Objective To investigate the protection of tea polyphenols (TP) against pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Methods A total of 100 rats were randomly devided into five groups:the sham operation group, the model control group, the high-, medium-and low-dose TP groups. Two hours after reperfusion, the PO2 and the lung tissue wet/dry (W/D) ratio were examined; the apoptosis index (AI) was analysised;the activity of SOD, CAT and the content of MDA in lung tissue were determined. Results Compared with the model control group, the W/D (5.7 ± 0.4, 5.5 ± 0.4 vs. 6.5 ± 0.5) and the AI (19.3%± 1.8%, 14.2%± 1.4%vs. 31.2%± 2.4%) of the high-, medium-dose groups were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01);the activity of SOD (115.2 ± 18.1 U/mg, 128.7 ± 20.9 U/mg vs. 94.7 ± 12.1 U/mg), CAT (1.3 ± 0.2 U/mg, 1.7 ± 0.4 U/mg vs. 0.9 ± 0.2 U/mg) in lung tissue of the the high-, medium-dose groups groups were significantly increased (P<0.05 or P<0.01), and the content of MDA (1.1 ± 0.3 nmol/L, 1.0 ± 0.3 nmol/L vs. 1.6 ± 0.5 nmol/L) were significantly decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). The PO2 (93.4%± 4.0%vs. 85.9%± 3.4%) of the high-dose group were significantly increased compared to the model group (P<0.01). Conclusion TPs could effectively lower the W/D, increase the PO2, inhibit the hepatocyte apoptosis, lower the AI, suggesting that TPs had protective effects against pulmonary ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats, which perhaps related to its effects of improving antioxidant ability and inhibiting the oxidative stress.

BACKGROUND:In vitro experiments have confirmed that human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can be induced to differentiate into hepatocyte-like cells, thus which can be considered to function as liver repair.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the therapeutic effect of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem celltransplantation on acute liver injuries in rats through in vivo animal experiments.
METHODS:Healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups:normal control group without modeling, celltransplantation group, and PBS group. Rat models of acute liver injury were prepared by 10%CCl4-olive oil solution in the celltransplantation and PBS groups which were fol owed by intraperitoneal injection of 0.5 mL human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cellsuspension and 0.5 mL PBS, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed that pathological changes related to acute liver injury appeared at 24 hours after intraperitoneal injection of CCl 4 . Then, the liver structure recovered at 7 days after celltransplantation, but it did not recover til the 14th day after PBS injection. Compared with the normal control group, serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels were significantly increased in the other two groups (P<0.05-0.01). In the celltransplantation group, the serum alanine aminotransferase and aspartate aminotransferase levels were significantly lower than those in the PBS group at 3 days after treatment (P<0.05-0.01), and recovered normal y after 7 days. cells positive for anti-human nucleoprotein antibody were found in the portal area of liver tissues in the celltransplantation group after 3 days of transplantation, and then cells positive for anti-human albumin antibody appeared after 7 days. These findings indicate that intraperitoneal transplantation of human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells can improve liver function and repair injured liver tissues after acute liver injury in rats to some extent.

Objective To investigate the expression of Chemerin in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia(CIN) and cervical cancer and its relation with clinicopathological characteristics.Methods The expression of Chemerin was determined with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) in 35 cervical cancer cases,20 cervical intraepithelial neoplasia cases and 20 normal persons.The association of serum level of Chemerin with clinicopathological charactersistics was analyzed.Results The level of Chemerin was the highest in cervical cancer cases [(2113.35 ± 198.64) ng/L],higher in CIN [(1562.78 ± 158.65) ng/L],and low in normal persons [(946.36 ± 113.57) ng/L],showing significant difference among three groups.The serum level of Chemerin in cervical cancer were positively correlated with Federation International of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO) stage and lymph node metastasis (P ＜ 0.05).Serum Chemerin levels were increased with clinical FIGO stage and showed significantly positive correlation with FIGO stage (rs =0.92,P =O.000).Conclusions The expression of Chemerin in patients with cervical carcinoma is increased.Chemerin may be used as reference indicator to predict its progression in cervical carcinoma.

