Objective To investigate effect of decorin on proliferation and cell cycle of rabbit tendon cells in vitro so as to explore the role of decorin in tendon wound healing.Methods Tendon cells derived from the tissue of rabbits flexor tendon were harvested and cultured in vitro with decorin of 0.25,1.25,2.5,5 ?g/ml.After culture of 12,24 or 48 h,the cell proliferation rate was measured by MTT colorimetric determination.After 24-hour culture with 0.25?g/ml decorin,the morphology of tendon cells was obtained and the cell cycle distribution was detected by flow cytometer.Results The proliferation of tendon cells was inhibited after 12-hour culture and significantly increased after 24-hour culture with 0.25,1.25,2.5 ?g/ml decorin.However,5 ?g/ml decorin could increase the proliferation after 12-hour culture,increase after 24-hour culture,with no significant difference between 24 h and 48 h.decorin at 0.25 ?g/ml could significantly increase the cells at S phase and PI after 24-hour culture(P

Objective To investigate the brain protective effects of isoflurane preconditioning for local cerebral is-chemia adult rat model by detecting HIF-1α, HO-1 and Bcl-2 expression level. Methods 84 two-month old Spra-gue-Dawley male rats were randomly divided into sham group, ischemia-reperfusion group ( MCAO group) and isoflurance preconditioning group (ISO group). ISO group was exposed to isoflurane for 30 min and then underwent a 90 min middle cerebral arterial occlusion (MCAO), while MCAO group underwent MCAO only. At 24 h after reperfusion all the groups were investigated by modified neurological severity score for neurological deficits, TTC staining for infarct percentage. Cerebral cortices were harvested for HIF-1α, HO-1 and Bcl-2 protein expression level detection at 6 h, 24 h and 72 h after reperfusion using RT-PCR and western blot. Results The mNSS score and infarct percentage in ISO group decreased significantly compared with those of MCAO group at 24 h after reper-fusion(P < 0. 05). Compared with the MCAO group, ISO group had significantly up-regulated protein levels of HIF-1α, HO-1 and Bcl-2 at 6 h and 24 h after reperfusion(P < 0. 05). There was no difference between ISO group and MCAO group for 3 gene expression at 72 h(P > 0. 05). Conclusion Isoflurane preconditioning plays short-term cerebral protective effect through the up regulation of HIF-1α, HO-1 and Bcl-2 gene expression.

Objective To explore the practical method and teaching effect of problem-based learning (PBL) pattern in teaching of gastrointestinal disease for seven-year-program students during their internal medical probation.Methods The traditional pattern (gastrointestinal diseases) and PBL pattern (hepatobiliary diseases) were applied in these students to assess the teaching effects by exam scores and questionnaire.Results ① There was no significant difference between traditional training and PBL by exam scores (P>0.05).② The PBL approach was widely accepted by students,which could contribute to the improvement of their learning motivation.It developed skills,including self-directed learning,summarizing,and clinical thinking capability and so on.Conclusion The PBL approach is a practical learning strategy that can improve the teaching effect; therefore it should be wildly practiced in future works.

