A molecularly imprinted film ( MIF) was prepared on the surface plasmon resonance ( SPR) sensor chip for the detection of testosterone. The nanometer imprinted film was synthesized by surface grafting approach. First, the gold sensor chip was modified with an iniferter of benzyl diethyldithiocarbamate to create the “grafting from” polymeric surface. Grafting of the MIF onto the SPR chip was subsequently achieved through ultraviolet light-initiated copolymerization of methacrylic acid ( functional monomer ) and ethylene glycol dimethacrylate ( crosslinker ) in the presence of testosterone as a model template. The template molecules were then removed to form a MIF with specific recognition sites for testosterone. With this iniferter technique , self-aggregation in the reaction solution phase was avoided and grafting polymerization was confined to the exterior of the chip surface. The grafting process was implemented by in situ monitoring with SPR, which permitted the thickness of the film to be easily and strictly controlled. The chip surface modified with a testosterone-imprinted film was characterized by the methods of polarization modulation infrared reflection absorption spectroscopy ( PM-IRRAS ) and atomic force microscopy ( AFM ) . According to the results, testosterone-imprinted film modification of the SPR chip was achieved by the distribution of numerous homogeneous, nanoscale holes on the surface. The testosterone-imprinted film was applied on a SPR sensor chip for the detection of testosterone in the range of 2 . 5 í 10-16 to 2 . 5 í 10-6 mol/L in acetonitrile with the lowest determining concentration of 2. 5 í 10-16 mol/L. Adsorption experiments showed that there were two kinds of binding sites in the MIF, and the linear correlations between the changes in reflectivity and the concentration of testosterone were y=19. 69 + 1. 21x(R2=0. 9913) and y=11. 5 + 0. 45x(R2=0. 9895), respectively. Control experiments utilizing estradiol, estriol, and progesterone as analogues showed impressive selectivity and specificity for testosterone determination. The testosterone-imprinted film reproducibility was evaluated with five cycles of rinsing-rebinding and the RSD was 16 . 8% and 11 . 2% for the SPR angle changes in rinsing and rebinding respectively, demonstrating that the MIF-modified SPR sensor had good reproducibility and repeatability. Finally, the SPR sensor was successfully used to determine testosterone in artificial urine samples with recoveries from 85 . 2% to 92 . 8%.

ObjectiveTo analyze the clinical features of tertiary hyperparathyroidism. MethodsThe data including symptoms, past history, bone and joint X-ray, bone mass density, bone SPECT, blood routine, serum calcium, phosphorus, alkaline phosphatase, parathyroid hormone ( PTH), as well as parathyroid ultrasonic or CT,parathyroid ECT, and parathyroid pathology were collected from seven patients with tertiary hyperparathyroidism.ResultsThe first symptom in 6 patients was bone ache, one of them was thirsty, and 1 patient had fracture. Four patients had past history of gallbladder stone or renal stone. Four subjects presented with osteoporosis and 2 of them had fractures. All 7 patients suffered from hypercalcaemia, along with high PTH level, 6 with hypophosphataemia and 6 with high alkaline phosphatase level. The enlarged parathyroid glands were detected in five patients by ultrasonic or CT. Tc99 scans of parathyroid gland revealed hyperfunctioning nodes in 3 subjects. Six patients were operated, and pathological results showed adenoma in parathyroid gland in 5 patients and adenocarcinoma in 1 patient. Serum calcium and PTH levels returned to normal in all the operated patients.ConclusionsPatients who present bone ache, osteoporosis, spontaneous fracture, past history of gallbladder stone or renal stone, high serum calcium, and PTH levels, should be aware of the probability of tertiary hyperparathyroidism. The confirmed diagnosis depends on pathological result.

Objective To identify the miR-122 which regulateing GATA4 expression during the induction of rat bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (bMSCs) differentiating into cardiomyocyte-like cells. Methods BMSCs were isolat-ed from bone marrow and induced to differentiate into cardiomyocyte-like cells using 5-azacytidine. The miR-122 which may regulate expression of GATA4 were predicted using miRanda and TargetScan softwares and identified by dual luciferase report system. The expressions of miR-122 and GATA4 were determined using q-PCR during the differentiation of bMSCs into cardiomyocyte-like cells. Results The induced cells were completely in contacted with adjoining cells and uniform in shape and aligned parallelly. Cardiac troponin I (cTnI) expression was detected by immunofluorescence cytochemistry. Using dual luciferase reporter system in vitro, miR-122 were proved to be able to effectively inhibit GATA4 expression by binding the 3′UTR of GATA4 mRNA. q-PCR results showed that the expression of miR-122 is negatively correlated with that of GATA4 mRNA transcription. Conclusion These results indicated that miR-122 regulate the expression of GATA4 during the induction of cardiomyocyte-like cells.

Objective To evaluate the effect of continuous adenosine infusion on mesentery microcirculation during cardiopulmonary resuscitation in rats with asphyxia. Methods Rat model of asphyxia was established in 22 healthy Wistar rats. The animals were then randomly divided into normal saline group (group A, n=10), epinephrine group (group B, n=6) and epinephrine plus adenosine group (group C, n=6). After a 3-min asphyxia without intervention, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) was started. The cardiac compression was carried out with an electric cardio-pulmonary resuscitation machine (200 times/min). Respiration was restored and maintained with a ventilator with tidal volume of 4ml, breathing rate 50times/min and FiO2 100%. After a 4-min CPR, rats in group A and group B were given normal saline and epinephrine (bolus of 90?g/kg) respectively, and in group C epinephrine (bolus of 90?g/kg) plus 70?g/kg adenosine were given. Electric defibrillation would be initiated if there was ventricular fibrillation. The reperfusion rate of mesentery arterioles and venules, diameter of blood vessels and relative blood velocity were observed. Results The reperfusion rate of mesentery arterioles and venules was significantly higher in group C than in group B (P
