The aim of this study is to clone the mouse T-bet promoter and enhancer, construct and identify the firefly luciferase reporter gene plasmid pGL4.10-TBX21pr-CNS for T-bet transcription regulation study and its function in signaling of multiple sclerosis. The promoter and CNS of T-bet were predicted by bioinformatics assay. The predicted fragment of mouse T-bet promoter plus CNS was amplified by PCR and cloned into pGL4.10. The recombinant plasmid pGL4.10-TBX21pr-CNS was transferred into Escherichia coli DH5α. The positive clone was identified by double digestion with Kpn I and Sfi I and DNA sequencing. Finally, pGL4.10-TBX21pr-CNS was cotransfected with pRL-TK into 293T cells and Jurkat cells, pRL-TK and pGL4.10 as a control. The luciferase activity in 293T cells (P = 0.012 2) and Jurkat cells (P = 0.002 2) was higher than that of the control group. A fragment of 1 028 bp mouse T-bet promoter plus 1 308 bp CNS was successfully cloned and the firefly luciferase reporter gene plasmid pGL4.10-TBX21pr-CNS was constructed. In 293T cells and Jurkat cells, pGL4.10-TBX21pr-CNS has the promoter functions. This work offers a basic material for the research of T-bet transcription.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the perioperative treatments of endoscopic sinus surgery for nasal diseases in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI. METHOD: Clinical data of 12 cases of endoscopie-assised surgery such as nasal tumors resection,functional sinus surgery,correction of deviated nasal septum,low-temperature plasma hemostasis in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI were analyzed retrospectively. RESULT: Serious bleeding did not take place with the 12 cases during surgery, and surgery progressed smoothly; one of patients had heavy nosebleed after surgery, however her condition was stable when received active treatment. Follow-up 3 months to 2 years, nasal diseases of 12 patients recovered well and symptoms were relieved; cardiovascular events such as hemorrhage, thrombosis and so on did not occur. CONCLUSION Due to physiological function of the heart dysfunction in patients with coronary heart disease after PCI,they often accompany a number of trouble issues such as medical disorders, oral antiplatelet drugs, surgery affordability loss and increase surgical risk. Correct and effective perioperative treatments, strictly surgical indications are really necessary which can keep patients safe through perioperative period.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a HPLC method for the determination of chlorogenic acid and baicalin in xiaoer qingrening granula.METHODS:The determination was performed on Symmetry Shield RP C 18 ,the mobile phase of chlorogenic acid consisted of acetonitrile-0.4%phosphoric acid soluton(13∶87)and that of baicalin consisted of methanol-water-glacial acetic acid(50∶50∶1),the detection wavelengths of chlorogenic acid and baicalin were327nm and274nm,respectively,the flow rate was1.0ml/min,sample size was20?l and column temperature was25℃.RESULTS:The respective linear sample size range for chlorogenic acid and baicalin was0.1040?g～1.040?g(r=0.9998)and0.6240?g～6.240?g(r=0.9997),with average recoveries respectively at96.4%(RSD=1.4%)and98.0%(RSD=1.1%).CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,accurate,reproducible and specific,and it can be used for the quality control of xiaoer qingrening granula.

OBJECTIVETo compare the cleaning effect of automatic cleaning machine and manual cleaning on coupling type surgical instruments.

METHODSA total of 32 cleaned medical instruments were randomly sampled from medical institutions in Putuo District medical institutions disinfection supply center. Hygiena System SUREII ATP was used to monitor the ATP value, and the cleaning effect was evaluated.

RESULTSThe surface ATP values of the medical instrument of manual cleaning were higher than that of the automatic cleaning machine.

CONCLUSIONCoupling type surgical instruments has better cleaning effect of automatic cleaning machine before disinfection, the application is recommended.

