To investigate the expression of vaginal Th1 and Th2 cytokines in rats with experimental vaginal candidiasis under different immune conditions, ICR murine vaginal candidiasis model was established and immno-suppressed murine models of vaginal cadidiasis were established in estrogen-treated mice. Non-estrogen-treated mice were used as controls. The mRNA level of Th1 (IL-2)/Th2 (IL-4, IL-10, TGF-beta1) cytokines in murine vaginal tissues was determined by RT-PCR. The cykotine in local tissues was increased to different extent under normal immune condition. IL-2 mRNA was increased during early stage of infection, while IL-10 was increased transiently during late stage of infection. TGF-beta1 production was found to be increased persistently. At same time, the expression of IL-2 mRNA was suppressed in immno-suppressed group, and the level of IL-4, IL-10, and TGF-beta1 were higher than the normal immunity group to different degree during infection. The high level of IL-2 mRNA during early stage of infection was associated with clearance of mucosal Candidia albicans (C. albicans), and its expression suppressed leading to decreased clearance of mucosal C. albican in immuno-suppression. The over-expression of IL-4 and IL-10 could significantly enhance the susceptibility to C. albicans infection in mice.

Objective In children with neurogenic bladder and secondary vesicoureteral reflux , we ex-plore the differences of urodynamics between the children with and without detrusor overactivity (DO). The study is in order to provide theoretical support for clinical practice. Method From January 2013 to March 2016, 110 children with NB vesicoureteral reflux diagnosed by videourodynamics were recruited. There are 63 boys and 47 girls aged 4-12 years with mean of 7.5 years. According to presence of DO during the filling phase, the patients were divided into DO (n=32) and non-DO groups (n=78). The time of bladder ureter reflux perfusion and detru-sor pressure were recorded for calculation of bladder compliance when the reflux occurs in the two groups. Maximum cystometry capacity and maximum detrusor pressure were recorded for calculation of the bladder compliance at the end of filling in the two groups. According to the reflux flow level, patients were divided into mild reflux (Ⅰ-Ⅱdegrees), severe reflux (Ⅲ-Ⅴdegrees). The difference of reflux side of the two groups and reflux degree were an-alyzed. Result In DO group, bladder capacity and compliance were (107.5 ± 21.3) mL and (5.6 ± 1.8) mL/cmH2O, respectively, when bladder ureter reflux occurs. In non-DO group, the bladder ureter reflux bladder capac-ity and compliance were (124.7 ± 35.6) mL, (6.7 ± 2.3) mL/cmH2O. The two parameters were significantly differ-ent in both groups. In DO and non-DO groups, the detrusor pressure were (21.7 ± 8.3) cmH2O and (19.6 ± 9.2) cmH2O, respectively, which does not have any significant statistical difference. At the end of filling, bladder capac-ity and compliance in DO group were (198.7 ± 36.5) mL, (5.8 ± 1.9) mL/cmH2O. In non-DO group, bladder ca-pacity and compliance were (223.8 ± 40.2) mL and (6.5 ± 1.4)mL/cmH2O. In both group, there are difference. In DO group, there are 20 cases of unilateral reflux (63%) and 12 cases of bilateral reflux (37%). In non-DO group, there are 31 cases of unilateral reflux (40%) and 47 cases of bilateral reflux (60%). The reflux of the two groups are also serious. Conclusion Small bladder capacity and poor bladder compliance are the urodynamic characteris-tics of children with NB and secondary vesicoureteral reflux when DO occurs.

To compare the therapeutic effects of three different anti-fungal drugs (i.e., terbinafine, fluconazole and intraconazole) in the treatment of experimental vaginitis caused by Candida albicans (C. albicans) in mice, the fungal vaginitis model was established in female ICR mice by intravaginal inoculation of suspension of C. albicans after the animal had been pretreated with estradiol. Mice were divided at random into different groups and then respectively treated with terbinafine, fluconazole and intraconazole given by gastrogavage. The burden of the fungus in the vaginal lavage fluids in the mice of the different groups was measured dynamically at different time points after the beginning of the drug treatment. The fungal burdens in the vaginal lavage fluids taken at different time points from the mice treated with terbinafine were significantly higher than those taken at corresponding time points from mice treated with fluconazole or itraconazole (P<0.01). The fungal burdens in the vaginal lavage fluids taken from mice 1 week after the beginning of the treatment with terbinafine remained at a relatively high level. A dramatic drop in the fungal burden was noted in the vaginal lavage fluids taken on the 2nd day of the treatment from mice treated with itraconazole or fluconazole group and the fungal burden on the 3rd day of the treatment in these mice were at a very low level, suggesting that fluconazole or itraconazole were highly effective for the treatment. However, the difference in the therapeutic effect between the two drugs was not significant (P>0.05). Itraconazole or fluconazole, but not terbinafine, is very effective for the treatment of fungal vaginitis caused by C. albicans in mice.

