Infant hair is a good medium to assess the cumulative exposure level of infant in the mother ' s body. Chlorinated persistent organic pollutants were ubiquitous and with the highest volume concentration in the human body. In this experiment, 20 infant hairs were collected from Beijing. The sample was overnight incubated in HCl, extracted with the mixture of hexane and dichloromethane, and cleaned up by a cartridge filled with alumina and acidified silica. The final eluate was concentrated, and 16 kinds of typical chlorinated persistent organic pollutants were detected with gas chromatography_high resolution mass spectrometry ( HRGC_MS). The results showed that the detection limit of the target compounds in sample was 1. 00-2. 50 μg/kg, the recovery of surrogate in all samples was more than 67 . 6%, and the range of recoveries for target compounds in spiked sample was 62. 5%-92. 3%. The positive rate is 100% for hexachlorobenzene,β_HCH and p, pˊ_DDE, 85% for γ_HCH, 50% for PCB28, and 40% for PCB52. The concentrations of Hexachlorobenzene, HCHs, DDTs and PCBs were 5. 48-8. 40 μg/kg, 3. 86-27. 1 μg/kg, 1. 16-18. 3 μg/kg and 2. 20-22. 1 μg/kg, respectively. The average concentrations were 7. 84 μg/kg for hexachlorobenzene, 6. 93 μg/kg for HCHs, 5. 53 μg/kg for DDTs, and 3. 44 μg/kg for PCBs. The method and the analysis results can be used to evaluate the accumulation level and cumulative exposure level of 16 target compounds for fetal in motherˊs body.

Purpose To observe the histopathologic changes of acquired immure deficiency syndrome (AIDS) in a Chinese Rhesus monkeys model and the pathogenesis that initiated the changes.Methods Chinese Rhesus monkeys were sacrificed after being inoculated SIVmac239 by Ⅳ(n=2)for four months.Autopsy was carried out by pathologic routine method.The lymph nodes, heart, liver, spleen, lung, kidney, digestive tract and other tissues were selected, the tissues fixed with 10% neutral formalin, and the pathologic sections were prepared by HE staining and immunohistochemical staining and special staining after paraffin imbedding.Results The main histopathological changes appeared in the immune system in different organs. The lymph nodes began to display the complex changes in a short period of time infected by the virus, including proliferation of lymphoid follicles, atrophy, or both; some lymphoid follicles of lymph nodes had few lymphocytes, with fibrous hyperplasia and immune complex (IC) deposition, displaying a burning down phenomenon.Splenomegaly and blood vessel and its endothelial cell proliferation in splenic corpuscles were noted with the immune complex deposition. Other parts of the mucosa-associated lymphoid tissue had different degrees of hyperplasia, or atrophy.Conclusion Histopathologic changes in Chinese Rhesus monkeys infected by SIVmac239 strain are very similar to human AIDS, which suggests that the model is a useful tool for the prevention and treatment study of AIDS.

ObjectiveTo investigate the survival and migration of the neural stem cells(NSC) in the cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) circle of mice after ventricle transplantation. MethodsNSC labeled with green fluorescence protein (GFP) were implanted into the lateral cerebral ventricle of the mice. The mice were killed at time point of 24 h, 48 h, 2 weeks and 10 weeks after transplantation. The brain sections were observed and the behaviors of the mice were evaluated. ResultsGFP-positive cells were found in the lateral cerebral ventricle.Some of them migrated into the parenchyma and located in fibria-fornix, hippocampus,corpus callusum, septum,subventricle zone and beside the blood vessels at the time point of 2 weeks and 10 weeks. There were no obvious complications occured during operations which affected the outcome of growth and development. ConclusionNSC not only can survive, but also can migrate into the local parenchyma of the brain after ventricle transplantation. There were no obvious complications occured after the transplantation of NSC.

