Objective To investigate the pattern and the role of cytoskeletal genes expression during nerve regeneration. Methods We examined the changes of expression of ? tubulin(? Tub)and three neurofilament(NF)subunits mRNA in rat corticospinal neurons of sensorimotor cortex on the 1st,3rd,5th,7th,10th,14th,21st,28th and 56th days after spinal cord semitransection injury by using in situ hybridization. Results Levels of ? Tub,NF L,NF M and NF H mRNA were dramatically downregulated within large sized pyramidal neurons in layer V of the sensorimotor cortex of side lateral after spinal cord injury.The level of ? Tub mRNA was decreased as early as 1 day postinjury,whereas the levels of NF subunits mRNA were not decreased until later time(on the 3rd days postinjury),and both of them did not return to control levels on the 56th days following the lesion. Conclusion ? Tub gene expression if inhibited in CNS neurons postinjury. The axotomy signeal and the continuance downregulation of NF mRNA expressioon following spinal cord injury may contribute to the ineffective regeneration response of CNS neurons.

Objective In order to explore the mechanisms that regulate the expression of genes coding for cytoskeletal proteins during nerve regeneration. Methods In the present study, in situ hybridization was used to examine the changes of light(NF L),medium(NF M)and heavy (NF H)neurofilament protein subunits mRNA in L 4-6 dosal root ganglion (DRG) sensory neurons during nerve regeneration following a unilateral crush of the sciatic nerve. Results The hybridization signals of each neurofilament subunit mRNA were dramatic decrees in DRG sensory neurons post axotomy by light microscope.The signals of NF\|L and NF\|M mRNA were located in cytoplasm of neurons,whereas NF H mRNA was found in both nucleus and cytoplasm of neurons. Conclusion There are the different mechanisms of regulation of neurofilament subunit genes expression,the reduced neurofilament gene expression may represent a general response to axonal injury and plays an important role in effective nerve regeneration.

Objective To investigate endoscropic assist in rat orotracheal intubation.Methods 40 rats were randomly divided into two groups.The procedure time, total time, intubation frequency,the success rate of the first intubation and the survival rate in 24h were compared between the conventional group and the endoscropic group.Results The total time in two groups were nearly the same.But the procedure time and frequency of intubation were significantly less in the endoscropic group than those in the conventional group.The success rate of the first intubation in the endoscropic group was obviously higher than that of the conventional group.There was no obviously difference between the survival rate after extubation in 24h between groups.Conclusion Endoscropic assist is superior to the conventional method and worth promoting.

Objective To study the relationship between the severity of diastolic heart failure(DHF)and bone mineral density in the elderly. Methods Totally 80 elderly patients aged over 80 years who were tested as normal for cardiac diastolic function by Doppler tissue imaging(DTI) were selected and divided into four groups by the e/a ratio,i.e.,the normal group(n=18),the DHF 1 group(0.8≤e/a<1,n=25),the DHF 2 group (0.6≤e/a<0.8,n=22),and the DHF 3 group(e/a<0.6,n=15). And the other 20 healthy people by physical examination were set as the normal control group.All subjects underwent bone mineral density(BMD)measurement(including femoral neck,total femoral hip and lumbar vertebra 1?4) by dual energy X?ray absorptiometry. Results Bone mineral density(BMD)was significantly decreased(P<0.05)in DHF groups(DHF 1,DHF 2,and DHF 3). Bone mineral density significantly decreased along with the severity of DHF. Bone mineral density was positively correlated with the e/a ratio in the elderly with DHF(r=0.75,P<0.01). Conclusion The severity of diastolic heart failure is closely related to bone mineral density in the elderly. The severity of diastolic heart failure could predict osteoporosis.

The kinetics of batch and fed-batch cultures of recombinant Escherichia coli to produce humanlike collagen were investigated. Through examining the density of substrate and the amount of mushrooms and the density of products during the process of fermenting, a set of kinetic models are set up. The influence of cell without plasmid was considered. The results show that the kinetic model may well simulate the fermenting process.

Objective To observe the effect of ethanol extract and ethyl acetate extract of Capparis Spinosa on the thickness of dermis,synthesis of collagen type Ⅰ,type Ⅲ,and expression of transforming growth factor-β1 in mouse models of scleroderma.Methods Mouse models of scleroderma were established through local injection of bleomycin on the back once a day for 4 weeks.After confirmation of model establishment,72 mouse models were equally and randomly divided into three groups.Two groups received topical treatment with ethanol extract of Capparis Spinosa and ethyl acetate extract of Capparis Spinosa,respectively,no treatment was given to the rest of the control group.After 2-,4-,6-week treatment,8 mice were sacrificed and tissue samples were obtained from the back,and subiected to the measurement of dermal thickness by HE staining,as well as to the analysis of expression of collagen type Ⅰ,collagen type Ⅲ and transforming growth factor-β1 by immunohistochemical staining.Results On week 2,4,6,the thickness of dermis was 23.22,24.94,19.97 μm respectively in mice treated with ethanol extract of Capparis Spinosa,27.66.26.15,22.13 μm respectively in those treated with ethyl acetate extract of Capparis Spinosa.Compared with the mouse models without treatment,the thickness of dermis significantly decreased(F=12.99,P＜0.01),the expression of collagen type Ⅰ(F=7.47,P＜0.01)and transforming growth factor-β1(F=11.76,P＜0.01)were also inhibited in those receiving treatment.However,the expression of collagen type Ⅲ was not affected obviously by the treatment.Conclusion The ethanol extract and ethyl acetate extract of Capparis Spinosa have the effect against skin fibrosis.
