Unusual dTDP-sugars are key intermediate in many pathogenic bacteria. In this study, negative-ion electrospray tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MS-MS) with collision-induced dissociation (CID) was used to study the fragmentation characteristics of six unusual nucleotide diphosphate sugars. The results indicated the major fragment of the six unusual nucleoside sugars observed in the ESI-MS-MS spectra resulted from cleavage of diphosphate moiety and their characteristic fragment ions at m/z 401, 383, and 321, correspond to [TDP-H] together with fragment ions resulting from the loss of water and phosphate moiety, respectively. Furthermore, 4-position substituted change of unusual sugar rings affected the stability of two important characteristic fragment ions of [glycosyl-1"-PO3](-) and [glycosyl-1"-P2O6](-).

Objective To investigate whether CD4~+ CD25~+ regulatory T cells (Treg) from C57BL/6J mice express alpha7 nicotinic acetylcholine receptor (α7nAChR). Methods CD4~+ CD25~+ regulatory T cells were isolated from mouse splenocytes with a CD4~+ CD25~+ regulatory T Cell isolation kit (Mihenyi Bio-tee). The purity of isolated Tregs was analyzed by flow eytometry. Expressions of α7nAChR in mouse CD4~+ CD25~+ Tregs were examined by immunofluorescence staining, Western blotting, and reverse transeription-PCR, respectively. Results It was revealed by flow cytometry that Tregs could bind alpha-bungarotoxin (α-BGT)-F/TC, a specific α7 nAChR antagonist. Moreover, a positive binding to α-Bgt was also observed on the cell surface of Treg, as viewed by fluorescent confoeal microscopy. In addition, a clear band of a7nAChR with a molecular mass of approximately 55 kD was found from Tregs by Western blotting analysis, and α7nAChR mRNA was expressed with the expected size of 199 bp from Tregs by reverse transcription-PCR. Conclusion Natural CD4~+ CD25~+ Tregs from mice express α7nAChR.

BACKGROUND:At present, there is no relevant systematic research about the effects of ankle-foot orthoses on lower limb muscles. OBJECTIVE:To extract the main features of the surface electromyography signals of the lower limbs from normal people with ankle-foot orthoses and to analyze the effects of the fixed ankle-foot orthoses on lower limb muscle fatigue. METHODS:Each of five male healthy young adults was respectively required to walk with and without special ankle-foot orthoses for three times. (1) Group 1, walking in a nature gait without orthoses. (2) Group 2, walking in a natural gait with ankle-foot orthoses (the ankle center was packaged over 1.0 cm by the orthoses that was recorded 1.0 cm); wearing the same orthoses but 1.0 cm in the ankle was removed and the ankle plastic edge was just through the ankle center to colect the data (recorded as 0 cm); after 1.0 cm was removed again in the ankle, walking in a natural gait (recorded as-1.0 cm). (3) Group 3, wearing 1.5 cm heel-height ankle-foot orthoses and walking in a natural gait; wearing the same orthoses but with 1.0 cm and 2.0 cm heel-height and walking in a natural gait. During walking, surface electromyography signals were colected from the biceps femoris muscle, rectus femoris muscle, tibialis anterior muscle, and gastrocnemius of the lower limbs. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) Without orthoses, the surface electromyography signals were the weakest. (2) For any muscle, the electrical activity of subjects without orthoses was weaker than that of subjects wearing orthoses at different hardness. (3) For the biceps femoris muscle, the integral electrical value without orthoses was very close to that wearing orthoses with normal heel height. Meanwhile, these two values were lower than that wearing orthoses with abnormal heel height. These findings indicate that the fixed plastic ankle-foot orthoses could cause the fatigue of the biceps femoris muscle, rectus femoris muscle, tibialis anterior muscle, and gastrocnemius; and the orthoses with abnormal heel height can further increase the fatigue of the biceps femoris muscle.

