Objective To observe the effect of low arsenic sub-chronic exposure on blood routine test index in rabbits to pave a way for screening early injury of the low arsenic exposure. Methods Twelve healthy male rabbits were randomly divided into four groups. They were administrated with As at the concentration of 0(control), 10, 50 and 250 μg/L in the drinking water. Blood samples were collected from the vein of the ear edge in 8 weeks, and blood test routine including leukocyte (WBC), lymphocyte (LYM), lymphocyte percentage (LYM%), neutrophil (GRA), neutrophil percentage (GRA%), monocyte (MON), monocyte percentage (MON%), red blood cell (RBC), hemoglobin (HGB), hematocrit (HCT), mean corpuscular volume (MCV), mean corpuscular hemoglobin content (MCH), mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentration(MCHC), RDW, platelets(PLT), mean platelet volume(MPV), platelet hematocrit(PCT) and platelet distribution width (PDW), were detected by the ABX-60 hemocyte analyzer. Results Compared with the control group, the WBC, GRA and GRA% increased in 0, 50 and 250 μg/L groups, but there was no significance(P > 0.05). PLT and MPV had a statistical significance in 4 groups(F = 4.07,4.20, all P < 0.05). Compared with the control group[(292.00±16.97)×109/L, (7.10±0.99)fL], PLT decreased in the 250 μg/L group [(221.33±22.50)×109/L] and MPV decreased in the 50μg/L group [(5.57±0.46)fL] significantly (P < 0.05). The other index didn't change obviously. Conclusions Sub-chronic low level arsenic exposure may lead to the change in the blood system. The blood routine test may be considered for early injury of the arsenic poisoning.

Objective:To investigate effects of different doses of dexmedetomidine on postoperative cognitive function in elderly colon cancer patients undergoing the general anesthesia.Methods:A total of 80 elderly colorectal cancer patients aged 65 to 80 years old who received the surgery with the American Society of Anesthesiologists (ASA) grade Ⅱ-Ⅲ in Benxi Central Hospital of Liaoning Province were selected. According to the random number table, all patients were divided into 4 groups: the experiment group (group DD, group DM, group DX grouped by the dose of dexmedetomidine) and the control group. All groups were intravenously injected with 0.5 μg/kg loading dose dexmedetomidine in 10 minutes before induction of anesthesia; after induction of anesthesia, group DD was continuously pumped into 0.7 μg·kg -1·h -1, group DM was continuously pumped into 0.5 μg·kg -1·h -1, group DX was continuously pumped into 0.2 μg·kg -1·h -1, and all patients had drug withdrawal in 30 min before the end of the surgery. Under the same condition, group NS was injected with the same volume of 0.9% saline. The levels of serum S-100β protein and neuron specific enolase (NSE) of all groups were measured at the day before operation and 30 min, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, 24 h after operation; Mini-mental state examination (MMSE) score was performed in all groups at the day before operation and 1 d, 3 d, 7 d after operation. The change of postoperative cognitive function and adverse reactions of all groups were also compared. Results:After screening, 72 out of 80 patients met the criteria (19 patients in group DD, 17 patients in group DM, 18 patients in group DX and 18 patients in the control group). There were no statistically significant differences in levels of serum S100β protein and NSE among 4 groups before operation (all P > 0.05), while there were statistically significant differences in levels of S100β protein and NSE at different time points after operation among all groups (all P < 0.05). The levels of S100β protein and NSE after operation in all groups at different time points were higher than those before operation (all P < 0.05). On the 1st day after operation, MMSE scores of 4 groups were significantly different ( P < 0.05); 3 d after operation, the difference in MMSE score was statistically significant when the control group was compared with group DD and group DX (all P < 0.05); 7 d after operation, the difference was statistically significant between the control group and group DX ( P < 0.05). Cognitive function decline or perioperative neurocognitive disorders (PND) occurred in 2 cases in group DD, 1 case in group DM, 2 cases in group DX, 8 cases in the control group. The rate of cognitive function changes in group DD, group DM and group DX was lower than that in the control group ( P < 0.05). Adverse reactions occurred in 9 patients in group DD, 7 patients in group DM, 4 patients in group DX, and 3 patients in the control group, and there was no significant difference in the incidence of adverse reactions among all groups ( P > 0.05). Conclusions:Dexmedetomidine can slow the decline in postoperative cognitive function after general anesthesia and reduce the incidence of PND for elderly patients with colorectal cancer. Furthermore, dexmedetomidine’s improvement on postoperative cognitive function has no dose-dependence.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of Tpo and/or IL-11 gene modified stromal cells on the expansion of CD(34)(+) hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells in cord blood.
METHODSRetroviral vectors containing Tpo or IL-11 gene were constructed and used to transfect the stromal cell line HFCL. Tpo and/or IL-11 mRNA was assayed by Northern blot. Non-modified stromal cells were used, CD(34)(+) hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells from cord blood were expanded on gene-modified stromal cells for 7 days. The phenotype of CD(34)(+)CD(38)(-) primitive progenitors was detected by flow cytometry.
RESULTSHFCL expressed Tpo and/or IL-11 mRNA after transfected by the retroviral vectors. The percentages of CD(34)(+)CD(38)(-) primitive progenitors in the cultures of Tpo, IL-11 and Tpo + IL-11 modified HFCL were (1.8 +/- 0.24)%, (1.62 +/- 0.23)%, and (2.45 +/- 0.28)%, respectively, which were higher than that in the control [(0.8 +/- 0.23)%].
CONCLUSIONThe stromal cells modified by Tpo and/or IL-11 gene were able to enhance ex vivo expansion of CD(34)(+) and CD(34)(+)CD(38)(-) hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells from cord blood.

Stem cells in the individual life are the cell population with high self-renewal capacity and multiple differentiation potential. At present, embryonic stem cells and tissue stem cells are the major objects for study in the field of stem cell engineering. At the same time, with the development of tissue engineering, cell replacement therapy became a new approach to treat some diseases. Tissue stem cells were tried to expand and committedly induce in vitro to some cells that are needed, then implanted them into patients to repair damage, replace regressive tissue and improve the function of hereditarily defect tissue. Based on recent progress of research on stem cells, this paper reviewed the biological characters and clinic application prospects of tissue stem cells.

OBJECTIVETo compare the knee osteoarthritis (OA) models in rabbits by different concentrations of papain and provide data for exploring pathogenesis and treatments of this disease.
METHODSSixty New Zealand white rabbits were randomly divided into four groups of 15 each and given injections into the right knee on days 1, 3 and 5 including intra-articular injections of 2%, 5% or 10% (w/v) papain and 0.03 mol/L L-cysteine at the dose of 0.1 ml/kg (experimental groups). The 0.9% NaCl (w/v) with a dose of 0.1 ml/kg were injected intra-articularly into the right knees of rabbits in the control group. The rabbits were sacrificed at 2, 4, 6 weeks respectively after the initiation of papain injection and these OA models were evaluated through recording the width of knee joint, performing the morphological observation and histological evaluation of articular cartilage and synovium.
RESULTSThe degenerative changes were demonstrated in knee joints of rabbit in all experimental groups, such as thinner articular cartilage, fibrillation and destroyed cartilage matrix, and inflammation, proliferation, and degeneration of the synovial tissue. All these changes were much worse with increased concentration and prolonged observation time.
CONCLUSIONDifferent severity of OA are established through intra-articular injections of 2%, 5% or 10% papain and 0.03 mol/L L-cysteine at the dose of 0.1 ml/kg. These models are of the characters of short period and a good reproducibility.
