85%).From the in vitro release experiment,the rhBMP-2 was controlled to release from the chitosan microsphere over 30 days.[Conclusion]The rhBMP-2 loaded chitosan microsphere prepared by emulsion cross-linking method shows a good controlled release property.Such a novel type of controlled release system has the potential of being applied for controlled cytokine delivery and the bone tissue engineering.

[Objective]To construct the recombinant adenovirus vector co-expressing human vascular endothelial growth factor 165(VEGF165) and angiogenin-1(Ang-1),and to observe the expression of target gene after transfection.[Method]Molecular biologic techniques were used to clone the genes of VEGF165 and Ang-1,and PCR was used to amplify the DNA sequence of IRES(internal ribozyme entry site) from pIRES2-EGFP.The genes of VEGF165,IRES and Ang-1 were subcloned to pTrack-CMV one by one to get the plasmid named pTrack-CMV-VIA,which contained all the three genes.The linearized shuttle plasmid was cotransformed into BJ5183 bacteria with backbone vector AdEasy-1.Further the recombinant plasmid was packaged and amplified in QBI-293A cells after Pac I digestion to get adenovirus vector pAd-VIA.The expression of the gene of interests was evaluated by fluorescence microscopic analysis of GFP expression and enzyme linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).[Result]The recombinant adenovirus plasmid was consistent with that shown by sequencing and restriction endonucleases digestion.The recombinant pAd-VIA vector was packaged and amplified successfully in QBI-293A cells.The titer was 2?1010 PFU/ml after amplifying.High positive GFP was expressed in the field through fluorescence microscopy after being transfected by recombinant pAd-VIA.ELISA indicated the expression of the target genes.The difference between the tansfected and non-transfected group was significant(P

To evaluate the effects of recombinant human stem cell factor on mobilization of peripheral blood stem cells, 30 monkeys were divided into control, rhG CSF 10?g?kg -1 ?d -1 (?KD), rhSCF 50?KD, rhG CSF 10?KD+rhSCF 20?KD, rhG CSF 10?KD+rhSCF 50?KD and rhG CSF 10?KD+rhSCF 125?KD groups. The monkeys were given subcutaneous injections of rhSCF for 8 days and/or rhG CSF for 5 days. The highest value of leukocyte in rhG CSF and rhSCF groups was 206% and 200% respectively, and that of rhG CSF+rhSCF groups was 280% to 310%. CFU GM of peripheral blood was up to 1 1, 1 3 and 5 8～7 9 times respectively after the mobilization. CD34 positive cell number of joint mobilization group was 20, 24 and 35 times respectively of that before mobilization. rhSCF can mobilize the effect of peripheral blood stem cells, and the effect of joint rhSCF+rhG CSF is better.

Objective To observe the curative effect of rhG-CSF or rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) on rhesus monkeys after irradiation of 7.0Gy ? ray.MethodsFifteen healthy adult rhesus monkeys were divided into placebo control, rhG-CSF, and rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized groups. rhSCF 20?g?kg -1 ?d -1 (?KD) was administered for 8 consecutive days. Then from the 4th day to the 8th day, animals of both rhG-CSF and rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized groups were also given rhG-CSF 10?KD. The placebo control animals were given 0.9% sodium chloride of the same volume per kilogram. On day 0 of the irradiation, PBSCs were collected from all subjects. 3～4 hrs after irradiation, all animals received autologous PBSC infusion. ResultsFrom day 21 to day 29 after TBI, rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized group showed higher WBC counts compared to placebo control and rhG-CSF mobilized group. Platelet counts of both mobilized groups recovered more quickly than those of placebo control. Bone marrow nucleated cells culture demonstrated that rhG-CSF and rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized PBSC had stimulated bone marrow nucleated cells to form more CFUs. Histopathological evaluation showed the number of hematopoietic cells in the bone marrow of rhG-CSF mobilized group was greater than those in placebo control but less than those in rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized group. ConclusionThe infusion of rhG-CSF or rhG-CSF+rhSCF mobilized PBSC can improve the hematopoietic recovery in rhesus monkeys after 7.0Gy ? ray irradiation. The combined use of two mobilizing factors gives better result than using single factor.

