Objective To investigate the NO and NOS activities of retina tissue after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation in rabbit and the effects of taurine on them. Methods Twenty four New Zealand rabbits were randomly divided into three groups: control group, shock and resuscitation (SR) group and taurine group. Chromatometry was used to detect the NOS activities. Results The ON content and NOS activities, either in retina tissue or in plasm, increased significantly 3 h after hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation (P

Objective: To determine the contents of thromboxane (TXA_2) and prostacyclin (PGI_2) in optic nerves after acute intraocular hypertension injury so as to provide experimental data for the treatment of the clinical intraocular hypertension. Methods: A rabbit acute intraocular hypertension injury model was established by 90-min anterior chamber douche. Thirty adult rabbits were equally randomized into 5 groups: 4 intraocular hypertension injury groups (60 min, 90 min, 24 h and 48 h after intraocular tension normalization) and a normal control group. The eyes of all rabbits were removed and the homogenate of optic nerves was used to determine the contents of TXB_2 and 6-Keto-PGF_ 1?, and the metabolites of TXA_2 and PGI_ 2 by radioimmunoassay. Results: The contents of TXB_2 and 6-Keto-PGF_ 1? in the 60 min and 90 min groups were significantly higher than those of the normal control group (P

Objective To study the effect of Smad4 gene on angiogenesis related factors in human gastric cancer cell line.Methods Recombinant eukaryotie expressing plasmid pcDNA3.1 (-)-Smad4 containing Smad4 gene and empty vector pcDNA3.1 (-) were introduced into human gastric cancer cell line MKN28 using lipofectam and selected by G418,respectively.Two cell lines were obtained as follows:Smad4+-MKN28 cell line which was MKN28 transfected with a stable hybrid containing Smad4 gene and Smad4--MKN28 cell line with empty plasmid as control.The transcription and expression of VEGF and TSP1 were investigated by RT-PCR and Western blot.Results The mRNA expression of TSP1 in Smad4+-MKN28 cells was higher (P＜0.05) than that in control cells,while VEGF was lower(P＜0.05).Western blot showed the consistent results as measurement by RT-PCR.Conclusion Smad4 restoration in gastric cancer cells reduced angiogenesis rates through down-regulation of angiogenesis activitor and up-regulation of angiogenesis inhibitor.

Objective To understand the mutation characteristics of drug resistance-associated genes rpoB, katG and inhA in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) strains using gene chip method, and evaluate its clinical application value. Methods A total of 76 MTB strains were collected from Shijiazhuang area in 2013 to 2014. Gene chip was used to detect the mutations of rpoB, katG and inhA, and the L-J proportion drug susceptibility test was used as the gold standard to evaluate the overall concordance, sensitivity and specificity of gene chip. The consistency of microarray and phenotypic resistance was evaluated by Kappa test. Results Of all the 76 strains detected, 69 harbored mutations in katG/inhA. The predominant mutation site of katG was 315 codon with the mutation rate of 89.9%(62/69), and 5.8%(4/69) carried mutations at inhA-15(C→T), and 4.3%(3/69)carried combined mutations of katG 315 and inhA-15. The rpoB mutations were detected in 73 strains, of which 64.4%(47/73)carried mutations at codon 531, 15.1%(11/73)at codon 526, 12.3%(9/73)at 516 codon, 1.4%(1/73)at 513 codon, 1.4%(1/73)at 533 codon and 5.5%(4/73)had combined mutations. Compared with results from the L-J proportion method, the sensitivity, specificity and concordance rates of gene chip for RFP were 96.1%(73/76), 100%(50/50)and 97.6%(123/126). The sensitivity, specificity and concordance rates of gene chip for INH were 90.8%(69/76), 100%(50/50)and 94.4%(119/126). The sensitivity, specificity and concordance rates of gene chip for MDR-TB were 86.8%(66/76), 100%(50/50) and 92.1%(116/126). Conclusion The predominant mutation loci of MDR strains in Shijiazhuang area are katG315 and rpoB531. Gene chip is a fast and useful tool for clinical diagnosis of MDR strains.

