The changes in the levels of IFN-γ and IL-4 in peripheral blood of mice infected with Mycoplasma suis were investigated in the present study, in which BALB/c mice were infected with Mycoplasma suis and the levels of IFN-γ and IL-4 in peripheral blood of mice were determined by means of ELISA assay 3, 5 and 7 days after infection. The results showed that the lower level of IFN-γ and higher level of IL-4 could be demonstrated 3 and 5 days after infection in comparison with those of the control groups respectively(P<0.05, P<0.01), but there was no significant difference in the levels of IFN-γ and IL-4 after 7 days of infection (P>0.05) . It is evident from this result that determination of the levels of IFN-γ and IL-4 in peripheral blood of mice may constitute an additional sero-diagnostic index to infection with M.suis and provide the experimental data for the studies in the serology and immunology of this infection.

Objective To investigate the relationship between positive experience and perceived social support of the parents with a cerebral palsy child. Methods 105 parents with a cerebral palsy child who were hospitalized in the Third Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University between November , 2014 and January , 2015 were conveniently selected and investigated about their positive experience and perceived social support with general information questionnaire, positive aspects of caregiving and perceived social support scale. The correlation between the two was analyzed. Results The mean score of the parent′s positive experience was (30.82 ± 5.26); the dimension of self affirmation was (16.71 ± 3.06) and the dimension of life expectation was (14.10 ± 2.85). The scores of the parents′ positive experience were significantly different among gender, education of parents and the age,gender of children. The score of the parents′ positive experience was positively correlated with the total score of perceived social support (r = 0.214, P = 0.029) and the score of other support (r = 0.227, P = 0.020). Conclusions The parents′ positive experience was medium of the high level, which is worth of more attention in order to improve it. The higher perceived social support score is , the more positive experience parents will have.

Objective: To compare the influence of nickel-chromium alloy and gold-platinum alloy porcelain-fused-to-metal ( PFM ) on ultramicrostructure of canine gingival tissues, to survey the biological effects after PFM full crown restoration, and to provide data for selection of PFM materials. Methods; The nickel-chromium alloy and gold-platinum alloy PFM full crowns were used to repair canines in 3 healthy dogs. The microstructure of canine gingival tissue was observed through light microscope and transmission electron microscope. Apoptosis of canine gingival cells was detected by TUNEL method. Results; Under light microscope, inflammatory cell infiltration and partial bleeding were seen in the nickel-chromium alloy PFM full crown repaired canine gingival tissues. Under transmission electron microscope, large amount of cell apoptosis and neuclear condensation were observed in these tissues,and apoptotic index was 58.63% ±11. 12%. While under light microscope, inflammatory cell infiltration and partial bleeding were not seen in the gold-platinum metal PFM full crown repaired canine gingival tissues. Under transmission electron microscope, only small amount of cell apoptosis was detected in these tissues,and apoptotic index was 26. 90% ± 17. 35%. Statistical significance was found in both nickel-chromium alloy group and gold-platinum metal group compared to control group. There was also statistical significance between nickel-chromium alloy group and gold-platinum metal group in cell apoptosis numbers (P <0. 05). Cell apoptosis number in nickel-chromium alloy group was much higher than that in gold-platinum metal group. Conclusion; The negtive effects on ultramicrostructure of gingival tissue using nickel-chromium alloy PFM are more evident than using gold-platinum metal. When select PFM to repair defect teeth, it is better to select the inactive gold-platinum metal PFM as base crown.

Objective To evaluate the safety and feasibility of hepatectomy for huge focal nodu-lar hyperplasia of the liver. Methods The clinical data of 29 cases of huge FNH of the liver with an average diameter of 12.5 cm (10-26 cm) who were admitted to our hospital from 1996 to 2007 were retrospectively analyzed. Lesions protruded from the liver in 26 cases, compressed extrahepatic organs in 10 and adjoined or compressed hepatic hila in 19. Results All the lesions were successfully resected without operative death. The mean intraopreative blood loss was 747 ml (100-4000 ml). The first he-patic portal blocking was performed in 27 cases and the mean blocking time was 26 min (13-78 min).Among 19 cases of huge FNH involving hepatic hila, the mean intraopreative blood loss was 1011 ml,the mean blocking time 30 min and the liver cross-section was not completely sutured in 7 of these ca-ses. The intraoperative hemorrhea occurred in 7 and postoperative biliary fistula in 1. Twenty-seven cases were followed up for a median of 46 months (4-132 months) with no recurrence and the longest survival time had reached to 11 years. Conclusion Hepatectomy is a safe and feasible means for huge focal nodular hyperplasia of the liver. For those involving hepatic hila, distinguishing between the le-sion and intrahepatic vessels, performing resection closely around the lesion and dealing with the liver cross-section properly may be helpful to reduce the surgical complications.

Objective In order to evaluate that whether Pluronic P85 coated poly(butylcyanoacrylate) nanoparti-cles was able to deliver antiepileptic drug phenytoin into the brain va bypassing mesial temporal lobe epilepsy (MTLE)-induced Pgp in a rat model of MTLE. Methods The rat model of MTLE, induced by li-pilocarpine, was divided in-to two groups (6 for nanoparticle drug group and 7 for PHT drug group). Immunohistochemistry assay was performed to detect Pgp expression at the hippocampus. Nanoparticles were prepared by interfacial polymerization method. Dialysate samples of brain were collected at 30, 60, 120, 180, 240 and 300 min after drug administration by microdialysis tech-nology. Samples were analyzed by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Results The area under the curve (AUC) ratio of brain/plasma in Nanoparticle drug group was 0.370.10 which was significantly higher compared with 0.190.06 in conventional PHT drug group (P<0.05). The Pgp immunopositive area, as assessed by analysis of labeled surface area, was higher in the DG, CA3 and CA1 sector in the hippocampus of MTLE rats when compared to the normal rats. Conclusions Pluronic P85 coated PBCA nanoparticles can significantly deliver PHT into brain via bypassing MTLE-induced Pgp in a rat model of MTLE.
