Objective To investigate the effects of rhGH on rat model of postoperative fatigue syndrome (POFS) and to study its mechanism. Methods A total of 36 SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups. The model group and rhGH group were estalished into the model of POFS by partial resection of the liver, and administrated with the same volume of physiological saline and rhGH, and control group was without any treatment. The behavioral changes and the disorder of nutrition intake after operation, stress reaction (pathological changes of mucous membrane in small intestine) and the liver albumin expression were observed. Results The rhGH could improve behavioral changes of rat model and increase the serum levels of the iron, total protein, albumin and globulin as the index of nutrition, and restore the injury of the mucous membrane resulted from the stress reaction and increase the expression of the liver albumin. Conclusion rhGH can shorten the time of POFS and mitigate POFS of rat model.

Objective To establish and assess a model of abdominal postoperative fatigue syndrome (POFS) in rats. Methods After 70% hepatectomy was performed, the following observations of the animals were made:general condition, rat tail suspension test,weight carrying swim fatigue test,serum levels of albumin,ferrition,and iron,pathologic assessment of injury of small intestinal mucosa and hepatic albumin gene expression .Results After 70% hepatectomy of the rats,their general candition was poor,the level of physical tolerance decreased,they showed a certain amount of depression,and marked changes were found in nutritional index,stress injury of small intestinal mucosa and hepatic albumin gene expression.Conclusions A 70% hepatectomy rat model has the basic characteristics of clinical abdominal POFS, and can be used as an experimental animal model for the study of abdominal POFS.

Periphral lymphocytes suspended in RPMI-1640 were incubated in plates of 96 wells for 96 hours with 50 ?g/ml of PHA, various concentrations of LDL-ch and0.6 ?M of mevinolin (experimental) or equal volume of its solvent-dimethyl sulfoxide (control). 6 hours before harvesting cells, 0.5?Ci of ~3H-TdR was added to each well, then cells were harvested and their cpm counted. The LDL receptor activity was expressed as mevinolin-mediated lymphocyte proliferation inhibition rate which can be calculated by the following equation:Percent Inhibition Rate=(1-cpm exp./cpm con.)100%.It was found that the lymphocyte proliferation inhibition rate at 5?g/ml of LDL-ch was less than 20% for normal and non-FH hyperlipidemic subjects, 25-55% for FH heterozygotes and over 60% for FH homozygotes. Thus, FH patients were distinguished from normal subjects and non-FH hyperlipidemic patients.

The tumorigenesis of breast cancer is a multistep process with many factors.The microRNAs (miRNA) participates in the development and distance metastasis of tumor by regulating proliferation,apoptosis and migration of tumor cells.The study of the mechanisms that miRNA impacting breast cancer cell proliferation and metastasis may provide new ideas for the diagnosis and treatment of breast cancer.

BACKGROUND: There exists a close relationship between the expression of scavenger receptor(SR) and CD14 and the endotoxic lung injury. To further detect the expression of these two receptors and their relationship is helpful to disclose the receptor mechanism of lung inflammatory disequilibrium so as to provide a possible theoretical foundation for sepsis therapy.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of CD14 and SR in murine alveolar macrophages and their effect after trauma and traumatic endotoxin challenge.DESIGN: Randomized and controlled experimental study.SETTING: Fourth Laboratory(a state key laboratory), Trauma, Burns and Combined Injury, the Research Institute of Field Surgery, Daping Hospital,the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was completed in the Research Institute of Field Surgery of Daping Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from August 2001 to November 2001. Totally 63 Kunming mice with murine alveolar macrophages were used in the experiment.METHODS: The experimental animals were randomly divided into three groups including control group, trauma group and traumatic endotoxin challenge group. The model mice with both femur fracture and endotoxin challenge were used. Endotoxin at a dose of 5 mg/kg was injected one hour after fracture via tail vein and the dynamic expression of CD14 and SR in murine alveolar macrophages (AM) was detected.RESULTS: Six hours after trauma, the expression of CD14 and that of SR in AM showed the tendency of up-regulation and down-regulation respectively. Furthermore, the post-traumatic endotoxin challenge induced CD14up-regulation and SR down-regulation drastically. Correlation analysis indicated that CD14 and SR showed a significantly negative relationship.CONCLUSION: The study suggested that the dual modulation of CD14 and SR in AM is possibly related with the change of "self-control" to "out of control" of inflammatory reactions in the lungs after endotoxic challenge. The dual regulation of the effective antagonists CD14 and SR are helpful in further understanding lung injury and its repairing mechanism.

