Objective To expore the mechanism of low-dose interfone-γ(IFN-γ) influences on differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cell. Methods The cerebral cortex samples were obtained from one day old SD rats to form mixed single cell suspensions. After culturing in full medium for 7 to 10 days, succession and differential velocity adherent technique were performed to acquire oligodendrocyte precursor cell and cultured in serum-free medium. IFN-γ, AG490 and Fludarabine were added during the culture of oligodendrocyte precursor cell and reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction, Western blot and flow cytometry were performed to evaluate the expression of intracellular P27kip1 and its influence on the differentiation of oligodendrocyte precursor cell. Results (1)The expression of P27kip1 mRNA and protein was lower in IFN-γ group than in control group (t=85. 535, P<0. 05;t= 12. 481, P<0. 05), while the expression of P27kip1 mRNA and protein in IFN-γ+AG490 group and IFN-γ+Fludarabine group were both higher than those in IFN-γ group (P<0. 05). (2) The phosphorylation levels of JAK2/STAT1 in INF-γ group were higher than that in the other three groups (P<0. 05). (3) The percentage of myelin basic protein positive cells was (68. 42 ± 2. 53)% in IFN-γ group, lower than that in control group [(88.21 ± 1.97)%](t=10.682, P < 0.05). Myelin basic protein positive cells in IFN-γ + AG490 group were (57. 63 ±2. 75) %, lower than those in the IFN-γ group. The same figure in IFN-γ+Fludarabine group were (79. 53±4. 15)% , higher than those in IFN-γ group (t = 3.957, P<0.05). Conclusions Low-dose IFN-γ can regulate the expression of intracellular P27kip1 through JAK2/STAT1 signal transduction pathway and Fludarabine may participate in this process and improve the differentiation and maturation of oligodendrocyte precursor cell.

Objective To investigate the protective effects and mechanisms of NF-KB inhibitor pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) on infant rabbits with lung injury caused by mechanical ventilation. Methods Twenty healthy infant rabbits were randomly divided into four groups. (1) Mechanical ventilation (MV, with VT = 24 ml/kg);(2) Mechanical ventilation plus PDTC pre-treatment (MVP, VT = 24 ml/kg with PDTC 100 mg/kg injection via ear vein half an hour prior to MV) ; (3) Mechanical ventilation combined with endotoxin (EMV, 0.1 ml/kg of endotoxin dripping into trachea then on MV, VT = 24 ml/kg) ; (4) EMV plus PDTC pretreatment (EMVP, PDTC 100 mg/kg injection via ear vein followed by 0.1 mg/kg of endotoxin dripping into trachea in half an hour then on MV with VT = 24 ml/kg for 4 h continuously. MPO and the activation of NF-κB in lung tissues and the genetic expression and protein quantity of TNF-α and IL-8 in homogenate were measured. The pathological changes in lung tissues were examined. Results Pre-treatment with PDTC had significant minor pathological changes caused by MV and MV plus endotoxin, which were indicated by the fact that MPO, activation of NF-KB and the genetic expression and protein quantity of TNF-α and IL-8 were significantly suppressed. Conclusions PDTC could decrease the expression, synthesis and release of pro-inflammatory cytokines. This may be through suppressing the activation of NF-κB resulting in less infiltration with inflammatory cells and protective effects on lung injury caused by MV and MV plus endotoxin.

To investigate the effect of retention-enema of Bowels-Unblocking and Heat-Purging Mixture (BHM) combined with electro-acupuncture (EA) for peritonitis after operative.In admission order, 32 cases of acute diffuse peritonitis were allocated to group A and were treated with retention-enema of BHM and EA based on routine western medicine 6 hours after operation.Other 28 cases in group B were treated with routine western medicine only. Recovery time of bowel sound,passing flatus and defecation was observed after operation as well as post-operative complications, multiple organs dysfunction syndrome (MODS) and multiple organ failure (MOF).After operation, recovery time of bowel sounding,passing flatus and defecation was 20.32?4.34, 29.43?9.66 and 40.69?13.69 hours in group A respectively, which differed from 30.66?6.06, 40.66?17.33 and 66.48?17.58 hours in group B (P

