0.05). Conclusion The difference of cross sectional area in nasal cavity resulted from nasal septum deviation. Compensatory hypertrophy of inferior turbinate, uncinate process and middle turbinate in wide side resulted in the similar proportion of nasal airway of two sides of nasal cavity. However, compensatory hypertrophy lead to obstruction and stricture, accordingly, the probability of unilateral inflammatory maxillary sinus diseases in wide side of nasal cavity was higher than that in narrow side. In clinical practice, the deviated nasal septum should be corrected at the time of dealing with inflammatory maxillary sinus diseases. The normal structure and function of nasal cavity were recovered. The decompensation due to septum deviation was blocked.

0.05),but existed between grades Ⅰ-Ⅲ and grade Ⅳ(P0.05).Conclusion PIAS3 is expressed in human gliomas,closely correlated with the pathological grade and malignant intensity.PIAS3 may be involved in the development and progression of gliomas.

Objective To evaluate the effects of 0.3 kb human alpha-fetoprotein (AFP) promotor on the expression of enhanced green fluorescent protein (EGFP) in human hepatoma cells. Methods By constructing the primer with special enzyme site, human AFP promoter was selectively amplified from human gene bank and eukaryon-expressed pAF-EGFP and pAF-DTA with AFP promotor and EGFP and with AFP promotor and DTA, respectively. pAF-EGFP was transfected into HepG2, SMMC-7721, and NIH3T3. The fluorescence was detected in order to evaluate the transfection rate. Results The expression of EGFP in HepG2 cells transfected with pAF-EGFP was significantly higher than that in SMMC-7721 and NIH3T3 cells (P

Ovbective To study the protective effects of 17?-estradiol on isolated ischemic rat hearts in a modified Langendorff model. Methods Thirty rats performed bilateral ovariectomies were divided equally into three groups at random. A three-phase protocol was performed: (1) 15-minutes preperfusion,(2) 30-minutes global ischemia,(3) 30-minutes reperfusion. Treatment with 0.1% DMSO (group D) and 5 ?mol/L 17?-estradiol+0.1% DMSO (group E) dissolved in K-H buffer was perfused from sixth minutes of reperfusion. Only K-H was perfused in the ischemia-reperfusion group (group I-R). The left ventricular pressure (LVP) and it's first derivative (?dp/dt max ) and coronary flow (CF) were recorded at the 15th minute of preperfusion and the 30th minute of reperfusion. Creatin phosphokinase (CPK) and lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) the coronary effluent,the content of malonaldehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity of myocardium were measured at the 30th minute of reperfusion. Results After 30-minute reperfusion,restoration of heart function of group E treated with 17?-estradiol were better than that of group I-R and group D,with a higher coronary flow,and a lower CPK and LDH level (P

After electrical stimulation of the phrenic nerve,the function of the diaphragm was assessed by measurement of the transdiaphragmatic pressure (PDi),establishment of the Pdi-sti-mulating frequency (F) curve,and analysis of the power spectrum on the diaphragmatic elec-tromyogram (EMGdi) at spontaneous breathing.Hypercapnia of the dogs was induced by forcing the animals to inhale a mixture of CO2 and air.The findings were as follows:(1) After acute hypercapnia,PDi rapidly and progressively decreased.The power spectrum of EMGdi was also reduced.The PDi-F curve was shifted to right.These findings suggest that the function of the diaphragm was severely damaged.(2) The decrease of pH value was the important cause of diaphragmatic fatigue.(3) The diaphragm in a static condition could reduce the damage of hypercapnia.(4) Cedi-lanid exerted certain effects on the prevention of diaphragmatic fatigue created by acute hypercapnia.

