ObjectiveTo observe the subcutaneous and intraperitoneal insulin injection's effect of the level of oxygen free radicals of type 2 diabetes model.MethodsC57BL/6J mice were chosen as normal control group (C group,n=9).KK mice were randomly divided into intraperitoneal injection of insulin group (i.p.group,n=9),the subcutaneous insulin group (s.c.group,n=9) and untreated group (U group,n =9).The i.p.group and the s.c.groups were given certain amount of insulin (insulin injecta and protamine insulin injecta by volume ratio of 2:1 mixture)for one month,maintained the GLU at normal levels (6±1.5) mmol/L.SOD,GSH-PX activity and MDA content of serum,liver,kidney and heart in each group were detected.Results The liver,kidney,heart and serum's SOD and GSH-PX activity significantly reduced and MDA content significantly increased in the U group.Both kinds of delivery methods could increase serum SOD and GSH-PX activity and reduce the content of MDA to the normal control group level,but the intraperitoneal injection had stronger effect.Two kinds of delivery methods could both reduce the MDA content of liver,and had almost the same effect; but the subcutaneous injection group had better effect on increasing the liver's SOD activity,and the intraperitoneal injection had better effect on increasing liver's GSH-PX activity.Intraperitoneal injection had better effect on reducing kidney' s MDA content and increased SOD activity.Two kinds of delivery methods had the same effect on reducing the heart's MDA content.Conclusion The two delivery methods can both make the MDA levels of KK mice in serum,heart,liver and kidney fall to as normal as that of control group,but the two delivery methods have different ways of improving the antioxidant capacity in different organs.Intraperitoneal injection can reduce MDA content in serum and kidney better.

Using the chromosomal DNA of an ice nucleation active bacterium Erwinia ananas 110 as template, an ice nucleation active (ina) gene was amplified by PCR with Taq plusI DNA polymerase. After sequencing and compared with reported ina genes, the cloned gene was identified as a new ina gene and was registered in GenBank at the accession number of AF387802. The new ina gene, named as iceA, has 3921 bp for its coding region, which encodes 1306 amino acids consisting of repetitive segment (R-domain, 1104aa), which is flanked by N-and C-terminal sequences, with 161 aa and 41aa, respectively.

In order to investigate the prevalence and track genetic and antigenic evolutions of infectious bronchitis virus (IBV) and their prevalence in Guangxi, China since 1985, gene amplification and sequencing and virus neutralization (VN) test on chicken embryo tracheal organ cultures were used in genotyping and serotyping of 28 IBV isolates during 2009-2011 in Guangxi. The results of N gene sequencing and comparison showed that the 28 isolates and reference strains were classified into three groups, and most isolates belonged to group Ill, while the isolates in 1985-2008 belonged to groups IV and II. The data of VN test indicated that the 28 isolates belonged to 6 serotypes; among them, 71. 4% belonged to serotypes 1, 2, and 3, and 11 (39.3%) shared the same serotype with the current vaccine strains. Given the data of our previous study, it is found that prevalent serotypes and their proportions varied in different areas of Guangxi and during different periods. These data lay a good foundation for developing an oil-emulsified inactivated polyvalent vaccine containing local dominant serotypes for the effective prevention and control of infectious bronchitis.

BACKGROUND: Exhaled nitric oxide (eNO) is one of the airway condensate derived markers, reflecting mainly airway inflammation in asthma and other lung diseases. The changes of eNO levels as pathophysiology of neonatal hypoxemic respiratory failure (HRF) in early postnatal life have not been thoroughly studied. The present study was to establish a method for measuring eNO concentrations in neonates with or without HRF. METHODS: Twenty-two newborn infants with HRF and 26 non-NRF controls were included within the first 24 hours of postnatal life. Their eNO levels were detected with a rapid-response chemiluminescence analyzer daily during the first week of their postnatal life, and lung mechanics and gas exchange efficiency were monitored at the same time, such as pulse oxygen saturation (SpO2), inspired fraction of oxygen (FiO2) and other parameters. RESULTS: During the first two days of postnatal life, eNO values of HRF neonates were significantly higher than those of the control neonates (day 1, 7.9±3.2 vs. 5.8±1.8 parts per billion [ppb], P<0.05; day 2, 8.8±3.2 vs. 6.0±2.4 ppb, P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in the following days. With SpO2/FiO2 increasing, difference of eNO values between the HRF and non-HRF neonates became narrowed, but there was still a two-fold difference of eNO/[SpO2/(FiO2×100)] on days 5-7. CONCLUSION: We established a method for measuring eNO and found difference in neonates with or without HRF, which diminished with prolonged postnatal days, reflecting pathophysiological characteristics of HRF.