ObjectivesTo explore the clinical manifestations and treatment ofMycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) combined with venous thrombosis.MethodsThe clinical manifestations and treatment of MPP combined with venous thrombosis were retrospectively analyzed.ResultsTwo male patients were 5 years 2 months and 3 years 6 months old respec-tively. After treatment with erythromycin, corticosteroids, immunoglobulin, bronchoalveolar lavage and thrombolytic, both cases were cured. Conclusions It is necessary to pay attention to the occurrence of thrombosis in MPP. Early diagnosis and treatment of thrombosis is very important for the prognosis. The prevention of thrombosis needs to be further studied.

Objective To investigate the value of prevention of cerebral ischemia with multi-modality neuroelectrophysiological monitoring in intracranial aneurysm embolization. Methods The clinical data of 44 patients with intracranial aneurysm treated with endovascular embolization from May 2013 to June 2014 were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into two groups according to whether they used intraoperative neuroelectrophysiological monitoring. There were 21 patients in a monitoring group and 21 in a non-monitoring group. According to the site of the aneurysms,somatosensory evoked potential ( SEP),motion evoked potential( MEP),scalp electroencephalogram,and brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP)were monitored,and at one day after procedure,their newly developed neurological deficits and the follow up observation after 3 months in both groups were compared and analyzed. Results The intraoperative SEP,MEP,and scalp EEG changes in the monitoring group were observed in 9,3 and 4 patients,respectively. Timely preventive measures were taken for 9 of the patients with cerebral ischemia revealed by neuroelectro-physiological monitoring. At the first day after procedure,the incidence of patients with new neurological deficit was 17. 4%(4/23)in the monitoring group,and that was 47. 6%(10/21)in the non-monitoring group. There was significant difference between the 2 groups(χ2 =4. 623;P<0. 05). There was significant difference in the good prognosis rates(87. 0%[20/23]vs. 57. 1%[12/21])after 3-month follow-up (χ2 =4. 919;P<0. 05)between the 2 groups. There were no deaths in both groups. Conclusion Multimode in combination with neuroelectrophysiological monitoring may decrease ischemic complications in aneurysm interventional treatment and improve the safety of procedure.

Objective To investigate and understand the reference value range of hematological parameters for peripheral blood routine in preschool children from Shanghai.Methods The Sysmex XS-800i automated hematology analyzer and the original rea-gents were used to measure the hematological parameters in peripheral blood samples collected from 7 692 healthy preschool chil-dren aged 2-6 years in Shanghai,including white blood cells(WBC),red blood cells(RBC),platelet(PLT)count,hemoglobin(Hb), hematocrit(HCT),mean corpuscular volume(MCV),mean corpuscular hemoglobin(MCH)and mean corpuscular hemoglobin con-centration(MCHC);the various parameters in different age groups were collected and statistically processed to establish the refer-ence intervals for each parameter.Results In the blood routine among preschool children in Shanghai,there were statistically signif-icant differences in all parameters except WBC and PLT count between sexes among preschool children in Shanghai(P <0.05).The reference intervals of hematological parameters obtained in this investigation were obviously differed from those offered by the man-ufacturer.However,compared with those from the related reports,the difference existed in partial parameters,the upper limit of WBC count was highest compared with the results from some areas,while the reference value ranges of MCV,MCH and MCHC were higher than those of other area study results.Conclusion The independent blood routine medical reference value range for preschool children in Shanghai should be established and the influence of the factors of gender,instrument and reagents also should be taken into consideration in establishing the reference value range.

In this paper, we studied the kinetics of nitochondrial lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and solubilized mitochondrial LDH in the rat liver. The apparent Km values of mitochondrial LDH and solubilized mitochondrial LDH for substrate pyruvate were 50.0 ?mol/L and 33.8 ?mol/L, and those for NADH were 35.3?mol/L and 21.4 ?mol/L, respectively. The apparent Km values of mitochondrial LDH were greater than those of solubilized nitochondrial LDH. The mitochondrial LDH in the rat liver was mainly LDH-5, which could be solubilized by 0.15 mol/L NaQ solution.
