Objective: To investigate the possible mechanism of neuroprotection produced by taurine supplement on brain in young rats. Methods: In vitro, taurine treatment or co-treatment with sodium selenite that produced significant neuronal apoptosis was used in cultured cortical neurons to examine the neuroprotection effect using MTT assay and DNA fragmentation electrophoresis. In vivo, female weanling Sprague Dawley rats were divided into four groups, eight rats per group. The treated groups were fed on diets with different contents of taurine respectively, and the control group was fed on taurine unsupplemented diets. The experiment lasted five weeks. Results: Taurine significantly increased neuronal survival in dose-dependent manner. The typical DNA ladder pattern could be prevented by taurine. Taurine could elevate brain wet weight, and significantly increased the level of taurine, protein and AChE in brain. Conclusion: It is proposed that the neuroprotection effect of taurine could be achieved by modulating expression of related genes and blocking neuronal apoptosis.

Objective To explore the role of p38MAPK and TGF?2 in the development of diabetic retinopathy.Methods Fifteen Hamsters were induced into diabetic models by intraperitoneal injection of Streptozotocin(40 mg/kg once a day) for 3 d and 13 Hamsters were successfully established,whose blood glucose was over 13.5 mmol/L.Ten Hamsters as controls were intraperitoneally injected of physical saline of the same volume.At 16th week after induction,the total RNA of retina from all sacrificed Hamsters was collected.The mRNA expressions of p38MAPK,TGF?2 in retina were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and their protein levels by Western blotting.Results The mRNA expressions of p38MAPK,TGF?2 in retina were of high tendency and their protein levels increased.Conclusion p38MAPK signal pathway may involve in the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy.

Background Combination of cataractopiesis with intraocular lens (IOL) is believed to improve the patient' s quality of life. However, 1OL power and axial length measured by traditional method in silicone-filled eye is normally bias to the actual levels. The optical coherence biometry technology has been widely used in the measurement of IOL, but little studies have been conducted to demonstrate the IOL power difference between those methods. Objective This study was to evaluate the predictability of IOL power calculations using the IOLMaster and adjusting contact ultrasound A-scan method in silicone oil-filled eyes. Methods Forty-four silicone-filled eyes of 42 patients were divided into 2 groups according to the intraocular pressure (IOP) ( group A: ≥ 10 mmHg group,29 eyes;group B:＜10 mmHg group, 15 eyes). IOLMaster and ocular ultrasonic measurement were used to measure the axis length before and after silicone oil was removed. The preoperatively measured eye axis and cornea curve were used to calculate the theoretical IOL. Results In normal IOP group ( T≥ 10 mmHg,29 eyes), the precision and stability of IOLMaster for axial length ( AL ) measurements and IOL power calculations were better than adjusted ultrasound A-scan( ZIOLMasterdependent = -2. 236, P = 0. 025 ), although in low IOP group ( T＜ 10 mmHg, 15 eyes),there were too much differences in axial length mesurement and IOL power calculation between the IOLMaster and adjusted ultrasound A-scan, so the post-operative imformation was not predicted accurately. Conclusion For anticipatory normal postoperative IOP eyes, the refractive outcome in cataract surgery in silicone oil-filled eyes can be predicted reliably and accurately with IOLMaster. But for complicated or anticipatory unstable postoperative IOP eyes,secondary implantation of IOL would be better.

Objective To compare the inducing effect of three kinds of connective tissue from amnion,fetal mesentery and intestinal submucosa on the differentiation of fetal BMSCs in vitro.Methods The epithelium on three kinds of connective tissue were sampled and EGF and IGF-1 in these tissue clumpes were detected.DAPI-P3-BMSCs were planted on the surface of three kinds of connective tissue to culture.There were connective tissue induced groups,connective tissue and EGF and IGF-1 induced groups,EGF and IGF-1 induced as control group.The tissue clump was collected at 8 d、10 d、12 d,to compare their inducing effect on the differentiation of BMSCs.Results All of BMSCs induced by three kinds of connective tissue and growth factors expressed CK or EMA.The effect of unite-induced groups was stronger than those groups induced by only connective tissue,P

OBJECTIVE The research aimed to investigate the incidence,clinical characteristics and risk factors of nosocomial infection in patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU,and explore the corresponding prevention procedures.METHODS Active surveillance was carried out by professional fulltime staff.The patients with mechanical ventilation in ICU above 48 hours were selected for the hospital infection surveillance,and the patients after tracheal intubation within 48 hours were also included.RESULTS The incidence of nosocomial infection was 54.28%,and the nosocomial infection were found in 69(65.71%) of the 105 cases.The major complication was mechanical ventilator-associated pneumonia(VAP).The risk factors were more than four times invasive operation and,tracheotomy(P

