Objective To observe changes of plasma thrombinogen segment 1+2(FI+2)and D-dimer(D-D)in multiple trauma patients and exphlore their relations with traumatic disseminated intra-vascular coagulation(DIC). Methods A total of 66 multiple trauma patients were divided into minor injury group(ISS＜16 points,21 patients)and severe multiple trauma group(ISS≥16 points,45 pa-tients).Then.severe multiple trauma group were divided into DIC group(12 patients)and non-DIC group(33 patients).Another 10 healthy pemons were served as control group.Venous blood was collect-ed once in the control group and that collected from other groups at days 1,3 and 7 after injury.The F1 +2 concentrarion was detetrained with ELISA.and the D-D concentration was measured by automated la-tex enhanced immunoassay. Results The F1+2 and D-D levels in the minor injury group and sever multiple trauma group were both higher than that of the control group.In the meantime.the F1+2 and D-D levels in severe injury group were remarkably higher than that in the minor injury group.The plasma F1 +2 and D-D levels were elevated continuously in traumatic DIC group and remarkably higher than that in the non.DIC group.in which the plasma F1+2 and D-D levels gradually declined.Plasma F1+2 and D-D levels had significantly positive correlations at days 1,3 and 7 after injury. Conclusions Hiigher levels of F1+2 and D.D at acute stage is not only relevant to the injury severity,but also closely to the occurrence of traumatic DIC after injury.Detection of plasma F1+2 and D-D levels may play an impor-taut role in early prediction of DIC.

Objective To investigate the effect of fibroblast growth factor receptor 3(FGFR3) in development phase of murine small intestine.Methods Wild type mice and their littermate FGFR3+ mice were used to observe their morphology and proliferation characteristics of epithelia of small intestinine in development phase and changes of FGFR3 expression.Results Mutant mice had lower density and their villa were lower than those of the controls.But to the depth of crypt,the results were conversely.Cells in proliferation mainly located in intestine crypt.Mutant mice had more proliferation than the controls at every time point.Expression of FGFR3 was detected at birth(day 1),and the expression was maximal from day7 to day 21,decreasing rapidly thereafter to reach the relatively low at day35.And the expression of FGFR3 also located in intestine crypt,overlapping with that of Brdu.Conclusion FGFR3 improves formation of murine intestine crypt in development phase.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the efficacy and safety of amitriptyline combined with carbamazepine in the treatment of postherpetic neuralgia(PHN). METHODS:80 patients with PHN were randomly divided into observation group and control group. Control group was orally given Carbamazepine tablets 100 mg,bid,then increased to 100 mg,tid after 3 d. Observation group was additionally given Amitriptyline tablets 12.5 mg every night before bed,d1~3;then increased to 25 mg after 3 d every night be-fore bed,d4~5;and 12.5 mg every morning from 6th d+25 mg every night before bed,and the dose could be adjusted based on the pain and adverse reactions of 2 groups. The treatment course for 2 groups was 4 weeks. Visual analogue scale score(VAS),sleep-ing time,pain disappearing time and clinical efficacy in 2 groups were compared,and the incidence of adverse reactions were re-corded. RESULTS:The total effective rate in observation group was higher than control group,VAS was lower than control group, sleeping time was longer than control group and pain disappearing time was shorter than control group,the differences were statisti-cally significant(P<0.05). There was significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions between 2 groups(P>0.05). CON-CLUSIONS:Amitriptyline combined with carbamazepine has obvious efficacy in the treatment of PHN,with good safety.

Objective To investigate the effects of cold preservation and reperfusion injury on the regen-eration of donor liver and to study the mechanisms. Methods Male SD rats were divided in to sham group (6 rats), UW 1 h group (48 rats) and UW 12 h group (48 rats). Liver tissue specimens were collected at different time points after orthotopic liver transplantation or sham operation. The morphology of liver tissue was observed via light microscope and transmission electron microscope. Proliferation of hepatocytes and sinusoidal endothelial cells (SECs) were assessed by a double immunostaining technique using antibodies against rat endothelial cell antigen-1 and bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU). Expression of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and its receptors, fins-like tyrosine kinase-1 (flt-1) and fetal liver kinase-1 (flk-1) was evaluated by immunohistochemistry. The mRNA expression of flt-1 was detected by a RT-PCR method. Mean comparison in groups was conducted by one-way ANOVA or t test. Results BrdU labeling indexes of hepatocytes and SECs in UW 12 h group was significantly higher than those in UW 1 h group (F = 61.45,41.4, P < 0.05). The proliferation of hepatocytes peaked at 48 h after operation in both UW 1 h group and UW 12 h group. However, the proliferation of SECs was fallen behind compared to hepatocytes, with a peak appeared at 72 h in UW 1 h group and at 96 h in UW 12 h group, respec-tively. The expression of VEGF was up-regulated in both UW 1 h group and UW 12 h group compared to sham group. Furthermore, expression of flt-1 and flk-1 was found to be mainly limited in SECs, with a peak in expres-sion occurring between 72 h and 96 h, coinciding with the peak in SECs proliferation in UW 1 h group. Conversely, flt-1 was found to be reduced significantly on mRNA level at any time throughout the experiment in UW 12 h group compared to sham group (F = 141.67, P < 0.05). Conclusion Reduced expression of flt-1 results in a retarded regeneration of SECs, and then the recovery of rat donor liver function is delayed after cold-preserved transplantation.

