Methods To eliminate the factors of sea-son-changing by means of Time Series. Auto regressive integrated moving average(ARIMA), based on model identification, estimation andverifica-tion of parameter, and analysis of the fitting of model, was established. Fi-nally,the predictive model was established by the multiple of ARLMA and seasonal factors. Results The error of the model for the prediction was -0.06 on average. The relative error was 2.32% on average. Conclusion Time series could not only accurately predict useing the data which was collected every week,but shorten the cycle of prediction.

Objective To investigate the effects of erythropoietin(EPO)on the function of glomerular endothelial cells in rats with chronic renal failure(CRF). Methods The CRF model was established by a two stage 5/6 nephrectomy procedure in rats.Experimental rats were randomly divided into four groups:sham operation group (control group),CRF group,CRF rats treated with 30 U/kg EPO(low-dosage group)and with 50 U/kg EPO (high-dosage group).CRF rats received EPO by hypodermic injection for 6 weeks and then were sacrificed.Serum creatinine(Scr),blood urea nitrogen fBUN),urine protein,haematoglobin (Hb) and blood pressure were measured.The renal morphologie changes were evaluated on periodic acid-schiff (PAS) stained sections.The CD34 and CD31 expressions in glomerulus were detected by immunohistochemistry method.The mRNA of endothelin 1(ET-1),endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) were detected by RT-PCR. Results The expressions of CD34 and CD31 protein in glomerulus,and the expressions of eNOS and VEGF roRNA in renal tissue were higher in EPO treatment group than those in CRF model group(all P<0,05).The expression of ET-1 mRNA in renal tissue was lower in EPO treatment group than that in CRF model group.In addition,the Scr,BUN,urine protein and blood pressure in EPO treatment group were significantly lower than those in CRF model group (all P<0.05).Haematoglobin in EPO treatment group was higher than that in CRF model group (P<0.05).Reanl pathological injury wss improved by EPO treatment in dose-dependent manner. Conclusion EPO can ameliorate renal pathological injury and renal function in rats with chronic renal failure,maybe through promoting the renovation of glomerular capillary endothelium and improving the function of glomerular endothelial cells.

Objective To explore the preparation of liposomal clodronate and investigate its inducing effects on the apoptosis of peritoneal macrophages in rats after severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods Liposomal clodronate was prepared by means of thin film. SAP rat model was established by retrograde injection of 5% sodium taurocholate into the pancreatic duct. The peritoneal macrophages were obtained from SAP rats. After exposure to different doses of liposomal clodronate (50, 100,150 μl), the PM proliferation was determined by MTT colourimetry. The apoptosis of PM was measured by flow cytometry and agarose gel electrophoresis, respectively. Results The prepared liposomal clodronate had a suitable encapsulation efficiency of clodronate (5.8%) with an average size of 200 nm. The spherical shape of liposome was confirmed by transmission electron microscope. Exposed to liposomal clodronate of different doses resulted in a obvious growth depression (P＜0.01). The apoptotic rate of the PM was (10.32±0.34) %, (18.16±0.49)% and (29.87±0.35)% in three different dose groups and the difference was marked (P＜0.01). 1.2% of agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA extracted from apoptotic macrophages induced by liposomal clodronate showed clearer and characteristic ladder following the liposomal clodronate concentration. Conclusion Liposomal clodronate has a definite effect on peritoneal macrophages in SAP rats.