Objective To construct a prokaryotic expression system of ahpC gene of Helicobacter pylori. Methods The ahpC gene was amplified from Hp chromosomal DNA by PCR technique and cloned into the expression vector pET-30a. The recombinant vector pET30a-ahpC was identified by DNA sequencing and transformed to E.coli BL21 (DE3) for expression under induction by IPTG. The expression product was analyzed by SDS-PAGE. Results PCR product showed that ahpC gene consisted of 594bp. The gene fragment that was inserted into the recombinant vector was identified to GenBank for 99%. SDS-PAGE showed that the induced protein was expressed highly in the host bacterium. Conclusion A prokaryotic high-expression system for ahpC gene has been successfully constructed. It can highly express r-AhpC protein in E.coli.

Objective To investigate the effect of Ser473-Akt phosphorylation in the protection of atorvastatin to cerebral ischemia-re-perfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Methods Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal group (n=10), sham group (n=10), I/R group (n=10) and intervention group (n=10). A model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats was establishied, with ischemia for 2 hours and reperfusion for 72 hours. The normal group and the sham group received no injury. I/R group was administered with normal saline only, and the intervention group received atorvastatin 10 mg/kg prepared with normal saline at palinesthesia, 24 and 48 hours after reperfu-sion. All rats were sacrificed 72 hours after reperfusion. HE staining and TUNEL staining were performed in the brain specimens. The ex-pression of Akt and Ser473-Akt in the prefrontal cortex of the brain were detected with Western blotting. Results Compared with I/R group, 72 hours after reperfusion, the damage of nerve cells significantly lessened in the intervention group;the apoptosis positive cells significant-ly reduced in the intervention group (t=-6.014, P<0.001). The expression of Ser473-Akt in prefrontal cortex was higher in I/R group than in the normal group and the sham group (t>20.327, P<0.001), and was higher in the intervention group than in I/R group (t=3.649, P=0.007). Conclusion The Ser473-Akt phosphorylation plays an important role in the protection of atorvastatin in nerve cell through anti-apoptosis of nerve cells, and reducing cerebral I/R injury.

Purpose To study the relationship between Epstein-Barr virus ( EBV) and breast cancer. Methods 246 cases of breast lesions at different development stages were selected and EBV DNA, RNA and protein was used by polymerase chain reaction ( PCR) , in situ hybridization ( ISH) , laser capture microdissection ( LCM) , immunohistochemistry ( IHC) EnVision technology. Results No expression of EBV latent membrane protein LMP1 was detected in all 246 cases of benign and malignant breast lesions. In 12 cases of breast cancer of EBV DNA, carcinoma in situ and breast lesions not EBV DNA was detected by PCR. However, using digoxigenin la-beled EBV DNA probe for the 48 cases ( including 12 cases of breast cancer specimens of positive PCR amplification) of benign and malignant breast lesions, no positive hybridization signal was detected in cancer cells, mammary epithelial cells and stromal lympho-cytes. Using laser capture microdissection and PCR amplification, cancer cells and stromal cells were captured respectively from 12 ca-ses of PCR positive and 12 cases of PCR negative of breast cancer specimens, we found EBV DNA was only amplified in mesenchymal cells. In the detection of the EBER expression with EBV RNA probe and in situ hybridization, the results of 75 cases of benign and malignant breast lesions ( including 12 cases of breast cancer by positive PCR amplification) were all negative. Conclusions The re-sults indicate that the tumorigenesis and development of breast cancer have nothing to do with EBV infection in all cases were chosen.

