To study effects of arachidonic acid (AA) on the growth and differentiation of rat adipocytes, a cells culture system of rat primary preadipocytes was established. The cells treated by different concentration of AA supplemented based on DMEM medium containing 10% fetal bovine serum. Cell proliferation was measured by trypan blue exclusion and methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium (MTT) assay method. Hoechst33342 fluorescence staining observed AA induced morphological changes. Oil Red O staining extraction assay assess the degree of adipogenesis and differentiation, and cyclooxygenases-2(COX-2) mRNA were detected by reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR). The results showed that rat preadipocytes treated with 120 μmol/L AA for 24-72 hours remarkably promoted the cells proliferation compared with control, 160 μmol/L AA treated for 48 hours could induce apoptosis of preadipocytes. 40, 80 μmol/L AA decreased the fat content in cells at 72 hours, and 40 μmol/L AA significantly up-regulated the expression of COX-2 mRNA at 24 hours. This results indicate that AA regulate adipocytes proliferation and differentiation depended on treatment time and concentration. 40-80 μmol/L AA maybe useful to control body fat, which may be associated with the increase of COX-2 mRNA.

With the increasingly tense doctor-patient relationship,the practice teaching of laboratory medicine has obviously been affected.For example,the practice teachings systems do not adapt to the updated situations,and practice teaching has been simplified and communication training ignored.In order to deal with these problems and ensure the goals of practice teaching,various measures have been taken in training hospitals.Firstly,the practice system has been further improved and implemented effectively by strengthening mobilization and adopting qualification licensing before practice and interaction practice between teachers and students and regular communication between school and training hospital during practice and strict assessment after practice.Secondly,medical ethics educations and laboratory biological safety have been strengthened.Thirdly,the modem automation and classic morphology should be integrated.Finally,the ability of communication between medical laboratory and doctor and patients should be cultivated,and so on.These measures are to ensure the effect of the practice teaching and cultivate excellent students.

OBJECTIVE: To provide reference for patients with type I incisions about rational use of antibiotics.METHODS: Between Oct.2007 and Mar.2008,a total of 1 024 medical records of patients with type I incisions from orthopaedics,common surgery,department of gynecology in 12 hospitals of Xining area were sampled for analysis of prophylactic use of antibiotics.RESULTS: 100.0% of the type I incision patients received prophylactic antibiotics;28.4% used antibiotics without indication;16.9% used antibiotics at 0.5~2 h before operation;33.4% used antibiotics at more than 2 h before operation;and 49.7% received antibiotics postoperatively rather than preoperatively.The irrational and nonstandard use of antibiotics manifested as improper in the choice of drug variety,nonstandard in drug combination,irrational in dosage and administration,prolonged use of antibiotics,lacking basis for the change of drug variety etc.CONCLUSION: The prophylactic use of antibiotics in patients with type I incisions from 12 hospitals of Xining area is far from perfect,therefore,it is urgent to strengthen the standard management on the use of antibiotics.

Objective To establish a double-antibody sandwich enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (DAS-ELISA) for the rapid detection of germ tube-specific antigens of Candida albicans,and to evaluate its specificity and sensitivity.Methods A DAS-ELISA was established with the monoclonal antibody McAb03.2C1-C2 as the primary antibody,and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) labeled McAb03.2C1-C2 as the secondary antibody.The established assay was used to detect germ tube-specific antigens of Candida albicans in sera from 5 patients with systemic Candida albicans infection and from 6 rabbit models at 12,24,48,72hours,on week 1,2 after infection with Candida albicans.Results A good liner relationship was observed between the absorbance value at 495 nm and antigen concentrations when the titer of McAb03.2C1-C2 was 1 ∶ 4000 and the concentration of coated antigen varied from 1.25 to 40 μg/ml.The specificity and sensitivity of the DAS-ELISA were 95% and 92% respectively in the detection of germ tube-specific antigens in the rabbit models.The results of detection with DAS-ELISA in serum specimens from the patients were consistent with those with the routine method.Conclusions A DAS-ELISA is primarily established for the rapid detection of germ tube-specific antigens of Candida albicans,and has shown a satisfactory sensitivity and specificity in the animal model experiment.

