Objective To check some medical oxygen flowmeters in use in the military area command. Methods According to JJG 917-1996 buoy oxygen inhalant measuring rules, 930 oxygen flowmeters in the military area command were measured. Results The unqualified reasons of medical oxygen flowmeter mainly lay in the capability decline of pressure resistance of humid bottle, the poor airproof of the interface, the overflow of pressure, and the overflow of flux value. Conclusion To improve the quality situation of medical oxygen flowmeter, the department of technical supervision, hospital and manufacturer need to make efforts together.

The purifying operating room with tidiness, antisepsis and easy operation is widely used in more hospitals. The same time, depurative flow, manufacturing skill and technical standards of it are still developing. But filter maintenance and replacing as key component has major difference in different region and season. Through four-year exploration and practice, the methods of filter maintenance and replacing were explained, which carry out the questions of consumption and energy efficiency.

Objective To observe the effect of ligustrazine (TMP) on the expression of connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) and osteopontin (OPN) in the renal tubulointerstitium of diabetic nephropathy (DN) rats. Methods Wistar rats were used to establish the models through intraperitoneal injection of onedose streptozotocin (STZ) and nephrectomy. Rats were divided into 5 groups at random: model group, blank control group, Lotensin (1.7 mg? kg- 1? d- 1) group, of high-and lowdosage of TMP groups (150, 50 mg? kg- 1? d- 1). Except the rats in blank group and model group, the rats received corresponding medicines according to the experimental design for 12 weeks.Volume of urine protein within 24 hours was examined in the 4th, the 8th and the 12 th week, OPN mRNA expression in the renal tubulointerstitium was detected by RT- PCR and CTGF was detected by means of immunohistochemistry. Results Compared with normal group, the volume of 24 h urine protein rised obviously (P

BACKGROUND:LIM mineralization protein-1 (LMP-1) and hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) as intracelular proteins can induce osteogenic differentiation and promote angiogenesis, respectively. Therefore, their combination is of great significance for effectively inducing the osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cels.
OBJECTIVE:To study the osteogenic differentiation of adipose-derived stem cels transfected by lentivirus vector carrying LMP-1 and HIF-1α.
METHODS:Reverse transcription-PCR technology was employed to clone LMP-1 and HIF-1α genes, and thegenes were cloned to lentivirus vectors pLVX-EF1α-DsRed-Hyg and pLVX-EF1α-IRES2-AcGFP1 to construct main lentiviral vectors pLVX-EF1α-DsRed-Hyg-RLMP-1 and pLVX-EF1α-IRES2-AcGFP1-RHIF-1α. Then, Lenti-X 293T cels were transfected with main vectors pLVX-EF1α-DsRed-Hyg-RLMP-1 and pLVX-EF1α-IRES2-AcGFP1-RHIF-1α, packaging plasmid and coated plasmid. After that, lentiviral vectors were packaged to transfect adipose-derived stem cels from rats that were obtained by tissue explants culture and enzyme digestion methods. At 3, 7, 14 days after transfection, reverse transcription-PCR technology was adopted to detect the expression of osteogeic genes, such as bone morphogenetic protein 2, Runx-2, alkaline phosphatase, osteocalcin as wel as to detect the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Lentiviral vectors pLVX-EF1α-DsRed-Hyg-RLMP-1 and pLVX-EF1α-IRES2-AcGFP1-RHIF-1α were effectively transfected into adipose-derived stem cels. Reverse transcription-PCR results showed that from the 7th day to the 14th day after lentivirus transfection, bone morphogenetic protein 2, Runx-2, alkaline phosphatase and osteocalcin al over-expressed. These findings indicate that the combination of LMP-1 and HIF-1α can enhance the osteogenic activity of adipose-derived stem cels.

Objective To understand the epidemiologic trend and characteristics of the distribution of schistosomiasis in Yunnan Province, China. Methods The data of two sampling surveys on schistosomiasis in Yunnan in 1995 and 2003 were collected, and the database of GIS was set up. The spatial status of rates of human infection and cattle infection were analyzed by using the GIS software, ArcView 3.2, contours method. The relationships between rates of human infection and cattle infection in 1995 and 2003 were analyzed with SPSS statistical software. Results The high-risk areas of schistosomiasis in Yunnan were Dali City, Yongsheng, Heqing, Eryuan, Weishan and Nanjian counties, and those areas contained different infection grades which were intertwine. The rate of human infection was descendent and the distribution of high-risk areas of schistosomiasis was decreasing. The infection rate of cattle was higher than before in the south of epidemic areas in Yunnan. Those epidemic areas of schistosomiasis could be identified as three spatial distributions. Conclusions The control and prevention of schistosomiasis in Yunnan should be focus on Dali City, Eryuan, Weishan, Yongsheng, Heqing and Nanjian counties, and the key is synchronistical chemotherapy in human and cattle.

Aim To study the relationship between pul-monary hypertension (PHT) and 5-hydroxytrapta-mine transporter (5-HTT) in the pulmonary arteries (PAs) from normal and monocrotaline (MCT) induced pulmonary hypertension rats. Methods MCT-treated rats were used as a model for chronic PHT.Concentration-response curves of 5-hydroxytraptamine induced pulmonary vasoconstriction were established. The medial wall thickness of pulmonary arteries was measured. Semi-quantitative RT-PCR was performed to identify the expression of 5-HTT mRNA in rat PAs.Results 5-HT induced vasoconstriction response of PAs from MCT rats was significantly increased.The thickness of pulmonary vascular medial walls was increased in MCT rats. A significantly higher level of 5-HTT mRNA expression was detected in PAs from MCT rats. The ratio of the PCR products of 5-HTT gene to those of ?-actin gene was higher in MCT rats than in control rats. 5-HTT mRNA expression of pulmonary arteries correlated with the thickness of pulmonary vascular medial walls in rats.Conclusions MCT-induced pulmonary vascular remodeling and increased vascular contractile response to 5-HT were accompanied with enhanced level of 5-HTT mRNA expression and there existed correlation between the wall thickness of pulmonary arteries and 5-HTT mRNA expression,indicating 5-HTT is an important mechanism involved in pulmonary hypertension.
