Dermatovenereology have developed rapidly in fields including genodermatology, dermatological epidemiology, skin immunology, infectious skin diseases, clinical diagnosis, drug treatment, light therapy, and sexually transmitted diseases in recent years. Meanwhile, many skin diseases and a few venereal diseases still lack effective ways of treatment and control. More efforts should be made in both basic and clinical researches in the related fields.

BACKGROUND:As a material to repair osteochondral defect,the acellular cartilage matdx has attracted more and more researchers'attention,however,there is no comparison between two ways of decelluladzation.OBJECTIVE:To test trypsin and Triton X-100 methods for their potential of cell removal.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Controlled observation was performed at the Central Laboratory of Orthopaedics in the Second Hospital of Shanxi Medical University between March and July in 2008.MATERIALS:Fresh knee and hip articular cartilages of pig were purchased from the market.METHODS:Porcine articular cartilages were treated with either 0.25%trypsin or 0.25% Triton X-100 respectively for decelluladzation,while fresh untreated articular cartilage served as control.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①General observation on the morphology of acellular articular cartilage.②Immunohistochemistry and scanning electron microscopy were used to determine the effect of two decellularization methods on the extracellular matrix collagen.③Ten articular cartilage leaflets in each group were measured for breaking strength and percentage elongation through loading,unloading and breaking tests.RESULTS:①By use of trypsin and Triton X-100 methods,the acellular matrix had no significance difference in the morphology compared with untreated cartilage,only presenting slightly white color and feeling less soft.②lmmunohistochemistry and scanning electron microscopy results showed that,trypsin and Triton X-100 methods achieved complete decelluladzation.Trypsin had no significant influence in extracellular matrix and cartilage leaflets microstructure;Triton X-100 caused some tiny structural alterations,such as more collagen and disordered structure.It is possibly that Triton X-100 damaged extracellular matrix.③No significant difference was identified between untreated and trypsin,Triton X-100 groups in breaking strength and percentage elongation.CONCLUSION:Trypsin and Triton X-100 all achieve complete decellularization.but trypsin uses short time and low costs with well preservation,while Triton X-100 with long procedure and slight damage to collagen structure.They all have no significance influence to the mechanics characteristics of articular cartilage.

Objective To report a rare case of M3r subtype of acute promyelocytic leukemia (APL)with 3'-end of RARα (3'RARα) submicroscopic deletion, and the characters of morphologic, cytogenetic,molecular genetic and molecular biology studies. Methods Chromosomes of bone marrow (BM) cells were prepared with direct method and short-term culture method, and R-banding technique was used for karyotypic analysis. Fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) assays were performed on fixed BM cells using the following specific DNA probes: CEP X/Y alpha satellite DNA probe, LSI PML-RARα dual-color dual-fusion and LSI RARα dual-color break apart probes. A quantitative real-time reverse-transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was performed to detect the PML-RARα transcript. A multiplex nested RT-PCR was also performed, which may simultaneously detect the fusion genes derived from 29 chromosomal aberrations in acute leukemia including PML-RARα, PLZF-RARα and NPM-RARα fusion transcripts. Results R-banding analysis revealed a karyotype of 45,X,-Y[6]/46,XY[8], FISH using CEP X/Y probe further confirmed Y-chromosome loss. FISH analysis with RARα dual-color break apart probe demonstrated a deletion of the entire 3'-end of one allele of RARα gene. Cytogenetic, FISH and RT-PCR analyses showed no PML-RARα,PLZF-RARα, NPM-RARα, NuMA-RARα and STAT5b-RARα rearrangements. Conclusion A new RARαrearrangement involving 3'RARα submicroscopic deletion in APL without X-RARα fusion has been identified.FISH analysis with RARα dual-color break apart probe is a useful method for characterization of this abnormality, but its molecular consequences remain to be elucidated.

Objective To study the clinical characteristics by using CT, MRI and biochemistry test on the X linked adrenoleukodystrophy (X ALD) Methods The clinical,neuro imaging and determinations of plasma very long chain fatty acids (VLCFAs) of 12 cases with X ALD were analysed Results The main clinical features consisted of the childhood onset,progressive auditory, visual and/or intelligent impairment, behavioural changes,epileptic seizures and melanodermia. CT or MRI scans demonstrated that the demyelinating lesions were located on the bilateral white matter in occipital,posterior parietal and temporal lobes.The levels of hexacosanoic acid (C 26:0 ) and the ratio of C 26:0 to docosanoic acid (C 22:0 ) were increased. Conclusions ALD is an inherited disease as an X linked trait.The childhood X ALD is characteristiced by progressive auditory, visual and intelligent deterioration.The abnormalities of CT or MRI scan and the levels of the plasma VLCFAs are crucial to the diagnosis of X ALD.

Human milk plays an irreplaceable role in nutrition, immune promotion and psychological development of infants.And it can also decrease the risk of infectious disease, overweight/obesity, diabetes and other diseases.Therefore, the guidelines of various countries advocate that human milk is the optimal choice for infants.However, cases of food allergy in infants fed with human milk are common in clinical practice.Some studies have found that there are some active food antigens in human milk, which can stimulate immune responses and cause allergic symptoms in infants.At present, the mechanism of food allergy in infants fed with human milk is not clear, and this paper is to review the progress in this field in recent years.

Objective To observe the effect of astragalus polysaccharides ( APS) on glucose homeostasis regulation and focus on glycogen synthase kinase 3 beta (GSK3 beta) activity and subcellular localization (nuclear translocation).Methods HepG2 human hepatoma cells were cultured in vitro and treated with high glucose of different concentrations (30, 40 mM) to induce hepatocyte endoplasmic reticulum stress model, then acquire optimum operating concentration.The HepG2 cells were treated with APS of different concentrations (50, 100, 200, 400 μg/mL) to select the most effective concentration.The HepG2 cells were divided into seven groups with different treatment: negative control group (C), positive control group (Tm), 30 mM high glucose-induced group (G30), 45 mM high glucose-induced group (G45), negative control+APS group (CA), positive control+APS group ( TA) and high glucose-induced+APS group ( GA).Effect of APS at different concentrations on proliferation activity of HepG2 cells were detected by MTT assay, transcription and shear levels of XBPlmRNA in HepG2 cells by quantitative real-time PCR, and phosphorylation levels of GSK3βin cytoplasm and nucleus by immunoblotting techniques.Results The optimum operating glucose concentration was 30 mM.The most effective APS concentration was 200μg/mL.The transcription and shear levels of XBPlmRNA in HepG2 cells of GA group were lower than those of G30 group ( P<0.05), respectively, but there were no significant differences between TA and Tm group.The phosphorylation levels of GSK3βin cytoplasm and nucleus of GA group were higher than those of G group(P<0.05), respectively, but there were no significant differences between TA and Tm group. Conclusion APS could improve hepatic steatosis, and its mechanism might be that APS inhibits the activity and nuclear localization of GSK3β, then alleviate endoplasmic reticulum stress.
