Diabetes mellitus (DM ) was the third largest chronic disease in the world and the number of patients in China ranked first. Diabetic nephropathy (DN ) as one of the most serious complications of DM was the main cause of death in DM patients along with the incidence of DM gradually increasing. The complex pathogenic mechanism of DN was composed of many factors such as the disorder of glucose metabolism ,inflammation and immune response. Under the special environment of the DM , autoimmunity was an important factor for the occurrence and development of DN. Immune cells ,cytokines and autoantibodies influenced each other resulting in impairment of renal function and affected the progression of DN. Further research on the immune related factors in DN and DM has important value for the prevention and treatment of these diseases.

Objective To explore the clinical effects of high frequency oscillatory ventilation (HFOV) combined with pulmonary surfactant (PS) on neonatal meconium aspiration syndrome (MAS).Methods Data of 53 newborns with MAS admitted into the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Ning Bo Women and Children's Hospital from June 2008 to June 2011 were retrospectively analyzed.According to different therapeutic measures,they were divided into three groups:conventional mechanical ventilation (CMV) group (n=23),HFOV group (n=18) and HFOV+PS group (n=12).The oxygen index,arterial oxygen/alveolar oxygen ratio (a/ApO2) and inspired oxygen fraction (FiO2) were monitored at 2,12,24 and 48 h after mechanical ventilation.The mechanical ventilation time,duration of hospital stay,change of symptom,complications and clinical outcomes of the three groups were compared by analysis of variance and Chi-square test.Results The parameters of the three groups at 2 and 48 h after mechanical ventilation were as followed:CMV group [oxygen index:(23.79±7.27) and (15.04±4.76) mm Hg; a/ApO2:0.11±0.04 and 0.31 ±0.07; FiO2:0.74±0.16 and 0.47± 0.21],HFOV group [oxygen index:(21.13±6.29) and (11.73±4.54) mm Hg; a/ApO2:0.14±0.06 and 0.35±0.06; FiO2:0.68±0.14 and 0.41±0.11] and HFOV+ PS group [oxygen index:( 18.35 ± 5.68 ) and ( 7.85 ± 5.06 )mm Hg; a/ApO2:0.17±0.03 and 0.40±0.02; FiO2:0.59±0.13 and 0.29±0.16].Compared with CMV group,the parameters of HFOV group and HFOV+ PS group were different at different time points,and the parameters (duration and extent) of HFOV+ PS group were better than those of HFOV group (all P＜0.05).The mechanical ventilation time was (7.2±0.6) days in CMV group,(4.2± 1.4) days in HFOV group and (2.9±0.5) days in HFOV+PS group; the hospital stay was (22.2±4.5) days in CMV group,(15.6±3.4) days in HFOV group and (11.8±4.3) days in HFOV+PS group; and the oxygen treatment time was (15.4± 2.4) days in CMV group,(11.8±5.3) days in HFOV group and (7.4±2.2) days in HFOV+PS group.The mechanical ventilation time,oxygen treatment time and hospital stay time were the longest in CMV group,the shortest in HFOV+ PS group (P＜ 0.05,respectively).Conclusions Early HFOV combined with PS might be a better therapeutic method for infants with MAS than HFOV or CMV alone.

The goal of this work was to explore the prospect of standardized application of an in-vitro bioactivity assay for recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone based on a reporter gene. The relative accuracy, intermediate precision, linearity and applicable range of the method were validated according to the General Rules of Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 edition Volume IV (9401). Three laboratories used this method to determine the in-vitro biological activities of six batches of drug product and three batches of drug substance manufactured by two different companies. The consistency of the potency determined by three laboratories, the intra-laboratory precision and inter-laboratory precision were analyzed. The method was optimized during the collaborative validation. The results of method validation meet the requirements of the General Rules of Chinese Pharmacopoeia 2020 edition Volume IV (9401). Aiming to resolve the problems found in the collaborative validation, the medium for cell seeding, the pre-diluted buffer solution of standard and sample, and the means of removing and discarding supernatant after stimulation were optimized. After optimization, there was no significant difference in the bioactivity among the different laboratories (P > 0.05), indicating statistical equivalency. Intra-laboratory and inter-laboratory precision were good and the geometric coefficient of variation (GCV%) were both less than 15%. In conclusion, the reporter gene assay has good intra-laboratory repeatability and inter-laboratory reproducibility and is suitable for analyzing recombinant human follicle-stimulating hormone drug product and drug substance by different manufacturers. It is expected to be used as a standardized method for the determination of the in-vitro bioactivity of such products.

