ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of propofol and etomidate on apoptosis in hippocampal neurons in rats.MethodsOne hundred and forty male 4 weeks old SD rats were randomly divided into 7 groups (n =20 each):control group (group C) ; groups P1,2,3 received intraperitoneal (IP) propofol 50,100 and 200mg/kg and groups E1,2,3 received IP etomidate 10,30 and 60 mg/kg respectively.Arterial blood samples were obtained at 2 h after the animals were fully awake for blood gas analysis.The animals were then sacrificed and their brains removed for microscopic examination of the ultrastructure of neurons in hippocampal CA1 area and detection of Survivin and Caspase-3 mRNA and protein expression in hippocampus by RT-PCR and Western blot analysis.ResultsThere was no significant difference in PaO2,PaCO2,SaO2,HCO3-,BE and pH value among the 7 groups.The neurons in CA1 area were basically normal in groups C,P1 and E1 while condensation of the chromatin of the nucleus and apoptotic bodies were observed in groups P3 and E3.Caspase-3 mRNA and protein expression was significantly up-regulated while Survivin mRNA and protein down-regulated in groups P3 and E3.Conclusion High dose of propofol and etomidate may induce apoptosis in hippocampal neurons in rats by up-regulation of Caspase-3 expression and down-regulation of Survivin expression.

Objective To investigate the effect of morphine on the expression of p53 mRNA and E2F-1 mRNA in human gastric carcinoma cell line MGC-803 .Methods The human gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 was purchased from Cell Biology Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences, and cultured in DMEM liquid culture mediun. The cells were seeded in 6-well plates (1 × 103/ml or 2 × 105/ml, 1 ml/well) and divided into 2 groups (n = 18 wells each):group Ⅰ normal control (group C); group Ⅱ was exposed to 10 μmol/L morphine (group M). The proliferation of the cells was determined by colony formation assay at 7 day of incubation with morphine. The expression of p53 mRNA and E2F-1 mRNA was detected and the ulrastructure of the cells examined with transmission electron microscope after being incubated with morphine for 24 h. Results The proliferation of the cells and E2F-1 mRNA expression were significantly lower and p53 mRNA expression was significantly higher in group M than in group C (P ＜ 0.05). The nuclear evelope was intact and the nucleolus and chromosomes were clearly visible in group C, while in group M fragmentation of nuclear envelope and nucleolus and apoptotic bodies were observed. Conclusion Morphine can inhibit the proliferation of the cells and accelerate the cell apoptosis through up-regulating the expression of p53 gene and down-regulating the expression of E2F-1gene in human gastric carcinoma cell line MGC-803.

Objective To investigate the application value of Xpert mycobacterium tuberculosis/rifampicin (GeneXpertMTB/RIF) and Hain techniques for the diagnosis of sputum smear negative tuberculosis and for the assessment of rifampin resistance. Methods A total of 254 patients with suspected pulmonary tuberculosis treated in our hospital from March 2018 to June 2019 were enrolled. GeneXpertMTB/RIF, Hain techniques, Roche culture and drug susceptibility testing were performed. Taking Roche culture results as a gold standard, the efficacy of GeneXpertMTB/RIF and Hain techniques in detecting sputum smear-negative pulmonary tuberculosis was analyzed by ROC curve. Based on the results of drug susceptibility testing, the efficacy of GeneXpertMTB/RIF and Hain techniques in detecting rifampicin resistance was analyzed. Results The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of GeneXpertMTB/RIF in the diagnosis of sputum smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis were 82.18%, 86.93% and 83.52%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of Hain technique in the diagnosis of sputum smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis were 67.33%, 77.12% and 73.23%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of GeneXpertMTB/RIF in evaluating rifampicin resistance were 73.33%, 98.84% and 95.05%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of Hain technique in evaluating rifampicin resistance were 86.67%, 82.56% and 83.17%, respectively. Conclusion Compared with Hain technology, GeneXpertMTB/RIF had better clinical value for diagnosis of sputum smear negative tuberculosis and for the assessment of rifampin resistance. This study demonstrates that GeneXpertMTB/RIF technique has a good application value in the rapid diagnosis and treatment of sputum smear negative pulmonary tuberculosis.

