Objective To explore the effect of perforin(PFP) antibody on the expression of Granzyme B (GzmB) in viral myocarditis.Methods Forty-five 4-week-old BALB/c male mice were randomly divided into 3 groups,including normal control group (n=15),viral control group (n=15) and PFP antibody therapy group (n=15).The mice in normal control group were inoculated with 0.15 mL Eagle reagent,and the mice in viral control group and PFP antibody therapy group were moculated with 0.15 mL TCID501012 L-1 coxsackievirus B3.The mice in PFP antibody therapy group were inoculated with PFP antibody (0.1 mg/kg) on 6 h and 3 d post inoculation.The mice in 3 groups were sacrificed on day 10 post inoculation.Extracted their hearts,then fixed,dehydrated,embeded and sliced the myocardial tissues.The expressions of GzmB proteins in myocardium were determined by immunohistochemistry.The areas of GzmB were measured by the Leica Qwin V3 system.SPSS 11.5 software was used to analyze the data.Results There were 4 mouse dead in viral control group,and 2 mouse dead in PFP autibody therapy group,no mice dead in normal contol group.The expressions of GzmB were not found in myocardial tissues of normal control group,but there were lots of expressions of GzmB in myocardial tissues of viral control group[(67.13?1.82)%].Athough the expressions of GzmB in PFP antibody therapy group[(6.98?1.34)%] were significantly decreased compared with those in myocardial tissues of viral control group(q=66.180 P

Objective: To investigate the neuroprotective effects of paeoniflorin (PF) against cell death induced by hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) in human neuroblastoma cells and its mechanisms. Methods: H2O2 was used to induce SH-SY5Y cell damages, and the cell survival rate was detected by CCK-8 assay; the cell morphologic changes were observed by inverted optical microscope; the apoptosis was tested using Hoechst 33258 staining; flow cytometer (FCM) and propidium iodide staining were used to analyze the apoptosis and cell cycle alteration; reactive oxygen species (ROS) production was determined by 2', 7'-dichlorodihydrofluorescein diacetate (DCFH-DA) fluorescence; lactic dehydrogenase (LDH) release was detected by reaction of diaphorase and INT; 8-OHdG production was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA); caspase-3 activity was determined by caspase-3 catalyzing the specific substrate. Results: Compared with control group, after the treatment with H2O2 (200 μmol/L) for 24 h, the viability and proliferation index of CH-SY5Y cells were significantly decreased (P < 0.01, 0.05), the apoptosis rate and content of 8-OHdG were increased (P < 0.01), the LDH resease and ROS production were increased (P < 0.01); the activity of caspase 3 was increased (P < 0.01). Compared with H2O2 injury group, PF (20-40 μmol/L) significantly ameliorated the changes in SH-SY5Y cells induced by H2O2 in concentration-related manner (P < 0.05). PF (10 μmol/L) did not significantly change the above indexes except the cell viability, ROS, and caspase-3 activity induced by H2O2 (P < 0.05). Conclusion: PF has the significant protective effect against the H2O2-induced cell injury, which may be related to eliminatinging ROS, alleviating DNA oxidative damage, regulation of cell cycle, and inhibition of apoptosis of caspase pathway activation.

Solid state fermentation involves the growth of microorganisms on moist solid substrates in the absence of free flowing water. It has gained considerable attention of late years due to its several advantages over submerged fermentation. This paper mainly introduces the characteristics and mathematical models of solid state fermentation and summarizes the development situation of various bioreactors, the design standards and applications.

PBL is a modern model of classroom teaching. We have introduced it into the teaching of Microbiology. As a result, the students’ learning abilities have been raised to a higher level, and their learning autonomy and achievement have been improved. The combination of PBL method with traditional teaching methods achieved a good effect.

AIM: To evaluate the effects of glycemic control on refraction in diabetic patients. METHODS: Twenty newly diagnosed diabetic patients were included in this study. The random blood glucose, HbA1c levels, fasting C-peptide and postprandial 2h C-peptide were measured before treatment. The patients with random blood glucose higher than 12.0mmol/L and HbA1c level higher than 10.0% were selected. Refraction, intraocular pressure, radius of the anterior corneal curvature, depth of the anterior chamber, lens thickness, vitreous length, and axial length were measured on admission and at the end of week 1, 2, 3 and 4 during glycemic control.RESULTS: A transient hyperopic change occurred in all the patients receiving glycemic control. The maximum hyperopic change was 1.60D (range 0.50±3.20D). Recovery of the previous refraction occurred between two and four weeks after insulin treatment. There was a positive correlation between the maximum hyperopic changes and the HbA1c levels on admission (r=0.84, P<0.05). There was a positive correlation between the maximum hyperopic changes and the daily rate of blood glucose reduction over the first 7 days of the treatment (r=0.53, P<0.05). During transient hyperopia, no significant changes were observed in the intraocular pressure, radius of the anterior corneal curvature, depth of the anterior chamber, lens thickness, vitreous length and axial length.CONCLUSION: Transient hyperopic changes occur after glycemic control in diabetic patients with severe hyperglycemia. The degrees of transient hyperopia are highly dependent on HbA1c levels before treatment and the rate of reduction of the blood glucose level.

Objective To observe the expression of anti-cardiac myosin antibody(AMA) and the collagen volume fraction(CVF) in serum in mice with chronic viral myocarditis(CVMC),and to explore the preventive and protective function of oxymatrine on myocardium.Methods BALB/c mice(n=60) were infected with coxsackievirus B3(CVB3) of increased dose biweekly to establish CVMC model.Mice in normal control group(n=8) received equal-volume 9 g?L-1 saline without CVB3 at the same time.The surviving mice in CVMC model group were randomly divided into CVMC control group(n=8) and oxymatrine therapy group(n=8) at the 42th day.From then on,mice in oxymatrine therapy group were treated with oxymatrine at the dose of 100 mg?kg-1?d-1 by gastric perfusion once a day for 28 days,and meanwhile mice in CVMC control group and the normal control group received equal-volume 9 g?L-1 saline by gastric perfusion every day.Then all mice were sacrificed at the end of the experiment.The ratio between heart weight to body weight(HW/BW) was calculated.Myocardium slides were stained with collagen specific Picric acid-Sirius red staining,and the CVF was calculated with image analysis software.The serum level of AMA(optical density value,A value) was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results HW/BW(0.007 9?0.000 3),CVF [(15.30?1.08)%] and the A value of AMA(0.286?0.053) in mice of CVMC control group were increased significantly compared with those in normal control group HW/BW(0.005 5?0.000 2),CVF[(6.84?1.11)%],the A value of AMA(0.160?0.050)(Pa

Objective To observe the antihypertensive effect of indapamide combined with enalapril on spontaneously hypertensive rats(SHRs).Methods Forty SHRs were randomly divided into 4 groups: control,indapamide,enalapril,and indapamide+enalapril(n=10 in each group).Medicine in varied doses was given to rats by intragastric administration.Variations of weight,heart rate and blood pressure were measured. Results Varied doses of medicine did not exert significant effects to the weight and heart rate of SHRs during and after the administration.In indapamide+enalapril group,the pressure of SHRs was significantly decreased with varied doses compared to that before the administration(P
