AIM: To study the role of acylation stimula ting protein (ASP) in the differentiation of 3T3-F442A preadipocytes. METHODS: Differentiation of 3T3-F442A preadipocytes was induced by ASP. The morphological changes were observed by Oil-Red O staining and the di fferentiation rate was compared. TG synthesis and TG mass in these cells were al so assayed. DNA synthesis was measured by -TdR incorporation. A typical differentiation inducer, insulin, was used as a positive control to compare thes e results. RESULTS: (1) 3T3-F442A preadipocytes were induced to differentia te by ASP alone. Fat droplets were clearly visible in the cytoplasm of 3T3-F442A cells. The differentiation rate was high (90%), but no significant difference w as observed, compared with that in insulin group (95%). (2) In ASP group, TG syn thesis and TG mass were significantly increased, both of them were higher than t hat in control group (P0.05). CONCLUSION: As a new adipocytes hormone, ASP plays an important biological role in the differentiation of preadipocytes.

Objective To investigate the change of intestine mucosal permeability during cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB) and its effect on gut barrier in rats model. Methods The rats model of CPB was established and samples of tissue and plasma were collected at different intervals. Plasma D-lactate and LPS concentrations were determined and gut tissue was examined microscopically. Results The plasma concentration of D-lactate and LPS increased gradually at 1h CPB, and increased markedly 1h after CPB. They recovered to normal 8h after CPB, respectively. In addition, it was noted that there was a significant positive correlation between the plasma concentrations of LPS and D-lactate (r = 0.8312, P

Objective To study the epidemiological characteristics of the acute toxicosis cases in a general hospital of a metropolis. Methods The prospective study was performed from Jan. 1st, 2005 to Dec. 31st, 2006 in acute toxicosis patients admitted during that period. The data analyzed included sex, age, occupation, onset time, poisoning cause, variety of poisons, way of poisoning, emergency diagnosis, emergency treatment, etc. Results There were 315 poisoning patients treated during the study period, accounting for 2.33‰ of the total patients visiting in the emergency department. Among these poisoning patients, the sex ratio (males vs females) was 1∶0.84. The age of most of the patients ranged from 20 to 29 (35.9%) years old. Alcohol was the major cause of poisoning (38.4%), followed in order by poisoning due to drugs (20.6%), food poisoning (18.1%), chemical poisoning (10.2%) and pesticide poisoning (5.7%). There was predominant time of the occurrence of poisoning in a year, but it was more frequent in January, February, June, July, November and December. 85.1% of patients were poisoned by oral route. The occupation of patients was mainly technical personnel (21.0%), followed in order by farmers and the laborers, self-employed businessmen, persons taking care of household chores and the unemployed, etc. 98.1% of patients survived in the hospital. Mortality rate was 1.9%. Conclusions Young persons and technical personnel constitute the high-risk group of patients with poisoning. The main poisons were alcohol, drugs, food and other chemical poisons. The main route of poison intake was the digestive tract. There is no obvious seasonal regularity.

Objective To design a kind of mobile doctor-nurse workstation in order to adapt to medical logistic information construction and improve the ability of medical treatment team under field condition. Methods With using the combination technology such as wireless network, communication, barcode and computer database, the mobile workstation based on 2D barcode at last was developed. Results The workstation can make the field medical treatment team information system towards wireless network and informationization more well and provide the first-hand data for performing treatment and medical care under field condition. Conclusion The application shows that the workstation can be well adapted to the requirement of field condition with quick and high performance characteristic, in addition, the system is convenient, stable and has friendly interface.

Objective To evaluate the effect of mental intervention combined with simple brachial plexus anesthesia in children' upper extremity operation. Method 80 cases of8 ～ 12 years old children were selected after strict evaluation and screening,of who needed upper extremity operation(fractures internal fixation not included) ,and the surgery time less than 120 minutes. All the operations were completed under the simple brachial plexus anesthesia, and combined with mental intervention preoperatively and intraoperatively. The changes of HR and BP intraoperatively the psyche condition after the operation completed were observed and followed up the mental change postoperatively. Result All the operation were completed. The HR and BP were stable intraoperation (P ＞ 0. 05), the psyche was quiet after the operation completed,and no mental disorder was happened postoperative. Conclusion The mental intervention combined with simple brachial plexus anesthesia was safe in 8 ～ 12 years old children' upper extremity operation, and it deserved to spread and apply.

ObjectiveElectric stimulation of the central nervous system has been served as a treatment method for variety of neurological,psychiatric and sensory disorders.Despite considerable success in some applications,current stimulation techniques offer little control over which neuronal targets are activated by stimulation.This study aimed to present a new shape self-adaptive helix electrode for selective activation of optic nerve.MethodsThe geometric model of optic nerve and new helix electrode was elaborated with COMSOL Multiphysics.The new helix electrodes consist of silicone helix frame,which acted as support and insulation,and platinum contacts embedded within the frame.The activating function (AF) was introduced to characterize the stimulation effects,and the selectivity of activating optic nerve fascicle with new helix electrode was simulated by COMSOL Multiphysics,taking into account the variations of electrode contact locations.ResultsAssuming normalized AF threshold was 0.1 V/m2,the ratio difference of AF over threshold between new helix electrode and traditional electrode was only 1.2410％.With contacts in two ends of helix electrode closer to the middle contact,the small nerve fascicle was first activated and then the large one.ConclusionThe results show that the new helix electrodes have the same stimulation effects as that of traditional cuff electrodes.The new helix electrodes can selectively activate optic nerve fascicle with variations of electrode contact locations.

Objective To explore the effect of rehabilitation on pneumonia in children with cerebral palsy (CP).Methods60 CP children with pneumonia were randomly divided into the control group and rehabilitation group with 30 cases in each group. All children in two groups received active support therapy but those in the rehabilitation group were added with rehabilitation treatment.ResultsThe time of body temperature decline, alleviation of cough and expectoration, role disappear of the rehabilitation group were shortened compared with that of the control group ( P<0.05).ConclusionRehabilitation treatment is helpful for treatment of pneumonia in CP children.