Objective The aim of this study was to investigate the susceptibility and prognostic implications of the cyclin D1 gene(CCND1) G870A polymorphism to nasopharyngeal carcinomas (NPC) in Han population in Yunnan China. Methods Two hundred and forty one cases with NPC and 271 matched cancer-free controls were genotyped for the CCND1 G870A polymorphism by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR-RFLP) and sequencing. The adjusted odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated by using unconditional logistic regression model. Overall survival was assessed using univariate and multivariate analyses. Results Contrast with homozygous CCND1 G870G, A allele significantly increasing risk of NPC was associated with homozygous A870A (OR =4.79, 95% CI 2.77 - 8.28, P < 0.001) and heterozygous A870G (OR = 1.72, 95% CI 1.10 - 2.68, P = 0.017). The subjects at least having one CCND1 870A allele had OR of 2.40(95% CI 1.59 -3.63, P < 0.001). Furthermore, smoking may increase the risk of developing NPC interacting with CCND1 G870A polymorphism. Kaplan-Meier analysis and Cox regression analysis demonstrated that the five-year survival rate of subjects with A.A, AG and GG genotypo was 56.2%, 78.5% and 81.4% (AA vs GG, P=0.003; AA vs AG, P =0.012; AG vs GG, P =0.132), but not independent prognostic factor in NPC(P = 0.501). Conclusions The CCND1 870A allele is associated with the NPC in Han population in Yunnan China, meanwhile, showed a significant prognosis for those patients.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the semen quality of the donors.

METHODSThe semen parameters of the primary samples of 512 donors were examined following the World Health Organization (WHO) guide and computer-aided sperm analysis (CASA, product by Harmilton Thorne) system.

RESULTSOf the 246 (246/512, 48%) donors with potential fertility, only 146 (146/512, 28.5%) came up to the semen standard set by the Chinese Ministry of Health, while 266 (266/512, 52%) were below the WHO reference values of semen parameters.

CONCLUSIONRepeat semen analyses may increase the success rate in screening semen donors. The semen quality of the donors suggests that it is necessary to pay more attention to male reproductive health.

Salmonella enterica serovar Choleraesuis strain C500 is a live, attenuated vaccine that has been used in China for over 40 years to prevent piglet paratyphoid. The objective of this study was to evaluate the potential of attenuated Salmonella enterica serovar Choleraesuis C500 strain with a delta asd mutant as an effective live vaccine vector by the Asd+ balanced-lethal host-vector system. Here, we compared the characteristics of S. enterica serovar Choleraesuis delta asdC500 strain with the parent C500 strain, including phenotype, growth rate, virulence, safety, and expression for heterologous antigen. The mean generation times of delta asdC500 mutant, the vector control delta asdC500 (pYA3493), and the parent avirulent C500 vaccine strain in Luria broth were 30.7, 28.1, and 27.9 min, respectively. The fermentation patterns of theses three strains on different carbohydrates, and the levels of production of H2S, were similar. The O and H antigens of delta asdC500 mutant, delta asdC500 (pYA3493) and delta asdC500 (pYA-F1P2) were 6,7:C:1,5, identical to the parent strain C500. By the method of Reed and Muench, groups of mice were challenged by the intraperitoneal route with different amounts of delta asdC500 (pYA3493) or the parent C500 strain, and the virulence of delta asdC500 (pYA3493) with LD50 of 1.1 x 10(7) CFU was a little lower than C500 with LD50 of 4.4 x 10(6) CFU. All piglets inoculated with delta asdC500 (pYA3493) or C500 survived, and no signs of disease were observed during the entire experimental period. No major differences were found in these two groups. In addition, the recombinant pYA-F1P2 plasmid was very stable in the recombinant delta asdC500 (pYA-F1P2) strain, which expressed secretorily a large amount of the recombinant filamentous hemagglutinin type I domain and pertactin region 2 domain antigen (rF1P2) of Bordetella bronchiseptica. In this study, we have shown that the delta asdC500 mutant had a series of biological characteristics similar to the parent vaccine strain C500. Furthermore, the strain could express secretorily a large amount of heterologous antigen. It is likely that this Salmonella expression and delivery system could be easily adapted to develop multivalent recombinant Salmonella vaccines against infectious agents using the Asd+ balanced-lethal host-vector system.
