Objective To study the effect of CO 2 pneumoperitoneum and enteric disturbance on serum ?-endorphin (?-EP) in SD rats, in order to investigate their influence on peri-operative stress responses in SD rats. Methods A total of 120 SPF-grade male SD rats were randomly divided into four groups with 30 rats in each group. The four groups received CO 2 pneumoperitoneum (Group A), a 5 cm abdominal incision (Group B), a 5 cm abdominal incision with gastroenteric disturbance (Group C), and intraperitoneal anesthesia (Group D or Control Group), respectively. Concentrations of serum ?-EP of these groups were measured 10 min, 20 min, and 40 min after the beginning of surgery, respectively. Results Concentrations of serum ?-EP in the Group A 10 min, 20 min, and 40 min after the beginning of surgery were 274 7?66 6 pg/dl, 157 3?63 8 pg/dl, and 163 9?74 5 pg/dl, respectively, which were all extremely significantly higher than those in the Control Group ( P

Objective To analyse and conclude the MRI features of intracranial germ cell tumours so that to improve the diagnosis of this disease.Methods 15 cases of germ cell tumours verified by operation and pathology were reviewed and analyzed. All cases were undergone plain and contrast-enhanced MRI,the fat restrained sequence was performed if necessary. Results The location of tumors,six were in pineal region, six were in sellar region (germinoma, teratoma and choriocarcinoma in pineal and sellar region were all separately 3, 2 and 1), two were in basal ganglia (germinoma), and one was in right lateral ventricle (teratoma).Conclusion MRI is very valuable in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of intracranial germ cell tumours.

The heptadecatungstodiphosphate substituted by L a(Ⅲ) with the formula　α2-K7P2W17O61(La.OH2 ) (P2W 17La) was prepared by vacant refilling method. The anion of single substitu ted Dawson-type tungstophosphate salt was doped into the polypyrrole (PPY) film on a glassy carbon electrode (GC) by electrochemical method to prepare the chem ically modified electrode (P2W17La/PPY/GC). It maintains not only t he electrochemical activity and electrocatalytic property of P2W17L a, but also has good stability and sensitivity. In 0.50 mol/L HCl solution, th e first cathodic peak of P2W17La doping in polypyrrole film can cat alyze well the electroreduction of nitrite. The catalytic current was proporti onal to the concentration of nitrite between 6.0×10-5 and 1.0×10-2 　mol/L.

Objective To observe the effects of the Dachaihu decoction on intra-abdominal pressure in severe acute pancreatitis. Methods 70 patients with SAP from China-Japan Friendship Hospital were randomly divided into two groups. 35 patients in a conventional treatment group were treated with conventional treatment of severe acute pancreatitis, and 35 patients in a Dachaihu decoction treatment group were treated with the decoction through nasogastric tube based on conventional treatment. The changes of intra-abdominal pressure and the morbidity of IAH and ACS in both groups were observed in acute stage. Results The intra-abdominal pressure in both groups increased. But the pressure in the Dachaihu decoction treatment group (13.31 ± 4.42 mmHg, 13.02 ± 5.23 mmHg, 12.35 ± 3.34 mmHg, 11.26 ± 4.46 mmHg, 9.89 ± 3.44 mmHg) was lower than the conventional treatment group (16.89 ± 5.71 mmHg, 17.52 ± 3.37 mmHg, 16.21 ± 2.15 mmHg, 14.57 ± 5.56 mmHg, 12.11 ± 1.28 mmHg) from the third day on (P<0.05). And the morbidity of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome in the Dachaihu decoction treatment group were lower than the conventional treatment group in the whole acut stage (40%vs. 8.75%).The differences between two groups were statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion The Dachaihu decoction may significantly reduce the intra-abdominal pressure and the morbidity of intra-abdominal hypertension and abdominal compartment syndrome among patients with severe acute pancreatitis.

