Objective To exPlore the theraPeutic effect of cycloVirobuxine_D ( CVB_D) on heart failure by obserVing the influences of CVB_D on cardiac function,myocardial morPhology and structure in rats with heart failure. Methods The rat model of heart failure was established by ligating left anterior descending coronary artery,and then the rats were randomly diVided into 5 grouPs,Plus the sham grouP. EchocardiograPhy was used to assess cardiac function,including EF,LVSF,SV,HR,CO and so on. Myocardial tissue section was obtained. Change in the myocardial tissue was obserVed by HE staining. Myocardial ultra_structure was obserVed by using transmission electron microscoPe. Results As comPared with the model grouP,EF and LVSF were significantly increased in medium and high dose CVB_D grouPs (P<0. 05 or P<0. 01),SV was increased in low and medium dose CVB_D grouPs (P<0. 05),CO was increased in low,medium and high dose CVB_D grouPs (P<0. 05),LVIDs was decreased and LVPWs was increased in high dose CVB_D grouP (P<0. 05). Under light microscoPe,changes of myocardial structures were obserVed in different CVB_D dose grouPs: myocardial fiber gradually became tidy, striPes became clear, and contour became clear. The changes of myocardial ultra_structure were obserVed under transmission electron microscoPe: the myocardial fiber breakage was reduced and the number of mitochondria was increased,swelling degeneration was alleViated. Conclusion CVB_D significantly imProVed cardiac contraction and blood PumPing function of rats with heart failure, exerted mitigatiVe effect on damage of cardiac muscle fiber and mitochondria. It suggests that CVB_D may be effectiVe in the treatment of heart failure.

Aptamers are short single-stranded nucleic acid ligands that are capable of binding almost any targets with low nano- to picomolar affinities and exceptional specificities. They are selected out of a large combinatorial oligonucleotide library through an in vitro evolution process termed SELEX (systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment). The unique advantages of high-throughput screening technique and aptamers in precise recognition as well as easiness to synthesis and modification bring aptamers a bright prospect in analytical chemistry, biology and medicine research. The recent advances in the SELEX technique and aptamers are reviewed.

Objective To analyze the causes of complications by pediatric fiberoptic bronchoscopy and find out the nursing measures. Method The clinical data of 60 children undergoing fiberoptic bronchoscopy were reviewed to analyze the causes of complications and concluded the nursing measures. Result Twelve in the sixty children contracted complications, including 4 cases of cyanotic , 4 cases of throat injury and 2 cases of laryngeal spasm . Conclusion Such measures as psychological nursing before operation to the children and their families for their cooperation, intraoperative oxygen suction, quick clinical examination, avoidance of frequent negative pressure suction and close observation of complications are of great importance for preventing complications induced by fiberoptic bronchoscopy.

Objective Study the ideal drug to treat age depen de nt epileptic ncephalopathy (ADEE) in earlier period. Methods fi fty-four patients with ADEE were studyed.21 cases used with single topiramate(T PM) as initial treatment and 27 cases used with TPM and antiepileptic drug(AEDs ) .Results Seizure was fully controlled in 11 patients with TPM m onotherapy and in 4 patients with TPM as adjunction.The differences was signif icant(P

Objective To analyze the aetiological characteristics and bacterial susceptibility in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated with ventilator-associated pneumonia (VAP) after mechanical ventilation. Methods To review the clinical characteristics, aetiological flora and bacterial susceptibility in 28 patients complicated with VAP in the ICU in recent years. Results The incidence rate of VAP was 66.7％. 91 clinical bacteria and 10 mycete isolates were collected, 64 (80.3％) were Gram-negative bacteria (GNB) and 27(29.7％) Gram- positive bacteria (GPC). The dominant bacteria was Xanthomonas maltophilia in COPD complicated VAP. Conclusion The main kind of bacteria in COPD complicated VAP after mechanical ventilation was GNB, and all kinds of the bacteria showed high tolerance. More attention should be paid to the cultivate aetiological bacteria and bacterial susceptibility and select the most suitable antibiotics in the treatment of VAP.

BACKGROUND: Nano-hydroxyapatite/collagen (NHAC) has similar component, structure, and morphology to natural bone, characterizing by good biocompatibility, multiaperture, large aperture, high porosity, and high pore communication rate; therefore, NHAC is an ideal scaffold material for bone tissue engineering.OBJECTIVE: To explore the feasibility of rabbit bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) and NHAC in constructing tissue-engineered bone.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: In vitro observational experiment was performed at Cell Laboratory of Jiangsu University from March to September 2006.MATERIALS: A one-month-old healthy male New Zealand rabbit was provided by Experimental Animal Center of Jiangsu University. NHAC was provided by Material Department of Tsinghua University.METHODS: Rabbit MSCs were isolated and purified in vitro, and the 3rd-generation MSCs were seeded onto NHAC. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Morphology and growth curve of rabbit MSCs; ② adhesion grade at day 5 and 10 after culture under scanning electron microscopy; ③ the amount of MSCs that adhered with NHAC on the 5th and 10th days. RESULTS: Rabbit MSCs were grown adherently with great reproductive activity, and the auxodrome was in accordance with Logistic auxodrome. Scanning electron microscopy demonstrated that the amount of MSCs on the 10th day was significantly greater than the amount on the 5th day (P < 0.01).CONCLUSION: The adhesion degree of the compound of MSCs and NHAC is high.
