Objective To compare the immune protective effects of three antigens of Trichinella spiralis encapsulated larvae on mice.Methods The mice were immunized with Trichinella spiralis encapsulated larvae somatic antigen,encapsulated larva excretory-secretory antigen and encapsulated larva surface antigen,3 times with a 7-day interval,and the adjuvant control and normal control group were set up.Seven days after the final immunization,each mouse was orally challenged with 200 Trichinella spirais larvae.The intestinal adult worms and muscle larvae of Trichinella spiralis of each group were recoveried and examined on Day 7 and Day 30 post-challenge,respectively.The level of 8eruln IgG to antigens of Trichinella muscle muscle larvae wa8 detected by ELISA.Results The intestinal adult worms were reduced by 84.89%.89.73%,85.65%.2.57% in the encapsulated larva somatic,excretory-secretory and surface antigen groups,respectively.The muscle lalwae were reduced by 71.71%,80.98%,73.66%,5.60%, respectively.Adtlltwornl reduction rates(P<0.05) and musclelarva reduction rates(P<0.01) of the encapsulated larva excretory-secretory antigen group and surface antigen group were higher than those of encapsulated larva somatic antigen group.The antibody titers in all the immunized groups increased significantly.and the GMRT values of the encapsulated larva somatic,excretory-secretory and surface antigen groups were 32 798.89,3 474.51,2 984.83,respectively,and were 6.09,7.56,6.50 times higher than those of the normal control group(459.32).Conclusions Trichinella spiralis encapsulated larva antigens can induce strong resistance of host to a subsequent challenge infection.Among these antigens,excretory-secretory antigen is more immunogenic.

Aim To investigate the apoptosis of human gastric carcinoma AGS cells induced by cecropinXJ. Methods Human gastric carcinoma AGS cells and human normal epithelial cells GES-1 were co-cultured with different concentrations of cecropinXJ ranging from 0. 01 to 1 000 mg·L-1 for 24 h. MTT assay was used to observe the effects of cecropinXJ on the proliferation of AGS cells and GES-1 cells. The ultrastructural changes of the AGS cells were observed by transmission electron microscopy. Hoechst staining was used to de-tect cell apoptosis. The changes of intracellular reac-tive oxygen species ( ROS) and mitochondrial potential were analysed by flow cytometery. The expression of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3 and cytochrome C in mRNA level was investigated by qRT-PCR. Western blot was used to determine the protein expression of Bax, Bcl-2, caspase-3 and cytochrome C. Results CecropinXJ significantly suppressed the proliferation of AGS cells in vitro (P<0. 05) in a dose-dependent manner, IC50 =61. 19 mg·L-1 , but had no inhibitive effects on the proliferation of GES-1 cells. After treatment for 24 h, cecropinXJ induced AGS cells nuclear condensation, and increased ROS production, disrupted mitochondri-al integrity. The results of qRT-PCR and Western blot demonstrated cecropinXJ could up-regulate the expres-sion of Bax and down-regulate the expression of Bcl-2 , promote the release of cytochrome C and activate caspase-3. Meanwhile, cecropinXJ promoted caspase-3 activity in a dose-dependent manner, and cell death ratio of AGS cells induced by cecropinXJ was signifi-cantly reduced by caspase-3 and caspase-9 specific in-hibitors treatment. Conclusion CecropinXJ can in-duce apoptosis of AGS cells by downregulating Bcl-2 , upregulating Bax and activating caspase-3 , which may be one of its anti-tumor mechanisms.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the knowledge about hand hygiene among the outpatients and then take some valid methods to enhance their understanding about hand hygiene.METHODS By randomly asking patients from two departments in a level A of the tertiary hospital,one was a digestion and the other was a non-digestion department question designed by ourselves.The data were generally described by percentage and ?2 test with SPSS 6.0.RESULTS All the patients had not enough and correct hand hygiene knowledge from both two groups.The patients from digestion department paid more attention on their hand hygiene than from non-digestion one.The most patients from both two groups thought they needed to know more about hand hygiene and hospital should equipped with some fast hands cleaning instruments.CONCLUSIONS It is a very important duty for nurses to explain and publicize more about general hygiene and show patients how to clean their hands in order to decrease hospital infection.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of video-assisted thoracoscopic surgery(VATS)for spontaneous pneumothorax.Methods From January 2003 to June 2006,VATS was carried out in 61 cases of spontaneous pneumothorax in our hospital.Resection or ligatation of pulmonary bullae,and pleurodesis were performed by using Endo-GIA.Results Among the cases,unilateral VATS was performed on 58 patients(an axillary small incision was made in one case),and bilateral VATS was done in 3.No conversion to open surgery or severe postoperative complications occurred in this series.Pulmonary bullae was detected in 56 of all the patients.The operation time was 35-55 min(mean,46 min)for unilateral VATS,and was 85,175,and 190 min respectively for the 3 cases of bilateral VATS.The mean blood loss for unilateral operation was 40 ml(range,30-45 ml),and the blood loss in the 3 cases of bilateral VATS was 55,60,and 200 ml.The thoracic-drainage volume was 230-500 ml(mean,390 ml)in the unilateral cases,and was 350,1030,and 1200 respectively in the 3 bilateral cases.The drainage tube was withdrawn 3-6 d(mean 4 d)later in the unilateral cases,and 3,4,and 5 d later in the 3 bilateral cases.The 61 patients were followed up for 4-24 mon(mean,8 mon),during which one patient experienced recurrent pneumothorax in 2 months and was cured by closed thoracic drainage.Conclusions VATS is safe and effective for patients with spontaneous pneumothorax.

