1.STUDY OF HIGH-RESOLUTION G-BANDING PATTERN OF RABBIT(ORYCTOLAGUS CUNICULUS)
Acta Anatomica Sinica 1953;0(01):-
Since rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) possess many fine biological characteristics, they have been used in the studies of tumour, gene mapping and evolution. All of these need us to know the high-resolution G-banding pattern of rabbit chromosomes. Primary lung fibroblasts of new born rabbits were cultivated in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 20% new born bovine serum. In order to get the synchronized cells, chemical(MTX, TdR) method and physical (Cold Shock) method were used. By using trypsin-Giemsa banding-technique, we obtained fine high-resolution G-banding karyotypes of rabbit. The bands of rabbit chromosomes were analyzed and described. An idiogram which contains 583 bands of high-resolution G-banding chromosomes of rabbit has been made. The feature of rabbit choromosome bands and the method uesd to get the high resolution banding chromosomes were briefly discussed.

Objective To study the subchronic toxicity of sodium fluoride on mRNA expression of estrogen receptor(ER) in female mice.Methods Forty female mice were randomly divided into 4 groups according to body mass,10 in each group,and exposed to sodium fluoride solution(0,1,5,25 mg/L) through drinking water in control,low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups for 12 weeks.The expression levels of ERα,ER3 mRNA in ovarian tissues were determined by RT-PCR method.Results The relative expression levels of ERα,ERβ mRNA in control,low-,medium-and high-dose groups were 0.7028 + 0.0474,0.7195 ± 0.0552,0.6479 ± 0.0590,0.5684 ± 0.0513 and 0.8418 ± 0.0131,0.7729 ± 0.0974,0.7610 ± 0.0984,0.8026 ± 0.0234,respectively.The difference between high-dose and control groups of the expression level of ERα was statistically significant (P < 0.05).Conclusions The subchronic toxicity of fluoride can decrease the expression of estrogen receptor in ovarian tissue,which may have a certain effect on reproductive development of female mice.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of lentivirus-mediated silencing information regulation protein 6(SIRT6)overexpression on radioactive lung injury in rats.Methods 72 male 150-200 g Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups(n=24).The 6 MV-X-ray linear accelerator was used to irradiate the lungs.The rats in each group were injected with normal saline(TNF-α)were measured at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks after radiotherapy(Lent-SIRT6), and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-IL-6 and IL-1β were measured by HE staining.The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in liver tissue were detected by HE staining.The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in liver tissue were detected by HE staining.Results The alveolar wall and alveolar stroma were normal in the control group.The alveolar wall of the irradiated group was thickened and fibrosis, and a large number of hypertrophic fibrous tissues were found in the alveolar stroma.The alveolar wall of Lent-SIRT6 group was thickened And alveolar stromal fibrosis symptoms were lighter than the irradiation group.Compared with the control group, the levels of serum TNF-α and IL-6, neutrophil count and the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in the liver tissue were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).The lentiviruses overexpressing SIRT6 could alleviate the abnormalities caused by radiation (P<0.05).The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion SIRT6 can effectively inhibit the inflammatory reaction, reduce the lung injury symptoms of radiation pneumonia, and have some protective and prevention effect on lung injury.

Studies have shown that women's menopause caused by permanent cessation of ovarian function is closely related to lipid metabolism disorders. Er-xian Decoction has been used in the clinical treatment for gynecological diseases and has a good effect on diseases related to reduced sex hormone function. In this study, metabolomics was performed on bilateral ovariectomized model rats within 12 weeks after modeling to mimic the physiological state of menopausal women in different menopausal stages and Er-xian Decoction dosed model rats. The results of liver oil red O staining sections showed lipid metabolic disorder of bilateral ovariectomized model rats and the regulating effects of Er-xian Decoction. 46 potential biomarkers (6 steroid hormones, 3 sphingolipids, 11 phospholipids and 26 glycerides) in plasma and 32 potential biomarkers (1 steroid hormones, 20 phospholipids and 11 glycerides) in liver were obtained based on lipidomics analysis. Then, we analyzed the differential metabolic pathways and construct the lipid metabolism network significantly regulated by Er-xian Decoction. The results provided valuable information for in-depth understanding of the gradual changes on lipid metabolism disorders under menopausal conditions and the characteristics and mechanisms of compound Er-xian Decoction's regulatory effects. The study complied with the procedures established by the Animal Experiment Ethics Committee of the Institute of Materia Medica, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences and passed the animal experiment ethics examine (No. 00000918).

Objective To observe the effects of lung protective ventilation strategy (LPVS) on inflammatory mediators in bronchial alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) in pulmonary and extrapulmonary acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS).Methods All of 62 extrapulmonary ARDS(ARDSexp) cases and 60 pulmonary ARDS (ARDSp) cases were divided into observation group and control group by table of random digit.ARDSexp and ARDSp observation group were received LPVS treatment [tidal volume 6-8 ml/kg,positive end expiratory pressure (PEEP) 5-15 cm H2O (1 cm H2O =0.098 kPa)],and ARDSexp and ARDSp control group were received the routine ventilation strategy (tidal volume 10-12 ml/kg,PEEP 4-8 cm H2O).All groups were treated with the same conventional therapy of ARDS,same model and parameter of mechanical ventilation.The level of tumor necrosis factor (TNF)-α,interleukin (IL)-6,IL-8 in BALF were tested by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay on the 1st,4th,7th day in each group.The oxygenation index was tested at 8 o'clock each morning.Results There were 4 ARDSexp cases and 6 ARDSp cases who were expelled,because of death within 7 days.ARDSexp observation group was in 28 cases,ARDSexp control group was in 30 cases,ARDSp observation group was in 28 cases,ARDSp control group was in 26 cases.The oxygenation index had no significant difference between ARDSexp and ARDSp observation group and corresponding ARDSexp and ARDSp control group on the 1st and 2nd day (P > 0.05).But the oxygenation index in ARDSexp and ARDSp observation group were significantly higher than that in ARDSexp and ARDSp control group from 3rd to 7th day (P < 0.05).The oxygenation index in ARDSexp observation group was significantly higher than that in ARDSp observation group except 1st day (P <0.05).The oxygenation index in ARDSexp and ARDSp observation group were significantly better with the time passing (P < 0.05).The BALF levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 in ARDSexp and ARDSp observation group were significantly lower than those in corresponding ARDSexp and ARDSp control group on the 4th and 7th day (P< 0.05).The BALF levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 in ARDSexp observation group and ARDSexp control group were significantly lower than those in corresponding ARDSp observation group and ARDSp control group (P< 0.05).The BALF levels of TNF-α,IL-6 and IL-8 in ARDSexp and ARDSp observation group were decreased significantly with the time passing (P <0.05).Conclusion It is more reasonable to decrease the BALF levels of inflammatory mediators,increase oxygenation index for ARDS patients to with LPVS treatment,then for ARDSexp patients obviously.
