Objective To investigate whether uninduced autologous bone-marrow mononuclear cell (ABM-MNC) could survive and differentiate into myocardial cells and endothelial cells in the infarcted heart. Methods 40 male big-ear Japanese rabbits were divided into two groups randomly: the transplanted group (n=20) and the control group (n=20). The model of acute myocardial infarction was made by left anterior descending artery ligation, which was confirmed by ECG. The cardiac function was evaluated by the echocardiography. 7 days later, BrdU labeled ABM-MNCs were injected into infarcted and marginal area myocardium in the transplanted group, while the control rabbits were injected with saline. 6 weeks later, the hearts were harvested for histology and immunohistochemistry evaluation. Results In the transplanted group, viable cells labeled with BrdU could be identified in the infarcted area, and myocytes and endothelial cells labeled with BrdU can also be found in the border area, these cells demonstrate myogenic differentiation with the expression of α-Actin by immunostaining. Moreover, the vessel density of the transplanted group in the borders of the infarction was higher than the control group (P＜0. 05), but there was no difference in the infarcted areas between two groups (P＞0.05). At the 6 weeks after experiment, the cardiac function was improved in both groups, but the transplanted group improved more than that in the control group (P＜0.05). Conclusion Autologous bone-marrow mononuclear cells injected into the infarcted myocardium could survive in both the infarcted and the border areas, differentiated into endothelial cells and other cells which have obtained the characters of myocytes, and increase the vessel density in border area, improved the cardiac function.

Objective To establish a RP-HPLC method for the determination of drug release in vitro of atractylenolide Ⅰ liposomes. Methods The release behavior of the drug from liposomes was studied by the third method for dissolution. ZORBAX C18 column (4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm) was used with a mobile phase of Methanol-Acetonitrile-0.2% from liposomes in vitro fitted the log-normal distribution equation and had a property of sustained release. Conclusion The method is simple, fast and selective. It is suitable for the determination of release profile in vitro of atractylenolide Ⅰ liposomes.

Objective To optimize the prescription and preparation technclogy of ligustilide liposomes. Methods Ligustilide liposomes were prepared by ethanol injection method. The encapsulation efficiency was taken as inspection target and the preparation of liposomes was optimized by orthogonal design. HPLC was used to measure the encapsulation efficiency. Results The best prescription was ligustilide-lecithin (1:10),lecithin-cholesterol (2:1),the water phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.5),the hydration temperature was 35 ℃. Conclusion The optimized formulation of ligustilide is reasonable in prescription and practicable in technology.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution and drug resistance of nosocomial infection pathogens.METHODS The data of pathogen′s origin and antibacterial resistance of Intensive Care Unit(ICU) inpatients from Apr 2008 to Mar 2009 in a Hospital were analyzed.RESULTS There were 226 strains pathogens isolated from 116 nosocomial infection cases,from which the Gram-negative bacteria were predominate(63.27%).The resistance rates of Acinetobacter baumannii was the highest in Gram-negative bacteria,more than 70% isolates resistant to almost antibacterial.The main Gram-positive bacteria were Staphylococcus aureus,and the rate of meticillin-resistant S.aureus(MRSA) was 41.3%.All S.aureus were sensitive to vancomycin and Linezolid.CONCLUSIONS To control the antibacterial resistance of pathogens and decrease the nosocomial infection,it is important to strengthen the appropriate use of antibiotics.

The plant resources, distribution, extraction, pharmacological effects and its application in medicine of flavonoids procyanidins were reviewed based on the literature, in order to provide the basis for further application and comprehensive development.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the expressions of serum vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF), matrix metalloproteinases 9 (MMP-9) before and after chemoradiotherapy and biological behaviors for patients with esophageal cancer. Methods The data of 65 cases with esophageal cancer were analyzed respectively, including 44 cases of primary esophageal cancer and 21 cases of postoperative esophageal cancer. Serum VEGF and MMP-9 before and after chemoradiotherapy were measured, and their relationship with clinicopathological features of esophageal cancer patients was also investigated. Results Serum VEGF level in primary patients [613.50 ng/ml (387.00 - 1127.00 ng/ml)] was significant higher than that in postoperative patients [78.00 ng/ml (40.00 - 196.50 ng/ml)] (Z= -3.493, P= 0.000). There was no difference in serum MMP-9 level with or without surgery, and serum MMP-9 level in primary patients [686.00 ng/ml (434.00 - 1211.25 ng/ml)] has no difference in postoperative patients [637.00 ng/ml (362.00-906.50 ng/ml)] (Z=-0.743, P=0.457). There was no significant correlation in serum VEGF, MMP-9 level with gender, age, tumor pathological type and tumor location in postoperative and primary patients (all P>0.05). There was no significant difference in serum VEGF, MMP-9 level before or after chemoradiotherapy in postoperative patients (P=0.339, P=0.689), but there was a difference in primary patients (P= 0.000, P= 0.001). The changes of serum VEGF, MMP-9 levels were synergistic (r= 0.451, P<0.001). Conclusion The dynamic monitoring and comparison of serum VEGF, MMP-9 levels can predict the efficacy of esophageal cancer and guide the individualized therapy.