Objective To investigate the utility of P504S(?-methylacyl-COA racemase), CK34?E12,p63 and PSA immunohistochemistry in the pathological diagnosis of prostatic adenocarcinoma (PAC).Methods The specimens of 46 cases of PAC,8 cases of prostatic high-grade intraepithelial neo- plasia (HGP1N) and 35 cases of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) tissues were immunohistochemically stained with P504S,CK3413E12,p63 and PSA antibody,respectively.Results Of the 46 PAC cases,42 (91.3%) cases showed positive for P504S,including 25 cases (54.3%) who showed strongly and diffusely positive (+++) for cytoplasmic staining.In 7 (87.5%) of the 8 HGPIN cases,the specimens were also positive for P504S,and only 1(2.9%)of the 35 BPH cases showed focally weakly positive (+) for P504S.All the 8 HGPIN cases (100%) and 33 (94.3%) of the 35 BPH cases showed positive for CK34?E12 and p63,while all the 46 PAC cases showed negative for CK34?E12 and p63.In 44 (95.7%) of the 46 PAC cases,the specimens were positive staining for PSA.Conclusions P504S has high sensitivity and good specificity in the diagnosis of PAC.P504S staining in combination with HE,CK34?E12,p63 and PSA staining can improve the accurate diagnosis of PAC.

OBJECTIVETo study the alveolar bone surrounding situation and the length of the root of the maxillary labial inverted impacted incisor in mixed dentition after orthodontic treatment.

METHODSFourteen cases with maxillary labial inverted impacted incisor in mixed dentition were collected. Modified Nance arch and conventional appliance were used. Cone-bean CT (CBCT) was taken after the treatment. Simplant13.0 three-dimensional reconstruction and multi-planer reconstruction (MPR) method were used to observe the labial and lingual alveolar bone crest morphology, besides, the labial and lingual length from the alveolar bone crest to cemento-enamel junction (CEJ) of the impacted incisor and the homonym tooth after treatment, along with their root length and their labial and lingual length ratio of the root surrounded by the alveolar bone to the total root length were measured. The idependent samples t-test were used to analyze the variable differences.

RESULTSThe labial and lingual alveolar bone of fourteen cases crest of the diseased tooth after treatment presented general symmetry U shape from qualitative observation through the three-dimensional reconstruction. The labial and the lingual length of the diseased incisor from alveolar bone crest to CEJ [(2.47 ± 1.35) and (1.47 ± 0.84) mm] was significant increased than those of the homonym incisor [(1.03 ± 0.35) and (0.90 ± 0.37) mm] (P < 0.05); the length of the diseased incisor's post-treatment root [(9.82 ± 2.82) mm] was no statistically significant decreased than that of the homonym incisor root [(10.28 ± 1.38) mm, P = 0.59]; the labial and the lingual length ratio of the impacted tooth's root surrounded by the alveolar bone to the total root length [(72.83 ± 17.16)% and (85.32 ± 5.98)%] was statistically significant decrease than those of homonym teeth[(89.66 ± 3.98)% and (90.84 ± 4.61)%] (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONSThe diseased tooth's root had gotten enough length after the treatment. The labial and lingual alveolar bone of the maxillary labial inverted impacted incisor in mixed dentition can't offer sufficient adaptive hyperplasia after treatment, of which labial alveolar bone is more apparent, prompting careful protection when they were used.
