A research combined trickling filter system and active sludge aeration system was applied in the treatment of industrial wastewater from gas-generating with heavy oil. The wastewater contained both high contents of NH+4-N and mixed hydrocarbons including various PAHs. Its BOD5/COD ratio was less than 0.3 and belongs to recalcitrant, toxic wastewater. The results showed a touch-growth biofilms system was formed on the porous packing material and it played a key role in the decrease of toxicity of the influent. It could also improve the biodegradability of the wastewater.

Objective To investigate the effect of different time of hypoxia reoxygenation (HR) on cell autophagy and cell viability.Methods According to the different reoxygenation time,H9C2 cells were divided into five groups:normal control group (group A),hypoxia group (group B),reoxygen 2h group (group C),reoxygen 12h group (group D) and reoxygen 24h group (group E).The expression of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ in each groups was detected by Western Blot,and the activity of myocardial cells was detected by MlT.Results MlT results showed that the viability of the myocardial cells after hypoxia 2h/reoxygenation 2h was significantly lower than that in the normal control group (P＜0.05).The ratio ofLC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ of the cells in group B (hypoxia group),group C (reoxygen 2h group),group D (reoxygen 12h group),group E (reoxygen 24h group) was significantly higher than that of group A (normal control group) (P＜0.05).Among them,the ratio of LC3 Ⅱ/LC3 Ⅰ of the cells in group C and D were significantly higher than that of group B (P＜0.05),paticlularly the group D was the highest (P＜0.05).The activity of myocardial cells in group D was the lowest among all groups.Conclusion Culturing in the three gas incubator can obviously decrease the viability of H9C2cells.Hypoxia can activate autophagy,and autophagy increases significantly after reoxygenation.Autophagy may be activated most obviously at 12 hours and decrease to the level of hypoxia group at 24 hours.Cells can be damaged by hypoxia,and further increase of cellular damage may occur after oxygen inhalation.At 12 hours,the cell viability is the lowest,and the cell viability may be improved at 24h.

AIM:To study the effects of neurological improvement and remyelination after intracranial hemorrhage(ICH)in rats by a novel therapeutic strategy with hepatocyte growth factor(HGF)gene transfected human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells(hUCMSCs)by lentiviral vector.METHODS:ICH was induced in 60 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats by a stereotactically guided injection of bacterial type IV collagenase into the right internal capsule.Non-modified hUCMSCs,HGF-modified hUCMSCs with lentiviral vector or PBS were administered left intraventricularly 7 d after right internal capsule ICH.All rats underwent modified neurological severity scores for 35 d.Luxol fast blue staining,immunohistological staining and Western blotting assessments for myelin basic protein(MBP)were applied.RESULTS:The ICH rats receiving HGF-modified hUCMSCs demonstrated significant functional recovery,determined by modified neurological severity scores,compared to the other groups from 2 weeks after cell therapy.As indicated by Luxol fast blue staining,the percent area of demyelination was obviously reduced in the HGF-hUCMSC treatment group compared to the PBS control group and hUCMSC-only treatment group at 5 weeks after ICH.The expression of MBP detected by immunohistological staining and Western blotting was significantly higher in HGF-hUCMSCs treated brain than that in other groups(P

Objective To approach the correlation of the left ventricular function in elderly patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) at low-risk factor. Methods Forty-five elderly patients hospitalized for AMI were registered, including 20 patients who were underwent emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) after the onset of AMI and 25 patients who received conservative non-invasive therapies. These 45 cases all received echocardiography(ECHO) examination in the 4th and 24th week after acute myocardial infarction. Results In the PCI group, end-diastolic volume index (EDVI) and end-systolic volume index (ESVI) had significant difference (P0.05) after therapy; WMSI was higher than PCI group (P

This study observed the protective effect of hypercapnic acidosis preconditioning on rabbit heart suffered from ischemia-reperfusion injury. Hypercapnic acidosis was established in animals with mechanical hypoventilation before ischemia-reperfusion. Thirty-two rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups, with each having 8 animals in term of the degree of acidification: hypercapnic acidosis group A (group A), hypercapnic acidosis group B (group B), hypercapnic acidosis group C (group C), ischemia and reperfusion group (group IR). Animals in group IR were ventilated normally (tidal volume: 15 mL/kg, breathing rate 35 bpm). The PETCO(2) was maintained at the level of 40-50 mmHg for 30 min. Animals in groups A, B, C received low-frequency, low-volume ventilation to achieve hypercarbonic acidosis and the target levels of PETCO(2) were 75-85,65-75, 55-65 mmHg, respectively, with levels being maintained for 5 min. The animals then were ventilated normally to lower PETCO(2) to 40-50 mmHg. The left anterior branch artery of all the animals was ligated for 30 min and reperfused for 180 min. Then the infarct size was calculated. The cardiomyocytes were morphologically observed and ECG and hemodynamics were monitored on continuous basis. Acid-base balance was measured during procedure. Our results showed that the infarct size was (48.5+/-11.5)% of the risk area in the control group and (42.4+/-7.9)% in group C (P>0.05). Mean infarct size was significantly smaller in group B (34.5%+/-9.4%) (P<0.05 vs control group) and group A (31.0%+/-9.1%) (P<0.01 vs control group). It is concluded that HA-preconditioning can effectively protect the myocardium.

Objective To explore a method for isolation and culture of human epidermal stem cells. Methods Epidermis was obtained by digesting human foreskin with Dispase Ⅱ and Trypsin-EDTA.After suspension on the epidermal stem cell medium (ESCM), these single epidermis cells were inoculated onto human collagen Ⅳ-coated flasks and cultured at 37 ℃ in a humidified atmosphere containing 5% CO_2 for 10 min. The nonadherent cells were rinsed off 10 min after inoculation, and the adherent cells continued to be cultured after enriching and abstraction by type Ⅳ collagen. The cell growth was observed through inverted microscope, and the cell cloning efficiency and time of clone sustain were also detected. Immunocytochemistry was used to observe the expression of ?_1-integrin and keratin 19(K19). Keratinocytes were served as controls. Results It was revealed by histological observation that colonies were formed 24 hours after inoculation. The isolated and cultured cell cloning efficiency was higher and the time of clone sustain was longer than that of the control group. Positive expression of ?_1-integrin and K19 of cultured cells was detected by immunocytochemistry. Conclusion Adult epidermal stem cells could be successfully isolated and cultured by adhension with type Ⅳ collagen and culture with ESCM.

Alemtuzumab (Campath) was successfully injected in 21 kidney transplant patients,7 islet transplant patients and 1 simultaneous kidney and islet transplant patient for either prevention or treatment of graft rejection.Prophylactic administration was successfully completed in all patients without discontinuation.Adverse events were not observed in 11 patients (38%),but hypertension in 18 patients (62%),shivering in 3 patients (10.3%),high fever in 3 patients (10.3%),and bronchospasm in 1 patient (3%),respectively.All complications alleviated after proper therapy.During the prophylactic administration of alemtuzumab,strict,timely and proper ward-management was needed.Care for lung,perineum,skin,diet and psychological nursing were necessary.Neither graft acute rejection nor graft chronic rejection episode occurred in all patients during 6 months to 2 years follow-up.Therefore,long term effects of Alamtuzumab and consequences of lymphocytopenia need further observation.