Objective To analyze the characteristic findings of chest high-resolution CT (HRCT) in the patients with syetemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).Methods A retrospective analysis of HRCT manifestations was performed in 17 patients with clinically proven SLE.Results The HRCT finding included thickened interiobular septa(n=9), “irregular interface” sign(n=7), subpleural bands(n=7), increase lung attenuation(n=7), bronchiectasis(n=3), “honeycomb” sign(n=4), pulmonary emphysema(n=6), SLE pneumonia(n=4), nodular parenchymal opacities(n=4), patchy airspace consolidation(n=4), pleuritis(n=13), pericarditis(n=3) and mediastinal or axillary lymphadenopathy(n=8).Conclusion The correct identifying of the HRCT manifestations plays an important role in the early diagnosis and treament of pulmonary involvement due to SLE.

Objective To investigate the relationship between in vivo anti-tumor efficacy of Shenqi injection and its effect on immunologic function in H22 tumor-bearing model mice,and explore the cellular immunologic mechanism of Shenqi injection in inhibiting tumor growth.Methods Three different doses of Shenqi injection were given to H22 tumor-bearing model mice in treatment groups.The tumor growth inhibitory rate(IR) and the index of phagocytosis of peritoneal macrophage were calculated.MTT assay was used to observe the effect of Shenqi injection on spleen lymphocytes stimulated by ConA in vitro separated from H22 tumor-bearing mice.Murine serum IL-2 and IFN-? were detected by means of ELISA assay.Results IR was significantly reduced in two treatment groups compared with that of the model mice(60.72%,48.65%,P

Objective To study protein variation between PtenL/LMEFs and Pten△/△MEFs cells.Methods Two-dimensional electrophoresis(2-DE) was employed to compare the differential expression proteins between PtenL/LMEFs and Pten△/△MEFs cells.Six differential expression proteins were digested in gel by enzyme and the mass of generated peptides was measured by matrix assisted laser desorption ionization time of flight mass spectrometry(MALDI-TOF-MS).The data obtained from peptide mass fingerprinting(PMF) were searched using the Internet available database and five proteins were identified.Results Compared with that of PtenL/LMEFs,expression level of proteins including phosphoglycerate mutase 1(PGAM1) and peptidyl-prolyl cis-trans isomerase C(PPIC) was up-regulated,whereas expression level of Transgelin 2 was down-regulated in Pten△/△MEFs cells.B and F proteins were both identified to be peroxiredoxin-6.They had similar molecular weight but different PI which might be caused by post-translation modification.B protein was only expressed in Pten△/△MEFs cells.Conclusion The protein profile of Pten△/△MEFs cells displayed obvious difference compared to that of PtenL/LMEFs cells.The results implied that various distinct different proteins might lead to cancer.

Objective To construct eukaryotic expression plasmid of human B7-H1 extracellular region-hIgG1Fc-pCI-neo eukaryotic expression vector,and express the functional fusion protein in mammalian CHO cell.Methods Full-length human B7-H1 encoding sequence was amplified from human activated T cell cDNA library by PCR,fused with hIgG1Fc,then transformed into pCI-neo expression vector and verified by sequencing.The validated recombinant was transfected into mammalian CHO cell by lipofectamine reagent.The supernatant of the cultured cell was collected and analyzed by the sandwhich ELISA to detect if there was the fusion protein,and the fusion protein was purified by HiTrap recombination protein Protein A affinity chromatography.The concentrated supernatant or purified fusion protein were used for Western blotting after SDS-PAGE to identify the molecular weight and immune activity of the fusion protein of B7-H1.Results The extracellular region of hB7-H1 about 727 bp was cloned from human T cell cDNA library and was inserted with hIgG1Fc into the eukaryotic expression vector pCI-neo.After the transfection of recombinant into mammalian CHO cell by lipofectamine reagent,the expression of B7-H1 fusion protein was detected in the cultured CHO cell supernatant by the sandwhich ELISA.The immune activity of the fusion protein was verified by Western blotting,and its molecular weight was about 51.76?10~(3),very close to the expected value.Conclusion The hB7-H1-Fc chimeric molecule was successfully constructed and the expression of its functional fusion protein in mammalian CHO cells lays a foundation for further research on the role of B7-H1 in immune tolerance,autoimmune diseases.
