Objective: To study the effects of recombinant human Chondromodulin-I protein in treatment of osteosarcoma. Methods: Human Chondromodulin-I gene was amplified from cartilage tissue by RT-PCH and was cloned into pro-caryotic expression vector Pet28a( + ). The recombinant plasmid Pet( CHM-I) was transformed into E. coll BL21 ( DE3 ) ; the product was fused with 6 ?His at N-terminal and was purified by Ni2 +2NTA ion exchange resin. The formation of tube-like cellular networks was assayed by co-incubation of HUVECs and recombinant human (Chondromodulin-I. The proliferation of the cells incubated with the recombinant human Chondromodulin-I protein was examined by MTT assay and cell number counter Null mice received local injection of recombinant human Chondromodulin-I protein into the tumors. Results: Rcombinant human CHM-I protein was successfully obtained. The purified CHM-I did not inhibit the proliferation of tumour cells,but inhibited the formation of tubelike cellar network in vitro and tumor growth. Conclusion:Recom-bitant human Chondromodulin-I protein can inhibit angiogenesis in vitro and growth of tumor in vivo.

BACKGROUND:Preterm premature rupture of the membrane is a frequent complication during gestational period. Three-dimensional culture can help damaged tissue restore anatomical integrality,being worth for clinical application. OBJECTIVE:To explore biological characteristics of human amniotic cells three-dimensionally cultured by fibrin scaffold,study the possibility of cell/scaffold composite material for repairing preterm premature rupture of the membrane,and to compare with normal monolayer culture. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:An in vitro cell/scaffold study was performed at the Basic Institute of Chongqing University of Medical Science between December 2007 and November 2008. MATERIALS:Amnion tissue derived from uterine-incision delivery women was provided by the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology,the First Affiliated Hospital,Chongqing University of Medical Sciences;fibrinogen was provided by Sigma,USA. METHODS:Either epithelial cells or mesenchymal cells,being isolated from human amniotic membrane,were cultivated using enzyme digestion and repeated adherence methods. Fibrinogen was conglomerated,and epithelial cells of logarithmic growth were plated onto the surface of fibrin scaffold to simulate a three-dimensional culture in vitro. Before conglomerating fibrinogen,mesenchymal cells of logarithmic growth were mixed with fibrin solution to simulate a three-dimensional culture in vivo. In addition,either epithelial cells or mesenchymal cells were incubated onto 24-well plate for normal monolayer culture. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Cell morphology using inverted microscopy,proliferation of mesenchymal cells,and interaction between mesenchymal cells and scaffold under different culture environments. RESULTS:Epithelial cells were round and smooth on the surface of fibrin scaffold,pseudopodia were stretched out,and microvillus were rich. Mesenchymal cells in fibrin glue were fusiform in shape and stretched out along scaffold. Cells formed net structure at different surfaces. By three-dimensional culture,proliferation of mesenchymal cells was stable but slow compared to monolayer culture. By in vivo three-dimensional culture,fibrin glue gradually shrank and gel thickness gradually decreased. On the 5th day,the gel thickness was only 40% for the initial thickness,and on the 15th day,gel thickness was 10%. CONCLUSION:Both epithelial cells and mesenchymal cells can sterically grow on fibrin scaffold,and the proliferation is stable. Fibrin glue gradually shrinks in cell/fibrin composite scaffold,suggesting that amniotic cells/fibrin composite scaffold can simulate body tissues to repair preterm premature rupture of the membrane.

Objective To investigate the predictive value of C-reactive protein(CRP)and serum calcium in the patients with acute pancreatitis(AP).Methods 85 cases of AP in our hospital from January to December 2013 were selected as the study subjects,in-cluding 40 cases of mild acute pancreatitis(MAP)and 45 cases of severe acute pancreatitis(SAP).40 cases of normal volunteers were selected as the control group.The levels of serum calcium and CRP were detected in the three groups by the automatic bio-chemical analyzer and turbidimetric immunoassay.Results The levels of serum calcium in the MAP and SAP groups was on the low side and significantly lower than that in the control group,but which in the MAP group were higher than that in the SAP group,the differences were statistically significant(P <0.05).The level of serum CRP in the MAP group and SAP group was high-er than that in the control group,and which in the SAP group was higher than that in the MAP group,the difference was statistical-ly significant(P <0.05).The level of serum calcium on the third after admission in the MAP and SAP groups was significantlyin-creased compared with the day of admission(P <0.05),but the levels of CRP in the MAP and SAP groups were significantly de-creased,the difference was statistically significant(P <0.05).The CRP detection was more in clinic,but the experiment indicating that simultaneous detection of serum CRP and calcium could significantly increase the accuracy,sensitivity and specificity of clinical judgement,the difference had statistical significance(P <0.05).Conclusion Serum calcium and CRP can be used as the predictive indexes for the condition progression and prognosis of acute pancreatitis and their joint examination can improve the sensitivity,spe-cificity and accuracy of the detection.