Corneal opacity is one of the most commonly used parameters for estimating postmortem interval (PMI). This paper proposes a new method to study the relationship between changes of corneal opacity and PMI by processing and analyzing cornea images. Corneal regions were extracted from images of rabbits' eyes and described by color-based and texture-based features, which could represent the changes of cornea at different PMI. A KNN classifier was used to reveal the association of image features and PMI. The result of the classification showed that the new method was reliable and effective.

To study the relationship between the late postmortem interval (PMI) and trimethylamine-nitrogen (TMA-N) in postmortem tissues of cadaver, TMA-N in muscles, livers and kidneys of rats was measured at different postmortem intervals (PMI) by using a modified spectrophotometric method. The results indicated that the detection sensitivity of TMA-N was 1 mg/L, and there was a good linear correlation between the value of absorbance (A value) and TMA-N at the concentration of 1-10 mg/L (R (2) = 0.9991). Although TMA variation in muscles was different from that in inner organs during the time since death, TMA-N changes in cadaver tissues was positively correlated with PMI. During 2 to 7 d since death, the best correlation between PMI and TMA-N concentration was found in muscles. With PMI as an independent variable, the cubic polynomial regression equation was y= -0.457x(3)+6.519x(2)-24.574x+27.207 (R (2)=0.969). During 3 to 8 days since death, PMI was best correlated with TMA-N concentration in inner organs. With PMI as the independent variable, the cubic polynomial regression equation was y=0.509x(3)-9.153x(2)+55.727x-95.819 (R (2)=0.953). It was concluded that TMA-N in tissues could be used as a new estimator for late PMI. The method used in this study offered advantages such as accuracy, sensitivity, little samples required and wide PMI estimation.

Objective To observe the change of profilin-1 during the aging of rats' aorta and the anti-aging effect of grape procyanidins (GPC).Methods Young male Wistar rats (9 weeks) and middle rats (12 months) were randomly divided into GPC treatment and control groups respectively.We quantified arterial aging changes through morphological methods.Thoracic aortas were stained with hematoxylin eosin.Serum levels of 3-nitrotyrosine (3-NT),malondialdehyde (MDA),superoxide dismutase (SOD) and nitric oxide (NO) were tested using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Western blotting was performed to measure the protein expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) and profilin-1.Results Compared with the young male Wistar rats group,aging change in the aortic morphology of middle rat group were shown by hematoxylin-eosin staining (HE) staining:media thickness (MT) increased [(98.3±0.5)μm vs.(83.1±1.0)μm,P＜0.05],luminal internal diameter (LD) decreased [(15.5 ±0.2) μm vs.(18.2±0.5,P＜0.05)μm,P＜ 0.05],(MT/LD)％ increased [(6.4±0.1) ％ vs.(4.6±0.1)％,P＜0.05],the protein expressions of profilin-1 and iNOS both increased [profilin-1:(1.58 ± 0.09) vs.(1.29 ± 0.04),iNOS:(1.02±0.12) vs.(0.75±0.02),both P＜0.05],levels of NO and SOD in serum decreased [NO:(6.3±0.2)μmol/L vs.(8.4±0.2) μmol/L,SOD:(172.3±1.6) U/ml vs.(189.1±1.5) U/ml,both P＜0.05],the levels of MDA and 3-NT increased[MDA:(11.3±0.3) μmol/L vs.(9.4 ±0.1) μmol/L,3 NT:(40.2±0.3) nmol/L vs.(35.6±0.5) nmol/L,both P＜0.05)].After treatment with GPC,compared with the control group,MT decreased,LD increased and MT/LD (％)decreased in the middle GPC treatment group.The protein expressions of profilin-1 had no changes before and after treatment with GPC both in young and middle groups.After the GPC treatment in middle group,compared with the middle control group,iNOS expression decreased,serum levels of NO and SOD increased,and the levels of MDA and 3-NT decreased significantly (all P ＜0.05).Conclusions Profilin-1 is related with age-related changes in rat aorta.Profilin-1 participates in vascular aging through iNOS induced oxidative stress.GPC may defer vascular aging by inhibiting vascular oxidative stress.

