Objective To explore the changes of expression levels of 12S rRNA and cytochrome oxidase subunit Ⅰ (COXⅠ) mRNA encoded by mtDNA in rat cerebral cortex after rat exposure to hypobaric hypoxia for different days. Methods Healthy male Wistar rats were exposed to hypobaric chamber simulating 5 000 m above sea level (23 5 h/day) for 2, 5, 15 and 30 d. Rats in the control group were not exposed to hypoxia. Rats were sacrificed by decapitation. Total RNA in cerebral cortex was extracted using a standard program. Transcriptional levels of 12S rRNA and COXⅠ mRNA were determined by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT PCR). Results Compared with that in the control, the expression of 12S rRNA increased by 57% after hypoxic exposure for 2 d ( P 0 05). Compared with that in the control group, the expression of COXⅠ mRNA increased significantly by 55% and 106% after hypoxic exposure for 2 and 5 d ( P 0 05). Conclusion Hypoxic exposure may have effect on both protein gene and ribosome gene expression encoded by mtDNA, and the expression changes in a hypoxic exposure time dependent manner. This suggests that hypoxia can have effect on mitochondrial oxidative phosphorylation gene expression at both mitochondrial transcriptional and translational levels.

Objective Through investigating the effect of mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) on the expression of yon Willebrand factor (vWF) and soluble thrumbomodulin (sTM) of vascular endothelial cells stimulated by serum of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients to discuss the repairing effect of MSCs on injured endothelium of SLE patients.Methods When human umbilical vein endothelial cell strain ECV-304 was co-cultivated with serum of SLE patients in vitro for twelve hours in order to induce endothelial cells injury,then MSCs were seeded for three days.Enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the expression of vWF and sTM in the supernatant.Results When ECV-304 was stimulated by serum of SLE patients,the expression of vWF and sTM in the supernatant was significantly higher than that in the groups not stimulated by serum of SLE patients;When MSCs were seeded ,the expression of vWF in the Lupus serum stimulated group in which MSCs were seeded was significantly lower than that in the lupus serum stimulated group in which MSCs were not seeded,but the expression of sTM between the lupus serum stimulated group which MSCs were seeded and the lupus serum stimulated group in which MSCs were not seeded was not significantly deviatied.Conclusion Serum of lupus patients at active stage can cause injure vascular endothelial cells.MSCs can downregulate the expression of vWF of vascular endothelial cells.These suggest it may participate in the repairing of injured vascular endothelium of SLE patients.

Objective To study change of insulin resistance and beta-cell function of the patients in hyper-tension with normal glucose tolerance(NGT) to phthogonesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus(T2DM). Methods 84 pa-tients with hypertension were divided into NGT group,and groups of impaired glucose tolerance(IGT) with groups of T2DM. The blood pressure, height, weight, waist circumference, hip circumference, high-density lipoproteins (HDL-C)and total cholesterol(TC) ,fasting plasma glucose(FPG) and fasting plasma insulin(FINS) were measured to deter-mine the body mass index(BMI) ,waist/hip ratio(WHR) ,insulin secretion function[ including Homa β-cell function index(HBCI) and fasting β-cell function index(FBCI)] and insulin resistance level [ including Homa model insulin resistance index(IR) and insulin action index(IAI)] ,statistic comparison were measured between the groups of dif-ferent glucose tolerances. Results The BMI, WHR, diastolic blood pressure ( DBP), TC in IGT group and T2DM group were bigger or higher than those in NGT group ( P<0.05, P<0.01 ), the IAI, HOMA-IS and FBCI in T2DM group were lower than those in NGT group with these in NGT group were lower than those in NGT group( P<0.05 ,P<0.01 ). The HOMA-IR in IGT group and T2DM group were higher than those in NGT group with these in T2DM group were higher than those in NGT group. Conclusion T2DM group and IGT group had more insulin resistance level,sensitivity of insulin and islet β-cell function decrease than those in IGT group,the IGT group and T2DM group are analogous at the body weight is heavier, with waist/hips ratio, triglyceride level and DBP are higher than those in the NGT group in clinic.

Objective To investigate the possible effects on radiosensitivity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells after transfection of pcDNA3.1+Ape1 plasmid. Methods The expressing vector pcDNA3.1+ Ape1, the control vector pcDNA3.1+or non-transfection cells was irradiated by 2, 4, 6, and 8 Gy photon beam at 48 h post-transfection. The value of initial and residual Oliver tail moment (OTM) under the alkaline single cell gelelectrophoresis assay and the colony forming test were utilized as the markers for the evaluaton of cells intrinsic radiosensitivity. The effect on radiosensitivity in human umbilical vein endothelial cells after transfection of the expressing vector pcDNA3.1+Ape1 was analyzed according to the radio-dose, compared to the empty vecor control and non-transfection cells. Results The initial and residual OTM value of endothelial cells transfected by 3 μg pcDNA3.1+Ape1 plasmid was lower significantly than ones of endothelial cells untransfected at 2 Gy irradiation (P<0.01), but was no significant difference at 8 Gy (P>0.05), and SF2 was higher remarkably in transfected cells than one in untransfected cells (P<0.05), but SF4, SF6 and SF8 were no significant differences (all of P>0.05). Conclusions The transfection of pcDNA3.1+Ape1 plasmid could enhance radioresistance of endothelial cells to the low-dose irradiation.

Objective To explore the related factors of fertilization failure after in-vitro fertilization and embryo transfer. Methods 150 patients were divided into total fertilization failure (TFF) group, low fertilization (LFR) group, and control (NFR) group according to fertilization rate. Semen was collected from the male pa-tients; the number, concentration, shape, and progressive motility of sperms were measured. Level of gACE was detected by Western blot. Logistic regression was used to explore the factors affecting fertilization rate. Results The fertilization rate and the concentration , progressive motility , and shape of sperms in were lower TFF group than in LFR group and NFR group (P < 0.05). Western blot proved that level of gACE group was higher in TFF than in LFR group and NFR group (P < 0.05). Logistic regression showed that the fertilization rate, the concen-tration , progressive motility , shape of sperms , and the level of gACE were all the independent risk factors for fertilization failure. Conclusions The concentration, progressive motility, and shape of sperms have impact on IVF. A lower expression of gACE in patients with lower fertilization rate can be used as a potential biomarker for predicting fertilization failure.

Objective To explore the establishment and implementation of nursing quality evaluation system in department of orthopedics. Methods Randomly 527 patients hospitalized in the department of orthopedics from December 2011 to December 2012 were selected and assigned into the control group, where a traditional evaluation system was used. Another 528 patients hospitalized from April 2013 to June 2014 as the observation group, where orthopedics specialist evaluation system was used. The two groups were compared in terms of hospital evaluation accuracy, observation accuracy, accuracy rate of specialist intervention complications, the qualified rate of nursing records and patient satisfaction. Result The hospital evaluation accuracy, observation accuracy, the accuracy rate of specialist intervention complications, the qualified rate of nursing records and patients satisfaction of the observation group were significantly higher than those of the control group (P<0.01) and there was no incidence in two groups. Conclusion The establishment of orthopaedic nurse quality evaluation system can make up the shortage of traditional evaluation system and improve the quality of the orthopaedic nursing management.
