AIM: To determine the role of the glycocalyx in microvascular permeability. METHODS: Dextran was intravenously injected and quatitatively examined in the rat transient cerebral ischemic model. At the same time, endothelial glycocalyx (anionic sites) was labelled with the probe cationic gold colloid (CGC) using post-embedding technique and examined with electron microscope. RESULTS: The labeling of CGC decreased significantly following ischemia, meanwhile, microvascular permeability to dextran increased. CONCLUSION:Endothelial glycocalyx is very sensitive to ischemia or anoxia. Its disruption may be the initiator of the dysfunction of endothelium and the determinant of increased permeability.

Objective The effectiveness on the enrichment of nuclear red blood cells(NRBC) in umbilical cord blood by polyvinylidene difluoride membrane was investigated with intervention on membrane ionic channels.Methods NRBC was isolated by the isolation solution with a density of 1.067 g/ml.The rates of the cell enrichment using verapamil and furosemide intervention by discontinuous density centrifugation were examined by flow cytometry.The NRBC that past through PVDF membrane with pore size of 5 ?m were checked and quantified by nested-PCR.Results The optimal centrifugation density was 1.067 g/ml.The mean purity of NRBC after centrifugation was 2.54%,yet the purity after intervention increased to 9.36%(3.7-fold increment).The NRBC passing through PVDF membrane was from 0.83% to 6.15%,with enrichment of 7.4 times.When NRBC was 120 cells/ml,the density of the nested PCR products increased by nearly 4 times after intervention(4.48 vs 17.78).Conclusions Verapamil and furosemide could affect the morphology of cells and promote the rate of NRBC enrichment.

Objective To investigate the effect of expression level and methylation level of miR-200b on proliferation, invasion and apoptosis of gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 in vitro. Methods Normal human gastric epithelium cell line GES-1, and gastric cancer cell line MGC-803 cells were cultured and harvested to extract total RNA. Then miR-200b ex?pression level was examined via q-PCR;Methylation in promoter of miR-200b was revealed by Bisulphite PCR. MGC-803 cells were treated with different concentrations of 5′-Aza-CdR to test its effect on miR-200b expression and methylation of its promotor. The effect of its treatment at 10μmol/L for 72 h on invasion,proliferation and apoptosis of both cell lines were detected by Transwell assay, Flow cytometry and apoptosis assay respectively. The gene related to EMT (epithelial-mesen?chymal transition ) such as E-cadherin,N-cadherin,ZEB1,Slug were checked by Western blot. Results The expression of miR-200b in GES-1 is higher than that in MGC-803(P=0.022). The methylation level in promoter region of miR-200b in GES-1 is lower than that in MGC-803(P=0.034). After treated with 5′-Aza-CdR, the expression of miR-200b in MGC-803 cell was up-regulated in a timely dependent manner. On the contrary, the methylation in promoter of mirR-200b were down-regulated when 5′-Aza-CdR were added at 10μmol/L(P=0.043). What’s more, 5′-Aza-CdR administration increas?es cell apoptosis especially in aged cells and delays cell cycle at G0/G1 which in turn decrease ratio of cells in S phages. 5′-Aza-CdR treatment also decreased invasiveness and induced expression of E-cadherin, as well as down regulated the ex?pressions of N-cadhrin, ZEB1, Slug and MMP9 in MGC-803 cells. Conclusion Expression of miR-200b could be affected by methylation of promoter of miR-200b and in turn regulate proliferation and invasion of gastric cells in vitro.

This paper summarizes the experiences of nursing care of five patients with stoma after small bowel allotransplantation. The nursing care focused on observation of the survival,motility,secretion and other functions of early transplanted bowel,preparation and cooperation for colonoscopy,stoma care during enteral nutritional support,observation of the digestion,absorption and rejection of transplanted bowels. The five patients survived after operations. The stoma of transplanted bowels was ruddy and had a good circulation without complications such as rupture of skin around stoma. The patients gradually restored the normal diet by mouth.