Objective To explore the non-HLA gene polymorphisms that influence CMV infection after hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT).Method Non-HLA gene (ACE,CD14,MPO,MBL) single nucleotide polymorphisms were determined by using sequence-specific primer polymerase chain reaction (PCR-SSP) and sequencing in 64 pairs of donors and recipients before HSCT and the differences of non-HLA gene were analysed in CMV positive and negative patients Results The distribution of ACE gene single nucleotide polymorphism was DD (14/128,10.9％),ID (72/128,56.3％),and Ⅱ (42/128,38.8％).The distribution of CD14-159 allele gene single nucleotide polymorphism was CC (18/128,14.1％),CT (81/128,63.3％),and TT (29/128,22.7％).The distribution of MPO-463 allele gene single nucleotide polyrnorphism was G (100)/128,78.1％),A (2/128,1.6％),and GA (26/128,20.3％).The distribution of MBL gene single nucleotide polymorphism was H (28/128,21.9％),HL (73/128,57.0％),L (27/128,21.1％),Y (87/128,68.0％),YX (38/128,29.7％),X (3/128,2.3％),A (94/128,73.4％),AB (32/ 128,25.0％),and B (2/128,1.6％).The allele frequency of ACE,CD14 and MPO shoed no significant differcence between CMV positive and negative patients The gene frequency of MBL-HL was increased in CMV positive group.Conclusion MBL gene single nucleotide polymorphisrns may influence CMV infection after HSCT.

Objective To investigate the short-term efficacy of pelvic floor electrical stimulation (PFES) and pelvic floor training (PFT) for female with idiopathic detrusor overactivity (IDO) and stress urinary incontinence (SUI). Methods PFES and PFT were performed on 70 women (average age 40±7 years old) with IDO and SUI for twelve weeks. Urinary diary, International Continence In-quiring Committee's Questionnaire (ICI-Q-SF) scores were recorded and urodynamic study was per-formed before and after the treatment. Results Fifty women (71%) finally completed treatment for twelve weeks. Urinary incontinence disappeared in 8 (16%), detrusor overactivity disappeared in 10 (20 %). The leakage was not found in 6 (12 %) in leakage point pressure measurement. Moreover, the frequency of voiding (28±5 times/72 h), frequency of leakage (10±5 times/72 h), total scores of ICI-Q-SF(10±3), max detrusor uninhibited contraction pressure (18±8 cmH20) and detrusor unin-hibited contraction duration (8±3 s) were significantly lower than those before treatment (43±8 times/72 h, 20±6 times/72 h, 17±3, 27±9 cm H2O and 13±6s,P<0.01). Maximal voided vol-ume(225±48 ml), normal desired cystometric capacity (210±48 ml), maximal cystometric capacity (247±48 ml), Valsalva leak point pressure (94±11 cm H2O) and maximal urethral closure pressure (59±8 cm H2O) were significantly higher than those before treatment (159±37 ml, 141±39ml, 178±36ml, 81±15 cm H2O and 55±8 cm H2O, P<0.01). The effective rate during three months follow up was 60%, similar to time after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusions Pelvic floor electrical stimulation and pelvic floor training could be a useful therapy to treat women with IDO and SUI. It is both convenient and economical.

Objective To explore the effects of different body positions at the expiratory phase thinsection multi-slice spiral CT on the diagnosis of pulmonary air trapping after allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell transplantation(allo-HSCT).Methods Thirty-one allo-HSCT patients underwent the expiratory phase low-dose MSCT lung scanning at supine and prone positions to detect whether they have air trapping lesion,the volume percent of air trapping region (CT value ≤-700 HU at expiratory phase) against the whole lung was measured by using GE workstation after grading.Statistical analysis on lesion detection rate was performed with McNemar test and volume percent with rank sum test.Results Air trapping regions were observed in 8 patients (25.8％,8/31) who performed CT scan at the supine position,while 15 cases (48.4％,15/31)were positive for prone position CT scan.Seven cases showed positive results at both body positions.Statistical significance in the positive detection rate at supine and prone positions was found (x2 =4.00,P =0.039).The volume fraction of the two positions was 13 for supine position and 21 for prone position with statistical significance (Z =-3.37,P =0.001).Sensitivity at prone position CT scan to detect air trapping was much higher than that at supine position CT scan.Conclusion For allo-HSCT patients with chronic rejection reaction,performing expiratory phase thin-section CT scan and prone position scan can not only improve the detection rate of lung forepart lesions,but also preliminarily evaluate the severity of the air trapping,which can provide a basis for the early diagnosis and treatment in clinics.
