Objective: To determine the molecular weight and purity of porcine platelet derived growth factor (pPDGF) and to investigate its effect on DNA synthesis of human umbilical vein endothelial cells. Methods: In the present experiment, the high performance liquid chromatography was used and the molecular weight and purity of pPDGF were studied. Human umbilical vein endothelial cells was cultured and effects of pPDGF on DNA synthesis of endothelial cells was observed by 3H TdR incorporation in vitro . Results: The findings of high performance liquid chromatography showed that the molecular weight of pPDGF was 29 120 and the purity was 89.46%, and pPDGF significantly promoted DNA synthesis of quiescent endothelial cells with a maximal response at a concentration of 40 ng/ml at 48 h. Conclusion: The molecular weight of pPDGF is 29 120, and it can promote DNA synthesis of cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells. [

Objective To explore the effect of iron chelators on labile iron pool and expression of apoptosis associated genes in cells of K562, an erythroleukemia cell line.Methods K562 cells were incubated at 37 ℃ in RPMI 1640 containing 10% heat-inactived fetal bovine serum in an saturated humidity and 5% CO_2 incubator. K562 cells were incubated with different concentrations of desferro-(xamine(DFO)). The study groups were divided as following: DFO group, iron+DFO group and the control group. Following indices were detected which included apoptosis by flow cytometry (FCM) assay, expression of Rb, c-myc, bax mRNA by RT-PCR. The intracellular LIP was measured with a fluorimetric assay using the metalsensitive probe calcein-AM.Results 1. The viability of K562 cells incubated with different concentrations of DFO was lower than that of control group at 12 h,24 h and 48 h (P

OBJECTIVE:To work out the quality control standard of Penqiangyan tablets.METHODS:The major herbs in the preparation were identified by TLC.The contents of total ferulic acid in Radix Angelia Sinensis and Rhizoma Chuanxiong were determined by HPLC.RESULTS:Ferulic acid had a good linearity in the range of1.244～124.4?g/ml(r=0.9984).The recovery and RSD were97.06%and1.44%(n=6)respectively.CONCLUSION:The method is simple and feasible and had a good repeatability.It can be used for the quality control of Penqiangyan tablets.

Hyperuricemia and metabolic syndrome were studied in 17 762 subjects of Tianjin Municipality from July 2007 to July 2009. The overall prevalence rate of hyperuricemia was 12. 16% (2160cases) , the rate in males was significantly higher than that in females (15. 71% vs. 6. 51% , P <0. 01).The overall prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome was 25. 56% (4540 cases) , the rate in males was also higher than that in females (28. 17% vs. 21. 40% , P <0. 01). Binary logistic regression analysis disclosed that females with high uric acid were twice likely to suffer from metabolic syndrome than males; and female ≤ 44 years with hyperuricemia had the highest odd ratio for metabolic syndrome.

Objective To discuss the metastasis principle of cervical lymph nodes in CN0 papillary thyroid carcinoma(PTC) and to define the proper surgery scope.Methods Clinical data of the 450 cases of CN0 PTC patients undergoing surgery from Feb.2008 to Feb.2011 in the First Hospital,Jilin University were retrospectively analyzed.Results There were 219 (48.67％) pN + cases and 231 (51.33 ％) pN0 cases.In CN0 PTC cases,lymph node metastasis was most commonly detected in area Ⅵ,about 46.22％ (208/450) (unilateral cancer 41.08％,bilateral cancer 58.09％).The lymph node metastasis rate was 4.44％ (20/450),6.00％ (27/450),and 8.89％ (40/450)respectively in area IIa,area Ⅲ,and area Ⅳ.The metastasis of lymph node was rare in Vb area,only about 2.22 ％ (10/450).No metastasis was found in the 2 cases undergoing area I lymph node dissection.When the tumor diameter was no less than 1.0 cm,capsule invaded or multifocal,male,＜ 45 years old,lymph node metastasis rate was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05).In addition,when the tumor was located at the upper pole of the thyroid,the lymph node metastasis rate was 33.57％ (48/143) in Ⅱa,Ⅲ,Ⅳ areas in the affected side.When the tumor was at the lower pole of the thyroid,the lymph node metastasis rate was 10.48％ (13/124)in the contralateral area Ⅵ.Conclusion Lymph node metastasis occurs most commonly in area Ⅵ in PTC,followed by area Ⅱ a,area Ⅲ,area Ⅳ.Routine lymph node dissection in area Ⅵ is recommended for the initial surgery.When the tumor diameter is ≥ 1.0 cm,thyroid capsule invasion is involved or more than 3 metastasized lymph nodes were found in area Ⅵ,the range of lymph node dissection should properly be expanded to area Ⅱa-Ⅳ.When the tumor is located at the lower pole of the thyroid,area Ⅵ in the contralateral side should be cleaned.If the tumor is located at the upper pole of the thyroid,area Ⅱa,Ⅲ,Ⅳ in the affected side should be cleaned.

Objective To explore the reason of misdiagnosis and discuss the reoperation in thyroid carcinoma.Methods The data of 77 patients that had reoperation because of misdiagnosis were analyzed.Results The daignosis of all 77 cases were only based on pre-operative physical and uhrasound examination.The post-reoperative follow up (3～41 monthes):no case was found local recurrence.Conclusions The preoperative frozen section may avoid misdaignosis and the effect of reoperation for misdaignosed cases are satisfactory.

Abstract: Objective　To investigate the prevalence and genetic characterization of Blastocystis in primary and middle school students in Baisha Li Autonomous County, Hainan Province, in order to understand the infection status of Blastocystis and its subtype distribution characteristics in this area. Methods　From March to November 2021, fecal samples were collected from two primary and middle schools in Baisha Li Autonomous County. Nested PCR targeting the SSU rDNA was employed in this study, sequence analysis were performed to determine the prevalence and subtype. A neighbor-joining tree was built using Mega 7. Meanwhile, the risk factors of the Blastocystis infection among different grades and genders were evaluated. Results　The infection rate of Blastocystis was 4.1% (13/314), there was no statistical difference in infection rates among genders and grades (P>0.05). Sequence analysis revealed that three Blastocystis subtypes were identified, namely ST3 (n=7), ST7 (n=4) and ST1 (n=2), all of which have zoonotic potential. Conclusions　This is the first report of the identification of Blastocystis in humans in Hainan at the subtype level, and provide the basic data for the prevention and control of Blastocystis in this area. The zoonotic subtypes identified in this area indicated more studies should be taken in humans and various animals, to better evaluate the transmission of Blastocystis and provide scientific support for the prevention and control of Blastocystis.
