Gross structure and ultrastructure of islet were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Results Islets ultrastructure on 7th day in bioreactor closely resembled fresh islets,with well-formed secretory granules and abundant mitochondria. SEM showed under microgravity islets communicating each other with cavity-like areas. Conclusions The ultrastructure of islets cultured under microgravity closely resembled fresh islets.

AIM: To study the molecular mechanism in modulation of expression of insulin receptor substrate-1 and-2 (IRS-1,-2) by estrogen and high concentration of insulin. METHODS: The 5′-regulatory regions of IRS-1 and IRS-2 gene were cloned into the pGL3 plasmid with luciferase reporter, and the clones were transfected into HeLa cells. The cells were incubated with estradiol (1 nmol/L) and high concentration of insulin (100 nmol/L). The relatively transcriptional activity of the 5′-regulatory regions of IRS-1 and IRS-2 gene was detected. RESULTS: It was found that the relatively transcriptional activity of the 5′-modulatory regions of IRS-2 reduced markedly after cells were incubated with 100 nmol/L insulin (P

AIM:To investigate the influence of ovariectomy and estrogen replacemeot treatment on profile of gene expression in myocardium by cDNA microarray,and to characterize the targeting genes of estrogen.METHODS:cDNA microarray containing 1 400 rat cDNAs was used to study the genes differentially expressed in myocardium between sham(Ⅰ),ovariectomy(Ⅱ,OVX)and estrogen replacement treatment(Ⅲ,OVX+E2)group.Then down-regulated genes in myocardium of OVX rats were further confirmed by RT-PCR.RESULTS:177 genes were differentially expressed in myocardium between sham and OVX rats,with 91 genes up-regulated and 86 genes down-regulated in OVX rats.164 genes were differentially expressed in myocardium between OVX and OVX+E2 rats,with 113 genes up-regulated and 54 genes down-regulated in OVX rats.There were 54 genes differentially expressed in OVX compared to sham and OVX+E2.They are involved in membrane channels and transporters(18),cell receptors(9),intracellular transducers/effectors/modulator(7)and metabolism(6).Most of the genes(45)were down-regulated in OVX rats and up-regulated in OVX+E2 rats.RT-PCR test confirmed the results of cDNA microarray.CONCLUSIONS:Long-term estrogen replacement may influence the expression of genes involved in membrane channels and transporters,cell receptors,intracellular transducers/effectors/modulator and metabolism.Long-term estrogen replacement has some beneficial effects on ionic concentration and cardiac function which partially comes from the results of influence of expression on Na+,K+-ATPase and Na+/H+ exchanger.Estrogen has an inhibitory effect on the expression of dopamine receptor,which partially clarify the myocardial protection of estrogen.

Objective:To investigate the wear resistance of four low-shrinkage commercial composite resins and two traditional composite resins in vitro and discuss the relative influencing factors, and to illustrate the inner relationship of the wear resistance of resins and material composition.Methods:Four low-shrinkage commercial composite resins including CLEARFIL MAJESTY Posterior(CMP), Filtek LS(LS), Admira(AD), Kalore(KA) and two traditional composite resins including Filtek Z350XT (Z350), Solitaire2(S2) were chosen.The bar-shaped specimens were fabricated and mounted in a UMT-2 wear testing machine and abraded with the two-body media (distilled water) with a Si3N4 ball as antagonist.The maximum wear depth was determined after 14 400 cycles.The friction coefficient was determined during the test.The worn surfaces were examined with SEM.Results:CMP showed the lowest maximum wear depth and KA presented the highest maximum wear depth.The maximum wear depth ranked as follows: CMP

Aimed at feasibility of microbiological control of Chironomidae larvae in sourcewater, Shenzhen, China, the functional characters of Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. Iaraelensis to Chironomus kiiensis tokunaga were studied for the first time. In this study, bioassays were carried out with third-instar larvae, results showed that the LC 50 s(24h) were 24.2 and 32.6 mg/L for Bacillus thuringiensis subsp. Iaraelensis IPS82 and 187 respectively. Tests in fermentation of IPS82 show good correlations between toxicity, cell density, dissolved oxygen and spore-forming phase. The tests on environmental factors influencing toxicity to Chironomus kiiensis tokunaga showed that sunlight is the most important factor, shortening the half life of Bti from 21 days in dark to 10 days; temperature variations(15～30℃) caused no impact on toxicity, but 35℃ increases 16% of larvae mortality. The toxicity of IPS82 is relatively insensitive to change pH deviated from 7 to 11, due to drop of larvae mortality from 66.7 to 40%, at pH of 3, to 16%; its toxicity is stable in low larva density (

AIM: To set up and evaluate a computerized image scoring system for quantification of posterior capsular opacification (PCO) that is independent of examinee.METHODS: The PCO model was made in rabbits. Following dilation of the pupil (＞6.5mm), standardized digital images of the PCO were obtained using slit-lamp photographic system(digital camera, computer included). PCO was scored by evaluating retroillumination photograghs. The PCO score was calculated by the formula: PCO score=∑ (OD×AI in CR)×2 +∑(OD×AI in OR), in which OD is opacity density (class 0 to 4),AI is the opacity area fraction, CR is the central region (diameter=3mm), OR is the outer region (3-6mm ring region).To evaluate the reliability of the scoring system, 6 examiners scored the pictures of 5 same eyes (interindividual reliability),and one examiner scored the pictures of 5 eyes on five different days (intraindividual reliability).RESULTS: The PCO scoring system was very reliable. With PCO score range from 0 to 1.5, the interindividual reliability showed standard deviation between 0.05-0.087. Kruskal-Wallis analysis showed no significant difference (H=0.314,P=0.9726). The intraindividual reliability showed standard deviation between 0.041-0.067, no significant difference either (H =0.613, P =0.9616).CONCLUSION: This PCO quantification analysis system evaluates the central area (diameter=6mm) of posterior capsule which is larger than visual acuity or other objective testing. The system revealed high reliability and insignificant investigator-dependent difference. With a standardized photographic setup, systematic errors by the photographic technique were not relevant. This system was proved to be an easy and useful tool to accurately evaluate PCO.

ObjectiveTo observe testis tissue changes of experimental cryptorchidism after orchiopexy in various-day-rats.MethodsSeventy-two Sprague-Dawley(SD) male rats were divided into 3 groups randomly and made artificial cryptorchidism:unilateral cryptorchidism group(n=24),bilateral cryptorchidism group(n=24)and sham operation group(n=24)at age 21-day-old.Intra-abdominal testicle was resetting in 2 weeks,at age 40 days and 60 days,the rats were sacrificed for detection tubular fertility index(TFI) and mean tubular diametar(MTD) with hematoxylin-eosine staining and germ cell apoptosis by terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase mediated d-UTP nick end labeling(TUNEL) assay.ResultsThere were significant differences of MTD,TFI and apoptosis index(AI) between cryptorchidism and scrotal testes(P0.05).The AI of cryptorchidism testes of unilateral cryptorchidism group were significantly lower than that of bilateral cryptorchidism group in 40 days(P0.05).ConclusionsAI of artificial resetting testis is increased and contralateral descended testes in unila-teral cryptorchidism have various damage.It is to lighten that pathological damage of testes of cryptorchidism with prolongation of reset time.
