Objective To observe the influence of environment stimulation on learning and memory ability and hippocampal pathology of neonatal rats with hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD).Methods The models of HIBD SD rats were established by the method of Rice, and were divided randomly into three groups: enriched environment stimulation group (EE), impoverished environment stimulation group (IE), and standard environment stimulation group (SE). The sham-operation rats were served as control group. Different environment stimulation was administrated to the rats since day 1 after HIBD.On the day 28,Morris water maze was used to evaluate the learning and memory ability. HE staining and nissl stain were employed to observe the pathological change and the number of neurons in hippocampus of rats.Results The learning and memory ability of EE group was significantly higher than that of SE group (P0.05), and the ability of SE group was higher than that of IE group ( P0.05). The number of SE group was lower than that of Sham group (P

The promoter and signal peptide sequence of sacB gene (sacR gene) has been amplified by PCR.An inducible expression and secretion vector pHP13SN has been constructed with this amplified sequence,which was ligated with the pro-peptide and mature peptide of neutral protease gene on the vector pHP13.Transforming Bacillus subtilis DB104 with the vector pHP13SN, and the recombinant strain DB104(pHP13SN) can be got.The neutral protease gene has been expressed by the inducement of sucrose and the regulation of sacR,and the production has been secreted with bioactivity.

Bacillus subtilis ZC-7 was obtained by implantation with N+ ions beam to B.subtilis AS1.398,and compared with the AS1.398 neutral protease,the enzyme activity of ZC-7 neutral protease was about 1 timeshigher in previous research.A neutral protease was purified from the culture of B.Subtilis ZC-7 by the procedures including amoninium sulfate precipitation,ultrafiltration,DEAE-Sepharose Fast Flow chromatography and Sephadex G-75 chromatography.By multi-step purification,the ZC-7 neutral protease was purified to 78.5 folds and its yield was 27.7%,at last,the specific activity of ZC-7 neutral protease was up to 4.1?105U/mg.Analysed by SDS-PAGE,the purified protease has shown a molecular mass of about 42kDa.The Km for casein hydrolysis was 3.67?10-3?g/ml and the Vmax was 12.21?g/min.The optimum pH and temperature forhydrolysis of casein were 7.0 and 55℃,respectively.This protease was stable up to 40℃ within the pH range of 6.5 and 8.0.EDTA,isopropanol and alcohol nearly inhibited its activity while some ions such as Ca2+,Mg2+,Fe3+ can improve its activity.In addition,it could resist 1 mol/L H2O2.

Objective:To explore the clinical application of NanoString fluorescent barcode technology in the molecular subtyping of diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL), and to analyze the correlation between the cell-of-origin subtype and prognosis of patients.Methods:The tumor tissue samples of 12 patients with DLBCL at the Third People's Hospital of Datong of Shanxi Province and 8 patients with DLBCL at Peking University, Health Science Center between January 2014 and December 2019 were collected. According to Hans algorithm, all patients were divided into 1 case of germinal center-derived B-cell (GCB) type and 19 cases of non-GCB type. NanoString platform was used to analyze the expression level differences of 15 genes-related to Lymph2Cx molecular subtyping of all samples at mRNA level. Hierarchical clustering was used to subgroup 20 DLBCL cases and to contrast the prognosis in different subgroups according to the subtyping.Results:NanoString fluorescent barcode technology was used to detect samples of 20 DLBCL cases and hierarchical clustering analysis was performed, and then subtyping results showed that 11 cases were GCB-like type and 9 cases were activated B cell (ABC)-like type. Based on Hans algorithm, 10 GCB-like cases were non-GCB type. According to the survival analysis, GCB-like group had a better overall survival compared with that in ABC-like group ( P=0.019). Conclusion:NanoString fluorescent barcode technology can be successfully applied to the cell-of-origin subtyping of DLBCL, and the molecular subtyping strategy can effectively predict the prognosis of patients.

