Objective To study the effects of industrial wastewater containing chromium from Anyang Bicycle Works (ABW) on the mutagenicity of ground water and drinking water. Methods The ground water samples were collected from wells located on the southwest of the pollution source of ABW, near the gate of ABW(A) and at a distance of 60 m from the east of ABW(B) respectively, and also from the following sampling points closely located along the lower reach of sewage ditch: cigarette work(C), iron alloy works(D), match works(E), chemical and chemical fiber works(F). The raw water and finished water samples were collected from water plant. The contents of chromium(Cr6+) in water samples were measured and the mutagenicity of the water samples were tested by Vicia faba root tips cell micronucleus test. Results The contents of Cr6+ in ground water samples showed a decreaseing trend (0.358 5-0.010 0 mg/L) with the increasing distances from the sampling points to the pollution source of ABW, the order of which was the following: A, B, C, D, E, F. The contents of Cr6+ in ground water samples collected from the gate of ABW and the location at a distance of 60 m from the east of ABW exceeded the related standard 6.17 and 2.08 times respectively.The contents of Cr6+ in raw water and finished water samples were 0.0123 and 0.0095mg/L respectively.All of the water samples except that from the chemical and chemical fiber works showed higher micronucleus rates in different degree compared with that of negative control. Statistically significant higher micronucleus rate was only observed in water sample from match works compared with that of negative control (P

Objective To assess the value of CT in the diagnosis of PRF,and analyze the reason of misdiagnosis. Methods Retrospectively analyze the CT data of ten patients with retroperitoneal fibrosis,which were confirmed by the clinical pathology.All the patients underwent CT scan and enhanced scan.Two experienced physicians using the blind method to evaluate the location, boundary, density, invasion on the surrounding tissue and enhancement of retroperitoneal fibrosis lesions respectively.Results All patients with CT scan findings were retroperitoneal irregular-shaped soft tissue lesions,which was similar to muscle density.6 cases with surrounding the retroperitoneal vessel, 2 cases with expansion and hydrops of renal pelvis and ureter.By enhanced scan,9 cases with different degrees of enhancement,1 case without obvious enhancement.6 cases were misdiagnosed as retroperitoneal schwannoma or lymphoma. Conclusion CT can show the characteristics of retroperitoneal fibrosis. Comprehensively analyze various imaging findings is helpful for the diagnosis of retroperitoneal fibrosis. Misdiagnosis reason is mainly due to retroperitoneal fibrosis is a rare disease,and understanding of this disease in imaging findings is insufficient in the daily work.

Aim To establish a reliable method for the culture of mouse smooth muscle progenitor cells and in-vestigate their migration ability .Methods Mesenchy-mal stem cells from compact bones were obtained from C57 BL/6 mice and stimulated with PDGF-BB to in-duce these cells to differentiate into smooth muscle pro-genitor cells. Morphological analysis , immunocyto-chemical and flow cytometric analysis were used to i-dentify the cell type and the migration ability was in-vestigated by the transwell system and flow cytometry . Result After PDGF-BB stimulation for 7 days, the cells showed spindle shape and started to express α-SMA as demonstrated by immunocytochemistry .After 21 days induction , Flow cytometric analysis revealed that over 70%of the cells expressed both CD 34 andα-SMA and 58.5%of the cells expressed SM-MHC.Mi-gration assay showed that the smooth muscle progenitor cells from culture could migrate in vivo and in vitro. Conclusions The culture of smooth muscle progenitor cells from compact bone-derived mesenchymal stem cells is easily operated with high yield rate and shorten culture period . Obtained smooth muscle progenitor cells from culture could migrate in vivo and in vitro, which is suitable for the mechanism studies .

Objective To explore the underlying mechanism of potential effect of sildenafil on porcine pulmonary artery smooth muscle cells (SMCs) proliferation induced by serotonin. Methods Porcine pulmonary artery SMCs at 3-5 passages were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group (CON), 5-HT group (HT), sildenafil group (SIL) and sildenfil-5HT combined group (S-HT). Pulmonary artery SMCs at exponential growth phase were serum starved with 0.2% FBS for 72 h, followed by sterile PBS, serotonin (10 μmol/L) and sildenafil (1 μmol/L) incubation in CON group, HT group and SIL group, respectively. In combined group (S-HT): pulmonary artery SMCs were serum starved and then exposed to sildenafil for 20 min, followed by serotonin incubation for indicated time. The phosphorylation of extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK1/ERK2) was measured by Western blot at indicated time points. Flow active cell sorting (FACS) was used to evaluate the ratio of S phase cells in the cell cycle after 24 h of treatment. MTT color metric method was used to analyze SMCs proliferative index after 72 h of treatment. Results Compared with CON group, the phosphorylation of ERK1/ERK2, the percentage of cells in S phase, and the cell proliferation index increased remarkably after incubation with 5-HT (P<0.05). Preincubation with sildenafil followed by serotonin enhanced the phosphorylation of ERK1/ERK2 (p-ERK1/ERK2) and further elevated the percentage of cells in S phase and the cell proliferation index compared with that of HT group. While the total ERK1/ERK2 (t-ERK1/ERK2) was not statistically different among these groups. Conclusions Sildenafil potentiates the proliferative effect of serotonin on pulmonary arterial SMCs via upregulating phosphorylation of ERK1/ERK2.

