1.Role of autologous myoblast transplantation in endplate regeneration and neuromuscular function restoration after direct nerve implantation in rats
Chinese Journal of Trauma 2012;28(9):849-853
Objective To observe the effects of autologous myoblast transplantation on endplate regeneration and neuromuscular function restoration following direct nerve implantation (DNI) in rats so as to offer experimental basis for the use of myoblasts in neural regeneration area and further lay foundation for the research using myoblasts as transgenic carriers. Methods A total of 20 male SD rats were randomly divided into experimental group and control group,with 10 rats in each group.Models of DNI in rat gastrocnemius were established.The experimental group was injected with primarily cultured autologous myoblasts to the DNI location,while the control group was injected with isometric medium without autologous myoblasts.The effects of myoblasts on the neuromuscular function recovery following DNI were studied by detecting the tibial functional index (FTI),neuro-electrophysiology and pathohistology.Results The experimental group displayed faster tibial nerve function recovery than the control group (P < 0.01 ).The peak to peak value (PPV) of gastrocnemius neuro-electrophysiology,area under the curve and regenerated endplate number of the experimental group had statistical significances as compared with the control group ( P < 0.01 ). Conclusion Myoblast autotransplantation accelerates the recoveryof neuromuscular function after rat DNI and increases the number of the regenerated endplates.
2.Effects of Long Jing 1 on isolated rat thoracic aortic rings
Chinese Journal of Pathophysiology 1986;0(02):-
Long Jing 1 (L01) is the effective component extracted from asiatic todd-alia. In the experiments on rat thoracic aortic rings, L01 45-405 ?mol/L inhibited thecontraction initiated by high K~+ or NE, the IC_(50) value was 206.93 and 94.18 ?mol/Lrespectively. L01 shifted the dose-response curve of KCl or NE to the right, and reducedthe maximal response, also shifted that of CaCl_2 to the right parallelly. The effects ofL01 were similar to that of Ver (verapamil) in the blockage on PDC. Morever L01 80 ?mol/Linhibited the release of intracellular Ca~(2+) and extracellular Ca~(2+) influx initiated by NE,the former effect was more significant than the latter (this was different from Ver). Theseresults suggested that L01 was probably a new calcium antagonist different from Ver.
3.Effects of Lead Exposure on Study, Memory and Autonomic Activities of Mice
Journal of Environment and Health 1993;0(03):-
Objective To study the neurotoxicity of lead to mice and the mechanism. Methods Two months old(grown) and two weeks old(infancy) mice were employed, 1 ?l of 1 mol/L lead acetate was given by brain ventricle injection, 3 d, 5 d, 1 week, 2 weeks and 3 weeks after treatment with lead, the change of autonomic activities and the ability of study and memory of the mice were examined. Results The latency period of Lashley Ⅲ water maze prolonged significantly in grown group and the infancy group compared with the control groups at every time point of test. Conclusion Lead exposure can damage the function of study and memory of mice, and increase the frequency of autonomic activities of theirs.
4.The expression level of carcinoembryonic antigen under hypoxic condition in breast cancer ;microenvironment and its prognostic value of breast cancer
Chinese Journal of Laboratory Medicine 2016;39(9):710-714
Objective To investigate the correlationbetween thecarcinoembryonic antigen ( CEA) level and hypoxic status of breast cancer, and itspotential of being a prognostic factor in breast cancer. Methods Breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231 was cultured under hypoxic or normoxic condition to determine the protein level of CEA using Western blotting.30 breast cancer tissue sections were collected in Tianjin Medical University Cancer Institute and Hospital from April 2013 to June 2015.and were detected the expression of CEA, hypoxia-inducible factor-1α( HIF-1α) and carbonic anhydrase-9 ( CA-9 ) by immunohistochemistry.Serum CEA were detected by immunofluorescence assay of 166 breast cancer patients collected from April 2009 to June 2011.The correlation between the expression levels of CEA and breast cancer patients'clinical data was analyzed by Logistic univariate analysis.Kaplan-Meier method was employed to calculate the progression-free survival of patients with breast cancer. Log-rank test was conducted to compare the difference between groups.Results CEA levels were significantly higher in breast cancer cells under hypoxic condition in a time-dependent manner, compared to normoxiccontrol. Immunohistochemical staining indicated that CEA was coexpressed with HIF-1αand CA-9 in breast cancer and linear regression analysis revealed that CEA expression correlated with HIF-1α( P =0.0096 );Preoperative serum levels of CEA were closely related with tumor size ( P =0.015 ) andLymph node metastasis(P=0.032); CEA positive patients achieved a progression-free survival of 29.85months(versus 39.08 months in CEA negative patients, P=0.003).Conclusions Hypoxia upregulates CEA expression in breast cancer and the levels of preoperative serum CEA is a potential prognostic factor ofbreast cancer.

China Pharmacy 2001;0(10):-
OBJECTIVE: To evaluate application of antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs in 3 hospitals of Guang’an and find out the reason of unreasonable use of drug. METHODS: 120,000 prescriptions were randomly collected from inpatient and outpatient departments of 3 hospitals from Jan. 2005 to Jan. 2008, which included 20 000 pediatrics prescriptions. The DDDs and DUI of antibiotics and non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were analyzed statistically. RESULTS: The DUI of 10 kinds of antibiotics and 3 kinds of non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs were above 1, which indicated that drug abuse occurred. CONCLUSION: Physicians’ prescribing behavior lack medical rationality and the situation of drug feeding hospital is still critical in primary hospitals.
