharide (HPS) on lipid metabolism and the expression of stearoyl-CoA desaturase-1(SCD-1) gene in rats with non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). To discuss the interfering effects of HPS on NAFLD. Methods The SD rats were randomly divided into the blank control group and the experiment group. Rats in the experiment group were fed with lipid rich food for 8 weeks to establish model and were randomly divided into model group, drug positive group and HPS group. After 8 weeks of drug intervention, the level of ALT, AST, TC, TG, HDL-c and LDL-c were measured with automatic chemistry analyzer, and expression of SCD-1 gene was measured by semi-quantitative polymerase chain reaction.Results Compared with blank control group, serum ALT, AST and TC, TG, LDL-c of model group were higher (P<0.05,P<0.01), the level of HDL-c of model group and the expression of SCD-1 gene were lower (P<0.01). Compared with model group, HPS was useful to decrease serum ALT, AST, LDL-c, TC and TG (P<0.05,P<0.01), and increase the level of HDL-c (P<0.01) and the expression of SCD-1 gene (P<0.01).ConclusionHPS had a positive effect on regulating lipid metabolic disturbance of NAFLD rats and promoting the expression of regulatory gene SCD-1.
