Objective To observe the curative effect and recurrence rate of desmopressin acetate(DDAVP) combined with bladder training therapy on primary nocturnal enuresis(PNE) in chlidren.Methods One hundred children with PNE were randomly divided into control group and observation group(50 cases in each group).Children in control group were treated with simple DDAVP,and patients in observation group were treated with bladder training while DDAVP was using.The course of treatment were 3 months.The therapeutic effect between the 2 groups when the treatment was finished was compared and then followed up all the cases for 3 months to compare the near-term and long-term recurrence rate between the 2 groups.SPSS 13.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results The total effective rate in control group was 72.9%,and the near-term recurrence rate and the long-term recurrence rate were 22.9% and 54.3%,respectively.The total effective rate in observation group was 91.3%,and the near-term recurrence rate and the long-term recurrence rate were 11.9% and 28.6%,respectively.The total effective rate was significantly higher in observation group than that in control group(Z=-1.972,P=0.049).The near-term recurrence rate in 2 groups had no significant difference(?2=1.632,P=0.201).The long-term recurrence rate was extremely lower in observation group than that in control group(?2=5.249,P=0.022).Conclusions There is significant curative effect that DDAVP combined with bladder training therapy on PNE in children,and it can lower the long-term recurrence rate.

Objective To analyze the differences of immune responses against Mycobacterium tu-berculosis antigens induced in two different nonhuman primates and to provide rationales for the selection of suitable animal models for vaccine efficacy evaluation.Methods Expression of functional surface markers including CD69 and HLA-DR, the activation markers on CD4+and CD8+T cells from in rhesus macaques and cynomolgus monkeys were measured by flow cytometry analysis.PBMCs were isolated from rhesus ma-caques and cynomolgus monkeys with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection and stimulated with PPD and pep-tide pools ( ESAT-6/CFP-10) .Enzyme-linked imunospot ( ELISPOT) assay was performed to detect IFN-γproducing lymphocytes.Results The CD4+and CD8+T cells isolated from rhesus macaques without Myco-bacterium tuberculosis infection expressed higher levels of CD69 and HLA-DR than those from healthy cyno-molgus monkeys (P<0.01).The numbers of IFN-γspot forming cells/106 PBMCs in rhesus macaques with Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection for 10 and 11 months were respectively 3 and 3.5 times higher than that of cynomolgus monkeys upon after the stimulation of PBMCs with PPD.The levels of IFN-γproduction by the cells from rhesus macaque group were also higher than those from cynomolgus monkey group upon after the stimulation of PBMCs with ESAT-6 or CFP-10 peptide pools.Conclusion More IFN-γproducing cells were induced in rhesus macaques than that in cynimolgus monkeys after stimulation with Mycobacterium tu-berculosis antigens.Therefore, the rhesus macaques might be a better animal model for evaluating immune responses induced by Mycobacterium tuberculosis vaccines.

In this paper, the new carbon nanotube modified glassy carbon electrode (F-CNTs/GCE) was prepared to establish a new method for studying the molecular interaction mechanism between baicalin metal complexes (BMC) and bovine serum album (BSA), and the principle of this method was discussed deeply. Under the physiological condition, the thermodynamics and kinetics properties of interaction between BMC and BSA were studied by cyclic voltammetry (CV) to inference their molecular effective mechanism. The results show that the presence of F-CNTs can accelerate the electron transfer, and better response signal was showed in the BMC/BMC-BSA system. The detection of interaction of BMC-BSA used new method show that BMC-BSA generates stable thermodynamically non-covalent compounds, and the obtained average binding sites of BMC-BSA were 1.7; the number of electron transfer in BMC/BMC-BSA reaction process was 2, and non electroactive supramolecular compounds of BMC-BSA were generated by this interacting reaction. The relevant research work provides a new way to study the molecular mechanism for the interaction of drugs with protein, and with a certain reference value for discussion on the non covalent interactions.

Streptozotocin-induced diabetic model was prepared in Wistar rats and the blood glucose levels were controlled at 3 levels of＜10,10-14 mmol/L or＞16.7 mmol/L by insulin,and changes of glucose transporter(GLUT)1 and 3 protein expressions of brain were observed in control rats and diabetic rats with different blood glucose levels by immunohistochemistry.The results showed that chronic hyperglycemia could decrease the protein expressions of GLUT 1 and GLUT3.

