Objective To evaluate the influence of the storing time of venous blood samples on the differential count of WBC by Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer. Methods At room temperature, the precision of the differential count of WBC by Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer were tested. 38 samples were taken the differential count of WBC by Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer after stored for 0, 2, 4, 8, 24 and 48 h. Differential count of WBC was also taken under microscope for comparison. Results The precision of differential count of WBC by Sysmex XE-2100for all the samples was in the allowable range. The correlation coefficient of the differential count of WBC by two methods for neutrophils, lymphocytes, monocytes, eosinophils and basophils were 0.9859, 0.9775, 0.8053, 0.8695and 0.5243 (P<0.01). There was insignificant difference in the test at 8h, very significant difference of MONO and EOS at 48 h. Differences of EOS, MONO between two methods were significant increased at 8 h. Conclusion At room temperature, the differential count of WBC of venous blood samples by Sysmex XE-2100 hematology analyzer should finish within 8 h.

Objective To evaluate the identification and counting effeciency of nucleated red blood cells by Sysmex XE-2100 Hematology Analyzer. Methods Accurancy: nucleated red blood cells were counted from 38 specimens by Sysmex XE-2100 Hematology Analyzer and compared with the number counted under microscopy. Precision: 3 specimens with different values were counted for the nucleated red blood cells 10 times by Sysmex XE-2100 Hematology Analyzer and compared with the number counted under microscopy. The CV(% ) value was estimated.Results There was insignificant difference between the results obtained from Sysmex XE-2100 Hematology Analyzer and those under microscopy. In the T-test, P >0.05, r=0.9893(P< 0.01).CV(% ) were 8.1% and 15.8% . It means that the Sysmex XE-2100 is more precise in analyzing the nucleated red blood cells than that under microscopy. Conclusion The nucleated red blood cells count by Sysmex XE-2100 is accurate and fast to obtain clinical data.

Objective To explore the protective effects of a new military functional food NB-5 on psychological stress-induced oxidative stress .Methods Rat whiskers were completely removed to induce the oxidative stress , and the concen-trations of MDA and protein carbonyl in various organs were detected to study the damage to membrane lipid and protein . Rats were fed with NB-5 for 4 weeks, and the oxidative stress was induced by whisker cutting .Biochemical marks men-tioned above were detected to explore the protective effects of NB-5.Results and Conclusion Lipid and protein peroxida-tion occurred in the brain , heart, liver, spleen and kidney after whisker removal due to emotional stress , while the catalase ( CAT) activity decreased significantly in these organs except the spleen .In this experiment model , NB-5 showed a good free radical scavenging activity to reduce the lipid and protein peroxidation among whisker -cutting rats fed with NB-5 in ad-vance.So NB-5 can serve as a good food for soldiers in case of emergency incidents .

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of paroxetine alone and combined with folic acid in patients complaining of premature ejaculation ,and measured the 5-hydroxyptamine(5-HT ) concentration in two groups before and after treatment and compared the differences .Methods 126 cases of PE were included from department of Urology of 363 Hospital of Chengdu .Subjects were randomly divided into 2 groups ,group A were given paroxetine hydrochloride 20 mg/d ,group B were given paroxetine hydrochloride 20 mg/d and fo-lic acid 0 .4 mg/d ,study duration was 8 weeks .Blood sample got from the candidates both in screening period and after 8 weeks of treatment .The efficiency after treatment was measured by IELT and PEP ,the plasma 5-HT level was measured too .SPSS16 .0 statistical analysis was used .Results After treatment ,IELT of group A and group B was improved from 1 .21 ,1 .18 min to 8 .04 ,9 .42 min .The improvement of average IELT in group B was significantly higher than that in group A ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) ;The PEP score and 5-HT level in group B were significantly higher than that in group A ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Paroxetine combined with folic acid in the treatment of primary premature ejaculation has a significant effect ,compared to paroxetine alone .The average plasma level of 5-HT increased significantly ,and folic acid could assist paroxetine in elevating plasma levels of 5-HT and improving primary premature ejaculation symptoms .

OBJECTIVETo investigate the expression and function of PKD1 and PKD2 in different kidney tissues and cell lines.
METHODSImmunoprecipitation, Western blotting, In situ hybridization and immunohistochemical staining methods were used to observe the expression of PKD1 mRNA and PKD2 mRNA and their protein abundance in different kidney tissues and cell lines.
RESULTSCoordinate expressions of PKD1 and PKD2 were found in all kidney tissues and cell lines. Distribution of PKD1 mRNA and PKD2 mRNA and their protein polycystin-1 and polycystin-2 in normal human adult kidney tissue were mainly expressed in the medullary collecting ducts and distal tubules. Positive staining was also found in the majority of cyst-lining epithelial cells of PKD1 cystic kidney tissue, PKD1 cyst-lining epithelia cell line and LLC-PK1. The expression level of them in cystic epithelia of ADPKD kidney tissue was much higher than that in adult renal tubules (P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONSSimilar expression pattern of PKD1 and PKD2 and their different tissue distribution in different kidney tissues show that the molecular mutuality of PC-1 and PC-2 might be the base of their functional correlation. Polycystins might play an important role in the maintenance of tubular architecture.
