Objective To measure the expressions of HSP10 and 60 in cutaneous squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), basal cell carcinoma (BCC) and solar keratosis (AK) tissue. Methods Lesion samples were resected from patients with SCC (n = 50), BCC (n = 50) and AK (n = 50), and control samples were obtained from the normal skin adjacent to the operation sites of 14 of the 50 patients with SCC, BCC and AK. Immunohistochemical Envision two step method was used to detect the expression of HSP60 and 10 in the tissue samples.Results The expression of HSP10 was significantly higher in BCC tissue samples (Z = 3.24, P ＜ 0.001 ), but not in AK (Z= 0.74, P＞ 0.05) or SCC (Z= 0.52, P＞ 0.05) tissue samples than in the normal control tissue samples. Statistical significance was observed in the expression of HSP10 between AK and SCC and between AK and BCC tissue samples (both P ＜ 0.05), but not between SCC and BCC tissue samples (P ＞ 0.05 ). Elevated expression of HSP60 was found in AK, BCC and SCC tissue samples compared with the control samples (Z =-2.90, -2.15, -2.78,P ＜ 0.01, 0.05 and 0.01, respectively). Furthermore, the expression of HSP60 in SCC tissue samples was higher than that in BCC tissue samples (P ＜ 0.05 ) but similar to that in AK tissue samples. Conclusions There is likely to be a correlation between the high expression of HSP60 and biological behavior of SCC, and between the elevated HSP60 and HSP10 expressions and BCC initiation and development.

BACKGROUND: Previous studies have proved platelet-rich fibrin (PRF) with osteoinduction ability, and the centrifugal speed and time to prepare rabbit advanced PRF (A-PRF) with the most similar structure to that of human PRF have been determined.OBJECTIVE: To observe the histological changes during A-PRF-induced osteogenesis.METHODS: Thirty Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into A-PRF and blank control groups (n=15 per group).The full-thickness defect models were established on the rabbit parietal bone, followed by implanted with A-PRF or nothing, respectively. The model rabbits were killed immediately, at 2, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after modeling, to grossly observe the bone formation, and the histological changes in the defect region were observed through hematoxylin-eosin staining, Masson staining and immunohistochemistry.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Unhealed defects were observed in the blank control group. Gross and histological observations showed that the speed, amount and maturity of bone formation in the A-PRF group were significantly better than those in the blank control group immediately, 4, 8 and 12 weeks after modeling (P < 0.05). Our findings suggest that the rabbit skull bone defect is successfully established. A-PRF can induce osteogenesis, and more mature newly born bones appear with time. Additionally, osteoclasts can act with osteoblasts synergically under the A-PRF induction to promote the bone formation.

Aim To investigate the gender differences in electrophysiology and neuroanatomy of myelinated and unmyelinated visceral and baroreceptor afferent neurons(VANs and ABNs) of adult rats.Methods VANs and ABNs were isolated enzymatically and Vagus-nodose slice preparation was also applied in this study.For identification of ABNs,aortic depressor nerve(ADN) was labeled using fluorescent dye.Whole-cell patch technique was used to record action potential(AP).Electronic microscopy was selected for morphological analysis of ADN.Results(1) A-and C-type VANs were identified and significant differences of AP discharge profiles between female and male were not established;(2) except for the traditionally classified A-and C-types,myelinated Ah-type VGNs were also identified with faster conduction velocity,lower firing threshold,and higher neuronal excitability.Importantly,these Ah-types were found in female rats with a similar frequency like A-types but rarely seen in males.(3) Ah-type ABNs were also identified by fluorescence.(4) Morphological data showed that myelinated fiber in ADN was ~25% of total and this result was consistent with our electrophysiological data.(5) Firing frequency of Ah-types(20~40 Hz) was lowered than that of A-types(40~150 Hz,P

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of mouth gag which can inserted into lavage tube during gastric lavage. Methods The Sixty- six cases of acute poisoning patients with gastric lavage according to random number table method were randomly divided into two groups, 33 cases in each group. Observation group used the inserted mouth gag, and the control group used the metal ones. Results The observation group were lower than the control group at the time required to insert the lavage tube [(2.23±0.19)s to (3.26±0.30)s] and the incidence of complication rate [18.2%(6/33) to 45.5%(15/33)], the oral cavity bleeding [6.0%(2/33) to 30.3%(10/33)], lavage tube displacement [0(0/33)to 24.2%(8/33)], lavage tube twisting[0(0/33) to 24.2%(8/33)], the difference was statistically significant (P<0.01), while higher in the rate of successful intubation[100.0%(33/33)] to [54.5%(18/33)], the difference was statistically significant, χ2=19.4,P<0.01. Conclusions The application of the mouth gag which can insert into gastric lavage improved the successful intubation rate, saved the rescue time, reduced the complication and improved the nursing quality.

