AIM: To investigate the effects of apelin-13 on proliferation, migration and capillary-like tube formation of a monkey choroid / retinal endothelial cell line, RF/6A, to clarify whether apelin-13 could promote retinal angiogenesis in vitro.METHODS: RF/6A cells in good conditions were administrated with DMSO (the control group), apelin-13 at 0.1μmol/L (low dose group) or apelin-13 at 1μmol/L (high dose group).Cell proliferation, migration and capillary-like tube formation were detected by using the MTT assay, scratch assay and matrigel assay, respectively, at 24h after plating the cells.RESULTS: Cell proliferation was promoted in both low and high dose apelin-13 groups compared to the control cells (P<0.05);the cell migration distance of both apelin-13 groups was significantly greater than that of the control group (P<0.05);and the number of capillary-like tube structures of both apelin-13 groups was significantly larger than that of the control cells (P<0.05).In addition, cell proliferation, migration and tube formation increased as the concentration of apelin-13 increased.CONCLUSION: Apelin-13 could obviously promote the angiogenesis capacity of RF/6A cells, suggesting that apelin-13 was an important pro-angiogenic factor in retinal endothelial cells.

Objectives To discuss the CT features of primary tuberculosis in adults Methods CT images of 39 adult patients with primary tuberculosis were retrospectively analyzed and 30 cases were also examined after injection of contrast materials Results 39 patients had both mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis and parenchymal infiltration There were 25 cases (64 1%) with primary lesions involving the right lung and 14 cases (35 9%) in left side 28 cases(71 8%) appeared as patchy shadows,nodules,and lobular consolidation; 11 cases (28 2%) were with segmental or lobar consolidation In 30 cases with contrast enhanced CT,the mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis appeared as homogenous enhancement in 10 cases, irregular enhancement in 18 cases,central low attenuation and peripheral rim enhancement in 20 cases 14 cases showed that the nodes were confluenced with inhomogenous enhancement There were 26 cases with acute bronchogenic spread tuberculosis Conclusion The parenchymal infiltration and mediastinal tuberculous lymphadenitis are the basic features in adult primary tuberculosis Acute bronchogenic spread into other fields and the features of node enhancement after injection of contrast materials are very important findings in the diagnosis of primary tuberculosis

Objective The purpose of the study was to compare the P63 expression in non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) between Xuanwei and other regions, and to investigate the relationship of P63 expression and biological behavior. Methods Immunohistochemical method was used. Results The results indicated that the expression of P63 in lung squamous cell carcinoma was extraordinarily high. P63 was related to the TNM staging system,tissue differentiation degree and lymph node metastasis,but not related to gender. In NSCLC,there was no significant difference of the P63 positive expression rate in the same pathological types, staging, tissue differentiation degree, lymph node metastasis and gender between Xuanwei and other regions. It indicated that the expression of P63 was not the reason why it was high incidence of lung cancer in Xuanwei region.

This study is to explore the reason of "the older, the better" of PCR and itsincrease of flavonoids. We identified the fun- gus isolated from the PCR using microscopic and molecular identification. HPLC method was used to determine the content of 4 fla- vonoids and to clarifythe regularity of them; UV spectrophotometry method was used to determine the total content of flavonoids; reverse thinking was applied to screen the fungus that have close relation to the change of flavonoids. Finally, we have isolated and identified 25 fungusfrom the PCR, which belong to 2 genus and 4 species, including pencillium commune, P. minioluteeum, P. citrinum, Aspergillus flavus and A. niger. The content of flavonoids was increased in the mildew PCR due to A. niger and other fungus. Therefore, "the ol- der, the better" of PCR had its scientific reason that the increase of flavonoids had a close relation of the metabolic activity of A. niger and other fungus.

