Objective To investigate the effects of staphylococcal enterotoxin A SEA gene on target cells mediated by replicative-deficient recombinant adenovirus vector. Methods Lymphocytes of C57BL/6 mice were infected with various titers of recombinant adenoviruses. Supernatants were collected after 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h, 96 h, 120 h and 144 h of incubation and analyzed for proliferation of lymphocytes by MTT assay. IL-2 level in the culture supernatants was measured with ELISA. The killing effect of lymphocytes was also observed by MTT assay. Results Proliferation response and elevated levels of IL-2 were observed in experimental group. The killing effect on B16 cells was stronger in experimental group, which seemed to be dose-dependent with the increase of ratio of lymphocytes/target cells. Conclusions SEA gene can be expressed in lymphocytes of C57BL/6 mice mediated by replicative-deficient recombinant adenovirus vector. The expressing products can activate lymphocytes of C57BL/6 mice, which kill B16 cells in vitro.

Objective To evaluate the effects of problem-based learning (PBL) teaching mode and lecture-based learning (LBL) teaching mode applied in clinical teaching of dermatology in China.Methods All studies on PBL teaching mode and LBL teaching mode applied in clinical teaching of dermatology in China published from 1990 to 2015 were identified by searching in CNKI,VIP database,Wanfang data and so on.Meta-analysis was performed by RevMan 5.3 software.Results Six random controlled trials on 710 clinical students qualified for the meta-analysis according to our criteria.The students in PBL group got significant higher scores than those of the students in LBL group in theoretical scores [WMD=3.75,95％CI=2.58-4.92,P＜0.05],clinical skills tests [WMD=5.27,95％CI=4.60-5.94,P＜0.05] and total scores [WMD=7.93,95％CI=6.49-9.37,P＜0.05].Conclusion PBL teaching mode is an effective mode on teaching of dermatology in China,particularly for theoretical scores and clinical skills,compared with LBL mode.

Purpose To study clinicopathologic feature of prostate cancer by complete embedding of radical prostatectomy specimen. Methods 108 cases of radical prostatectomy by systematic whole organ embedding were reviewed. Results The patient age ranged from 55 to 80 years ( mean 68. 1 years) . The preoperative average PSA value was 18. 3μg/ml. 59 cases ( accounting for 54. 6% of all prostatectomy cases) were in pT2 stage, while 23. 7% (14/59) in pT2a stage, 8. 5% (5/59) in pT2b, and 67. 8% (40/59) in pT2c. 49 cases (45. 4%)in pT3 stage, while 59. 2% (29/49) in pT3a, 40. 8% (20/49) in pT3b. 3. 6%(3/84)cases presented pelvic lymph node metastasis. 8. 3% (9/108) cases were graded as Gleason Score 6 or less, 61. 1% Gleason Score 7, 30. 6%(33/108)Gleason Score 8 or more. Gleason Pattern 5 component was found in 26. 9% (29/108) cases. Positive margin was observed in 25. 9% (28/108) cases, with 75% (21/28) in pT3 stage and 53. 6% (15/28) having Gleason Pattern 5. Patient in pT2 stage pres-ented mean PSA value of 14. 00 μg/ml, involved in no more than 2 biopsy cores in 68. 5% cases, and more than 5 cores in 4. 3%, while in pT3 stage, presented mean PSA value of 23. 82μg/ml, involved in no more than 2 cores in 19. 6%, and more than 5 cores in 28. 3%. The difference of involved core number was significant in pT2 and pT3 tumors ( P<0. 01 ) . 81. 3% cases graded Gleason Score 6 in biopsy was assigned to Gleason Score 7 or more in prostatectomy. Conclusions Completely sampling radical prostatectomy specimen should be recommended for accurate staging and margin status. Preoperative PSA value, Gleason Score of biopsy, involved core number by cancer is a still helpful parameter for clinical staging and risk estimate.

Purpose To study the prevalence and feature of EGR gene rearrangement in prostatic carcinoma. Methods 242 consecu-tive core biopsies of prostatic carcinoma were evaluated. All biopsy specimens contained 6-14 cores from left and right sides separately delivered. The patient age ranged 58 to 91 years, and PSA value 5 ng/ml to more than 5 000 ng/ml. Immunohistochemistry ( IHC) for ERG protein overexpression and fluorescent in situ hybridization ( FISH) for ERG gene rearrangement were performed. Results 42 cases were detected positive for ERG by IHC ( positive rate 17. 4%) , and positive for ERG rearrangement by FISH either, with 19 ca-ses showing fusion through deletion and 23 through insertion, while no negative cases by IHC demonstrated positive by FISH. 5 cases revealed positive and negative staining in different carcinoma foci of ERG. No ERG positive staining and rearrangement were found in adjacent benign glands. Of positive cases, 12 cases were graded as Gleason score 6, 23 Gleason score 7, and 7 Gleason score 8 or more. Positive rate was 19. 6% in the group of PSA value less than 100 ng/ml, and 10% of more than 100 ng/ml, whereas 17. 2% in the group of clinical T3 stage or less, and 19% of clinical T4 and lymph node or remote metastasis. ERG rearrangement was associated with lower Gleason score, but not with PSA value, clinical stage and progression using theχ2 test analysis. Conclusions IHC is relia-ble for detection ERG rearrangement and helpful for interpretation of prostatic carcinoma. Multiple foci are common in prostatic carcino-ma. There is no significance between ERG rearrangement and disease prognosis.

