Objective To investigate the role of platelet-derived growth factor-β receptor (PDGFR-β) in self-renewal of neural stem cells (NSCs).Methods In this study,NSCs of subventricular zone were isolated and cultured from PDGFR-β knockout (PDGFR-β-/-) mice of postnatal day 1 (P1) and P28;the number and diameters of secondary neurospheres were calculated;using 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine (BrdU) incorporation assay and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay,cell proliferation and survival rates were analyzed;gene expression profiles were determined by PCR-array analyses;the effect of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) on secondary neurospheres formation was examined in these cells.Results In PDGFR-β-/-NSCs,stem cell activities,such as number (/well;P1:25.9±1.3vs117.6±3.6,t=4.236,P＜0.01;P28:13.8± 0.7vs 19.8±0.6,t=2.116,P＜0.01)and diameters (μm;P1:67.7±1.9 vs 69.1 ±2.0,t=3.211,P＜0.01;P28:33.4±0.8vs37.8±0.8,t=2.354,P ＜0.01) of secondary neurospheres,cell proliferation (％;P1:73.3 ± 2.7 vs 88.7 ± 3.6,t =2.773,P ＜ 0.05;P28:28.6 ± 9.6 vs 68.2 ± 4.5,t =6.302,P ＜ 0.05) and survival rates (％;P1:14.5 ±2.1 vs 9.3 ± 1.3,t =7.222,P ＜ 0.05),were significantly lower as compared with age-matched controls.In comparison of the same genotypic NSCs,the decrease of secondary neurosphere formation was more striking in P28 NSCs than in P1 NSCs.PCR Array analyses demonstrated that expressions of fibroblast growth factor2 and BDNF were decreased (-2.04 ± 0.25,t =2.653,P ＜ 0.05;-3.24 ± 0.37,t =1.324,P ＜ 0.05),and Noggin (2.31 ± 0.37,t =2.749,P ＜ 0.05) was increased in P1 PDGFR-β-/-NSCs as compared with P1 controls.Addition of BDNF rescued the number and diameter of secondary neurospheres in P1 PDGFR-β-/-NSCs to similar levels as controls.Conclusions PDGFR-β signaling may play a role in the selfrenewal and proliferation of NSCs.BDNF may be involved in the effects of PDGFR-β signaling in these cells.

The non-invasive positive-pressure ventilation(NPPV) play an important role in treating patient with upper airway obstructive diseases.The use of NPPV in children has significantly increased in recent years internationally.Nevertheless,the paediatric NPPV support in China was less reported.This review aimed to clarify the indications,efficacy and technical methods in NPPV,and therefore searched papers including clinical studies,reviews and guidelines focusing on children with upper airway obstructive diseases who were treated on NPPV.The review concluded that NPPV is a treatment choice for patient who has upper airway obstruction and can not be solved by surgery.The NPPV avoids the impairment to the body caused by recurrent hypoxemia and arousals,decreases the rate of intubation and improves the quality of life.NPPV need to be preformed in a professional children's medical center.Education and training for the parent is the key point of improving treatment compliance.

0.05). Conclusion The present method has many advantages such as simplicity of operation,rapidity,better accuracy for the accurate quantitative analysis of urinary manganese.

A method for the digestion of food samples by using PTFE closed-vessel microwave oven has been established. Six elements in the solution were determined by ICP-AES. The effects of various acid mixtures and digestion time were studied. 0.2 g of powdered samples dried for four hours at 80℃ were weighed and put into 50 ml PTFE digestion vessels. 2 ml of 70% HNO3 and 1 ml of 30% H2O2 were added to each sample digestion vessel. The screw caps were tightened and placed on the microwave oven PTFE turntable for 3 min at 100% full power (500W). When digestion was finished, the vessels were cooled for 10 min in a medical refrigerator at -25℃. The sample solutions were diluted to 25 ml with subboiling water. The contents of Ca, Mg, Mn, Fe, Zn and Cu in 3 standard reference materials were determined by ICP-AES. The results are in good agreement with certified values.

Objective To investigate the influence of Zafirlukast on the inflammatory factors and immune function of patients with seasonal allergic asthma.Methods 182 patients with seasonal allergic asthma from the department of respiratory in our hospital were selected and divided into two groups, 91 cases in each group.The control group treated with budesonide and formoterol fumarate powder for inhalation, the experiment group received Zafirlukast on the basis of the control group,serum levels of inflammatory cytokines,peripheral blood T lymphocyte subsets,serum immunoglobulin levels, lung function,and the clinical effect were compared after the treatment.Results Compared with the control group, serum levels of TNF-,IL-4,IL-6 were lower, level of IL-10 was higher in the experiment group after treatment, CD8 +T lymphocyte levels was lower, CD3 +, CD4 +T lymphocyte and CD4 +/CD8 +ratio levels were higher after treatment, serum levels of IgE, IgG, IgA were lower after treatment, levels of PEF,FEV1 ,FEV1/FVC were higher after treatment, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The effective rate in the experiment group 94.51% was higher than the control group 81.32% (P<0.05).Conclusion Zafirlukast can significantly reduce the levels of serum inflammatory factors in patients with seasonal allergic asthma, improve the cellular immune function, reduce the level of immunoglobulin, effectively improve lung function, shorten the length of hospital stay, has better clinical curative effect.

BACKGROUND: Lumbar spondylolisthesis directly reduces contact areas between dislocated vertebral body and subjacent vertebral body, which is an important factor that decides intervertebral stress and lumbar degeneration. The cross section of lumbar is irregular reniform shaped and there is no mathematical formula to calculate changing regularity of intervertebral contact areas of lumbar spondylolisthesis directly.OBJECTIVE: To study changing regularity of intervertebral contact areas during lumbar spondylolisthesis and to analyze its clinical significance. METHODS: Super-surface of L5 vertebra and sub-surface of L4 from 25 cases were taken by a digital camera and computer simulation spondylolisthesis process and every intervertebral contact areas (Sn) were measured by Image-Pro Plus software. The mean value was obtained and converted into percentage area according to Sn%=Sn/S×100%. The change rules of vertebral bodies were observed from 0 to 100% spondylolisthesis. Based on this regularity, a new clinical stage of lumbar spondylolisthesis was proposed and guided for treatment of 56 cases with lumbar spondylolisthesis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: During lumbar spondylolisthesis process, Sn% changes like a hyperbola. Sn% lost slowly during spondylolisthesis rate at 0-23% and quickly during 23%-44%, and then it become slowly once again after spondylolisthesis rate at 44%-100%, the inflection points appeared at (23±2)% and (44±2)%. Totally 48 patients were followed up, according to Staufee standard rate, the clinical curative effect reached approximately 90%. It suggests that the intervertebral contact areas present with a non-linear change, which is helpful to judge the stability of lumbar spine and guide the treatment of lumbar spondylolisthesis.