Objective To study antibiotic resistance phenotypes and genotypes of extended spectrum ?-lactamases (ESBLs) and AmpC ?-lactamase-producing Klebsiella oxytoca isolated from specimens of respiratory tract in children.Methods Bacterial isolates were identified by API or VITEK32. Agar dilution was used for antibiotic susceptibility test,and ESBLs and AmpC were detected by confirmatory test recommended by CLSI/NCCLS and by 3-aminophenylboronic acid (APB) disk potentiation test, respectively.Microarray was used to determine the genotypes of ESBLs and AmpC ?-lactamases.Genotypes of Klebsiella oxytoca were determined by enterobacterial repetitive intergenic consensus (ERIC)- PCR.Results ESBLs were positive in 129 out of 165 isolates (78.2%).Both ESBLs and AmpC ?- lactamases were positive in 16 out of 165 isolates (9.7%).AmpC ?-lactamase alone producer was not detected in term of phenotype and genotype.CTX-M was the most common type of ESBLs and DHA was the only type of AmpC ?-lactamase in these isolates.Most antibiotic resistant strains of Klebsiella oxytoca possessed the same genotype by ERIC-PCR.Although all strains were susceptible to carbpenem,Klebsiella oxytoca with ?-lactamases were more resistant to other antibiotic agents than those without ?- lactamases.Conclusions There is high prevalence of ESBLs production among Klebsiella oxytoca isolated from children in Urumqi.The main genotypes of ESBLs and AmpC ?-lactamases are CTX-M and DHA.

OBJECTIVETo explore activity laws of mitochondrial complex II in patients of deficiency-cold syndrome (DCS) and deficiency-heat syndrome (DHS) under various ambient temperatures.

METHODSSubjects were recruited by questionnaire and expert diagnosis from grade 1 - 3 undergraduates at Henan College of Traditional Chinese Medicine in November 2012, and assigned to a normal control group, the DCS group, and the DHS group, 20 in each group. Their venous blood samples were collected at two different temperature conditions. Activities of mitochondrial complex II were measured by spectrophotometry.

RESULTS(1) Comparison of mitochondrial complex It under various ambient temperatures: Compared with room temperature in the same group, activity values were all increased in the normal control group at cold temperature with significant difference (P <0.05), but there was no significant difference in the DCS group and the DHS group (P >0. 05). Compared with the normal control group, activity values of complex H were reduced in the DCS group at cold and room temperatures with significant difference (P <0.05). Compared with the DCS group, activity values of complex It were increased in the DHS group with significant difference (P <0. 05). (2) Changes of adjustment rates: Compared with room temperature, the adjustment rate all rose at cold temperature in the normal control group and the DHS group with significant difference (P <0.05), but with no significant difference found in the DCS group (P >0. 05). Compared with the normal control group at the same temperature, the adjustment rate in the DHS group and the DCS group was all reduced at cold and room temperatures with significant difference (P <0. 05). There were no significant difference in the adjustment rate between the DHS group and the DCS group (P > 0. 05).

CONCLUSIONSEnvironment temperature can affect the activity of mitochondrial complex II with different influence degrees on different syndrome types of people, but its change trend are basically identical.

Objective To establish a method for detecting HBV cccDNA in hepatocytes of chronic hepatitis B patients.Method 21 liver biopsies from the hepatic operation patients in the hospital of jiangsu province,concluding 19 HBV chronic infected patients (10 HBeAg positive patients and 9 HBeAg negative patients) and 4 uninfected patients,HBV DNA(+) serum of hepatitis B patients was thought as rcDNA.To use proteinase K to release HBV cccDNA and genomic DNA,then divide the cell lysis solution into two parts,one for detecting HBV cccDNA,the other for detecting the number of ?-Globin as internal control. Nucleic acid for detecting HBV cccDNA extracted by phenol-chloroform was digested by plasmid-safe ATP dependent DNase which was applied to digest the single strand DNA in rcDNA and ssDNA,then was quantitated by the primers spanning across the nick and SYBR Green Ⅰ dye.The specifity of PCR production was confirmed by the sequence analysis and rcDNA comparison.The significance of the difference of HBV cccDNA level between HBeAg(+) and HBeAg(-) group was analyzed by two group t test.Results The agarose gelelectrophoresis showed the molecular weight of the PCR production was about 350bp.The coincidence rate of PCR production and goal fragement was nearly 99% by sequence analysis.The result of PCR detection of rcDNA group was negative.The positive rate of HBV cccDNA of liver biopsies of HBeAg (+) patients detected by this method was 100%,the level of HBV cccDNA in the liver biopsies of HBeAg (+) patients was higher than HBeAb(+) patients.Conclusions The specificity of the method is proved by agarose electrophoresis,gene sequencing of the PCR product and rcDNA comparison.The quantitative method that use SYBR Green Ⅰ dye and ?-Globin as internal control is more specific,sensitive and economical,and more suitable for clinical purpose.
