Objective To investigate the expression pattern of Nrf2 in the lung of septic rat and preliminary analysis of the role of Nrf2 in the development of sepsis. Methods Wistar rats were used in this study, it was divided into 4 groups, including normal control group, pure burn group, burn with staphylococcus sepsis group, burn with pseudomonas sepsis group. According to the different time intervals such as 2 hours, 8 hours, and 24 hours, it was divided into three sub-group after injection of bacteria. The expression of Nrf2 in the lung at different time intervals was determined. Results Nrf2 mRNA in the lungs of normal rats was high expression （74.0±7.0）, Nrf2 mRNA in the lungs of pure burns rats obviously down-regulated, respectively as 34.5±1.9,50.4±2.2,32.1±1.4, （t＝5.69～14.63,P＜0.01）. Nrf2 mRNA in burn sepsis caused by Staphylococcus aureus in lung tissue of rats down-regulated expression, respectively as 53.1±5.0,14.4±1.6,48.5±1.9,and reached peak at 8 h（t＝5.59～29.3,P＜0.01）. Pseudomonas aeruginosa burn sepsis didn't induced Nrf2 mRNA in the lung tissue, but it showed a downward trend at 2h（71.0±8.1,P＞0.05）and markedly reduced after 8, 24 h（24.8±2.1,4.1±2.0,t＝21.33,68.1,P＜0.01）.Conclusions The distribution of Nrf2 mainly localized in immune organ, and it directly took part in the post burn immune response.

Objective:To construct pIRES-I-Ad?? bicistronic eukaryotic expression vector. Methods: Total RNA was acquired by TRIZOL method, the genes of I-Ad ?? chains were amplified through RT-PCR, respectively. The target genes were connected to pGEM-T vector and sequenced. Then the target genes were subcloned into pIRES bicistronic eukaiyotic expression vector and NIH3T3 cell line was transfected. Transfectant was screened by G418 antibiotics. Total RNA of transfectant was obtained by TRIZOL method, mRNA of foreign gene was examined by RT-PCR. Flow cytometry( FCM) was used to detennine foreign gene expression in protein level and surface expression in NIH3T3 cell line. Results: Bicistronic eukaryotic expression vector pIRES-I-AdaB was established. Foreign gene in mRNA level in transfectants was examined. Verified Ⅰ-Ad ?? chain wa3 expressed in high level expressed on transfected NIH3T3 cell line surface by FCM. Conclusion:Bicistronic eukaryotic expression vector pIRES-I-Ad ?? was constructed successfully. It is useful for studying antigen presentation and interaction between epitopes and MHC- Ⅱ molecule of BALB/c mouse.

Objective To evaluate reformative encircling constriction combined with the retrograde venograms in operation for treating primary deep venous insufficiency. Methods The clinical data of 25 cases (29lower extremities) undergoing primary deep venous insufficiency from March 1998 to December 2006 were analyzed retrospectively. 25 eases(29 lower extremities) were treated with reformative encircling constriction combined with the retrograde venograms in operations. Results 25 eases were treated with reformative encircling constriction combined with the retrograde venograms in operations,the leg swelling improved and no deep vein thrombus occurred; all the varicose veins are welt controlled. Conclusion Reformative encircling constriction operations are eutherapeutic for severe femoral venous valve dysfunction, when combined with the retrograde venogram, it can be a guidance in encircling constriction of superficial femoral vein and number of femoral venous valves.

0.05).The degreeⅢ～Ⅳthrombocytopenia was more common in group A than in group B,but the degreeⅢ～Ⅳhypolekocytosis and phlebitis was more serious in group B.Conclusion NC and GC for treating refractory metastatic breast cancer have a high response rate and tolerable side effects.

