To study the effect of Yinghua Pinggan granule (YHPG) against influenza A/H1N1 virus in vivo and on the immunologic function of infected mice. The intranasal influenza virus infection was adopted in ICR mouse to establish the influenza virus pneumonia model. At the 3rd and 7th day after the infection, the lung index and pathologic changes in lung tissues of mice were detected. Realtime PCR and flow cytometry were employed to observe the virus load in lung tissues and the levels of CD4+, CD8+, and CD4+/CD8+ in peripheral blood. The result showed that at the 3rd and 7th day after the infection, YHPG (15, 30 g x kg(-1)) can significant decrease in the lung index and virus load in lung tissues of mice infected with influenza virus, alleviate the pathologic changes in lung tissues, significantly increase the levels of CD4+ and CD4+/CD8+ ratio and reduce the levels of CD8+ in whole blood. This indicated that YHPG can inhibit the influenza virus replication, alleviate pulmonary damage and adjust the weak immunologic function of infected mice, with a certain therapeutic effect on mice infected by H1N1 virus in vivo.

OBJECTIVETo study the relationship between hRad17 mRNA expression and clinicopathologic factors and lymph node metastasis of gastric cancer, and to assess the significance of predicting the extent of lymph node metastasis and prognosis.
METHODShRad17 mRNA expression was examined in matched primary lesions, normal gastric mucosa and lymph node metastatic lesions among 52 gastric cancer patients by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR), polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (PAGE) and silver stain with the relation between hRad17 mRNA expression and clinicopathologic factors analyzed. At the same time, hRad17 mRNA expressions in 5 gastric benign lesions and SGC7901 gastric carcinoma cell lines were also examined.
RESULTSThe primary tumor samples (88.4% positive) showed a significantly higher level of hRad17 expression compared with matched normal tissue (76.9% positive) (P = 0.014), so did the lymph node metastatic samples (94.2% positive) (P = 0.001). The hRad17 mRNA expression showed a low level in benign lesions, but very high in SGC7901 cell line. The hRad17 mRNA expression showed a higher level in patients with the number of lymph node metastasis above 15 than below 15 (P = 0.02), so did the diffused growth than the mass-like growth (P = 0.04).
CONCLUSIONThe method of PAGE and silver stain can improve the sensitivity of RT-PCR. The degree of lymph node metastasis and invasiveness of carcinoma cells are more serious in cases with hRad17 mRNA overexpression, and extensive lymph node dissection should be carried out for these patients. Examination of hRad17 expression by RT-PCR before surgery is indicated to arrive at an optimum treatment scheme and to estimate the prognosis.

OBJECTIVETo constitute a composite skin substitute that can proliferate well with epidermal stem cells and fibroblasts on collagen sponge.
METHODSEpidermal stem cells were selected by rapid attachment to collagen IV for 10-15 min and cultured on 3T3 feeder layers. Collagen was extracted from rat tail. The matrix lattice was fabricated by freeze-dryer and cross-linked with glutaraldehyde. Fibroblasts were inoculated on collagen sponge and cultured for 4 days prior to inoculation of epidermal stem cells to construct composite skin substitute. The composite skin substitute were examined by means of histology, immunohistochemistry and electron microcopy, the histologic appearance was similar to that of normal epidermis.
RESULTSThe epidermal stem cells formed large colonies at 7-8 days, expressed K19 antigen. The percentages of cells at G0/G1 phase of cell cycle and the percentage of alpha6 briCD71dim cells in ESC groups were higher than those in the control group. The skin substitute had epidermis and dermis, the histologic appearance was similar to that of normal skin. The artificial skin expressed keratin antigen by immunocytochemical methods.
CONCLUSIONSEpidermal stem cells proliferated well and differentiated properly on this artificial skin dermis which contained fibroblasts. It seemed that the composite skin to be a good equivalent.

OBJECTIVEThe purpose of this study was to investigate the distribution of collagen I, II , X, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) and their roles during initiation of condylar cartilage of the fetal mouse.
METHODSCoronary sections of mandible of mouse embryo aged from 14th to 18th day were studied under light microscope after stained by immunohistochemical method with antibody of types I, II, X collagen and ALP.
RESULTSOn the 14th day of mouse embryo, it was found that mesenchymal cells condensation continuous with the periosteum. Type I collagen and ALP were positive behind the terminal of the ossifying mandibular periosteum where future condylar will form. On the 15th day, positive staining for types I, II collagen was found in mesenchymal cells around hypertrophic cells and type X collagen was detected in hypertrophic cells. ALP was positive in both mesenchymal cells and hypertrophic cells. On the 16th day, type I collagen was observed from periosteal osteogenic cells and mesenchymal cells of the fibrous cell layer to the upper hypertrophic cell layer while Type II collagen was restricted from the lower polymorphic cell layer to the bottom of the hypertropic cell layer. Type X collagen was positive in the hypertrophic cell layer. ALP was positive in periosteal osteogenic cells and hypertrophic chondral cells, but not in the polymorphic cell layer.
CONCLUSIONDevelopment of condylar cartilage is different from that of limb bone. Types I, II, X collagen are expressed in the condylar chondrocyte on the early stage of endochondral ossification. The histology evidence supports the conjecture that condylar cartilage is derived from differentiated mesenchymal cells of the preperiosteum or periosteum of the mandible where ALP is positively expressed.

