There are many causes of children cerebral infarction, including cerebrovascular malformation,autoimmune cerebrovascular phlogistic, infection, trauma and the high state of blood coagulation. Because the brain development is not mature, the children is the high-risk group of traumatic cerebral infarction. The early diagnosis of traumatic cerebral infarctions relies on the dynamic performance of the clinical observation, taking head CT or MRI quickly, especially diffusion-weighted imaging, which is more sensitive on the judgement of acute cerebral infarction period. Common sites of traumatic cerebral infarction are basal ganglia. The infarcts are usually small. Treatment on traumatic cerebral infarction must give priority to non-operation. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment can provide better prognosis than adults.

This paper reports the methods of preparation of ?-BT-HRP conjugates. In the conditions of our laboratory we got this conjugate using the periodate method. Nevertheless, the conjugates were not able to be synthesized by the classical one-step and two-step glutaraldehyde methods. On the basis of these findings, we conclude that for the preparation of ?-BT-HRP the periodate method is very simple and effective

Objective To study the effect of Nurrl gene on the differentiation of rats' marrow stromal cells(MSCs) into neurous under the co-inducement of total panax notoginserg saponins(tPNS) and all-trans-retineic acid(ATRA) by coloning the Nurrl gene and transfecting it into MSCs. Methods Expressing plasmids pcDNA3.1-hygro-Nurrl were cloned,then transfected into MSCs with lipofectamine 2000.To begin with,MSCs were subcultured into 6-wells cultured plate at about 5?10~5 cells/well density and the wells were divided into four groups randomly which were Nurrl+tPNS/ATRA group,tPNS/ATRA group,Nurrl group and control group.Secondly,the plasmids were introduced to the MSCs in Nurrl+tPNS/ATRA group and Nurrl group,then protein expression of Nurrl was identified with immunocytochemistry.Thirdly,after the MSCs and plasmids had been co-cultured for 48 hours,cells in Nurrl+tPNS/ATRA group and tPNS/ATRA group were induced with BME in advance then with tPNS/ATRA in due form.For cells in Nurrl and control group,the only difference was that tPNS/ATRA was replaced with the culture.Finally we compared the different percentage of positive cells in four groups with TH,AChE and GABA antibodies by immunocytochemistry method. Results The immunocytochemical test showed that the MSCs transfected with Nurrl gene expressed Nurrl protein.The percentage of positive cells of TH antibody in Nurrl+tPNS/ATRA group was(38.4?4.6)% distinctly higher than that of tPNS/ATRA group,which was(5.9?3.4)%.Conclusion With tPNS/ATRA induced and immunocytochemistry of TH,positive cells percentage in Nurrl+tPNS/ATRA group was higher than that in tPNS/ATRA group,which showed a statistic difference.And the inducing function of tPNS and ATRA in MSCs differentiating into neurons was definite.

Objective To understand AIDS related knowledge and behaviors among female sex workers(FSWs) and their male clients from the same community.Methods One hundred and seventy seven FSWs and one hundred and fifty four male clients were recruited from entertainment venues in the same community by random sampling,and anonymous questionnaires were administered separately.Results(1)Over 80% of FSWs and their male clients understood the basic routes of HIV transmission,but many of them were unclear about non-HIV transmission routes.(2)97.7% of FSWs and 84.2% of the male clients used condoms during their commericial sexual intercourse.The frequency of using condoms during sex with casual or regular sex partners was lower than that during the commercial sexual intercourse(P

Thirteen albino rats with body weight approximately from 0.4～0.6 kg were used in the experiment. Each was injected with 0.1 ?l of 30％ HRP (Sigma Type Ⅵ) solution into one of several portions of the cingulate gyrus. Two days after the injection, the animals were sacrificed and processed with Nauta's DAB and Edward's O-D methods. The results were as follows:1. Area 25 and 32 receive the fibers from areas 3, 1, 2 and globus pallidus on the ipsilateral side, and from areas 10, and 24, caudoputamen nucleus, lateral nucleus of the hypothalamus, intercavernous nucleus of the stria terminalis on both sides. The labeled cells were also found in areas 25 and 32 on contralateral side.2. Area 24 receives fibers from area 32 and the lateral part of the dorsomedial nucleus of the thalamus on the ipsilateral side, and from area 10, the anterior olfactory nucleus, caudoputamen nucleus, and septal nucleus on both sides and from areas 4 and 24 on the contralateral side.3. Areas 23 and 29 receive the fibers from areas 24,17, and 18 on the ipsilateral side, and from areas 23,29,32,25 and rostral part of the linear nucleus on the contralateral side.The results prove that the cingulate area widely receives the afferent fibers from cortex, thalamus, hypothalamus and midbrain.

