diabeticfoot ulcer of rats induced by streptozotosin,and to find the significance of free radical scavenging and the antioxidative function.MethodsA total of 60 male wistar rats were randomized into the control group (20 rats) and diabetic model group (40 rats).The model group was induced to diabetic foot ulcer using streptozotosin tail intravenous injection,and the control group was injected equal citric acid-citric acid sodium buffer fluid instead.A rectangular full-thickness skin of dorsum of foot in the two groups was removed from model rats to construct diabetic foot ulcer.Serum zinc levels of the two groups were monitored,and immunohistochemical technique was used to detect the MT expression.ResultsSerum zinc levels in the model group( 1.17 ±0.09) was significantly lower than control group( 1.48 ±0.07),and the difference was statistically significant ( t =12.94,P ＜0.01 ).The MT expression in control group was low,while it significantly increased in diabetic model group,and the difference was statistically significant ( x2 =12.78,P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionsThe zinc levels and MT expression of diabetic foot ulcer rats may be associated with free radical scavenging and the antioxidative function.The increased expression of MT may play an important role in preventing the further development of diabetic foot ulcer disease.

Objective To investigate the relationship between tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in ischemic brain tissue and bran edema after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats.Methods Eighty four male SD rats were randomly assigned to either a cerebral ischemia reperfusion group (n =44) or a sham-operation group (n =40). A model of middle cerebral artery occlusion for 120 minutes followed by reperfusion was induced in rats using the suture method. The infarct size was determined by 2, 3, 5-triphenyi terazoloride (TTC) staining at 6 h,24 h, 3 d, and 7 d respectively after the reperfusion. Dry-wet weight method was used to measure brain water content and evaluate the extent of brain edema. The enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the concentration of TNF-α in ischemic brain tissue. Results TNF-α level in ischemic brain tissue was increased at 6 h (445.8 ±91.7 pg/ml) after the reperfusion, and reached the peak at day 3 (715.5 ±121.3 pg/ml). There were significant differences compared to the sham-operation group and other time points (all P＜0.001). After that, it was decreased gradually, but it was still higher than that in the shamoperation group at day 7 (478.1 ± 145.5 pg/ml vs. 148.5 ± 101.7 pg/ml, P＜0.005). The initial change of the water content in brain tissue lagged behind the increased TNF-α. It did not increase significantly until 24 h after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (P ＜0.001). It reached the peak at day 3 (P ＜0.001), and it was still higher than that in the control group at day 7 (P ＜0.05). The evolution of cerebral infarct volume was in accordance with the changes of TNF-α level. Conclusions TNF-α is associated with the changes of brain edema and infarct volume,and it is harmful to brain tissue.

A truncated mutant of the Open Reading Frame 2 (ORF2, aa384-606) was amplified from cDNA of genotype IV hepatitis E virus (HEV) by polymerase chain reaction (PCR), subcloned to expression plasmid pTO-T7, and expressed in Escherichia coli. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting were used to detect and identify the recombinant protein, namely rP24. After washing of inclusion bodies, dissolving in denaturing agents, refoldeding by dialysis, ion exchange chromatography and gel chromatography, dynamic light scatter was used to study the hydrated radius of rP24. Western blotting was applied to detect the immunoreactivity of rP24, and mouse immunity test and indirect enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) were applied to evaluate the immunogenicity and the detection rate of HEV positive and negative serum. SDS-PAGE and Western blotting show that rP24 was highly expressed in the form of inclusion bodies after induction, and had strong immunoreactivity to monoclonal antibody (McAb) 15B2. After a multi-step purification of rP24, Western blotting indicated that the purified rP24 also had strong immunoreactivity to neutralizing McAb 8C11 and HEV positive serum, suggesting that rP24 simulated the nature structure of HEV capsid protein. Dynamic light scatter demonstrated that the average hydration radius of purified rP24 was 7.48 nm. The mouse immunity test showed that the purified rP24 also had good immunogenicity, and the period of serum antibodies converted from negative to positive was very short, but the antibodies maintained more than 20 weeks. Indirect ELISA tests showed that the detection rate of was the same as anti-HEV-IgG diagnostic kit (Wan Tai corporation). Taken together, the rP24 simulated the neutralizing epitopes of natural HEV, and had strong immunoreactivity and immunogenicity. It provided a basis for the further investigation of the difference of infection mechanism between genotype I and genotype IV HEV.