Objective To isolate and identify the pathogenic bacteria from peripheral blood of a patient with septicemia of unknown etiology and to analyze their drug resistance genes.Methods Two peripheral blood samples were collected from the patient after having fever.Several assays including culturing bacteria on blood agar plates by using streaking technique,Gram-staining of bacterial colonies and microscopic observation,VITEK 2-compact automatic bacterium detection and analysis system as well as a sequencing analysis of the 16s rRNA gene were performed to identify the bacterial pathogens in blood samples.Microdilution test was performed to detect the drug susceptibilities of isolated bacteria to antibiotics.Confirmatory tests were performed to detect the production of β-lactamase and extended spectrum β-lactamase by the isolated strains and the phenotypes of AmpC enzyme and carbapenemase.PCR was used to identify the β-lactamase-encoding genes in the isolated strains by using the primers of 19 common β-lactamase-,AmpC enzyme-and carbapenemase-encoding genes in Enterobacteriaceae strains and the primers of 21 annotated gene sequences encoding the β-lactamase of a Ralstonia mannitolilytica strain.The PCR products were sequenced and analyzed after T-A cloning.Results Ralstonia mannitolilytica strains were isolated from the two peripheral blood samples.The isolated strains were sensitive to ceftriaxone,cefepime,ciprofloxacin,ofloxacin,tigecycline and compound sulfamethoxazole (SMZ-TMP),but resistant to the other 11 tested antibiotics.Results of PCR amplification by using the primers of common genes encoding β-lactamase of Enterobacteriaceae strains were all negative.Fragments of genes encoding the β-lactamase of the isolated Ralstonia mannitolilytica strain were successfully amplified,which were TK49_09850,TK49_12955,TK49_14470,TK49_14495and TK49_18990.The sequences of the amplified gene fragments were not similar to those of the common β-lactamase-encoding genes in Enterobacteriaceae strains.Conclusion The patient was infected with Ralstonia mannitolilytica.The isolated Ralstonia mannitolilytica strain showed a high-level drug resistance with a noticeable diversity against different β-lactam antibiotics.The genes encoding β-lactamase of the isolated Ralstonia mannitolilytica strain were completely different to those of Enterobacteriaceae strains.

The endoscopic findings of 884 cases of colonic polyps with different pathological types were retrospectively analyzed.Among all cases,there were 418 cases of tubular adenoma (47.3% ),92 cases of fluff tubular adenoma ( 10.4% ),334 cases of inflammatory polyps ( 37.8% ) and 40 cases of hyperplastic polyps (4.5% ).There were significant differences in age,location,polyp surface morphology and Yamada grouping among colonic polyps with different pathological types (P <0.05).The average age of fluff tubular adenoma group [ (64 ± 12)y] was the highest among all patients; and the average diameter of polyps was the largest [ ( 1.38 ± 1.09 ) cm ],lobulated and mulbenry,polyps were the most common forms; and the majority of fluff tubular adenoma was Yamada type Ⅲ or Ⅳ.The results indicate that fluff tubular adenoma was associated with higher age,larger polyp size,surface morphology and Yamada grouping (P <0.05).

β- N-Acetyl- D-glucosaminidase ( NAGase, EC3.2.1.52) is a composition of the chitinases and cooperates with endo-chitinase and exo-chitinase to disintegrate chitin into N-acetylglucosamine. Pacific White Shrimp (P. vannamei) NAGase is involved in digestion and molting processes. Some pollutants in seawater affect the enzyme activity causing loss of the biological function of the enzyme, which affects the exuviating shell and threatens the survival of the animal. The effects of acetic anhydride on the enzyme activity for the hydrolysis of pNP-NAG have been studied. The results show that acetic anhydride can lead to reversible non-competitive inhibition at appropriate concentrations, and the IC50 is estimated to be 9.0 mmol/L. The equilibrium constants have been determined for acetic anhydride binding with the enzyme and/or the enzymesubstrate complexes. Inhibition kinetics of acetic anhydride on the enzyme has been studied using the kinetic method of the substrate reaction. The results suggest that at pH 6.2, the action of acetic anhydride on the enzyme is first quick equilibrium binding and then slow inhibition. The microscopic rate constants have been determined for inhibition and reactivation. The results show that k + 0 is much larger than k - 0, indicating the enzyme is completely inactivated at sufficiently large modificator concentration.

Aim To explore the effects of heat stress on TNF-?-induced fever and the content of cAMP in rat hypothalamus. Methods ①We examined the peak time of HSP70 expression in hypothalamus after heat stress; ②We studied the change of TNF-?-induced fever and the content of cAMP in hypothalamus after heat stress. Result The maximum expression of HSP70 in hypothalamus was attained at 12 h after heat stress. Heat stress limited TNF-?-induced fever and decreased the content of cAMP in hypothalamus. Conclusion Heat stress can inhibit TNF-?-induced fever in rats, and this effect may be related with the inhibition of cAMP synthesis induced by high expression HSP70 in hypothalamus.
