Objective:To explore the immunity provided to BALB/c mice by immunization with the recombinant ricin B chain protein (rRTB). Methods:Female BALB/c mice were randomly selected into rRTB-vaccinated group and PBS group. Mice were subcu-taneously (s. c. ) injected four times with 14 days immunization time interval. Changes of antibodies (IgG,IgG1and IgG2a) in serum were detected by ELISA. Meanwhile,the expression of IL-4 and IFN-γ were detected by flow cytometry. Results:The mean IgG titers reached 106 after the fourth immunization and a strong secondary response was induced in vaccinated mice when challenged with toxin. There was significant difference between rRTB-vaccinated group and PBS group ( P<0. 05 ) . The same result was shown in IgG1. However,no changed was detected in IgG2a. Meanwhile,there was significant difference for IL-4 between two groups (P<0. 05), while no significant difference for IFN-γwas observed. Conclusion:rRTB can produce higher levels of antigen-specific antibodies ( IgG and IgG1),and cytokine (IL-4) of splenocytes,which means the recombinant protein can induce the Th2-type immune response and trigger a good immune response. rRTB may be a potentially valuable vaccine candidate against human exposure to AT.

Objective To investigate and evaluate the changes of PYK2 expression in hippocampal neurons and microglial cells in Kainate acid-induced status epilepticus. Methods Kainate acid-induced status epilepticus was established in rats, and by using immunostaining, changes of PYK2 expression in hippocampal neurons and microglial cells was investigated. Results Expression of PYK2 in hippocampal pyramidal neurons was markedly decreased after kainate acid-induced status epilepticus. However, 24h after the epileptic onset, a pronounced up-regulation of PYK2 and phosphor-PYK2 immunoreactivities were evident in amoeboid microglial cells. The upregulation of PYK2 and phosphor-PYK2 was in accordance with the morphological changes of the activated microglial cells. Conclusion PYK2 was activated in microglial cells after seizure. Furthermore, the activation of PYK2 in microglial cells after seizure might be related to the morphological and behavioral changes of microglial cells after activation.

Objective To investigate and evaluate the changes of phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK expression in neurons after focal cerebral ischemia. Methods Focal ischemia reperfusion model was established in rats, and by using immunostaining, the changes of phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK expression in neurons was observed. Results Faint phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK immunoreactivity were revealed in normal cortical neurons. Fifteen minutes after the ischemia onset, a pronounced upregulation of phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK immunoreactivities were evident in these ischemia attacked neurons. The immunoreactivities of phospho PYK2 and phospho p38MAPK reached its peak at 30min after ischemia, and decreased 60min after ischemia. Conclusion Cerebral ischemia was able to induce neuronal PYK2 phosphorylation. The activation of PYK2 might link ischemia attack to the p38MAPK signaling pathway to initiate the neuronal response to the stress stimuli

A new method was developed for the separation and determination of inosine monophosphate (IMP) by ion chromatography (IC) with suppressed conductivity detection. Separation was achieved on an anion-exchange column Ionpac AS11-HC of high capacity within a short time. 30 mmol/L KOH produced by an EGC-KOH eluent generator was used for isocratic elution. No interferences existed between the seven common inorganic anions and IMP. Under the optimum conditions, the linear range of the calibration curve for IMP was 1. 0-200 mg/L, with correlation coefficient ( R2 ) of 0. 999. The relative standard deviations (RSDs) for retention time, peak height and peak area of IMP were 0. 16%, 0. 94% and 0. 86%, respectively, indicating good reproducibility of the method. The method was successfully applied to the determination of IMP in meat products, with spiked recovery ranging from 86. 0% to 110. 0%. This simple, accurate and reliable method could be served as a rapid and effective analytical tool for meat flavoring research.

Objective To explore the clinicopathologic features,diagnostic criteria and clinical prognostic factors of Goblet cell carcinoid (GCC) of the appendix.Methods The clinical and pathological data from 6 GCC patients were analyzed including age,clinical stage,surgical procedure,outcome,macroscopic features,histological sections and immunohistochemistry.Results The median age was 49.67 years old.Clinically,4 patients presented the signs and symptoms of acute appendicitis,while 2 patients presented the signs and symptoms of abdominal pain.4 patients of them undergone the simple appendectomy,the other 2 undergone the right hemicolectomy.All patients who had undergone the operation treatment survived.One patient was lost to the follow-up.Macroscopically,no masses were found in the appendix.Microscopically,4 cases showed that the tumor cells were identical to the goblet cell normal small intestinal crypts morphologically.The atypia,necrosis and mitotic figures of neoplasm cells were absent.2 cases were composed of small,discrete acini,tubules lined by a single layer of cuboidal or columnar cell,the signet-ring cells were uniform with pattern of infiltration being nests,rosrttes,or clumps without a dintinct lumen.All GCC cases were positive to Syn,4 cases were positive to CgA,some cases expressed NSE,CD56,CK7,CK20,Ki-67 index of 5 cases was under 2 ％,the other 1 was 3 ％.None had lymph node metastases,intestinal metastases or ovary metastases.Conclusions GCC of appendix is a rare neoplasm,and has more aggressive behaviour than classic carcinoids.Positive expression of Syn and CgA is necessory for the diagnosis of GCC,Ki-67 index may suggest the grading of tumor.

