Objective　To explore the effect of photon on blood biologic components in blood photochemical treatment. Methods　After the blood sample was adjusted to an appropriate density, it was treated with 0.1 nmol/ml 8-MOP (8-methoxypsoralen), 0.1 nmol/ml TFO (triple helix-forming oligonuletide) and UVA (ultraviolet A radiation) at the intensity of 1 800 μW/cm2 for 3～20 min. The changes of biologic activities of major components in blood were measured with automatic blood gas analyzer, platelet aggregation analyzer, blood coagulation analyzer, micropipette aspiration system and assay of poly-lysine adsorption. Results　The oxygen content in blood was increased gradually. The resilience of erythrocyte was enhanced ，but its adhesiveness was decreased. The parameters related to blood coagulation had some changes but all remained within the normal ranges. Conclusion　Under the definite condition of blood virus being inactivated effectively, the nonspecific effect of photosensitive response may improve blood oxygen content, enhance the transfiguring ability of erythrocyte and decrease the blood viscosity, but having no obvious change on blood coagulation.

Background and purpose:The Smac/DIABLO(the second mitochondrial derived activator of caspase/direct IAP binding protein with low pI)is a new kind of mitochondria protein,it inhibits IAPs(inhibitors of apoptosis protein),including Survivin,and activates caspase-9 and caspase-3,accordingly promotes apoptosis.In this study,we investigated the effect of over-expressing mitochondrial protein-Smac/DIABLO while silencing inhibitor of apoptosis protein-Survivin on the cell growth,cell cycle and apoptosis of human colon cancer cells through cotransfecting both genes.Methods:Constructed survivin-shRNA-EGFP plasmid was transected with Smac-pcDNA3.1 plasmid into Lovo cells at either half each dose or total dose,respectively.Western blot was used to survey the protein level of Smac and Survivin;Hoechst 33258 staining was used to detect the karyomorphological diversity of apoptotic cells and evaluate apoptotic ratio roughly;PI staining and flow cytometry analysis were used to examine cell cycle;caspase-3 Detection Kits was used to detect the activity of caspase-3.Results:The expression of Smac protein increased but Survivin protein decreased 48 hr after transfection.Karyomorphological diversify of apoptotic cells were obviously observed by hoechst 33258 staining.The apoptosis rate in Smav+Survivin shRNA group was(18.5?1.7)%,which was higher than that in Smac group(9.6?1.8)% and Survivin shRNA group(15.0?0.3)%,and all of three groups were significantly higher than the control groups;The cells of G0/G1 phase increased to(51.0?6.2)% in Smac group,and the cells of S stage increased to(53.3?1.3)% in Survivin shRNA group(P

BACKGROUND: Bone exposed wounds are frequently required to deal with in orthopaedic surgeries, involving the treatment of open fractures, bone tumors, osteomyelitis, and many other diseases, in which the defect of soft tissue caused by open fractures is the most difficult to deal with. Conventional debridement or negative pressure closed drainage technology is difficult to make bone exposed wounds heal, and the process is extremely cumbersome, during which,patients suffer a lot of pain.OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of the various types of dressings, and review the application of new hydrogel dressing in bone exposed wounds based on its advantages, such as keeping wound environment moisture, restoring skin physical barrier, contributing to routine dressing change.METHODS: A computer-based online retrieval of PubMed and CNKI databases was performed to search papers published between 2000 and 2016 using the key words hydrogel dressing, bone exposed wound, traditional wound dressing, antibiotic in English and Chinese, respectively. A total of 55 papers suitable for final analysis from the application of traditional and new dressings in bone tissue engineering were reviewed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The treatment of bone exposed wounds involves the treatment of many diseases, such as open fractures, bone tumors, osteomyelitis, which is still an orthopedic problem to solve. The novel hydrogel dressings with unique advantages are able to provide better plans for bone exposed wounds, and the use of these dressings solves the regeneration and repair of exposed bone, and improves the infection of antibiosis. In addition, the gel dressings currently have become a hot spot of research because of the characteristics of sustained-release.