Objective To investigate the daily total fluoride intake in relating to the prevalence of skeletal fluorosis in two villages in Jiangsu Province,in order to provide the scientific evidences for the control and prevention of endemic fluorosis.Methods Adults sampled from a high-fluoride Village,Wamiao,and a low-fluoride Village,Xinhuai,were surveyed in this study according to the fluoride concentration in their household shallow well.The average daily total fluoride intake from difierent sources and the skeletal fluorosis were investigated in each subject.Then the subjects from two villages were allocated into five subgroups(＜2.00,2.00～,3.00～,4.00～,≥5.00 mg/d),the relation fluoride intake and prevalence of osteofluorosis was analyzed.Results The prevalence of skeletal fluorosis in Wamiao Village was 31.06%(41/132),but no skeletal fluorosis case(0/35)was found in Xinhuai Village.According to the daily total fluoride intake,subjects with higher daily total fluoride intake tended to associated with a higher prevalence of skeletal fluorosis in a significant dose-response relationship(regression equation:y=2.624-6.855x+3.424x2:r=0.997).The benchmark dose lower limitation of daily total fluoride intake with 95% confidencewas 2.50 mg/d calculated according to this dose-response relationship,the reference dose(RfD)was 2.50 mg/d.In Wamiao Village a significant difference was also found between daily total fluoride intake in 41 subjects[(5.09±1.20)mg/d]with X-ray detectable skeletal fluorosis and in 91 subjects[(3.08±1.12)mg/d]without X-ray detectable skeletal fluorosis(t=-9.32,P＜0.01).Conclusions These findings indicate that the daily total fluoride intake has a significant dose-response relationship with the prevalence of skeletal fluorosis in an endemic fluorosis area associated with high-fluoride drinking water;and the RfD in this study was lower than that in the national standard of"Chinese hygienic standard for daily total fluoride intake(WS/T 87-1996)"(3.50 mg/d).

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the clinical effects of iliolumbar fixation for the sacrum fractures of Denis type II.

METHODSThe clinical data of 86 patients with sacrum fracture of Denis type II treated by iliolumbar fixation from January 2008 to January 2012 were retrospectively analyzed. There were 55 males and 31 females, aged from 17 to 55 years old with an average of 39.1 years. Among them, 73 cases complicated with pelvis fracture and 13 cases with acetabular fracture; 37 cases with sacral neurological symptoms and 49 cases without sacral neurological symptoms. Fracture healing time, nerve function, clinical function and complications were observed in the patients.

RESULTSIn 86 cases, 6 cases were out of followed-up and 80 cases were followed up from 24 to 71 months with an average of 36 months. The mean fracture healing time was 13 weeks (ranged, 10 to 38 weeks). According to Gibbons scoring to evaluate the neurological function, preoperative nerve rehabilitation, lower limbs feeling, lower limbs activity,bladder and rectum function,total score respectively were 0.62 +/- 0.04, 1.54 +/- 0.35, 1.12 +/- 0.18, 0.23 +/- 0.01, 3.46 +/- 0.47 and postoperative respectively were 0.82 +/- 0.12, 0.36 +/- 0.04, 0.05 +/- 0.01, 0.03 +/- 0.01, 1.25 +/- 0.22, there were statistically significant differences between preoperative and postoperative (P < 0.05). According to Majeed scoring to evaluate the clinical function, postoperative pain, standing, sitting, sexual life, work ability, total score respectively were 22.54 +/- 4.02, 27.93 +/- 5.46, 8.47 +/- 3.61, 2.54 +/- 1.33, 16.46 +/- 4.34, 81.32 +/- 8.73, 60 cases got excellent results, 17 good, 3 fair. The main complications including fracture nonunion of 5 cases,deep incision infection of 1 case, and screw prominence resulting uncomfortable of 8 cases.

CONCLUSIONIliolumbar fixation has the advantages of stable fixation, satisfactory functional rehabilitation, less complications, and is a good method in treating sacrum fracture of Denis type II.

Aim To establish experimental colitis model in Balb/c mice by Trinitrobenzene Sulfonic Acid (TNBS) enema. Methods Several doses of TNBS instilled into mice colon induced experimental colitis, then mortality rates of mice were observed. Severity of colitis was evaluated by the Disease Activity Index (DAI),Morphologic and Histologic analysis and Myeloperoxidase (MPO) analysis. We also observed the T cell proliferation of spleen. Results It showed that the mice mortality rate was increased when the mice were given the higher dose of TNBS. Most survived mice showed chronic inflammation in reduction colon. Histological examinations of the colon showed multiple erosive lesions and inflammatory cell infiltration composed of macrophages, lymphocytes, neutrophils in lamina propria and beyond mucosal layer. Some colon showed crypt distortion or reduction and high vascular density. Conclusion A TNBS dose of 1.5mg for each mouse was chosen for an appropriate experimental dose since the group showed less mortality rate and appropriate experimental colitis.