Objective Sphingolipidoses are a group of rare genetic disorders caused by catabolism defect of sphingolipids by lysosomal hydrolases with diverse presentations,and represent an important health problem to almost all ethnic populations. To date,there is no epidemiologic study on the prevalence of sphinglipidoses,individually,or as a group,in China. We set up a series of enzymatic assays that could make definite diagnoses with the aim to collect data for an epidemiologic investigation of sphingolipidoses and also pave the way to prenatal diagnosis to decrease the rate of inborn error of metabolism. Methods Patients with suspected sphingolipidosis were recruited from pediatric endocrinology and inherited metabolism outpatient clinics of Xinhua Hospital. Leukocytes were isolated with dextran from peripheral bloods. Activities of leukocyte acid β-glucosidase,acid sphingomyelinase,arylsulphatase A,galacto-cerebrosidase,beta-galactosidase were measured using their specific artificial fluorescent substrates,while arylsulfatase A was determined by a colorimetric assay with dipotassium 2-hydroxy-5-nitrophenyl sulfate as the substrate. Results In one year,we identified 17 patients with 5 different kinds of sphingolipidoses,including 3 patients with Gaucher disease,9 patients with Niemann-Pick type A/B,2 patients with metachromatic leukodystrophy,2 patients with Krabbe disease,and 1 patient with GM1 gangliosidosis. We made brief descriptions of disease characters of each different kind disease and compared our results with findings of other ethnic groups. Conclusions Sphinglipidoses was markedly under-diagnosed in China and general pediatricians should be alerted to sphinglipidoses.

Objective To assess the consistency of four standardized cystatin C particle-enhanced turbidimetric assay (PETIA) and one particle-enhanced nephelometric immunoassay (PENIA) measurement systems Methods Performance verification test was conducted according to CLSI EP 15-A2 and EP9-A2.

Objective To investigate the correlation between ipsilateral prominent posterior cerebral artery laterality (PCAL) and white matter hyperintensities (WMHs) in patients with severe internal carotid artery (ICA) stenosis. Methods From April 2016 to December 2017, patients with unilateral ICA stenosis≥70% (including occlusion) and contralateral ICA stenosis <50% or no stenosis admitted to the Department of Neurology, Liaoning Provincial People's Hospital were enrolled. According to the presence or absence of PCAL on the ipsilateral side of ICA stenosis, they were divided into positive group and negative group, and the severity of WMHs was compared between the 2 groups. The patients were grouped according to the severity of overall WMHs and deep WMHs (DWMHs) and periventricular WMHs (PWMHs) on the ipsilateral side of ICA stenosis. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to determine the independently relevant factors of WMHs. Results A total of 131 patients were enrolled, 65 of them (49.62% ) had ipsilateral PCAL positive. The proportion of severe DWMHs in this group was significantly lower than that in the ipsilateral PCAL negative group (38.46% vs. 59.09% ; χ2 =5.578, P=0.018 ). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that advanced age (odds ratio [ OR] 2.196, 95% confidence interval [ CI] 1.278-3.773; P=0.004), hypertension (OR 3.279, 95% CI 1.107-9.709; P=0.032), and high systolic blood pressure (OR 1.027, 95% CI 1.002-1.053; P=0.031) were independently associated with severe overall WMHs; advanced age (OR 1.957, 95% CI 1.141-3.358; P=0.015) and hypertension (OR 4.739, 95% CI 1.570-14.286; P=0.006) were independently correlated with ipsilateral severe DWMHs, ipsilateral PCAL (OR 0.340, 95% CI 0.135-0.856; P=0.022 ) was independently correlated with ipsilateral mild DWMHs; advanced age (OR 1.805, 95% CI 1.175-2.775; P=0.007) and high systolic blood pressure (OR 1.030, 95% CI 1.007-1.053; P=0.010) were independently correlated with ipsilateral severe PWMHs. Conclusion Ipsilateral PCAL is an independent protective factor for ipsilateral DWMHs in patients with severe ICA stenosis.
