Objective To explore the temporal expressions of TIMP-1 and their relationship with injury time during electric injuris of hearts of rats.Methods Immunohistorichemical and image-analysis techniques were employed in 220V-electric injury of hearts during different time.ResultsWeak expression of TIMP-1 are deteced at 0.5h after electric injury,which increased subsequently,and peaked at 24~72h post-injury.Then decreased to pre-injury level at 12d.Conclusion The time-dependent expression of TIMP-1 during electric injury may be used for the estimation of injury time.

AIM : To establish a HPLC method for simultaneous determination of rutin and naringenin-7-o-glucoside in Lysimachia clethroide Duby.METHODS: Using Diamonsil C_(18) (4.6 mm×250 mm,5 μm) as analytical column.The mobile phase consisted of acetonitrile (A) and 0.1% phosphoric acid ( B ) with gradient elution : 0～18rain,83%～80% B; 18～30 min,80%～86% B.The detection wavelength of rutin and naringenin-7-o-glucoside was at 254 nm and 281 nm,respectively.The flow rate was 1.0 mL/min; Column temperature was at 35 ℃.RESULTS: A better separating effect was obtained with the HPLC gradient elution method.The linear calibration curve of rutin and naringenin-7-o-glucoside were obtained in the concentration range of 1.00～48.00 μg/mL( r =0.999 3 ) and 0.64 ～ 40.72 μg/mL( r = 0.999 8 ),respectively.CONCLUSION : The HPLC method is accurate,simple and can be used to determine the contents of rutin and naringenin-7-o-glucoside in Lysimachia clethroide Duby simultaneously.

Objective To evaluate the effect of free NgR-modified bone marrow stromal cell (BMSC) transplantation on axon regeneration in rats after spinal cord injury. Methods Genes encoding free NgR protein were cloned and transduced into BMSCs at passage 3 using a lentivirus vector.Indirect immunofluorescence was used to detect the expression of free NgR protein.Meanwhile a spinal cord contusion model was established in 36 adult Sprague-Dawley rats at the T10 segment.The rats were then divided randomly into an experimental group and a control group.NgR + BMSCs were transplanted into the injured site 1 week post-trauma in the experimental group.BMSCs were also transplanted at the same time into the control group.Expression of free NgR at the injury site was detected by immunohistochemical staining at 1 week post-transplantation.The functional recovery of both groups was evaluated at 4 and 6 weeks post-transplantation.Longitudinal sections of the spinal cord were studied for axon regeneration using horseradish peroxidase staining. Results Expression of free NgR was found in the cell plasma of BMSCs by indirect immunofluorescence post-transfection.Positive immunohistochemical staining for NgR was found at the transplant site in the experimental group 1 week post-transplantation.Better axon plasticity could be observed in the experimental group.The Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan scoring of the experimental group was significantly higher than that of the controls at both observation times. Conclusions Free NgR-modified BMSCs can prompt injured axons to regenerate and thus to promote the recovery of neurological function.This might provide a new strategy to treat spinal cord injury.

Wnt signaling pathway is not only closely related to tumor invasion and metastasis,such as cancer cells migration and adhesion,extracellular matrix degradation,and angiogenesis,but also plays an important role in self-renewal,proliferation and differentiation of tumor stem cells.Progress has been made in high specific genes drug development and targeted therapy against the Wnt signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the air pollution in indoor air and outdoor air of countryside Methods The concentrations of PM 10 and SO 2 in indoor air and outdoor air of 324 families randomly selected in coutryside of southwest Anhui province were mornitored during the period from January to April in 1999,and the use of fuel for cooking and heating was investigated by questionnaire in every selected family Results The average concentrations were more than 150 mg/m 3 for PM 10 and less than 150 mg/m 3 for SO 2 in indoor air and outdoor air.There was no significant correlation between the concentrations of PM 10 and SO 2 Conclusion There existed heavier air pollution by air particulate pollutants,which caused by the burning of firewood for cooking and heatining the observed countryside area in winter

AIM: To study the effects of dexamethasone (DXM) on intracellular expression of TH1/TH2 cytokines and the mechanism of that during the development of asthma. METHODS: Eighteen BALB/c mice were divided into 3 groups at random: control group, asthma group, and DXM treated group, with 6 mice in each. The expressions of T-box expressed in T cells (T-bet) and GATA-binding protein-3 (GATA-3) in lung tissue were detected by Western blotting. The expressions of intracellular cytokines interleukin-4 and interferon-? in CD4+ T cell were measured by flowcytometry.RESULTS: The results of flow cytometry indicated that the ratio of intracellular cytokines IL-4/IFN-? in CD4+ T cells in asthma group was much higher than that in control group (P

Objective To analyze inducing factors of acute left heart failure(AHF) of emergency case.Methods According to different age and gender,the inducing factors of AHF of 211 patients were retrospectively analyzed.Results Infection(42.99%) was the most important inducing factors of AHF in all the four age-groups,but as for patients elder 80,the arrhythmias was also play an important part in inducing factors of AHF.The difference of inducing factors was found among the four age-groups.but the difference of inducing factors was not found between the two gender-groups. Conclusion Since the most important inducing factors of AHF of emergency case was infection,anti-infectives is important for preventing and controlling AHF.
