Objective To evaluate the therapeutic effect and safety of inhaling magnesium sulfate on infants with acute bronc-hiolitis. Methods Ninty infants with bronchiolitis were divided into 3 groups randomly and received either magnesium sulfate infusion inhalation or intravenous injection or normal saline inhalation respectively. The change of parameters of each group were observed and compared. Results Magnesium sulfate inhalation group and intravenous injection group were superior to control group in terms of the improvement of blood gas, clinical scores, continuous time of symptoms,signs, hospital days and clinical total efficiency(P

Objective To investigate the relationship and mechanism between the serum level of high mobility group box protein-1(HMGB1)and the mortality rate in patients with sepsis.Methods The serum levels of HMGB1,superoxide dismutase(SOD)and malondialdehyde(MDA)in 48 patients with sepsis were determined.The clinical outcomes in those patients were recorded and anlyzed.Results After the onset of sepsis,the serum HMGB1 levels of both death group and survival group were increased gradually and peaked at 72h after the onset of the disease.The semm HMGB1 levels of death group were much higher than those of survival group except at 24h(t=6.07,6.20,24.43,all P＜0.05).The activity of serum SOD of death group was markedly lower than that of survival group at 12h,24h,48h and 72h(t=10.24,20.61,11.67,33.33,all P＜0.05),and the level of serum MDA of death group was significantly higher than those of survival group at all time points(t=26.06,22.17,23.86,9.49,5.95,all P＜0.05).There was a significantly positive correlation between the serum HMGB1 and MDA level.Conlusioa The increase in serum HMGB1 level may be the important reasoll for the increased mortality rate in patients with sepsis;Oxidant/antioxidant imbalance may be olle reason for the increase in serum HMGB1 level.

Objective To compare the recent clinical efficacy between ileal neobladder and orthotopic ileal neobladder.Methods The clinical data of 62 patients with bladder cancer who were performed with cystectomy plus urinary diversion were retrospectively analyzed.Among them,32 patients were performed with orthotopic ileal neobladder(orthotopic ileal neobladder group)and 30 patients were performed with ileal neobladder(ileal neobladder group).The operation time,intraoperative bleeding,intestinal function recovery time,hospital stay,early postoperative complications were compared between two groups.Results All the patients were successful,and there was no operative deaths occurred.There was no significant difference in the postoperative intestinal function recovery time between two groups(P ＞ 0.05).The operation time,intraoperative bleeding,hospital stay in orthotopic ileal neobladder group was higher than that in ileal neobladder group [(463.59 ± 50.24)min vs.(436.07 ± 44.91)min,(1081.16 ± 320.49)ml vs.(867.53 ± 224.61)ml,(46.88 ± 4.67)d vs.(20.37 ± 5.24)d],but the incidence of early postoperative complications in orthotopic ileal neobladder group was lower than that in ileal neobladder group [25.0％(8/32)vs.53.3％(16/30)],and there were significant differences between two groups(P ＜0.05).Conclusions Two kinds of urinary diversion surgical urinary diversion are clinically more mature manner,in clinical practice.Clinicians should be based on the patient's comprehensive situation,combined with the clinical experience to select the most appropriate surgical procedures.

Objective To observe effects and mechanisms of insulin on reperfusion injury after cerebral ischemia.Methods Sixty-six male Wistar rats were used in this study.All rats were divided into 3 groups as treated group(A),control group(B) and random sham-operated group(C).Four-vessel occlusion was used to establish global cerebral ischemia reperfusion model in study groups.The treated group were divided into 5 groups(A1-A5) and intraperineally injected with biosynthetic human insulin 2 IU/(kg?d) and 50%glucose 2 g/(kg?d) for 7 days,the blood glucose was monitored in preoperative and postoperative 3,6,12,24 h,and the blood glucose was maintained between 3.5-6.5 mmol/L.These animals of control group were given with saline 2 mL/(kg?d) for 7 days in abdominal cavity.All the rats were killed in the seventh day,brain homogenate was collected for detection of neuron specific enolase(NSE)and nitric oxide(NO).The hippocampus was separated for observation of electronic microscope.Results Concentration of NSE in brain tissue in group C was significantly higher than that of group A and group B,while the level in group A was higher than that of group B.Concentration of NO in group C was lower than that of group A and group B while the level of NO in group A was significantly lower than that of group B.Electron microscope showed that the ultrastructure of sham-operated group was nearly normal,damage degree of hippocampal neuron and gliacyte and capillary was gradually worse from group A1,A2 to A4,the damage degree of group B1,B2 and B4 was serious and there was no difference among them.Conclusion Insulin can really promote recovery of the cerebral injury after ischemia reperfusion.

Objective To explore the feasibility of culturing dermal papillae cells (DPC) of hu- man hair in a serum-flee medium,and to observe the growth characteristics of these cells.Methods Cell culture flasks (plates) were pretreated with fibronectin,and DPC (2nd passage) were incubated with Williams E serum-flee medium supplemented with insulin-transferrin-selenite (ITS).Cells were observed by an inverted phase-contrast microscope.Proliferation of DPC was evaluated with 3-(4,5-dimethylthia- zol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyl tetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay and by their growth curve.Results In a serum-free medium,2nd passage DPC adhered to the flask surface within two to four hours of incubation; two to three days later,confluence,of the cells was observed,without noticeable proliferation.Four days later,cell connection was interrupted,isolated cells or cell clusters were seen,and detachment of some cells from the flask surface was observed.One to two weeks later,most cells had died.After incubation with 4% bovine serum for ten hours,cell proliferation was observed surrounding the remaining viable cell colonies. DPC growth curve showed stagnant phase and slow growth phase;however,log growth phase was not ob- served.Conclusion DPC could be successfully cultured in serum-free medium.However,the culture con- dition needs to be further optimized.

