Chemical disinfectants are generally used for virus inactivation and environment disinfection in biosafety laboratory, and the efficacy and evaluation of the disinfection are critical to ensure the laboratory biosafety.However, there is a current lack of applied standard to evaluate the virucidal efficacy of chemical disinfectants in our country.In this paper, a European Union standard“Method and Requirements of Virucidal Quantitative Suspension Test Method for Chemical Disinfectants Used in Human Medicine” was analyzed and a standard transformation scheme has been proposed.It is suggested that the model viruses should be increased from 3 to 6, including the surrogate viruses to substitute highly pathogenic viruses, and that the method to remove the residual chemical disinfectant and the calculation of 95%confidence interval should be incorporated into the standard.The suggestion will improve the scientific and operational standards related to disinfection and sterilization in biosafety laboratory in China.

BACKGROUND:Previous studies have shown that kainic acid injected into hippocampus can significantly upregulate the expression of excitatory KA1 subunit of the kainate receptor in the hippocampus, and endoplasmic reticulum stress markers, phosphorylation of the alpha subunit of eukaryotic initiation factor 2, accompanied by celldeath. OBJECTIVE:To explore the mechanism of endoplasmic reticulum stress after kainic acid is injected into the hippocampus.METHODS:0.15 nmol kainic acid was injected into the hippocampal CA1 region of 32 adult male Kunming mice, the injection time was 60 seconds. At different time points (1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 and 12 hours) after kainic acid was injected, the Bederson score analysis was performed, and then the brain was harvested after cerebral perfusion. FJB staining of brain sections and immunofluorescence double labeled observation were also performed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) At 3, 4, 5, 6, 8 hours after kainic acid injection, Bederson score showed severe injury of central nervous system function, and FJB staining showed the increased of celldeath in the hippocampus (P<0.05);At 1, 2, 12 hours after injection, Bederson score showed no obvious injury of central nervous system function, and FJB staining showed unobvious celldeath in the hippocampus (P>0.05). (2) According to the results of FJB staining, the brain sections were selected at 3, 8 hours for immunohistochemistry. The expressionlevels of KA1 receptors and endoplasmic reticulum stress marker P-eIF2αwere up-regulated at the same time after kainic acid was injected into hippocampus. Two single-staining KA1 and P-eIF2αimmunofluorescence images were synthesized into one over-lapped double-stained image, and two images overlapped, indicating that the up-regulated expression of KA1 and endoplasmic reticulum stress occurred in the same nerve cells. Kainic acid first up-regulated the excitatory receptor KA1 expression, which may cause cellendoplasmic reticulum dysfunction and result in the endoplasmic reticulum stress response, further promoting neuronal celldeath.

Objective To investigate whether expression of XAF1 mediated by edenovirus vector AdS/F35 could induce apoptosis in pancreatic cancer cell line BxPC-3 and its possible mechanisms.Methods Preconstructed recombinant Ad5/F35-XAF1 virus and negative control Ad5/F35-Null was tranfected into BxPC3:the expression of XAF1 mRNA and protein before and after tranfection was,analyzed by semi-quantitative RT-PCR and Western blot.The expressions of proteins including Caspase-3,PARP,Caspase-8 and bcl-2 were detected by Western blots.Cell apoptosis was assessed by Annexin-v/PI and TUNEL staining.Results After Ad5/F35-XAF1 tranfection,XAF1 mRNA and protein expression significantly increased,and the difference was statistically significant when compared with control group and Ad5/F35-Null group(P＜0.05).The apoptosis rate was(19.90±3.09)%and(9.29±2.13)%,which was significantly different(P＜0.01)from those in the Ad5/F35-Null group[(6.72±0.7)6%,(2.73±0.51)%]or in the control group[(7.22±1.53)%,(1.56±0.47)%].The expression of Caspase-3,PARP and Caspase-8 significantly increased,but the expression of bcl-2 decreased.Conclusions XAF1 plays a major role in the apoptosis of pancreatic cancer that acts thriugh the activation of death receptor pathway and mitochondrial pathway of apoptosis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the diagnostic value of color Doppler ultrasound for peripheral intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma (ICC).MethodsNinety- five patients with ICC which were confirmed histopathologically were retrospectively studied.The features on color Doppler ultrasound were analyzed.ResultsThere were 102 tumors which ranged from 20 mm× 20 mm to 130 mm× 100 mm in size.On gray-scale ultrasonic imaging,a large proportion of the tumors presented with inhomogeneous echo (n=75,73.5％), indefinite boundaries (n =70, 68.6％),and irregular shape (n=55,53.9％).On color Doppler ultrasonic imaging,most tumors had flow signals (75,73.5％) mainly in the shape of areatus,short- line and color-dot.Most flow signals had a resistant index greater than 0.6.Of the 102 tumors,thirty-seven (36.3％) were observed to produce streak hyperecho,twentynine (28.4％) slight attenuation in the rear and 22 (21.6％) unbilical depression.The coincidence rate with ultrasound was 84.2％(80/95). ConclusionsThe features of peripheral intrahepatic cholangiocarcinoma on color Doppler ultrasound are characteristic.To be able to appreciate these features is helpful to improve on the accuracy rate of ultrasound.