OBJECTIVETo investigate proliferation and differentiation of neural stem cells in adult rats after cerebral infarction.
METHODSModels of cerebral infarction in rats were made and the time-course expression of bromodeoxyuridine (BrdU), Musashi1, glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP), and neuronal nuclear antigen (NeuN) were determined by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence staining. BrdU and Musashi1 were used to mark dividing neural stem cells. GFAP and NeuN were used to mark differentiating neural stem cells.
RESULTSCompared with controls, the number of BrdU-labeled and BrdU-labeled with Musashi 1-positive cells increased strikingly 1 day after cerebral infarction; approximately 6 fold with a peak 7 days later; markedly decreased 14 days later, but was still elevated compared with that of controls; decling to the control level 28 days later. The number of BrdU-labeled with GFAP-positive cells nearly remained unchanged in the hippocampus after cerebral infarction. The number of BrdU-labeled with NeuN-positive cells increased strikingly 14 days after cerebral infarction, reached maximum peak in the hippocampus 28 days after cerebral infarction in rats.
CONCLUSIONCerebral infarction stimulate proliferation of inherent neural stem cells and most proliferated neural stem cells differentiate into neurons.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the influence of avian influenza virus (AIV) NS1 protein on the expression of interferon-inducible protein 10 (IP-10).
METHODSNSI gene from virus A/Anhui/1/2005 (H5N1), NS1 gene inserted with 80-84 amino acids from virus A/Anhui/1/2005 (H5N1) and NS1 gene from virus A/Puerto Rico/8/1934 (H1N1) were cloned into the eukaryotic expression vector pEGFP-N1, and transfected into BEAS-2B cells, IP-10 expression level in transfected cells was detected by flow cytometry.
RESULTSCompared with the control group pEGFP-N1, expression of these three different NS1 genes can down-regulate the expression of IP-10 in BEAS-2B cells, but there is no significant difference as to the lower level among them.
CONCLUSIONNS1 protein of A/Anhui/1/2005 (H5N1) can down-regulate the expression level of IP-10, but this may not clarify its relationship with the virulence of AIV.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the value of a new platelet function test PFA P2Y (PFA-200) in monitoring clopidogrel treatment for cardiovascular disease in elderly patients.
METHODSFifty-six elderly patients receiving clopidogrel therapy in the Department of Cardiology of General Hospital of PLA from March to August in 2016 and 85 healthy volunteers were recruited for analysis. All the subjects underwent PFA P2Y, LTA (light transmittance aggregometry) and TEG (Thromboelastograph) tests, and Spearman correlation coefficients were used to test the associations between test results. The agreement among the 3 platelet function test methods was assessed using Cohen's kappa coefficient.
RESULTSCorrelation coefficient (r) was -0.701 (P<0.001) between PFA P2Y and LTA, and 0.475 (P<0.001) between PFA P2Y and TEG. The agreement was 75% between PFA P2Y and LTA and 67.9% between PFA P2Y and TEG. The κ value was 0.434 (P=0.001) between PFA P2Y and LTA and 0.242 (P=0.046) between PFA P2Y and TEG. With ADP-induced maximum platelet aggregation rate of LTA >50% as the laboratory clopidogrel resistance, the cut-off value of PFA P2Y was 119 s (AUC=0.733) with a sensitivity of 75.6% and a specificity of 73.3%.
CONCLUSIONPFA P2Y has a moderate correlation and agreement with LTA, but has a poor correlation and agreement with TEG. PFA P2Y can be useful for assessing the effects of clopidogrel therapy and the association of the cut-off value (119 s) with the long-term clinical ischemic events needs be confirmed in further study.

In order to fabricate the HLA-DQA1 genotyping chip and develop an integrated, parallel technical platform to type HLA system, a pair of primers and a set of probes were designed according to the sequences of HLA-DQA1 exon 2, where the polymorphism is concentrated. The oligonucleotide chip was made with the methods developed in our laboratory. The target DNA was asymmetrically amplified with the labeled sense primer. The signals were scanned and analyzed after the hybridization between microarray and PCR product. The allele types of the samples were identified. The result was verified by the standard DNA and DNA sequencing. The results showed that the genotyping was successfully carried out in 50 standard DNA samples and 50 clinical samples. Among them, results of the 50 standard DNA samples matched their templates. In the other 50 samples, results of the randomly selected 10 matched their sequencing results except that two of them got the incompletely result. In reproducible tests, the signal reappear rate was 95%. It is concluded that HLA-DQA1 genotyping by using our array system is simple and convenient with satisfied accuracy and reproducibility.