BACKGROUND: The in vitro amplification is a primary method for harvesting endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) due to its simple operation and low cost.OBJECTIVE: To isolate EPCs from rabbit bone marrow to further observe the effects of autologous EPCs on promoting vascular endothelial repair.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: An open experiment was performed at the laboratory of Department of Internal Medicine, Changzheng Hospital, Second Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between March 2005 and February 2006. MATERIALS: Eight New Zealand rabbits of either gender, aged 6-8 months, weighing (2.5:L-0.5) kg, were included in this study. Rabbit bone marrow was taken for isolation of bone marrow mononuclear cells by density centrifugation. METHODS: Bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells were inoculated at 1×106/cm2 and cultured for 7 days in M199 medium containing vascular endothelial growth factors and basic fibroblast growth factors. EPCs were identified by Dil-labeled acetylated low-density lipoprotein (Dil- Ac-LDL) and FITC-labeled lectin BS-1 staining. Cells that phagocytized Ac-LDL displayed red fluorescence, cells that combined with lectin BS-1 showed green fluorescence, and cells that were labeled with both exhibited orange fluorescence. Expression levels of CD133, CD134, and Flk-lwere detected using immunofluorescent staining and through the use of flow cytometer.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Cellular morphology observation. ② Proliferative capacity of EPCs.③EPCs identified by Dil- Ac-LDL and FITC-labeled lectin BS-1. ④ lmmanohistocbemical identification of EPCs. ⑤Flow cytometry identification of EPC surface marker.RESULTS: ① Cellular morphological observation: the newly isolated bone marrow-derived mononuclear cells exhibited a round appearance. Following 72-hour culture, adherent cells grew in colony cluster, presenting with round or irregular appearance, and nuclear division was obvious. By day 7, flaky cell colonies mutually connected together, presenting with shuttle-shaped endothelioid cells.② Proliferative capability of EPCs: in the 2-4 days of culture, EPCs proliferated fast, and the proliferation slowed down thereafter, exhibiting a typical "S" -shaped appearance. By days 6 and 7, EPC proliferation accelerated again, with the absorbance values of 0.58±0.15 and 0.62±0.23, respectively. ③ Over 95% of EPC cytoplasm exhibited red fluorescence after stained with Ac-LDL, appropriately 100% of cytoplasm exhibited green fluorescence after stained with FITC-labeled lectin BS-1, and over 90% of cytoplasm exhibited orange fluorescence after double staining. ④ Immonohistochemistry and flow cytometry results revealed positive expression of EPC surface markers CD133, FIK-1, and CD34.CONCLUSION: Cell population with EPC characteristics can be successfully isolated from rabbit bone marrow by in vitro amplification.

BACKGROUND: Studies have shown that basic fibroblast growth factor has effects on stimulating vessel regeneration and collateral reconstruction. However, administration was performed mostly by peripheral vein, left atrium or percutaneous coronary intervention, and it is difficult to achieve an effective therapeutic concentration in the local myocardium. OBJECTIVE: Based on the property of poly(D, I-lactic-coglycolic acid) (PLGA), to investigate outcomes of inducing neovascularization in the myocardium in combination of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) by ensuring target release of protein growth factor in local tissue. METHODS: PLGA and bFGF were dissolved in dichloromethane. This liquid mixture was rolled into the form of a hollow tube (3.0 mm outer diameter, 2.8 mm inner diameter, 0.1 mm thick, 10 mm length) for further use. The middle third of the left anterior descending coronary artery of mini-swines was ligated, and the local myocardium became dark purple. After the successful establishment by abnormal regional wall motion in the cardiac apex at anterior wall using ultrasound, the mini-swines were assigned to channels and bare scaffolds (BS) group and channels and bFGF-incorporating scaffolds (FS) group. The scaffold was implanted in the myocardium using self-made hollow bit. At 6 weeks, the number of proliferative cells was quantified by immunohistochemical staining. New vessels were quantified utilizing Image-Pro Plus software package in both groups. Quantitative analysis of changes in mass defect percentage was performed by Emory Cardiac Toolbox software combined with single-photon-emission computed tomography. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 6 weeks, number of proliferative cells and the density of new vessels were significantly increased in the FS group compared with BS group(P<0.001). Single-photon-emission computed tomography illustrates that MDP was significantly lower in the FS group compared with the BS group (P < 0.001). Results have suggested that PLGA scaffolds that incorporate bFGF were able to induce angiogenesis and enhance blood-flow perfusion.