Objective To study the time-dependent changes and mechanisms of auditory cortex in prelingual sensorineural hearing loss. Methods Two groups (9-12, 19-22-year-old) of hearing-loss patients and matched normal hearing subjects received MR diffusion and MRS examination. The ROI for ADC measurement were placed on the Heschl gyrus (HG), and for NAA/Cr, Cho/Cr on the superior temporal gyrus(STG). Results There was no statistical difference among groups both in the NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr (P>0.05), Left side NAA/Cr 2.46±0.51, 2.49±0.52, 2.26±0.33;Right side NAA/Cr 2.26±0. 46, 2. 44±0. 45, 2. 27±0. 46. Left side Cho/Cr 0. 88±0. 21,0. 92±0. 18, 0. 87±0. 13 ; Right side Cho/Cr 0. 88 ± 0. 18, 0. 87 ± 0. 22, 0. 81 ± 0. 16. There was statistical difference of ADC value among normal hearing subjects and 9-12, 19-22-year-old hearing-loss patients(F = 4. 42, P < 0. 05, F = 11.37,P<0. 05). There was significant difference of ADC value between normal hearing and 19-22 year-oldhearing-loss (q = - 44. 89, P = 0. 008, q = - 54. 28, P = 0. 027) on both left and right HG, and there wassignificant difference between normal hearing and 9-12 year-old hearing-loss only on right HG (q =- 32. 54, P = 0. 000), Left side (860 ± 103), (885 ± 48), (905±77) mm<'2>/s, Right side (848 ± 73),(880 ± 61), (902 ± 52) mm2/s. Conclusion Compared with the normal hearing, the ADC value increased in 20-year-length of deafness. The NAA/Cr and Cho/Cr of STG showed no changes among the three groups.

Objective To observe the regulation effect of transforming growth factor alpha(TGFα) on expression of glutamate transporter(GLAST)and ingestion activity of retinal M(u)ller cells in mice.Methods To take the retinal tissue of Kunming mouse at postnatal 7～10 day.and then cultured M(u)ller cells according to literature.The 3～4 generation cultured cells of the same primary cell were divided into two groups at random:①TGFα group:maintained in different concentrations of TGFα as 50,75,125 and 150 ng/ml,3 holes in each concentration;②Control group:cultured by Eagle culture medium which improved from Dulbeccon and contained 20%fetal calf serum.The influence of different concentrations TGFα on GLAST activity in M(u)ller cells were observed by L-3H-glutamate uptake detection;the expression of GLAST mRNA in M(u)ller cells was determined by RT-PCR;the expression of GLAST protein was detected with immunocytochemical staining.Results With the increase of TGFα concentration.both L-3H-glutamate uptake and GLAST mRNA expression were increased.The L-3H-glutamate accumulation had got to the maximum uptake at concentration of 125 ng/ml,which was 266% of that in control group,meanwhile,the expressions of GLAST mRNA also got to the maximum as 4 times of control group.Immunocytochemical staining indicated that the effect of 125ng/ml TGFα on expression of GLAST protein was higher than that in the control group,the differences between two groups were statistically significant(P＜0.05).Conclusion TGF-α can increase GLAST activity through up-regulating the expression of GLAST mRNA and protein.