Journal of China Pharmaceutical University 2018;49(5):528-536
Microsphere as a drug delivery system with broad prospect for development and application has always been a research focus in pharmaceutics for its. Though literature survey of related papers published in domestic and foreign journals by Chinese authors in 2016, the research advances of materials of microspheres, which can be divided into natural polymer materials, synthetic polymer materials and inorganic materials, were summarized. Microsphere products at home and abroad were also analyzed. This review will provide some reference for correlative researchers.

Objective To observe the effect of Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) on the apoptosis of peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) of Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) patients and on the level of Th17 cells and IL-17.Methods The peripheral blood of 20 incipient SLE patients in active stage were taken,and PBMC were separated for cell culture.Using HCQ and Chlorambucil (CLB) as an intervention,and after cultured for 24 h and 48 h,the apoptosis of PBMC and the level of Th17 were tested using Flow cytometry (FCM),the supernatants were collected to test for the level of cytokine IL-17 by ELISA.One-way ANOVA was used and SNK-q was used in the comparison between every two groups.Results There was significant difference in the apoptosis rate of mononuclear cells between the HCQ and CLB group at 24 h [HCQ:(10.3±0.7)%,CLB:(8.5±1.1)%] and48 h [HCQ:(13.9±0.6)%,CLB:(11.8±0.8)%] (P<0.05).There was significant difference between HCQ [24 h:(0.81±0.13)%,48 h:(0.73±0.45)%] and CLB group [24 h:(0.78±0.26)%,48 h:(0.68±0.20)%] in Th17 percentage (P<0.05).The levels of IL-17 in the supematants of the HCQ group [24 h:(26.3±0.97)%,48 h:(24.2±0).91)%] and CLB group [24 h:(24.6±0.7)%,48 h:(22.6±1.1)%] were significandy different between the two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion HCQ has apoptosis-induction effect on PBMC,and it can decrease the number of Th17 and IL-17 level in the PBMCs.

Encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) ,named JZ1202 ,was isolated from domesticated boar in Henan ,China . We performed the full-length genome sequencing and molecular characteristic analysis of the isolated strain .Results showed that the full-genome sequence of EMCV JZ1202 generated a sequence of 7 735 bp in length ,and had 81 .2%-99 .9% nucleotide identity with other reference strains from different animals ,but 99 .4% with Chinese reference from pig .The phylogenetic tree was constructed based on the full-length genome;ORF and VP1 gene sequences identified EMCV was divided into G1 ,G2 and G3 groups ;the strain JZ1202 belongs to G1 with other Chinese reference strains .Results identified that the EMCV infection could cause severe clinical symptoms in domesticated boar .Big regional differences exist in EMCV and the transmission is limit-ed in a range of area .However ,cross infection and prevalence of EMCV disease between domesticated boar and mice might ex-ist .Mutation of some amino acid may occurred in EMCV infected domesticated boar .

AIM: To elucidate the relationship of inflammation, coagulation and cholesterol gallstone formation. METHODS: Hamsters were divided into four groups: control group (feeding normal diet), lithogenic diet (LD) 2 weeks group, LD 6 weeks group and LD+aspirin 6 weeks group. Gallstone incidence, antithrombin antigen (AT-Ⅲ:Ag), antithrombin activity (AT-Ⅲ:Ac), thrombin (F-Ⅱa:Ac), plasminogen activator inhibitor activity (PAI:Ac), plasmin activity (Plm:Ac), D-dimer:Ag and C-reactive protein (CRP) in gallbladder bile were observed as read-out parameters. RESULTS: The incidence of gallstones in control group, LD 2 weeks group, LD 6 weeks group and LD+aspirin group were 0%, 20%, 73% and 25%, respectively. AT-Ⅲ:Ag, F-Ⅱa:Ac, D-dimer and CRP in LD 2 weeks group and LD 6 weeks group were significantly higher than those in the control group (P
