Objective Previous study found that ifbroblast growth factor-2(FGF2) expression was at a low level in bone marrow of children with aplastic anemia. In this study, we established a bone marrow failure animal model to investigate whether FGF2 is involved in bone marrow failure. Methods BALB/c mice were irradiated by 5.0 Gy ray, and then infused with 1×106 lymphocytes from allogeneic mice lymph node. Peripheral blood cells and bone marrow mononuclear cells counting and bone marrow pathology were done. FGF2 protein in bone marrow mononuclear cells was measured by ELISA. Results Compared with the control group, the counting of hemoglobin, white blood cell, platelet and bone marrow mononuclear cell in aplastic anemia mouse model were signiifcantly deceased (P<0.05). Moreover, FGF2 expression in aplastic anemia mouse model were signiifcantly reduced (P<0.05). Conclusions 5.0 Gy ray irradiation and then 1×106 lymphocyte infusion in mice can induce bone marrow failure similar to the features of aplastic anemia. The low expression of FGF2 in bone marrow of aplastic anemia patients may play an important role in the pathogenesis of aplastic anemia.

BACKGROUND:The blood supply is essential for the repair of the meniscus after the suture of it in the injured knee joint. According to the condition of blood supply, the meniscus was divided into three zones by Arnoczk in 1982. The absolute vascularization zone, in which the distance to the combination part of meniscus and synovial membrane is inferior to 3mm, is called the red zone. The absolute devascularization zone, in which the above-mentioned distance is superior to 5 mm, is called the white zone.And the relative vascularization zone with the distance between 3 mm to 5mm is called red-white zone.OBJECTIVE: To observe and discuss the anatomical features of the blood supplyof the meniscus.DESIGN:Single sample observation.SETTING:Department of Orthopaedics, Huaxi Hospital of Sichuan University.PARTICIPANTS: The study was conducted in Huaxi Hospital of Sichuan University during the period from September 2000 to March 2001.Nineteen cases were collected, including 19 knees (38 menisci) from the subjects, 17 male and 2 female, whose age varied from 21 to 43 years old.All the samples were obtained in the amputation operation, the isolated limbs were without the change of re-transplantation and the voluntary donations from the non-minorities living in Sichuan.meniscus samples: 7 knees (14 menisci) were taken. After the femoral artery intubation and infusion of the heparinized normal saline, the vascular bed had no blood and then was infused with the normal saline and ink of 0.5 volume fraction and the infusion pressure was 13 kPa. The infused meniscus samples underwent the dehydration of gradient ethanol,the transparency of dimethylbenzene, and preservation with ilex pedunculosa, and then the blood supply of the menisci was observed and distribution of the meniscus section: 6 knees (12 menisci) with fresh and uninfused menisci were taken. The sections obtained at the sagittal plane,the coronal plane and the horizontal plane underwent hematoxylin-eosin staining. Then the tissues structure and blood supply of the meniscus samples were observed with light microscope. Another 6 knees (12meniscus) underwent the specific CD34 antibody immunohistochemical staining. Then the tissue structure and blood supply distribution of the meniscus samples were observed with the light microscope.in the devascularization zone of the meniscus.RESULTS: Nineteen cases with 38 menisci all went into the final result resourced from the medial and lateral genicular arteries and the middle genicular artery. The small vessels from them form the peripheral capillary vessel plexus and annular vessel meshwork in the synovium and joint capsule and then go into the menisci for the nutrition of the lateral The apparent lunar artery is sent by the vessel plexus around the meniscus into the body of the meniscus and arranges in the inferior,middle and superior layers and dominates 25%-30% of the zone around The vessels of the angular part of the semilunar plate cover the whole meniscus. The nutrition is supplied by the membranous synovium on the surface of the meniscus.Rich blood supply was observed in the anterior and posterior angular laminated blood supply in the body of the meniscus was newly devascularization zone of the meniscus is supplied from the joint synovial fluid is explicit.

Theoretical study and experimental test of a new ion trap mass analyzer-ladder electrode linear ion trap (LeLIT) were reported. The LeLIT was composed of two pairs of ladder electrodes and one pair of end-electrodes. By optimizing the geometric structure of ladder electrodes, we optimized the electric field distribution for optimum mass analysis. Since the distribution of electric field can be controlled by the adjustment of LeLIT structure, LeLIT have better performance than rectilinear ion trap theoretically. Due to its simpler structure than hyperbolic electrode LIT, LeLIT can be easily built. In this work, the height, width and field ratio were adjusted for optimizing the property of LeLIT, and a mass resolution of 10150 was obtained when the mass scan speed was 225 Da / s for a LeLIT with X0 ×Y0 = 9 mm×5 mm dimension. The preliminary experimental result showed that the LeLIT has proper tandem mass spectrometric performance as any conventional ion trap mass analyzer.