Objective:To investigate relationships between serum chemerin and bone mineral density (BMD) in patients with newly diagnosed Graves disease (GD).Methods:A total of 120 newly diagnosed GD patients with a course more than 3 months were enrolled from the Department of Endocrinology between June 2013 and June 2015.Sixty age-and sex-matched healthy people served as a normal control.Serum levels of chemerin,β-crosslaps (β-CTX),and N-MID-osteocalcin (N-MID-OT) were measured by ELISA.Fat mass and BMD were evaluated by dual energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA).Results:Compared with the normal control,the fat mass,lean weight,fat mass index (FMI) and body mass index (BMI) in the GD group were decreased,and BMD in all skeletal sites was decreased.There was a positive correlation between them (all P<0.05).Serum level of chemerin was increased and it was positively correlated with β-CTX or N-MID-OT level and negatively correlated with fat mass,FMI or BMI in the GD group.There was a negative correlation between chemerin level and BMD in femoral neck,total hip,lumbar or right forearm distal 1/3 (rs=-0.352,-0.279,-0.379,-0.289,-0.394;P<0.05).After adjusting for age,fat mass or BMI,the correlation of chemerin with total hip or bone mineral density remained significant (rs=-0.273,-0.378;P<0.05).Multiple linear regression analysis revealed that chemerin or BMI was correlated with BMD (P<0.05).Conclusion:The decrease of bone mineral density in patients with GD is not only related to the direct or indirect effect of excessive thyroid hormones on systemic and osteoblastic cells,but it is also related to the negative regulation of bone metabolism due to the elevated chemerin level.

Objective To investigate the effects of splenctomy on the idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura (ITP) patients. Methods 9 patients with ITP were involved in the present study,who were performed with splenecto-my because of refractoriness, contraindicatiun and intolerance during corticosteroids therapy.

After follow-up for 6 months,there were 7 cases having marked improvement, and the total effective rate was 88.9%. Conclusion Splenectomy is a recommendable method for ITP, expecially for those are inefficient,incompatible and intolerated to continually pharmacotherapy.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the improvement effects of andrographolide dripping pills combined with Danxi yup-ingfeng granules on immunologic function of children with allergic rhinitis(AR). METHODS:Two hundred and eight AR children were randomly divided into control group,observation groupⅠ,observation groupⅡ,observation groupⅢ,with 52 cases in each group. Control group was given Loratadine syrup 10 mL,qd;observation groupⅠwas given Danxi yupingfeng granules 15 g,bid+Andrographolide dripping pills 0.6 g,tid;observation groupⅡwas given constant dose of Andrographolide dripping pills;observa-tion groupⅢwas given constant dose of Danxi yupingfeng granules. Four groups were treated for 2 weeks. 2 weeks later,they were given Loratadine syrup orally if the symptom appeared again. The levels of IgE and Th1/Th2 were compared among 4 groups be-fore treatment,1,2 weeks after treatment,3 months after the end of treatment. The children receiving Loratadine syrup orally due to the recurrence of AR 3 months after the end of treatment were observed. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in serum levels of IgE and Th1/Th2 among groups(P>0.05). One week after treatment,serum levels of IgE and Th1/Th2 were improved significantly,with statistical significance (P<0.05);but there was no statistical significance among 4 groups (P>0.05). 2 weeks after treatment,serum levels of IgE and Th1/Th2 were improved significantly,and the observation groups were significantly better than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Three months afterthe end of treatment,serum lev-els of IgE and Th1/Th2 in observation group were improved significantly and better than control group,with statistical significance (P<0.05);there was no statistical significance in control group,compared to before treatment(P>0.05). The recurrence rate of ob-servation groupⅠwas significantly lower than that of observation groupⅡ,observation group Ⅲ and control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 4 groups. CONCLUSIONS:Andrographolidume dripping pills combined with Danxi yupingfeng granules can effectively improve immunologic function of AR children and reduce recurrence rate with good safety.