Objective To compare four methods of monitoring vascularization of tissue engineered bone in the rhesus so as to find our the best. Methods Twenty-five lower limbs of 13 rhesuses were used in this study to make models of tibial diaphyseal defect of 20mm which were to be fixed with an AO reconstruction plate of 7 holes. The monkeys were randomly divided into five groups according to defect filling materials: group A:?-tricalcium phosphate (?-TCP) and bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) and blood vessel bundles; group B:?-TCP and blood vessel bundles; group C:?-TCP and BMSCs; group D:?-TCP; group E: blank. Perfusion weighted MR imaging (PWMR), X-ray, radionuclide imaging and histological examinations were carried out at weeks 4, 8, 12 postop- eratively. The maximum slope rates of the single intensity-time curve (SS_(max)) and values of baseline (Sl_(?))were calculated at the same time points. Transmittances of the X-ray films were assessed. Ratios between isotope counts in region of interest (ROI) were calculated. Chinese ink perfusion and calculation of blood vessel areas were done for histological examinations, Results Compared with other groups, the SS_(max) in group A was the highest at weeks 4, 8, 12 postoperatively. In group A, the SS_(max) at week eight was significantly higher than that at week four (P= 0. 003), and the SS_(max) and transmittance of X-ray were negatively related at week 12 after operation (rs=-0. 892, P=0. 042), but the SS_(max) and blood vessel area were positively related (rs=0. 894, P=0.041)Conclusions PWMR can be a sensitive, quantitative, noninvasive and non-radiant method to monitor vascularization of tissue engineered bone, because SS_(max) of the single intensity-time curve of PWMR can reflect the most accurately the process of vascularization of tissue engineered bone.

Based on the conserved region nucleotide sequences of five potato viruses/viroid(Alfalfa Mosaic Virus,ALMV;Cucumber mosaic virus,CMV;Cucumber mosaic virus-satellite,CMV-sat;Potato virus Y,PVY;Potato spindle tuber viroid,PSTVd) and one inner control(18S rRNA),the microarray containing specific oligonucleotide probes and PCR probes were designed and fabricated.The effects of probe concentration,hybridization time,hybridization temperature and spotting solutions on microarray hybridiazation were evaluated.Finally the specificity of optimized plant virus detection array was validated.No significant effect on hybridization signal intensity was observed when the concentration of the oligonucleotide probes ranged from 5 to 20 ?mol/L,there was a linear relationship between the concentration of PCR probe and hybridization signal intensity.The greatest signal intensity were obtained when hybridized at 45℃ for 4 h,and the oligonucleotide probes and PCR probes had a similar effect on microarray hybrization.Among the different spotting solutions,DMSO produced a good reproducibility.The plant virus could be detected specifically by oligonucleotide probe microarray and PCR probe microarray after optimization.

The impact of hypofunction of kidney on evaluating of islets β cell function in patients with type 2 diabetes was investigated. 635 type 2 diabetic patients with normal liver function were grouped using Cockcroft-Gault. Following the decrease in kidney function, blood C-peptide concentration was increased with decreased urinary exeretion of C-peptide(P<0. 05). It is proposed to pay an attention to renal function while evaluating islets β cell function in the patients.

Objective To investigate the correlation between 25-hydroxyvitamin D [ 25 ( OH ) D ] and indicators of glucose metabolism in inpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus .Method We retrospectively ana-lyzed the clinical records of 214 inpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus , including age , body mass index (BMI), systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and laboratory test results such as serum parathyroid hormone (PTH), 25(OH)D, creatinine, calcium, phosphorus, glycosylated hemoglobin A1c (HbA1c), fast-ing blood glucose , and fasting insulin .Results The prevalence of vitamin D deficiency was high in these pa-tients, with 47.2%of them having a serum 25(OH)D concentration lower than 10 ng/ml.Using 25(OH)D level less than 10 ng/ml as the cut-off point, the patients were divided into vitamin D severe deficiency (Vit-SD) group and vitamin D non-severe deficiency (Vit-NSD) group.Compared with the Vit-NSD group, the Vit-SD group had younger age [ (55.27 ±13.71) years vs.(60.76 ±12.32) years, P=0.001] and higher HbA1c level [ (9.00 ±2.01)% vs.(8.45 ±1.86)%, P=0.025].BMI [ (25.09 ±4.01) kg/m2 vs.(25.39 ± 3.53) kg/m2, P=0.523], fasting blood glucose [ (8.91 ±3.31) mmol/L vs.(8.16 ±3.02) mmol/L, P=0.063], fasting serum insulin [ (21.32 ±32.50) mIU/L vs.(21.92 ±26.95) mIU/L, P=0.873] and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index (97.60 ±8.92 vs.7.53 ±9.39, P=0.954) in these two groups were with no statistically significant difference .The association analyses showed that HbA 1c was sig-nificantly negatively correlated with 25 ( OH ) D ( r =-0.190 , P=0.003 ) and not correlated with serum PTH, calcium, or phosphorus , after adjusting for age and creatinine .Multiple linear regression revealed that HbA1c had a significantly negative correlation with age (β=-0.220, P=0.000) and 25 (OH) D (β=-0.184 , P=0.000 ) .Conclusions There is high prevalence of vitamin D deficiency in inpatients with type 2 diabetes mellitus, which is even higher in relatively young patients .Serum 25 (OH) D may be negatively correlated with HbA1c in these patients independently from age , BMI, fasting serum insulin, and homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance index .