[Objective]To evaluate the accuracy of computer-assisted cervical pedicle screw installation and discuss the reasons of screw malposition.[Method]Totally 144 cervical pedicle screws were installed by computer-assisted navigation in 25 patients with lower cervical spinal disease.All the patients were examined by X-rays and CT after operation.Screw position and direction were measured on the sagittal and transsection image of intraoperative navigation and post-operative CT.The result was analyzed statistically.[Result]Two screws perforated the upper pedicle wall,3 deviated from the lateral pedicle wal1.There was no statistical difference in screw position or direction between navigation and CT image.Navigational images were based on the principle of rigid tissue.[Conclusion]Computer-assisted navigation can improve the accuracy of cervical pedicle screw installation.Screw malposition is responsible for the excursion phenomenon.

Objective To explore the feasibility of professional computer-aided design prosthetic software and processing systems for tele-process of lower-limb prosthesis. Methods The residual limb size data of 8 leg-amputation patients in prosthetic clinical reception were transferred to the computer prosthetic processing center. The appropriate lower-limb prosthetic socket mouth circles were selected in the software data model library, and were modified in accordance with the size table, and then they were processed and sent to the prosthetic clinical reception for the patients. The clinical function of lower-limb prosthesis was evaluated after try-on. Results The clinical function met the requirements in 7 patients wearing the prosthesis. Conclusion It is possible to design and tele-process lower-limb prosthesis through elaborate dimensional measurement, which can be a mode to serve lower-limb prosthesis to remote areas.

Objective To summarize extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) in percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) for acute myocardial infarction (AMI) with cardiac arrest,and to evaluate the clinical efficacy comparing with literature review.Methods 5 patients of AMI with cardiac arrest who proved invalid to conventional cardio-pulmonaryresuscitation (CPR),were successfully resuscitated with ECMO support,and underwent emergency PCI with stable hemodynamic status.Results In support of ECMO,4 patients were successfully resuscitated with stable hemodynamic status,and underwent primary PCI.The duration of ECMO support ranged from 42 to 220 h (average 126.6 h).3 patients discharged with full recovery,one patient didn't wean from ECMO successfully,and one died of respiratory failure.Conclusion Although mortality of AMI with cardiac arrest is high,early ECMO-assisted cardiopulmonary resuscitation and secondary PCI treatment increase the possibility of cardiac recovery,and provide conditions for emergency revascularization treatment.This reduces mortality in critical patients with AMI,and is an effective short term life support method.

Objective To investigate effect and mechanism of Xuebijing administration at various concentrations on ischemia reperfusion injury (IRI) of rabbit limbs.Methods Thirty New Zealand rabbits were divided into control group (n =10),Xuebijing group Ⅰ (n =10) and Xuebijing group Ⅱ(n =10) according to random number table.Rabbit models of IRI in lower extremities were established.Each group received corresponding therapy after reperfusion:rabbits in Xuebijing group Ⅰ were firstly administered 4 ml/kg Xuebijing solution and 6 ml/kg isotonic saline; rabbits in Xuebijing group Ⅱ were administered 2 ml/kg Xuebijing solution and 8 ml/kg isotonic saline; rabbits in control group were simply administered 10 ml/kg isotonic saline.Venous blood samples were collected before reperfusion and at 1 h,2 h,4 h after reperfusion to measure coagulation parameters (APTT,Fib,INR and PT) and biochemical items (ALB,LDH and CK).Results APTT in Xuebijing group Ⅰ presented obvious improvement at 1 h and 4 h after reperfusion as compared with control group (P < 0.01).PT in Xuebijing groups Ⅰ and lⅡ was significantly longer after reperfusion than that before reperfusion (P <0.05).Fib level in Xuebijing group Ⅰ was much higher at 4 h after reperfusion than that before reperfusion (P < 0.05).ALB level at 1 hour after reperfusion showed no statistical differences from that before reperfusion in Xuebijing groups Ⅰ and Ⅱ (P > 0.05).LDH and CK levels in Xuebijing group Ⅰ were much lower than those in control group after reperfusion (P < 0.05).Conclusions Xuebijing injection relieves limb IRI,with better effect in Xuebijing group Ⅰ than in Xuebijing group Ⅱ.Therapeutic mechanism may be associated with its involvement in adjusting clotting function and mitigating injury of muscle tissues.
