[Objective] To study the effect of histone deacetylase inhibitor-Trichostatin A(TSA) on proliferation and differentiation of human osteogenic sarcoma cell. [Methods]Human osteogenic sarcoma cell line MG-63 was treated in vitro with various concentrations of TSA, a potent and specific histone deacetylase inhibitor. Proliferation suppression was observed by MTT method and inverted microcopy before and after TSA treatment, and the cell growth curve was obtained. The cell growth and invasion ability were measured with the colony-formation rate in soft agar test. Flow cytometry was used to investigate the cell cycle.[Results]TSA significantly inhibited the proliferation of the human osteogenic sarcoma cell in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner. The cell experienced benigh morphological differentiation. The colony-formation rate in semi-solid agar was significantly decreased(P

Objective:To investigate gut barrier dysfunction and bacterial translocation (BT) in patients who underwent digestive tract reconstruction and to study the relationship between BT and acute systemic inflammatory state (SIRS). Method： Sixty patients who underwent selective digestive tract reconstruction were observed. Blood were collected before surgery and 1, 3, 5 days after surgery to detect plasma diamine oxidase(DAO) and bacterial DNA. PCR analysis was performed with β-Galactosidase gene of Eschenchia coli and 16SrRNA gene as target gene. The SIRS of all the patients were observed for 10 days. Result：All the PCR results before operation were negative, while there was positive in 14 patients after digestive tract reconstruction. There were 23 patients with SIRS after surgery, and 12 patients PCR result were positive among 23 patients with SIRS. 85.7% of the patients(12/14) with positive PCR result had SIRS, while 23.9% patients (11/46) with negative PCR result had SIRS (P<0.01).The positive PCR rate in SIRS was 52.2% (12/23), which was remarkably higher than that without SIRS(5.4%, 2/37, P<0.01).The levels of plasma DAO in patients with positive PCR result was significantly higher than those of the patients with negative PCR result (P<0.01). The levels of plasma DAO in patients with SIRS was significantly higher than those of patients without SIRS (P<0.01). Conclusion:The gut barrier dysfunction was closely related to BT, and BT was closely related to postoperative SIRS. PCR analysis can be used in early diagnosis of BT, the positive PCR result might be a useful early warning sign of postoperative SIRS.

[Objective]To explore the effect of external fixator combined with vaccum sealing drainage(VSD) for the treatment of infection after internal fixation in tibial and fibular fracture.[Method]Thirty-six patients with infection after internal fixation in tibial and fibular fracture were treated by external fixator combined with VSD from June 2004 to June 2008.[Result]During the following-up period from 8-30 months in thirty-two patients,the infection in all cases were controlled effectively,no case of recurrence was found in all patients,and satisfactory healing were found in 32 cases.The average time of fracture union were 4.5 months;the removal time of external fixation were 5 months on average.[Conclusion]The combined operative procedure is simple,reliable and less traumatic and allow to early functional exercises.Therefore,it is a satisfactory measure for the infection after internal fixation in tibial and fibular fracture.

Polysaccharides with multiple biological activities are usually considered as one of the major bioactive compounds in Chinese medicines (CMs). At present, the development of drug and functional foods related to polysaccharides have attracted a great deal of attention due to their great potential effects and diverse action mechanisms. However, quality control of polysaccharides is the bottleneck and a challenge due to their complexity and chemical diversity. Actually, the bioactivities of polysaccharides are closely related to their molecular structures. In order to ensure their safety and efficacy, the development of novel approaches based on the molecular structures for the improvement of quality control of polysaccharides is significantly important. Therefore, in this article, the relationship between biological activities and chemical structures, as well as the action mechanisms of polysaccharides from CMs were summarized first. Furthermore, saccharide mapping, a novel strategy for quality control of bioactive polysaccharides from CMs, was introduced and the application and perspectives were also discussed.

Objective To explore the effect of enalapril combined with folate acid on endothelial function and urine microalbumin(UMA) in patients with hypertension.Methods 120 patients with hypertension were randomly divided into two groups:control group (n =60) was given enalapril 10.0mg/d,observation group (n =60) received enalapril 10.0mg + folic acid 0.4mg/d.The total treatment period was 8 weeks.Blood pressure,plasma homocysteine (Hcy),flow mediated dilation (FMD) and UMA were examined.Results The efficacy of pressure releasinghad no significant difference between two groups.Hcy[(10.2 ± 5.8) μmol/L vs (16.6 ±-8.1) μmol/L,t =3.641],FMD[(14.8 ±5.4)％ vs (8.2±3.5)％,t =7.325] and UMA[(14.8 ±5.4)mg/L vs (31.6 ±9.5)mg/L,t =8.221] of two groups were significantly different after treatment.Conclusion Combination therapy of enalapril and folate acid can decrease plasma Hey and UMA,restore vascular endothelium function in patients with hypertension.

BACKGROUND:The aquaporin (AQP), mainly AQP1, AQP4 and AQP9, are expressed in mammalian brain, while the others are sporadical y expressed. There is no evidence concerning the distribution, function and regulation mechanism of AQP in the brain.
OBJECTIVE:To comprehensively analyze the research progress of the distribution, function and regulation mechanism of AQP in maintaining normal physiological function of the brain.
METHODS:An online retrieval of PubMed database and CNKI database between January 1980 and July 2013 was performed for articles on the distribution, function and regulation mechanism of AQP, with the key words of“AQP1, AQP4, AQP9, function, brain, adjusting mechanism”in English and Chinese. A total of 163 papers were screened out and 85 of them met the inclusive criteria.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The existing studies about the expression, function and regulating mechanism of AQP1, AQP4 and AQP9 in the brain can be summarized as the fol owing three aspects: (1) AQP1 is expressed in the choroid plexus and participates in forming cerebrospinal fluid;in other types of cells, gas micromolecules CO 2 , NO, NH 3 and O 2 also cross through AQP1. (2) AQP4 is mainly expressed in the astrocytes, ependymal foot process and gelatin membranes, which can help the water in and out of the brain tissue, accelerate glial cellmigration and change neural activity. (3) AQP9 is mainly distributed in astrocytes and catecholamine neurons, the main function is involved in energy metabolism in the brain. Therefore, AQP is the key for water transport in the brain. Understanding the distribution, function and regulation mechanism of AQP wil play an important role in the treatment of brain diseases. The regulatory mechanism on the expression of AQPs in normal pathology and related disease remains unclear and related molecular signal pathway needs further exploration.

Objective To understand current status of occupational protection awareness and behavior among dif-ferent professional medical interns,and provide basis for strengthening the education about occupational protection among medical interns .Methods Questionnaire survey was used to survey medical interns at the end of their clini-cal internship.Results A total of 385 cases of occupational exposure occurred during internship period,occupation-al exposure rate was 42.31 % (385/910),occupational exposure mainly occurred in nursing interns (n =190).358 (39.34%)medical interns understood self-protective antibody (hepatitis B surface antibody);difference in occupa-tional exposure rates and awareness of self-protective antibody among different professional medical interns was sta-tistically significant (all P <0.05);222 (57.66%)medical interns sustained occupational exposure more than once, 45.45% of occupational exposure occurred during the process of diagnostic and therapeutic procedure,exposure mainly occurred in the wards (32.21 %).After occupational exposure,46.75% of medical interns felt nervous, 35.06% were worried,18.18% appeared serious psychological reaction,only 14.03% sought support and help from others.Conclusion Awareness of occupational protection among medical interns is insufficient,education and awareness of occupational protection should be intensified,psychological behavioral after occupational exposure should be paid attention among medical students.
