AIM: To study the preventive effect of fibronectin on hepatic failure induced by endotoxin in mice.METHODS: The survival rate was observed in endotoxemia mice injected with fibronectin from human plasma. The tissue damage and expression of TNF?, IL-1?, IL-6 mRNA in hepatocyte were detected by the methods of histology, ultrastructure, DNA fragementation and RT-PCR. RESULTS: ①Fibronectin obviously reduced the mortality of endotoxemia mice sensitized by D-galactosamine(GalN). ②Histopathology showed that less necrosis occurred on the hepatocyte of endotoxemia mice injected with fibronectin, compared with saline control. ③Ultrastructure and DNA fragmentation showed fibronectin suppressed hepatocyte apoptosis induced by LPS. ④Fibronectin down-regulated the overexpression of TNF?, IL-1?, IL-6 mRNA on hepatocyte induced by LPS. CONCLUSION: Fibronectin supports endotoxemia mice surrival by down-regulating the expression of TNF?, IL-?, IL-6, it may be a potent therapy for endotoxemia.

Objective: To establish the quality standard of Jinwang Capsules.Methods: The technique of TLC was used to identify 10-Hydroxy-2-decylenic acid (10-HDA). Its content was determined by dual-wavelength UV spectrophotometry.Results: 10-HDA can be detected by TLC. The content of 10-HDA wasn't lower than 3.0mg per granule. Volatile alkalescent substance wasn't more 100mg per 100g.Conclusion: These methods are able to effectively control the quality of Jinwang Capsules.

Objective To investigate TEM and SHV ESBLs in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli clinical isolates from West China Hospital of Sichuan University and detect resistance of ESBLs-producing isolates. Methods The TEM and SHV ESBLs-encoding gene was amplified by PCR and was sequenced. And the MIC of eight antibiotics against the ESBLs-producing strains were detected by agar dilution. Results All strains were resistant to cefotaxime; eleven strains were resistant to aztreonam; two were resistant to ceftizidime; eleven, five and three were resistant to ciprofloxacin, amikacin and cefoxidine respectively; All strains were susceptible to imipenem. Ten strains of twelve ESBLs-producing strains carried bla SHV-2, two carried bla TEM-19. Conclusions ESBLs producers were mainly resistant to cefotaxime and aztreonam and most of them were multi-drug resistance; Cefotaxime resistance is partially due to production of SHV-2 and TEM-19 in this study.

Aim To observe the protective effect of pentoxifylline on myocardium injury induced by ischemia-reperfusion.Methods Heart ischemia-reperfusion model was induced in the isolated rat hearts subjected to 30 min ischemia and 30 min reperfusion.70 Wistar rats were divided randomly into seven groups: control group,ischemia-reperfusion group,four dose pentoxifylline treatment groups(50,100,125,150 ?mol?L-1) and post ischemia pentoxifylline treatment group.The intracellular Ca2+-overload was induced in the isolated rat hearts subjected to 5 min Ca2+-depletion and 30 min Ca2+-repletion(Ca2+-paradox).30 Wistar rats were divided randomly into three groups(control group,Ca2+-paradox group and pentoxifylline treatment group).Hemodynamics data were recorded.Results Reperfusion of the ischemic heart resulted in impaired cardiac performance.These alterations in cardiac function were attenuated by treatment of the heart with 100 ?mol?L-1 pentoxifylline(P

Objective To discuss diagnostic classification and emergency treatment protocols for complex pelvic fractures. Methods The first aid management of 23 cases of major pelvic fractures were analyzed retrospectively. Results 22 of the patients survived, but one died of hemorrhagic shock.Conclusions Correct classification of severe pelvic fractures is of guidance value to the first aid management. Cooperation among multiple departments, comprehensive application of various surgical methods, early stabilization of hemodynamics, rapid repair of injured organs, stabilization of pelvic ring with external fixator are effective techniques to enhance the survival rate of patients with severe pelvic fractures.

AIM: To explore the relationship between methylation status of promoter region 5′CpG island and the biological phenotype in human colorectal cancer RKO cell lines. METHODS: RKO cells were treated with selective DNA methyltransferase (DNMTs) inhibitor, 5-Aza-2′-deoxycytidine (5-Aza-CdR), for 72 h. Methylation-specific PCR (MSP), T-A clone and DNA sequence analysis were used to detect 5′CpG island methylation status of p16/CDKN2 tumor suppresor gene. Cell growth, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis were analyzed by MTT, flow cytometry (FCM), fluorescent dye staining and transmission electron microscope. RESULTS: DNMTs inhibitor (5-Aza-CdR) effectively reversed the hypermethylation status of 5′CpG island. The effects of 5-Aza-CdR on cell growth inhibition (P