AIM AND METHODS: To explore the effects calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) and endothelin-1(ET-1) on the mechanisms of hypoxic pulmonary hypertension (HPH),the contents of CGRP and ET-1 in plasma of pulmonary artery and thoracic aorta and in extractives of lung and ventricular tissues of the chronic hypoxic rats were determined by radioimmunoassay. The changes of their hemodynamic indices and right heart hypertrophy index were monitored simultaneously. RESULTS: The level of pulmonary artery plasma CGRP was significantly higher than that of thoracic aorta plasma,but just the reverse was ET-1 or the ratio of ET-1 and CGRP in control rats( P

Objective To evaluate the effects of modified method of fixation and withdrawal of needles in intravenous infusion.Methods The modified method of two-step fixation and withdrawal of needles was adopted in emergency transfusion room of our hospital from September 2013.In January 2015,during every day's low peak period 12:00-14:00,246 emergency transfusion patients were chosen and divided into the traditional group (122 cases,using three-step fixation and withdrawal of needles) and the modified group (124 cases,using two-step fixation and withdrawal of needles) according to transfusion order.The pain degree caused by withdrawal of needles using Numeric Rating Scale (NRS),time consumption of fixation and withdrawal of needles and rate of adhesive pastes abscission was assessed by nurses and compared between two groups.Results The incidence of pain in the modified group was lower than that of the traditional group [48.39％ (60/124) vs.81.97％ (100/122)],x2=30.49,P＜0.05.The time consumption of fixation and withdrawal of needles in the modified group was shorter than that of the control group [(7.55 ±2.01) seconds vs.(10.88 ±2.72) seconds;(2.44 ±0.84) seconds vs.(11.55 ± 4.62) seconds],Z=8.70,13.55,P＜0.05.Therate of adhesive pastes abscission in the modified group was lower than that of the control group [4.0％(5/124) vs.18.9％ (23/122)],x2 =13.39,P＜0.05.All the difference between two groups was statistically significant.Conclusions The modified method of fixation and withdrawal of needles can relieve the pain caused by withdrawal of needles.Nurses can operate easily,adhesive pastes is fixed sturdily,which is popular among nurses and patients.

BACKGROUND:In previous experiments, we have confirmed that platelet rich fibrin has the ability of osteoinduction, and have conducted a preliminary study on its microstructure and biomechanics. However, little is reported on its histology research.
OBJECTIVE:To compare the histological changes after implanting platelet-rich fibrin, Bio-Oss and autologous bone and to analyze the pros and cons of platelet-rich fibrin implantation for repair of bone defects.
METHODS: As previously reported, animal models of critical bone defects were established respectively on the bilateral femoral condyles of 12 beagle dogs. Then, platelet-rich fibrin, Bio-Oss+colagen membrane (Bio-Oss group) and autologous bone (autologous bone group)+colagen membrane were respectively implanted. At 3, 6, 8 and 12 months, one experimental dog from each group was kiled, respectively, and histological observation was performed. Another beagle dog as blank control was enroled to establish the animal model of critical bone defects, with no implantation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 3, 6, 8 and 12 months after implantation, there were significant differences in the new bone formation speed and amount between the platelet-rich fibrin group, Bio-Oss group and autologous bone group. These three kinds of bone grafts al had osteoinductive ability to different extents. In the platelet-rich fibrin group, the osteogenic effects were better at 3 and 6 months, and the new bone was similar to natural one; in the autologuos bone group, bone necrosis was noticeable at 3 and 6 months, but the osteogenic effects became better at 8 months, and the new bone was similar to natural one at 12 months; in the Bio-oss group, the osteogenic effects were similar to those in the platelet-rich fibrin group, but the residual of Bio-oss was visible at 12 months; in the blank control group, no bone formed at 3 months, indicating the animal model of critical bone defects was made successfuly. In brief, the platelet-rich fibrin has good osteoinductive ability, with shorter time and better quality.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the histomorphology and the expressions of the proliferation marker Ki-67 and estrogen receptor in the uterus of mice with autoimmune premature ovarian failure (POF) induced by zona pellucida 3 peptide (pZP3).

METHODSAutoimmune POP models were established in 20 female BALB/c mice (7-8 weeks old) by immunization with pZP3 and another 20 mice served as the control group. The POP models were verified by vaginal cytology, serum sex hormones, ovary histomorphology and ZP3 antibody immunohistochemistry. The histomorphology and expressions of Ki-67, estrogen receptor α and estrogen receptor β in the uterus of the mice were detected.

RESULTSAutoimmune POP models were established successfully in 80% of the mice at 8 weeks after the immunization. Compared with those in the control group, the mice in the model group showed a smaller volume of the uterus, thinner endometrium and a reduced number of glands. The luminal epithelial cells, glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells in the uterus of the model mice all presented with a lower expression of Ki-67 than those in the control group, and Ki-67 translocation from the nuclei to the cytoplasm was found in the model group. The luminal epithelial cells, glandular epithelial cells and stromal cells showed positive ERα immunoreactivity in the model group but not in the control group. No obvious ERβ expression was found in the uterus in either of the groups.

CONCLUSIONpZP3 can induce autoimmune POP, cause suppressed proliferation of the endometrial epithelial cells and stromal cells, and reduce the cellular expression of ERα in the uterus of mice.