Objective To explore the role of Hippo pathway in the pathogenesis of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease (ADPKD),and find potential targets for drug therapy.Methods By means of immunofluorescence staining,Western blotting,Real-time PCR,the differences of sublocalization,expression and phosphorylation level about Hippo pathway molecules in Han:SPRD (cy/+) and ADPKD patients compared with the control were observed.Knockdown Yes kinaseassociated protein (YAP),transcriptional coactivator with PDZ binding motif (TAZ) and large tumor suppressor kinase1 (LATS1) in cystic lining epithelium cell line WT9-12 were took by siRNA interference,and then their effects on cell proliferation,apoptosis and cell cycle were assessed.Results In cystic lining epithelium of Han:SPRD(cy/+),decreased expression of LATS1 and increased expression of YAP were found compared with the control,and the immunofluorescence of YAP was distributed both in cytoplasm and nucleus,while distribution and expression level of TAZ were without significant variance.Abnormal mRNA expressions of Hippo pathway components in ADPKD patients were found (P ＜ 0.05).Down-regulation of LATS1 in WT9-12 cells could prohibit phosphorylation of YAP,and prompted proliferation and cell division.Knockdown YAP in WT9-12 cells could inhibited cell proliferation by arresting cell cycle in G0/G1 phase,but down-regulating TAZ showed no significant differences in proliferation and cell cycle.Conclusions Altered Hippo signaling exists in ADPKD,and YAP activation may be one leading cause of autosomal dominant polycystic kidney disease onset.In vitro,knockdown YAP in WT9-12 cells can inhibit cell proliferation by arresting cell cycle and depressing cell division,suggesting the expression level and activity of YAP are potential targets for ADPKD treatment.

BACKGROUND: The expression of main histocompatibility antigen in cornea of rats is similar to that of human. It is verified in early experiments that penetrating corneal transplantation in rats is more repetition and reliability, and the operation difficulty is lower than that in mice.OBJECTIVE: To establish rat model of penetrating corneal transplantation and analyze the reasons of complications during model preparation and the corresponding managements and probe into the method for improving the success rate of rat model of corneal transplantation.DESIGN: Randomized controlled experiment was designed.SETTING: Department of Ophthalmology , Union Hospital, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology.MATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Department of Ophthalmology in Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology from March to May 2004. Seventysix outbred female Wistar rats of two months old were employed and randomized into experimental group and control group with 38 rats in each,without eye disease, of clean grade, body mass varied from 180 to 200 g and their right eyes were taken as acceptors. Thirty-eight SD female rats were employed and their both eyes were taken as donors. All of the animals were provided from Experimental Animal Center of Tongji Medical College of Huazhong University of Science and Technology.METHODS: Central penetrating corneal transplantation in situ was adopted and the model was established on the right eye of Wistar rat. Ten minutes before operation, tropicamide eye drops was administrated twice to amplify adequately the pupil of the right eye up to 4.0 mm. According to body mass, general anesthesia was done with abdominal injection of 3.0 mL/kg chloral hydrateand dicaine eye drops was applied twice 5 minutes before the operation with 0.1 volume fraction. Routine sterilization was done on the head of rat, the eyes kept in horizontal level and respiration kept smooth. The clip in dental-ophthalmology department was used to fix the posterior of the operated eye and make it to be semiluxated. The ring driller 3.5 mm in diameter was used to collect corneas of both eyes in SD rat as the implant tissue and place in culture dish with endothelial part upward, covered with methyl cellulose of 20 g/L mass weight concentration. The ring driller, 3.0 mm in diameter was used to collect the cornea of the right eye in Wistar rat to be the graft foreman, and the implant tissue was sutured into the graft foreman on the right eye of Wistar rat with 10-0nylon thread intermittently. Eight stitches were done in corneal transplantation in the experimental group and 6 stitches in the control group. After operation, ofloxacin eye drops was administrated and the operated eye was covered with plaster. Corneal rejection was observed and the evaluation was done in 3 items, named, turbidity, edema and neogenetic vessel. The total score of 3 items was taken as the rejection index on the day. Rejection was determined if the rejection index on the day ≥5 or corneal turbidity reached the 3nd grade. x2 and Fisher definite probability methods were used for statistical examination.plant tissue and corneal rejection.RESULTS: Of 76 Wistar rat acceptors, 5 rats were dropped out, among which, 1 rat was died accidentally after operation in the experimental group, 2 rats were died accidentally after operation in the control and 2 rats were injured cornea on the operated eyes due to fighting. But by supcomplications after corneal transplantation: In the experimental group, the number with anterior adhesion of sclera, non-round pupil; limited wound healing and non-formation of anterior chamber was lower than that in the implant tissue and corneal rejection: the survival time of corneal implant tissue was similar basically in both experimental group and the control [(8.9±2.3), (8.6±2.3) days, P ＞ 0.05]. Rejection presented in both groups in 16 days after corneal transplantation and the incidence of rejection was 100%.CONCLUSION: With stitches maintained and without intervention, the acute rejection is similar in rat corneal transplantation and human corneal transplantation. It is explained in the experiment that 8 stitches in corneal transplantation in which the rat implant tissue of 3.5 mm matches graft foreman of 3.0 mm can reduce the complications of rat corneal transplantation and becomes a satisfactory animal model of corneal transplantation.Skillful microscopic operation techniques, satisfactory operation instruments and adequate amplilfied pupil can reduce to the most extent the postoperation complications in rats.
