The separation and purification of beta chains of globm from the inbreeding SMMC/B mice were performed by the dissociation of chains in urea, CMhcellulose column chromatography for the separation of alpha and beta chains, and Sephadex G25 column chromatography for removing salts. The pure beta-chain was digested by trypsin. Digested fragments were resolved by cellulose membrane two-way electrophoresis, thus obtaining the map of spots of beta-chain fragments for B33, B34, Bp(), Bp and Bf. The spots,BTp3, which have the same positions ,were separated and micro-sequences were assayed by DABITC/PITC double coupling technique. According to the genetic code, we might deduce the nucleotide sequence of their mRNA from the known amino acid sequence of BTp3, a piece of beta-chain. By analyzing the altered genetic loci of beta-chain of globin, we might determine the genetic purity of the strain and distinguish objectively the genetic types between species and subspecies.

This study represents the first description of structural variations in the globin beta chains of 19 strains of inbred mice. The trypic pep tide mapping of beta chains of globin from BALB/c, BALB/cA, BALB/cJ, BALBcJ-nu, BALB/nu/ + ,BALB/cyJax,B10,B10A/sui,C57BL/6,C57BL/10snJ,SMMC/B,SMMC/C, C3H/He, CFW, DBA/2,SWI,Swars/nu/+,SSB and 129/sv strains of mice was established. The results showed that the position of peptide spots upon fingerprint mapping of beta chains was obviously different in comparison with each other. The different patterns of variability and polymorphism found in the various mouse species may then have come into being as a consequence of the action of selective forces on the various new beta chains which were created by some exchange processes.

Objective To evaluate the influence of transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE) with Alginate microsphere-Adriamycin on angiogenesis in VX2 liver tumor. Methods Thirty New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into 5 groups (each n=6), and VX2 carcinoma was implanted in the left lobes of the livers. TACE was performed with Alginate microsphere (Group A), Alginate microsphere-Adriamycin (Group B), Lipiodol (Group C), Lipiodol-Adriamycin (Group D), and control group (Group E), respectively. Three weeks later, the animals were killed and the samples were evaluated with immunohistochemical reaction to examine the VEGF expression and MVD count. Results The positive rate of VEGF expression was 66.67%, 50.00%, 100%, 83.33% and 66.67% respectively in five groups (P>0.05). MVD count was 55.36±7.02, 41.27±8.45, 82.42±6.23, 67.81±11.42 and 62.46±7.54 respectively in five groups. MVD value of group C was higher than that of group A and group B (P<0.05); of group B was lower than that of group D (P<0.05). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed a correlation coefficient of 0.726 between VEGF and MVD (P<0.01). Conclusion TACE with Alginate microsphere-Adriamycin can reduce VEGF expression and MVD of VX2 liver tumor in rabbits, but the possibility of tumor blood vessels rapid occlusion and therefore resulting in tumor necrosis can not be ruled out.

Result Bubble sound of grade IV were recorded at the precordial regions after decompression.Among them,75%~100% incurred DCS with a diverse extent. Animals developed DCS showed vascular spasm,dysfunction and endothelial tumefaction.Conclusion Each of the 11 kinds of animals can serve as a model of DCS and the processes of development of DCS in various animals are similar.Blood vessels are the target organs of decompression sickness.

Objective To investigate the role of Calcineurin binding protein 1(Cabin1)in renal tubular epithelial cells(RTECs)injury. Methods The male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into Sham-oper-ated and 5/6 nephrectomized group. Nephrectomized rats were further divided into two groups ,which were 4 and 8 weeks after operation,including 6 rats in each group. Rats were sacrificed at 4 or 8 weeks after nephrectomy,then control or remnant kidneys were harvested. 2μm sections of kidney tissues were collected and stained with Masson's trichrome and were graded for tubulointerstitial lesion score (TILS). RTECs mitochondrial morphology changes were detected by electron microscope. Western blot was applied to detect Cabin1 protein level in the renal tissue. Results At 8 weeks after the operation,plenty of RTECs fell off from the basement membrane,accompanied with interstitial fibrosis and the infiltration of inflammatory cells. Moreover ,TILS were significantly increased in rats at 8 weeks after operation while compared to sham-operated rats(7.16 ± 0.52 vs. 0.00 ± 0.00,P<0.05). RTECs mi-tochondria begun to swell at 4 weeks after 5/6 nephrectomy,while the disruption of cristae could be found in rats at 8 weeks. Cabin1 protein expression apparently increased in the remnant kidney. Cabin1 protein obviously increased in rats at 8 weeks after the surgery compared to sham-operated rats(0.97 ± 0.09 vs. 0.22 ± 0.07,P<0.05)and rats at 4 weeks after nephrectomy(0.97 ± 0.09 vs. 0.45 ± 0.03,P<0.05). Conclusions Cabin1 is overexpressed during RTECs injury in 5/6 nephrectomized rats. It can be a crucial factor regulating the damage of RTECs.

Objective:To investigate the efficacy and safety of Treprostinil in the treatment of children with early decompensation after the Fontan procedure.Methods:A retrospectively analysis was performed on the clinical data of 16 children with early decompensation after the Fontan procedure treated with Treprostinil injection from December 2017 to June 2020 at Fuwai Central China Cardiovascular Hospital.A total of 16 patients were included, including 5 boys (31.2%) and 11 girls (68.8%). The age was (4.6 ±1.2) years, the weight was (16.0±2.1) kg.The changes of central venous pressure (CVP), heart rate (HR), systolic blood pressure (SBP), central venous oxygen saturation (ScvO 2), lactic acid (Lac), oxygenation index and B-type natriuretic peptide (BNP) were recorded at the infusion of Treprostinil and 3 hours, 24 hours, 48 hours and 72 hours after the infusion.The short-term efficacy of Treprostinil was observed[mortality, mechanical ventilation time, and length of intensive care unit (ICU) stay]; paired t-test was used to analyze the above indexes at different time points.The adverse reactions during the administration were also recorded. Results:Of the 16 children, the median mechanical ventilation time was 9 (5, 22) h, and the median ICU stay time was 2 (1, 12)days.After 72 hours of drug administration, CVP, Lac, BNP and HR decreased: CVP decreased from(16±5) mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) to (11±2) mmHg ( P<0.001), Lac decreased from(6.8±3.2) mmol/L to (3.2±1.2) mmol/L ( P=0.002), BNP decreased from(980±223) ng/L to (250±120) ng/L( P<0.001), HR decreased from(150±20) times/min to (125±16) times/min( P=0.002); SBP, ScvO 2 and oxygenation index increased: SBP increased from(83±10) mmHg to (98±12) mmHg( P<0.001), ScvO 2 increased from 0.53±0.13 to 0.65±0.11 ( P=0.003), oxygenation index increased from (200±72) mmHg to (298±13) mmHg ( P<0.001), and the differences were statistically significant(all P< 0.05). One case died (6.3%), 2 cases (12.5%) had transient blood pressure drop and 1 case (6.3%) had nausea and vomiting.Besides, no other treatment-related complications were observed. Conclusions:As for children with early decompensation after the Fontan procedure, the intravenous application of Treprostinil can reduce pulmonary artery pressure rapidly, effectively improve circulatory status and oxygenation and ultimately improve the prognosis.