Pseudomonas aeruginosa (PA) pneumonia is a refractory,even lethal complication in immunosuppressive individuals and immune disturbances may promote the pathological process.We aimed to investigate the regulatory T (Treg) cell activity in an immunosuppressive mice model of PA pneumonia by estimating levels of main transcription factor and the main effector of Treg cells,i.e.,Forkhead box protein 3 (FOXP3) and interleukine-10 (IL-10).Seventy-two BALB/c mice were divided into four groups randomly:control (A),PA pneumonia (B),immunosuppression (C) and immunosuppression with PA pneumonia (D).Mice were sacrificed at 4,8 and 24 h after establishing experimental models.The pathological changes of lung tissue were graded,and the FOXP3 mRNA and serum IL-10 levels were detected.Histological analysis of lung tissues showed there were no significantly pathological changes in groups A and C,but significantly pathological changes were found in groups B and D,especially in group D at 8 h (P＜0.05).The expression levels of FOXP3 mRNA in groups A and C showed no significant changes at the three time points,which were significantly lower than those in groups B and D (P＜0.05).FOXP3 mRNA levels were lowest at 4 h,and there was significant difference between groups B and D (P＜0.05).The serum levels of IL-10 in groups A and C were almost normal at the three time points,but decreased significantly in groups B and D (P＜0.05).The serum levels ofIL-10 decreased to the lowest at 8 h,especially in group D (P＜0.05).The results indicate that PA pneumonia in immunosuppressive individuals worsens rapidly,which may be associated with Treg cells function disturbance.And Treg cells may be promising as adjuvant therapeutics for PA pneumonia in immunosuppressive individuals.

OBJECTIVETo investigate clinical efficacy and feasibility of double-plating fixation via anteriormiddle approach in treating type C3 distal femoral fractures.

METHODSFrom August 2008 to August 2011, 12 cases with type C3 distal femoral fractures were treated, including 5 open fractures and 7 closed fractures. Among them, there were 8 males, 4 females with an average of 40 years (ranged, 25 to 55 years). There were 7 in left side, 5 in right side. Nine cases were caused by car accident, 3 cases by falling down. The duration from injury to hospital was form 20 minutes to 5 days (mean 135 min). After tibia bone traction for 5 to 8 days, the operation were performed by double-plating fixation via anteriormiddle approach, and autograft of iliac bone or allograft bone grafting were given to bone defect. Knee joint function was evaluated according to Merchanetal criteria.

RESULTSThe operation time was from 110 to 160 min, with an average of 135 min, the blood loss was from 300 ml to 500 ml,with an average of 400 ml. Post-operative wound were stage I healing. All patients were followed up from 16 to 36 months (mean 24 months). No infection, reduction loss, nonunion, deep vein thrombosis occurred. Bone healing time was for 18 to 24 weeks with an average of 21 weeks. According to the Merchanetal criteria, 4 cases got excellent results, 6 good, 1 fair and 1 poor.

CONCLUSIONDouble-plating fixation via anteriormiddle approach for type C3 distal femoral fractures is an effective way, which has advantages of obvious exposure, simple manipulation, anatomical reduction, stable fixation. However,operation indications and operating instructions should be strictly followed.

Objective To asess the primary percutaneous coronary intervention(PPCI) strategies of culprit vessel with two lesions in ST-segment elevation myocardial infarction(STEMI) patients and their prognosis.Methods The study retrospectively reviewed 418 patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI in the General Hospital of Shenyang Military Region from January 1st to June 30th in 2015 and 75 patients were included. According to whether the non-infarct-related lesions(N-IRL) being treated or not,the patients were identified as both IRL and N-IRL being treated(the research group,n=33) or the culprit lesion(or infarct-related lesion,IRL) being treated only(control group,n=42). The endpoint was major adverse cardiocascular event(MACE) which was a composite of death from cardiac causes,nonfatal myocardial infarction,target vessel revascularization(TVR) and hospitalization with angina or heart failure.Results The study endpoint betwwen the two groups showed no statistical differences in MACE(P=0.446). Multivariate Cox regression analysis showed that age, diameter of N-IRL were predictive factors of MACE. When N-IRL located beyond the culprit lesion, the research group showed higher risk of MACE(P=0.022) and TVR(P=0.039).Conclusions The non-infarct-related lesions of patients with STEMI undergoing PPCI may be left for conventional medical treatment. It may be reasonable to choose drug therapy for distal N-IRL and to choose PCI for proximal N-IRL.

Type 1 diabetes (T1D) results from dysfunction of pancreatic islets β cells.Recent studies supported that endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress takes an important role in pancreatic β cell excessive loss,resulting in T1D.Here,we aimed to review the relationship between ER stress and T1D.Additionally,we also reviewed the potential mechanisms underlying ER stress mediated T1D.Studies have shown that severe ER stress is directly involved in the pancreatic β cells destruction and pathogenesis of T1D.ER stress plays a key part in pancreatic β cells and T1D,which will help in developing new effective therapeutics for T1D.