OBJECTIVE:To consolidate the results of special antibacterial drug rectification so as to improve the rational medi-cation of antibacterial drugs. METHODS:By using the method of retrospective analysis,the antibacterial drug application data in 2011(before rectification and initial stage of rectification),2012(middle stage thereof)and 2013(later stage thereof)were sum-marized,compared and analyzed. RESULTS:After special rectification(Jan. 2011 vs. Dec. 2013),the utilization rate of antibacte-rial drugs in perioperative period for class I incision decreased from 80.42% to 24.49%. That of antibacterial drugs in emergency treatment decreased from 53.79% to 36.23%. The examination rate of microbial samples in inpatients who would use special-grade antibacterial drugs increased from 16.12% to 94.17%. The use intensity of antibacterial drugs by inpatients decreased from 70.28 DDDs/(100 persons·d) to 27.44 DDDs/(100 persons·d). The utilization rate of antibacterial drugs by inpatients decreased from 65.99% to 46.45%. CONCLUSIONS:Special rectification has remarkable effects on rational clinical application of antibacterial drugs. Regulation and evaluation should be strengthened to maintain the effects and continuously improvement should be made.

[Summary] To investigate the effect of gliclazide on the proliferation and differentiation in MC3T3-E1 cells exposed to normal glucose concentration by applying CCK-8 and RT-PCR. Gliclazide improved the proliferation and stimulated COL-I, OPN and Runx2 mRNA expression in MC3T3-E1 cells, the best concentration of gliclazide was 20μmol/ L, the expression of COL-1 and OPN mRNA had a significant positive correlation with Runx2 binding activity.

After MC3T3-E1 cells were treated with 1,10,and 20 μmol/L glibenclamide for 48 h,the proliferation rate of cells was detected by CCK-8 assay.Flow cytometry was used to test cell apoptosis.The mRNA expressions of collagen I (COL-1) and osteopontin (OPN) were tested by realtime fluorescence quantitative PCR.Western blot was used to detect the expression levels of apoptosis-related proteins Bax and Bcl-2.The results showed that compared with the control group,the proliferation rate of MC3T3-E1 cells was gradually increased (P＜0.05),the apoptosis rate decreased (P ＜ 0.05),the expressions of COL-1 mRNA,OPN mRNA,and Bcl-2 protein were progressively raised (P＜0.05),and the expression of Bax protein were gradually decreased (P＜0.05) along with increasing concentration of glyburide.It suggested that glibenclamide could promote the proliferation and differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cells in high glucose and may inhibit apoptosis in a concentration-dependent manner within a certain range.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dexmedetomidine on acute liver injury in rats with endotoxemia.Methods Eighteen adult male Sprague-Dawley rats, aged 3-4 months, weighing 250-300 g, were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=6 each) using a random number table: control group (group C), endotoxin group (group E), and dexmedetomidine group (group D).In E and D groups, lipopo-lysaccharide 5 mg/kg was injected via the femoral vein of rats anesthetized with chloral hydrate.In group D, dexmedetomidine was infused with a 7 μg/kg loading bolus over 15 min after injection of lipopolysaccharide, followed by a 6 h continuous infusion of 5 μg · kg-1 · h-1.The equal volume of normal saline was given instead in E and C groups.After the end of administration, blood samples from the femoral vein were drawn for determination of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) and interleukin-1β (IL-1β) concentrations in serum (by using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay), and alanine aminotransferase (ALT) and aspartate aminotransferase (AST) activities in serum (using the International Federation of Clinical Chemistry and Laboratory Medicine reference procedures).Liver specimens were obtained for examination of pathologic changes with electron microscope.Results Compared with group C, the serum ALT and AST activities and TNF-α and IL-lβ concentrations were significantly increased in E and D groups.Compared with group E, the serum ALT and AST activities and TNF-α and IL-1β concentrations were significantly decreased in group D.The pathologic changes of livers were obvious in group E, and were significantly reduced in group D compared with group E.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can alleviate acute liver injury in rats with endotoxemia, and the underlying mechanism is associated with inhibition of systemic inflammatory responses.