Objective To provide guide for prevention and cure of peritonitis in peritoneal dialysis(PD) by comparing the causative organisms and clinical outcome of PD related peritonitis in younger and elderly patients in our center.Methods All patients who developed PD related peritonitis between January 2006 and December 2013 in Wuhan NO.1 hospital were included.According to their age,episodes were divided into younger patients group (＜ 65 years) and elderly patients group (≥65 years).The microbiology and clinical outcome of PD related peritonitis were compared,and the related risk factors of the treatment failure were analyzed.Results Three hundred and sixty-six episodes of peritonitis occurred in 258 patients during the study period.The overall rate of peritonitis was 1 episode in 76.8 patient-months.Elderly patients had higher incidence of peritonitis (1 episode every 56.4 months vs 1 episode every 88.7 months,P=0.001),higher incidence of fungus infection (9.6％ vs 3.9％,P=0.026) and higher mortality (46.2％ vs 14.0％,P=0.001) than that in younger patients.Cox regression analysis showed that longer duration of PD treatment and fungal peritonitis were both risk factors of the treatment failure.Conclusion Elderly patients had higher incidence of peritonitis,higher incidence of fungus infection and higher PD-related mortality than younger patients.

Sini decoction (SND), a classical traditional Chinese medicine emergency formula recorded in Shanghan Lun (Treatise on Febrile Diseases), which is composed of Aconiti Lateralis Preparata Radix, Glycyrrhizae Preparata Radix and Zingiberis Rhizoma. Modern clinical and pharmacological researches have shown that SND can protect the myocardium effectively during myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury (MI-RI). A myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury model of H9c2 cardiomyocytes in vitro has been established. Four groups, control group, MI-RI Model group, SND group and SND without Glycyrrhizae Radix group, were arranged. The livability, the level of LDH and CK activity in H9c2 cardiomyocytes in different groups were tested. By combining with principal components analysis (PCA), partial least squares discriminant analysis (PLS-DA), orthogonal partial least squares projection of latent structures-discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA), 17 biomarkers in extracellular fluid were identified and 15 of them were related to the pathway of biological processes. The results showed that the attenuate and synergistic mechanism between Aconiti Lateralis Praeparata Radix and Glycyrrhizae Radix for toxicity reduction was related with the glycolysis, lipid metabolism, citrate cycle and nitrogen metabolism of amino acids metabolism. The study proved the effect on H9c2 cardiomyocyte treated by MI-RI injury both SND group and SND without Glycyrrhizae Radix group, and compared with the SND without Glycyrrhizae Radix, the protective effect of myocardial ischemia reperfusion injury model of H9c2 cardiomyocyte from SND was stronger.

OBJECTIVETo explore the expansion method of high purity NK cells from human peripheral blood and explore the changes in biological functions of NK cells after ex vivo expansion.

METHODSNK cells were isolated from peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) by using miniMACS (Magnetic cell-selection) and NK Cell Isolation Kit II, and cultured in SCEM (Stemline Hematopoietic Stem Cell Expansion Medium, Sigma) supplemented with 10% human AB serum and different combinations of interleukin (IL)-2 and/or IL-12, IL-15 for 15 days. Cultures were semi-exchanged with fresh media and cytokines every 3 days. Evaluation for cell expansion, phenotype, perforin and granzyme B mRNA expressions, and IFN-gamma secretion before and after the culture period.

RESULTSCD3(-) CD56(+) cells concentration increased from (11.2 +/- 5.2)% to (94.2 +/- 3.5)%. In group IL-2 + IL-15 and IL-2 + IL-15 + IL-12 group, cells were expanded 50.5 +/- 4.3 and 52.3 +/- 6.7 - fold, respectively, being significantly higher than that in other three groups [(15.4 +/- 1.1 fold in IL-2 group, 19.9 +/- 3.9 fold in IL-2 + IL-12 group, 6.1 +/- 1.0 fold in control group)] (P<0.01), but no significant difference between each other (P>0.05). The purity of CD3(-) CD56(+) NK cells was over 94% in all groups except the control. The perforin and granzyme B mRNA expressions of expanded NK cells in four experimental groups were significantly higher than those of before expansion (P<0.01) and the expressions in IL-2 + IL-15 and in IL-2 + IL-12 + IL-15 group were significant higher than in other three groups (P<0.01) while no significant difference between each other (P>0.05). IFN-gamma levels in the supernatants of four experiment groups were significantly higher than that in control group (P<0.01) and its levels order was IL-2 + IL-15 + IL-12 group > IL-2 + IL-12 group > IL-2 + IL-15 group > IL-2 group (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONHigh purity NK cells isolated by negative selection using miniMACS can be efficiently expanded with IL-2 + IL-15, and their biological functions were enhanced.
