This paper reports the effects of the temperature control freezing and the liquid nitrogen vapour freezing on the viability of rabbit morulae. After rapid thawing, 70.27% embryos were able to develope well in vitro in the temperature control freezing group and in the liquid nitrogen vapour freezing group, the developmental rate was 80.56% when the freezing medium contained higher concentration of glycerol. After synchronous embryos were transplanted, the birth rate was 13.64% and 13.33%, respectively, in both freezing groups, and 11.11% in the control group. The results indicate that both freezing methods have almost the same good results, but the method of liquid nitrogen vapour freezing is more useful than the temperature control freezing method in some aspects.

Objective To investigate the relationship between polymorphism of the estrogen receptor(ER) gene and bone mineral density(BMD), and bone metabolism in Chinese postmenopausal healthy women. Methods In 246 postmenopausal healthy women, aged 44-78 years (average 61 years), BMD of lumbar spine and femoral neck, Ward and trochanteric areas were measured by dual energy X ray absorptiometry. Biochemical indexes(serum Ca, P, ALP, PTH, CT)were measured and PvuⅡ and XbaⅠ restriction fragment length polymorphism(RFLP) of ER were analysed by polymerase chain reaction restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCR RFLP). The relationship between polymorphism of the ER gene and BMD, and bone metabolism were evaluated. The RFLP was represented as Pp(PvuⅡ) and Xx(XbaI). Results In the PPxx genotype, Z score values of BMD were significantly lower than those in other genotypes. Conclusion RFLP of ER gene associated with BMD in postmenopausal healthy women and this might explain the cause of postmenopausal osteoporosis in Chinese women.

Objective:To observe neurotransmitter changes of post cerebral infarction depression (PCID) before and after being treated with amitriptyline or acupuncture of Baihui,in order to explore a good way with a less toxicity and good effect of treatment on PCID.Methods:The 60 patients were divided into treatment group and control group.Besides the basic treatment,the treatment group was given acupuncture of Baihui (DV20) and point injection therapy,the control group was given amitriptyline. Both before and after treatment,compared the two groups with HAMD score,neurologic impairment score,plasma 5-HT and NE,and observed the adverse events and side effects.Results:The results of two groups in monoamine neurotransmitter 5-HT(5-HT),norepinephrine (NE) and the HAMD scale were significantly improved.Conclusion:Acupunture of Baihui and point injection of Herba Erigerontis had equal effect to the amitriptyline on PCID.Furthermore,it had fewer venenosus side effects.It provided a new way for the use of the traditional Chinese medicine in treating PICD.

A total of 206 patients of type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) were assigned into the trial group (n =156) and the control group (n =50) according to whether real object-based diabetic diet was provided.Traditional nutritional education for both groups during hospitalization.The patients in the trial group received a real object-based diabetic diet guided by a nutritionist who adjusted feeding regimens and skills before and after operation.The control group had a free access to a normal diet.The patient understanding of knowledge,attitude and practice (KAP) was examined by nutrition surveys.And their postoperative nutrition states and complications were assessed by questionnaires during a 6-month follow-up.The total average score of cognitive divided was 93.4 ± 7.5,the average score of diet therapy knowledge 13.8 ± 1.6 and the average scores of attitude and practice 9.6 ± 1.9 and 32.2 ±3.9.Significant differences existed between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence rates of hypoglycemia,hyperglycemia and gastrointestinal obstruction were lower than the control group (P ＜ 0.05,P ＜ 0.01).It suggested that real object-based diabetic diet guidance plus traditional nutrition education could improve the KAP level and may lower the incidence of postoperative complications in T2DM patients with gastric bypass.

Objective To detect the expression of 84 signaling molecules associated with nuclear factor-κB in lesions of Uygur patients with psoriasis.Methods Skin specimens were obtained from the lesional and paralesional skin of eight Uygur patients with psoriasis.Total RNA was extracted from the skin specimens and reversely transcribed into cDNA.PCR-array analysis was carried out to quantify the expressions of 84 signaling molecules related to nuclear factor-κB.Genes with a fold-change ＞ or =2 were defined as differentially expressed.Results Among the 84 tested genes,22 showed upregulated expression,7 downregulated expression,and the remaining 54 genes showed no significant changes in psoriatic lesions compared with the normal skin.The strongest upregulation was observed in the gene expressions of Caspase recruitment domain family 11 (CARD11) and granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor 2 (CSF2),and the most significant downregulation in the gene expression of interleukin 10 (IL-10),tumor necrosis factor superfamily member 5 (CD40) and nuclear factor of kappa light polypeptide gene enhancer in B-cell inhibitor,epsilon (NFκBIE).Conclusion Multiple molecules involved in the NF-κB signaling pathway might be activated or inhibited in lesions of patients with psoriasis.

Objective To explore the expression of antiapoptotic gene Aven in childhood acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) and its relationship with clinical features of ALL. Methods Reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of Aven mRNA in 55 cases of childhood ALL The control group included 11 childhood patients with no malignant hematological diseases. Results Aven mRNA expression was found to be higher in patients ≥10 years old and was also significantly higher in relapsed patients. Univariate and multivariate analysis indicated that Aven overexpression was an independent poor prognostic factor. Conclusion Aven mRNA expression is abnormal in childhood ALL and is an independent poor prognostic factor.

Objective To investigate β-lactamase gene and class 1 integron gene from 60 clinical Acinetobacter baumannii isolates.Methods The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MICs) for 16 antibiotics widely used were determined using the standard broth microdilution method.The β-lactamase gene,class 1 integron gene and adeB gene were determined by PCR and then sequenced.Results Fifty-three strains of the 60 A.baumanii isolates were multi-drug resistant.OXA-23 gene was detected positive in six A.baumanii isolates,which were all resistant to more than five antimicrobial agents including carbapenem and showed high resistance to many antibiotics.Thirtyeight strains earring PER-1 gene showed higher resistance to cephalosporins than those without this gene (P＜0.01).Class 1 integron gene was positive in 45 strains,which exhibited significantly higher multiple resistance than those without this gene (P＜0.01).Twenty-five strains carrying both class 1 integron and PER-1 genes had a markedly higher multiple resistance (P＜0.01),but not in resistant level,compared to the 7 strains without these two genes.Conclusion Class 1 integron and β-lactamase gene may be the causes of muhidrug-resistance of A.baumanii.The strains carrying OXA-23 gene always showed multiple and high resistance to several antibiotics,so effective measures must be taken to control the epidemic of these strains.