Objective To construct a colon cancer chemotherapy-resistant cell line COLO,and study its characteristics and its relationship with tumor stem cells.Methods We constructed two 5-fluorouraci (5-FU)-resistant colon cancer cell line COLO/5-FU-1 and COLO/5-FU-2, which were resistant to 0.1 0 μmol/ml and 0.20 μmol/ml 5-FU respectively through gradiently increased drug concentration.The cha-racteristics of 5-FU-resistant cell lines were compared with parental colon cancer cell line COLO related to proli-feration,colony forming ability,migration and invasion,sphere forming ability,expression of stemness genes and cross drug-resistance.Results In the cell viability assay,4 days after regular training,the absorbancy of colon cancer 5-FU-resistant cell lines COLO/5-FU-2,COLO/5-FU-1 and parental colon cancer cell line COLO were 0.61 ±0.1 3,0.54 ±0.07 and 0.41 ±0.09 respectively,with significant difference (F =63.43,P =0.033).With the increased concentration of 5-FU,5-FU-resistant cell lines presented increasing clonality. The cloning efficiency of COLO/5-FU-2,COLO/5-FU-1 and parental colon cancer cell line COLO were (87.6 ±1 2.7)%,(65.3 ±9.7)% and (38.5 ±7.6)% respectively,with significant difference (F =33.64, P =0.01 7).In each high power field of vision,the cell numbers of migration through the basement membrane of COLO/5-FU-2,COLO/5-FU-1 and parental colon cancer cell line COLO were 482 ±39,434 ±45 and 373 ±38 respectively;and the cell numbers of invasion through the basement membrane were 1 74 ±42,1 1 2 ± 31 and 87 ±29 respectively,with significant differences (F =1 09.61 ,P =0.009;F =67.31 ,P =0.032). Compared with parental colon cancer cell line COLO,5-FU-resistant cell lines had higher expression of stem-ness genes (F =47.31 ,P =0.042).5-FU-resistant cell lines were cross-resistant to other chemotherapeutic drugs such as mitoxantrone.For example,after incubation for 96 hours,inhibition rate of mitoxantrone to parent colon cancer cell line COLO was higher significantly than COLO/5-FU-1 and COLO/5-FU-2 (0.749 ± 0.042,0.423 ±0.024,0.342 ±0.01 8),with significant difference (F =1 2.61 ,P =0.028).The micro-sphere forming rates of COLO/5-FU-2,COLO/5-FU-1 and parental colon cancer cell line COLO were (8.90 ± 0.97)%,(6.20 ±0.75)% and (3.90 ±0.32)% respectively,with significant difference (F =1 64.32,P =0.006).Conclusion Colon cancer drug-resistant cell line COLO possess tumor stem cell-like characteristics, which are enriched in cancer stem cells.

Objective: To observe the incidence of intensive care unit-acquired weakness (ICU-AW) of mechanically ventilated patients, and to identify the relevant risk factors. Methods: A prospective cohort study was conducted. The patients admitted to intensive care unit (ICU) of Fuxing Hospital, Capital Medical University, aged 18 years old or older, with the duration of mechanical ventilation ≥ 24 hours and expected to stay in ICU for ≥ 7 days from May 2015 to January 2016 were enrolled. From the 7th day after ICU admission, the patients were evaluated for consciousness every day. If the patient was awake and could cooperate with muscle strength measurement, the day was recorded as T1, and the patient's muscle strength was measured using the Medical Research Council scale (MRC) and recorded, then all patients were divided into two groups according to MRC score, ICU-AW group (MRC score < 48) and non-ICU-AW group (MRC score ≥ 48). The death, transfer or the 28th day of ICU admission were regarded as the end of observation. The data from the first day of ICU admission to T1 (before T1), including metabolic factors (the lowest value of blood sodium, blood potassium, blood calcium, albumin, and the highest value of blood glucose), mechanical ventilation factors (mode and duration of mechanical ventilation), organ dysfunction factors [occurrence and duration of sepsis, multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS)], and drug factors (whether the patients used aminoglycoside, sedative, muscle relaxant or glucocorticoids, etc., the time of these drugs usage and the cumulative dose) of the patients were observed, recorded and analyzed, as well as the data from T1 to the end of the observation period, including the duration of mechanical ventilation, incidence of ventilator associated pneumonia (VAP), 28-day mortality, the length of ICU stay, and the cost of ICU and hospitalization. The relevant factors with statistical significance in univariate analysis were enrolled in multivariate analysis, and Logistic regression equation was established to screen the independent risk factors that might lead to ICU-AW. Results: 486 patients with mechanical ventilation were enrolled in this study, and 37 patients were enrolled according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, including 15 patients with ICU-AW (with ICU-AW incidence of 40.5%) and 22 patients without ICU-AW. In the univariate analysis, ICU-AW group patients showed statistical differences in following factors as compared with the non-ICU-AW group: age, and the duration of invasive ventilation and the total duration of mechanical ventilation, braking time, sepsis, MODS and duration of them, the usage days and dosage of sedative and glucocorticoid before T1. The total duration of mechanical ventilation from T1 to the end of the observation period, total duration of mechanical ventilation during the observation period, and length of ICU stay of the ICU-AW group were significantly longer than those of the non-ICU-AW group [hours: 190 (110, 274) vs. 4 (0, 57), hours: 337 (237, 477) vs. 78 (43, 170), days: 20±7 vs. 14±7, all P < 0.05], the incidence of VAP, 28-day mortality and total hospitalization expenses were significantly higher than those of the non-ICU-AW group [26.7% (4/15) vs. 0% (0/22), 53.3% (8/15) vs. 9.1% (2/22), 10 thousands Yuan: 18.7±7.7 vs. 12.1±10.8, all P < 0.05]. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that the total duration of mechanical ventilation between the patient awake and ICU admission [odds ratio (OR) = 1.03, 95% confidence interval (95%CI) was 1.01-1.05, P = 0.011] and the duration of MODS (OR = 1.79, 95%CI was 1.17-2.72, P = 0.007) were the independent risk factors for ICU-AW in mechanically ventilated patients. Conclusions ICU-AW is quite common in patients with mechanical ventilation and has a higher incidence. The risk factors associated with ICU-AW were the total duration of mechanical ventilation and duration of MODS.
