Acta Anatomica Sinica 1957;0(04):-
Objective To study the effect of 17?-estradial(E-2) on apoptosis of cardiomyocytes induced by norepinephrine(NE) in vitro and its mechanism. Methods The cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes were treated with NE(50??mol/L),E-2(10?nmol/L) or NE(50??mol/L)+E-2(10?nmol/L) respectively in serum-free DMEM for 48?h.The morphological changes of myocytes were studied by phase-microscopy and transmission electron microscopy;apoptosis was identified by DNA laddering and apoptotic rate was assayed by flow cytometer;cfos protein in cardiomyocytes was detected using semiquantitative immunofluorescence cytochemistry technique. Results 17?-estradiol inhibited the morphological changes of apoptotic cardiomyocytes induced by norepinephine such as cell atrophy,condensed chromatin clumps against the nuclear envelope associated with swelling of mitochondria and presentation of apoptotic body,DNA laddering disappeared,the apoptotic rate decreased and the expression of c-fos protein inhibited in cardiomyocytes.Conclusion 17?-estradiol can protect cultured cardiomyocytes from apoptosis induced by norepinephrine,its mechanism might associate with suppression of c-fos protein expression.

Objective To study the main influence factors of nosocomial infection(NI) and establish a model to predict and forecast the risk of NI on patients in hospitals. Methods Clinical data of 27352 inpatients extracted from hospital information system were sorted out and coded, and a logistic regression model about the probability of NI was established. The risk of NI was divided into four scales. Results With multiple factor analysis,16 risk factors of NI were identified, which were age, high body temperature, numbers of diagnosis, days of staying in hospital and seriousness, numbers of routine test for urine, times of blood transfusion, use or without use of antibiotic and radiotherapy, turning over the bodies or not, relationships between infection and interventional operations, with or without diabetes, categories of diseases based on ICD-9, numbers of interventional operations, type of anesthesia and department of admission. If NI was judged when predicted probability(Pr)of logistic regression model exceeded 0 35, the specificity and false diagnostic rate of diagnostic test were 0 995 and 0 005 respectively, and the area under ROC curve was 0 986. According to decision tree method, the risk of NI was classified into four degrees: low (Pr

Objective:To investigate the influence of different salt concentration on the renal fibrosis and macrophages infiltration in salt sensitive hypertension.Methods:Dahl salt sensitive rats were randomly divided into the normal salt (0.3 % nacl) group,4 % high salt,8 % high salt groups at six weeks continuously feeding for 8 weeks,each group contained 15 rats.Tail-cuffmethod was used to value rat blood pressure at 8 weeks,Masson trichromatic method was used to detect renal fibrosis of the three groups at 8 week.Immunohistochemistry and Western blot method were used to depict the renal macrophage infiltration at 8 week.Results:1) The blood pressure of 4 % salt and 8% high salt group rats were significantly higher than those of the normal salt group at 8week,meanwhile the blood pressure of 8 % high salt was further increased than that of 4 % high salt group at 8 week.2) The relative kidney weight and renal fibrosis of 4 % salt and 8 % high salt group rats were obviously higher than that of normal salt group at 8week,meanwhile the relative kidney weight and renal fibrosis of 8 % high salt were further increased than those of 4 % high salt group at 8 week.3) The macrophage infiltration of 4 % salt and 8% high salt group rats were higher than that of the normal salt group at 8week,meanwhile the macrophage infiltration of 8 % high salt was further increased than that of 4 % high salt group at 8 week.Conclusion:Different high salt concentrations had different effect on the renal fibrosis and macrophage infiltration in the salt sensitive hypertension,high salt concentration could exacerbate the renal fibrosis and macrophage infiltration.

Objective To explore the value of combined measurement of urine N-acetyl-beta-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) activity and serum Cystatin C in diagnosing diabetic nephropathy (DN) in early phase. Methods Sixty-two cases with type 2 diabetes (diabetic group) were divided into three groups according to their 24 hours urinary albumin excretion (24hUAE) : group A (normal albuminuria, 20 cases), group B (microalbuminuria, 22 cases) and group C (macroalbuminuria, 20 cases). Furthermore, 30 healthy people were involved in control group. 24hUAE,NAG,serum creatinine (SCr) and serum Cystatin C were measured, and endogenous creatinine clearance rate (Ccr) was calculated by Cockcroft-Gault formula. All these indexes among three groups were compared. Results The levels of urinary NAG activity and serum Cystafin C in diabetic group was significantly higher and Ccr was significantly lower than those in control group(P < 0.01). The levels of urinary NAG activity and serum cystatin C gradually increased in group A, B and C(P< 0.05 or < 0.01). While no significant difference was observed between group A and group B in the level of SCr (P > 0.05). There were significant positive correlations among the levels of urinary NAG activity, serum Cystatin C,24hUAE and SCr (P< 0.01),and all above showed negative correlations with Ccr (P<0.01). Co-detection of urinary NAG activity and serum Cystatin C had significantly higher positive rate [80.6%(50/62)] than single one [58.1%(36/62),61.3%(38/62)](P<0.05). Conclusion Co-detection of urinary NAG activity and serum Cystatin C may indicate early renal damage in DN, and it is valuable in diagnosing DN in early phase.

Objective:To explore the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell transplantation on silicosis fibrosis in different time windows in rats.Methods:BMSCs were isolated and cultured from male 3-week-old SD rats in vitro.Fifty healthy female SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:control group,silicosis model group,early treatment group,middle treatment group,late treatment group(n=10).The silicosis model was made by one-time infusion of silica dust suspension using the non-exposed tracheal in-tubation(50 μg/ml),and 1 d,14 d,28 d of BMSCs were given for intervention therapy (1 ×106 ml-1 ).Rats in each group were sacrificed 14 days after treatment.The BMSCs identified by flow cytometry;the morphological changes of the lung tissues were observed by HE staining;the expression of MMP-9,collagen type Ⅰ and collagen type Ⅲ were detected by immunocytochemistry and Western blot analysis.Results: BMSCs in early silicosis ( 1 d ) and the middle silicosis ( 14 d ) compared to silicosis model group can significantly alleviate the pathological process of silicosis fibrosis (P<0.05),BMSCs in late silicosis (28 d) treatment had no significant effect(P>0.05).Conclusion:Exogenous BMSCs transplantation on rat silicosis early pathological processes play a role in delaying , late treatment effect is not obvious.

The present study aimed to study the effects of applying mixed probiotics in the feed on growth performance,antioxidant activity and immune function in yellow-feathered broilers.Three hundred sixty yellow-feathered broilers at 10-day-old were divided into 4 groups.Group A was fed with basal diets,group B with basal diets added 50 g/t mixed probiotics,group C with basal diets added 100 g/t mixed probiotics and group D with basal diets added 300 g/t mixed probiotics.Each group included 9 replicates(10 birds per replicates),and the experiment lasted 50 days.Results showed that group D got the highest average daily gain(ADG) of all groups,and compared with the control group A,ADG was increased by 4.11% (P<0.05).Group B got the lowest feed-gain ratio of all groups,and the feed-gain ratio was decreased by 4.58%(P<0.05) compared with the control group A.Group D got significantly increased duodenal villous length,serum antioxidant index and antibody titer(P<0.05) compared with the control group A.The effects of mixed probiotics on the growth performance,antioxidant activity and immune function were distinct in yellow-feathered broilers,and 100 g/t mixed probiotics was recommended.
