Objective The effectiveness on the enrichment of nuclear red blood cells(NRBC) in umbilical cord blood by polyvinylidene difluoride membrane was investigated with intervention on membrane ionic channels.Methods NRBC was isolated by the isolation solution with a density of 1.067 g/ml.The rates of the cell enrichment using verapamil and furosemide intervention by discontinuous density centrifugation were examined by flow cytometry.The NRBC that past through PVDF membrane with pore size of 5 ?m were checked and quantified by nested-PCR.Results The optimal centrifugation density was 1.067 g/ml.The mean purity of NRBC after centrifugation was 2.54%,yet the purity after intervention increased to 9.36%(3.7-fold increment).The NRBC passing through PVDF membrane was from 0.83% to 6.15%,with enrichment of 7.4 times.When NRBC was 120 cells/ml,the density of the nested PCR products increased by nearly 4 times after intervention(4.48 vs 17.78).Conclusions Verapamil and furosemide could affect the morphology of cells and promote the rate of NRBC enrichment.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics of idiopathic hypereosinophilic syndrome (IHES) with gastrointestinal manifestations,and to improve the level of diagnosis and treatment of IHES. Methods:The clinical materials, process of diagnosis and treatment and prognosis of 9 patients diagnosed as IHES with gastrointestinal manifestations were retrospectively analyzed. Results:The average age of 9 patients was (22.66± 12.86)years old,and the ratio of male and female was about 1.25∶ 1. The main clinical manifestations included abdominal pain,diarrhea and abdominal distension.The eosinophil percentages in peripheral blood and bone marrow of the patients were (42.66 ± 19.88 )% and (39.33 + 15.99 )%, respectively.The ascites exudate cytology examination showed eosinophil infiltrated.The results of gastroscope or colonoscope showed mucosal hyperemia and edema,scattered bleeding spots, and dark red granular hyperplasia; the colon was affected frecuently.The histological biopsy confirmed that the mucosal was infiltrated by eosinophils.The abdominal CT of 6 patients showed that the walls of stomach or bowel were thickened.The abdominal symptoms disappeared,and the ascites was absorpted in 9 patients after the treatment of glucocorticoid.After 2 years of follow up,2 patients had relapse, others had no recurrence.Conclusion:Performing the routine diagnosis and treatment of gastrointestinal diseases, the clinicians should consider the possibility of IHES in order to avoid the misdiagnosis and delayed treatment. When IHES is diagnosed,steroid treatment should be performed in preference.

Objective To compare the efficacy and safety of transurethral plasmakinetic resection of prostate (PKRP) and transurethral resection of prostate (TURP) for benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Methods The clinical and follow-up data of 186 patients with BPH were analyzed retrospectively. Two groups of BPH patients (90 patients in PKRP group,96 patients in TURP group) were treated by PKRP and TURP,respectively. The clinical date and therapeutic result were measured and compared for both in-tra-and inter-groups. Results In PKRP group,the operative time,intraoperative bleeding,the rates of damage of prostate surgical membranes,secondary hemorrhage (within 1 month),the rates of postoperative temporary urinary incontinence (within 2 months) were (65.3 ± 12.8)min,(213.6 ± 78.2)ml,5.6%(5/90),2.2% (2/90)and 21.1% (19/90),respectively,while in TURP group,these parameters were (83.6 ± 17.5) min,( 397.4 ± 142.7 )ml,17.7%( 17/96 ),11.5% ( 11/96 )and 36.5% ( 35/96 ),respectively. There were signif-icant differences between the 2 groups (P < 0.05 ). In PKRP group,the international prostate symptom score (IPSS),quality of life(QOL),Qmax and PVR were (4.7 ± 1.3 )scores,(1.1 ± 0.4)scores,( 18.7 ± 5.6)ml/s,(8.9 ± 2.5)ml,respectively,while in TURP group,these parameters were (5.3 ± 1.0)scores,(1.2 ± 0.5) scores,(20.4 ± 4.3 )ml/s,(11.2 ± 3.2)ml,respehively. These parameters were significantly improved after both procedures(P < 0.05),but there was no significant difference in the above parameters between the 2 groups (P > 0.05). Conclusions PKRP and TURP have similar efficacy in the treatment of BPH,but PKRP ap-pears to have an advantage of more safety and easier blood controls with less physical damage and complica-lion than those in TURP. PKRP is a better treatment option for BPH.

