Objective: To explore the effect of macrophages with different activated phenotypes on tumor growth, lymphangiogenesis and lymp node metastasis in mice bearing Lewis lung carcinoma (LLC). Methods: The xenografted models were established via subcutaneous injection of LLC cells and activated macrophages into mice. They were divided into 4 groups: blank control group, classically activated macrophages (caMphi) group, alternatively activated macrophages (aaMphi) group and RAW264. 7 group with 10 mice in each group. The growth of transplanted tumors was examined dynamically and then the mice were sacrificed on d 28. The transplanted tumors were resected and the lymph nodes and distant metastasis were observed by HE staining. The LYVE-1+ lymphatic vessel densities (LVD) were detected by immunohistochemistry. Furthermore, other 40 mice were randomly divided into the four groups and the survival rates were recorded. Results: Compared with the blank control group, the aaMphi and RAW264. 7 xenografted tumors grew faster and had more lymph nodes and lung metastasis (P < 0.01) as well as increased LVD and decreased survival rates (P < 0.05) in the aaMphi group and RAW264.7 group. The number of metastatic lymph nodes and LVD were significantly higher in the aaMphi group than those in the RAW264. 7 group (P < 0.05). However, there was no significant difference in tumor growth, lung metastatic nodes and survival rate of tumor-bearing mice between the two groups (P > 0.05). Conclusion: aaMphi can promote the growth, lymphangiogenesis, lymph nodes and lung metastasis in transplanted LLC tumors, and reduce the survival rate of tumor-bearing mice. In the tumorigenesis of transplanted LLC tumors, RAW264. 7 cells may toward aaMphi.

Objective To explore the correlation between the strength of trunk flexors and extensors obtained by isometric and isokinetic concentric tests. Methods The strength of trunk extensors and flexors were measured by isometric and isokinetic concentric tests during trunk flexion and extension in 50 healthy subjects, and the peak torque of flexion and extension (FPT and EPT) and the ratios of FPT/EPT were analyzed with correlation and regression analysis. Results The FPT and EPT of trunk flexors and extensors were positively correlated (r_F=0.827,P0.05, respectively), the regression equations of FPT and EPT were y^=8.158+1.097X and y^=-12.375+0.781X, respectively. Conclusion The isometric test of the trunk extensors and flexors could assess accurately the changes of the trunk muscle strength without aggravating pain and diseases. It is more reasonable to evaluate the stability of trunk with the FPT/EPT ratio at neutral position.

Objective:To analyze phylogenetic structure and molecular characteristics of H5N6 avian influenza virus (AIVs) isolated from live poultry market (LPM).Methods:Oropharyngeal and cloacal swabs from poultry, and environmental samples were collected from LPM in Urumqi in December 2018, AIVs were isolated and identified by inoculation of chicken embryo, hemagglutination test and RT-PCR, the viral whole genome was amplified with the universal primers of influenza A virus, and then sequenced, pairwise sequence alignments, phylogenetic and molecular characteristics analysis were performed by BLAST, Clustal W, MEGA-X and DNAStar software.Results:Six strains of H5N6 AIVs were isolated from poultry samples, the identity between the viral genes was high (99.4%-100.0%), so the isolates were the same source. BLAST analysis revealed that the viral NP sequence had the highest identity (99.7%) with H5N6 AIVs isolated from poultry in Suzhou, while the sequence of the remaining 7 viral genes had the highest identity (99.0%-100.0%) with H5N6 AIVs isolated from environment in Guangdong during 2017 to 2018. Phylogenetic analysis showed that the viral HA belonged to Clade 2.3.4.4C, and the viral HA, NA, PB1, PA, NP, and MP were all clustered together with H5N6 AIVs isolated from mink in Eastern China in 2018, while the PB2 and NS were clustered together with H5N6 AIVs isolated from environment in Guangdong from 2017 to 2018. The HA cleavage site contained multiple basic amino acid residues, which was highly pathogenic AIVs (HPAIVs). S137A and T160A mutations of HA could increase binding to human-type receptor SAα2, 6-Gal. Additionally, the viral multiple mutations, including 59-69 deletion in NA, the L89V, G309D, R477G, I495V, I504V, D391E, and A661E in PB2, as well as the P42S, D92E, and 80-84 deletion in NS1, could enhance the viral virulence and pathogenicity to mammals. Conclusions:The 6 strains of H5N6 HPAIVs isolated from LPM have relatively close genetic relationship with H5N6 AIVs isolated from mink in Eastern China and environment in Guangdong during 2017 to 2018, the viral multiple mutations could increase its pathogenicity to mammals, which could pose a potential risk to public health.

The expressions of Col-Ⅱ, AGG and Sox9 mRNA in chondrocytes were up-regulated in the experimental groups, compared with the control group and the best effect appeared when concentration of BMP-7 was 200μg/L.(P<0.05).Conclusion:BMP-7/tantalum/chondrocytes composites enhanced in vitro chon-drocyte proliferation and extracellular matrix greatly, and can promote chondrogenic gene expression.

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between ulcerative colitis (UC) and lung injuries by assessing their clinical manifestations and characteristics.

METHODSFrom July 2009 to April 2012, 91 UC patients presenting to Longhua Hospital who met the established inclusion and exclusion criteria were enrolled in this retrospective study. According to the scores of disease activity index, the patients were divided into the mild, moderate, and severe groups. Meanwhile, the records of pulmonary symptoms, chest X-ray image, and pulmonary function were reviewed.

RESULTSSixty-eight (74.7%) patients had at least 1 pulmonary symptom, such as cough (38.5%), shortness of breath (27.5%), and expectoration (17.6%). And 77 (84.6%) had at least 1 ventilation abnormality. Vital capacity value was significantly lower in the severe group than that in the mild group (91.82%±10.38% vs. 98.92%±12.12%, P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONSLung injury is a common extraintestinal complication of UC. According to the theory in Traditional Chinese Medicine that the lung and large intestine are related, both the lungs and large intestine should be treated simultaneously.
