Methods: The experimental brain injury was induced in the SD rats by free falling object, and the expression of intercelluar adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1)in the microvascular endothelial cells (EC) of rat brain was examined by immunohistochemistry and S-P histochemical methods.The rats were allocated to group A(normal blank control group), group B (administration of Borneolum), group C(brain injured model group) and group D(model rats treated with Borneolum).Results:ICAM-1 seldom expressed or never expressed in the normal rats brain,the administration of Borneolum could not induce its expression,and ICAM-1 expression increased in the injured brain(P

Objective To observe the effects of soybean isoflavone in attenuating trans fatty acids-induced athero-sclerosis in rats .Methods The rats were randomly divided into normal diet group、trans fatty acids group、soybean isoflavone group and trans fatty acids +soybean isoflavone group .Research kit was used to test the amounts of TG , HDL,LDL and IL-6,TNF-αin rats'blood.Bovine aortic endothelial cells were cultured and divided into control group,trans fatty acids group and trans fatty acids group +soybean isoflavone group .Western blot was performed to test the NF-κB phosphorylation ,as well as to determine ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 protein contents in bovine aortic endo-thelial cells.Results Compared with normal diet group ,the amounts of TG,LDL,IL-6,TNF-αincreased evidently (P<0.05), whereas the amounts of HDL decreased evidently (P<0.05) in the rats'blood of trans fatty acids group . After the soybean isoflavone intervened ,the amounts of TG,LDL,IL-6,TNF-αall decreased (P<0.01), meanwhile the amounts of HDL increased significantly (P<0.01).Soybean isoflavone inhibited NF-κB phosphorylation induced by trans fatty acids ( P<0.01) .The high expression of ICAM-1 and VCAM-1 induced by trans fatty acids was de-creased by soybean isoflavone when comparing with those in the control group ( P<0.01 ) .Conclusions Soybean isoflavone has a role in attenuating trans fatty acids trans fatty acids-induced atherosclerosis in rats .

Objective The increasing evidences indicate that the inhalable particle matter (PM10) is responsible for respiratory and cardiovascular morbidity and mortality.Generation of superoxide anion,hydroxyl radical and apoptosis in HLF cells induced by PM10 were studied in this paper to present some data for elucidating the mechanism of effects of PM10.Methods The superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical were detected respectively by cytochrome C assay and apoptosis inspected with Annexin V-FITC/PI double staining by flow cytometry.Results PM10 could generate the superoxide anion and hydroxyl radical,with significant dose-dependent manners,and the levels of the superoxide anion as well as hydroxyl radical were decreased by chitosan oligosaccharides (COS),with the significant protection effects (P

Objective To establish a three-dimensional finite element model of rapid canine tooth movement by reducing resistance and distracting procedures,and to discuss canine distal movement and force distribution of periodontium,and to provide theory basis for its clinical application.Methods Through 64-slice spiral scanning,temporomandibular joint (TMJ),the mandible,lower jaw denture section phantom DICOM data were obtained.Mimics software,Geomagic Studio 8.0 software,Unigraphics NX software,and Ansys11.0 software were mixed,and the three-dimensional finite element model were established under the conventional condition to move the canine (model 1 ),rapid canine movement through distracting osteggenesis of the periodontal ligament (model 2),rapid canine movement tooth movement through reducing resistance and distracting method (model 3),the strength were carried on three kind of models and the canine,the pericementum,the tooth socket bone stress distribution were observed.Results The biggest displacements on those three models occured in canine crown on 1/3,biggest displacement quantity:model 3 ＞model 2 ＞model 1,and the canine crown displacement reduced gradually from crown to the root point; in the model 1 most greatly equivalent stress mainly concentrated in the middle of distal alveolar crest,but in the models 2 and 3 most greatly equivalent stress centralism area shifted liguodistal alveolar crest.Conclusions In the process of canine distal movement,reducing bone resistance,can accelerate the tooth moving speed effectively and simultaneously,the canine has distal motion tendency.While under the action of force,the canine tends to move ligually with the canine distal movement,and thus appropriate measures should be taken to prevent canine lingual rotation in clinical work.

This paper introduced multiple flexible teaching methods in medical immunology based on its characteristics including paying attention to introductory class,activating class atmosphere,integrating multiple teaching form.Results showed that these methods stimulating interests of the students,improving their comprehensive quality and ability of innovation,so teaching effect can be improved accordingly.

Objective To investigate the effect of borneol administered by gastric gavage or external application on ICAM-1 expression in rat retina with ischemia-reperfusion injury.Methods Rat ischemia-reperfusion model was established.Laser microscope and biological analysis microsoft were used to observe the change of ICAM-1 expression in retina or rats after gastric gavage or external application of borneol.Results Borneol administered by gastric gavage or external application obviously decreased the expression of ICAM-1 after the modeling for 24 hours,the difference being significant as compared with that in the model group(P

Phosphatidylinositol-3-kinase(PI3K),AKT,TSC1/2,and the mammalian target of rapamycin(mTOR) signaling cascade involves many cellular processes including apoptosis,growth,proliferation and differentiation,This pathway has been found to be the most variable one in human tumors.As tumor is a poorly differentiated disease,this review examines the role of the PI3K-AKT signal pathway in cell differentiation and tumor development.

60 g in 15 cases).The operation time ranged from 35 to 85 minutes(mean,45),and the blood loss was 50-100 ml(mean,60 ml).No case needed blood transfusion.No rupture of the prostatic capsule,venous sinuses,or perforation of the bladder-prostate junction occurred in this series.The patients were followed up for 4 to 6 months,during which the Qmax increased to 16.4-23.2 ml/s(mean,19.8 ml/s),RU decreased to 0-15 ml(mean,5 ml),and IPSS score improved to 0-6.8(mean,4.2).No patient developed urinary incontinence.Conclusions Transurethral retrograde dissection of the prostate is effective for the treatment of BPH with a low morbidity rate of urinary incontinence.The procedure is simple and results in low blood loss.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the preparation methods of polyaspartate derivatives as drug delivery systems. DATA SOURCES:An online search of Elselvier,ACS publications and Springerlink between January 1990 and January 2006 was undertaken by using the keywords of "polyaspart*,hydrogels,micelles,complexes" to identify the relevant articles published in English.Meanwhile,Chinese journals full-text database were scanned with computer to search relevant articles published from January 1995 to October 2005,and the keywords were"asparmide,complexes,hydrogels,release" with language limited to Chinese.STUDY SELECTION:All the related data were analyzed to select those were aimed directly at the criteria.As for the arti cles in the same field,those published recently or published in the authority journals were preferred. DATA EXTRACTION:A total of 56 articles about the preparation methods of polyaspartate derivatives as drug delivery systems were collected, and 29 of them were in accordance with the inclusion criteria. DATA SYNTHESIS:Polyaspartate derivatives are new biodegradable and biocompatible materials.Covalent complexes, hydrogels and micelles,three main drug delivery systems of polyaspartate derivatives,exhibit good biocompatibility and conspicuous effect of control-release.CONCLUSION:With the help of the short synthesis route,simple manipulation,high production rate, the excellent biocompatibility as well as the better hydrophile,the polyaspartate derivatives are prone to reacting with other compounds for the modification.It is noted that the controllability of the control-release systems will be well improved through the researches of the influence factors of the degrading velocity and the new modifying method,additionally,the polyaspartate derivatives will be applied in the drug delivery field widely.