Aim To investigate the effect of the total flavonoids of Epimedium (TFE)on MAPK/NF-κB sig-naling pathway and the inflammatory reaction in the hippocampus of natural aging male rats.Methods The morphological changes of the hippocampus com-posed of three areas (CA1 ,CA3 and DG)were ob-served using haematoxylin-eoin (HE ) staining.The protein expression levels of senescence-associated pro-tein p21,apoptosis-related proteins Bax and Bcl-2, nuclear transcription factor-κB p65 (NF-κB p65 )and its downstream inflammatory factors TNF-α,IL-1βand COX-2,and MAPK signaling pathway-related proteins (ERK1/2,p-ERK1/2,JNK,p-JNK,p38MAPK,p-p38MAPK)in hippocampal were detected by Western blot.Results Compared with natural aging group, TFE obviously improved the morphology and structure of hippocampal neurons,and the nerve cells arranged neatly and closely. Furthermore, TFE significantly downregulated the protein expression levels of p2 1 and Bax,upregulated the protein expression levels of Bcl-2 and the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax,and reduced the expression of NF-κB p65 and of its downstream inflammatory fac-tors TNF-α, IL-1β, COX-2, and MAPK signaling pathway-related proteins (p-ERK1/2,p-JNK and p-p38 MAPK ) in hippocampus of natural aging rats. Conclusions TFE effectively protects against inflam-matory reaction in brain aging of SD male rats.The mechanism is related with inhibition of NF-κB nuclear translocation and reduction of its downstream inflamma-tory cytokines expression by inhibiting MAPK signaling pathway activation.

Objective To explore the potential value of contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in diagnosis of renal pelvic carcinoma. Methods The ultrasonogram of conventional ultrasound and CEUS were analyzed retrospectively in 22 patients of renal pelvic carcinoma proved pathologically. The size, echo, boundary and color flow signal of renal pelvic lesions were observed with conventional ultrasound. The enhancement modality and phase of tumors were also observed with CEUS, including wash-in and wash-out time, as well as the perfusion appearances. Results The maximum diameters ranged from 1.5 cm to 8.5 cm in 22 renal pelvic tumors. Conventional ultrasound detected flat mass in 7 tumors, irregular mass in 15 tumors; the same side hydronephrosis in 11 patients. Color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) disclosed fairly rich flow signal of 5 tumors, a small amount of flow signal around tumor in 9 tumors and no-flow signal in the rest tumors. CEUS detected the cortical phase enhancement in all renal pelvic tumors, including synchronously enhancement in 8 tumors and delayed enhancement in 14 tumors. In peak time, hypoechogenicity compared to the normal renal cortex was showed in 18 tumors, hyperechogenicity in 3 tumors and isoechogenicity in 1 tumor. Fast wash-out in medulla phase was displayed in 20 tumors, isochronously wash-out in 1 tumor and delayed wash-out in 1 tumor. The diagnostic accuracy of the conventional ultrasound and CEUS was 63.64% (14/22) and 81.82% (18/22), respectively. Conclusion CEUS can depict blood flow supply and improve the diagnostic rate of renal pelvic carcinoma.

Objective To explore the expression of transforming growth factor ?1(TGF-?1)in the mucosa of guinea pigs with otitis media with effusion(OME)and the role of TGF-?1 in the development of OME.Methods 70 guinea pigs were randomly devided into 7 groups,each with 10 animals.OME was produced by injecting deactivated streptococcus pneumoniae into the typmpanic cavity of guinea pigs.The expression of TGF-?1 was examined by means of immunohistochemistry 6 h,1 d,3 d,7 d,14 d and 30 d after injection.Results TGF-?1 expression could be detected in the middle ear mucosa at 7 d after injection and reached maximum at 30 d.Conclusion TGF-?1 is expressed in the middle ear mucosa of the guinea pigs with OME induced by deactivated streptococcus pneumoniae,and this indicates that TGF-?1 may play a role in the chronic protraction of OME.
