Based on the AuNPs/Nafion composite membrane technology and immobilization of amino adenosine aptamer using carboxyl carbon nanotubes on the surface of a glassy carbon electrode, a electrochemiluminescence sensor was preparated.The sensor was characterized by cyclic voltammetry and electrochemical luminescence.The result showed that the sensor had a good stability and reproducibility.Adenosine and adenosine aptamer could form G-tetrahedral structure, leading a decrease of ECL intensity.Under the optimum experimental conditions, the relative ECL intensity showed a good linear relationship to the negative logarithm of adenosine concentration in the range of 1.0×10-11-1.0×10-7 mol/L, the linear equations was ΔIECL=-890lgC-5050 with a detection limit of 5.0×10-12 mol/L.The RSD was 2.7% in 11 times measurement of adenosine (1.0×10-10 mol/L).The recovery was 97.1%-110.0% in the determination of real adenosine sample.

Objective To investigate bone mineral density-related factors to decrease the prevalence of osteoporosis. Methods This croas-sectional survey enrolled 46 219 adults less than 60 years old. Anthropometry, blood pressure, serum lipid, glucose, electrolytes, uric acid and homocysteine were detected. Bone mineral density (BMD) of distal forearm was measured by using peripheral dual energy-ray detector (MestriscanTM). Our data were analyzed by Pearson's correlation analysis and stepwise multiple regression analysis. Results All BMD-related factors except age showed significant difference between male and female. BMD of female subjects was lower than that of male participants (0.50±0. 15 vs 0. 54 ±0. 15,t = 22. 38 ,P < 0. 05 ). The prevalence of osteoporosis in female was higher ( 29. 51% vs 26. 48%, χ2 =47.90,P <0. 05). BMD increased with age before 40-year old, and then decreased more rapidly in female after 50-year old. Conclusion BMD of male is higher. Cigarette smoking, waist-hip ratio, systolic blood pressure, serum sodium, total cholesterol, and ALP were negatively correlated with BMD.

AIM: To explore the role of imbalance of local renin-angiotensin system (RAS) in lung injury by observing the changes of angiotensin Ⅱ type 1 receptor (AT1R) and Mas receptor protein expression in the lung and the degree of lung injury subject to limb ischemia-reperfusion (LIR) in the mice.METHODS: Male ICR mice (n=42, 8 weeks old) were randomly assigned into 7 groups (6 in each group), including control group and 6 model groups with LIR of 0.5 h, 1 h, 2 h, 4 h, 6 h and 12 h reperfusion.Tourniquets were used to block the blood flow of the hind limbs of the ICR mice and were released after 2 h ischemia to initiate reperfusion.The mice were sacrificed by eyeball blood withdrawal at different time points after reperfusion.The organ coefficient and wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) of the lung tissue were calculated.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was taken for cell counting and protein concentration measurement.The histopathological changes of the lung tissues was observed, and the pathological score was calculated.The protein expression of AT1R and Mas receptor in the lung tissues was determined by Western blot.RESULTS: The organ coefficient, W/D of lung tissue, and cell number and protein concentration in BALF of model groups were significantly higher than those in control group after LIR.The pathological changes were found in the lung tissue of model mice, including alveolar capillary dilation and congestion, edema, inflammatory cell infiltration in peripheral vascular, alveolar and bronchial walls, alveolar septal thickening and inflammatory cell infiltration.The lung injury score was elevated gradually along with the extension of reperfusion time.The protein expression of AT1R began to increase at reperfusion time points of 0.5 h and 1 h.With the extension of reperfusion time, the protein expression of AT1R decreased gradually.Conversely, the protein expression of Mas receptor increased gradually with prolonged reperfusion.CONCLUSION: LIR induces acute lung injury gradually.The imbalance of AT1R and Mas receptor expression may be involved in the damage process.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies have found that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels that culturedin vitro for a long time can naturaly differentiate into neural stem cels, which then differentiate into neurons and glial cels, thereby providing a new therapeutic thinking for Parkinson’s disease, sequela of cerebral infarction, cerebelar atrophy and brain dysplasia.
OBJECTIVE:To discuss the influence of neural stem cel transplantation on neurologic function of rats with cerebral hemorrhage at recovery stage and the relevant mechanism of action.
METHODS: Sixty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal group (n=18), cerebral hemorrhage group (n=21) and transplantation group (n=21). Cerebral hemorrhage models were established in the latter two groups using VII type colagen enzyme induction method. At 21 days of modeling, rats in the transplantation group were injected neural stem cels via the tail vein, and those in the other two groups received the same volume of normal saline. At 7, 14, 21 days after cel transplantation, modified adhesive removal test (MST) was employed to evaluate the neurologic function of rats, and then the rats were kiled. RT-PCR was used to detect angiopoietin-1 mRNA expression in the bleeding tissues, and western blot assay was employed to measure tyrosine kinase receptor-2 protein expression.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the normal group, the MST scores in the cerebral hemorrhage group and transplantation group were significantly decreased (P< 0.05). From the 7th day after transplantation, MST scores in the transplantation group were significantly higher than those in the cerebral hemorrhage group (P < 0.05). At 7, 14, 21 days after transplantation, expressions of angiopoietin-1 mRNA and tyrosine kinase receptor-2 protein were ranked as folows: transplantation group > cerebral hemorrhage group > normal group, and there was a significant difference among the three groups (P< 0.05). These findings indicate that neural stem cel transplantation can effectively promote the neurologic recovery of rats with cerebral hemorrhage at recovery stage, and the concrete mechanism may be related to the increase of angiopoietin-1 mRNA and tyrosine kinase receptor-2 protein in the bleeding tissues.

Objective:To compare the diagnostic accuracy of lung ultrasonography and radiography in detection of acute traumatic intrathoracic injuries in children.Methods:A retrospective analysis was performed in 46 cases of children with chest trauma in Shenzhen Children′s Hospital from January 2017 to January 2021. The diagnostic efficiency of lung ultrasound and radiography in children with acute traumatic hemopneumothorax and lung contusion were compared. Computed tomography scan was used as gold standard.Results:The sensitivity and specificity of lung ultrasound were 0.79 and 0.98 for pneumothorax, 0.86 and 0.75 for hemothorax, 0.86 and 0.80 for pulmonary contusion, respectively. Area under the ROC curve of ultrasonography in detection of pneumothorax, hemothorax, and pulmonary contusion was 0.889 (95% CI=0.798-0.979, P<0.001), 0.804 (95% CI=0.707-0.901, P<0.001), and 0.831 (95% CI=0.623-1.000, P=0.013), respectively. Area under the ROC curve of radiography was 0.674 (95% CI=0.544-0.803, P=0.008) for detection of pneumothorax, 0.645 (95% CI=0.517-0.772, P=0.026) for hemothorax, and 0.547 (95% CI=0.289-0.805, P=0.724) for pulmonary contusion. Comparison of area under the ROC curve declared the significant superiority of ultrasonography in detection of pneumothorax, hemothorax and pulmonary contusion (all P<0.05). Conclusions:Lung ultrasound has higher sensitivity and accuracy than chest radiography in the initial evaluation of chest trauma. For children with acute chest trauma, lung ultrasound should be the first choice.
