Objective To investigate the change in the content of intracellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)in myocardium of rats at different time courses after exhausted exercise.Methods One hundred male SD rats were divided into sedentary control group,single bout of exhausted exercise group and 14-day consecutive exhausted exercise group.Rats were killed at 0.6,1 2 and 24 hours after exhausted exercise.Immunofluorescence technique and image analysis method were used to study the dynamic changes in the content of ICAM-1 in myocardium.Results Comparing with the control group,following these 2 modes of exhausted exercise,the content of ICAM-1 in rat myocardium increased and reached its peak value 6 hours after exercise,and then decreased,and ICAM-1 content in all other time courses were significantly increased(P<0.01)after exhaustive exercise,except 24h after exercise group (P>0.05).ICAM-1 content from different parts of myocardium immediately after consecutive exhausted exercise was significantly higher than that after single bout of exhausted exercise (P<0.01),and the differences disappeared 6 hours after exercise(P>0.05).ICAM-1 content in 12-and 24-hour single bout of exhausted exercise groups was significantly higher than that in consecutive exhausted exercise groups(P<0.01).Conclusion The increase of ICAM-1 level in myocardium after difierent modes of exhausted exercise can activate cytokine,mediate inflammatory responses of myocytes,such as adhesion and infiltration,which contribute to the exercise-induced myocardial micro-injury.

Objective To explore the angioarchitectrue characteristics and appropriate treatment strategies of dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) in foramen magnum region.Methods The clinical data of patients with DAVF diagnosed by digital subtraction angiography (DSA) were analyzed retrospectively.Results Thirteen patients intraoperative were found fistula and complete resection,patients discharged from hospital,DSA check showed that the DAVF fistula completely disappeared,all patients symptoms were improved to different extents.Conclusions The clinical features,prognosis and treatment methods of DAVF in forament magnum region depends on its angioarchitecture,especially the lesion site and venous drainage,surgical operation can usually find the fistula and can be completely removed.

The paper describes the basis, scope, and contents of the index system for assessing maternity and child care institutions in Beijing. The new system, based on the readjustment, recombination and redistribution of the original index system for assessment, has two newly added elements, viz. financial position analysis and leadership style and organization culture. In order to make a distinction between leaders' responsibilities and an institution's orientations and to reduce behavior abnormality and information bias in the process of assessment, the new system has been divided into two major parts: evaluation of the institution's conditions for survival and capabilities for development, which is jointly decided by internal and external factors, and appraisal of the institution's performance, which is decided mainly by internal factors.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells have beneficial effects on the treatment of various diseases. Mitochondria transfer is newly proposed and its specific mechanisms of action and control factors remain unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To review the studies about stem cells and mitochondrial transfer, then to discuss its value on clinical.
METHODS:The PubMed, VIP and Wanfang databases were searched for related articles concerning stem cells and mitochondrial transfer. Key words were“stem cell, embryonic stem cell, progenitor cell, mitochondria”in Chinese and“Stem cell[s], Mother cell[s], Progenitor cell[s], Colony-Forming Unit[s], Colony Forming Unit[s], Mitochondria[l] transfer”in English. Thirteen articles were found initial y, and using the citation tracking method, final y 42 articles were determined. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Studies have shown that mitochondrial transfer from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells is associated with rescue of aerobic respiration and restoration of mitochondrial function in the injured somatic cells. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells and recipient cells form tunneling nanotubes for mitochondrial transfer. Movement of mitochondria between cells is regulated and directed by Miro1. The successful transfer of mitochondria may be accompanied with the clearance of damaged mitochondria. The rescue of mitochondrial function in early stages may provide a valuable therapeutic strategy for various diseases include acute lung injury.

There is a new research model named 'registry study/patient registry' in Western medicine, which could be referred to by Chinese medicine researchers, such as active safety surveillance. This article will introduce registry study from different aspects as the developing history, features, and application in order to inform Chinese medicine researchers of future studies.

Background and purpose:Stromal tumor is one of the common gastrointestinal mesenchymal tumors. There is certain understanding about the typical cases. However, the diagnosis of those occurring in rare location or with rare imaging findings is often difficult. This research summarized this kind of cases,in order to increase the radiological knowledge of the disease.Methods:This study retrospectively analyzed clinical, radiological and pathological data from 550 patients who had stromal tumor conifrmed by pathology in our hospital. Those with incomplete data were eliminated. Forty-nine patients were selected for further study according to the typical imaging findings.Results:Among these 49 patients, 9 were pathologically confirmed to have extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor, while 40 patients had gastrointestinal stromal tumor. Among the patients with gastrointestinal stromal tumor, 22 were found in rare locations, 12 in retroperitoneal space, 3 in omentum majus and mesenterium, 5 in esophagus, and 2 in prostate. Obvious cystic degeneration was found in 16 patients. Bulky calciifcation, such as lfake or annulus, was found in 7 patients. The analysis result of risk-stratiifcation showed 19 patients were conifrmed as high-grade among the patients with tumors found in rare locations, 15 as high grade among those with obvious cystic degeneration, and 7 as high-grade among those with extra-gastrointestinal stromal tumor.Conclusion:Rare stromal tumor often occurs in the locations, such as retroperitoneal space, omentum majus and mesenterium. Obvious cystic degeneration and bulky calciifcation can be seen. The risk-stratiifcation of these patients often showed high-grade. Comprehensively analyzing its clinical features and imaging ifndings can help improve the diagnostic accuracy.

Objective To find an ideal method of DNA isolation from blood and especially from clotted blood and to minimize the volume of blood collected for laboratory and clinical tests.Methods DNAs were isolated from antiagglutinated and agglutinated blood samples from auricular veins of 30 healthy subjects. The DNAs of these samples were obtained by a nonenzymatic, nontoxic procedure optimized by us and determinated by agarose gel electrophoesis and PCR. Results The yields of DNA isolated from clotted blood and antiagglutinated blood were (40.2?8.86)mg DNA/L and (39.1?10.2)mg DNA/L, and purities were 1.87?0.11 and 1.92? 0.12. The DNAs that we isolated from all samples had high molecular weight and by PCR the dimorphism of ALU alleles of the 8th intron of t-PA was easy to be obtained, so they were complete and reliable. Conclusion This method is rapid, easy, efficient and nontoxic for isolation of DNA from clotted and fresh blood and meets requirements for clinical testing and molecular biology study.