BACKGROUND: Skin defect is commonly repaired by autologous skin graft, but in which, it is required healthy skin provider and it probably results in scarring deformity to various extents. The successful construction and clinical application of tissue-engineered skin (TE skin) mark the major breakthrough in treatment of skin defect.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the relationship between operation method and healing rate, through repair of skin defect with TE skin, to provide experimental evidence on clinical application of TE skin.DESIGN: Randomized controlled observation was designed.SETTING: Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery, Teaching-Research Room of Histology and Pathology and Experimental Center of Tissue Engineering, School of Stomatology, Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLAMATERIALS: The experiment was performed in Experimental Center of Tissue Engineering, School of Stomatology, Fourth Military Medical University, in which 6 healthy York pigs were employed, of clean grade,aged varied from 2.5 to 3 months. 3 groups were randomized, named TE whole-layer group, TE dermal and auto-epidermal group and auto-graft group, 2 pigs in each group. 8 wounds were prepared in each pig, round in shape and 50 mm in diameter, 16 wounds in each group, totally 48wounds.METHODS: ①Preparation of TE whole layer and TE true skin. ② In TE whole-layer group: The whole layer of skin was cut off from fat layeralong the drawn line. When bleeding stopped thoroughly and the wound was covered with wet physiological saline gauze, TE whole-layer skin was collected and windowing was done on the skin for drainage. Physiological saline was used to rinsed away the culture solution on the surface of TE skin, and then, the cuticular layer was upward-covered the wound, avoiding gas vacuole between cuticular layer and wound. Single-layer oleic gauze, physiological saline gauze, aseptic dry gauze and elastic sponge cushion were covered successively, about 3-5 mm in thickness each layer. After routine dressing, elastic bandage was wrapped with compression terminally. ③ TE dermal and auto-epidermal group: The whole- layer skin was cut off with same method. Thin split-thickness skin (TIS) 0.1-0.2 mm was collected with drum dermanuring machine and soaked in physiological saline. The same method was used to collect the managed TE true skin and cover it on the wound, covering immediately on autoTTS. The rest management was same as TE whole-layer group. ④ Autograft group: The whole-layer skin was cut off and the fat tissue was removed, afterwards, it was re-grafted on the auto-wound, covered with various layers of dressing and bandaged with compression. ⑤ The survival case was determined if it was discovered no infection, necrosis and scaling of grafted skin, less than 3 mm in diameter when the wound was opened for changing fresh dressing each time, otherwise, the failed case was recorded. The survival rate in each group was analyzed statistically in 4 weeks after operation.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Survival situation of grafted skin in 4weeks after operation in each group.RESULTS: In 4 weeks after operation, the survival rate of grafted skin was 75% in TE whole-layer group was 87% in TE dermal and auto-epidermal group and was 94% in auto-graft group. The results were similar basically in comparison among 3 groups (x2=-2.34, P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: The effect of TE skin graft on repair of skin defect is near to that of auto-epidermal graft, testifying that the repair of skin defect with TE skin is feasible.

Objective To study the proteins related to aging in aortic of old rats for laying the foundation of further study of aging mechanism.Methods The rat model of aging was built,and all model rats were divided into 4 groups:the adult group(9 weeks),the old group(12 months)of WistarKyoto (WKY) rats,and the age-matched spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR).Blood pressure of 4 groups was observed.Morphological change of aorta was observed by HE staining.Differential proteins were identified by isobaric tags for relative and absolute quantitation,(iTRAQ)-coupled liquid chromatography and tandem mass spectrometry technology.Part of differential proteins was subsequently detected by real time PCR and Western blot.Results The mean SBP of the old group SHR was higher than WKY of 97.1％ (t=39.00,P＜0.05),and the adult group of SHR was also higher than WKY of 5.4％(t=3.64,P＜0.05).Compared with the adult group,aging change in the aortic morphology of old SHR and WKY were shown in HE staining,and the change in SHR rats was more marked.7 proteins related to aging were identified by Mass spectrum analysis,and they were Profilin-1,Prelamin A,HSP70,creatine kinase-M,Fibulin-5,eIF5A and Prohibitin.Part of differential proteins was subsequently confirmed by real time PCR and Western blot.Prelamin-A was up-regulated in the old group of WKY and SHR (0.15±0.01 vs.0.45±0.04,0.34±0.02 vs.0.78±0.06) (t=12.67,12.06,all P＜0.01),Prohibitin was down-regulated in the old group of WKY and SHR(1.34±0.05 vs.1.01± 0.06,1.24±0.05 vs.0.88±0.08) (t=7.41,7.09,all P＜0.01).Profilin-1 was up-regulated in the old group of WKY and SHR (9.12±0.4 vs.20.76±0.8,16.84±0.5 vs.55.16±0.9) (t=22.55,64.46,both P＜0.01),and Profilin-1 expression in the old group of SHR was higher thanWKY (55.16±0.90 vs.20.76±0.8,t=49.49,P＜0.01).Conclusions Differential proteins of the old rat aorta are identified through the comparative proteomics method.These differential proteins will provide new targets for the prevention and control of vascular aging.
