Objective To investigate the role of Ephrin A2 in the regeneration and reinnervation of hair cells in the chick cochlea following kanamycin ototoxicity.Methods 66 newly hatched Roman chickens (3 days old) were randomly divided into experimental group and control groups. Experimental chickens (n=48) received intramuscular kanamycin (200 mg/kg:Sigma,St Louis,MO) for 10 consecutive days and were subsequently sacrificed 2 days before the last injection,and 1,3,7,10,15,21,30,and 60 days after the last injection (n=6 per subgroup). Control chickens (n=18) were untreated and sacrificed 3,13 and 43 days after hatching (n=6 per subgroup). Ephrin A2 protein expression in acoustic ganglia was determined by western blot analysis in all chickens after sacrifice. Results Ephrin A2 protein expression was found and the protein level was almost same in acoustical ganglia of all normal chickens. After kanamycin exposure,the Ephrin A2 protein expression level in the cochlea of the experiment chickens from 2 to 7 days after last kanamycin injection was lower than that in control chickens,respectively. Ephrin A2 expression increased obviously at 15 days after kanamycin last injection. By 30 days after the cessation of kanamycin treatment,the level of Ephrin A2 protein approximated to that in normal control group.Conclusion The expression of Ephrin A2 protein in the acoustical ganglia basically synchronizes with the regeneration and the reinnervation of the hair cells in the chicken cochlea following kanamycin damage,indicating that Ephrin A2 may play an important role in this process.

Objective To explore the dilution regression method of coagulation detection(PT ,APTT) in fat blood samples . Methods We collected 40 normal blood coagulation specimens (no fat blood ,no jaundice ,no hemolysis) in Yan′an hospital of Kun-ming ,then we detected the PT and APTT of the original plasma and 3-fold diluted plasma and 5-fold diluted plasma ,the we used the data both of before dilution and diluted to do the linear regression analysis ,and finally we got the regression equations of each index .we also collected 33 fat blood samples in Yanan hospital of Kunming ,which be divide into three groups through the severity of triglycerides :mild fat blood group(1 .7 mmol/L≤TG<11 .0 mmol/L) and moderate fat blood group(11 .0 mmol/L≤TG<20 .0 mmol/L)and severe fat blood group(TG≥20 .0 mmol/L) ,then we detected the PT and APTT after 3-fold diluted plasma and high-speed centrifugation plasma ,and then we brought diluted results into the normal regression equations and the results were compared with the high-speed centrifugation results .Results Because most of the 5-fold diluted plasma can not get the effective results ,so we use 3-fold diluted plasma to get the regression equations .The results of 3-fold diluted plasma was calculated by the regression equa-tions ,which then compared with high-speed centrifugation results ,after the analysis of statistical software ,two results had not sta-tistically significant (P>0 .05) .Conclusion Dilution regression method can be used to detect the fat blood samples in the clinical coagulation detection .