The study on the functions of the diaphragm has been carried on for 5 years.It consisted of the studies on the relationship of the tension and endurance of inspiratory muscles with pulmonary functions,the changes of diaphragmatic electromyogram in maximal ventilation volume test in normal subjects and patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease(COPD),the functional changes of the diaphragm in dogs with RDS and the therapeutic effects of aminophylline.the changes of diaphragmatic electromyogram in dogs with hypoxemia and hy-percapnia,determination of transdiaphragmatic pressure,the relationship of the stimulation frequency on the phrenic nerve with diaphragmtic fatigue,etc.It was found that there existed di-aphragmtic fatigue in dogs with RDS,in dogs with hypoxemia and hypercapnia,and in patients with COPD,and aminophylline,digoxin,salbutomal ?-receptor excitory agents can minimize or prevent diaphragmatic fatigue.

OBJECTIVE:To observe clinical efficacy and safety of linezolid,teicoplanin and vancomycin in the treatment of hospital-acquired pneumonia caused by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA). METHODS:120 patients diagnosed as hospital-acquired MRSA pneumonia were divided into linezolid group,teicoplanin group and vancomycin group according to therapeutic regimen,with 40 cases in each group. Linezolid group received Linezolid injection 600 mg,ivgtt,bid;teicoplanin group received Teicoplanin injection 0.4 g,ivgtt,bid;vancomycin group received Vancomycin injection 1 000 mg,bid,ivgtt. 3 groups received 2 weeks of treatment. Clinical efficacy and bacterial clearance effective rate of 3 groups were observed as well as serum levels of inflammatory factors before and after treatment. ADR of 3 groups were compared. RESULTS:The clinical effective rates of linezolid group,teicoplanin group and vancomycin group were 90.0%,72.5% and 67.5%;the effective bacterial clearance rates were 85.0%,60.0% and 57.5%,respectively. The clinical effective rate and the effective bacterial clearance rate in linezolid group were significantly higher than those in teicoplanin group and vancomycin group,with statistical significance (P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in above indexes between teicoplanin group and vancomycin group (P>0.05). There was no statistical significance serum inflammatory factors among 3 groups before treatment (P>0.05). CRP and PCT of 3 groups de-creased significantly after treatment,and those of linezolid group were lower than teicoplanin group and vancomycin group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in serum inflammatory factors between teicoplanin group and vancomycin group before and after treatment (P>0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR among 3 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:For hospital-acquired MRSA pneumonia,linezolid is better than teicoplanin and vancomycin in pneumonia control with good safety.

Background and purpose:The reason for hepatitis B virus (HBV) with hepatocyte specificity is PreS1 enchased on the hepatitis B virus envelope (HBVE). So HBVE may have a potential application in liver targeting gene transfer. In this study, we investigated whether HBVE has the ability to target liver cancer cells. Methods:HBVE was obtained from the supernatant of Hep G 2.2.15 cells through PEG8000 system and ?-propiolactone method. The pIRS2-EGFP was packed with HBVE and resulted in the product HBVE-GFP. HBVE-GFP was transfected into HepG2, A549, HeLa and FB cells. The green fluorescent protein (GFP) expression was observed under a fluorescent microscope. The rate of GFP positive cells was determined by flow cytometer.Results:The GFP could be observed in the four groups, but the HepG2 group had a higher fluorescent intensity than the other 3 groups. The transfected rate of HepG2 group was (71.35?0.03)% , much higher than other groups(P

Objective To construct an expression vector containing Ewing's sarcoma EWS FLI 1 specific binding sequence and diphtheria toxin A chain (DTA) gene sequence to investigate the killing effect of DTA on cultured Ewing's sarcoma cells so as to provide proof for the exploration of new methods for gene therapy for cancer. Methods Expression vector (pS2 DTA) containing EWS FLI 1 specific binding sequence and DTA gene sequence was constructed by replacing the luciferase gene in pS2 with DTA gene at the points of Nco Ⅰ and Xba Ⅰ by molecular technique. After transfection of pS2 DTA into Ewing's sarcoma cells and the control cells, DTA expression and its killing effect on cells were detected. Results pS2 DTA was highly expressed in Ewing's sarcoma cell line, and the killing effect of DTA was much higher than that in the control cells. Conclusion pS2 DTA has selective killing effect on Ewing's sarcoma cells and can inhibit the growth of Ewing's sarcoma cells. So pS2-DTA has potential value in the treatment of Ewing's sarcoma.
