ObjectiveTo observe the changes of expression of aquaporin-1(AQP-1)and AQP-4 in drowned and postmortem immersed rats’lungs.MethodsThirty healthy male Wistar rats were randomly divided into drowning group, postmortem immersion group and cervical dislocation group. The morpho-logical changes of rats’lungs were observed using HE staining. The mRNA and protein expressions of AQP-1 and AQP-4 in rats’lungs were detected by real-time PCR, immunohistochemistry and Western blotting, respectively.ResultsThe results of immunohistochemistry and the Western blotting showed that the protein expression of AQP-1 of the drowning group was higher than the postmortem immersion group and the cervical dislocation group(P<0.05). The result of immunohistochemistry showed that the protein expression of AQP-4 of the drowning group was higher than the postmortem immersion group and the cervical dislocation group(P<0.05)while no difference were detected among the three of them by Western blotting(P>0.05). The mRNA expressions of AQP-1 and AQP-4 in rats’lungs of the drown-ing group was significantly higher than the postmortem immersion group(P<0.05).ConclusionThe in-crease of mRNA and protein expressions of AQP-1 and AQP-4 in lungs of rats with cute lung injury of the drowning group would be useful for differentiating vital drowning from postmortem immersion.

Objective:To establish a human monocyte cell line U937 stably expressing CD200.Methods:The eukaryotic expression vector pcDNA3-CD200 containing human CD200 cDNA and vector pcDNA3 were transferred into human monocyte U937 cell line by electrotransfer.These two cell lines were selected by G418, and the selected cell lines were subcultured. U937 cell line was enclosed as control group.The expression of CD200 mRNA and protein was detected by RT-PCR and flow cytometry.Results:After G418 selection,U937 cell line in control group was died, and the cell lines transferring pcDNA3 and recombined pcDNA3-CD200 were subcultured over 30 generations.The CD200 mRNA expression in pcDNA3-CD200 group was confirmed with RT-PCR.The CD200 expression in U937-pcDNA3-CD200,U937-pcDNA3 and U937 were 77.20%,3.20% and 2.10%,compared with other two groups (F=133 996.40,P0.05).Conclusion:Our study provides foundation for mechanism of action for CD200 in future.The human monocyte series U937 cell line that expresses CD200 protein stably is established successfully by gene transfection method.

[Objective] To evaluate the results of open reduction with bone autografting and calcaneus reconstruction with internal fixation in treatment of intra-articular calcaneus fracture. [Methods]From January 2005 to May 2007, 17 cases/19 feet of intra-articular calcaneus fractures received treatment of reconstruction plate and bone autografting, with 15 male/18 feet, 2 female/ 2 feet. Patients’ age ranged from 19 to 67 years (mean, 37.5 years). Fracture occurred in left side in 9 cases, right in 6 cases, both sides in 2 cases. All patients received treatment of open reduction with bone autografting and calcaneus reconstruction with internal fixation.[Results]All the patients achieved bone union. One stage union was achieved in 15 feet. Poor blood-supply was found in 3 feet and bone union was achieved after systematic treatment. Wound exudation was found in 1 feet, and bone union was achieved after dressing change treatment. All patients were followed up for an average of 19.7 months (10-38 months). The average union time was 2.5 months, without infection found.X-ray and CT were used to measure Bhler angle, width and axial length, all the indexed showed significant difference (P

The application of Standardized patient(SP) in Chinese clinical teaching is still in its infancy.The experience of SP in respiratory medicine teaching is also very limited.This article discusses the experience in applying SP in respiratory medicine teaching and several issues of SP training that should he paid attention to,and hrings forward our expectation in SP training in China.

Objective To detect the initial results of total hip arthroplasty (THA) after failure of internal fixation of femoral neck fractures and investigate the key points in surgical procedures and prosthesis selection.Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 36 cases who had THA for femoral neck fractures due to the initially failed internal fixation between January 2007 and December 2012.There were 21 males and 15 females,with age ranging from 46 to 72 years (mean,58.6 years).After internal fixation,13 cases were complicated by femoral head necrosis,eight fracture nonunion,and 15 fracture nonunion combined with femoral head necrosis.All the 36 cases had cementless THA,including proximally fixed stem in 25 cases and distally fixed stem in 11 cases.Harris hip score was assessed before operation and at follow-up.Results All the cases received a follow-up of 26-52 months (mean,32.5 months).Mean Harris hip score improved from 26.3 to 83.6,including excellent results in 12 cases,good in 22,and fair in two,with excellence-good rate of 94％.Conclusion With respect to the failed internal fixation of femoral neck fractures,THA is an effective remedial method to improve hip function and quality of life of the patients.

Objective To study the inhibitory effects of Probucol on the expressions of serum promatrix metalloproteinase-2(pro-MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) in patients with coronary heart disease(CHD).Methods The levels of serum Pro-MMP-2 and MMP-2 were detected by zymograph and total cholesterol(TC),triglyceride(TG),high density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL-C)were measured by enzyme method in 30 CHD patients before and after treatment with Probucol.Results After treatment of Probucol,the expression levels of pro-MMP-2,MMP-2,TC and LDL-C in serum were decreased than those before treatment,respectively;there were obvious differences of various indexes mentioned above between before and after treatment(P0.05).Conclusion Probucol can inhibit the expressions of pro-MMP-2 and MMP-2 in serum as same as TC and LDL-C.Probucol,as one of TIMPs,may be applied to stabilize plaque..

Objective To analyse protein tyrosine phosphatase 1B (PTP1B) gene mutation in myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN).Methods DNA sequencing technology was used to detect DNA sequences of PTP1B in MPN patients (n =84) and normal controls (n =37).Results For Exon1-6,Exon9 and Exon10,84 cases of MPN patients and 37 cases of control group were not detected mutation.For EXON 8,18 of 84 MPN patients had Exon8 C/T heterozygous mutation and 10 of 37 normal controls were detected C/T heterozygous mutation.There was no significant difference between MPN patients and normal controls (x2 =0.453,P =0.501).Exon7 was detected in 38 MPN patients and 2 cases of patients were found C/T heterozygous mutation,while in the control group,1 case with G/C heterozygous mutation.All of the cases were not detected homozygous mutation.Conclusion Using DNA sequencing technology to detect gene mutations of PTP1B,there is no significant difference between MPN patients and normal controls.

Objective To investigate the alteration and significance of inflammatory factors in hypertension patients complicated with acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods Eighty seven AMI patients were grouped as normotensive group(n=43) or hypertensive group(n=44),25 healthy subjects served as control.Plasma level of IL-1?,IL-6,IL-8,TNF-? and IFN-? were determined at admission of hospitalization,24 h,48 h,5 d,7 d and 14 d after myocardial infarction using ELISA method.Results 1)Compared with the control group,the level of all inflammatory markers were elevated significantly in 2 weeks after myocardial infarction and showed a pattern of dynamic changes.2)Compared with normotensive group,IL-6 in hypertensive group was increased more significantly on 5th day(P=0.019) to 7th day(P=0.005)after AMI.Conclusion Inflammation was involved in the course of AMI since the early stage.Hypertension seems to exaggerated the inflammatory reaction after myocardial infarction.