An enantioselective method was developed for the separation and determination of three chiral hexabromocyclododecanes ( HBCDs ) including α-HBCD, β-HBCD, γ-HBCD in soil and earthworm by HPLC-ID-MS/MS. d18-HBCDs used as internal standards were added to the samples before extraction. HBCDs enantiomers were extracted from soil by accelerated solvent extraction ( ASE ) with n-hexane/DCM (1:1,V/V) at 100℃ and 10 MPa for 5 min, and further cleaned up using silica column. HBCDs enantiomers were extracted from earthworm by vortex turbulence with ethyl acetate. The extracts were orderly sulphonated by sulfuric acid, and purified by silica column. For all HBCDs enantiomers, good linearities were obtained in the concentration range of 0. 25-50 ng/mL. Limits of detection ( LOD) and limits of quantification ( LOQ) were 0. 00544-0. 00766 ng/g and 0. 0173-0. 0244 ng/g, respectively in soil. The recoveries of spiked samples at 0. 05 and 2. 5 ng/g levels were 80. 0%-95. 9% with relative standard deviations ( RSD, %) of 5. 7%-11. 9% in soil. Limits of detection (LOD) and limits of quantification (LOQ) were 0. 0103-0. 0148 ng/g and 0. 0328-0. 0471 ng/g, respectively in earthworm. The recoveries of spiked samples at 0. 1 and 5 ng/g levels were 78. 0% -94. 4% with relative standard deviations ( RSD, %) of 6. 1% -12. 2% in earthworm. This method can meet the requirements of determination of trace HBCDs in soil and earthworm.

Objective To investigate the effect of dexmedetomidine combined with butorphanol conventional therapy on sustaining sedation of intensive care unit (ICU) patients.Methods Sixty critically ill patients in Binzhou Central Hospital from June to September in 2014 were randomly divided into experimental group and control group, 30 cases in each group. In the control group, 0.8 mg/L dexmedetomidine hydrochloride injection (400μg with addition of 46 mL normal saline to form 50 mL solution) was intravenously infused continuously at a speed of 0.4μg·kg-1·h-1 by a micro-pump to induce analgesia and sedation; while in the experimental group, dexmedetomidine combined with 200 mg/L butorphanol (10 mg plus 40 mL normal saline to form 50 mL solution) was given for intravenous infusion by a micro-pump with a speed of 0.01 mg·kg-1·h-1 to maintain analgesia and sedation for 48 hours whose required Ramsay score in both groups was 3 - 5. Before and after treatment, the changes of heart rate (HR), respiratory rate (RR), mean arterial pressure (MAP), arterial partial pressure of oxygen (PaO2), arterial partial pressure of carbon dioxide (PaCO2), and the pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2) of both groups were observed. The dosage of dexmedetomidine used for maintenance of required analgesia and sedation and FPS (facial expression) grading and Ramsay score were compared respectively between the two groups, and the clinical efficacy of the two groups were evaluated.Results After treatment, the HR, MAP, RR in both groups were significantly lower, and PaO2 and SpO2 were significantly higher than those before treatment, and the degrees of improvement in the above indexes of the experiment group were superior to those of the control group [HR (bpm): 84.58±12.43 vs. 118.62±14.21, MAP (mmHg, 1 mmHg = 0.133 kPa): 82.35±12.12 vs. 92.35±12.32, RR (times/min): 25.42±3.98 vs. 32.87±5.12, PaO2 (mmHg): 95.21±10.55 vs. 75.18±8.57, SpO2: 0.981 4±0.102 8 vs. 0.954 7±0.093 8, allP < 0.05]. The total therapeutic effect in experiment group was significantly higher than that in control group [93.3% (28/30) vs. 76.7% (22/30),P < 0.05]. The dexmedetomidine dosage used in the experiment group was much less than that in the control group (μg/d: 412.12±23.18 vs. 520.05±15.68,P < 0.05). The FPS score in the experiment group was obviously lower than that in the control group (1.48±0.16 vs. 2.52±0.74,P < 0.05).Conclusion In comparison, to achieve sustained and required analgesic and sedative effect for ICU patients by combined use of dexmedetomidine and butorphanol, the dosage of dexmedetomidine used is less than dexmedetomidine applied alone, in addition, the combined use can achieve better Ramsay grading, steady blood pressure and excellent effect.
