Objective: To observe the protective effect of WenyangHuoxueFang on renal interstitial fibrosis in rats and try to explore the mechanism.Methods: The renal obstruction model of rats was established by unilateral ureteral obstruction(UUO) ,and then they were divided into four groups randomly,including UUOW group(treated with WenyangHuoxueFang),UUOF group(treated with Fosinopril),UUO group and the sham-operation group.The morphological changes of kidney tissue were observed,the level of RBP was detected by ELISA,the expression of MMP-3 and TIMP-1 was detected by immuno-histochemistry.Results: Compared with the sham-operation group,there were different degrees of kidney lesions in UUO group and the treatment groups.The level of RBP in UUO group was significantly higher than that in sham-operation group.Compared with UUO group,the RBP expression in UUOF group and UUOW group was significantly lower(P0.05).The expressions of MMP-3 and TIMP-1 in UUO group were increased,and the amplitude of increasing expression of TIMP-1 was higher than that of MMP-3.The treatment groups had higher expression of MMP-3(P

OBJECTIVETo explore treatment effect of the locking plate percutaneous external fixation to tibial fractures.

METHODSFrom July 2010 to February 2013, 8 cases with pediatric tibial fractures were treated by using unilateral locking plate percutaneous external fixation,including 6 males and 2 females with an average age of 7 years old ranging from 4 to 10. Among them, 5 cases were open fractures involving 1 case of Gustilo-Anderson type II, 3 cases of type III A, 1 case of type III B; and the other 3 cases were closed fractures involving 2 cases of AO type A3, 1 cases of type B2. The postoperative bone healing and gait impact were observed and the function was evaluated by Johner-Wruhs scores.

RESULTSAll fractures healed successfully without infection. The fracture healing time was from 3 to 6 months with an average of 3.9 months. The locking plate removal time was from 4 to 7 months with an average of 4.3 months. Among them, 7 cases were visually normal after walking with stand, 1 case of anterior tibial tendon defect affected gait. The results of Johner-Wruhs assessment were excellent in 7 cases, good in 1 case. No rub contralateral medial calf skin wounds occurenced.

CONCLUSIONThe method is simple, stable and reliable. The fixation strength is suitable for children using locking plate percutaneous external fixation. The postoperative functional recovery was excellent and the walking gait was less affected. But the point of LCP pedicle screw should be carefully selected before installation with good skin coverage.

Objective To investigate the development and dynamic changes of host immune response in DBA/2 mice infected with Plasmodium yoelii 17XL. Methods Female DBA/2 mice were infected by intraperitoneal ( i. p. ) injection of 106 P. yoelii 17XL parasitized erythrocytes ( PRBC). Levels of IL-12, IFN-γ, IL-4, IL-10 and P. yoelii 17XL-specific antibody in sera were measured by ELISA. Concentrations of NO in cell supernatants were measured by the Griess reaction. Parasitemia,percentage of mononuclear-macrophages of individual mice were monitored daily, and phagocytosis of mononuclear macrophages was also observed. Results Primary parasitemia in vein blood was developed on day 3 postinfection, which peaked with a level of 46. 9% on day 9. Most mice cleared the infection and survived by day 20 postinfection. From day 6 to day 16, the phagocytosis of PRBC by rodent macrophages was observed on the blood smear. Infected mice had a continuously increased level of IL-12 in serum from day 1 postinfection. Accordingly, high level of IFN-γ was also detected in sera from day 1 postinfection,which peaked on day 6. Infected mice produced higher level of IL-4 and IL-10 in serum on day 6 postinfection, which peaked on day 9 and day 15 postinfection respectively. In addition, splenocytes from infected mice produced significantly higher level of NO on day 6 and 20 postinfection. Level of P. yoelii 17XL-specific IgG was determined in the sera of infected mice with a steadily increased trend after infection, which peaked on day 70 postinfection. Conclusions Effective polarizing of Thl cells is significant in inhibition of parasitemia and eventual clearance of the Plasmodium parasites. Activated mononuclear-macrophages play a key role in inhibiting parasitemia in the early phase of infection with P. yoelii 17XL.

Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics of diagnosis and treatment of primary gastric malignant lymphoma (PGML). Method The data from 34 PGML medical records were reviewed retrospectively between January 2001 and May 2008. Results There were 23 cases of B-cell malignant lymphoma, 7 cases of T-cell malignant lymphoma, and 4 cases of non-B and non-T small cell lymphoma. Confirmed by pathology, 14 cases of them had metastasis to lymphoid nodes and 5 cases had invaded the organs nearby. All of these 34 cases had gastroendoscopy before operation. Conclusions PGML has no specific manifestation, and the definitely diagnostic rate of gastroendoscopy is low. The surgical resection is the major therapy.Operative pattern,the size of tumor,pathological stage can predicate the prognosis for PGML.

Objective To investigate the association between mycoplasma infection and pathogenesis of renal cell carcinoma(RCC). Methods There were 95 samples of archived embedded tissues of RCC and 60 samples of archived embedded normal renal tissues around the tumor for comparison.We detected mycoplasma hyorhinis P40 expression in archived embedded renal tissues by immunohistochemistry(IHC) with mycoplasma hyorhinis monoclonal antibody(MAb) PD4. Results Mycoplasma hyorhinis P40 was present in 64.2%(61/95 cases) of RCC and in 21.7%(13/60 cases) of the paratumor normal renal tissues in controls.The mycoplasma hyorhinis P40 expression ratio in RCC was significantly higher than that in the normal renal tissue,around the tumor(P

Objective To investigate the association between mycoplasma DNA and renal cell carcinoma (RCC). Methods There were 95 samples of archived embedded tissues of RCC. We detected mycoplasma DNA in the tissues by nested polymerase chain reaction (PCR) with mycoplasma universal primer. Results The mycoplasma DNA detection ratio in RCC samples was 81.1%. The samples with moderate and low differentiation had a higher mycoplasma DNA ratio (90.9%) compared with that of high differentiation samples (72.6%) (P

Objective To calculate workload according to working day and holiday separately.Methods Functions of SQL in Oracle were used to separate working day and holiday.Results The method could accomplish holiday's workload statistics expediently.Conclusions Statistics of holiday's workload are becoming ordinary work,so the separated analysis for them has practical value.

Flavonoids is one of the biggest families of the plant-derived secondary metabolites with structural diversity. Until now, over 10 000 kinds of flavonoids with distinct structures have been purified and identified from plants, and some of them possess a range of important pharmacological effects, such as anticancer, anti-inflammatory and so on. So far, a number of genes and enzymes responsible for the biosynthesis of flavonoids have been reported, especially, a great of progress has been achieved in the synthetic biology of flavonoids in the recent years. Herein, based upon a brief introduction on the biosynthesis of flavonoids, this review summarizes the research advances in synthetic biology of flavonoids in the past two decades (2001-2021), highlighting the cell factories construction of the representative flavonoids. And, a brief discussion and prospects of the relevant metabolic bottlenecks and optimizing strategies are proposed.