Objective To investigate the immunological properties of Rv1009 domain. Methods BALB/c mice were immunized with Rv1009 domain three times at 2-week interval. ELISA was used to detect the antiRv1009 domain antibody titer in the sera of immunized mice sera. The spleen lymphocytes of the immunized mice were separated and the stimulation index (SI) was measured by MTT colorimetry. Levels of secreted IFN-γ, IL-10 and IL-12 upon specific antigen stimulation were detected by ELISA. The BALB/c mice immunized with Rv1009 domain were intravenously infected with MTB H37Rv. Four weeks after the final injection, the number of CFU in spleens was determined. Results The titer of the specific antibody in sera of the immunized BALB/c mice was 1:12 800. The SI of Rv1009 domain immunized group (2. 40±0. 18) was significantly higher than that of saline immunized group (0.90±0.21). The IFN-γ,IL-10 and IL-12 levels in culture supematant of spleen lymphecytes from the fusion proteins immunized mice was (1 432±30) ng/L, (503±11) ng/L and (311±11) ng/L respectively, significant different from that of saline immunized group[(256±20) ng/L, (76±6) ng/L and(56±8) ng/L,P<0.01]. Four weeks after the final injection,compared with normal saline immunized mice (6.64±0.13), dramatic reduction in MTB replication was observed in the spleen (4.86±0.14) from BALB/c mice immunized with fusion proteins following a subsequent MTB H37Rv challenge, but the protection efficacy of mice immunized with Rv1009 domain was not as good as that of BCG vaccination group (3.81±0.16). Conclusion Rv1009 domain can be used as a candidate for the new TB vaccine.

Aim To test the skin healing and repairing efficacy and the mechanism of Hibiscus rosa-sinensis L bud extract by using the animal models. Methods KM mice were randomly divided into three groups:the model group, the positive control group, and the n-bu-tyl alcohol extract ( HrBN) group. Using the boils and carbuncles model, the healing condition of all the animals were observed. KM mice were kept in the SPF condition room and divided into five groups: the model group, the positive control group, and the low, middle, high dose groups. Using the full-thickness loss model, the repairing results of all the mice were ob-served. Through the antimicrobial test, the results of MIC and inhibition zone were obtained. The carbon clearance test was used to collect the blood at the time 5min and 15min, and get the liver and spleen, and the results of K andαwere obtained. Results In vivo ex-periments showed there was significant difference be-tween groups;the HrBN extract had the outstanding ef-ficacy in healing and repairing skin boils and full-thickness loss models. It had higher recovery rate than other ethanol extract, such as ethyl acetate extract and chloroform extract. In vitro experiments showed that the HrBN extract, ethyl acetate extract ( HrBE) ,AB-8 macroporous resin 30% alcohol part and 60% alcohol part had obvious antimicrobial efficacy. The carbon clearance test showed HrBN had a good effect in im-proving immune function, and it can increase the K and α. Conclusion HrBN in animal models exerts good skin healing and repairing efficacy, which might be related to its antibacterial activity and immunologic enhancement function.

Objective To detect the impact of reactive oxygen species ( ROS) on mitochondrial morphology and distri-bution during mitosis.Methods A viral vector in which the fluorescence gene was specifically under the control of mito-chondrial promoter was constructed and confirmed through DNA sequencing and Western blotting.After transfecting HeLa s3 cell with packaged virus, the HeLa s3-COX4tp-EGFP cell line stably expressing the mitochondrial fluorescence signal was obtained.With immunofluorescent staining, the impact of ROS on the morphology and distribution of mitochondria dur-ing mitosis was inspected.Result The cell line constantly expressing mitochondrial fluorescence signals was successfully constructed.Meanwhile,it was found that H2 O2 treatment could significantly change the morphology and distribution of mi-tochondria during mitosis by confocal microscopy.Conclusion Our study demonstrates that ROS can affect the morphology and distribution of mitochondria during mitosis.This research help study the relationship between the mitochondrial function and the regulation of mitosis in the future.

OBJECTIVETo detect the expressions of human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her-2), epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR), presenilin 2 (PS-2) and estrogen receptor (ER) in breast cancer and discuss their clinical implications.

METHODSThe expressions of Her-2, EGFR, PS-2 and ER were measured immunohistochemically in 108 patients with breast cancer.

RESULTSThe positive expression rates of Her-2, EGFR, PS-2 and ER were 37.0%, 40.7%, 57.4% and 53.7% respectively in the breast cancer patients. The expression of Her-2 was not correlated with EGFR, but inversely correlated with PS-2 and ER. The expressions of Her-2 and EGFR, PS-2, ER were correlated with the histological grades (P<0.05), and Her-2, EGFR and ER expressions with lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). The expressions of Her-2, EGFR, PS-2 and ER did not correlate to the pathological types, patient's age and tumor size (P>0.05).

CONCLUSIONExpressions of Her-2 and EGFR often suggests an unfavorable prognosis while expressions of PS-2 and ER suggest a more favorable one. Expressions of Her-2, EGFR, PS-2 and ER are useful prognostic factors in breast cancer patients.