Objective To investigate the effects of erythropoietin (EPO) on the number and function of peripheral blood endothelial progenitor cells (EPCs) from rats with chronic renal failure (CRF). Methods The model of chronic renal failure was established by a two-stage 5/6nephrectomy procedure in rats. Experimental rats were randomly divided into four groups (n =7,respectively): sham operation group, CRF group, CRF rats treated with 30 U/kg EPO (low-dosage group) and with 50 U/kg EPO (high-dosage group). CRF rats were given EPO by hypodermic injection for 6 weeks, then EPCs were isolated by density gradient centrifugation from peripheral blood mononuclear cells. The ability of cell proliferation, adhesion and vasculogenesis in vitro was further observed. Results Compared to sham operation group, the ability of cell proliferation,adhesion and vasculogenesis in vitro in CRF rats was remarkably decreased (P＜0.05, respectively).Such ability was promoted significantly in dose-dependent manner by EPO treatment (P＜0.05,respectively). Conclusion EPO can improve the number and ability of endothelial progenitor cells from rats with chronic renal failure.

Objective To comparatively investigate the adhesive capabilities of sodium alginate and guar gum as bone adhesives.Methods The adhesive capabilities were analysed and discussed by measuring their kinetic viscosities,solidification time and the reaction with calcium ions.Results Guar gum had higher kinetic viscosity and could fit to the supply of both ion calcium and non-ion calcium for the bone cure,but its capability of solidification need to be improved.Sodium alginate had higher solubility and its solidification could be finished in short time,but it had lower viscosity and fit only to the non-ion calcium supply.Conclusion Sodium alginate and guar gum are considered to be the potential natural materials of the bone adhesives.

Objective To investigate the safety and effectiveness of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) in the surgical treatment of intracranial arteriovenous malformations (AVMs) in children.Methods Between December 2015 and February 2017,the clinical and imaging data of 9 children with AVM (2-14 years) underwent hybrid surgery at the Department of Neurosurgery,Xuanwu Hospital,Capital Medical University were analyzed retrospectively.According to the Spetzler-Martin grade,there were 2 patients with grade Ⅰ,3 with grade Ⅱ,2 with grade Ⅲ,and 2 with grade Ⅳ.All the children were treated with microsurgery,and their AVMs were removed by real-time assistance using DSA technique during the operation.The imaging cure rate of surgical treatment and the complications of intraoperative angiography of the children were analyzed.The children were followed up clinically after procedure.According to the modified Rankin scale (mRS) score,their prognoses were evaluated.Results Intraoperative angiography revealed that the AVMs in 8 of 9 children were resected completely,and 1 had a residual lesion,then it was resected completely.Immediately after the resection of the nidi,the angiography confirmed that the nidi of 9 children were resected completely.No related complications caused by intraoperative angiography were observed.Nominal aphasia occurred in 1 child after procedure,and he recovered gradually after 6 months.Pulmonary infection occurred in 2 children,and they were cured after anti-infection treatments.Postoperative follow-up mRS scores were 0-1 in 8 children,2 in 1 child,and no rebleeding was observed.Conclusions In children undergoing AVM surgery,initial observation of DSA is safe and effective.Intraoperative angiography can guide the complete resection of the lesions in real time,improve the surgical cure rate of AVMs,and improve the prognosis of children.

Objective To develop and evaluate an aptamer based biosensor (aptasensor) for rapid colorimetric detection of enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC). Method The aptasensor was fabricated by modifying the truncated LPS-binding aptamer on the surface of nanoscale polydiacetylene vesicles using peptide bonding between the carboxyl group of the vesicle and the amine group of the aptamer. Molecular recognition between EPEC and aptamer at the interface of the vesicle led to blue-red transition of polydiacetylene which was readily visible to the naked eyes and could be quantified by colorimetric responses (CR). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) was used to confirm the specific interactions between EPEC and polydiacetylene vesicles. Result Truncated aptamer showed the similar LPS-binding activity. The aptasensor could detect the target bacteria in a range of 105-108 colony-forming units (CFU)/ml within less than 30 minutes and its specificity was 100% for detection of EPEC O111. The sensor reproducibiliry obtained at 106 CFU/ml was 6. 08% R. S. D. The results of TEM confirmed that the specific interactions between EPEC and polydiacetylene vesicles. Conclusion A new aptasensor was developed successfully for rapid colorimetric detection of EPEC.
