The volatile components of roots and stems of Zanthoxylum nitidum were investigated by supercritical fluid carbon dioxide extraction (SFE-CO2) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry(GC-MS). Thirty-one and fifty-one compounds were identified in the supercritical extracts from roots and stems of Z. nitidum, respectively, and total twenty-seven compounds were the common constituents. Among them, the major constituents in root and stem supercritical extracts were spathulenol (18.49 and 26.18%), n-hexadecanoic acid (14.24% and 12.79%), ar-tumerone (6.95% and 8.88%), oleic acid (8.39% and 5.71%) and hexanoic acid (4.39% and 7.78%). The in-vitro MTT assay showed that the volatile components of roots and stems of Z. nitidum did not exhibited any cytotoxic activity against human cancer Huh-7 and normal IEC-6 cells. These results indicated the same nature of the volatile constituents in the root and stem of Z. nitidum. This investigation may provide further evidence for expansion of medicinal parts of Z. nitidum.

OBJECTIVETo compare the changes of nucleus pulposus after in vitro culture of rabbit whole intervertebral disc and spinal motion segment.

METHODSTwenty-one New Zealand white rabbits which were randomly divided into organ group with 8 rabbits and segment group with 13 rabbits. Fifty intervertebral discs and 50 spinal motion segments were harvested respectively under aseptic conditions from two groups. These specimens were maintained in organ culture with hyperosmotic media (410 mOsm/kg), then 10 discs of the two groups were observed respectively by HE staining, immunohistochemistry of collagen type III, proteoglycan content and cells viability of nucleus pulposus before culture and at 3, 7, 14, 21 days after culture.

RESULTSHE staining showed the intervertebral disc tissue structure remained intact after culture of 21 days organ group and 14 days segment group,but there was severely degenerated of 21 days segment group. The intensity value of type II collagen immunohistochemical staining in the nucleus pulposus were not changed significantly between 21 days organ group and 14 days segment group (P > 0.05), but the staining of segment group at 21 days became shallower, there was significant difference compared with before each time points and organ group at 21 days (P < 0.05). PAS/AB staining of proteoglycan of nucleus pulposus showed that there were not decrease of tinting strength of two groups within 7 days, but the strength weakened slightly of two groups at 14 days, and the tinting strength became weaker at 21 days segment group, the change is more obvious than the organ group. The intensity value of fluorescence staining of nucleus pulposus cells was not changed significantly within 7 days of two groups (P > 0.05), the intensity value decreased slightly at 21 days organ group and 14 days segment group, but there were no significant difference compared with before time points (P > 0.05) however at 21 days segment group the intensity decreased as cells viability of nucleus pulposus decreased,and there was a significant difference compared with before each time points and organ group at 21 days (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONIt is not obviously degenerated of the discs of organ group cultured within 21 days and segment group cultured within 14 days, but there was significant degeneration of the intervertebral disc of segment group after cultured 21 days, so the rabbit spinal motion segment can be used on research about the biomechanics of intervertebral disc as a vitro experimental model within 14 days.

Objective To investigate the correlation of T cell subgroups and natural killer (NK) cell's activity level of peripheral blood of the patients with refractory lymphoma. Methods Flow cytometry was applied to detect T cell subgroups' level and NK cell's activity of peripheral blood in 60 early cure lymphoma patients with chemotherapy before and 20 normal controls , after chemotherapy follow-up they were divided into 30 cases of difficult cure group and 30 cases of effective group. Results Compared with the normal controls, CD+4, CD+4/CD+8 and NK cell in lymphoma patients with chemotherapy before decreased (30.17±8.63 vs 46.52±1.39, t =12.218, P ＜0.05; 0.86±0.45 vs 1.64±0.05, t =11.225, P ＜0.05; 12.39±7.08 vs 19.29±0.84,t =6.365, P＜0.05), while CD+3 and CD+8 cell increased (76.14±10.71 vs 70.48±1.44, t =-3.439, P＜0.05;40.28±14.03 vs 28.35±0.73, t =-5.625, P ＜0.05). Compared with effective group, CD+4 CD+4/CD+8 and NK cell in difficult response group with chemotherapy before decreased (27.70±7.81 vs 33.13±8.82, t =2.163, P =0.036;0.67±0.27 vs 1.10±0.52, t =3.272, P =0.003; 9.87±6.60 vs 15.40±6.58, t =2.771, P =0.008), while CD+3 and CD+8 cell increased (79.67±8.18 vs 71.91±12.00, t =-2.540, P =0.015; 44.70±13.99 vs 34.98±12.41, t =-2.416,P =0.020). Conclusion The detection of T cell subgroups' level and NK cell' s activity in early lymphoma patients before chemotherapy may play a role to diagnose and predict the outcome of refractory lymphoma patients.

