Objective To examine the expression of a- and ?-defensin genes in human peripheral leukocytes. Methods Fifty-one healthy blood donors were studied. Peripheral leukocytes were stimulated by lipopolysaccharide ( LPS) 100 ng?ml-1 ex vivo. The level of defensin mRNA expression in the leukocytes were assessed after being incubated with LPS for 0 (baseline), 1, 3, 6, 12, 24 h by semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Southern blot analysis and sequencing were used to confirm the identity of defensin gene transcripts. Results Expression of ?-defensin 1-3 mRNA was detected in all donors studied, but no ?-defensin mRNA expression was detected in peripheral leukocytes before LPS-stimulation. Expression of ?-defensin-1 gene was detected in the leukocytes after being incuaated with LPS for 3 h in 45 of 51 donors (88.2% ) and ?-defensin-2 mRNA expression was positive in 20 donors (39.2 % ), but no ?-defensin-3 mRNA expression was detected. The levels of ?-defensin-1 and-2 mRNA peaked at 6 h and started decreasing at 12 h. In contrast there was no significant change in ?-defensin 1-3 mRNA in peripheral leukocytes after LPS-stimulation. Conclusion In human peripheral leukocytes ?-defensin-1 and-2 genes are induced transiently by LPS-stimulation;whereas ?-defensin 1-3 genes are constitutive. The induced expression of ?-defensin-1 and-2 genes show inter-individual variability.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB) on monocyte HLA DR expression and immune function Methods Sixteen ASA Ⅱ Ⅳ patients [mean age (38 5?5 1)yr,mean body weight (42 9?10 2kg)] of both sexes (male 7,female 9) with rheumatic value disease undergoing mitral value replacement (11 patients) and mitral value and aortic value replacement (5 patients) with moderate hypothermic CPB were enrolled in this study Another ten patients undergoing lung lobectomy were used as control group Patients suffering from infection, immuno deficiency or receiving corticosteroid or immunoregulatory drugs were excluded Premedication included intramusallar midazolam 0 1mg?kg -1 and morphine 0 1mg?kg -1 Anesthesia was induced with intravenous midazolam 0 15mg?kg -1 , fentanyl 8?g/kg and vecuronium 0 1mg?kg -1 and maintained with isoflurane inhalation (0 8%~1 2%) and intermittent boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium The total dose of fentanyl was (18 3?3 2)?g/kg in CPB group and (9 6?1 3)?g/kg in control group CPB time was (74 2?22 5) min and aortic clamping time (57 5?19 2) min Blood samples were taken from CVP line before and 5 min after induction of anesthesia, before and after CPB and on the 1st, 3rd and 5th postoperative day for determination monocyte count and percentage of HLA DR + monocytes Results The number of monocytes decreased at the end of surgery but greatly increased on the postoperative days The percentage of HLA DR + monocytes also decreased at the end of surgery and decreased further on the 1st postoperative day but started increasing on the 3rd postoperative day In two patients who developed infection the percentage of HLA DR + monoeytes was lower than the average percentage of HLA DR + monocytes of the other 14 CPB patients In control group the percentage of HLA DR + monocytes also decreased significantly after operation but there was no significant change in the number of monocytes However there was a significant difference in monoeyte HLA DR expression between the two groups Conclusions The changes in monocyte HLA DR expression and monocyte count may be induced by impaired immune response after CPB and dynamic monitoring of monocyte HLA DR expression may help to predict complication of infection after CPB

