Objective To study the changes of 5-hydroxytryptamine(5-HT),its receptor,IL-2 and IL-6 in rats' ileum with spleen deficiency combined with gastric ulcer.To explore the pathogenesis of this disease and the therapic mechanism of sijunzi decoction. Methods Immunohistochemical technique,image analysis,radioimmunoassay and Western blotting were used. Results The 5-HT-positive cells of rat ileum were detected in mucosal and glandular cells.The 5-HTR-positive cells of rat ileum were found in the connective tissues between the intestinal villus and intestinal glands,and in neuroplex and smooth muscle tissues.The expression of 5HT and 5-HTR in ileum increased during the experimental spleen deficiency combined with gastric ulcer in rats.The 5-HTR level of rat ileum was higher.After treatment with Sijunzi decoction,all the changes have been reversed.The level of IL-2 and IL-6 increased during the early period of this disease.When the disease doveloped,the synthesis or secretion of IL-2 and IL-6 decreased. Conclusion The increased contents of 5-HT and its receptor in ileum tissues might be one of the causes of spleen-deficiency combined with gastric ulcer in rats.The mechanism of Sijunzi decoction is to reverse the changes.And the changed activity of IL-2 and IL-6 may be related with the degree of the disease.

Objective To discuss the influence of preoperative visiting by special visiting nurses before operation on relieving mental tension of patients. Methods 80 patients were randomly divided into the experimental group and the control group with 40 patients in each group.All patients were prepared in the same way except that patients in the experimental group were visited by the operation room nurses before the operation.The differences in heart rate and blood pressure were compared between the two groups as the criteria for judging mental tension of the patients. Results Blood pressure and heart rate of patients in the experimental group did not fluctuate as much as the patients in the control group. Conclusions Visiting patients before the operation can stabilize patients' emotion and reduce their stress reaction and mental tension so as to help them get through the perioperative period more smoothly.

Objective To study the expression of endothelin-1(ET-1) and endothelial nitric oxide synthase(eNOS) mRNA in the villus of pre-eclampsia and the effect of the ET-1 and eNOS on umbilical artery flow velocity wareforms. Methods Dot blotting, DIG-labeled human ET-1 and eNOS cDNA probes were used to examine the expression of the ET-1 and eNOS gene in the placental villus tissues of women with normal gestation and pre-eclampsia. Leica QWIN image disposal and analysis system were used to assess the mean OD of every dot. Colour doppler was used to examine the umbilical artery flow the day before childbirth. Results The level of ET-1 mRNA in placental villus was significantly higher in pre-eclampsia group than the normal group(0.43?0.03 versus 0.23?0.44,P

Objective: To examine the association between the cross-resistance to ethionamide (Eto) and isoniazid (INH) and mutations of drug resistant genes in Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB), so as to provide the evidence for clinical diagnosis and treatment for multidrug-resistant (MDR) tuberculosis. Methods: Totally 126 MTB clinical isolates were selected, including 88 MDR-MTB clinical isolates and 38 INH- and rifampicin (RFP)-sensitive isolates. The resistance to INH and Eto was tested in MTB clinical isolates using the drug susceptibility test, and the mutations in the spacer region of INH and Eto resistance-related katG, inhA, ethA, mshA, ndh, spacer region of oxyR-ahpC and inhA promoter were detected using PCR assay. The phenotypic resistance served as a gold standard, and the sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of gene mutation tests were calculated for detection of MTB clinical isolates cross-resistant to INH and Eto. Results: Of the 126 MTB clinical isolates, there were 37 isolates cross-resistant to INH and Eto (29.37%), 51 isolates with resistance to INH and susceptibility to Eto (40.48%), 4 isolates with susceptibility to INH and resistance to Eto (3.17%) and 34 isolates with susceptibility to INH and Eto (26.98%). Among the 41 Eto-resistant MTB clinical isolates, there were 37 isolates with resistance to INH (90.24%). There were 64 MTB clinical isolates detected with katG mutations (50.79%), 4 isolates with mutation in the spacer region of oxyR-ahpC (3.17%), 2 isolates with inhA mutations (1.59%), and these isolates were all resistant to INH. There were 11 MTB clinical isolates detected with mutation in the inhA promoter (8.73%) and one isolate with ndh mutation, and all these isolates were cross-resistant to INH and Eto. There were 23 MTB clinical isolates detected with ethA mutations (18.25%) and 40 isolates with mshA mutations (31.75%), in which Eto-susceptible and -resistant isolates were detected. The diagnostic sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of inhA promoter tests for detection of cross-resistance to INH and Eto were 29.73% (95%CI: 16.44%-47.17%), 100.00% (95%CI: 87.36%-100.00%) and 63.38% (95%CI: 51.76%-73.63%) in MTB clinical isolates. Conclusions The prevalence of INH resistance is high in Eto-resistant MTB clinical isolates. Mutation in the inhA promoter region correlates with the cross-resistance to INH and Eto in MTB clinical isolates, and detection of mutation in the inhA promoter may be feasible to detect the cross-resistance to INH and Eto in MTB clinical isolates.

Aim To investigate the effect of puerarin on proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells and the expression of TRPM3 mRNA.Methods Proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of puerarin in MC3T3-E1 cells were determined using CCK-8 assay, alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity assay, and Alizarin Red Staining, respectively.Effect of puerarin on cell cycle and intracellular calcium concentration of MC3T3-E1 cells was detected by flow cytometry.RT-PCR was used to detect the effect of puerarin on TRPM3 mRNA expression.Resuls 0.1, 1, 10 μmol·L-1 puerarin significantly promoted the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells, reduced the proportion of cells in G1 phase, increased the proportion of G2 and S phase, of which 0.1 μmol·L-1 concentration effect was the most significant.Compared with control group, the ALP activity and mineralized nodule area of 0.1 μmol·L-1 puerarin group were significantly increased.The expression of TRPM3 mRNA and the intracellular calcium concentration were significantly decreased in 0.1 μmol·L-1 puerarin group.Conclusion Puerarin can promote the proliferation, differentiation, and mineralization of MC3T3-E1 cells, and reduce the expression level of TRPM3 mRNA and intracellular calcium concentration.

To identify the species of Mycobacterium clinical isolates by molecular biology techniques,six clinical isolates which were preliminarily recognized as Mycobacterium tuberculosis by the TCH and PNB culture methods were selected in this study.PCR was applied to amplify the oxyR-ahpC interval resistant-zone(intergenic region) and the length of PCR product in four strains was the same as that of H37Rv,while the length in the other two strains was different from that of H37Rv but same as Mycobacterium intracellulare 95002.With sequencing and on-line homology comparison with H37Rv,U18263 and U71061,the DNA sequence of oxyR-ahpC intergenic region displayed a 99% homology with Mycobacterium intracellulare U71061 and an 84% homology with Mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv.In addition,the results of hsp65 PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis and multi-locus PCR amplification in the two strains were identical with those of Mycobacterium intracellulare 95002.These two clinical isolates which were preliminarily recognized as Mycobacterium tuberculosis by PNB and TCH culture methods were finally identified as Mycobacterium intracellulare.Results predicted that the application associated with various techniques of molecular biology would provide a faster,easier and more correct way for the species identification of Mycobacterium.
