Objective To observe the expression and localization of D J-1 in renal fibrosis, and to investigate the expressions of E-cadherin, vimentin and the level of β-catenin tyrosine phosphorylation in human tubular epithelial cells. Methods In vitro, the human tubular epithehal cells (HKC cell line) were cultured with 10 μg/L TGF-β1 for 72 h. The protein expressions of E-cadherin, vimentin and DJ-1 were measured by Western blot. RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of D J-1 mRNA. The intracellular distribution of DJ-1 was observed by confocal microscope. In vivo, Masson stain was used to evaluate the level of renal fibrosis. The expression and disposition of DJ-1 in renal tissue were detected by immunohistochemistry. HKC cells were transfected with pEGFP-N1-DJ-1 via lipofectamine 2000. The efficiency of transfection was detected by fluorescence microscope. The expressions of DJ-1, E-cadherin, vimentin and β-catenin tyrosine phosphorylation level in the transfected cells were detected by Western blot. Results The expressions of DJ-1 protein and DJ-1 mRNA were up-regulated in renal tubular EMT cells. Most of DJ-1 protein localized in cytoplasm, and some was in nucleus. After stimulation by TGF-β1, the expressions of DJ-1 protein both in cytoplasm and nucleus was greatly increased, especially in nucleus. In vivo, renal tissue expressed DJ-1 in tubular epithelia, but little expression in glomeruli. In renal tissue from 5/6-nephrectomized rots, DJ-1 expression was greatly increased. In the DJ-1 transfectants, the expressions of DJ-1, vimentin and β-catenin tyrosine phosphorylation level were up-regulated, but E-cadherin expression was suppressed. Conclusion The increased expression of DJ-1 may promote renal fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the changes of the expression of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and receptor activator nuclear factor kappa B ligand (RANKL) during the healing of mandibular fracture after the transection of the inferior alveolar nerve (IAN) in rabbits. Methods Forty rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups and each group consisted of 20 animals. The rabbits of the first group underwent mandibular fracture and transection of IAN and those of the second group underwent mandibular fracture only. The rabbits were killed at 7, 14, 21, 28 day after fracture. The callus tissue of the rabbits was collected and paraffin sections of the callus tissue were prepared. The callus sections were subjected to HE staining. The effects of calcitonin gene-related peptide (CGRP) on the expression of OPG and RANKL were observed with immunohistochemical staining. Results There were only a few CGRP immunoreactive nerve fibers at day 7 after IAN section. Low level of OPG expression was found throughout the repair process but RANKL was intensively expressed in the rabbits of the first group. Conclusion CGRP can up-regulate the expression ratio of OPG/RANKL and promote the healing process of fracture. The loss of CGRP is unfavorable to bony healing.

BACKGROUND:Human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cels can be induced through the co-culture to differentiate into other cels, but how to get more seed cels for tissue engineering is one of the most difficult problems. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the role of the different concentrations of thyroxine in chondrogenic differentiation of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cels by co-culture with rabbit chondrocytes. METHODS:Human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cels were co-cultured with rabbit chondrocytes at 2:1, and stimulated by medium containing different concentrations of thyroxine (0, 0.01, 0.1 and 1, 10 μmol/L). Co-cultured cels with no thyroxine served as control group. After 14 days of co-culture, the cel RNA and protein were extracted, mRNA expressions of aggrecan and colagen type II were detected by real-time PCR, and protein expression of aggrecan and colagen type II were detected by western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After intervention with 0.01, 0.1, 1, 10 μmol/L thyroxine, the mRNA and protein expressions of aggrecan and colagen type II were enhanced with the increase of thyroxine concentration, which were significantly different from those in the control group (P < 0.05). Experimental findings indicate that high levels of thyroxine can enhance the chondrogenic ability of human umbilical cord blood-derived mesenchymal stem cels co-cultured with rabbit chondrocytes.

BACKGROUND:Peripheral facial nerve injury first involves the retrograde reactions of central nervous system axons, and nerve regeneration wil depend on the survival and functional status of neuronal cel bodies. OBJECTIVE:To explore the expression of neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin in facial nuclei after facial nerve injury. METHODS:New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into model group (n=48) and control group (n=8). In the model group, every eight rabbits were used to carry out the test respectively at 1, 4, 7, 14, 21 days after the model of facial nerve injury (right side) was established. SP and real-time quantitative PCR methods were taken to test the expression of neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin in the facial nerve nucleus at mRNA and RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The control group had neuronal cadherin-and placental cadherin-positive neurons. In the model group, neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin positively expressed in the facial motorneurons (right side), and their expressions were peaked at 14 days. Compared with the control group, the mRNA expression of neuronal cadherin in the facial motorneurons was increased significantly at 4-28 days after injury;the mRNA expression of placental cadherin in the facial motorneurons was decreased significantly at 1 day after injury, and then increased significantly at 7-28 days. It is suggested that the expression of neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin is positive in the early stage of facial nerve injury, and the expression of placental cadherin is always present, while the expression of neuronal cadherin relatively lasts for a short time. After facial nerve injury, the expression of neuronal cadherin and placental cadherin in the facial nerve nucleus is both increased, which indicates that the facial nerve regeneration may be related to the high expression of adhesion molecules.

