Objective To investigate the turnover and factors influencing amniotic membrane transplantation into corneal stroma.Methods Amniotic membrane stained with dichlorotriazinyl aminofluoresclin (DTAF)was implanted into the corneal stroma of 1 5 New Zealand white rabbits.After transplantation,we observed the clinical changes.The tissue samples from grafted area were observed with HE staining and laser confocal microscope to trace amniotic membrane at 4,8,13,1 7 and 22 week after surgery.And the tissue samples at week 22 after surgery from grafted area were also observed by transmission electron microscopy.Results After 4 weeks of operation, amniotic membrane tissue bent with visible multi-layer homogeneous red dye.The structure remained intact;basement membrane and stroma were no dissolved.After 8 weeks, amniotic tissue was a strip structure of homogeneous red dye,and the substance layer was complete.After 13 weeks,amniotic membrane morphology appeared fuzzy,but still took the shape of strips;a small number of corneal cells accumulated around the amniotic membrane.At 1 7 weeks after operation,fragmented amnion was evident.At 22 weeks after operation,small pieces of amnion tissue remained in the corneal stroma.Laser scanning confocal microscopy revealed that amniotic membrane could retain for over 22 weeks in the corneal stroma.After 22 weeks,amnion stroma collagen fibers that were integrated into the corneal stroma were irregular.Corneal stromal ultrastructure surrounding the amniotic membrane did not obviously change.Conclusion Retention time of amniotic membrane transplanted into corneal stroma can be as long as over 22 weeks and amniotic membrane can be merged into the corneal tissue as a substitute, which wins time for corneal transplantation operation.

BACKGROUND:Heart transplantation is an effective method for treatment of end-stage heart failure, but immune rejection that seriously impact therapeutic effacicy is easy to occur after transplantation. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the regulatory effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s on the immune function of rats undergoiong heart transplantation. METHODS:Twenty Lewis rats were enrol ed as donors, and 20 Wistar rats as recipients. Heart transplantation models were established in the Wistar rats. These 20 model rats were randomized into cel transplantation and control group with 10 rats in each group. Forty-eight hours after heart transplantation, rats in the cel transplantation group were given bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel suspension (1 mL, 2×108 cel s/L) via the tail vein, while rats in the control group were given normal saline in the same dose. Then, the expression levels of serum interleukin-2, interleukin-10 and percentage of CD4+, CD8+, CD4+/CD8+, CD4+CD25high, CD4+CD25high Foxp3+T cel s in the venous blood were detected in the two groups at 7 days after cel transplantation. Additional y, rat myocardial tissues were taken and observed pathological y. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The survival time of the cel transplantation group was significantly longer than that of the control group (P<0.05). The expression level of interleukin-2 showed no significant difference between the two groups (P>0.05), but the level of interleukin-10 in the cel transplantation group was significantly higher than that in the control group (P<0.05). Compared with the control group, the percentage of CD4+/CD8+, CD4+CD25high, CD4+CD25high Foxp3+and CD4+T cel s was significantly higher, and the percentage of CD8+T cel s was significantly lower in the cel transplantation group (P<0.05). Histopathological findings showed that there were a smal amount of infiltrated lymphocytes in the cel transplantation group with the presence of slight bleeding and edema, and these inflammatory reactions were milder than those in the control group. These findings indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can effectively reduce the rejection in rats undergoing heart transplantation.

Social justice,as a part of the public policy and legal value,is an important target of the rule of law and should penetrate into all the activities in medical field.The doctor-patient relationship influences the realization of medical justice directly.This article analyses the status of the missing integrity between doctors and patients and the medical hazards it brings,from the perspective of the practice of doctor-patient relationship,and put forward the methods to construct the integrity of medical treatment.

Immobilization is a usual method to treat the injury of skeletal muscle system and plays an important role in rehabilitation of diseases. But immobilization also displays some negative effects, of all, muscle system is affected significantly. The mechanism is explored in the article from immobilization-induced skeletal muscle atrophy, the dropping of muscle power, reduction of vessels density in muscle and metabolic disturbance of muscle. The authors of the article advances that shortening the period of immobilization as possible and performing early rehabilitation are important to remove the negative influence of immobilization, but all treatments should obey the medical rules.

Acid/base mutants of glycosidases, namely thioglycoligases, are able to catalyze thioglycosides synthesis. Now, many thioglycoligases, including ?-thioglucoligase, ?-thiomannoligase, ?-thiogalactoligase, ?-thioxyloligase and ?-thioglucoligase, have been developed from bacteria and archaebacteria, and applied in synthesizing various thioglycoligases. Recently, thioglycoligases have been used to glycosylate the glycoprotein and firstly generate the thioglycoprotein. The novel extended synthetic function of glycosidases would promote the development of glycobiology, biotechnology and pharmacy.