Objective To study the characteristics of bone mineral density and bone metabolism in elderly men.Methods 220 male elderly hospitalized patients were selected and divided into three groups according to age:65-74 years group,75-84 years group and 85-94 years group.Bone mineral density and bone metabolic biochemical makers including serum parathyroid hormone (PTH),bone gla-protein (BGP) and 25-dihydroxy vitamin D (25-OH VD) were detected.Results The prevalence of osteoporosis was increased along with ageing in three groups (6.8％,12.0％ vs.22.9％,respectively,F=4.986,P＜0.05).The characteristics of bone metabolism showed that serum PTH level was increased and serum levels of BGP,25-OH VD were decreased along with ageing (F =4.986,3.245,5.997,all P＜0.05),and the levels of BGP,25-OH VD were generally decreased in elderly men.Conclusions The prevalence of osteoporosis is high in elderly men.Bone metabolism can be used as the auxiliary index for osteoporosis risk assessment,which is helpful for the early diagnosis of primary osteoporosis.

Objective To verify the feasibility of a rat model of acute hypertension, and to observe the imaging findings at 7.0T MR scanner of the model.Methods In experimental group, the rats were scanned at 7.0T Bruker MR scanner when phenylephrine was injected continuously to evoke an acute hypertension state.The real time blood pressure was monitored through a femoral arterial catheter connected to a pressure transducer.The control group was infused with saline.T2WI, DWI and T1 mapping were performed in the two rat groups.ADC maps and T1 maps were acquired after image post-processing, and a voxel wise analysis and a ROI analysis were applied.The brain morphology change was evaluated by HE staining.The blood-brain barrier permeability was evaluated by Evans blue staining.Results The T2 images and DWI images of the experiment group showed no abnormal signal intensity changes observed by naked eyes.But ROI analysis of the ADC maps showed that the brain ADC values of the experiment group was higher than the control group (t=3.291,P<0.01, the cortex;t=2.186,P<0.05, the subcortex).Voxel wise analysis of the ADC maps showed vasogenic edema mainly distributed in the parietal and occipital regions,subcortical nuclei (caudate nucleus),thalamus,brainstem and cerebellum,which mainly located in the posterior portions of cerebral hemispheres.T1 image analysis did not show any significant difference between two groups (P>0.05).The blue dye region was only performed in the experimental group,the results of HE staining corresponded with vasogenic brain edema.Conclusion Continuous infusing of phenylephrine hydrochloride can induce a rat model of acute hypertension.Vasogenic edema and blood-brain barrier permeability change can be observed in the rat model, and the imaging distribution of vasogenic edema can be detected by MRI.

BACKGROUND:After spinal cord injury, endogenous neural stem cel s are activated to proliferate and migrate to repair damaged tissue. As a clinical medicine, methylprednisolone shows a lot of functions, but its effects on endogenous neural stem cel s are stil unknown.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects of methylprednisolone on the proliferation and migration of endogenous neural stem cel s after spinal cord injury.
METHODS:Seventy-five Sprague-Dawley rats were used to make animal models of T10 complete paraplegia using Al en’s method, and randomized into methylprednisolone, normal saline and model groups. Rats in these three groups were given intraperitoneal injection of 1 g/L methylprednisolone solution at a dose of 30 mg/kg for 10 minutes and at a dose of 5.4 mg/kg/h for 23 hours, given intraperitoneal injection of normal saline at the same dose and given no treatment, respectively. Neurological and motor functions were assessed by somatosensory evoked potential and Basso Beattie Bresnahan scores at 7, 14, 21, 28 days after spinal cord injury. BrdU and Nestin staining of the injured spinal cord segment was conducted.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:A large amount of BrdU-and Nestin-positive cel s were visible in al the groups, and the number of these cel s reached the peach at 14 days after spinal cord injury. Methylprednisolone was found to inhibit BrdU-, Nestin-or double-positive cel s, indicating methylprednisolone can inhibit the proliferation and migration of endogenous neural stem cel s. The results of Basso Beattie Bresnahan scores showed no notable improvement in the motor function of the limbs. Methylprednisolone also showed no significant effects on the motor evoked potential latency, but promoted nerve conduction recovery. Al these findings indicate that methylprednisolone has some hindering effects on spinal cord repair by inhibiting the proliferation and migration of endogenous neural stem cel s after spinal cord injury.