Objective To study the effect and value of hepatoarterical catheter chemotherapy in treating gastric carcinoma with liver metastasis. Methods A total of 31 cases of gastric carcinoma with liver metastasis undergoing radical operation were preoperatively randomly divided into 2 groups: Regional infusion chemotherapy (treatment group, 17 cases) and peripheral venous chemotherapy (control group, 14 cases). Results The short-term effectiveness of the treatment group was 88.3 %(15/17). The survival rates of 1, 2, 3 year were 88.2 %, 62.7 %, 28.9 %, respectively. However, the short-term effectiveness of the control group was 28.6 %(4/14). The survival rates of 1, 2, 3 year were 68.1 %, 38.9 %, 13.0 %, respectively. There was obvious difference between the two groups (χ~2 = 12.87, P <0.05;χ~2 =5.511, P<0.01). Conclusion Hepatoarterical catheter chemotherapy is effective for gastric carcinoma with liver metastasis undergoing radical operation and has less toxic side effects.

Objective To analyze the genetic characteristics of H1N1 influenza viruses isolated in Shenzhen during 1995 to 2007. Methods The hemagglutinin(HA) gene of these viruses were sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences was performed with Simmonic and Mega software. Results The H1N1 influenza viruses isolated in Shenzhen from 1995 to 2007 were divided into chide A, B and C. Some viruses from 2005 to 2006 clustered in the same group with the viruses of 2001. Furthermore, some of the vaccine strains recommended by WHO were found lagged behind the strains isolated in Shenzhen. Some mu-tations occurred on the antigenic sites as well as receptor-binding site(RBS). Except the viruses of 1995, the other viruses had deleted at the site 137. Conclusion Characterization of the HA gene revealed that most of the amino acid substitutions occurred on the antigenic sites and RBS. Furthermore, it was discovered that the mutations occurred on different antigenic regions in different years.

To develop and validate a liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) method for the quantification of epirubicin hydrochloride (EPI) in rat plasma, daunorubicin hydrochloride was used as internal standard. The plasma samples were deproteinated with methanol, and separation was performed on a reversed-phase CAPCELL PAK C18 column (3.0 mm x 50 mm, 3 microm). The mobile phase contained methanol-0.1% formic acid (80:20). Detection was carried out by multiple reaction monitoring on a HP1200-6410 QQQ LC/MS system. Different preparations of EPI solution, EPI-LIP (EPI-liposome) and EPI-LTSL (EPI-thermosensitive liposome) was administered in rats by i.v with the same dosage (12 mg kg(-1)). The pharmacokinetic model and parameters were fitted and calculated by the DAS ver2.0 software. The calibration curve was linear in the range of 0.01-50 microg mL(-1). The limit of quantification was 0.01 microg mL(-1). RSDs of intra- and interbatch precisions were all less than 11.9%. The average extract recovery was 89.3% and 92.1%, respectively. The pharmacokinetics of EPI in rats with all preparations were fitted to three compartments, which all fast distributed and slowly eliminated. The t1/2 alpha, t1/2 beta, t1/2 gamma, AUC(0-infinity), and MRT(0-infinity) of EPI-LTSL group were 7.5, 1.3, 12.6, 12.9, 3.7 times those of EPI solution group; and 1.6, 1.4, 12.3, 2.9, 2.6 times those of EPI-LIP group. Moreover, the CL of the latter two groups was about 13.4 times of the former EPI-LTSL group. EPI-LTSL can significantly improve AUC and prolong the circulation time of EPI in rat plasma.
