Objective: To study the effect of the bolus propofol on myocardial ? adrenergic receptor. Method: Twenty-one,aging 4-6 weeks,male health SD rats,were divided randomly into three groups:low dose group (L)with propofol of 5mg/kg,high dose group(H)with 12mg/kg of propofol and control group(C) with NS alone. The drugs were administered through the rat's tail vein in conscious state. 3 minutes after administration,the raps heart were totally taken out to investigate rat's myocardial ? adrenergic receptors with radioligand binding assay. Result:Compared with those in control group,in L group there was a decrease in ? adrenergic receptor density(Bmax),but no change in the affinity of ? adrenergic receptor (KD); In H group,Bmax decreased,KD value increased. The Bmax and KD were significantly different between L and H group. Conclusion:Intravenous bolus doses of propofol may cause down-regulation on myocardial ? adrenergic receptor of rats in dose-related way.

[Objective]To investigate the molecular mechanism of abnormal platelet activation induced by platelet O2 ·- and H2O2 levels in type 2 diabetes mellitus.[Methods]The platelet parameters in patients with type 2 diabetic patients and normal controls were measured;Immunofluorescence technique was used to observe the platelet morphology changing;Flow cytometry was used to detect platelet intracellular O2 ·- and H2O2 content in two groups,then with platelets in normal controls treated with NADH/PMS system and H2O2 respectively,platelet activation positive percentage was observed. Standard Western blot analysis protocols were used to detect expression difference of Catalase and type 2 super-oxide dismutase(Mn-SOD)in platelets.[Results]The MPV in the group of type 2 diabetic patients was significantly higher than in the normal control group(P < 0.001),but there was no statisticdifference in PLT,PDW,PCT between two groups. Immunofluorescence results showed that morphology of platelets in type 2 diabetic patients changed contrast to normal group. Through flowcytometry detection,the content of mitochondrial O2·-and H2O2 of platelet in type 2 diabetic patients were obviously higher than in normal group(P<0.05),whereas no significant difference in cytoplasmic O2·-. We adopted NADH/PMS system and H2O2 to treat platelets of normal group,heightened activated positive percentage were observed which described O2 ·- and H2O2 can significantly promote platelet activation(P<0.01). Western blot results showed that expression of Catalase in platelet of type 2diabetes patients decreased,while the expression and activity of Mn-SOD had no difference.[Conclusion]It is diabetic platelet Catalase expression decreased that may lead to Diabetic platelet mitochondrial O 2 ·- and H2O2 level increased ,thus regulating aberrant activation of diabetic platelet.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To cultivate stem-like spheres from SW620 cell line in the specific serum-free medium and evaluate the features of the cancer stem cells, and to investigate the effects of docosahexaenoic acid ( DHA) and eicosapen-taenoic acid ( EPA) on the growth of SW620 stem cell-like cells.METHODS: Human colon cancer stem cell-like cells ( CSCLC) were obtained from SW620 spheres cultured in serum-free medium.These cells were tested for the expression of SSEA-1 and TRA-1-81 by immunofluorescence staining.The mRNA expression of Sox-2 and Oct-4 was detected by real-time PCR.The efficiency of colony formation on a soft agar gel and tumor formation in the nude mice was compared between SW620 adherent cells and CSCLC.The inhibitory effects of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) and mitomycin C on both types of cells were measured by MTS assay.MTS assay, Annexin V/PI staining and trypan blue staining were used to determine the effects of DHA and EPA on both types of cells.MTS assay was also used to analyze the combined effect of DHA or EPA with chemotherapeutic drugs on SW620 CSCLC.RESULTS:SW620 cells formed spheres in serum-free culture.The cells from spheres highly expressed SSEA-1 and TRA-1-81, transiently expressed Sox-2 and Oct-4 genes and were more resistant to 5-FU and mitomycin C treatments.These cells exhibited a greater ability in clone formation and tumorigenicity, indica-ting that these cells carried stem cell-like features, hence were considered SW620-derived CSCLC.DHA and/or EPA sup-pressed SW620 CSCLC by inhibiting cell growth, inducing cell apoptosis and sensitizing them to chemotherapeutic drugs. CONCLUSION:The cells with stem cell-like features, such as high efficiency in clonogenicity, tumorigenicity and resist-ance to chemotherapeutic drugs, can be obtained from SW620 spheres cultured in serum-free condition.DHA and EPA in-duce apoptosis in SW620-derived CSCLC and sensitize them to chemotherapeutic drugs.

The single cell isolation technique was used to detect fetal nucleated erythroblasts (FNRBCs) at a single cell level from the peripheral blood of pregnant women in order to investigate the feasibility of this method for noninvasive prenatal diagnosis. Single fetal nucleated erythroblasts were isolated from the peripheral blood samples from 51 pregnant women (14 to 26 weeks of gestation) by micromanipulation techniques after density gradient centrifugation. Nested polymerase chain reaction method was used to amplify the SRY gene. It was found that the concordance rate of amplification results with real fetal sex was 82.61 %. The sensitivity and specificity were 80 % and 87.50 % respectively. It was suggested that it is feasible and promising in non invasive prenatal diagnosis to detect fetal nucleated erythroblasts at a single cell level by using micromanipulation techniques.

