BACKGROUND:Establishing an animal model of lung transplantation has operational significance to the development of clinical lung transplantation.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze and summarize animal selection, model establishment method, points to note and mechanism of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury and pulmonary immune rejection in the establishment of animal models as preclinical research of lung transplantation.
METHODS:A computer-based retrieval of CNKI and PubMed database from January 1982 to September 2013 was performed for literature related to lung transplantation. The key words were“lung transplantation, animal models, reperfusion injury”in English and Chinese, respectively. After eliminating duplicate and obsolete literature,50 articles were included for further analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Currently, animal experiments about al ogeneic lung transplantation are
common, which are of significance for clinical lung transplantation. Single lung transplantation is mainly seen in animal models. The commonly used lung transplantation models include single lung orthotopic murine model, rabbit orthotopic lung transplantation, canine and porcine orthotopic left lung transplantation, canine bilateral sequential lung pulmonary transplantation, autologous pig lung transplant model, rabbit lung ischemia-reperfusion model. Because the anatomical and physiological features are similar to humans, pigs are becoming the preferred choice for large animal experiments. Animal experiments and clinical studies have shown that lung ischemia-reperfusion injury in lung transplantation represents a biphasic pattern:early occurrence of lung ischemia-reperfusion injury (24 hours after infusion) is related to lung donors, and the late occurrence mainly depends on receptors. Its pathophysiology runs through the whole process of donor lung resection, preservation and reperfusion as wel as postoperative management. Immune rejection is a complex immune response induced by identifying the donor cellsurface histocompatibility antigen, and activated T lymphocytes play a crucial role in the immune response in organ transplantation.

As a highly efficient protein degradation pathway,ubiquitin-proteasome system(UPS) plays an important role in maintaining cell function.The role of UPS is becoming a new research focus in molecular mechanism of cognitive function.UPS mainly acts on neurotrans mitter and its receptor,synaptic reguIation,long-term potentiation of postsynaptic poteraiais and neuronal signal transduction,and it may become a new target for the intervention of cognitive dysfunction.

Objective　To evaluate the possible role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) in the pathogenesis of retinal neovascularization resulting from retinal ischemia．　Methods　Retinal vein occlusion of rabbits model was established with argon laser photocoagulation to retinal vein．The VEGF mRNA expression was observed in ischemic retina and retinal neovascular tissue with in situ hybridization technique．　Results　VEGF mRNA expression was detected in inner ischemic retina and retinal neovascular tissue that were corespondent to the distribution of retinal ischemia． The strongest VEGF mRNA expression was detected in retinal neovascular tissue．　Conclusion　VEGF might play an important role in the pathogenesis of vascular proliferative retinopathy．

Aim To clone the muscarinic receptors M1, M3 and M5 sequences of astrocyte cells,and compare the gene and protein sequences with those of neurons. Methods Specific primers were designed to clone the M1, M3 and M5 sequences of astrocyte cells by RT-PCR according to those of neurons,then sequenced the sequences. Result By comparing the M1, M3 and M5 sequences expression by astrocyte cells with those by neurons and we found four, eight,and one different bases and one, four and one different amino acids in M1, M3 and M5 between astrocyte cells and neurons respectively. Conclusions The gene and protein sequence differences are evident in M1, M3 and M5 between astrocyte cells and neurons.

In this paper,we focus on how to planning and implementing CRM system in hospital,and address this topic in three main sections.Firstly, The comprehending and urgent need of hospital leaders and managers about CRM are the most important.Secondly,before implementing CRM,the status of information management in hospital and characteristic of relationship between customers(or patients) and hospital should be sufficiently understood.Thirdly,which kind of CRM,and how much investment what you need should be analyzed.A general principle is put forward,that is "clear aim,macro planning,(uniform) disposal and stepping into implementing".

R 5 was administered in vitro to observe its antitumor activity in human breast carcinoma cell line MCF 7. As the most useful and efficient anthracycline, epirubicin(EPI) was served as the positive chemical treatment control. MTT colorimetric assay was applied to detect cytotoxicity of R 5 to MCF 7 cells. Apoptotic rate of cells double marked with Annexin V FITC and PI was examined by flow cytometry. And, the alteration of wild type (WT) p53, bax and bcl 2 proteins expression was also observed. Ultrastructural change of MCF 7 cells was observed under a transmission electron microscope. The results showed that growth restrain was observed in MCF 7 cells when administered with different doses of R 5 or EPI. The effect was increased concomitantly with the increasing of R 5 or EPI concentration and culture time. Apoptosis was observed since 6 hours after the MCF 7 cells cultured with R 5 or EPI, and the effect was increased with the culture time extending and reached the highest peak at about 48 hours. However, the apoptotic rate decreased when cultured for 72 hours. Different doses of R 5 and EPI can all induce apoptosis in MCF 7 cell, and the apoptotic rate increased with their concentration, but decreased when the concentration was higher than 5?10 -6 mol/L. Ultrastructure of apoptotic MCF 7 cells, observed by transmission electron microscope, showed typical morphologic changes of apoptosis.

ATP sensitive potassium (K ATP ) channels widely expressed in many tissue and cell types including neurons are heteromultimers of sulfonylurea receptor (SUR) and inward rectifier K + channel (Kir6) subunits associated with 1∶1 stoichiometry as a tetramer (SUR/Kir6) 4. The activity of K ATP channels is modulated by intracellular ATP concentrations. Neuronal K ATP channels are involved in the mediation of glucose sensing and metabolic stress. Under physiological condition, they also possess important pathophysiological functions in acute brain ischemic and chronic neurodegenerative diseases.

BACKGROUND:Severe knee pain after total knee arthroplasty is an important factor for the poor recovery of knee function after replacement. How to give a satisfactory postoperative analgesia scheme is currently a hot research. OBJECTIVE:To explore the clinical effects of different analgesic program methods on postoperative pain and functional recovery in patients undergoing total knee arthroplasty. METHODS:From March 2010 to February 2014, 60 patients with unilateral knee arthroplasty were randomly divided into three groups:epidural analgesia group, intravenous analgesia group, and continuous femoral nerve block analgesia group. 20 patients in each group received corresponding postoperative analgesia. Visual Analogue Scale score before replacement, 1, 6, 24, 48 and 96 hours after replacement, the recovery of range of motion at 24, 48 and 72 hours after replacement, KSS score of the knee and adverse reactions after replacement were recorded and compared in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the preoperative data, Visual Analogue Scale score was reduced in continuous femoral nerve block analgesia group at 1, 24, 48 and 96 hours after replacement (P<0.05). The recovery of range of motion was best in the continuous femoral nerve block analgesia group, fol owed by epidural analgesia group, and it was poorest in the intravenous analgesia group (P<0.05). Compared with the preoperative data, postoperative KSS scores increased at 1 and 3 months after replacement in the three groups (P<0.05). Compared with the continuous femoral nerve block analgesia group, knee joint function score was decreased in the intravenous analgesia group (P<0.05). Results verified that continuous femoral nerve block analgesia had good overal effects, helped the recovery of postoperative joint function, and was safe and reliable.