0.05).At the late stage (8-48 h) of incubation,the presence time of E7_(49-57)/K~b was significantly pro- longed on the surface of Tat-E7_(49-57)-incubated cells than that on the surface of other peptides-incubated cells (all P

Objective To examine the proliferative effect of synthetic cyclic human cartilage glycoprotein-39 (HCgp39) on T cell of collagen-induced arthritis (CIA) rat,and to explore the role of HCgp39 in rheumatoid arthritis (RA).Methods We established the rat model of the collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).The T lymphocytes were isolated and incubated with HCgp39.Proliferation of T cells was determined by cell counting kit-8.Results Two weeks after the first immunization,T cell response to HCgp39 was more significant in CIA groups than in controls( P＜0.01 ),and the response was associated with disease course ( r =0.732,P＜0.01 ) and anti- HCgp39 antibody ( r =0.460,P＜0.01 ).A strong correlation between T cell proliferation and pannus ( r =-0.516,P＜0.01 ),synovium score ( r =-0.346,P＜0.01 ) was also observed.Besides,the levels of anti- HCgp39 antibody and comp in each CIA group were significantly higher than in controls( P＜0.01 ),and the anti- HCgp39 antibody strongly correlated with disease course( r=0.346,P＜0.01 ) and comp( r =0.235,P＜0.01 ).Conclusion The proliferative response of T cell to HCgp39 was found in the early stage of CIA rat,and the HCgp39 peptide antibody was detected in serum,suggesting that the HCgp39 antigen plays an important role in the pathogenesis of early RA.

ObjectiveTo examine the proliferative effect of synthetic C Ⅱ260-272 peptide on T cells of collagen-induced arthritis(CIA) rat,and to explore the role of C Ⅱ 260-272 in RA.MethodsThe rat model of collagen-induced arthritis(CIA) was established.The T lymphocytes were isolated and incubated with C Ⅱ 260-272 peptide.Proliferation of T cells was determined by cell counting kit-8.The data were analyzed with SPSS 17.0.The Mann-Whitney U test was used for proliferation levels comparison between the two groups,and the relationship of cell proliferation with other indicators was analyzed with Spearman's correlation.Antibody levels between the two groups were compared using t test.ResultsThree weeks after the first immunization,T cell response to C Ⅱ 260-272 in the CIA groups [0.963 (0.332-1.628)] was more significant than in controls[0.332 (0.331-0.357)](P＜0.05),and the response was associated with disease course(r=0.624,P＜0.01 ).Strong correlation between T cell proliferation and the antibodies,including antibC Ⅱ antibody and anti-Cit-bC Ⅱ antibody was also observed(P＜0.01 ).Two weeks later,the levels of anti-C Ⅱ peptide antibody in each CIA group were significantly higher than those in the controls(P＜0.01).The antibodies strongly correlated with pannus formation (P＜0.01,P＜0.05).ConclusionThe proliferative response of T cell to C Ⅱ 260-272 peptide can be found in the early stage of CIA rat,and the anti-C Ⅱ peptide antibody could be detected in the serum,which suggeststhat the C Ⅱ peptide may play an important role in activating T/B lymphocytes and causing immune reaction when CIA is induced by C Ⅱ.

ObjectiveTo investigate the inhibitory effect of lentivirusly-mediated ObR-siRNA on transplanted MCF-7 human breast cancer cells by intratumoral injection.MethodsA model of subcutaneous implanted tumor was generated through injecting MCF-7 human breast cancer cells into the nude mice.Thirty established mice with MCF-7 breast cancer cells xenograft were divided into 3 groups randomly,and mice in the experimental group were intratumorally injected with ObR-siRNA lentivirus,while the negative control group and blank control group mice were injected with the same dose of negative lentivirus and normal saline.All mice were subcutaneously injected with recombinant human leptin around the tumor site once a day.Tumor size was blindly measured every other day and the mRNA expression and protein expression levels of ObR in each group were determined.ResultsKnockdown of ObR-treated xenografted nude mice with a high leptin microenvironment was successfully established.Local injection of ObR-siRNA lentivirus significantly suppressed the established tumor growth in nude mice(P ＜ 0.01,P ＜0.01 ).Real time-PCR and Western blotting showed that the mRNA and protein expression of ObR was decreased in the ObR-siRNA lentivirus group( P ＜ 0.01,P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsIntratumoral injection of recomhinant ObR-siRNA lentivirus inhibits the growth of MCF-7 cells xenografts in the nude mice,suggesting that ObR might represent a therapeutic target in the genotherapies of human breast cancer.

Objective To study the effect of gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist(GnRHa)against car-boplation-induced gonadotoxicity in rats. Methods Forty Wistar rats were divided into four groups which received carboplation, GnRHa + carboplation, GnRHa and normal saline respectively(n=10 for each group). Blood samples were collected from the abdominal aorta and the levels of blood follicle stimulation hormone (FSH) and estradiol (E<2>) were determined. Both ovaries and uterus of each rat were removed to measure the amount and the maturity of follicles. Body mass and morphological and pathological features of the rats were also observed. Results Compared with that in control group, the body mass of ovary and uterus decreased (P<0.05), and a significant reduction was observed in the number of ovarian follicles at each grade (P<0.05). The levels of E2 significantly lowered (P<0.05) and the level of FSH markedly ascended in group carboplation. Compared with that in group carboplation, the amount of primitive follicles significantly increased in group GnRHa + carboplation (P<0.05), and carboplation showed markedly protective effect on the ovarian and uterine morphological construction of rats. Conclusion Gn-Rha, appliying to preventing the rat reproduction damage in advance, has the certain protective function.