Objective To determine the impact of exogenous vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) on rat liver function after partial liver transplantation. Methods Male SD rats which had undergone 30% partial liver transplantation were divided into VEGF treatment group (n=60) and control group (n=60). Animals in each group were injected with solution of VEGF or saline, respectively. Serum ALT, AST, and hyaluronic acid (HA) levels were assessed at 0, 12, 24, 72, 168 hours after operation. Results Serum ALT, AST and HA levels were significantly decreased at 72 hours after transplantation in VEGF treatment group compared with controls (t =4.681, 4.252, 2.853, P<0.05). In accordance with liver function, treatment with VEGF minimized the damage to the liver sinusoidal endothelial cells and decreased the infiltration of inflamatory cells. Conclusion Administration of VEGF may improve the liver function of rats after partial liver transplantation by maintaining the integrality of the sinusoidal structure and reducing the inflamation reaction.

Aim To investigate the effect of α1-anti-trypsin Z variant (ATZ)overexpression on cell autoph-agy.Methods HEK 293T cells were transfected with pcDNA3.1 zeo+/ATM or pcDNA3.1 zeo+/ATZ,e-qual amount of empty vector was used as control.Cells were treated with NH4Cl for 4 hours and processed for detecting ATZ,LC3 and p62 by immunoblot.Mean-while ,expression and intracellular localization of ATZ, LC3 in 293 T cells were observed with double labeled immunofluorescence.The mRNA levels of autophagy-related genes were measured by real-time PCR.Immu-nohistochemistry was used to observe the morphology of ATZ-positive cells.Results Compared with the control,higher LC3Ⅱ levels and LC3 puncta were observed in ATZ transfected cells.Meanwhile,the levelsof p62 were decreased in ATZ transfected cells,andreversed by NH4 Cl (25 mmol·L -1 )treatment.Overexpression of ATZ increased the mRNA levels of Atg5and Atg12,but had no obvious influence on Beclin1.ATZoverexpressing cells presented abnormal morphologies.The nuclei became reduced,condensed,and even disappeared in ATZpositive cells.Conclusion ATZ overexpression increases autophagy activity whichmay be related to increasing Atg5 and Atg12 levels.

Objective To investigate the immunoregulatory effects of bone marrow-derived mesenehy-real stem ceils (BMSCs) combined with leflunomide (LEF) on mice T-lymphocytes in vitro. Methods BMSCs from BALB/c mice were isolated and expanded. The purity of BMSCs was identified by flow cytometry (FCM). The BALB/c mice's spleen lymphocytes were isolated by using EZ-Sep<'TM> Mouse 1X. Under ConA stimulation, spleen lymphocytes were pretreated with LEF, then washed and co-cuhured with BMSCs. We set up four groups to investigate in this study: group A, spleen lymphocytes alone; group B, spleen lymphocytes with BM- SCs; group C, LEF-pretreated spleen lymphocytes alone and the group D, LEF-pretreated spleen lymphocytes with BMSCs. T-lymphocytes proliferation was assessed by MTT. FCM was used to analysis T-lymphocytes apoptosis and surface markers of CD69 and CD28. The mRNA expression of interleukin (IL)-2, IL-10 were detected by real-time RT-PCR. Results In vitro, the T-lymphocytes'values of A570 nm were significantly lower in group B and group C, compared with group A (group B vs group C vs group A, 0.578±0.042 vs 0.502± 0.040 vs 0.778±0.035, P<0.01), while the value of A<,570 nm>in group D was 0.218±0.033, which was also obviously lower than that in group B and group C (P<0.01). There were no suppressing effects on T-lympho-cytes'activation and expression of IL-2 had been observed. The proportion of apoptotic T-lymphocytes in group B and group D were (2.29±0.32)％ and (4.22±0.98)％, which was significandy lower than that in group A (8.08±1.20) (P<0.01). The expression of IL-10 in group B and C were also lower than that in group A (group B vs group C vs group A, 0.098±0.039 vs 0.054±0.022 vs 1.000, P<0.01 ). Either, the expression of IL-10 in group D was 0.023±0.015, which was obviously lower than that in group B and group C (P<0.01). Conclusion BMSCs combined with LEF show synergistic immunoregulatary effects on mice's T-lymphoeytes.
