Objective To investigate the effects of P-selectin gene knockout on the biological characteristics of mice. Methods P?selectin knockout (PKO) mice and C57BL/6 mice were housed in SPF environment. To make sure that the mice were pure PKO mice by gene identification. To determine the general condition, the activity status, reproduction of P?selectin knockout mice were observed and tested. HE staining was used to observed the histological morphology and struc?tures of 6?week?old and 18?week?old P?selectin knockoutout mice. Results PKO mice and C57 mice have similar multiplica?tion, there was no significant difference in reproduction and blood routine test. The stuctures of liver, spleen, lung and kid?ney were normal. Conclusions P?selectin knockout has no significant effects on reproduction, blood routine test and major organs. This research provides animal model theoretical basis for further study on the effects of P?selection in diseases.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of Lycium barbarum polysaccharide ( LBP) on the tumor growth and metastasis in MMTV?PyMT mouse model of breast cancer. Methods The population of MMTV?PyMT trans?genic mice was expanded and identified. 8?week old MMTV?PyMT?positive female mice were randomly divided into LBP group and control group, 8 mice in each group. The mice of LBP group were given LBP treatment (50 mg/kg, i. p. ), and the control group was given normal saline in the same volume, once every 2 days for 4 weeks. The tumor size was measured every two days. The mice were killed at 4 weeks after treatment, the lungs were removed and fixed in Bouin′s solution to observe the number of metastatic nodules, and tumor tissues were used for immunohistochemical examination of tumor cell proliferation and vascular density. Results The tumor formation rate was 100% in the MMTV?PyMT?positive mice. The tumor weight of LBP group was 4?208 ± 0?4463 g, significantly lower than the 6?477g ± 0?3724 g in the control group (P<0?005). The number of pulmonary nodules of the LBP group was 12 ± 1?155, significantly less than that of the control group (20 ± 2?745) (P<0?05). The immunohistochemical examination using Ki67 and CD31 staining showed that tumor cell proliferation and microvessel density of the LBP group were significantly less than the NS group. Conclusions LBP inhibits breast cancer growth and metastasis through the inhibitory effect on tumor growth and metastasis, inhibition of tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis in MMTV?PyMT mice. These mice can be used as an ideal model for studies on antitu?mor drug development for the treatment of breast cancer lung metastasis.

[Objective] To investigate the effect of P-selectin on the intestinal tumorigenesis in the 15,24-week-old ApcMin/+ mice.[Methods] Male ApcMin/+ mice were mated with female P-selectin knockout (P-sel-/-) mice to generate AMin/+Ps-/-mice.The diameters and numbers of the intestinal tumors in the intestines of ApcMin/+ and AM/+ps-/-mice were measured using an inverted microscope.The tumor volumes were measured using the following equation:volume =0.52 × (length × width2).[Results] There were no significant difference between the volume and number of intestinal tumor in 15-week-old ApcMin/+ mice and 15-week-old A+ P-mice.The volume and number of intestinal tumor were significantly increased in 24-week-old A+P-mice compared to 24-weekold ApcMin/+ mice.P-selectin deletion significantly prolonged the survival time of ApcMin/+ mice.[Conclusions] P-selectin deletion promotes the intestinal tumorigenesis in the 24-week-old ApcMin/+ mice.

15 male Wistar rats of 8 weeks old were used in this experment. After deeply anesthesia, the masseter muscles, digastric muscles, lateral pterygoid muscles were stimulated in the apartment that was made by us. The curves that express the relations of force-electronic stimulates were recorded and the constitutive equations of these muscles were given. When a single electronic signal stimulates the muscle, the respondence of the muscles can be expressed as F = A(e-alpha t - e-beta t) and the constant A, alpha, beta were determined. When the frequency of the electronic stimulation was higher than 3 Hz, the respondence was expressed as F = Ce-gamma/t + Dsin omega t and the constants C, D and gamma were determined. When the frequency of the electronic stimulation was thirty or higher, the tetanic convulsion occurred.

Abstract: Objective To screen out a more universally applicable culture medium for the isolation and culturing of pathogenic fungi through comparing the performance of various universal fungal culture media, to optimize the fungal culturomics technique, and to better apply it to the culturomics research of pathogenic fungi. Methods Multiple common fungal culture media Sabouraud dextrose agar (SDA), potato dextrose agar (PDA), modified Dixon (mDixon), modified LeemingNotman agar (MLNA), etc., and a new pan-fungal medium (PF) were used to culture 40 strains of common pathogenic fungi to determine the growth states of strains under different conditions. Based on that, PF, SDA, PDA, mDixon and MLNA, a total of 5 culture media, were used to isolate and culture a simulated sample (suspension of Candida albicans and Aspergillus fumigatus), 10 human samples (4 fecal samples and 6 vaginal secretion samples) and 3 environmental samples. Results The positive growth rates of 40 strains of pathogenic fungi in the 7 media were as follows: PDA 95.0% (38/40), SDA 95.0% (38/40), BHI 95.0% (38/40), YPD 90.0% (36/40), mDixon 95.0% (38/40), MLNA 87.5% (35/40), PF 100.0% (40/40). For the simulated samples, PF could effectively promote the self-limited growth of filamentous fungi, performing better in isolation and culture. For the human samples and environmental samples, PF showed the same versatility as SDA and PDA. Conclusions In the isolation and culturing of pathogenic fungi, PF medium can effectively isolate and culture most fungal species. Meanwhile, PF can make the fast-growing fungi show self-limited growth and clear edges, and not easy to cross-contamination, which indicates it is conducive to the isolation and identification of single colonies. PF medium outperforms other common media in isolating strains from unknown samples in culturomics, which illustrates PF medium can be effectively used for the study of
fungal culturomics.

Objective To study the effect of atrial natriuretic peptide(ANP)deletion on melanoma growth. Methods A subcutaneous xenotransplanted melanoma model was established in ANP knockout mice and C57BL/6J mice. The tumor volume was measured at the sixth day after establishment of the subcutaneous transplantation. Tumor cell proliferation and tumor-induced angiogenesis were detected by immunohistochemical staining. Results The volume and weight of xenotransplanted melanoma were significantly decreased in the ANP knockout mice compared with those in the C57BL/6J mice. The proliferative tumor cells and microvessel density were significantly decreased in the tumor tissues of ANP knockout mice compared with those in the C57BL/6J mice. Conclusions ANP deletion significantly suppresses xenotransplanted melanoma growth through inhibiting the tumor cell proliferation and angiogenesis.

Objective To investigate the role of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) in lung metastasis of melanoma. Methods Melanoma B16F10 cells were intravenously injected into ANP knockout mice and C57BL/6J mice. After three weeks, the mice were sacrificed, and the lungs were removed, embedded, and examined by pathology using HE staining. The numbers of metastatic foci on the lung surface and micrometastatic foci in the lung tissues were counted. Results The ANP knockout mice displayed fewer metastatic foci on the lung surface and less micrometastatic foci in the lung tissues of ANP knockout mice than in the C57BL/6J mice. Conclusions ANP deletion significantly suppresses the metastasis of melanoma in the lung of mice.

To study the response of cultured cells to the cyclical biaxial biomechanical strain, a system was made according to the principle of Winston. The system was made of culture dish, pressure cavity and step motor. The culture dishes were made of polymethyl methacrylate and the bottom of the culture dishes were made of silicone rubber membrane. When the diameter of the silicone rubber tube and the distance between rollers and curvilinear plate changed, the pressure in the pressure cavity changed and the strain of the membrane changed from 0 to 4%. When the roll of the step motor changed, the frequency of the strain changed from 0.1 to 5 Hz.