Teaching method of grouping and numbering the experimental animals refers to management of laboratory animals by marking them with numbers. In an experimental group, the same marked experimental animal is performed surgery operation by each group member. As a whole, each group member gets the same score according to the evaluation of operation performance of that group and the score is recorded as usual performance score. This method is simple and easy to implement. It is the optimizing of traditional basic operative surgery teaching methods which is conducted not only to improve medical students' sense of responsibility and animal protection awareness, to make full use of teaching resources and reduce waste, to cultivate medical students' team cooperation awareness, but also to deepen medical students' knowledge about surgical complications and improve the quality of teaching.

We made the third party medical disputes mediation organization dispose medical disputes more quickly and effectively by analyzing its theoretical knowledge,running mode,economic framework,administrative agency and personnel disposition,which provided institutional insurance for the establishment of harmonious relationship between doctors and patients in our country.

Objective To evaluate renal hemodynamic changes in hydronephrosis children with no image on intravenous urography by color doppler flow image(CDFI). Methods The resistance indexes(RIs)in main renal arteries(MRAs),interlobar renal arteries(IRAs)and arcuate renal arteries(ARAs)were measured in 48 children with hydronephrosis with no image on intravenous urography.The thickness and area were also measured in hydronephrotic kidneys.Resistive index ration(RIR=hydronephrotic kidneys RI/contralateral RI)was calculated. And pathological changes of kidneys were graded in these cases.Spearman's correlation test was used to compare RIR and pathological grades in these kidneys. Results In healthy and hydronephrotic kidneys,the relevant parameters were as fol1.13±0.14,1.14±0.09,respectively in MRAs,IRAs,ARAs in hydronephrotic kidneys(P＞ness,area of hydronephrotic kidneys(P＜0.05),also between RIR and thickness,araa(P＜0.05),MRAs,IRAs,ARAs and pathologic grades(P＜0.05),especially in IRP(s(r=0.795,P＜0.01).Conclusions RIR of IRA could be an ideal parameter of renal hemodynamics to evaluate renal damage in children with congenital hydronephrosis with no image on intravenous urography.

Objective In order know the clinical effects of vitamin B1 point injection combined with Chinese manipulation and Qi Gong therapy on the postoperative urinary retention after hemorrhoid operation. Methods Totally 150 patents with postoperative urinary retention after hemorrhoid operation were divided into the experimental group and the control group with 75 cases in each group randomly.The experimental group were treated with vitamin B1 injection at San Yin Jiao point by disposable ascepfic syringe,at the same time Chinese manipulation and Qi Gong therapy were used to masage the bladder in the lower abdomen.The tradi- tional nuusing cares,such as changes of body position,induction by bicker and foment by hot water bag,were used in the conutrol group.The improving conditions of postoperative urinary retention was compared between them.Results The total effective rate was 93%(44 cases with marked effect,26 cases with drect)in the cxperimental group and 53%(17 cases with marked effect,23 cases with effect)in the control group respectively,with a very significant difference between the two groups,X2=31.7,P＜0.01.The experimental group was significantly better than that of control group in the time of uresis after surgery,P＜0.01.Conclusions Vitamin B1 point injection combined with Chinese manipulation and Qi Gong therapy is an effective mursing measure to alleviate urinary retention after henmrrhoid operation.

Objective To investigate the feasibility and efficacy of laparoscopic orchiopexy for inguinal palpable undescended testes. Methods Ninety patients with 103 inguinal undescended pal-pable testes were treated by laparoscopic orchiopexy performed by the same surgeon. There were 24 (26.7 %) left and 53 (58. 9%) right palpable cryptorchidism cases, plus 13 cases (14.4 % ) with bilat-eral undescended testes. The mean age of the patients was 17 months (range 8 months-6 years). The surgical procedures were described as following. First, the peritoneum was opened at the anterior sur-face of the spermatic vessels and vas deferens before the testis was pulled into the abdominal cavity so that the spermatic vessels and vas deferens were released and easily manipulated. Second, the inter-space between internal spermatic fascia (transversalic fascia) and processus vaginalis was divided so, that the testis could be pulled into the abdominal cavity. Finally, the trocar which was inserted from scrotum was placed through the outer ring. Finally, the testis was placed at position and fixed. Re-suits The mean operative time was 32.7±5.2 min. The processus vaginalis unclose was found in 93 (90.3%) cases; and contralateral process us vaginalis unclose were found in 12 (15.6%) cases of 77 unilateral undescended testes. The complication rate was 3(3.3%)cases, all in bilateral cases. All 103 testes were descended by laparoscopy. On follow-up ranging 6-12 months, all testes maintained good size and a proper position. Conclusions The laparoscopic approach may be a safe way to descend the inguinal palpable testes. Orchiopexy of palpable undescended testes can be done with advantages in the laparoscopic approach.