Objective To compare the clinical outcomes of segmental pulmonary veins isolation (SPVI) and circumferential pulmonary veins ablation (CPVA) for patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation. Methods Sixty-eight patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation from January 2004 to April 2008 were divided into SPVI group (30 cases) and CPVA group (38 cases).The mean procedure time,the mean fluoroscopy time and relapse rate were compared. Results The mean procedure time in CPVA and SPVI group had no significant difference [(171.0 ± 25.8) min vs (168.2 ± 21.7) min, P = 0.579], but the mean fluoroscopy time in CPVA group [(38.5 ± 8.4) min]was less than that in SPVI group [(45.8 ± 16.1) min (P= 0.019). Mean term of the follow up was (17.1 ± 7.8) months. Relapse rate in CPVA group was less than that in SPVI group (5.3% vs 23.3%, P= 0.029). Both groups had no severe complications. Conclusion In patients with paroxysmal atrial fibrillation, CPVA strategy provides a more favourable clinical outcomes and less fluoroscopy time.

ObjectiveTo summarize the clinical significance of ultrasonic screening of fetal structural anomalies at 11-13+6 weeks.Methods We conducted a retrospective study of 4853 cases of nuchal translucency screening at 11-13+6 weeks in Maternal and Child Health Hospital of Bao?an of Shenzhen City from September 2011 to May 2014. The screening ultrasound planes included the median sagittal plane, neck sagittal section, cerebral transverse section, cardiac four-chamber view, three-vessel-trachea view, abdominal transverse section, bladder section, upper limb section and lower limb section of the fetuses. All the cases then underwent the ultrasonic structural screening in the second trimester (20-24 weeks) and the third (28-32 weeks) trimester and were followed up until 6 weeks after birth or the biopsy after abortion.Results Eighty-ifve fetal structural anomalies were detected among the 4853 pregnant women at 11-13+6 weeks of gestation with the detection rate of 1.75% (85/4853), including central nervous system abnormalities (28 cases), anterior abdominal wall anomalies (9 cases), cardiac anomalies (6 cases), urinary system malformation (3 cases), skeletal system malformation (2 cases), multilocular cystic tumor and dropsy embryo (35 cases), and abnormal twins (2 cases). Among above abnormal fetuses, 6 cases showed normal structure in the screening after 14 weeks and were born without malformations, while the rest 79 cases were taken artiifcial abortion (73 cases in the ifrst trimester and 6 cases in the second trimester). Only 9 cases were taken chorionic puncture or amniocentesis, including normal karyotypes (3 cases), 47, XN, +18 (3 cases) and 45, X (3 cases). The False negative rate in the ifrst trimester was 23% (25/110). Supplementary detection of fetal structural abnormalities in the second and third trimester were found in 22 cases (20%, 22/110). Two cases of VSD and 1 case of microtia were identiifed after birth.ConclusionsThe fetal malformation can be detected in the earlier gestation with the ultrasonic screening at 11-13+6 weeks, which provide the earlier termination to the abnormal fetus. It has important clinical signiifcance in effectively reducing fetal births with structural abnormalities.

OBJECTIVE:To improve the system of management and maintenance for the purification air-conditioning system in PIVAS,and to further strengthen the management of cleaning environment. METHODS:The cleanness monitoring project of purifi-cation air-conditioning system in PIVAS of our hospital was introduced in terms of temperature and humidity record,pressure differ-ence record,airborne particles detection,settling microbe monitoring report. And the monitoring results were analyzed. RESULTS:The temperature and humidity,pressure difference of clean area in PIVAS of our hospital are both in line with the standard of Phar-macy Intravenous Admixture Quality Management Specification (2010 edition),i.e. temperature at 18-26 ℃,relative humidity of 40%-65%;negative pressure difference between antibiotics,hazardous drug dispensing area and second dressing room are 5-10 Pa. The number of airborne particles (average static particle/m3) at various cleanness degrees in clean area are all in line with the standard of GMP(2010 edition),i.e. maximal allowable number of airborne particles(≥0.5 μm)were 3 520/m3(100 degree);352 000/m3 (10 000 degree);3 520 000/m3 (100 000 degree). The percentage of qualified static settling microbe detection reach 100%in clean area,which is in line with the standard of Settling Microbe Detection Method in Clean Room(Area) of Pharmaceu-tical Industry,i.e. criteria for settling microbe(90 mm)CFU/0.5 h≤1(100 degree);≤3(10 000 degree);≤10(100 000 degree). The percentage of qualified dynamic settling microbe detection is in low level,especially those of dispensing room and secondary dressing room only reaches 80%. CONCLUSIONS:It’s important for effective hospital infection control in PIVAS,the quality im-provement of intravenous injection,the safety guarantee of drug use in patients to further improve standard operation procedure of purification air-conditioning system management and maintenance,and manage and maintain the purification air-conditioning sys-tem completely and scientifically.