BACKGROUND: Although angiography is the gold standard for the diagnosis of cerebrovascular disease, it cannot be used widely because of its traumatotaxis. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD) and MRA are both non-invasive examinations, which can be used to evaluate intracranial large artery vascular trunks and hemodynamics.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the reliability of diagnosis with TCD on hemodynamic changes of ischemic cerebrovascular disease (ICVD) and the relativity between TCD and MRA.DESIGN: Case analysis based on patients.SETTING: Neurological Department of the First Affiliated Clinical Hos-pital, Harbin Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: From April 2001 to February 2002,totally 45 patients with stroke,selected from outpatients and inpatients of Neurological Department of First Affiliated Clinical Hospital of Harbin Medical University,examined by CT, to be told the fact and accepted, were taken part in the study.METHODS: Patients were examined with TC-2021 TCD instrument produced by German EME Corporation and VISART1.5T superconduct MR instrument produced by Toshiba. Totally 45 patients had TCD and MRI examinations, and the alternation between two examinations was 1 to 15 days. The hemodynamics and morphological changes were observed including middle cerebral artery (MCA), end of internal carotid artery (ICA),anterior cerebral artery (ACA), posterior cerebral artery (PCA), basal artery (BA), and vertebral artery (VA).large artery vascular trunks and hemodynamic results with TCD and MRA;ty, false positive and false negative with TCD with those of MRA.TCD and MRA: Theory data was Tmin=9.91; χ2=107.92, P ＜ 0.005, it was considered that the results with the rate of TCD were related with that of MRA. The detection rate of TCD was 19.06%, and that of MRA was 15.25%. There were significant differences between the detection rate of standard, the sensibility of diagnosing abnormal vessels by TCD was 78.10%, specificity 94.22%, false positive 7.46%, false negative 23.31%,and the coincidence rate 89.36%.CONCLUSION: TCD can assess exactly the functional status of the vessels. It can also reflect early and sensitively the change of hemodynamics of cerebral blood flow. While MRA can display the change of vascular appearance directly so that the combination of TCD and MRA will be improve sensibility and specificity of diagnosis.

Objective Investigations regarding the status of pediatric emergency and relevant facilities distribution in our province represent a crucial prerequisite for further setting up emergency network and improving our first aid capabilities.Methods We had conducted relevant surveys on the medical institutions within our province,including lever 2 and lever 3 hospitals as well as maternal and child care service centers.Results The feedback from 151 institutions indicated that they had 4485 pediatric beds and treated 5 308 severe patients in 2010.Among all,38 hospitals had ventilators for children and 4 hospitals could perform pediatric blood purification treatment.However,no one had mastered the children ECMO technique.Conclusion There is an inadequacy of some emergency equipments and the development in emergency and first aid is uneven.There is a strong request to launch and develop the blood purification and bronchfiberscope techniques,in combination with improvements in the first aid capabilities and emergency network.

Objective To evaluate the role of signal transducer and activator of transcription 3 (STAT3) signaling pathway in the reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by diazoxide postconditioning in rats.Methods Sixty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 3 months,weighing 240-260 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =12 each):sham operation group (S group),I/R group,vehicle group (V group),diazoxide postconditioning group (D group),and STAT3 signaling pathway inhibitor Stattic group (St group).Myocardial I/R was produced by 30 min occlusion of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery followed by 120 min reperfusion.In V and D groups,0.4％ dimethyl sulfoxide and 7 mg/kg diazoxide (in 1 ml of 0.4％ dimethyl sulfoxide) were injected through the femoral vein at the onset of reperfnsion,respetively.In St group,Stattic was injected through the femoral vein 10 min before reperfusion,and the other procedures were the same as those in D group.The infarct size (IS) and myocardial apoptosis were detected by TTC staining and TUNEL,respectively.Apoptotic index (AI) was calculated.STAT3 mRNA expression in myocardial tissues was detected using RT-PCR.Western blot was used to detect the phosphorylation of STAT3.Results Compared with S group,the IS and AI were significantly increased and the expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 were decreased in I/R group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with I/R group,the IS and AI were significantly decreased and the expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 were increased in D group (P ＜ 0.05).There was no significant difference in IS,AI,expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 between V group and St group (P ＞0.05).Compared with group D,the IS and AI were significantly increased and the expression of STAT3 mRNA and phosphorylation of STAT3 were decreased in St group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion STAT3 signaling pathway is involved in the reduction of myocardial I/R injury by diazoxide postconditioning in rats.

