Objective To investigate the effects of electro-acupuncture (EA) on remyelination after sciatic nerve was transected in rats, so as to explore the possible mechanism of EA in treatment of peripheral nerve injury. Methods After transection of rat's sciatic nerve, the nerve regeneration chamber was built,then the rats were given EA stimulation at frequencies of 5 Hz and 100 Hz, respectively, and Solochrome Cyanine staining, HE staining of nerve fibers, immunohistochemical staining and semi-quantitative image analysis technique were employed to observe the remyelination of the nerve fibers and S-100 protein expression of Schwann cells. Results EA could significantly promote remyelination of the nerve fibers, elevate S-100 protein expression of Schwann Cells in repairing process of transected sciatic nerve of rats. The therapeutic effect of 5 Hz EA group was better than that of 100 Hz EA group. Conclusion EA is an effective way for the treatment of peripheral nerve injury. It can promote proliferation of Schwann cells and nerve fiber myelination. The therapeutic effects of EA are frequency-depondent.

Objective To explore the expression of drug transporter organic anion transporting polypeptide2(Oatp2) and P-glycoprotein(P-gp) in brains of chronic epileptic rats induced by lithium-pilocarpine.Methods Chronic epilepsy modles were elicited after status epilepticus(SE) induced by lithium-pilocarpine in adult Wistar rats.The expressions of Oatp2 and P-gp were detected by immuno-histochemistry(SABC) method.Results Positive expression of Oatp2 was predominantly in the plexus epithelial cells and(blood-brain) barrier endothelial cells.Weak staining for Oatp2 was also detected in the neurocyte.In contrast,apparent expression of(P-gp) was seen in brain capillary and neurocyte only.Compared with normal control rats,expression of Oatp2 on the plexus epithelial cells and brain capillary in chronic epileptic rats was significantly decreased(P

Objective To explore the effects of two air sampling methods including natural precipitation method and impacting method for detecting the bacterial count of indoor air of workplace of cosmetic plants. Methods The diameters of 44 glass bacteria-culture plates for those two sampling methods were measured. The indoor air of workplace of cosmetic plants were sampled by those two sampling methods simultaneously. The natural precipitation method was performed for 5- minute exposure ,the impacting method was performed by MAS-100 airborned bacteria sampler at flow rate of 100 L/min for 30 s,2 min,8 min respectively.All of the data on the bacterial counts of air obtained from various sampling ways were statistically analyzed.The measures for quality control of air sampling progress were put forward also. Results The diameters of 44 glass bacteria-culture plates were 8.39-8.70 cm,which were lower than the standard(9 cm?雪. The bacterial counts of air samples collected by natural precipitation method at the same location showed higher coefficient of variation,higher median,lower qualified rate compared with those by impacting method. The bacterial counts of air decreased,when the impacting sampling method was performed for 8 min continuously with sampling volume of 800 L. Conclusion The impacting method with advantages including mere influence from external environment and better precision could be primarily applied for air sampling in general condition,but it might show lower efficiency of collecting the airborne bacteria during the longer sampling period with higher sampling volume. The natural precipitation method with poor precision was suitable for longer term (8-30 min)air sampling in the relatively static environment with lower air flow and highly cleaned air. The bacterial counts of air obtained from natural precipitation method should be corrected if the diameters of glass bacteria-culture plates weren't meet the requirement of the national standard (9 cm?雪.

Objective To evaluate the rate and types of human papillomavirus (HPV) in vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia (VIN).Methods We detected HPV DNA in 67 lesion tissues collected from 40 VIN patients with PCR based reverse line blot hybridization and DNA sequencing. The PCR using GP5/GP6 primers in HPV L1 region resulted in a 150-bp fragment. When the PCR did not amplify the target DNA,another PCR using SPF1/SPF2 primers was performed to amplify the 65-bp fragment.Results HPV DNA amplified with primers GP5/GP6 was positive in 52.2% (35/67) of the lesions. Of the 32 negative lesions,26 (81.2%) were positive for HPV DNA amplified with SPF1/SPF2 primers. The total positive rate was 91.0% (61/67). Ninety percent of the HPV belonged to high risk types. Sequencing data showed that the genotypes of 31 mono-infection lesions were the same as those of the reverse line blot results,yet the sequences in 4 multi-infection samples could not be determined. Of the 26 SPF PCR products,24 could be sequenced. 80.6% (25/31) patients with multiple lesions displayed the same genotype,suggesting HPV in the different lesions from the same patient was monoclonal.Conclusion The high risk type of HPV is associated with vulvar intraepithelial neoplasia and may play an important role in the development of invasive vulvar carcinoma.

Objective To explore the relationship between the tiny enhanced foci in hematoma and hematoma expansion at the acute stage of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH).Methods CT routine and enhanced scan were applied in 36 ICH patients which onset ≤5 h,and CT examined again follow-up 1 or 2 d.The neurological function was evaluated by European Stroke Scale(ESS)at the 1st d and 21st d after onset.Results The tiny enhanced foci in hematoma were found in 11 csaes by the first CT scane.Follow up CT scane,the hematoma expansion was occurred in 10 cases,including 8 cases with tiny enhancing foci in hematoma.The incidence of hematoma expansion in ICH patients with tiny enhancing foci in hematoma(8 cases,72.7%) was significantly higher than in ICH patients without tiny enhancing foci in hematoma(2 cases,8.0%)(P
