4 female Wistar rats,weighing 287.5?21.7 gms,about 7~7.5 months old,were used.Using ~3H-TdR and ~(14)C-TdR as labels, double labelling method was employed. The dose of ~3H-TdR used was 1 ?Ci/gm body weight and that of ~(14)C-TdR used was 0.125 ?Ci/gm body weight. Bone marrow smears of both femurs were made and autoradiographs were coated with No. 4 liquid nuclear emulsion.The following results were obtained:In erythropoietic series: Nc/N_H=5.0?1.0, LI=62.3?17.9%, MI=3.4?1.9%. According to the above figures, by calculation, we obtained the cell cycle time and the duration of 4 phases as follows: TG_1≤4.3 hrs,Ts=5.0 hrs, TG_2≥1.0 hr, Tm=0.4 hr and Tc=10.7 hrs.In neutrophilic granulopoietic series: Nc/N_H=3.9?0.9, LI=45.3?5.3%, MI=3.3?1.4%. According to the above figures, the following parameters of the cycle. were obtained as follows: TG_1≤5.6 hrs, Ts=3.9 hrs, TG_2≥1.0 hr, Tm=0.4 hr and Tc=10.9 hrs.There was no obvious difference of Tc between the erythropoietic series, and theneutrophilic granulopoietic series in rats, but significant difference of Tc between them in mice.

Aim To study effects of loganin and morro-niside on aging astrocytes induced by D-galactose. Methods Cortex astrocytes of newly born rats were cultured in vivo and indentified by immunofluorescence method.Firstly,appropriate D-galactose concentration was selected and effects of loganin and morroniside on proliferation activity of aging astrocytes induced by D-galactose were determined by MTT test.Then SOD, MDA were taken as indicators to study the effects of loganin and morroniside on aging astrocytes induced by D-galactose.Thirdly,growth factors like gliar cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF),basic fibro-blast growth factor (bFGF)tested by ELISA method and expression of Bax,caspase-3,phospho-extracellu-lar signal-regulated kinese (p-ERK1 /2),phospho-mi-togen-actived protein kinase /extracellular signal-regu-lated kinase kinase (p-MEK1 /2)were taken as indi-cators to discuss the potential protection mechanism. Results Loganin and morroniside exerted certain effects on proliferation of aging astrocytes induced by D-galactose,improving SOD,GDNF,bFGF release and lowering MDA release significantly (P <0.05 ). The expressions of Bax and caspase-3 proteins had no difference between model group and loganin group, morroniside group.While the expressions of p-ERK1 /2,p-MEK1 /2 of loganin group,morroniside group were improved significantly compared with model group.Conclusion Loganin and morroniside have protective effects on aging astrocytes induced by D-ga-lactose,and increase the proliferation ability.Protec-ting their antioxidant systems and improving the expres-sion of p-ERK1 /2,p-MEK1 /2 proteins are possible mechanisms.

Objective To explore the mental health and personality traits of the parents of cerebral palsy children. Methods 128 parents of cerebral palsy children and other 128 parents of healthy children were investigated with the Symptom Check List-90 (SCL-90), Eysenck Personality Questionnaire (EPQ). Results The scores of SCL-90 were more in the parents of cerebral palsy children, especially in the factors of somatization, obsession, depression, anxiety, and paranoid (P<0.01). The personality traits characterized as introversion (P<0.05) and neuroticism (P<0.01). The multiple regression showed that some factors of SCL-90 were related with the personality of neuroticism. Conclusion The mental health of the parents of children with cerebral palsy are poor, which may be related with the personality of neuroticism.

Aim To examine the inhibitory effect of re-combinant cardiac troponin fusion protein composed of subunit I and artificial peptide which was called CIS on tumor growth. Methods The CIS ’ s effect on the growth of human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HU-VEC) was examined using MTT assay in vitro. Chick chorioallantoic membrane model was applied to study the alteration of angiogenesis treated with purified re-combinant CIS protein. The effect of tumor growth trea-ted with CIS was observed using several in vivo mice xenograft models. Results There was a statistically significant reduction in HUVEC cell proliferative rate when the cells were treated with purified CIS fusion protein, which was also shown in a dose-dependent manner. A decreased amount of new blood vessel for-mation ( angiogenesis) on chick embryo chorioallantoic membranes was observed in recombinant CIS protein treated group compared to the untreated control group. A significant inhibition of tumor growth rate was a-chieved in CIS treated mice compared to CIS untreated control mice in 6 different mouse xenograft models. Conclusions The fusion protein CIS shows the inhibi-tory effect on the tumor growth in our in vivo mouse models, and such inhibition could be mediated by the mechanism of CIS’ s effect on the decrease of HUVEC cell proliferation and further the reduction of angiogen-esis in tumor tissues. This work could provide the foundation for the in-depth investigations on the phar-maceutical application of CIS targeting anti-tumor ther-apy.
