Objective To explore the application of diffusion tensor imaging in the assessment of ischemic muscle in hind-limb ischemia model of rabbit. Methods Excision of femoral artery in unilateral hind limb was done in 14 New Zealand white rabbits and ischemic model were established in 12 rabbits. Three (12 rabbits),10(10 rabbits) ,28(7 rabbits),56(5 rabbits) days after the model establishment, DTI scan was performed on bilateral hind limbs in each of the models, respectively and, λ_1,λ_2,λ_3, ADC and FA values were measured. Histological analysis was also performed at these time points. Pared t test was used to compare the differences of these indexes in bilateral hind limbs. Results Following femoral artery excision, a rapid ascending of ADC,λ_2,λ_3 values with sharply reduced FA value was observed in ligated hind-limb, which reached maximal on 3 days post-excision (ADC_(ligated)= 1.72±0.16, ADC_(unligated)= 1.53±0.16, t = 6.48, P < 0.01 ; λ_(2 ligated)= 1.70±0.15, λ_(2 unligated)= 1.51±0.06, t=10.87, P < 0.01 ; λ_(3 ligated_ =1.17±0.12, λ_(3 unligated)= 0.88±0.12, t=6.67, P < 0.01 ; FA_(ligated)= 0.24±0.04, FA_(unligated) =0.39±0.03, t = -10.61 ,P <0.01) and histologic analysis revealed the severest muscle damag at that time. Ischemic muscle recovered very slowly during the first 10 day post-excision accompanied with reduction of ADC , λ_2, λ_3 values, however there was also difference of ADC,λ_2, λ_3 values between ligated and nonligated limbs except λ_1 ( ADC_(ligated) = 1.65±0. 16, ADC_(unligated)= 1.50±0.12, t =6.42, P <0.01 ; λ_(2 ligated) = 1.62±0.32, λ_(2 unligated) =1.48±0.31, t=5.09, P < 0.01) ; λ_(3 ligated)= 1.11±0.13, λ_(3 unligated)= 0.85±0.09, t=6.26, P <0. 01;λ_(1 ligated)=2.20±0.21, λ_(1 unligated) =2.18+0.20, t=0.87, P=0.40). After 28 days, ADC and λ_3 returned to normal (ADC_(ligated)= 1.51±0. 16, ADC_(unligated)= 1.55±0.14, t=-1.35, P=0.23 ; λ_(3 ligated) =0.95±0. 10, λ_(3 unligated)= 0.92±0.06, t=1.70, P=0.14), but λ_2 and FA of ligated limb were still different from those of nonligated limb (λ_(2 ligated)= 1.45±0.23, λ_(2 unligated)= 1.52±0. 95, t=-3.56, P=0.012; FA_(ligated)=0.35±0.02, FA_(unligated)=0.40±0.03, t=-3.83, P<0.01). After 56 days, all parameters retuned to normal(ADC_(ligated) =1.57±0.18, ADC_(unligated)=1.58±0.23, t=-0.71, P=0.52; λ_(1 ligated) =2.18±0.18, λ_(1 unligated)=2.24±0.14, t=-0.22, P=0.10; λ_(2 ligated)=1.64±0.13, λ_(2 unligated)=1.59±0.15, t=0.89, P=0.42; λ_(3 ligated)=0.89±0.1,λ_(3 unligated)=0.91±0.07, t=- 1.64,P= 0.18; FA_(ligated)= 0.39±0. 03, FA_(unligated)= 0.41±0.02, t=-0.83, P=0.47). Conclusion DTI is a quantitative and relatively accurate technique to assess time-dependent changes of ischemic muscle in hindlimb ischemia model of rabbit.

Objective To investigate the effects of CD40-P227A SNP at human B cell signaling and function. Methods Human Ramos B cells were transfected with plasmids of CFP fusion wild type CD40 and mutant type CD40-P227A, together with plasmids of luciferase fusion NF-κB and AP-1, as well as plasmids of GFP fusion NF-κB. Activation of NF-κB and AP-1 pathway were detected by luciferase assay and flow cytometry, degradation of IκBα and nuclear translocation of NF-κB subunits were tested by Western blot and transfactor ELISA assay. Results Compared with wild type CD40, CD40-P227A SNP induced more degradation of IκBα, increased nuclear translocation of p65, p50 and c-Rel. As well as higher activity of NF-κB, as shown by increased NF-κB luciferase and GFP-NF-κB expressing B cells. Moreover, CD40-P227A SNP induced more activation of AP-1 pathway than CD40. CD40-P227A enhanced B cells function by inducing more excretion of IL-6 and TNF-α. Conclusion Our data indicate that CD40-P227A is a gain-of-function phenotype which induces activation of NF-κB and AP-1 signaling pathways and may contribute to the pathogenesis of the SLE autoimmune disease.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and the resistance variance tendency of the pathogenic bacteria isolated from the blood cultureing specimens collected during the period of 2002-2005.METHODS A retrospective analysis was made to the blood cultureing results during the period of 2002-2005 with WHONET 5.1 software.RESULTS Gram-negative rods were the predominant bacteria which caused sepsicemia,the isolated rates of Escherichia coli,Klebsiella pneumoniae and Staphylococcus aureus were the most high during the period of 2002-2004 but the S.epidermidis and S.hominis were also the important pathogenic ones which caused blood stream infection.Vancomycin and the teicoplanin were the most effective to the Gram-positive bacteria,and the imipenem and the cefepime were the most effective to the Gram-negative ones.CONCLUSIONS It′s important to strengthen the blood cultureing for blood stream infection patient.

Objective To investigate the role of TRAF6 in NF-?B and AP-1 signaling pathway in human B cell line.Methods Human Ramos B cells were transfected with plasmids expressing YFP fusion dominant-negative TRAF6(DN-TRAF6),or transfected with shRNA-TRAF6 plasmid.After incubation overnight,cells were either sorted with flowcytometry or screened by G418.Activation of NF-?B and AP-1 pathway,including phosphorylation of I?B?,ERK,JNK and P38,as well as nuclear translocation of NF-?B subunits(P65,P50 and c-Rel)and AP-1 subunits(C-FOS,C-JUN,CREB and ATF) were detected by Western blot and ELISA.Results In cells which overexpress DN-TRAF6 or endogenous TRAF6 expression were knocked-down by shRNA,the phosphorylation of I?B?,as well as phosphorylation of JNK were inhibited.Furthermore,nuclear translocation of NF-?B subunits P65,P50,c-Rel,and AP-1 subunits C-FOS and C-JUN were also inhibited in B cells through overexpression of DN-TRAF6.Conclusion TRAF6 selectively activates some kinases in CD40 mediated NF-?B and AP-1 signaling pathway,and plays an important role in their activation.
