Objective To develop a new method of preparing anti-Rh(D) reagent serum in order to help overcome the shortage of Rh(D) negative red blood cells(RBCs). Methods Anti-Rh(D) containing type A and B sera were mixed. Through dilution and neutralization, the titer of complete antibodies decreased to 2. Anti-Rh(D) saturated Rh(D)positive RBCs were prepared by adding anti-Rh(D) containing serum to Rh(D) positive RBCs so that all the Rh factors on the cells were saturated. The anti-Rh(D) saturated type A and type B RBCs were added to the mixed plasma to absorb the remaining anti-A and anti-B. Results The acquired regent sera had a high anti-Rh(D) titer with a high specificity. Conclusion Anti-Rh(D) saturated Rh(D) positive RBCs absorption after neutralization can help with the production of human origin anti-Rh(D) reagent serum and save a large amount of Rh(D) negative evythvocytes.

Functional insulinoma accounts for 85% of insulinoma, and it is evenly distributed in the head, body and tail of the pancreas. The main clinical manifestation of patients with functional insulinoma is endocrine disorder, and 92% of them presented with neurological symptoms. Preoperative localization of functional insulinoma is difficult because of the small size of the tumor. A 31-year-old male patient with the chief complaint of paroxysmal dizziness and confusion was admitted to the First Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical College on May 3,2010. The patient was preliminarily diagnosed with functional insulinoma by detecting the levels of fasting blood glucose,serum insulin and fasting serum C-peptide, as well as the presence of Whipple's triad. Ultrasonography and enhanced computed tomography demonstrated that a well-defined tumor of 13.0 mm ×13.0 mm in size was located in the pancreatic uncinate process.On May 27, 2010, the patient received surgical resection of the tumor, and histological examination of the resected specimen confirmed insulinoma.

Objective To investigate theeffect of ischemic postconditioning (IPO) on ischemia/reperfusion injury via mitochondrial pathway.Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups by means of random number table.Rats in IRI group and IPO group received liver transplantation.The portal vein in IRI group was opened immediately after liver implantation to restore the blood supply.The graft rats in IPO group received IPO before the portal vein was completely opened: 60-s ischemia and 60-s reperfusion of the portal vein,repeated 6 times).The rats in the sham-operation group were only subject to dissociation of the liver ligament.Six h after portal vein reperfusion,liver function was tested.The expression of Bcl-2 mRNA and Bax mRNA was detected by using real time-PCR.The protein expression of Cyt-c was detected by using Western blotting.The apoptosis and necrosis of liver tissue and the mitochondrial transmembrane potential were detected by using flow cytomertry.The changes of mitochondrial structure were observed under an electron microscope.Results The liver functions in IRI group and IPO group were significantly worse (P＜0.05),the levels of Bax mRNA were significantly higher (P＜0.05),the levels of Bcl-2 mRNA were significantly lower (P＜0.05),the levels of Cyt-c protein were significantly higher (P＜0.05),the levels of apoptosis and necrosis were significantly higher (P＜0.05),and mitochondrial transmembrane potential (MTP) of liver cells was significantly lower (P＜0.05) than in sham operation group.The changes of all the parameters in IRI group were more significant than in IPO group (P ＜ 0.05).The morphological changes of the liver mitochondria were also significantly aggravated in IRI group as compared with IPO group.Conclusion IPO reduced IRI by inhibiting the mitochondrial signaling pathway in rats undergoing liver transplantation.

AIM:To optimize formulation of Xiao'er Magan Orally Disintegrating Tablet by central composite design-response surface methodology. METHODS:By two factors and five levels central composite design,independent variables were the proportion of optimized microcrystalline cellulose 50 and mannitol and the pressure,while disintegrating time and tensile strength were dependent variables. Binary linear and quadratic models were used to estimate the relationship between the dependent and the indepedent variables,and to delineate response surface method and overlay contour plots in order to select the optimal formulations. RESULTS:The binomial regression equation were TS =0. 096 88X1 + 0. 027 6X1X2(r = 0. 759),DT = 9. 845 4X1 -63. 196X2 + 40. 092 9X22 (r = 0. 838) which indicated the quantitative relationship between the factors and the evaluation indexes was characterized. The optimal formulation were the ratio of microcrystalline cellulose 50 and mannitol in the range of 0. 35 and 0. 6,and the pressure was in the range of 6 and 8 KN. CONCLUSION:The optimized formulation validation is close to the estimated value,indicating that the method has a good predictability and reliability.

BACKGROUND:Under certain conditions, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels can be differentiated into hepatocytes, which are an important source of liver cels. Moreover, multiple factors can be involved in this induced differentiation process. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the inducible effect of cholestatic serum on the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels into hepatocytes. METHODS:Cholestatic animal model was prepared in rats to extract cholestatic serum. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels isolated from rats were divided into three groups and cultured in serum-free hepatocyte medium, serum-free hepatocyte medium plus cholestatic serum, serum-free hepatocyte medium plus normal serum, respectively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The positive expression of alpha fetoprotein and keratin 18 and mass concentration of albumin were significantly higher in the serum-free hepatocyte medium plus cholestatic serum group than the other two groups (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that cholestatic serum has a certain inducible role in the differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels into hepatocytes.

Myelin of the adult mammalian central nervous system(CNS)has been attributed to affect nerve structural plasticity and suppress regeneration of nerve fibers.Nogo-A is possibly the best characterized of a variety of neurite growth inhibitors in CNS myelin.Neutralizing its activity results in improved axon regrowth and functional recovery in experimental spinal cord injury(SCI)models of animals.Nogo-A and its receptors,especially Nogo-66 receptor(NgR),p75 neurotrophin receptor(p75NTR),and LINGO-1 increasingly become the hot spot in the study of SCI repair,and have become the major targets for therapeutic intervention to promote axon regeneration after SCI.Inhibition of Nogo-A and its receptors NgR/p75NTR/LINGO-1 may be promote the regeneration of axon and maximize functional recovery after SCI.
