Herpes simplex virusⅠ(HSVⅠ) regulating the pathway of transcription and translation modify in host cell is a very systematic and complicate system. A clear understanding of the concrete mechanisms of infection will greatly help to comprehend the virus replication and the interaction with the host cell. By the analysis of 2-DE, the heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein H2 in human fetal liver cell represent distinction after the HSVⅠinfection.Utilization of Northern blot and Western blot technologies verified the expression of hnRNP H2 in different stage of virus infection is varied.

OBJECTIVETo investigate of the value of monitoring of saturation of blood oxygen of the injured extremity on prevention of osteofascial compartmental syndrome.

METHODSTwenty patients of osteofascial compartmental syndrome included 13 male and 7 female with an average age of 32 years ranging from 13 to 60. There were 13 cases of tibial and fibual fractures, 3 cases of tibial plateau fractures, 4 cases of femoral shaft fractures. SpO2 on the end of injured extremities were dynamic monitored and osteofascial compartmental pressure was measured by modified Whiteside method. The data of two group were compared.

RESULTSAmong 20 cases, it's negative correlation between the data of pulse blood oxygen saturation and osteofascial compartmental pressure.

CONCLUSIONThe method of dynamic monitor extremity SpO2 can reflect indirectly the ischemia in muscle and nerve and report the early diagnosis and management of osteofascial compartmental syndrome.

This study examined the effect of long-term administration of low-dose FTY720 on survival of murine cardiac allograft and the possible mechanism. Murine models of abdominal heterotopic heart transplantation were established. Low-dose FTY720 (0.3 mg/kg) was administrated to the animals 4 days before the transplantation of cardiac allografts until the occurrence of rejection or the observation terminals. The animals without FTY720 treatment and those with syngeneic cardiac grafts transplanted served as controls. The mean survival time (MST) of grafts, and T lymphocyte subsets in grafts, peripheral blood and lymphoid organs were measured by histopathological examination or flow cytometry, and compared among groups. The results showed that the MST of allografts in FTY720-treated mice was more than 40 days, significantly longer than that in the untreated group (MST=8 days, P<0.01). After the long-term administration of FTY720, the proportion of CD4(+) and CD8(+) lymphocytes in peripheral blood was diminished significantly, but the proportion of CD4(+) lymphocytes was increased in mesenteric lymph nodes (MLNs) and spleen. Immunofluorescence staining revealed that the infiltration of CD4(+) and CD8(+) lymphocytes in allografts was significantly inhibited after long-term administration of low-dose FTY720. It was concluded that low-dose long-term administration of FTY720 could promote T lymphocytes in lymphatic organs and decrease their infiltration in allografts, resulting in the inhibition of rejection and the long-term survival of allografts.

OBJECTIVESTo investigate sexual function before and after kidney transplantation in patients with chronic nephrosis.

METHODSEighty-six male patients were divided into 3 age groups: young-age group (Group A), middle-age group(Group B) and elder-age group(Group C). Sexual function, including potency, frequency and satisfaction of intercourse before and after the sickening, and after transplantation, were recorded in each group.

RESULTSAll the patients were potent before suffering from nephrosis. The proportion of patients who were potent after catching the disease in Group A, B and C was 28.6%, 13.8% and 9.1%, respectively. Notably, the proportion of patients remaining potent after transplantation in Group A, B and C was 88.6%, 75.9% and 63.6%, respectively.

CONCLUSIONSQuality of sexual life is significantly improved after kidney transplantation. The younger the patients, the better the improvement.

Sexual motivation refers to the intensity of willingness to have sex with or near a potential partner and is important for sexual health.At present,low sexual desire has become an increasingly prominent social problem,and there are no unified standards for its detection and evaluation.In this paper,we systematically sorted out the commonly used methods for detecting sexual motivation in male rats,including the three major categories of male-female mating,competitive selection and task acquisition,and discussed the relevant evaluation indexes and the advantages and disadvantages of various methods.We also explored the nature of sexual motivation,elaborated sexual contact behavior as a direct manifestation of sexual motivation,and proposed focusing relevant studies on contact be-haviors and differentiating sexual proximity from social proximity.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) as seed cells for the repair of tendon defect.

METHODSThe MSCs were isolated, amplified and identified by detection of surface protein CD44 mRNA. A 3 cm long defect was made in the Achilles tendon of the rabbit. The rabbits were divided into experimental (E) and control (C) groups. The autologous MSCs were implanted into a collagen-polyglycolic acid (PGA) scaffold to form a tissue-engineered tendon, which was then transplanted to bridge the defect in the E group, while only collagen-PGA was transplanted to bridge the defect in the C group. The transplanted tendon was observed grossly and microscopically at 4, 8, 12 weeks after operation.

RESULTSThe cultured MSCs exhibited positive staining of CD44 on 11 days after in vitro culture. A tendon-like tissue could be discerned at the operation site in the E group 4 weeks after operation. Tendon-like cells similar to normal tendon tissue, being axially arranged in collagen matching the mechanical direction, with uniform morphology could be seen in E group 12 weeks after operation. The newly regenerated tissue in C group adhered to the adjacent tissue and was smaller than that in E group. The collagen fibers in the regenerated tissue were loose with reticular and filiform structure, and the cells were arranged disorderly 12 weeks after the transplantation.

CONCLUSIONIt is feasible to repair the tendon defect with autologous MSCs as seed cells.

BACKGROUNDThe prevalence of malocclusion in modern population is higher than that in the excavated samples from the ancient times. Presently, the prevalence of juvenile malocclusion in the early stage of permanent teeth is as high as 72.92% in China. This study aimed to observe and evaluate the prevalence and severity of malocclusions in a sample of Xia Dynasty in China, and to compare these findings with the modern Chinese population.

METHODSThe material consisted of 38 male and 18 female protohistoric skulls of Xia Dynasty 4000 years ago. Of 86 dental arches, 29 cases had the jaw relationships. Tooth crowding, diastema, individual tooth malposition and malocclusion were studied.

RESULTSOf the samples, 23.3% showed tooth alignment problems including crowding (8.1%), diastema (9.3%), and individual tooth malposition (5.8%). The prevalence of malocclusion was 27.6%, mainly presented as Angle Class I.

CONCLUSIONSIt is indicated that over thousands of years from Neolithic Age (6000 - 7000 years ago) to Xia Dynasty (4000 years ago), the prevalence of malocclusion did not change significantly. The prevalence of malocclusion of Xia Dynasty samples was much lower than that of modern population.
