Objective To explore contrast-enhanced ultrasonography (CEUS) in diagnosis renal injuries complicated with active bleeding of different velocity,and analysis the related factors of renal traumatic degree.Methods Thirty-four Ⅰ - Ⅴ grade lesions of renal injury were made in 4 dogs and 6 New Zealand rabbits.Two and three dimensional CEUS were used to observe traumatic extension,and traumatic position,involving in vascular as well.Then the injury condition was classified and assessed synthetically.Results The range of lesions observed by using 2D and 3D ultrasound had consistency with those of the pathologic sample (length-diameter:F =0.4724,P =0.6252; transverse diameter:F =1.6174,P =0.20490),3D-CEUS can display the vascular that involved by renal injury.In the same traumatic extension condition,the time of animal becoming shocked and injury severity was related to not only traumatic extension but also different velocity of active bleeding and involving in vascular.Conclusions Contrastenhanced ultrasound can objectively reflect renal injury severity,and more information can be provided to clinical for management.

Objective To observe the efficacy and safety of liver decanoic sulfonic sodium in the treatment of elderly patients with acute coronary syndrome (ACS).Methods84 ACS patients over 70 years were randomly divided into the treatment and control groups.Two groups were treated on the basis of general,treatment 40 cases of liver of dibutyl sebacate with sodium sulfonated added 2.5 mg subcutaneous injection parumbilical,day 1,course 8 d ; control group 44 cases combined with low molecular weight heparin calcium 0.4 ml,2 times/day 1 time every 12 hours,according to body weight adjusted dose,Parumbilical shot in course of 8 days,observing the clinical effect of two groups during the treatment,as well as 4 weeks and bleeding during the treatment the incidence of cardiovascular events.Results The clinical effects of treatment and control groups was no significant difference (95% and 91%,P >0.05) ; None of the two sets of death,myocardial infarction and recurrent malignant ventricular arrhythmia; none of the two sets of bleeding occurs,treatment of minor bleeding rates were significantly lower than those of control groups (7.5% and 25%,P < 0.05).Conclusion The study of dibutyl sebacate with sodium heparin and low molecular weight heparin calcium in the treatment of ACS are valid,but the former which significantly reduce the incidence of minor bleeding.Liver decanoic sulfonic sodium for acute coronary syndrome ACS)anticoagulation can not only effectively reduce cardiovascular events,but also significantly reduce bleeding risk,regardless of the patient's age,gender,renal function and risk stratification,especially for bleeding in high risk elderly patients with safe and clinical promotion.

In order to reveal the phenotypic characteristics of 17 JE virus strains isolated from different years, plaque sizes, mice neurovirulence and mice neuroinvasiveness of the isolates were studied and compared. BHK21 cell monolayers were used for testing the plaque sizes. The virus neurovirulence was tested in 9-11g mice inoculated intracerebrally and the virus neuroinvasiveness was tested in 9-11g and 14-16g by subcutaneous inoculation. Results showed that all the viruses produced clear plaques on the BHK21 cell monolayers with different sizes and all the virus strains appeared high neurovirulence in the mice with higher than lg8. 0/0.03 mL virus titers, while no apparent difference among them. The neuroinvasiveness (subcutaneous virulence) tested in the 9-11g mice had shown a little difference, but when tested in the 12-14 g mice,the difference was apparent. The results demonstrated that JEV in nature were highly neurovirulent with no apparent difference. However the neuroinvasiveness of the JEV in nature was greatly different, which didn't relate to the years of isolation and genotypes, but most of the viruses isolated from patients showed higher neuroinvasiveness.

