Objective To investigate the neural proliferation , differentiation and apoptosis of the developing spinal cord of the mouse and to discuss the mechanism of spinal cord ’ s development .Methods 5-Bromodeoxyuridine ( BrdU) assay was used to mark the proliferative neural stem cells , and the immunofluorescent stainings ( DCX, NeuN and Caspase8) were carried out to visualize the newborn neurons , mature cells and apoptotic cells in the spinal cord with 173 mice arrange from E18 to P90.Results BrdU positive neural stem cells appeared evenly in the spinal cord at early days . With age increasing , the neural stem cells differentiated into neuroglial cells and neurons .The newborn neurons in the subventricular zone migrated toward the intermediate zone ( putative gray matter ) and differentiated into mature neurons gradually .With neurons ’ concentrating towards the center , the gray matter formed an “H” shape .In the meantime , with neural differentiation , some apoptotic neurons appeared among the newborn neurons and mature neurons . Double immunostaining showed that most apoptotic neurons were newborn neurons , suggesting the neuroapoptosis more likely occurred in newborn neurons .The statistical data showed that the number of DCX , NeuN and Caspase-8 positive cells reduced with age increasing , suggesting neural differentiation and neuroapoptosis decreased during spinal cord ’ s development .Conclusion Neural proliferation , neural differentiation and neuroapoptosis occur in developing spinal cord . They work together to regulate the formation and development of the spinal cord .

Objective To detect attenuated plaque by using intravascular ultrasound (IVUS) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI) and to investigate the influence of attenuated plaque on perioperative period of percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods Coronary angiography and IVUS were performed in 85 hospitalized patients with AMI, additional implantation of stent was employed when necessary. According to the presence or absence of attenuated plaque determined by IVUS, the patients were divided into attenuated plaque group(n=35) and non-attenuated plaque group(n=50). The perioperative IVUS findings, the blood flow classification after myocardial infarction thrombolysis (TIMI) and the postoperative peak value of creatine kinase MB (CK-MB) determined were compared between the two groups. Results Among the 85 AMI patients, attenuated plaque was detected in 35 (41.2%) and no attenuated plaque was found in 50(58.8%). No statistically significant differences in the age, sex and risk factors existed between the two groups (P>0.05). The proportion of having attenuated plaque in patients with ST segment elevation myocardial infarction (STEMI) was obviously higher than that in patients with non-STEMI (P<0.01). In performing coronary angiography, the difference in TIMI blood flow classification between the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05), but after balloon dilatation the TIMI grade 0-2 in theattenuated plaque group was strikingly higher than that in the non-attenuated plaque group (P=0.003). After PCI, the proportion of patients with elevated CK-MB value and higher peak value in the attenuated plaque group was remarkably higher than those in the non-attenuated plaque group (P<0.01). Conclusion The results of this study indicate that attenuated plaque can increase the incidence of no-reflow and slow reflow after PCI, which is more often seen in STEMI patients. The attenuated plaque carries significantly high risk, and the presence of attenuated plaque is helpful in predicting, the elevated extent of CK-MB value after PCI.

Objective To study the effects of main ingredients from microemulsion extract of Compound Longqincao in vitro on anti-influenza virus H1N1 activity; To analyze effects of main ingredients from microemulsion extract on influenza virus inhibition rate.Methods Uniform design was used to conduct the experiment. MTT method was used to detect the effect rate (ER) of anti-influenza virus H1N1 on A549 cells. Setting ER as the index, Minitab17 software was used to establish mathematical model to come up with regression equations of all factors. The effects of ingredients on ER were analyzed and the efficient composition ratio of the optimum anti-influenza virus H1N1 was chosen.ResultsIn the compound compatibility, baicalin showed the most obvious antivirus activity, and licorice glycosides had certain inhibition effects on pathological changes of cells. Five ingredients had coordinative or controlled relation with ER. When per milliliter liquids containing licorice glycosides, baicalin, leucine, aspartic acid, glutamic acid was 13.94μg, 49.44μg, 0.23 mg, 1.25 mg, and 2.50 mg, ER was the best. ER was 85.34%±4.72% after verification.ConclusionThe optimized combination of main ingredients from microemulsion extract of Compound Longqincaocan better play a role in anti-influenza virus H1N1.

A comparable study were carried out by determination of trace elements on five marine-derived shell traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) (Ostreae Concha, Haliotidis Concha, Margaritifera Concha, Meretricis Concha, and Arcae Concha), which were recorded in the Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2010 version). Seven trace elements in 51 batches of this type of shell TCM were analyzed by Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS), combined with principal component analysis (PCA) methods. The content of element Se, which exhibited significant differences among different drugs, could be used as a key element to distinguish this type of drugs. Meanwhile, the contents of elements Co, Cu, Mo, and Ba in Haliotidis Concha, Co and As in Margaritifera Concha, Mo and As in Meretricis Concha, Mo, As, and Ba in Arcae Concha, and Zn in Meretricis Concha were relatively stable. In the PCA plot, Arcae Concha and Meretricis Concha could be efficiently distinguished from Ostreae Concha together with Haliotidis Concha, and Margaritifera Concha. The results also showed a correlation with their medicinal function. In conclusion, trace elements in marine-derived shell TCM could not be neglected for their quality control.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features of adolescent mixed epithelial and stromal tumor of the kidney ( MESTK) and improve recognization of this rare disease. Methods Clinicopathological and immunohistochemical characteristics of MESTK occured in 17-year-old girl were studied. Reviewed the related literatures, clinical and pathological characteristics of adoles-cent MESTK were analysed comprehensively. Results Congenital perineal spill was the main clinical manifestations. Microscopically, the tumor showed nodules and was composed of a mixture of epithelial and stromal elements. Glands were lined with columnar or cilia-ted columnar cells. Stromal cells surrounding glands seemed like ovaries and away from glands seemed like the differentiation of smooth muscle. Immunohistochemical staining revealed that the epithelial cells were positive for CK7 and vimentin. Stromal cells expressed desmin, smooth muscle actin ( SMA) , ER and PR. It was noteworthy that stromal cells away from glands expressed desmin. Conclu-sions As a kind of rare benign neoplasm of kidney, MESTK often occurs in perimenopausal women. But MESTK can also occur in ad-olescence, and has nothing to do with the use of hormone. Therefore, the renal tumor occurred in teenagers with biphasic differentiation should be differentiated from MESTK.

Objective:To purify HLA-DR molecules. Methods: Anti-HLA-DR antibody L243 was purified and coupled with CNBr activated Sepharose 4B gel. Immunoaffinity column was used to purify HLA-DR molecules. Results:Twenty micrograms of HLA-DR molecules were isolated from about 5 g Epstein-Barr virus-transformed human B lymphoblastoid cell line RAJI lysates by affinity chromatography. The purified HLA-DR molecules existed in α/β heterodimers form and could bind to conformation-dependent antibody L243. These HLA-DR molecules were separated into two strands,α and β,by boiling denaturation. These results are the basis for studying MHC Ⅱ binding peptide motif and CD4＋ T cell epitopes of antigens in future.
