AlamarBlue were used to determine the effect of various concentration of bovine plasma fibronectin on the proliferation of the osteoblasts. ELISA method was used to determine the alkaline phosphatase activity of the cells. Results: Fibronectin stimulated the proliferation of rat osteoblasts at 40 ?g/ml (P

OBJECTIVE:To find out the main problems about quality supervision over Chinese herbal pieces and effective su-pervision strategies. MEDTHODS:First,static and dynamic models of the game between the enterprises engaged in the production and business of Chinese herbal pieces and local food and drug administration were respectively established,to which pure strategy Nash equilibrium analysis and mixed strategy Nash equilibrium analysis were made. Next,the model of the game between the supe-rior regulatory authorities and the basic-level regulatory authorities was established,to which mixed strategy analysis was made to find out the supervision factors relevant to the quality safety of Chinese herbal pieces. RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:Based on the current situation of quality supervision over Chinese herbal pieces and the analysis results of the game models,it is suggested that at present the Chinese herbal medicine regulatory authorities of China should work hard to promote the reform of the supervision system,reduce supervision cost(including the guidance of the large-scale and centralized production of Chinese medicinal materi-als and unified appliance of approval number to the administration of Chinese herbal pieces),establish a systematic and comprehen-sive system of rewards and punishments,create a professional supervisor staff(including the strengthening of basic-level supervisor staff creation and the improvement of personnel's quality,the standardization of the law enforcement of regulatory authorities and the combination of proper power delegation to lower levels and strict supervision),and balance the relationship between the govern-ment and the public in supervision to increase the public's awareness of responsibility.

Objective To explore the changes and the clinical signficance in serum myocardial zymogram of patients with intracerebral be hemorrhage(ICH).Methods To estimate the serum myocardial zymogram.Serum aspartate aminotrasferase(AST),lactate dehychogenase (LDH),creatine kinas (CK) in patients with ICH were measured in 3 days,then to make comparison with control group.Results The serum myocardial zymogram in ICH group were higher than that of control group(P <0.05).There were different changes in serum myocardial zymogram of various parts.The serum myocardial zymogram in group with temporal lobe damage was higher than that of group without temporal lobe damage (P < 0.05).The serum myocardial zymogram of group with colliculus brain damage was higher than that of group without colliculus brain damage(P <0.05) ,the serum myocardial zymogram of group with disorder of consciousness was higher than that of group wakefulness(P < 0.05).Conclusion There are significant changes in the serum myocardial zymogram of patients with ICH.The incidence of the serum myocardial zymogram in ICH was close]y correlated to the severity area and part of ICH,consciousness disorder.To estimate serum zymogram is helpful to judge patients' state and prognosis.

Objective To observe the apoptosis or oncosis of pancreatic acinar cells of different severity of acute pancreatitis (AP) and the release level of enzymes in vitro, and to investigate the relationship between them. Methods Two-step enzymatic digestion method was used to separate pancreatic acinar cells into 4 groups. 0. 1 μg/ml of the caerulein was added in the AP group. Caerulein and LPS (bacterial lipopolysaccharide, 10 mg/L) were added in LPS group. Caerulein and OCT (octreotide, 100 ng/ml) were added in OCT group. Medium was added in the control group. AO (acridine orange) and EB (ethidium bromide) double staining method was used to detect the incidence of apoptosis or oncosis of acinar cell. The release of intracellular enzyme was detected by measuring the concentrations of amylase and LDH in cell culture media by colorimetry method. Results The apoptosis index was 2.2 + 0.4, 6.4 ± 0.6, 4.6 + 0.4, 11.2 +1.2 in the control group, AP group, LPS group, OCT group; while the oncosis index was 3.0 +0.4, 17.2 ±1.6, 23.0 ± 2.2, 12.8 ± 1.4 in the control group, AP group, LPS group, OCT group; the release of LDH was (2180 ±240), (8060 ±930), (9460 +920), (6860 ±740) U/dl, the level of amylase was (1750 ± 190),(3820 ±460), (4420 ±480), (2260 ±260)U/L. All the values in the experiment groups were significantly higher than that in control group ( P ＜ 0.05 ). The oncosis index, LDH, amylase in LPS group was significantly higher than that in AP group ( P ＜ 0.05 ), but the apoptosis index in LPS group was significantly lower than that in AP group ( P ＜ 0.05 ). The apoptosis index in OCT group was significantly higher than that in AP group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ), but the oncosis index, LDH, amylase was significantly lower than that in AP group ( P ＜ 0. 05 ).Conclusions Induction of apoptosis and reduction of oncosis in AP pancreatic acinar cells can reduce the release of enzyme in acinar cells.

Objective To investigate the correlation between histone deacetylase 9 gene ( HDAC9 ) single nucleotide polymorphisms and ischemic stroke ( IS) subtypes. Methods A total of 202 patients with IS were enrolled prospectively. According to the Trial of Org 10172 in Acute Stroke Treatment ( TOAST) classification,the patients with IS were divided into large artery atherosclerotic stroke group (LAA,n=149) and the small-artery occlusive stroke group (SAO,n=53). A total of 201 age- and sex-matched healthy subjects over the same period were enrolled as the control group. Polymerase chain reaction-ligase detection reaction ( PCR-LDR ) was used to perform genotyping for HDAC9 gene rs11984041 and rs2107595 loci in all subjects. The correlation between genotype and IS was analyzed with multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results ( 1 ) In all the subjects detected, the genotype detected from rs11984041 loci was type CC,and 3 genotypes including CC,CT,and TT were detected from rs2107595 loci. (2) There were significant differences in dominance model (CT+TT,CC) genotypes and allele frequencies among the LAA, SAO, and control group dominance model ( CT +TT, CC ) and (χ2 =8. 635,P=0. 013, χ2 =10. 309,P=0. 006);and there were no significant differences in dominance model (CT+TT,CC) and allele frequencies among the 3 groups (after adjustment all P>0. 017). Compared with the control group,there were significant differences in the CC,CT,and TT genotypes and allele frequencies in the LAA group (χ2 =7. 446;P=0. 006). In the dominance models (CT+TT),there was significant difference in genotype frequencies between the LAA group ( 65. 1%,97/149 ) and the control group (52. 2%,105/201) (χ2 =5. 800;P=0. 016). (3) Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that in addition to gender,hypertension,smoking,and high level of low-density lipoprotein,the dominance model CT+TT genotype was associated with the LAA type IS ( CT+TT genotype:OR,1. 909,95% CI 1. 055-3. 454,P =0. 033). Conclusion In addition to the risk factors for cerebrovascular disease such as gender,hypertension,smoking,and high level of low-density lipoprotein,HDAC9 gene polymorphisms may be associated with the LAA type IS. rs2107595 locus CT + TT genotype may be an independent risk factor for LAA type IS.