Objectives:To study the colonic adaptation of short bowel rats by enteral nutrition plus fiber treatment.　Methods:The short bowel rats were randomized into two groups:feed by Pepti-2000(EN) and by Pepti-2000 plus fiber(EF);and another normal rats as control(CONT) group.The nutritional states and morphologic changes of the colon were investigated.　Results:From postoperative days(PODs) 15,the weight of EF group was increasing and greater than EN group after PODs 18.The net nitrogen balance in EF group was almost the same as CONT,but greater than EN group.All the mucosal thickness,villous height and surface area of the colon in EF group were greater than CONT and EN group(P<0.001).DNA index and percentage of S phase cells of the colonic mucous in study groups were higher than CONT group(P<0.05).Also the levels of colonic mucous IGF-1 mRNA in study groups were higher than in CONT group(P<0.05).　Conclusions:Enteral nutrition plus fiber can not only promote nutritional states;but enhance colonic adaptation to the short bowel rats.

Objective To investigate the expression of placental growth factor (PlGF) protein and mRNA in lungs of neonatal rats exposed to 85%hyperoxia, and to establish the relationship between PlGF and bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). Methods Forty-eight Sprague–Dawley neonatal rats were randomly exposed to air (control group)(n=24) and 85% hyperoxia (hyperoxia group)(n=24)within 12 h after birth. The rats were sacrificed at 3, 5 and 7 days after exposure (eight at each time) and their lungs were sampled. PlGF protein and mRNA expression in the lungs were determined by Western blot and real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) at 3, 5 and 7 days. Left lung tissue was used for morphological and histological observation with hematoxylin and eosin staining. Terminal air spaces and the secondary septa were counted manually under microscope. T-test was applied for statistics. Results Compared with the control group, morphological and histological analysis in the hyperoxia group revealed inflammatory cell infiltration, simplified alveolar structure, less alveolar, alveolar cavity expansion and thickened alveolar septum. Morphometric measurements showed that terminal air spaces and secondary septa were significantly fewer in the hyperoxia rats than those in the control group at 5 and 7 days (terminal air spaces:23.6±8.2 vs 33.1±6.2 and 28.5±9.2 vs 38.4±10.1, t=1.91, 2.53, all P<0.05;secondary septa:56.0±12.2 vs 78.3±8.2 and 75.4±12.2 vs 126.1±10.2, t=2.14, 2.72, all P<0.05). Real-time PCR showed that expression of PlGF mRNA increased significantly on day 3, 5 and 7 in the hyperoxia group compared with the control group (1.16±0.17, 1.34±0.15 and 1.65±0.19 vs 0.65±0.21, 0.47±0.11 and 0.46±0.17, respectively, t=1.93, 2.55, 2.79, all P<0.05). Western blot also showed that expression of PlGF protein on day 3, 5 and 7 in the hyperoxia group increased compared with the control group, but only being significant on day 3 (0.24±0.17 vs 0.09±0.01, t=2.44, P<0.05). Conclusions Hyperoxia (85%) exposure could increase PlGF protein and mRNA expression in the lungs of neonatal rats, likely contributing to pathogenesis of BPD, and might lead to pulmonary vascular developmental disorders in BPD.

Objectives To explore the influence of standardized treatment and technical flow improvement on the diagnosis and treatment of congenital diaphragmatic hernia (CDH) after prenatal diagnosis. Methods The clinical data of neonates diagnosed with CDH who were hospitalized in neonatal intensive care unit from January 2005 to August 2016 was analyzed retrospectively. Based on the start time of standardized treatment implementation, 93 cases of CDH hospitalized from January 2010 to August 2016 were divided into the intervention group while 15 cases of CDH hospitalized from January 2005 to December 2009 were divided into the control group. The survival rate and complications of clinical outcomes between two groups were compared. Results There was no significant difference in sex, gestational age, birth weight, Apgar score, and CDH position between two groups (P >0.05). The total survival rate was 81.7％ in the intervention group and 53.3％ in the control group, and there was statistical difference (P<0.05). The difference of mechanical ventilation mode and pneumothorax rate between two groups also had statistical difference (P >0.05). The median operation time in the control group was 4.5 h and the intervention group was 49.5 h. The postoperative survival rate was 61.5％ in the control group and 90.5％ in the intervention group, and the differences between two groups were significant (P >0.05). The first blood gas analysis of deaths cases in both groups showed that there were significant differences in pH and PCO2 values (P >0.05). Conclusions Optimization of the clinical management during perioperative period can improve the survival rate of CDH and reduce complications. However, the dead cases in the intervention group had more severe pulmonary hypoplasia.

