12 cases of COPD with cor pulmonale and 5 health volunteers were observed while load dose of aminophylline (6mg/kg) was infused intraveneously.LVEF,LVER were measured by 113In-nuclide before and after administration,and FEV1.0,FVC,and arterial blood gas were determined.Serum concentration of theophylline was measured simultaneously.The results showed:(I) In COPD and cor pulmonale patients 10/12 (85%) showed abnormal LVEF,LVER without evidence of coronary heart disease.The results suggested that left ventricular performance were impaired.(2)After load dose of ami-nophylline infusion the left ventricular performance and pulmonary ventilation were improved synchronously.It suggested that aminophylline may be a drug of choice in the stable state of these patients.

Objective To explore the magnetic properties of permanent magnet wafers commonly used in magnetotherapy to provide a basis for the scientific and rational use of sources of magnetism.Methods A magnetometer was used to measure the magnetic induction intensities of the N and S polar centers of eight groups of magnet wafers (axial magnetization) with nominal magnetic induction intensities of 6 mT, 10 mT, 20 mT, 30 mT, 60 mT,100 mT, 200 mT and 350 mT.Results There were some differences between the nominal values and the measured mean magnetic induction intensities. In a few groups the differences were close to 20％. There were also differences within the same group. The magnetic induction intensities of the two polar surfaces were not always equal for the same magnet, and there were large differences among individual magnets.Conclusions The intensities of magnetic sources must be measured before use to ensure the consistency of magnetic induction intensities in therapeutic applications.

Objective To study the professional value of freshman who specializes in nursing in college,which can help us to take effective strategies to help nursing students form correct and steady professional value.Methods 208 nursing students in college were investigated with nursing professional value questionnaire.Results The total score of the professional value of freshman was (124.53±3.41)points,and caring was (32.41±1.39) points,trust was (22.98±1.64) points,justice was(26.66±l.55) points,profession was (19.73±1.27) points and behaviorism was (22.94±1.31) points among the professional value.Compared with the female nursing students,the scores of the professional values in trust,justice and behaviorism were lower in male,and the score of trust dimension was significantly lower.But the score of the item “Patients have the right to accept or refuse treatment and caring” in justice was significantly lower in female nursing students than male.Conclusions The professional value of nursing students were not optimistic,especially in male nursing students.So colleges and universities need to find effective ways to enhance the training of the professional value of nursing students.

Objective To observe the effects of permanent magnetic fields with different magnetic inductions on oxidative damage to human brain microvascular endothelial cells (HBMECs) under normal and hypoxic conditions. Methods HBMECs were cultured in vitro under normal and hypoxic conditions,then divided into a control group and groups receiving magnetic induction at 8.1,16.5,20.3,26.0,27.3,62.5,110.7 and 215.6 mT.Changes in superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity and malondialdehyde (MDA) content in each group were measured 72 h after exposure to the magnetic fields. Results Under normal conditions the SOD activities of the magnetic groups were not significantly different from that of the control group. Only the MDA content of the 215.6 mT group was statistically different (slightly higher) than that of the control group (P ＜ 0.05 ).Under hypoxic conditions,there was again no statistically significant difference in SOD activity,but the MDA content of the 110.7 mT group was significantly lower. Conclusions Under normal conditions,a 215.6 mT permanent magnetic field has an effect on MDA in HBMECs; under hypoxic conditions a 110.7 mT permanent magnetic field has such an effect.

RESULT Trabecullar bone mass at doses of 4 5 and 13 5 mg?kg -1 CP reduced markedly, While dose of 1 5 mg?kg -1 CP has no influence on trabecullar bone mass.CONCLUSION Cyclophosphamide has stronger influences on bone tissue and structure in rats. It can be used to make the rat model of osteoporosis.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the nephroprotective effects of transplanting metanephric mesenchymal cells (MMCs) into the renal subcaspsule of rats with acute tubular necrosis (ATN) induced by gentamicin. MethodsMMCs were expanded in culture and immunocytochemistry was used to characterize the cells. After gentamicin-induced ATN, fluorescence-labeled cells were transplanted and traced in kidney tissues by fluorescence microscopy. Serum creatinine (Scr) and N-acetyl-b-D-glucosaminidase (NAG) were tested. Kidney pathology was studied by hematoxylin-eosin staining. Apoptosis was examined by the TUNEL assay. Ki-67 and Bcl-2 expression was examined by immunohistochemistry. ResultsMMCs were expanded in culture and the phenotype of the cells was vimentin-positive and keratin-negative. Compared with other ATN groups, in the MMCs-treated group, Scr and NAG clearly decreased[14d Scr: (101.38±20.46) μmol/L vs (248.78±23.15), (252.98±33.52), (229.08±18.18) μmol/L;NAG: (14.83±7.74) U/L vs (33.33±14.88), (29.62±10.54), (30.22±10.94) U/L, P<0.05, respectively];the histopathoiogic lesion scores were lower (P<0.05);the Ki-67 antibody and apoptosis of renal tubular epithelial cells were improved or reduced respectively;the expression of Bcl-2 protein was up-regulated (P<0.05). ConclusionThe subcapsular transplantation of MMCs can ameliorate renal function and repair kidney injury.

BACKGROUND:Stem cell transplantation provides a new approach to treat chronic renal disease.Specific marking and in vivo tracing of stern cells are the basis of studies in this field.However,the marking methods appropriate for all cells remain uncertain.OBJECTIVE:To observe the in vivo location and differentiation of 4',6-diamidino-2-phenylindole (DAPI) and green fluorescence protein (GFP)-Iabeled cells in adriamycin nephrosis rats so as to explore an efficient labeling and tracing method for metanephric mesenchymal cells (MMCs) derived from embryonic rats.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Grouping comparative observation was performed at the Second Xiangya Hospital of Central South University from April to December 2007.MATERIALS:A total of 60 female SD rats,weighing 180-220 g,of dean grade,were used to establish models of adriamycin nephrosis.METHODS:DAPI and MMCs infected with GFP and DAPI were respectively injected into addamycin nephrosis via the tail vein.DAPI and GFP distribution in the frozen sections was detected at 1,3,and 5 weeks,postoperatively.In addition,GFP expression in renal tissues was detected by ABC immunoenzymatic staining method.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:DAPI and GFP-labeled Cell grafts in adriamycin nephrosis rats were compared.The changes of GFP-transfected MMCs at different time points were observed.RESULTS:DAPI positive cells were observed in tubular structures after 1 weeks of injection of DAPI-labeled cells and DAPI alone,and remained existing at 5 weeks,but the florescence was reduced with time.GFP-transfected MMCs were able to survive and integrate into tubular structures after 1 week,and remained existing at 5 weeks.Moreover,the fluorescence was not reduced.ABC immunoanzymatic staining showed that only a few GFP-positive MMCs appeared in glomerular tufts,and mainly distributed in cytoplasm.Semi-quantitative evaluation of GFP show that the positive cell rate in rats with early application was greater than that with advanced application,and the positive rate was increased with time.CONCLUSION:Liposome mediated GFP gene transfer was an efficient labeling in vitro and suitable tracing method for cell differentiation experiment in vivo,suitable for short-term tracing and observation of transplanted cells.
