Objective To observe the growth and the development of primordial spermatogenic cells by allografting Kun-ming neonatal mouse testes into athymic nude mice.Methods Neonatal mouse testes were grafted under the back skin of nude mice (n=29). Grafts were taken out at the post-grafting day 30-110 and observed on the growth and the appearance, the structure of seminiferous tubules as well as the development of spermatogenic cells and the stage of seminiferous epithelium.(Results) The graft growth in all 29 recipient animals was observed, and the mass of grafts was significantly increased from (0.73)?(0.05) mm in diameter and (5.67)?(0.72) mg in wet weight pre-grafting to (6.75)?(0.73) mm and (113.12)?(78.23) mg post-grafting, respectively. The structure of seminiferous (tubules) inside grafts was clearly seen under a light microscope. And the histological analysis (demons)-(trated) a complete spermatogenesis with all levels of spermatogenic cells including sperm and stage I-XII of the seminiferous epithelium could also be identified.Conclusion Neonatal mouse testes could continuously grow and develop under the back skin of castrated nude mice, which would therefore be a useful tool for investigations on the proliferative and developmental pattern of spermatogenic cells and the regulation mechanism of spermatogenesis.

Environmental Microbiology is an important basic course of Environmental Engineering.Its characteristic is content broad,quick development and strong practicality,thus this curriculum's teaching has certain degree of difficulty.Some suggestions and concrete measures about teaching reform,which included curriculum's course content,teaching method,experiment teaching and assessment methods were proposed in this paper.

Objective: A high performance liquid chromatographic method was established to simultaneously quantify the gallic acid, methyl gallate, albiflorin, paeoniflorin, 1,2,3,4,6-O-pentagalloylglucose, benzoylpaeoniflorin of red peony root, and white peony root. Methods: The content of six components from 32 batches of samples collected from different product areas and markets was determined and compared by means of this established method. The mobile phase comprised of acetonitrile and water containing 0.1% phosphoric acid. Flow rate was 0.8 mL/min and column temperature was 30℃. Chromatography was monitored at 230 and 270 nm. Results: The correlation coefficients between concentration and chromatographic peak area of gallic acid, methyl gallate, albiflorin, paeoniflorin, 1,2,3,4,6-O-pentagalloylglucose, and benzoylpaeoniflorin, respectively were over 0.9999 in the ranges of 0.7830-50.10, 1.094-70.00, 2.367-151.5, 7.823-500.6, 3.125-200.0, and 0.3480-22.25 μg/mL. The average recoveries of the six compounds were 102.1%, 98.88%, 99.25%, 100.4%, 104.2%, and 100.6%, respectively. Conclusion: All the contents of albiflorin, 1,2,3,4,6-O-pentagalloylglucose, gallic acid, and methyl gallate show a remarkable difference between Paeoniae Rubra Radix and Paeoniae Alba Radix. And the latter usually contains more monoterpene glycosides than the former dose except paeoniflorin. On the other hand, Paeoniae Rubra Radix, especially originating from Paeoniae veitchii always contains more polyphenols than Paeoniae Alba Radix dose.

The therapeutic effects and mechanisms of traditional Chinese kidney-tonifying drugs in treating osteoporosis have become the focus under study. Pharmacological studies have shown that traditional Chinese kidney-tonifying drugs are promoters for the proliferation of osteoblasts, inhibitors for the activity of osteoclasts, regulators for the estrogen level and its receptor, plays important roles in promoting osteogenesis and suppressing adipogenesis of marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs), modulating the function of OPG/RANK/RANKL system and the metabolism of calcium and phosphorus, as well as antioxidation. The anti-osteoporotic active ingredients and pharmacological action mechanism of traditional Chinese kidney-tonifying drugs are summarized from the perspective of molecular and cell biology in this paper, so as to provide references for the study of their mechanism of anti-osteoporosis and for the development of traditional Chinese kidney-tonifying and bone-strengthening drugs.

Objective To compare the effect of repairing large perimembranous ventricular septal defect (VSD) with a new continuous stitching and two classical methods. Methods From January 2005 to January 2008,321 cases with VSD were operated. All the cases were divided into 3 groups according to operational way, with discontinuous stitching in group A (70 cases), continuous stitching in group B(116 cases),new continuous stitching in group C (135 cases). All the patients were total corrected with hypothermic cardiopulmonary bypass. Results Group C had the shortest cardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp times [(48 ± 36) min and (26 ± 18) min]among the three groups (P < 0.05). Group C had not residual shunt and incidence rate was lowest among the three groups (P < 0.05). Temporary second degree auriculo-ventricular bolck (AVB) was found in the early stage and no third degree AVB among the three groups. Tricuspid regurgitation was higher in group A,but there was no significant difference between group B and group C. Follow-up was completed in a duration of 1-3 years and all the cases had a good health after discharged. Conclusions The new continuous stitching method has short eardiopulmonary bypass and aortic cross-clamp times. It has fewer residual shunt than other two classical methods and has no evidence of higher AVB occurrence.

Objective To construct a plasmid DNA encoding G glycoprotein of respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) and investigate the protective immune response against RSV infection. Methods Recombinant plasmid DNA of pcDNA3.1~G was constructed by standard RT-PCR based cloning procedure. The immunogenicity of recombinant G protein transiently expressed in HEK293 cells was detected by Western blot. BABL/c mice were intramuscularly immunized with pcDNA3.1~G. Samples of lung, sera, bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF) were collected before and after RSV challenge; virus titer in lung was detected by viral titration; sections of paraffin embedding lung tissues were stained by haematoxylin and eosin(HE) for histological analyses; sera anti-RSV IgG levels were examined by ELISA; Th1/Th2 cytokine were detected by ELISA kit, the T lymphocyte subsets of BALF was determined by immunefluorescence staining followed by flow cytometry. Results Plasmid DNA of pcDNA3.1~G was successfully constructed. The expressed target protein possesses immunogenicity. After challenge, pcDNA3.1~G immunized mice presented relieved pathological changes in lung as well as reduced lung viral titers. The RSV specific IgG was detected in sera of immunized mice. There was significantly increased number of CD25~+CD4~+ T cells in mice BALF. Conclusion We constructed a pcDNA3.1~G plasmid DNA vaccination which can induce evident protective cellular immunity against RSV infection in mice with the increased number of CD25~+CD4~+ T cell subpopulation.

Objective To evaluate the effect of transnasal optic nerve decompression for traumatic optic neuropathy in different surgery time. Methods The databases of the Cochrane library, Embase, PubMed, Wanfang Database, China Journal Full-text Database (CNKI), Weipu Database(VIP) were searched for retrospective studies and clinical controlled trials. The search words included traumatic optic neuropathy, TON, eye traumas, transnasal endoscopicoptic decompression, TEOND, decompression of optic canal and endoscopy. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, the data were extracted. The RevMan 5.3 was used to analyze the data. Results All of 1 087 studies were detected. Sixteen eligible studies were enrolled, including 803 eyes. Meta analysis showed that the recovery degree of visual acuity, curative effect in operation group within 7 d of trauma was obviously superior to the operation group 7 d after trauma (OR=2.78;95%CI:2.02-3.82;P<0.01). Conclusions Transnasal endoscopic optic nerve decompression in treatment of traumatic optic neuropathy should be operated as soon as possible, and it is better to operate within 7 d.