Objective To investigate whether there are correlations between working memory impairmentand fractional anisotropy values and to explore the neuropathology underlying that the patients of depression suffered from memory impairment.Methods Thirty depression patients and 30 healthy controls group-matched by age,educational level were conducted the study.Mean correct reaction time(mRT)was recorded when they performed a One-Back Working Memory Task and fractional anisotropy(FA)values was recorded when they performed the diffusion tensor imaging.Statistics analysis was done respectively for mRT and FA values between two groups.Results Relative to mean correct reaction time((612.45±54.08)ms)of controls,the mean correct reaction time ((720.25±57.02)ms)of patients with depression was much longer(P＜0.05)and the patients with depression had a lower FA values in the white matter of both frontal lobe,anterior cingulate gyrus,supramarginal gyrus,splenium of corpus callosum(P＜0.05),and the FA values in the white matter of both frontal lobe were significantly negative correlated with mRT(r=-0.604,P＜0.05).Conclusion The impairment of white matter region may be one of the neuropathology underlying that the depression patients suffer from memory impairment.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of NEOVEIL in postoperative pulmonary air leakage of pulmonary bullae resection by video-assisted thoracic surgery. Methods We retrospectively analyzed clinical data of 37 cases received NEOVEIL combined with ATB45 in video-assisted thoracic surgery (the NEOVEIL group), and clinical data of 40 cases by ATB45 alone(the control group) . We compared postoperative hospitalization time, keeping time of pleural cavity tubes, the pulmonary leakage time and the incidence of pulmonary infection in the two groups. Results There was no postoperative mechanical ventilation,hemothorax and death. In the NEOVEIL group, the postoperative hospitalization time was 5 to 9 days, the postoperative keeping time of pleural cavity tubes 2 to 4 days, the postoperative pulmonary leakage time 0 to 2 days with 4 patients un-leakage, and 1 patients with pulmonary infection; whereas the postoperative hospitalization time was 6 to 10 days,the postoperative keeping time of pleural cavity tubes 3 to 6 days,the postoperative pulmonary leakage time 2 to 5 days and 8 patients with pulmonary infection in the control group. There was statistical significance in the postoperative hospitalization time, keeping time of pleural cavity tubes, the pulmonary leakage time and the incidence of pulmonary inflammation in two groups(P ＜ 0. 05). The incidence of pulmonary inflammation of the NEOVEIL group (2. 7%) was significantly lower than that of the control group(20. 0%)(x2 = 4. 02, P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusion The operative effectiveness of the NEOVEIL group is better than that of the control group. The NEOVEIL can prevent the postoperative pulmonary leakage.

Purpose To investigate the expression of RNF2 in breast disease tissues and cell lines,and to analyze the association between expression of RNF2 and clinicopathological characteristics in breast carcinoma.Methods Expression of RNF2 protein and mRNA levels was detected using immunohistochemistry of EnVision two-step and qRT-PCR in breast carcinoma and benign breast disease as well as in cell lines.Results RNF2 expression was sigmificantly higher in breast carcinoma tissue specimens compared with benign breast disease specimens (P ＜0.05).Besides,the expression of RNF2 protein was significantly associated to tumor size,lymph node status and TNM stage (P ＜ 0.05 for both),but was not related to age,histological grade,the expression of ER,PR and HER-2 (P ＞ 0.05 for both).Higher expression of RNF2 mRNA was detected in breast carcinoma cell lines compared with breast epithelial cell lines (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion RNF2 is overexpressed in breast carcinoma and can be a potential therapeutic target for breast carcinoma.

Background The application of mesenchymal stem cells to transfer specific genes is under investigation in various diseases.Using this strategy may provide a more effective method to supply exogenous neurotrophic factors to the cental nervous system,including retina.Objective This study was to construct ciliary neurotrophic factor(CNTF)-overexpressing bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) using lentiviral vectors.Methods Rat secreted-CNTF gene cDNA was synthesized and subcloned into a lentiviral vector plasmid pHⅣ-dTomato to construct recombinant vector CNTF-dTomato.CNTF-dTomato/pH Ⅳ-dTomato plasmid were co-transfected into 293T packaging cell line with packaging plasmid psPAX2 and enveloped plasmid pMD.2G to produce recombinant lentivirus CNTF-lenti and control-lenti.Rat BMSCs were infected with CNTF-lenti/control-lenti to produce CNTF-BMSCs and control-BMSCs.Expression of dTomato and efficiency of infection was evaluated under the fluorescence microscope.Uninfected BMSCs(pure BMSCs) served as the blank control.CNTF protein level in the supernate was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and compared among the blank-BMSCs group,control-BMSCs group and CNTF-BMSCs group.Adipogenic and osteogenic differentiation of CNTF-BMSCs were induced using adipogenic-inducible medium and osteogenic-inducible medium and identified using oil-red O staining and alizarin red S (ARS) staining.Results After CNTF-dTomato plasmid was transfected into Stbl3 competent cells,the colony PCR product was 1 033 bp.The inserted sequence in the pHⅣ-dTomato plasmid was coincident with the expected one.The results of DNA sequencing showed that CNTF-dTomato plasmid was successfully constructed.The infection rate of CNTF-lenti was approximately 95％.ELISA showed that on the post-infected day 2,3,7,the CNTF protein levels in the supernate were significantly higher in the CNTF-BMSCs group than those in the blankBMSCs group and control-BMSCs group (all at P=0.000).In the CNTF-BMSCs group,the CNTF protein levels in the supernate were significantly increased on post-infected day 2,3,7 compared with day 1 (P =0.013,0.004,0.042).The adipogenic-induced cells showed the red staining to oil red O,and osteogenic-induced cells presented the orange staining to ARS.Conclusions BMSC line with stable expression of CNTF is successfully established by lentiviral vectors.CNTF-BMSCs have the potential to differentiate towards adipocytes and osteoblasts.
