Otjective To study whether there is the apoptosis of neural cells and the expressionof Bcl-2 protein in intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) in model of rats, for the further understanding the mechanism of the delayed damage of the neural cells around the hematoma after ICH. Methods Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, ten in each. With the Group A as the control, the rest 40 were used to set up intracerebral hemorrhage model. The brains were taken out at 12th, 24th, 48th and 72th hours, respectively. Apoptosis cells were detected with terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated dUTP nick end labeling (TUNEL), and the expression of Bcl-2 protein was detected with immunochemical stainging methed (SP). Results In the control group, no apoptosis cells and Bcl-2protein were detected. In rest groups, the apoptosis cells and Bcl-2 protein were expressed in different degree.Apoptosis rates verified and corresponded with the time after ICH, with the peak at 48th -72th hour after hemorrhage.The peak rate of apoptosis cells was (24. 50± 2.69)% and Bcl-2 protein expression was (20. 76 ± 1.97)% . There was significant difference between the experimental groups and control (P＜0.05), and no linear relationship between the apoptosis rate and the expression of Bcl-2 protein. Conclusion Apoptosis may be an important factor in the secondary trauma of ICH. There is a time leg after hemorrhage. All this is instructive to clinical treatment in time. Bcl-2 protein keeps increasing in a certain time after hemorrhage, but not synchronize with the cell apoptosis. This indicates that bcl-2 has the effect to reduce the apoptosis of neural cells.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of organic damages in Kawasaki disease(KD),and to improve the diagnosis and treatment level.Methods Two hundred and two cases with KD admitted in Children's Hospital Affiliated to Capital Institute of Pediatrics from Jan.2000 to Oct.2007 were reviewed,and their blood routine,urine,stool routine,liver function,kidney function,chest X-ray,and so on,were investigated.The incidence of organic damages in KD was evaluated.Results Among the 202 KD children,137 were male and 65 were female,the male-female ratio was 2.11.0.Most of them were infants,and 71.3% of them were younger than 3 years old.The damages of hematological system were detected in 78/202 cases(38.6%),respiratory system 76/202 cases(37.6%),cardiovascalar system 68/202 cases(33.7%),urinary system 52/202 cases(25.6%),digestive system 23/202 cases(11.4%),and central nervous system 3/202 cases(1.5%).On the other hand,3 cases complicated with septemia,1 case with juvenile rheumatoid arthritis and 1 case with Henoch-Schonlein purpura.Conclusions The data indicate that the incidence of hematological system involvement in the sick-children with KD were highest,with more than 2 organs involved simaltaneously.Many organic damages were involved in KD and diverse clinical manifestation could be found.Physicians should understand not only the typical features but also the rare symptoms and organic damage so as to prevent misdiagnosis and improper treatment.J Appl Clin Pediatr,2009,24(1):31-32

The gerbil model in this study was induced by 30 min of bilateral carotid occlusion and 120 min of reperfusion. Verapamil ( 0.5 mg/kg)was given intravenously 10 min before ischemia, or 5 min after bilateral carotid occlusion. Local cerebral blood flow was determined by the hydrogen clearance teachnique. Brain water content was detected by the wet and dry methods. We conclude that verapamil used in this model may improve post-ischemic hypo-perfusion, increase local cerebral blood flow in ischemic region (P

Objective To observe the inhibition effect of recombinant human monocyte chemoattractant protein－ 1(MCP－ 1) on implantation and growth of human osteosarcoma cells. Methods The method of protein fusion was used for the expression of MCP－ 1 in b.coli and then the MCP－ 1 was extracted and purified. Fifty nude mice were divided into 10 groups. For A1－ 4 groups, the 5 mice in each group were locally injected with doses of 1? g, 10? g, 100? g, 1 mg of MCP－ 1 at the same time when 4.4? 106 osteosarcoma cells were implanted in vivo. For B0－ 4 groups, 5 mice in each group, the injection were given 2 weeks later when there was the formation of the tumor mass at doses of 0? g(0.2 ml normal saline), 1? g, 10? g, 100? g, 1 mg of MCP－ 1 every other day. Five mice in group C were injected with dose of 0.2 ml NS as control. Results Implantation of osteosarcoma cells were completely prevented among mice of group A2－ 4, tumor inhibiting effect even in group A1 and the rate of tumor inhibition was 69.69％ . AKP values in mice of group A1－ 4 were much lower than those of group B0(P

This study was aimed to isolate and characterize of chemical constituents in a traditional Mongolian medicine HERBA CLEMATIS. Normal and reverse phase coloumn chromatography, gel filtration chromatography sephadex LH-20, and preparative HPLC were used for isolation and purification compounds from the water extraction of the arial part ofC. aethusaefoliaTurcz. The planar structures and spatial configurations of isolated compounds were identified by high resolution MS, 1D and 2D NMR, and other spectrographic methods. The chemical research on the Mongolian medicine results 6 compounds, dihydrodehydrodiconiferyl alcohol (1), syringaresinol (2), pinoresinol (3), epi-pinoresinol (4), lirioresinol B dimethyl ether (5) and loliolide (6). All the compounds were isolated from this plant for the first time.

Source data and its source documents are the foundation of clinical research. Proper source data management plays an essential role for compliance with regulatory and GCP requirements. Both paper and electronic source data co-exist in China. Due to the increasing use of electronic technology in pharmaceutical and health care industry, electronic data source becomes an upcoming trend with clear advantages. To face new opportunities and to ensure data integrity, quality and traceability from source data to regulatory submission, this document demonstrates important concepts, principles and best practices during managing source data. It includes but not limited to: (1) important concepts of source data (e.g., source data originator, source data elements, source data identifier for audit trail, etc.); (2) various modalities of source data collection in paper and electronic methods (e.g., paper CRF, EDC, Patient Report Outcomes/eCOA, etc.); (3) seven main principles recommended in the aspect of data collection, traceability, quality standards, access control, quality control, certified copy and security during source data management; (4) a life cycle from source data creation to obsolete is used as an example to illustrate consideration and implementation of source data management.

To investigate effects of cultured astrocytes from Sprague Dawley rat cerebral cortex on the development of PC12 cellsderived from rat pheochromocytoma, PC12 cells were cocultured with astrocyte according to different astrocytes/neurons ratio(50:1～1:1) , or with serum-free conditioned medium of astrocytes(ACM). The vitality of PC12 cells was measured by sensi-tive MTT method and their morphologic features were observed by Olympus light microscope. The results showed: (1) WhenPC12 cells were cultured with ACM, compared with the control group, the vitality of PC12 cells was increased significantly (0.255+0. 012 vs 0. 510±0. 036, P<0. 001) and the morphological changes were not obvious in the experimental group. (2) WhenPC12 cells were cocultured with astrocyte in the ratio of 30: 1～1: 1, not only was the vitality of PC12 cells enhanced, but alsothe neurite-outgrowth of PC12 was observed. (3) When PC12 cells were cocuhured with astrocyte in proportion of 50: 10～40 : 1, the vitality of PC12 cells was also enhanced, but the neurite-outgrowth of PC12 was not found. This study suggested en-hancement of PC12 cell-vitality was mediated by soluble factors produced by astrocytes, while activity of the neurite-promotingwas associated with cell-cell contact and with the ratio of two cells.
