Objective To discuss the differences of immunofluorescence pathological test results in four types of syndromes for lupus nephritis(LN) patients. Methods A retrospective study was carried out in 116 LN patients who had performed renal biopsy. The patients were differentiated into four syndrome patterns of excessive heat-toxicity, liver-kidney yin deficiency, qi-yin deficiency, and spleen-kidney deficiency. The results of immunofluorescence pathological tests were recorded for the analysis of the differences among the four patterns. Results (1)Of 116 LN patients, 59 were classified into spleen-kidney deficiency, 30 into excessive heat-toxicity, 14 into liver-kidney yin deficiency, and 13 into qi-yin deficiency. (2)The positive expression rate of IgA, IgG, IgM, C3, and Fi fluorescen ce antibody differed in the 4 syndrome patterns of LN patients(P<0.05), IgA and C3 had higher positive expression rate, while Fi had the lowest expression rate. (3)The percentage of“full-house” immunofluorescence staining(5 kinds of antibodies simultaneously showing positive immunofluorescence staining) differed in the 4 syndrome patterns of LN patients(P<0.05), and excessive heat-toxicity syndrome had the highest percentage. (4)The differences of positive rate of immunofluorescence staining were insignificant in the 4 syndrome patterns of LN patients(P>0.05). Conclusion The immune complex deposition in LN patients is dominated by IgA and C3 antibodies deposition, and the“full-house” immunofluorescence staining is commonly seen in the syndrome of excessive heat-toxin type. But the results of immunofluorescence pathological tests can not be used as the evidence to tell the differences in the 4 syndrome patterns of LN patients.

Objective: To investigate the capability of Streptococcus sanguis(S.s) producing hydrogen peroxide (HP) and screen the strains of S.s with high yield of hydrogen peroxide.Methods: S.s were isolated from supergingival plaque of people with healthy periodontium. The microorganisms were cultivated anaerobically or aerobically, then washed and incubated with KCl buffer. Hydrogen peroxide and bacterial proteins were assayed spectrophotometrically. S.oralis ATCC 10557 was used as the controls. Results: In anaerobical culture the HP production (nmol/?g) of S.s and S.oralis was 118.22?69.92 and 338.60?192.14( P

Objective To determine the feasibility of ex vivo liposome-mediated gene transfer ( Lac-Z gene ) to lung isografts and to get expression. Methods An orthotopic rat left lung transplant model was developed with the use of a modification of the “cuff” technique. 18 SD rats were divided into three groups randomly. Gene transfer group ( group 1 ): PSV-?-gal/ liposome ( Lipofectin R○ ) complex was transfered into the donor left lung via the left pulmonary vein route at the time of lung harvesting. Liposome group ( group 2 ) and Control group ( group 3 ) : Grafts underwent the same procedure but received liposome and 0 9% saline solution respectively. Donor lungs were harvested one day after transplantation. The transgene expression of Lac-Z gene was detected by histochemical staining. Results Transgene expression of ?-gal in group 1 was detected in bronchial epithelial cells and alveolar epithelial cells. But no expression of ?-gal was found in groups 2 and 3. Conclusion Ex vivo plasmid vector/liposome complex-mediated gene transfer to lung isografts via the left pulmonary vein route is feasible. This study provides the scientific proof to the feasibility of functional gene therapy of complications such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, rejection and infection after rat lung transplantation.

Objective:Describe the prevalence of depressive disorder and the care-seeking of depressed individuals among inpatients in general hospitals in Beijing.Methods:2 925 inpatients ≥15 years of age from 40 general hospitals (selected by stratified random sampling) were first screened by psychiatric nurses and then psychiatrists used DSM-IV criteria to generate a 'gold standard' diagnosis in subjects screened positive and 10% of those screened negative. Results:Adjusted point prevalence, one-year prevalence, and lifetime prevalence of any type of depressive disorder were 7.04%, 7.47% and 9.96%, respectively; corresponding prevalences of Major Depressive Disorder were 3.83%, 4.33%, and 6.11%, respectively. Of the 123 depressed patients only 12 (9.8%) had ever received treatment. The prevalence was significantly higher in females than in males(5.18%vs 3.59%,RR=1.44 95%CI:1.01~2.05), in patients from Level-2 hospitals than in those from Level-3 hospitals(6.28%vs 3.31%,RR=1.90 95%CI:1.31~2.75), and in patients on internal medicine wards than in those from surgery (6.08%vs3.60%,RR=1.69 95%CI:1.15~2.49)or other wards(6.08%vs 3.01%,RR=2.02 95%CI:1.21~3.37).Conclusions:The prevalence of depressive disorder among inpatients in Beijing's general hospitals is high but very few are diagnosed or treated. Different programs to increase the recognition and treatment of depression in general hospitals need to be developed and regularly monitored.

Objective To study the developmental patterns and aging characteristics of anterior sacral foramina and posterior sacral forami-na in adolescents aging from 12 to 18 years old through CT imaging scanning and three-dimensional reconstruction measurement,and to provide the anatomical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of sacral vertebra diseases.Methods The 30 adolescents without any the problems of nerv-ous system were selected to conduct 64-slice spiral CT in the pelvic cavity.The original data were input into three-dimensional reconstruction software Mimics with the form of DICOM,and the relevant indicators were measured and analyzed.Results There was no significant difference in the height,width and distance of inner edge of anterior sacral foramina and the posterior sacral foramina in different gender and sides (P >0.05).The physical development of human increases gradually with age and there were significant differences.Conclusion There is a regular change process in the relevant indicators of anterior sacral foramina and posterior sacral foramina in adolescents.But the clinical appli-cation must be combined with the results of individual imaging,the technology of reverse engineering and the support of rapid prototype manu-facturing so as to meet the satisfactory results of individualized treatment.

Objective To study the protein levels of fibronectin (Fn) in the sinoatrial node tissues of hearts caused by electric shock death ,and to provide a new theoretical basis for the diagnosis of electric shock death and the identification of death time.MethodsUsing immunohistochemical technique(S-P method) to detect protein levels of 15 cases of human sinoatrial node following electrocution(human experimental group),15 cases of human sinoatrial node with severe traumatic cerebral injury(human control group),35 cases of rabbit sinoatrial node following electrocution(rabbit experimental group ,divided into7 groups according to different sampling time: 0 h ,1 h ,3 h ,6 h ,12 h,24 h.48 h),and 35 cases of rabbit sinoatrial node with broken neck executed(rabbit control group ,divided int0 7 groups according to different sampling time :0 h,1 h.3 h,6 h.12 h.24 h,48 h).ResultsFn positive expression rate in human experimental group was 100% while it was 6.67% in the human control group,and the differences were statistically significant (P < 0.01 ).The Fn expression can be seen after electric shock immediately in the rabbit experimental group,and there was statistical difference compared with the rabbit control group (P < 0.05).Distribution of Fn expression became more and more widely after 3 hours t0 12 hours in the rabbit experimental group ,and there was significant difference compared with the rabbit control group(P < 0.01).The Fn expression began to decrease 24 hours after electrocution,ancl it still had statistical significance 48 hours after electrocution compared with the rabbit control group (P < 0.05).Conclusion Electric shocks significantly enhanced the expression of Fn protein levels in the sinoatrial node tissues , and optical density of Fn positive expression has a regularity change along with the extended time of death.These results could provide a theoretical reference basis for forensic diagnosis of electrocution and identification of death time.