ObjectiveTo study the correlation of personality dysfunction with resilience in secondary vocational students.MethodsBy adopting the questionnaire of Personality Dysfunction Inventory for Middle School Students (MPDI) and Healthy Kids Resilience Assessment scale (HKRA) to assess 358 secondary vocational students.ResultsThe secondary vocational student's scored lower on relationship dysfunction (4.15 ±2.67) than ordinary high school students'( 5.18 ± 3.37 ),and higher on behavioral deviation (6.07 ± 3.20) than ordinary high school students (5.18 ± 3.37 ).There existed great capable difference of total and every fact of personality dysfunction according to grade (P < 0.05,P < 0.01 ),and the quo of personality dysfunction on second year in high vocational school students was better than high and senior high vocational school students.Both parents of secondary vocational student's scored lower on relationship dysfunction( 3.96 ± 2.36),emotional deviation (3.96 ± 2.36 )and personality dysfunction( 15.50 ± 6.27 ) than Single-parent family of secondary vocational students ( 5.73 ±4.12,6.51 ± 3.72,19.78 ± 10.44).There existed great capable difference of total and every fact of personality dysfunction according to relationship with parents (P < 0.05,P < 0.01 ),and the more harmonious in parental relationship,the better in personality.There also existed great capable difference of total and every fact of personality dysfunction according to educational background of parents (P < 0.05,P < 0.01 ),and the higher degree,the better in personality.Personality dysfunction of Students of secondary vocational was negatives correlated with their resilience (Pearson correlation coefficient was between -0.064 and -0.345 for each pair).The linear regression showed thatthepeerrelationshippredictedpersonalitydysfunctionofsecondaryvocationalstudents.ConclusionThe personality dysfunction of secondary vocational students is affected by their parental relationships,educational background of parents,grade and resilience.

Objective To observe the antioxidative capability and the mRNA expression of sodium pump αl-subunit in kidney of hypothyroid rats by iodine deficiency and illuminate the pathogenesis of kidney damage.Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups as control group (NT) and hypothyroid group (HT).The rats were all fed with low-iodine diet derived from an endemic goiter area and drank deionized water containing different potassium iodide to duplicate hypothyriod animal models.We determined the morphometric parameters of kidney by routine histology method.The contents of malondialdehyde and free radical scavengers (GSH-PX and SOD) in kid-ney,as well as the activity of Na~+-K~+ ATPase were measured in two groups.The mRNA expression of sodium pump α1 subunit was determined by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction.Results Compared with that in the control group,in hypothyroid group (1) serum free T3,free T4,total T3 and total T4 were markedly lower.(2) mean glomerular area and volum diminished markedly.(3)the content of MDA and activity of PGx increased markedly,but the activity of SOD decreased significantly,as well as the one of Na~+-K~+-ATPase.(4)the mRNA expression level of sodium pump α1 subunit was lower.Conclusion In a hypothyroid state,the decrease of antiox-idative capability of kidney resulted in lipid peroxidative damage,atrophy of kidney,decreased activity of Na~+-K~+ -ATPase and degression of sodium pump α1 subunit mRNA expression.

Mitochondria DNA was isolated from darkgrown shoots of Xi Feng A according to the procedure reported previously. Mitochondria DNA was digested with EcoR1 completely, and ligated with pUC19 vector DNA which was digested with EcoR1. The ligated DNA was transformed into E. coli JM101. The transformants were selected on LB medium which containing ampicillin 50ug/ml. All of the bacterial clones were hybridized with 32P-labelled maize 26S rRNA gene, seven positive clones were obtained. The plasmid DNAs were isolated from the clones and digested with EcoR1 and southern transferred to NC paper. The membrance was hybridized with maize 26S rRNA probe. One clone which a shortest hybridization band (1.3kb) was named pXMT1.

OBJECTIVE:To establish the quality standard of Liyan mixture. METHODS:TLC was conducted to identify the Scrophularia ningpoensis,Terminalia chebula and Glycyrrhiza uralensis;HPLC was conducted to determine the content of chloro-genic acid. The column was Agilent Eclipse Plus C18 with mobile phase of methanol-0.2% phosphoric acid (18:82,V/V) at flow rate of 1.0 ml/min,the detection wavelength was 327 nm,column temperature was 30 ℃ and the injection volume was 20 μl. RE-SULTS:TLC showed S. ningpoensis,T. chebula and G. uralensis had clear spots and good separation. There was no interference for negative control. The linear range of chlorogenic acid was 0.16-1.6 μg(r=0.999 9);RSDs of precision,stability and reproduc-ibility tests were lower than 1.0%,recovery was 96.9%-101.4%(RSD=1.17%,n=9).
