Chinese Journal of Tissue Engineering Research 2009;13(27):5341-5344
After acute myocardial infarction, how realizes revasculadzation of the infarct area as well as prolongs the postponement left ventricle reconstruction and restores heart normal contraction function has been the hot spot. The research demonstrated that the transplanted stem cells may be in field planting of the heart infarct region, simultaneously through nutrition effects of secreting vascular endothelial cells and differentiation into myocardial cells, vascular endothelial calls, and can improve ventricle reconstitution and recovery cardiac function. However, stem call effects on myocardial infarction have close correlation to stem call tissue source. Various preconditioning also can affect repair of stem cells. Meanwhile, choice of suitable stem cell donors and recipients, correction of transplanted window and pathway are key factors for obtaining good clinical curative effects.

Objective To evaluate the relationships of the expression of orexin A in hypothalamus with hyperleptinemia, hyperinsulinism, and hyperlipidemia in alimentary obesity rats.Methods The alimentary obesity rat model was induced by high-fat diet in Wistar rats. The levels of leptin, insulin, C-peptide, total cholesterol (TC) and triglyeride (TG) were detected by luminescent immunoassay and biochemistry enzymic method. The gene expression of orexin A in rat hypothalamus was detected by real-time PCR. The correlation between orexin A and leptin was analyzed. Results After 8 weeks of high-fat diet feeding, the body weight, Lee's index, blood glucose, TG and TC significantly increased in obesity rat group (P<0. 01). The levels of serum leptin, insulin and C-peptide were significantly higher in obesity rats than in controls [( 1.74±0. 36)μg/Lvs. (1.27±0.11) μg/L, (35±5) MIU/L vs. (23±4) MIU/L, (0.21±0.04) μg/L vs.(0. 14±0. 03) μg/L respectively, P<0.01]. However, the level of orexin A mRNA was lower in obesity rats than in controls (6.8±2.3 vs. 14.5±3.6, t=-8.06, P<0.01). The correlation coefficient (r) of orexin A mRNA with serum leptin, insulin, and C-peptide in alimentary obesity rat were -0. 726 (P<0.01), -0. 506 (P<0.01) and -0. 664 (P<0.01), respectively. Conclusions High-fat diet can induce leptin-resistance and alimentary obesity in Wistar rat. The down-regulation of orexin A in rat hypothalamus would be correlated closely to the leptin and insulin resistance in alimentary obesity.

[Summary] The neuropeptides orexin A and orexin B are involved in numerous central regulation processes such as energy homeostasis,sleeping behaviour,and neuroendocrine activities.Orexin receptors are expressed in a variety of tissues besides the brain,adrenal gland for example.The article reviews the effect of orexin on adrenal gland function.

OBJECTIVETo examine the therapeutic effect of combined use of obidoxime and atropine with artificial ventilation on respiratory muscle paralysis caused by omethoate poisoning in rats.
METHODSRats were exposed to 2 times the dose of LD50 omethoate and treated with atropine (10 mg/kg) to counteract cholinergic symptoms. When the rats' respiratory frequency became slower and breathed with difficulty, the trachea intubation and artificial ventilation was carried out. The rats in group A were continuously treated with atropine. The dose of obidoxime for Group B, C and D were 8, 15, 20 mg/kg respectively, given at the same time as artificial ventilation and 1, 2, 3 hours later. The doses of atropine was reduced to 1/3 - 2/3 of the first dose so as to maintain the rats atropinized. If the rat survival was beyond 60 minutes after withdrawal of artificial ventilation, the combined treatment was considered successful. The function of isolated phrenic diaphragm of the rats was observed with MS-302 physiological and pharmacological analysis instrument.
RESULTSNone of the rats in Group A was successful after withdrawal from artificial ventilation and the function of phrenic diaphragm appeared poor; whereas > 80% of the rats in B, C, D Group were successful after withdrawal from artificial ventilation in 3 h and the function of phrenic diaphragm remained well. The survival rate in B, C and D groups were higher after withdrawal from artificial ventilation than that in Group A(P < 0.01). The function of phrenic diaphragm in Group B, C and D were gradually decreased after ACh was added into the container.
CONCLUSIONSCombined use of suitable dose of obidoxime and atropine with artificial ventilation for respiratory muscle paralysis caused by omethoate poisoning could promote the recovery of diaphragm function and reduce the death rate in poisoned rats.

Objective To measure the gap of community health staffing and establish new norms for community health facilities by means of the WHO Workload indicator of staffing need (WISN) method,for reference of the government in evaluation and decision making of community health staffing. Methods With Xicheng District of Beijing as an example,we collected data on community health staffing and calculated the total demand,measuring the total demand and supply,and gap or surplus in the staffing.Results in 2013,the demand of community health staffing was about 1 7.18 million standard equivalents in Xicheng,while the supply was 10.5 12 million.The WISN ratio was 0.67 for community health supply and demand,in which the ratio of physicians was close to 1,while that of nurses and public health workers was far below 1.850 extra community health staff was needed to reach the total of 2 602 persons.Conclusion The demand and supply of community health service in Xicheng District was seriously unbalanced,a huge gap featuring overstaffing of nurses and inadequate public health workers.This results from the enhancement of primary public health services and rising utilization of community healthcare services in recent years,which deserves high attention from government of all levels,by increasing the staffing of community health staffing standards.

Biological desulfurization is a process in which sulfur compounds are removed from gas and oil using microorganisms. It is a simple process that has mild operating conditions, high desulfurization efficiency, low energy consumption and less environmental pollution. However, there is still a lack of simple and efficient analytical methods for quantitatively analyzing the sulfur compounds in the biological desulfurization process. In order to solve this problem, the analytical method for the simultaneous determination of sulfite, thiosulfate and sulfide in biological desulfurization solutions by pre-column fluorescence derivation using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was developed. The standard curves of sulfur species in this analytical method had good linear relationships with correlation coefficients of 0.999 5, 0.999 7, and 0.999 7 for sulfite, thiosulfate and sulfide, respectively. The detection limits of these sulfur compounds were 0.000 6, 0.000 7 and 0.001 1 μmol/L; the range of recovery rates were 98.17 to 101.9%, 100.9 to 102.6%, and 101.1 to 104.2%; which had good repeatability and stability. The analytical method was simple, efficient and accurate, and could be used to simultaneously determine the sulfur compounds in different biological desulfurization systems.
