AIM To study the effects of sera derived from rats administrated Lugu Ganoderma Lucidum (LGL) on the expression of adhesion molecules ICAM 1 and VCAM 1 induced by oxidative low density lipoprotein (ox LDL) and glycated albumin METHODS The expression of ICAM 1 and VCAM 1 on the surface of endothelial cells was detected by endothelial cell enzyme linked immunosobent assay (ELISA) and flow cytometric technique RESULTS The results by cell ELISA demonstrated that the sera derived from the rats administrated 0 12 g?kg -1 p o of LGL did not show significant effects on theexpression of ICAM 1 induced by ox LDL, but the sera from the rats administrated 0 24 g?kg -1 , 0 72 g?kg -1 po for ten days produced significant effects of inhibiting the expression of ICAM 1 induced by ox LDL and the expression of ICAM 1 and VCAM 1 induced by glycated albumin The results by flow cytometric techniques showed that the sera from the rats administrated 0 72 g?kg -1 for ten days produced the same effect on ICAM 1 induced by ox LDL and glycated albumin CONCLUSION Lugu Ganoderma Lucidum can inhibit the expression of adhesion molecules on the surface of endothelial cells induced by ox LDL and glycated albumin.

Objective To investigate the clinical significance and relationship of preS1, HBV DNA and HBV-M. Methods PreS1 and HBV-M was detected by ELISA method,and HBV DNA was detected by PCR. Then the results were analyzed. Results In HBV patients,the positive rates of preS1 and HBV DNA had no statistically significant ,they had fine dependability. The detection rate of preS1 in HBeAg(+) group(80.3%) and HBeAg(+)group( 56.3% ) had statistically significant. In some patients,though HBeAg had become negative, HBV still replicated. In HBV DNA replicated patients(≥103 copies/ml) ,the detection rate of HBeAg and preS1 were 51.5% and 70.9% ,they had statistically significant. Conclusion HBV DNA and PreS1 had fine dependability,preSl could reflect the replication of HBV sensitively than HBeAg,it could be used as a reliable new marker of HBV replication in vivo.

An adolescent patient,in the peak of growth and development,with severe skeletal Class Ⅲ malocclusion and maxillary impacted canines was treated by removable and fixed appliances in the upper and lower dental arches.After treatment,the crossbite was relieved,the facial contour was improved,the integrity of the denture was kept and the Class Ⅰ molar relationship was achieved.

In order to control the quality of all parts of the process for culturing,preparing and using clinically the human embryo olfactory ensheathing cells (OECs),the conduct standard of culturing human OECs from olfactory bulb is formulated. Because the strict conduct process can reduce the human factor as much as possible and ensure the stability of the cell quality. Therefore,during the culturing process of human embryo OECs, as for the embryo sample of OECs from olfactory bulb,the standard of lab condition and cell culture must be set strictly. The key steps of conduct process must be regulated,the freezing and resuscitating process of OECs must be controlled,the test method for microbial contamination during cell culture must be proposed and the risk must be reduced,then the quality of the human OECs from olfactory bulb can be guaranteed during the clinical application.

Objective:To investigate the role of interleukin-10 (IL-10) and IL-12 in the differential diagnosis of tuberculous and malignant pleural effusion through measuring the serum and pleural effusion IL-10 and IL-12 levels of tuberculous and malignant pleural effusion patients.Methods: Forty-eight inpatients with exudative pleural effusion who didn''t receive any treatment before were selected.According to the pathogeny, the patients were divided into tuberculous pleural effusion group (n=25) and malignant pleural effusion group (n=23).The levels of IL-10 and IL-12 in peripheral blood and pleural effusion of the patients in two groups were detected by Cytometric Bead Array (CBA).The differences in IL-10, IL-12 levels and IL-12/IL-10 ratio were compared between two groups.The ROC curves of the above indexes, cast-off and adenosine deaminase (ADA) were used to compare the effects in differential diagnosis of tuberculous and malignant pleural effusion.Results: There were no statistical differences in the levels of serum IL-10, IL-12 and IL-12/IL-10 ratios of the patients between tuberculous and malignant pleural effusion groups (P>0.05),and the IL-12 level in pleural effusion and the IL-12/IL-10 ratio of the patients in malignant pleural effusion group were lower than those in tuberculous pleural effusion group (P<0.005).The area under the ROC curve for the levels of IL-12 in pleural effusion (0.984) was higher than those for the ratio of IL-12/IL-10, cast-off and ADA (0.744, 0.804 and 0.911, respectively) in the differential diagnosis of tuberculous and malignant pleural effusion.Conclusion: The detection of IL-12 levels in pleural effusion is helpful for the differential diagnosis of tuberculous and malignant pleural effusion, and the pleural effusion is easy to obtain, therefore the detection of IL-12 in pleural effusion is worth to be widely applied in clinic.

Objective To investigate the personality traits, anxiety and depression in patients with leukemia. Methods A cross-sectional survey was performed in 120 patients with leukemia and 118 age and gender-matched controls. Personality was assessed using the Type A Behavior Pattern Questionnaire (TABPQ). Emotion was ascertained using the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) and self-rating depression scale (SDS). The relationship between personality type A and anxiety and depression was evaluated by Pearson correlation analysis. Results The prevalence of personality type A was significantly higher in patients with leukemia than healthy controls [71.67 % (86/120) vs. 30.51 % (36/118), P< 0.01]. Patients with leukemia also had higher prevalence of anxiety and depression compared with healthy controls [36.67%(44/120) vs. 9.32%(11/118), P< 0.01; 29.17 % (35/120) vs. 5.93 % (7/118), P< 0.01]. Pearson correlation analysis showed that time-hurry (TH) and competition-hostility (CH) of personality type A correlated positively with anxiety (r=0.292, r= 0.277, respectively; both P< 0.05). Conclusion TH and CH of personality type A are associated with anxiety in leukemia patients.