Objective:To establish a method to determine benzoic in ibuprofen suspension. Methods:The determination of ben-zoic was performed on a Kromasil C18 (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) column with the mobile phase consisting of 0. 05 mol·L-1 monopo-tassium phosphate and acetonitrile (72 ∶28). The detection wavelength was 235 nm and the column temperature was 30℃. The injec-tion volume was 10μl. Results:The limit of detection was 3. 57 ng and benzoic had a good linear relationship within the range of 12. 5-200. 0 μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 9). The solution was stable in 24 hours. The average recovery was 98. 42% and RSD was 0. 98% (n=9) . Conclusion:The method is simple, repeatable and accurate, and can be used for the determination of benzoic in ibuprofen sus-pension.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of recombinant human growth hormone (rhGH) on gastric mucosa of rats with hemorrhagic shock. Methods Eighteen healthy male Sprague Dawley (SD) rats were randomly assigned into 3 groups, 6 rats for each group: control group, hemorrhagic shock group and rhGH treated group. The animals in control group were subjected to anaesthesia and intubation, without hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation, and all the parameters were determined 4h after intubation. The animals in hemorrhagic shock group and the rhGH treated group were not only given anaesthesia, intubation for carotid artery and internal jugular vein, but also reproduced as hemorrhagic shock-resuscitation model by bleeding from carotid artery and blood transfusion via internal jugular vein. The animals in rhGH treated group were given rhGH (1.5U/kg) when resuscitation began. In the hemorrhagic shock group and rhGH treated group all the parameters were determined 2h after resuscitation. Gastric mucosal blood flow (GMBF) was determined with laser doppler flowmetry (LDF), and the extent of gastric mucosal injury was assessed with optical microscope and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Results GMBF of the rats in hemorrhagic shock group was significantly lower than that in control group (260.4?49.6bpu vs. 418.6?57.3bpu, P0.05). The gastric mucosa injuries in the rats of rhGH treated group were greatly improved. Conclusion The rhGH, through enhancing the GMBF, can ameliorate the gastric mucosal ischemic-reperfusion injury in rats with hemorrhagic shock.

OBJECTIVE: To learn the influence the gentamycin on C57BL/6J mice hear and cochlear hair cell ribbon synapses CaV1.3 calcium protein amount. To explore the relationship between hear loss and its dosage correlation change and significance. METHOD: The fixed amino glucoside to C57BL/6J mice was used to make abdominal cavity injection mold every day. The auditory brain-stem response ABR was used to measure the hear of mice in 7th, 14th, 28th after the injection. Immunofluorescence method was used to observe cochlear basement membrane of hair ribbon synapse CaV1.3 calcium channel proteins in the distribution and expression. Inner hair cells synaptic membrane was immune fluorescent tags with CtbP2 and CaV1. 3. RESULT: With the growth of the injected drugs, ABR threshold increased,but all the hair cells and shape had no obvious change. However the amount of hair rib bon synapse CaV1.3 calcium ion channel proteins in the expression had significant differences (P < 0.01). CaV1.3 calcium ion channel proteins increased slightly lower than normal at 7th day, significantly decreased at 14th day, had increased, increased quantity compare with 14th day, but at 28th day after intraperitoneal injection of gentamicin. CONCLUSION The increasing,decreasing and increasing trend of cochlear hair cells CaV1.3 proteins in the environment of amino glucoside drug toxicity showed that the increase of hair ribbon synapse CaV1.3 proteins may have a compensatory effect on the drug toxicity. With the increase of the drug toxicity effect, this kind of decompensated function could be the listening decline, which may be one of the mechanism of damage to hearing.

Objective To observe early histopathological changes in explosive wounds at canine limbs after seawater inmersion.Methods Forty adult dogs,weighing 10 to 15 kg each,were assigned into 2 equal groups.The left hind limb of each dog in both groups was injured by a man-made explosion.The explosive wound was first washed by normal sodium.The 20 injured limbs in the experimental group (EG)were immersed in seawater for one hour while those in the control group (CG) were only exposed naturally for one hour without seawater immersion.All the wounds were covered with sterile dressing without suture.The pus and soft tissue at the wound were taken for pathological examination,bacterial culture and drug sensitivity test on day 3.The time of wound healing was recorded.Tissue sections were taken from the wounds for pathological examination at 4 and 8 weeks.Results Fifteen wounds (75％) were infected in the EG,significantly more than the 8 wounds infected (40％) in the CG( P ＜ 0.05).The wounds healed in a mean time of 38.4 days in the EG,significantly longer than the mean time for wound healing (23.1 days) in the CG ( P ＜ 0.05).In the EG,Vibrio infection caused more serious tissue necrosis and inflammatory reaction than Bacillus and coccus did.At 4 and 8 weeks,tissue necrosis and inflammatory reaction in the EG were worse than those in the CG.Conclusion Seawater immersion can lead to increased infective tissue necrosis and inflammatory reaction in an explosive wound,as well as longer time for wound healing.

BACKGROUND:Finite element contact analysis was performed in premolars of lower mandible with enamelo-dentinal junction defects, which provided biomechanical evidence for the prevention of wedge-shaped defect and occlusion treatment.
OBJECTIVE:To analyze the effects of undermining damage of the enamelo-dentinal junction on the stress distribution of sclerous tissues of dental cervix.
METHODS:Triangle defects were established and models of wedge-shaped defect were designed in mandibular premolar along the enamelo-dentinal junction. The stresses during tightly biting and masticatory movement were simulated. Nonlinear contact analysis was conducted in sclerous tissues of mandibular premolar in the buccal cervical region.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:By simulating the stresses during tightly biting and masticatory movement, the stresses were concentrated in the defected regions of mandibular premolar at the enamelo-dentinal junction. With the defect length increased in size, the stress value and the magnitude of the stress field both increased. These indicated that the destruction of enamelo-dentinal junction altered stress distribution in the buccal cervical region. In the clinic, wedge-shaped defect should be fil ed promptly.