CD4+ T cells mainly interact with Sphingosine 1-phosphate (S1P) to regulate immune function through Sphingosine 1-phosphate receptor 1 (S1P1). This study was aimed to investigate the effects of recombinant human granulocyte-colony-stimulating factor (rhG-CSF) mobilization on S1P1 expression in CD4+ T cells of donor's peripheral blood. The CD4+T cells of peripheral blood were isolated by magnetic beads from 17 allo-hematopoietic stem cell transplantation (allo-HSCT) donors before and at fourth day of mobilization with rhG-CSF. The S1P1 expression was detected by real time quantitative PCR in the RNA extracted from CD4+ T cells collected before and after rhG-CSF mobilization. The results showed that the expression of S1P1 was found in CD4+ cells before and after rhG-CSF mobilization, but the expression level of SIP1 in CD4+ cells after rhG-CSF mobilization was significantly lower than that before rhG-CSF mobilization (p<0.01). It is concluded that the mobilization with rhG-CSF obviously down-regulates the expression of S1P1 in CD4+ T cells of donor's peripheral blood.

OBJECTIVETo investigate telomerase activity in rabbit bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) during their committed differentiation in vitro along neural pathway and the effect of glial cell line-derived neurotrophic factor (GDNF) on the expression of telomerase.
METHODSBMSCs were acquired from rabbit marrow and divided into control group, GDNF (10 ng/ml) group. Cytokine.NSCs medium (prepared by our lab, Patent No. ZL02134314. 4) supplemented with 10 percent fetal bovine serum (FBS) was used to induce BMSCs differentiation along neural pathway. Fluorescent immunocytochemistry was employed to identify the expressions of Nestin, neuron-specific endase (NSE), and gial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP). The growth curves of the cells and the status of cell cycles were analyzed, respectively. During the differentiation, telomerase activities were detected using the telomeric repeat amplification protocol-enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (TRAP-ELISA).
RESULTSBMSCs were successfully induced to differentiate along neural pathway and expressed specific markers of fetal neural epithelium, mature neuron and glial cells. Telomerase activities were undetectable in BMSCs during differentiation along neural pathway. Similar changes of cell growth curves, cell cycle status and telomerase expression were observed in the two groups.
CONCLUSIONSRabbit BMSCs do not display telomerase activity during differentiation along neural pathway. GDNF shows little impact on proliferation and telomerase activity of BMSCs.

OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the efficacy and safety of sodium dimercaptopropane sulfonate( DMPS) in the treatment of patients with increased urinary mercury. METHODS: By random sampling method,68 patients with elevated urinary mercury were chosen as study subjects. Among them,61 cases were observation subjects working with mercury and 7 cases were chronic occupational mild mercury poisoning. DMPS was used to eliminate mercury by intramuscular injection. The changes of urinary mercury level were observed before and after treatment,and the curative effect was analyzed. RESULTS: The median( the 25 th and 75 th percentiles) of natural voiding urinary mercury was 36. 6( 28. 4,55. 6) μmol / mol creatinine and 24 hours total urine mercury amount was 1 074. 7( 608. 0,1 646. 3) μg / d in the first course of treatment.After 1 to 8 courses of mercury expulsion,the 24 hours total urine mercury amount in 68 patients were lower than the normal reference level( 45. 0 μg / d). The median( the 25 th and 75 th percentiles) of one-time morning urinary mercury level before hospital discharge was 2. 7( 1. 8,4. 0) μmol / mol creatinin,which was lower than the level of natural voiding urinary mercury( P < 0. 05). The first and second course of treatment resulted in the highest decline in urinary mercury,followed by a gradually decreased in urinary mercury in later courses. The number of treatment courses in observation subjects working with mercury was less than that in patients with chronic mild mercury poisoning [( 4. 0 ± 1. 3) vs( 5. 6 ±1. 1) times,P < 0. 05]. There was a positive correlation between the number of treatment courses and the level of natural voiding urinary mercury or 24 hours total urine mercury amount in the first course of treatment( P < 0. 01). The number of courses of mercury expulsion was not related to gender,length of service and age( P > 0. 05). One patient had dizziness and pale after intramuscular injection of DMPS,the symptom was disappeared with symptomatic treatment; 68 patients after treatment have no other adverse reactions. CONCLUSION: Using DMPS as mercury displacement treatment was effective and relatively safe. The change of urinary mercury after DMPS treatment can be used as a basis for establishing clinical standard for patients with increased urinary mercury.
