Objective To study the expression-mode and dynamic transmutation of high mobility group box-1 (HMGB1) in hepatocytes of the mouse model with acute hepatic failure and to study the interaction beween HMGB1 and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin-1β (IL-1β). Methods The mouse model of acute hepatic failure was established by injecting D-galactosamine (D-GalN) and lipopolysaccharide(LPS). Immunohistochemistry SABC method was used to detect the HMGB1 expression at 6 time points. The enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to determine serum TNF-α. IL-1β levels. Paired t test was used for statistical analysis. Results The HMGB1 expression was detectable at 2 hours after injection, which dramatically increased over time and peaked at 24 hours after injection. The serum TNF-a level and IL-1β level increased right after injection. The TNF-a level peaked at 8 hours after injection with a maximum value of (473.42±22. 99) pg/mL. The IL-1β level peaked at 2 hours after injection with a maximum value of (724. 49±34. 24) pg/mL. Both cytokine levels slowly decreased after peaking. IL-1β level returned normal with (51. 49±36. 87) pg/mL. Conclusions HMGB1 is one of the most important factors during the development of acute hepatic failure, which can promote the secretion of TNF-α and IL-1β at early stage and be abundantly expressed under the effect of these cytokines at middle and late stages with the result of liver damage. This process is directly correlated with the development and severity of hepatic failure.

Injury of choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction refers to the penetrating injury of the bile duct, pancrea-tic duct or duodenal wall in the region of ampulla of Vater. It is often caused by improper operation of surgical instruments, and may lead to leakage of bile, pancreatic or duodenal contents into retroperitoneal space and chemical corrosion in a wide range of retroperitoneal soft tissue, which result in severe secondary infection or even death. Leakage of contrast media, hypertrophy of tissue and anatomical changes were the evidences for injury of choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction. Injury of choledocho-pancreatico-duodenal junction can be. divided into 4 types, and treatment selected according to different types of injury is neces-sary for the prognosis of patients.

Objective To explore the lesion mechanism and the apoptosis related protein changes of kidney in rat suffered from obstructive jaundice. Methods Choledocho-ligation methods was used to create rat obstructive jaundice model. Six rats in the normal control group and thirty rats of experiment group were observed at day 1, 3, 6,10 and 14 after rat model establishment. HE staining for kidney pathological changes, TUNEL staining for cell apoptosis, SABC for apoptotic related proteins of survivin and bax, xanthine oxidase method for SOD activity and thiobarbiturate method for MAD content were carried out. Results Renal tubular epithelial cell necrosis, cell shedding and aggregation were the main pathological changes in the experiment group. In the experiment group, the apoptosis ratio increased significantly, and reached the peak of (25.2?2.8)% on postoperative day 14. The relative gray value of survivin in the experiment group decreased significantly and of bax increased significantly. The plasma SOD activity in the normal group was (193.6?23.5) U/L, but it in the experiment group decreased significantly. The plasma MDA content and the endotoxin level in the experiment group increased significantly. Conclusion Cell apoptosis is one of the lesion mechanisms of kidney in rats suffered from obstructive jaundice. The down-regulation of survivin and the up-regulation of bax may be the biological factor in the occurrence of apoptosis. The increasing of free radical and endotoxin are important factors in the kidney lesion.

Objective To discuss the clinical distribution and antibiotic resistance of 1909 strains of Pseudomonas aeruginosa(PA)to 19 antibiotics.Methods To collect and isolate clinical specimens from Jan to Dec in 2007,and analysis the drug resistance of 1909 stains of PA.Results The top three departments of infection rnte are Senior Officials inpatient Ward(38.9%),Neurology Department(28.1%)and Pneumology Department(19.58%).The drug with the highest level of antibiotic resistance is Trimethoprin/Sulfa(96.3%),the second one is Tetracycline(95.3%),and drugs with low level antibiotic resistance are imipenem(39.8%),Ceftazidime(29%),Piperacillin/Tazobactam(28%),amikacin(14%),respectively.Conclusion PA is a main pathogenic bacteria for bedridden patients and critically ill patients in ICU.It's important to choose antibiotics reasonably,and it's necessary to acontrol the path of hospital-acquired infection.

To establish the quality standards, the authors identified Semen Arecae and Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae in Xiaoerxiaoshi Tablets with TLC and determined the content of ursolic acid and organic acids with TLC-colorimetry and neutralization method.

Objective:To analysis the N-terminal amino acid sequence of 5D3Ag purified by mAb5D3 immunoaffinity column.Methods:SDS-PAGE and Western Blot were used to study the characteristics of 5D3Ag.From SDS-PAGE gel,5D3Ag was transferred to PVDF membrane and its N-terminal amino acid sequence was analysised with an auto amino acid sequencer.Results:SDS-PAGE of 5D3Ag showed a band on the gel with molecular weight of 43 kD.Western Blot study showed that mAb5D3 can recognize 5D3Ag.The N-terminal amino acid sequence was NQGSHGSEEQ.Conclusion:It is sure that 5D3Ag is unique to Osteosarcoma because of the purification method itself and the characteristics of mAb5D3.Compared with other reported Osteosarcoma associated antigen,5D3Ag is different from them in molecular weight and may be a novel Osteosarcoma associated antigen.With the help of N-teminal amino acid sequence,some primers may be designed to clone the whole length gene of 5D3Ag.The identification of 5D3Ag gene may be useful in understanding the biologic mechanics of Osteosarcoma and developing new diagnostic and therapeutic strategies.

Objective To investigate the Th1/Th2 cells imbalance in childhood primary nephrotic syndrome(PNS)and its relation to disease activity. Methods Percentage of T-helper-1(Th1) and T-helper-2 (Th2) cells was examined by three-color flow-cytometry in 21 cases of first-onset PNS, 16 cases of remission PNS and 10 healthy children. Results The percentage of Th1, Th2 and Th0 cells in healthy children was (13. 42?4. 36)% , (2. 53 ? 1. 97)% and (1. 25?0. 92)% respectively. In the patients with first-onset PNS, the percentage of Th1, Th2 and Th0 cells was significantly decreased as compared to healthy children [(2. 34 ?2. 09)%, (1.02?0.96)% and (0.40?0.38)% respectively, all P 0. 05]. Because of relatively low percentage of Th1 cells in contrast to Th2 cells in the patients with first-onset PNS, Th1/Th2 ratio was also significantly reduced in those patients, as compared to the patients with remission PNS and the healthy children (2. 43 ? 2.65 vs 4. 17?2. 32 and 5. 41?2. 77, both P