OBJECTIVE: To explore the method and effect of the midfacial degloving approach and modified hemifacial degloving approach associated with nasal endoscopic surgery in the treatment of the nasal diseases. METHOD: Thirty patients with nasal diseases were treated with nasal endoscopic surgery by midfacial degloving approach and modified hemifacial degloving approach. Four cases underwent midfacial degloving approach with standard method, three cases were underwent by hemifacial degloving approach and our modified hemifacial degloving approach associated with nasal endoscopic surgery were performed in twenty-three cases. We used Caldwell-Luc's approaches which located mainly in affected-side, and modified bilateral intercartilaginous incision, which at first peeled off integrality healthy-side cutis and mucosa of nasal septum as well as periosteum of basis nasi. With preserving the integrality of the healthy-side nasal cavity parenchyma, the pyriform aperture incisions extending to the healthy-side vestibule wasn't been cut. With the incisions of septal cartilage of nasal and disease- side cutis and mucosa of nasal septum as well as the pyriform aperture incisions extending to the affected-side vestibule, the lesion were cleared away completely by modified midfacial degloving approach associated with nasal endoscopic surgery. RESULT: All cases cuts achieved primary healing. One of four cases with midfacial degloving approach suffered from straightness of nasal vestibule. One of three cases with hemifacial degloving approach was led to perforation of nasal septum. In 23 cases operated hy modified hemifacial degloving approach, no straightness of nasal vestibule and no perforation of nasal septum was happened. CONCLUSION The midfacial degloving approach and modified hemifacial degloving associated with endoscopic surgery can achieve the advantages of a widely exposed field for operation, no facial scar, making tumour resection easier, and also no nasal- stuffed in healthy nasal cavity as well as no straightness of nasal vestibule after modified approach.

Objective: To learn the population,virus status and viral types of hantavirus（HV）hosts in Tiantai County of Zhejiang Province from 2011 to 2018,and to provide evidence for hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome（HFRS）control. Methods: Rodents in Tiantai County were captured by night trapping method. After the species and age of rodents were identified,the composition of rodent species,dominant species and density of rodents were analyzed. The lungs and blood of rodents were sampled to detect the antigen and antibody of HV by immunofluorescence method. The HV antigen-positive lung samples were detected by RT-PCR with specific primers of HV S fragment,then HV was isolated and identified by inoculating Vero-E6 cells. Results: The average rodent density in Tiantai County from 2011 to 2018 was 4.44%. The rodent density in the field and residential areas were 4.94% and 2.23%,respectively. Ten species of rodents were identified,with Apodemus agrarius dominant in the field and Rattus norvegicus in the residential areas. Sixty-seven lung samples were HV antigen positive（4.13%）,one from Rattus norvegicus and the other sixty-six from Apodemus agrarius. Seventy-nine blood samples were HV antibody positive（4.86%）,all from Apodemus agrarius. Thirty-four HV antigen-positive lung samples were positive（50.75%）after RT-PCR amplification. Twenty-two strains of virus were isolated and all of them were from Apodemus agrarius,including twenty-one strains of Hantaan type（HTN）and one strain of Seoul type（SEO）. Conclusion In Tiantai County,Apodemus agrarius is the main source of HFRS infection;the main epidemic type of HV is HTN and SEO is first found in Apodemus agrarius.

OBJECTIVETo study the severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS)-associated coronavirus genotype and its characteristics.

METHODSA SARS-associated coronavirus isolate named ZJ01 was obtained from throat swab samples taken from a patient in Hangzhou, Zhejing province. The complete genome sequence of ZJ01 consisted of 29,715 bp (GenBank accession: AY297028, version: gi: 30910859). Seventeen SARS-associated coronavirus genome sequences in GenBank were compared to analyze the common sequence variations and the probability of co-occurrence of multiple polymorphisms or mutations. Phylogenetic analysis of those sequences was done.

RESULTSBy bioinformatics processing and analysis, the 5 loci nucleotides at ZJ01 genome were found being T, T, G, T and T, respectively. Compared with other SARS-associated coronavirus genomes in the GenBank database, an A/G mutation was detected besides the other 4 mutation loci (C:G:C:C/T:T:T:T) involved in this genetic signature. Therefore a new definition was put forward according to the 5 mutation loci. SARS-associated coronavirus strains would be grouped into two genotypes (C:G:A:C:C/T:T:G:T:T), and abbreviated as SARS coronavirus C genotype and T genotype. On the basis of this new definition, the ZJ01 isolate belongs to SARS-associated coronavirus T genotype, first discovered and reported in mainland China. Phylogenetic analysis of the spike protein gene fragments of these SARS-associated coronavirus strains showed that the GZ01 isolate was phylogenetically distinct from other isolates, and compared with groups F1 and F2 of the T genotype, the isolates of BJ01 and CUHK-W1 were more closely related to the GZ01 isolate. It was interesting to find that two (A/G and C/T) of the five mutation loci occurred in the spike protein gene, which caused changes of Asp to Gly and Thr to Ile in the protein, respectively.

CONCLUSIONAttention should be paid to whether these genotype and mutation patterns are related to the virus's biological activities,epidemic characteristics and host clinical symptoms.

The clinical application of immune checkpoint inhibitors (ICIs) has significantly improved the prognosis of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) patients. With the widespread applica-tion of ICIs in HCC, the management of immune-related adverse events (irAE) gained more and more attention. However, the complicated disease characteristics and various combination therapies in HCC throw out challenges to irAE management. Therefore, the editorial board of the 'Chinese expert consensus on the management of immune-related adverse events of hepatocellular carcinoma treated with immune checkpoint inhibitors (2021 edition)' organizes multidisciplinary experts to discuss and formulate this consensus. The consensus focuses on issues related to HCC irAE manage-ment, and puts forward suggestions, in order to improve standardized and safety clinical medication, so as to maximize the benefits of immunotherapy for patients.