Objective To compare the bacterial community profiles present in periodontium and root canals of the same tooth diagnosed as combined periodontal-endodontic lesions by using denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE).Methods Samples were collected from 13 extracted teeth with advanced periodontitis,endodontic samples from root tip 1/3 root canal,and periodontal samples from the corresponding neighboring periodontium.Genomic DNA was collected for the following universal bacterial primersPCR.The PCR products were then loaded on the DGGE gels to gain separate bands.The typical DGGE bands were excised,PCR-cloned and sequenced.Results The number of bands,which was indicative of the number of bacterial species,was compared intra-group (periodontal and pulpal specimen from the same tooth).The difference was statistically significant (P＜0.01),but there was no positive correlation between them.The similarity (Dice Coefficient) between them was 13.1％-62.5％.Taxa identified through BLAST (≥98％ identity) were Campylobacter,Fusobacterium,Neisseria,et al in the periodontium,and Mogibacterium,Corynebacterium,Actinomyces,et al in the root canals.Conclusion Common bacteria existed between them,but not all of the periodontal bacteria would appear in neighboring root canal; and the bacteria in the root canal are not completely from neighboring periodontal tissue.The original bacteria in the root canals may resuscitate and enrich the bacterial community.In combined periodontal-endodontic lesions (periodontal source),it is probable that new species existed to be confirmed either in the periodontium or in the root canal.

Objective To evaluate the influence of empowerment education on self-management ability and self-efficacy of patients with coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods 190 patients with CHD were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group.And all patients were trained respectively according to corresponding health education plan of each group by professional worker.These patients filled out the Essential Information Questionnaire (EIQ),Self-Efficacy Integration Scale (SEIS) and Coronary Artery Disease Self-management Scale(CSMS) at baseline,3 months and 6 months after health education.The clinical indexes in two groups such as body mass index,waistline,blood pressure,blood glucose and blood lipid were contrasted.Results The score of self-management ability and the score of self-efficacy in the experimental group was significantly more than that of the control group in 3 months and 6 months after health education,and this difference between two groups still persisted 6 months after health education.However,the score of symptom-maintaining in the SEIS and self-management of addiction,emergency,lifestyle and knowledge of diseases in the CSMS appeared to drop in the control group.Conclusions Empowerment education can significantly improve and increase the self-management ability and self-efficacy of patients with CHD,and this function of empowerment education was proved more enduring than that of traditional health education.So,empowerment education will be a new style of health education in the new model of clinical medicine instead of traditional health education.

Objective To explore the clinic effect of marvelon and estrogen on puberty dysfunctional uterine bleeding.Methods 50 patients were evaluated inclouding 20 patients treated by estrogen in estrogen(E) group and 30 patients treated by marvelon in progestin and estrogen(PE) group.Results The time when bleeding was stoped completely were (21.65?9.62) hours in E group and (13.68?5.67) hours in PE group(P

Objective:To explore the effect of different pregnancy termination timings on the delivery safety of maternal women with pernicious placenta previa after 34 weeks.Methods:A total of 84 patients with pernicious placenta previa in Laoshan Campus of the Affiliated Hospital of Qingdao University from March 2018 to March 2019 were selected. The time of admission for delivery was more than 34 weeks. Forty women who pregnant from 34 weeks to 36 weeks of pregnancy was in the study group, 44 women who pregnant over 36 weeks was in the control group, and the pregnancy outcomes of the maternal fetuses of the two groups were compared.Results:The postpartum hemorrhage and the incidence of interventional surgery in the study group were less than those in the control group: (754.58 ± 20.35) ml vs. (1 449.26 ± 512.32) ml, 17.5%(7/40) vs. 52.27%(23/44), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). The changes in hematocrit after delivery and before delivery, the amount of hemoglobin after delivery and before delivery, the rate of uterine gauze packing, the rate of Xinmupei, the rate of hysterectomy, the incidence of blood transfusion, the rate of postoperative ICU transfer between two groups hand no significant differences ( P>0.05). The incidence of neonatal birth weight less than 2 500 g and the proportion of transfer to neonatology in the study group were higher than those in the control group: 75.0%(30/40) vs. 11.36%(5/44), 80.0%(32/40) vs. 11.36%(5/44), the differences were statistically significant ( P<0.05). There was no significant differences in Apgar scores and mortality rate of newborns after birth between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:When the pernicious placenta previa is delivered after 34 weeks, the termination of pregnancy before 36 weeks of gestation is more secure for maternal and fetal health. If the fetal development rate is slow, it is necessary to appropriately extend the delivery time, but don′t exceed 36 weeks.
