Objective The purpose of this study was to determine if recombinant ?-defensin-2 can prevent the lung from being injured by pseudomonas aeruginosa infection. Methods Ten male SD rats ( class SPF) weighing 250-300 g were randomly divided into 2 groups ( n = 5 each) : I defensin group and II control group. The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal thiopental 10 mg? kg-1 and intubated. 50 ? l of 5 ? 107 PFU? ml-1 adenovirus with or without ?-defensin-2 gene was instilled into the trachea via tracheal tube. 48 h later 200 ? l of 6? 108 CFU?ml-1 pseudomonas aeruginosa ATCC27853 was instilled into the trachea in both groups. All the rats were killed after 24 h and the lungs were removed for (1) histologic examination, (2) determination of ICAM-1 expression in the lung and (3) broncho-alveolar lavage. The number of WBC and pseudomonas aeruginosa in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF) was counted. Results The number of WBC and pseudomonas aeruginosa in BALF was significantly less in defensin group than in control group. The degree of instologic damage and the expression of ICAM-1 in lung tissue were significantly decreased in the defensin group as compared with control group. Conclusion Recombinant ?-defensin-2 can kill pseudomonas aeruginosa in vivo and modulate the expression of ICAM-1. It can protect the lung against injury induced by pseudomonas aeruginosa infection.

Objective To investigate the effect of muscle fatigue on linear and nonlinear dynamics of sEMG from biceps brachii during maximal voluntary isometric contractions.Method Ten young volunteers subjects performed non-fatiguing isometric contractions with four load levels and fatiguing maximal voluntary isometric contractions.Linear and nonlinear analysis were used to examine the sEMG signals and the changes of sEMG signals when MVC decreased to levels of 80% MVC,70% MVC,60%MVC and 50%MVC compared with the signals of sEMG during non-fatiguing contractions.Result Statistical analyses revealed that AEMG and %DET were significantly higher at fatigue states than those at non fatigue states,while MPF and C(n)were significantly lower than those at non fatigue states.With the development of muscle fatigue,MPF and %DET significantly decreased during maximal effort,while AEMG and %DET stayed stable.The interaction of load level and fatigue state for AEMG,MPF and C(n)were significant.Conclusion MPF and C(n)significantly decrease during maximal voluntary isometric contractions.sEMG dynamics between fatigue state and non-fatigue state is significantly different.

BACKGROUND: Researches show that erythropoietin (EPO) can stimulate the proliferation and protraction of endothelial progenitor cells to form new vessels, so EPO may play an important role in proliferation and differentiation of bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs). OBJECTIVE: To explore the effects of EPO on the proliferation and cell cycle of MSCs. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: From July to November 2007, the observation of comparative cell trial was performed at the Hematologic Diseases Institute of General Hospital Lanzhou Military Area Command of Chinese PLA. MATERIALS: Bone marrow liquid specimens were provided by voluntary donors. The informed consents were obtained from all patients, and the experiment was approved by Hospital Ethics Committee. METHODS: Using Percoll solution, MSCs were isolated from bone marrow by the method of density centrifugation. Flow cytometry was applied to detect the cell cycles of the second and third passages. MSCs were incubated with different doses of EPO (0.25, 0.50, 1.00, 2.00, 5.00 U/mL) in serum free culture media, and cells cultured with no EPO were regarded as control. All cells were cultured for 24, 48, and 72 hours. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ①Proliferation of MSCs was measured by MTT assays after 24, 48, and 72 hours; ②Cell cycle was measured by flow cytometry assays after incubated with 10 U/mL EPO for 72 hours. RESULTS: After MSCs was incubated with EPO, the cell proliferation index was significantly increased in a dose and time dependent manner. The effects on the proliferation of MSCs were highest in 5 U/mL group. Compared with the control group, EPO could significantly decrease G0 /G1 ratio, and increase S and G2/M stage ratio (P
