Objective To construct adenovirus vector harboring CTLA4Ig-IRES-CTLA4 gene, and to express the gene in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMMSCs). Methods The cDNA fragments of CTLA4, and the extracellular domains of CTLA4 and IgGFc were cloned to pT-Easy vectors by RT-PCR from the activated splenocytes of Wistar rats. Recombinant adenovirus vector harboring CTLA4Ig-IRES-CTLA4 was produced from AdeasyTM Adenoviral Vector System by homologous recombination between the Adtrack vector (pAdtrack-GFP-CTLA4Ig-IRES-CTLA4) and the plasmid pAdEasy-1 containing most of the human adenovirus serotype 5 (Ad5) genome in E. coli BJ5183 strain, and then packaged and propagated in 293 cells. BMMSCs were infected with the recombinant adenovirus, and the co-expression of both CTLA4Ig and CTLA4 was then detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting. The immunosuppression function of the transfected BMMSCs was investigated by mixed lymphocyte response (MLR). Results Fusion gene CTLA4Ig was constructed successfully, and the recombinant CTLA4Ig-IRES-CTLA4 adenovirus was then generated by homologous recombination and packaged in 293 cells. The transduction efficiency of recombinant adenovirus in BMMSCs was elevated up to 98.67% determined by flow cytometry using a GFP as marker. CTLA4Ig and CTLA4 were expressed at the same time in BMMSCs detected by RT-PCR and Western blot, and the transfected stem cells showed stronger immunosuppression function than that of BMMSCs or BMMSCs transduced by Ad-CTLA4Ig. Conclusion The BMMSCs transfected by the recombinant adenovirus can co-express CTLA4Ig and CTLA4, which improved the immunosuppression function of BMMSCs in the way of costimulatory pathway blockade.

In constructing the system of medical functional teaching and enhancing the quality and ability of students,we adjust the content and method of teaching in practice,and try to find students'problems in study through questionnaire survey and promote teaching reform and disciplines construction.

BACKGROUND: Prevention of implant from inflammation was an effective method to reduce expulsion rate of stainless steel micro-screw implant, and develop new type of antibiotic material.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the cytotoxicity of a new type of antibiotic stainless steels.METHODS: Metal test samples (antibiotic stainless steel, medical stainless steel, and medial pure titanium) were made into rectangular solids with length of 15 mm × 10 mm × 3 mm. Samples were cleaned with high temperature and high pressure. Alloy leaching liquor was prepared with DMEM culture media according to the ratio betwean surface area and volume of culture solution (3 cm~2/mL). The leaching liquor was maintained in incubator at 37 ℃ for 96 hours, and then degerming was performed using microporous membrane. 6.4% phenol was added, which was considered as the positive control group, and DMEM culture media was considered as the blank control group. Growth of MG63 cells was observed under inverted phase contrast microscope;absorbanca of cells cultured for 24, 48, 72, 96, and 120 hours was detected using MTT test; cytotoxicity of antibiotic stainless steels was evaluated.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: ① At 24 hours after culture, calls in the positive control group was abnormal; while, cells in other groups were well adherent-grew. ② After 48 hours of culture, with the culture time increased,cytotoxicity was detected out in the positive control group; cells in other groups and blank control groups were normal and grew well. Afew of cells in stainless steels group showed karyopyknosis. ③ The absorbance was the highest of medical pure titanium, and then of antibiotic stainless steel and of medical stainless steel, while there was no significant difference between the three materials. ④ The level of cytotoxicity was grade 0. The results suggested that the antibiotic stainless steel which had the same cytotoxicity grade as medical stainless steel and pure titanium was in line with the requirement of its clinical application.

Objective To investigate the effects of different doses of propofor on ATP-sensitive K~+currents(I_KATP)in human atrial myocytes and the underlying mechsnism.Methods A small piece of myocardiumwas obtained from right atrium in patients undergoing atrial septal defect or ventricular septal defect surgery.Themyocardium specimen was placed in cold Ca~(2+)-free cardioplegic solution aerated with 100% oxygen.Themyocardium specimen was cut into small chunks(1 mm~3).Atrial myocytes were isolated by enzymatic dissociationtechnique.The effects of propofol on I_KATP in atrial myocytes were studied using the whole-cell configuration ofpatch-clamp technique.Results The outward currents were recorded with a pipitte solution containing 0.3mmol?L~(-1) ATP.The currents were inhibited by glibendamide 10 ?mol?L~(-1),a specific K_ATP channel inhibitor,suggesting that the outward currents were I_KATP.I_KATP aws activited by propofol in a dose-dependent manner.Conclusion Propefol can activate the I_KATP in human myocytes in a concentration-dependent manner and themechanism of its myocardial depressant action may be partly explained.

BACKGROUND:Coenzyme Q10 participates in the electron transport of respiratory chain and possesses antioxidant, anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties. It has achieved good outcomes in cardiovascular disease, diabetes and cancer. Coenzyme Q10 may also have a certain application value in the fields of diabetes and periodontitis. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of coenzyme Q10 on the expression of interleukin-17 and interleukin-23 in gingival tissue of type 2 diabetic rats with periodontitis.METHODS:Forty-eight healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control, periodontitis+ diabetes+physiological saline and periodontitis+diabetes+coenzyme Q10. Rats in the control group were fed with normal diet and water. Rats in the periodontitis+diabetes+physiological saline and periodontitis+diabetes+ coenzyme Q10 groups were subjected to induction of periodontitis using the method of silk ligation and type 2 diabetes by feeding a high-fat and high-sugar diet and intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin. After successful modeling, rats in the periodontitis+diabetes+coenzyme Q10 group were intragastricaly administered coenzyme Q10 for 8 successive weeks. Rats in the periodontitis+diabetes+physiological saline group were administered equal amount of physiological saline. At the end of 2nd, 4th and 8th weeks after drug administration, four rats were randomly selected and sacrificed. The expression levels of interleukin-17 and interleukin-23 in gingival tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At the end of 8th week, interleukin-17- and interleukin-23-positive expression in the periodontitis+diabetes+physiological saline group was significantly higher than that in the periodontitis+ diabetes+coenzyme Q10 group (P < 0.05). Coenzyme Q10 can reduce the expression levels of interleukin-17 and interleukin-23 in gingival tissue of type 2 diabetic rats with periodontitis, and aleviate periodontal tissue inflammation of type 2 diabetic rats with periodontitis.

Objective To establish an assessment model of financial risk exposure for the county-levelpublic hospitals in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region,which can be used to assess the risk exposure of the hospital in question,and as decision making reference for their financial management and risk prevention and control.Methods Using indicators standardized methods and entropy method to process 1 5 financial indicators (quantitative indicators and qualitative indicators )for the 20 public hospitals,and using the gray clustering method to assess financial risk exposure.Results 70% of the county-level public hospitals are faced with less financial risks,while four of them need to pay close attention,and two have large loopholes pending solution.Conclusions Entropy-Gray clustering methods can complement each other,as found in the study.This study proves its significance,and health authorities should establish their long-term financial risk control mechanisms.
