Brainstem c-fos and c-jun gene expression was examined by immunohistochemistry. Results: Ear redness improved significantly, the number of head scratchings decreased obviously (P<0.05) and c-fos and c-jun expression was reduced markedly (P<0.01) in the treatment group after pricking blood compared with the model group and the blank group. Conclusion: Pricking blood treatment can improve behavior indices and reduce c-fos and c-jun positive expression in migraine rats.

Objective To assess the clinical efficacy and safety of the combination of intracoronary tirofiban infusion(ICTI) plus percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) in patients with acute ST-elevation myocardial infarction (STEAMI). Methods The 128 cases with STEAMI were enrolled in this study. They were randomly divided into trial group and control group. The 10 μg/kg tirofiban were infused into the infarct related artery (IRA) within 5 minutes through the cather after coronary angiography in trial group (n=64). Normal saline in matched dose was infused into IRA after coronary angiography in control group (n=64). The coronary thrombosis and revascularization status were assessed within 10 minutes after injection. Postoperative bleeding complications were observed in all cases. Adverse cardiovascular events and cardiac function were followed up within 1 month in all cases. Results There were 33 cases whose thrombus burden was reduced within 10 minutes after the infusion of tirofiban in trial group, including 26 cases of thrombolysis in myocardial infarction (TIMI) ≥1. There were 6 cases whose thrombus burden was reduced within 10 minutes after the infusion of normal saline in control group, including 3 cases TIMI ≥ 1. The coronary thrombosis and revascularization status were better in trial group rather than in control group (P＜0.01). Adverse cardiovascular events occurred in 5 cases within 1 month, including 2 cases in trial group and 3 cases in control group (P＞0.05). New York heart association functional class and ejection fraction values were better in trial group rather than in control group within 1 month (P＜0.05). Postoperative bleeding complications occurred in 14 cases by TIMI criteria , including severe and mild bleeding in 2 cases in trial group and 1 cases in control group (P＞0.05), but no significant bleeding occurred in 8 cases in trial group and in 3 cases in control group (P＜0.01). Conclusions The combination of intracoronary infusion of tirofiban plus PCI is effective and safe for thrombolysis and revascularization in IRA in patients with STEAMI.

Objective To reproduce and validate the hexokinase reference method for glucose detection and compare other 5 routine glucose kits with this reference method. Methods The CDC hexokinase reference method for glucose detection was established and the performance was validated through testing a standard reference material (SRM) and participating in the IFCC ring-trial for reference laboratories for glucose evaluation. The CLSI EP 9-A2 protocol was used to compare the 5 routine glucose kits with the hexokinase reference method. Forty serum samples were analyzed by 5 routine kits and the hexokinase reference method. Results When SRM 965a was determined by the reference method,the bias of level 2 and level 3 were 0. 93%, -0. 23% respectively. The results for IFCC ring trial were within the accepted range. For the 5 routine kits, the confidence intervals of the predictive bias at the medical decision point Xc (Xc = 6. 11 mmol/L) were all within the range of defined acceptable error (10%) and the range of biological variation bias (6.9%). Conclusions The hexokinase reference method for serum glucose was reproduced in our lab. The serum glucose results measured with 5 routine kits were different from results detected with the reference method, but the bias was acceptable,and it will not affect the detection results.

BACKGROUND:So far, the short-term changes of various organs after injection of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells have been reported, but there are few studies on the long-term changes of various organs in healthy rats after repeated intramuscular injection of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. OBJECTIVE:To observe the security of intramuscular injection of heterogeneous umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. METHODS:Sixty male SPF Wistar rats were divided into six groups randomly:normal group (suspension liquid of umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells);control group with culture solution;supernatant group (supernatant of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells);low concentration group (0.25×105 human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells);moderate concentration group (1.0×105 human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells);high concentration group (4.0×105 human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells). Each rat was injected 0.8 mL liquid in muscle, 0.2 mL in each limb, twice at weeks 1 and 4. Biochemical tests were conducted before and after injection. At the end of 8 weeks, al the rats were kil ed and hematoxylin-eosin staining was done with the liver, spleen, lung, kidney, brain and muscle.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no abnormal change about biochemical tests and hematoxylin-eosin staining after the intramuscular injection of heterogeneous umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells. No significant alteration was observed in the liver, spleen, lung, kidney, brain, and muscle of the limb after the injection of heterogeneous umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells under suitable concentration. These findings indicate intramuscular injection of heterogeneous umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells at certain concentrations is safe and reliable.
