A mild rapid method for the determination of Pb in grain was established by diluted acid extraction and direct sampling detection with graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrophotometer(GF-AAS). Some factors, such as the grain size, nitric acid concentration, extraction time, solid, liquid proportion, and the instrument conditions were optimized. The results indicated that, at room temperature, the extraction rate of Pb in grain by diluted nitric acid was between 92. 14% and 94. 75%, and the average recoveries of Pb in grain extract reached 91. 65%-94. 58%, the precision of method was less than 5%, and the method detection limits and quantification limits were 0. 64 μg/L and 2. 14 μg/L, respectively, meanwhile, the extraction time was shorten to no more than 30 min. Compared with the results pretreated by microwave digestion and determined by GF-AAS, the detection values obtained by diluted acid extraction had no significance difference (p<0. 1).

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy and interrelated factors of autologous peripheral blood stem cells (PBSC) transplantation in the treatment of arteriosclerosis obliterans (ASO) of the lower extremity. Methodes A total of 26 patients with ASO of the lower limb received rhG-CSF 450-600?g/d by hypodermic injection for 5 days to mobilize stem cells. On the sixth day, PBSC were collected by COBE 6.1 Spectra Version with a total amount of 82-118ml, with the number of mononuclear cells (MNC) (718.2-224.6)?10 9 /L. The MNC were injected intramuscularly into the ischemic limbs with intervals of 3cm apart. The clinical and laboratory findings were monitored. Results In 23 out of 26, pain was relieved after 3-21 days (88.5%), in 24 patients coldness was ameliorated after 2-28 days (92.3%), in 4 patients foot ulcers were better after 4-12 weeks. ABI increased in 6 cases. The total effective rate was 92.3%. No complication or adverse effect was observed in all the patients. Conclusion Autologous PBSC transplantation might be a safe and effective method for ASO of the lower limb ASO.

Objective:Our purpose was to investigate the function of angiotensis converting enzyme(ACE) in the occurrence and development of pregnancy-induced hypertension(PIH). Methods:The study group included 30 pregnant women diagnosed with PIH( 10 mild, 10 moderate, 10 severe). Thirty healthy pregnant women were selected as the control group. The serum was assayed for the activity of ACE by using color comparison method, hippuric acid used as the substrate. Results:The activity of ACE of the study group was significantly higher than that of the control group. Significantly positive correlationships existed between mean blood pressure, degree of adema, level of urine protein,and uric acid. Conclusion:The elevation of serum activity of ACE is related to the occurrence and development of PIH.

BACKGROUND:Alogeneic bone marrow stromal stem cel transplantation for treatment of bone diseases is a hot topic. To seek effective methods for prevention of post-transplantation immune rejection is urgent to be solved.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the expression of MHC antigen on the surface of bone marrow stromal stem cels after osteogenic inductionin vitro.
METHODS:Bone marrow samples were extracted from rabbits to in vitro isolate and culture bone marrow stromal stem cels. Then, the cels were cultured in IMDM medium containing bone morphogenetic protein-2. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the expression of MHC antigen on the osteoblasts differentiated from bone marrow stromal stem cels.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was highly expressed MHC I antigen but no MHCII antigen on the osteoblasts differentiated from bone marrow stromal stem cels. After osteogenic induction, no immune rejection was found. These findings indicate that alogeneic or xenogeneic bone marrow stromal cel transplantation can be used in the treatment of bone defects.

In order to study the character of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) attaching on commercially pure titanium (cpTi) by morphology and metrology on the early stage (24 h), 1 x 10(5)/ml PDLCs in 2 ml culture medium were seeded on cpTi discs fixed in 24-well culture plates. Morphology of cell attachment was observed by contrast phase microscope, scanning electron microscope (SEM) and fluroscence microscopy. Cell adhesion was analyzed by MTT at 0.5, 1, 2, 4 h respectively. PDLCs could attach and spread on cpTi discs. SEM showed that PDLCs had pseudopod-like protuberance. PDLCs showed different attaching phases and reached saturation in cell number at 2 h. It was concluded that PDLCs had good biocompatibility with cpTi, and showed a regular and dynamic pattern in the process of attaching to cpTi.

OBJECTIVETo examine the role of lactoferrin (LF) on Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) stimulated by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in human periodontal ligament cells (hPDLCs).

METHODSPrimary hPDLCs were cultured by tissue block enzymolytic method. Cells obtained from four passages were identified and used in this experiment. Cells without stimulation served as the controls and cells treated with LPS (0.1 microg x mL(-1)) comprised the LPS group. The LPS + LF group was pretreated with LPS (0.1 microg x mL(-1)) for 2 h, and then treated with LF (10 microg x mL(-1)). Four hours after LF stimulation, the mRNA expression levels of TLR4 were examined by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The protein expression of TLR4 was observed by cell immunofluorescence staining after LF stimulation of 24 hours.

RESULTSTLR4 mRNA expression in the LPS + LF group was significantly more decreased than that in the LPS group (P < 0.05), but exhibited no difference with that in the control group (P > 0.05). Cell immunofluorescence staining showed that the protein expression of TLR4 in the LPS + LF group was significantly more decreased than that in the LPS group (P < 0.05), but exhibited no difference with that in the control group (P > 0.05).

CONCLUSIONLF can decrease the expression of TLR4 stimulated by LPS in hPDLCs, thus presenting potential application for controlling the TLR4 immune pathway of periodontitis.
