To study the effect of urokinase on platelet activation and aggregation in the patients with glomerulonephritis. Platelet counts(PC),mean platelet volume (MPV), and platelet distribution width (PDW) were determined with automatic blood cell analytic apparatus, the expressive levels of platelet granular membrane protein (GMP 140) and fibrinogen receptor(GPⅡb Ⅲa) on the surfaces of platelets were assayed with flow cytometry, and the levels of fibinogen and fibrin degradation products (FDP) in blood were measured with ELISA in 102 children with glomerulonephritis. The results showed that urokinase led to PC decreas,MPV increase and PDW exceeding normal value in 102 children with glomerulonephritis, including micro change (MC),glomerulosclerosis (GS),membranous nephropathy (MN), and proliferative glomerulonephritis (PGN).The expressive levels of GMP 140 after the treatment with urokinase were significantly higher than that before the treatment and controls( P 0 01). The results suggested that urokinase used in the patients with glomerulonephritis increased platelet activation function and decreased platelet aggregation function.

Proteins of the phosphatidylethanolamine binding protein(PEBP) family are highly conserved throughout nature and have multiple biological functions.These small,cytosolic proteins have a typical large central sheet and a putative ligand-binding site which shares an affinity for a variety of ligands such as phospholipids,opioids,nucleotides,hydrophobic odorant molecules.PEBP plays a pivotal modulatory role in Raf-1/MEK/ERK、I?B/NF-?B、GPCR signaling cascades.As the precursor of the hippocampal cholinergic neurostimulating peptide(HCNP),PEBP may play an important role in the septal cholinergic development of the hippocampal.In addition,PEBP has the potential to contribute to neural protection,biogenesis and refinement of the membrane,Alzheimers disease(AD),opioid dependence,diabetic nephropathy,cancer and other physiological or pathophysiological processes.

Objective To determine the test-retest reliability of functional squat system (FSS) isometric muscle strength tests for patients with knee osteoarthritis. Methods The isometric muscle strength of thirty patientswith knee osteoarthritis (21 males and 9 females; age 45 to 89 years, mean age 68.73 ± 12.19 years) was tested twice within 1 week by the same tester. Three test results were obtained: maximum isometric extension strength, the time to initiate isometric extension and the average isometric extension strength. Intra-class correlation coefficients (ICCs) for the three tests were computed to evaluate their retest reliability. Results The ICCs of the maximum isometric extension strength and average isometric extension strength of the uninvolved and involved extremities were respectively 0.87, 0.88, 0.92 and 0.89. The ICCs of the initiation time for the uninvolved and involved legs were respectively 0.25 and 0.41. Conclusion In these tests of patients with knee osteoarthritis using the functional squat system, both the maximum isometric extension strength and the average isometric extension strength had very good test-retest reliability. These two test results could be used as reliable guidance for treatment and rehabilitation of osteoarthritic knees.

BACKGROUND:Neural stem cel transplantation has been used to treat a series of brain injury diseases, such as cerebral palsy, but its effect on Alzheimer’s disease is rarely reported. OBJECTIVE:To observe the effect of neural stem cel transplantation on the behavior and immune regulating system of Alzheimer’s disease rats. METHODS:Thirty-five Sprague-Dawley rats were enrol ed to make a postcerebral incision and given hippocampal injection of amanita phal oides acid to establish rat models of Alzheimer’s disease. Another 10 rats were only given hippocampal injection of normal saline after preparation of postcerebral skin incision as sham operation group. Then 32 successful rat models were randomly divided into two groups (n=16 per group):rats in experimental group were administrated hippocamal injection of 5×109/L al ogeneic neural stem cel suspension;those in model group were given no injection. Five-day Morris water maze test was conducted at 4 weeks after transplantation. At 1 week after Morris water maze test, levels of interleukin-1 and interleukin-10 in the cerebral homogenate were detected, as wel as pathological changes of brain tissues were observed in the three groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the model group, the abilities of cognition and memory were significantly higher in the sham operation group (P<0.01), and the abilities of spatial learning and memory were significantly higher in the experimental group (P<0.05, P<0.01). Levels of interleukin-1 and interleukin-10 in the model group were significantly higher than those in the sham operation group (P<0.01) but significantly lower than those in the experimental group ( P<0.01). Besides, the number of neurons in the model group was obviously less than that in the experimental and sham operation group. These results indicate that neural stem cell transplantation supplements and protects neurons against Alzheimer's disease in rats, thereby significantly improving the learning and memory ability.

Objective To identify the effects of androgen on mouse model of autoimmune ovary failure.MethodsFifty mice were randomly divided into five groups as control group,early therapeutic group and its model group,late therapeutic group and its model group.Autoimmune POF was induced in forty mice by Pzp3.Then,the animals were randomly divided into four groups: two were treated with androgen from the 15th and 20th day after immune.The control group was treated with distilled water.The therapeutic efficacy of each treatment was evaluated by the changes in sexual cycles of mice,the serum level of AzpAb,infiltration of cells positively expressing CD45 in the ovary as well as the percentage of growing follicles of the ovary.Results The sexual cycles,serum level of AzpAb,infiltration of CD45 cells in the ovary of each model group were more significant than those in control group;early therapeutic group was less than model group;and serum level of AzpAb in early therapeutic group was lower than that of late therapeutic group.The percentage of growing follicles in the ovary of each model group was lower than that of control group;early therapeutic group was higher than model group and late therapeutic group.Conclusion The use of androgen in mice with autoimmune POF may notably ameliorate the pathogenetic conditions of the disorder,and the treatment during prophase was apparently more effective than that during the advanced stage.

OBJECTIVE To prevent nosocomial infection and increase the safety of blood supply so as to evaluate the feasibility of routine detections in screening blood donations for HBV DNA and HBV markers. METHODS(Three hundred blood) donors and 346 cases were detected by ELISA for HBV markers,and then performed by LightCycler for HBV DNA. RESULTS One(1.6%) of 62 negative samples of HBV markers in 346 cases was positive for HBV DNA.Out of 300 qualified donors in screening tests,six(2%) were positive for HBV DNA.And two(0.9%) of 222 negative samples of HBV markers were positive for HBV DNA. CONCLUSIONS This study shows that there are HBV infections with negative hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg) in population of Qingdao area and that incorporating fluorescence quantitative PCR into ELISA in screening blood donations for HBV infection will further increase the safety of blood supply and prevent nosocomial infections.

Objective To explore the therapeutic mechanism of kidney-tonifying and blood-activating herbal medicine for anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding(ADUB).Methods Thirty-seven ADUB patients were randomized into two groups.Group A(N=25)was treated with Gongxue Yin(mainly composed of Fructus Psoraleae,Radix Dipsaci,Fructus Corni,Pollen Typhae,Radix Notoginseng,Radix Codonopsis,Os Draconis,Concha Ostreae,Herba Hedyotis Diffusae),and group B(N=17)received medroxyprogesterone.One menstrual cycle constituted one treatment course and the treatment lasted 3 continuous courses.Histostain-plus(HP)immunohistochemical assay was adopted to test the Bcl-2 and Bax protein expression in endometrium of the two groups.Ten healthy volunteers served as the control.Results Bcl-2 protein expression was higher in endometrium of ADUB patients at proliferative stage or with proliferative changes than that at secretory phase of the normal control group(P0.05).Conclusion Both progesterone and kidney-tonifying and blood-activating herbal medicine decrease endometrial Bcl-2 protein expression and increase Bax expression,by which inducing the endometrial cell apoptosis in patients with anovulatory dysfunctional uterine bleeding.But their detailed mechanism may be different.