Objective To explore the clinical characteristics and pregnancy outcomes of twin pregnancies complicated with severe preeclampsia.Methods The pregnant outcomes of 131 twin pregnancies (twin group) and 572 singleton pregnancies (singleton group),all complicated with severe preeclampsia,were analyzed retrospectively.All patients were treated in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,West China Second University Hospital,Sichuan University from June 2007 to June 2011.The patients' age,onset of disease,gestational weeks at delivery,mean duration of expectant treatment,blood pressure,laboratory parameters and incidence of pregnancy complications,including placental abruption,heart failure,pulmonary edema,postpartum hemorrhage,uteroplacental apoplexy,eclampsia,HELLP syndrome (hemolysis,elevated liver enzymes and low platelets syndrome),hypoproteinemia,retinopathy,intracranial hemorrhage and renal insufficiency,were compared between the two groups.Perinatal outcomes such as premature delivery,perinatal mortality,neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) hospitalization,fetal distress,hypoxic-ischemic encephalopathy (HIE),asphyxia neonatorum,neonatal pneumonia,hyperbilirubinemia and neonatal hypoglycemia of two groups were also compared.Chi-square test,Fisher's exact test or t-test were used for statistical analysis.Results The severe preeclampsia incidence of twin pregnancies (5.03％,131/2604) was higher than that (1.94％,572/29 452) of singleton pregnancy (x2=106.40,P＜0.001).The onset time [(33.6±1.8) weeks] and gestations at delivery [(34.6±2.9) weeks] in twin group were earlier than those in singleton group [(34.4± 2.0) weeks,t=2.364,P＜0.05; (35.6±3.2) weeks,t=3.902,P＜0.05].The duration of expectant treatment of twin group [(6.4±0.3) d] were shorter than that of singleton group [(7.4± 0.5) d,t=5.314,P＜0.01].The incidence of placental abruption [9.9％ (13/131) vs 4.2％ (24/572),x2=7.013,P＜0.01],heart failure [11.5％ (15/131) vs 3.2％ (18/572),x2=16.430,P＜0.01],pulmonary edema [4.6％ (6/131) vs 0.9％ (5/572),x2=9.505,P＜0.01],postpartum hemorrhage [16.0％ (21/131) vs 7.0％ (40/572),x2 =10.990,P ＜ 0.01] and uteroplacental apoplexy [5.3％ (7/131) vs 0.5％ (3/572),x2 =17.650,P＜0.01] of twin group were higher than those of singleton group,respectively.The incidence of premature delivery [77.1％ (202/262) vs 29.9％ (171/572),x2=162.000,P＜0.05],NICU hospitalization [76.2％ (205/262) vs 58.4％(332/572),x2 =31.980,P＜0.05] and HIE [8.4％ (22/262) vs 4.7％ (27/572),x2 =4.392,P＜0.05] of twin group were higher than those of singleton group,respectively.Conclusions Twin pregnancy women are more likely to be complicated with severe preeclampsia and more vulnerable to suffer from severe complications,resulting in poor perinatal outcomes.More attentions should be paid on the management of twin pregnancy.Once hypertensive disorders complicating pregnancy is diagnosed,active management should be provided and timing of termination should be considered.

To investigate the relationship between platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLA) and serum high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)in type 2 diabetic patients with retinopathy (DR).The blood levels of platelet-neutrophil aggregates( PNA )and platelet-monocyte aggregates ( PMA ) were determined by flow cytometry and serum hs-CRP by ELISA in 30 patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy( PDR group),30 patients with no-proliferative diabetic retinopathy( NPDR group),25 diabetic patients without DR( DM group),and 30 normal controls.The levels of PNA,PMA,and hs-CRP in PDR group were significantly higher than those in normal control,NPDR,and DM groups.The levels of PNA,PMA,and hs-CRP in NPDR group were significantly higher than those in normal control and DM group( P＜0.01 or P＜0.05 ).The PNA and PMA were correlated positively with hs-CRP in patients with DR ( r =0.587,0.576 ; P ＜ 0.05 ).The data showed that the levels of PLA and hs-CRP were raised significantly in patients with DR,and the levels of PLA were positively correlated with inflammatory response and the seriousness of DR,suggesting that these findings may play an important role in the development of DR.