OBJECTIVE: To establish miniSTR fluorescent detection system with all detected fragments below 150 bp and to enhance the efficiency of detecting the degraded DNA samples. METHODS: All candidate primers were designed by Primer Premier 5 and screened by FastPCR 6.0. The miniSTR multiplex system was established by these selected loci labeling by four fluorescent dye. The parameters of PCR and primer concentrations were subsequently optimized. The electrophoresis was fulfilled under POP4 on 3100-Avant and the typing data was validated by standard DNA 9947A and 007. Fresh blood samples and difficult degraded DNA samples were tested to evaluate the usefulness of the system. RESULTS: All amplicons in the established miniSTR fluorescent detection system (D12ATA63, D2S1776, D1GATA113, D4S2408, D17S974, D20S482, D3S3053, Amelogenin, D6S474, D9S1122) were less than 150bp. The profile showed a balanced peak height without extra stutter by optimal protocol. Allele frequencies showed no deviations from Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. The system showed accumulated probability of discrimination 0.999 999 983 and accumulated triplet excluding probability of paternity 0.996 8. It could detect corrupt muscle tissue, low copy number DNA samples and human tissues fixed by 40% formaldehyde solution for 12 days. CONCLUSION The miniSTR fluorescent detection system could be solely used for personal identification of degraded DNA samples or complementally used for paternity tests. And the system could enhance the ability of detecting the trace and degraded DNA.

A highly phytase-producing strain B.licheniformis LL8 was obtained by several mutagenesis of UV with B.licheniformis as starting strain.The new strain produced about two folds of phytase activity as compared with the starting strain. The production performance of the strain was stable. The cultivation conditions were optimized by single factor and orthogonal experiment. When the mutant B.licheniformis LL8 was cultivated at 55℃, initial pH 7.5 with the inoculation size of 10% for 30h in WBE medUm, the phytase activity was up to 2268.4U/mL.

This article was aimed to study the therapeutic effect of Chinese medicine Dai-Xie-A n (DXA) granules a-mong aging rats of metabolic syndrome (MS) in order to evaluate relative indicators and the pathophysiological role in neurons and microvascular injury among aging MS rats. Aging MS rat model was established by feeding high-fat diet and the established model was evaluated. Under the guidance of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) theory, metabol-ic indexes, such as general state of health, glycolipid metabolism, insulin sensitivity, were explored in order to ob-serve effects on brain neurons and microvascular injury among aging MS rats. The results showed that DXA granules can improve glycolipid metabolism among aging MS rats, decrease TC, TG, TC/HDL, decrease the level of blood sug-ar and serum insulin, improve insulin resistance, decrease abdominal fat accumulation, reduce neuronal apoptosis, and increase microvascular angiogenesis. These effects are similar to rosiglitazone. It was concluded that DXA gran-ules can ameliorate glycolipid disorders, protect brain neurons and microvascular injury of aging MS rats.

Objective To explore the relationship among professional commitment, learning burnout and academic self-efficacy of undergraduate nursing students. Methods 506 undergraduate nursing students were investigated with the three Questionnaires of college students: professional commitment questionnaire, learning burnout inventory and academic self-efficacy scale. Results The scores of affective commitment, ideal commitment, normative commitment and continued commitment of the undergraduate nursing students were (28.229 ± 5.327), (20.348 ±4. 507), (19. 405 ± 3. 730), (18. 148 ± 2. 954) and( 86. 130 ± 13. 421), respectively. And the scores of depression, misconduct, low sense of accomplishment, total bumrnut of the undergraduate nursing students were(21.733 ±5.338), (18.459 ±3. 918) , (17.083 ±3. 596)and(57. 275 ±9. 766) , respectively. As well as the scores of learning ability of self-efficacy, learning behavior of self-efficacy and total self-efficacy were(35.765 ±5.835), (35.247 ±4.840)and (71.012 ±9.659), respectively. The affective commitment,ideal commitment and normative commitment of professional commitment were negatively correlated with the dimensions of learning bumout. And the continued commitment was significant correlated with the low sense of accomplishment. Otherwise, the dimensions of professional commitment were positive correlated with the dimensions of academic self-efficacy. However, the dimensions of academic self-efficacy were significant negative correlated with the dimensions of learning burnout (P＜ 0. 01). Conclusions The professional commitment, learning bumout of undergraduate nursing students are closely related with the academic self-efficacy of undergraduate nursing students. The higher the levels of professional commitment and academic self-efficacy are, the lower the level of learning bumout is.