Objective:To synthesize the mental resilience of Chinese children tested with the Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents (RSCA)to evaluate its status as well as the research status. Methods:Four Chinese elec-tronic databases including China Biology Medicine disc (CBM),VIP Database,China National Knowledge Infra-structure (CNKI)and WangFang Database were searched from database established to December 2014. Literatures that reported the mental resilience status of Chinese children tested with RSCA were included. A statistical formula was used to synthesize means and standard deviations to get a total score;the standard mean difference (SMD)and 95% confidence interval (95%CI)of scores measured with RSCA scale were used to conduct meta-analyses usingthe software of Review Manager 5. 2 for comparison between different subgroups. Results:Thirty-nine studies with 16 493 children were included for the final analysis. Quantitative synthesis results showed that the average total score of Chinese children was (3. 3 0. 6 ). The status of psychological resilience was at a good level. The average psychological resilience scores of girls,not left-behind children,urban children,Han children and not-only-child were higher than those of boys [SMD (95%CI):-0. 09 (-0. 14--0. 05 )],left-behind children [SMD (95%CI):-0. 37(-0. 56--0. 19)],rural children [SMD (95%CI):0. 26(0. 13 -0. 38)],minority children [SMD (95%CI):0. 12(0. 04-0. 21)]and only-children [SMD (95%CI):0. 30(0. 16-0. 44)]respectively. Conclusion:The mental resilience of Chinese children is modest with internal diversity.

Objective: To explore the influencing factors of slow blood flow phenomenon after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI) in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI). Methods: Clinical and PCI angiographic data of 488 patients, who were diagnosed as AMI and received primary PCI in our hospital from Jan 2010 to Jun 2011, were retrospectively analyzed. Patients were divided into slow blood flow group (n=51, TIMI flow ≤ grade 2) and normal flow group (n=437, TIMI flow= grade 3). Their clinical characteristics between two groups were compared. Results: Compared with normal flow group, there were significant reductions in percentages of thrombus aspiration (75.3% vs. 60.8%) and application of platelet glycoprotein IIb/IIIa receptor antagonist (81.7% vs. 68.6%) during PCI, and significant rise in total length of implanted stents [(31.8±12.2) mm vs. (35.7±12.0) mm] in slow blood flow group, P<0.05 all. Multi-factor Logistic regression analysis indicated that percentages of thrombus aspiration during PCI and total length of stents were independent influencing factors for slow blood flow (P<0.05 both). Conclusion: Percentages of thrombus aspiration and total length of stents during PCI are independent influencing factors for slow blood flow.

Objective:To detect the change of composition of immune cells in the spleen of miR-126 knockdown(miR-126KD) mice and preliminarily explore its significance .Methods: The expression level of miR-126 in spleens of miR-126KD mice was deter-mined by Realtime PCR.And the total number of splenocytes was calculated.The pathologic morphology change of the spleen was observed by HE staining.And the changes on proportion of DCs ,macrophages cells ,γδ T cells and NK T cells,CD3+T cells and its subgroup ,as well as CD19+B cells in spleens of miR-126KD mice were analyzed by Flow cytometry and calculated respectively.The level of phosphorylated AKt and NF-κB was analyzed by Western blot assay.Results:Compared with those of WT mice ,the expression level of miR-126 decreased obviously ( P<0.05 ) and the total number of cells increased obviously in spleen of miR-126 KD mice ( P<0.05).Moreover,the pathologic morphology of miR-126KD mice was significantly changed.The proportion and number of NK T cells in the inherent cells were significantly increased ( P<0.05 ) , but the proportion of Mφcells were significantly decreased ( P<0.05 ) . Meanwhile,the proportion and number of CD3+T cells and CD4+T cells in the adaptive immune cells were significantly increased (P<0.05),while the total number of CD19+B cells were significantly decreased (P<0.05).Last,the level of phosphorylation Akt and NF-κB increased obviously in spleen of miRNA-126 knockdown mice.Conclusion: Change obviously on the composition of immune cells subsets in the spleen of miRNA-126 knockdown mice ,which it may be related to the altered level of phosphorylated AKt and NF-κB and provides a preliminary experimental basis for the further exploring the roles of miR -126 in immune response.