[ Objective ] To investigate the therapeutic effect of Tonglieshu capsules (mainly composed of Radix Linderae, Semen Litchi, Semen Vaccariae, Rhizoma Corydalis, Rhizoma Sparganii, Rhizoma Curcumae, Herba Taraxaci, etc. ) for nonbacterial prostatitis. [Methods] Forty SD rats were randomized to 4 groups: normal control group (group A) , model group (group B), Qianlietong group (group C) and Tonglieshu, Capsules (group D). Except those in group A, rats in other groups were injected with Xiaozhiling Injection directly into the prostatic glands to establish nonbacterial prostatitis. After treatment with Tonglieshu capsules for 4 weeks, white blood cells counting, density of lecithin corpuscle and inflammatory cells infiltrating into interstitium and glandular lumen of prostatic tissues were observed. [Results] WBC counting was decreased and density of lecithin corpuscle increased in group D (P 0.05) . [Conclusion] Tonglieshu capsules has an effect in treating chronic prostatitis by decreasing the WBC counting, reducing infiltration of inflammatory cells and increasing the density of lecithin corpuscle in prostatic tissues.

Objective To retrospectively explore the incidence and causes of apnea after operation for retinopathy of prematurity(ROP). Methods The clinical data of 17 premature infants with operation for ROP(ROP group)and the other 23 premature infants without ROP(control group)were collected.The occurrence of apnea(time of onset and remission and original diseases) was recorded after operation in ROP group and at adjusted 37 weeks of gestational age in control group.Follow-up was conducted for 4 weeks,and the prevalences of apnea were compared between these two groups.Results There was significant difference in prevalenees of apnea between ROP group and control group ( 52.9%vs 21.7%,P<0.05).In ROP group,time of occurrence of apnea was (38±40)h after operation,and time of remission was (126±145)h after onset.Among the infants with apnea,there were 3 cases of pneumonia(33.3%),1 case of hypoglycemia(11.1%)and 5 cases with unexplained causes(55.5%). Conclusion Infants after operation for ROP are more prone to apnea,and pediatricians and ophthalmologists are required to collaborate in the perioperative care.

Objective To explore the effect of invigorating splcen and kidney methods on the pregnancy outcome of the intrauterine insemination (IUI) in infertile men with asthenospermia.Methods a total of 78 male infertility patients with spleen and kidney deficiency type were collected,all cases were randomly allocated into three groups,group A using methods of invigorating spleen and kidney,group B using Antioxidant therapy,and group C as the blank group.There are 26 cases in each group.One course of treatment lasts for 12 weeks.Before and after treatment,the changes of sperm quality index were analyzed by computer assisted sperm analysis (CASA) and sperm morphology.The pregnaucy outcome after IUI was followed up.Results After the treatment,sperm motility and sperm forward movement (PR) difference before and after treatment in group A with was statistically significant (P ＜ 0.05).The differences between patients with semen volume,sperm concentration,sperm morphology and sperm motility parameters before and after treatment in three groups were not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Clinical pregnancy rate and cumulative pregnancy rate and the live birth rate in group A were higher than that of group B and group C,but the difference was not statistically significant (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Invigorating spleen and kidney method can improve the sperm motility and forward movement speed of the type of patients for the treatment of male infertility patients with asthenospermia,and it is helpful to improve the pregnancy outcome of the IUI.

AIM:To explore the ability of different group B streptococci ( GBS) strains on inducing platelet activation.METHODS:Six strains of GBS, separated from the septic patients with thrombocytopenia, were used as the inducers.Light transmission aggregometry was used to measure platelet aggregation.Scanning electron microscopy ( SEM) was performed to investigate the interaction of platelets with bacteria.The expression of platelet CD62P, Toll-like receptor 2 ( TLR2) and TLR4 was determined by flow cytometry and Western blotting.Furthermore, the activity of platelet TLR2 (or TLR4) was blocked by anti-TLR2 (or anti-TLR4) monoclonal antibody, and the platelet aggregation induced by GBS was detected.RESULTS:Only 3 of 6 GBS strains isolated from the septic patients induced platelet aggregation and up-regulated the expression of CD62P and TLR2 in the platelets (P<0.05), but not TLR4.Incubation with anti-TLR2 anti-body, but not anti-TLR4 antibody, significantly blocked platelet aggregation induced by GBS.CONCLUSION:Some GBS strains from the patients are able to trigger platelet activation in vitro, and platelet TLR2 may play an important role in the interaction between GBS and platelets.
