Objective:To observe the effect of liver cells and/or spleen cells injection induce islets transplantation resistance.Methods:New born male pigs and BALB/C mice were selected as donors and recipients respectively.The islets transplantation were performed in recipients just after tail vein injection with donor liver cells and/or spleen cells for 3 times.NK cells activity,antibodies forming function in vitro of B lymphocytes and T lymphocytes subsets measurement were used as immunological markers of transplantation resistance besides observation of the variation of blood glucose and xenograft living time(days).Results:The pre injection of donor liver cells,spleen cells or their mixture through mice tail vein was effective in preventing donor islets transplantation from rejection,which was demonstrated by the above immunological markers.And each kind of the transplantation could decrease the blood glucose of recipients and prolong the function possessed days of xenografts,especially for the more effective of mixture of donor liver cells and spleen cells as compared with the donor islets transplantation alone.Conclusion:Tail vein injection with donor liver cells and/or spleen cells could induce successfully islets transplantation resistance in mice.

To explore the biological effects of light on trabecular cells, cultured bovine trabecular cells were exposed to visible light of different wavelength with different energy. Cellular morphology, structure, proliferation, and phagocytosis were observed. The cells showed no remarkable changes when the energy was low. When the exposure energy reached 1.12 mW/cm2, the cytoplasm showed a rough appearance, and cell proliferation and phagocytosis decreased. This phototoxicity was strong with white light (compound chromatic light), moderate with violet light or yellow light, and mild with red light.

Background:Visceral hypersensitivity is considered to be one of the major pathophysiological mechanisms of irritable bowel syndrome. Aims:To investigate the expression of TRPV1 and electrophysiological characteristics of colon-specific dorsal root ganglion( DRG)neurons in rat model of visceral hypersensitivity. Methods:Twenty 10-day-old rats were randomly divided into two groups. In model group,visceral hypersensitivity was induced by colorectal administration of acetic acid;while in control group the same amount of saline was administered. Colon-specific DRG neurons were labeled retrogradely by injection of DiI,a fluorochrome,into the colon wall. Expression of TRPV1 in DRG neurons was detected by immunofluorescence and the electrophysiological characteristics of DRG neurons was detected by using patch-clamp technique. Results:In model group,the expression rate of TRPV1 in colon-specific DRG neurons was significantly higher than that in controls(46. 1% vs. 36. 6% ,P <0. 01),the average rheobase was significantly decreased[(57. 80 ±1. 32)pA vs.(73. 45 ± 4. 51)pA,P < 0. 05],while the frequency of action potentials(APs)in response to doubling rheobase stimulation was significantly increased[(8. 20 ± 1. 10)Hz vs. (4. 54 ± 0. 66)Hz,P < 0. 05]. Score of abdominal withdrawal reflex(AWR)under a 60 mm Hg colorectal distention was positively correlated with the expression rate of TRPV1 and the frequency of APs in response to doubling rheobase stimulation(r = 0. 87 and r = 0. 73,P < 0. 01),but was negatively correlated with the rheobase(r = - 0. 81,P < 0. 01)in model group. Conclusions:Increased expression of TRPV1 and excitability in colon-specific DRG neurons might be a crucial step in formation of visceral hypersensitivity.

Objective To investigate the clinical effects of biofeedback therapy on constipation-predominant irritable bowel syndrome(IBS-C).Methods 30 patients with IBS-C were given to biofeedback therapy,5 times every treatment course.and then their clinical symptoms,mental state and quality of life before the treatment and at the end of treatment with biofeedback therapy were respectively evaluated by symptom scores,self-rating anxiety scale (SAS),self-rating depression scale (SDS),and short form 36 health survey questionnaire (SF-36).Results Post-treatment with biofeedback therapy,there were very significant decrease in total and subscales scores of bowel symptom including abdominal pain/discomfort,abdominal distension,abnormal appearance of defecation,abnormal process of defecation((12.31±2.01) vs (19.16±2.17),(2.95±0.57) vs (5.04±1.04),(2.64±0.92) vs (4.25±1.09),(3.66±1.09) vs (5.10±0.57),(3.06±1.08) vs (4.77±0.95) respectively,P＜0.01).The integration of SAS and SDS were obviously decreased after treatment((39.53±6.39) vs (44.43±7.89),P＜0.05;(40.70±8.38) vs (46.46±8.74),P＜0.05),the SF-36 scores were also improved in five dimensions including rolephysical,social-functioning,vitality,role-emotional and mental health((74.16±21.25) vs (57.0±39.40),(86.21±13.54) vs (75.54±20.96),(75.16±13.42) vs (64.66±20.54),(78.87±28.36) vs (57.76±46.26),(81.60±16.08) vs (71.20±22.04) respectively,P＜0.05).Conclusion Biofeedback therapy can improve the clinical symptoms,alleviate the moods of anxiety and depression,and improve the quality of life in patients with IBS-C.

Objective:To understand the recognition status of cancer pain in basic medical staff from small towns to provide the basis for the improvement of cancer pain management in these areas. Methods:The medical staff of Hengjiang Town and subordinate villages was selected. The study area is situated in southwest China. Centralized questionnaires regarding cancer pain were collected and analyzed. A program and education of cancer pain were provided for these medical workers. Results: The medical staff from Hengjiang asserted that only 17%of cancer pain patients receive treatments. Approximately 70%of the medical staff did not consider the popularization and explanation of cancer pain treatment in their patients. Approximately 64%of the medical staff was not familiar with standardized cancer pain control, 87%did not believe that narcotics could suffice the need of patients, and 44%did not participate in the training for cancer pain control. Conclusion: The medical staff in Hengjiang possesses less knowledge on the importance of cancer pain. Hence, further training is necessary. The specific management of cancer pain as a part of community chronic diseases is mandatory.

Objective It aims to investigate the relationships among the categories of Comprehensive Version for Stroke as described in the International Classiifcation of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF) Core Set, and to provide new supports for Judicial Appraisal of functioning in stroke by ICF functioning mapping.Methods The variables of 59 categories of ICF assessment scale and the samples of 106 persons’ are selected and used in the least absolute shrinkage and selection operator (LASSO) for mining dependencies among those variables.

OBJECTIVETo detect the expression of cytokines by acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL) cells before and after exposure to arsenic trioxide.

METHODSDiagnoses were performed according to the FAB cytological classification criteria and cytogenetic criteria. Bone marrow or blood samples from APL patients were collected in heparinized tubes, then primary APL cells were separated by traditional Ficoll-Hypaque density centrifugation and purified after adherence to plastic surfaces. IL-1(beta), IL-6, IL-8, TNF alpha and G-CSF levels in the leukemia cell culture supernatants were detected by ELISA. At the same time, nitro blue tetrazolium (NBT) reduction test was used to detect the differentiation of APL cells.

RESULTSAfter 96 hours exposure to arsenic trioxide, 10 - 6 mol/L in vitro or 10 mg/d in vivo, APL cells showed a significant increase of IL-1(beta) (P < 0.05) and G-CSF (P < 0.05) production, and a significant decrease of IL-6 (P < 0.05) and IL-8 (P < 0.05). However, there was no obvious variation of TNF alpha when compared with APL cells without exposure to arsenic trioxide. On the other hand, the proliferation ratio of APL cells in vitro was statistically correlated to the IL-1(beta) secretion ratio or G-CSF secretion ratio. The cell number ratio in patients with detectable IL-1(beta) or G-CSF was higher than that without detectable IL-1(beta) or G-CSF.

CONCLUSIONIL-1(beta) and G-CSF secretion may play an important role in the proliferation of APL cells after exposure to arsenic trioxide.
