1.The Biological Characterization of Bone Morphogenetic Protein 2 Gene Transfected Human Periodontal Ligament Fibroblasts
Journal of Shanghai Jiaotong University(Medical Science) 2001;21(1):24-27
ObjectiveTo establish the human periodontal ligament fibroblasts(HPDLFs)that express BMP2 and observe their biologicl characterization. MethodsA phagemid expression vector for BMP2 (pBK-B2) was transfected into HPDLFs by using LipofectAMINE. The BMP2 expression was determined by the immunohistochemical ABC method. The alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, osteocalcin (OC) production and capacity of mineralization were measured in the transfected cells. ResultsBMP2 protein was expressed in HPDLFs after gene transfection. The BMP2 gene transfected cells showed prominently elevated ALP activity, OC production and increase in mineralized nodules. ConclusionThe results indicate that BMP2 is expressed in HPDLFs and is involved in inducing differ- entiation of HPDLFs into osteoblast-like cells.

Objective To investigate the effects of platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF) on the expression of ?-smooth muscle actin(?-SMA) of cultured human retinal pigment epithelium cells(RPE). Methods Cultured human RPE cells of the 4-6 th passages were divided into two groups: Delbecco′s modified Eagle′s medium (DMEM) and 2%DMEM (20 g/L foeta calf serum+DMEM). PDGF (0,1,50 ng/ml) was added to medium.The expression of ?-SMA was detected and quantitatively analyzed by image process of immunofluorescence. Results PDGF stimulated the expression of ?-SMA of human RPE cells.In group of DMEM, The rate of RPE of ?-SMA expression was 40%-50% and the intension of fluorescence was 8 08 without PDGF. After stimulated by PDGF(1 ng/ml,50 ng/ml), the rates were 80% and 90% respectively, and the intension of fluorescence were 12.35 and 17.23. In 2%DMEM group, The rates of RPE of ?-SMA expression were 85% without PDGF, and 95% ,100% respectively treated with PDGF (1 ng/ml,50 ng/ml). The intension of fluorescence was 14.79 without PDGF, and after stimulated by PDGF, they were 16.28 at 1 ng/ml and 21.36 at 50 ng/ml,which was 2.7 times stronger than that in DMEM group without PDGF. Conclusion PDGF could stimulate RPE cells to express ?-SMA.

OBJECTIVETo establish the migraine rheumatism stasis syndrome animal model.
METHODThe rat migraine rheumatism stasis syndrome animal model was established through rheumatism stimulation with manual climate box, 5-HT reduction caused by reserpine and local cerebral vasospasm. General vital signs (activity, weight, eye gum, hair, feeding, excrement), head scratch frequency and image collection were observed to analyze the changes in biological signs of stasis syndrome (tongue image RGB), thrombin and serotonin of model rats.
RESULTThe reserpine group and the reserpine plus rheumatism model group showed significant reduction in blood coagulation time, pain threshold and 5-HT content in blood and brain (P < 0.01); the reserpine plus rheumatism model group showed an increase in eye gum and decreases in activity, feeding, with thin sloppy stool. According to the tough RGB values, the control group showed light red toughs, the reserpine group showed dark purple toughs, the reserpine plus rheumatism model group showed gray toughs, with notable differences in tough RGB values in all three group.
CONCLUSIONThe rheumatism stimulation with manual climate box, 5-HT reduction caused by reserpine and local cerebral vasospasm can be used to induce the migraine rheumatism stasis syndrome animal model, but its modeling assessment method and process shall be further improved.

Objective To explore the bacterial flora distribution characteristics and drug resistance of pus bacterial culture in a‐cute mastitis and to analyze thechange trend of drug resistance spectrum to provide a evidence‐based basis for the rational use of an‐timicrobial agents in clinic .Methods The pus collected from 207 cases of acute mastitis was conducted the bacterial culture .The bacterial identification and antibacterial susceptibility test were performed by adopting the manual experiment combined with the DL‐96 system .Partial drug susceptibility test was performed by combining with the K‐B method .Results Among 207 specimens , 82 strains of pathogenic bacteria were detected with the detection rate of 39 .6% ,including 51 strains (62 .2% ) of staphylococcus aureus ,7 strains (8 .5% ) of pseudomonas aeruginosa ,4 strains (4 .9% ) of staphylococcus intermedius ,4 strains (4 .9% ) of staphy‐lococcus epidermis ,3 strains (3 .7% ) of acid‐producing klebsiella bacteria and each 1 strain of staphylococcus hemolyticus and other 13 kinds of bacterium .The resistance rates of staphylococcus aureus to azithromycin ,erythromycin and clarithromycin were 92 .2% ,84 .3% and 84 .3% respectively ,indicating that macrolides drugs had a higher overall drug resistance rate and were not suitable for selection and use;the resistance rates of moxifloxacin and ciprofloxacin were 3 .9% and 4 .1% respectively ,the MRSA detection rate was 27 .5% .The resistance rates of Pseudomonas aeruginosa to ticarcillin/clavulanic acid was 85 .7% ;the drug resitance rate of cefoperazone was 83 .3% ;which of gentamycin and amikacin was 71 .4% ;which of aztreonam was 14 .3% ;which of ceftazidime was 28 .6% and which of meropenem was 28 .6% .Conclusion The majority of detected bacteria in pus from the pa‐tients with acute mastitis are Staphylococcus aureus ,followed by pseudomonas aeruginosa ,which is different from that reported by other literatures ,showing the bacterial distribution has regional difference .Staphylococcus aureus has high resistance rate to macrol‐ides antibacterial drugs ,but is highly sensitive to ciprofloxacin and moxifloxacin;Pseudomonas aeruginosa has higher resistant rate to ticarcillin/clavulanic and cefoperazone ,but it is highly sensitive to aztreonam ,ceftazidime and meropenem .Empirical medication should be comprehensively considered by combining with drug resistance spectrum of Staphylococcus aureus and Pseudomonas aeruginosa ,and the sensitive drugs should be selected according to the drug susceptibility results after the antimicrobial susceptibili‐ty test for conducting the targeted medication .
