Superficial siderosis of the central nervous system is a seldom disease in clinical practice. Its most common clinical manifestations are hearing loss and ataxia. It is a hemosiderin deposition in the surface of the brain and spinal cord after chronic subarachnoid hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance imaging can make the diagnosis. However, further research and clinical verification are needed.

This paper introduces several test methods of characteristics of alarm indicator lights which can be used in the medical alarm system to verify the compliance of YY 0709-2009. These methods include the direct measurement of the pulse current supply of the alarm signals, image analysing of a video and reception by photoelectric sensor. After the comparation of the advantages and disadvantages among these methods, this paper proposes a new method of signal reception. This method which used a silicon photocell as the sensor with light filter in its front, and amplified circuit in the output end then used an oscillograph as the reviewer, has resolved the testing difficulties of the flashing signal simulating by LCD, and can be applied to test the alarm indicator lights in any medical electrical equipment.

Objective To establish a reverse transcription-PCR(RT-PCR) assay for detecting ASPP1 mRNA expression levels in normal blood monocyte and leukemia jurkat,HL-60 and K-562 cell lines.And to analyze the differences in relative expression levels of ASPP1 in respective cell line by calculating the value of ASPP1/?-actin for evaluating the effects of ASPP1 on inhibiting the malignant transformation of normal cells.Methods The monocyte isolation reagent was used to isolate normal blood monocyte,and the RPMI 1640 medium was used to culture jurkat,HL-60 and K562 cell lines.The cell RNA was extracted with TripureTM reagent and amplified by RT-PCR.The amplified products were E.B.stained and 10?l of the products were used for agarose gel electrophoresis.The expression levels of ASPP1 mRNA and ?-actin in respective cell line were measured and then compared.Result The ASPP1 mRNA was expressed both in normal blood monocyte and all the leukemic cells.The value of ASPP1/?-actin was 0.545?0.019 in normal blood monocyte,and it was 0.155?0.081,0.199?0.016 and 0.191?0.015,respectively,in the leukemic cells jurkat,HL-60,and K-562.The expression level of ASPP1 mRNA was higher in normal cells than that in the three leukemic cell lines.Conclusion On the process of tumor development,an ASPP1-p53 compound is formed by collaborated effects of ASPP1 and p53,which may act on the arch-apoptosis gene promoter,specifically enhance the ability of p53 binding DNA,and reinforce the function of p53 in enhancing apoptosis.The declined expression and/or deprived function of ASPP1 might lead to tumorigenesis,implying that the function of ASPP1 in enhancing p53 apoptosis may play an important role on inhibiting the malignant transformation of normal cells.

Objective To investigate the effects of angiotensinⅡ(AngⅡ) receptors antagonist on the LPS-induced acute lung injury (ALl).Method Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group;in LPS group,mrs were treated with LPS (10 mg/kg) at 3,6,12,and 24 hours;in LPS+ AngⅡreceptors antagonist group,pre-expasure to AngⅡreceptors antagonist [Sar~1,Ile~8] AngⅡfor 30 minutes before treated with LPS (10 mg/kg) for 6 hours.All the rats were killed,and the lung tissue was collected.Results Compared with control group pulmonary wet/dry weight ratio was significantly higher in the other two groups (P

This study focused on prevention and treatment of acute and chronic asthma by oligonucleotides containing unmethylated CpG motifs (CpG-ODNs). Acute and chronic asthma models of mice were made by sensitizing and inhaling ovalbumin (OVA); The number of white blood cells (WBC) and eosnophils (EOS) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was counted and the concentration of cytokines and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) was examined in BALF by ELISA kit. After that, TLR-9 mRNA was detected in mice spleen cells by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and TLR-9 protein was determined in mice lung tissues by Western blotting. Compared with acute asthma models of mice, WBC in BALF decreased obviously in the groups of Bordetella pertussis, CpG-ODNs and seq A to seq I which were administrated by both of intragastric (ig) and intraperitoneal (ip) injection group, EOS decreased obviously in Bordetella pertussis, CpG+ and seq A to seq D ig groups, and in all ip administrating groups, although it was not effective in the groups of seq E to seq I. In chronic asthma models of mice, IFN-gamma increased ((1) control: 176.45 +/- 23.46 pg x mL(-1); (2) model: 174.11 +/- 22.71 pg x mL(-1); (3) CpG+ ip: 220.56 +/- 15.42 pg x mL(-1); (4) seq A ip: 225.23 +/- 21.60 pg x mL(-1)) and IL-4 decreased obviously (1) control: 66.91 +/- 5.81 pg x mL(-1); (2) model: 81.02 +/- 11.24 pg x mL(-1); (3) CpG+ ip: 63.99 +/- 6.09 pg x mL(-1); (4) seq A ip: 62.75 +/- 10.03 pg x mL(-1)) in the BALF of CpG+ and seq A ip group, although VEGF was not changed in this research. And also, TLR-9 mRNA in spleen cells (TLR-9/GAPDH: (1) control: 0.62 +/- 0.13; (2) model: 0.66 +/- 0.17; (3) CpG+ ip: 1.46 +/- 0.26; (4) seq A ip: 1.42 +/- 0.34) and TLR-9 protein in lung tissues (TLR-9/beta-actin: (1) control: 0.63 +/- 0.16; (2) model: 0.61 +/- 0.07; (3) CpG+ ip: 1.15 +/- 0.25; (4) seq A ip: 1.03 +/- 0.29) both increased in ip groups, but the change was not significant in ig group. The study confirms that CpG-ODNs and seq A could inhibit airway inflammation remarkably, this mechanism might be related with regulating Th1/Th2 balance and controlling the expression of TLR-9.