Objective To evaluate the capability of matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry ( MALDI-TOF MS) for rapid identification of methicillin-resistant Staphylo-coccus aureus (MRSA) and methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA) strains.Methods Twenty-five MRSA and thirty MSSA isolates were collected from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine as the experiment group .Twelve MRSA and twenty-two MSSA clinical strains were isola-ted as the control .All strains were identified by MALDI-TOF MS and the results were further analyzed by ClinProTools 3.0 software.Results Four algorithms including support vector machine (SVM), genetic al-gorithm ( GA) , supervised neural network ( SNN) and quick classifier ( QC) showed similar results in dis-tinguishing MRSA from MSSA isolates .The sensitivity of GA was 100 .0%and the sensitivities of other algo-rithms were all greater than 95.0%.The specificities of GA, SVM and QC were all greater than 90.0%. The areas under the receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curves of four characteristic peaks at mass-to-charge ratios (m/z) of 3279, 6485, 6555 and 3299 m/z were all greater than 0.9.The virtual gel view showed that the bands generated by MSSA isolates at 3279 , 6485 and 6555 m/z were obviously deeper in color than those generated by MRSA isolates .However , the bands of MSSA isolates at 3299 m/z were appar-ently lighter in color than those of MRSA isolates .83.3%of MRSA and 90.0%of MSSA isolates from the control group were correctly identified by the GA model .Conclusion MALDI-TOF MS could rapidly and accurately identify MRSA from MSSA isolates under the strictly controlled experimental conditions with the advantages of less time-consuming, high sensitivity and high specificity .The accurate identification of MRSA from MSSA isolates could be applied for the prevention and treatment of MRSA infection .

Objective To investigate the values of CD21 and CD43 proteins in the differential diagnosis of mucosa-associated marginal zone B-cell lymphoma (MALToma) from benign lymphadenosis. Methods The expression of CD21 and CD43 proteins in the tissues of 25 MALToma (case group) and 25 benign lymphadenosis (control group) was detected by immunohistochemistry. Results Abnormal CD21+follicular dendritic cells (FDC) meshes were found in all patients of case group. Most of the FDC meshes were sparse and broken, and a few were enlarged or fused into pieces. Intact CD21+FDC meshes were all found, and abnormal FDC meshes were not found in control group. The positive rate of abnormal FDC meshes in case group was significantly increased compared with that in control group (χ2 = 46.080, P= 0.000). The expression rate of CD43+in CD20+cells was 24 % (6/25) in case group, but it was negative in control group (χ2=4.375, P=0.030). Conclusions Abnormal CD21+FDC meshes and CD43+expression in CD20+cells are useful in the differential diagnosis between MALToma and benign lymphadenosis. The abnormal FDC meshes of MALToma are enlarged or fused in the minority of cases.

Objective To estimate the application for the rapid identification of common clinical bacteria by MALDI-TOF MS. MethodsFour hundred and twenty-six bacteria, including Salmonella spp strains collected from Zhejiang center for disease control and prevention were collected from blood, sputum,secretion and urine in 2nd Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University during December 2008 to August 2009. The isolates included 76 gram positive coccus and 350 gram negative bacilli. Species identification was performed with the Vitek system, and serotypes of Salmonella and Shigella were determined by serum agglutination test. 16s rDNA gene of 91 bacteria were amplified by PCR. The RCP products were sequenced. Then the results were compared with the reported sequences from GenBank. All strains were identified by MALDI-TOF MS. Results of three identification methods were compared with each other. Results Among 426 tested isolates, identification results from Vitek system and MALDI-TOF MS for gram positive coccus and 323 out of 350 gram negative bacilli (exception for Salmonella and Shigella spp.),were identical. For 23 Salmonella and Shigella spp. , only 2 Salmonella enterica subsp, enterica serovar Typhimurium were identified the same results by the three methods. Besides, results from Vitek system and serum agglutination test for 1 Salmonella enterica subsp, enterica serovar Typhi, 3 Salmonella enterica subsp.enterica serovar Paratyphi A, 1 Salmonella enterica subsp, enterica serovar Paratyphi B, 1 Salmonella enterica subsp, enterica serovar Enteritidis, and 1 Salmonella enterica subsp, enterica serovar Bovis-morbificans were consistent with that from 16S rDNA gene sequence. Four isolates which were confirmed as S. flexneri by Vitek system and serum agglutination test were identified as Escherichia coli by both 16S rDNA gene sequence and MALDI-TOF MS. ConclusionMALDI-TOF MS could be used for rapid and accurate identification of common clinical bacteria with good repeatabihty, excepting for the Salmonella and Shigella spp.
