Since rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) possess many fine biological characteristics, they have been used in the studies of tumour, gene mapping and evolution. All of these need us to know the high-resolution G-banding pattern of rabbit chromosomes. Primary lung fibroblasts of new born rabbits were cultivated in RPMI 1640 medium supplemented with 20% new born bovine serum. In order to get the synchronized cells, chemical(MTX, TdR) method and physical (Cold Shock) method were used. By using trypsin-Giemsa banding-technique, we obtained fine high-resolution G-banding karyotypes of rabbit. The bands of rabbit chromosomes were analyzed and described. An idiogram which contains 583 bands of high-resolution G-banding chromosomes of rabbit has been made. The feature of rabbit choromosome bands and the method uesd to get the high resolution banding chromosomes were briefly discussed.

Objective To explore the efficacy of transvaginal color Doppler sonography(TV-CDS)in the diagnosis and differential diagnosis of cornual pregnancy.Methods The characteristics of gray-scale and color Doppler ultrasonography of 30 patients with cornual pregnancy confirmed by surgery and pathology,were studied retrospectively.The position,size,figure,echogenicity and vascular pattern of the pregnancy tissue were evaluated,and the resistance index was calculated.Results The 30 patients were classified into two groups:group A with typical gestational sac and group B with abnormal mass in the area of corner.The overall diagnostic accuracy for these patients was 43.3%(13/3)and classified as 90%(9/10)accuracy for group A and 20%(4/20)for group B.Among the 17 patients who were misdiagnosed or diagnosed unclearly by TV-CDS,one patient in group A was misdiagnosed as a normal pregnancy,11 patients in group B were misdiagnosed as gestational trophoblastic disease and the rest 5 patients in group B were diagnosed unclearly.Conclusions TV-CDS is useful for differential diagnosis of cornual pregnancy.The cornual pregnancy with abnormal mass is usually misdiagnosed,and therefore clinical features and laboratory data should be fully evaluated for its diagnosis.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of Escherichia coli pneumonia, the positive rate of extend-spectrumβ-lactamase (ESBLs) produced by Escherichia coli and antimicrobial resistance of Escherichia coli. Methods Three hundred and thirty-six infants with Escherichia coli pneumonia were divided into community acquired infection group and hos-pital acquired infection group from Jun 2003 to Jun 2013. The clinical data of those patients were collected and analyzed. The ESBLs were examined, and drug susceptibility results were analyzed. Results Infants under 6 months had higher infective rate of Escherichia coli. The Escherichia coli pneumonia had similar clinical manifestations as Gram negative bacterial pneumonia. ESBLs were found in most strains (58.3%, 196/336), positive rate of ESBLs of hospital acquired infection group (84.00%) was higher than that of community acquired infection group (50.96%) (χ2=26.17, P<0.05). There was no difference of ESBLs posi-tive rate between the community acquired infection groups during Jun 2003-May 2008 and those during Jun 2008-Jun 2013 (χ2=0.30, P>0.05). The ESBLs positive rate of hospital acquired infection group was significantly increased from 76.74%(Jun 2003-May 2008) to 93.75% (Jun 2008-Jun 2013) (χ2=3.95, P<0.05). The most sensitive antibiotic was carbapenem. Conclusions Escherichia coli pneumonia mainly occurs in infants, usually with severe clinical situations and more persistent. The hospital acquired infection is the high risk factor of acquiring ESBLs. Antibiotics should be prescribed depending on community acquired infection or hospital acquired infection.

Objective To evaluate the effects of combined detection of sputum and serum procalcitonin (PCT) to identify the etiology of community acquired pneumonia(CAP) in infants.Methods Retrospective analysis from August 2010 to September 2012 enrolled 435 patients with definitely etiological diagnosis of CAP.The all cases were divided into three groups according to the etiological diagnosis:243 cases of bacterial infection group(including mixed bacterial infection),106 cases of viral infection group,and 86 cases of mycoplasma infection group.Sputum and serum PCT levels in all cases were detected,with simultaneous detection of blood leukocytes,C-reactive protein levels.Results Sputum PCT level of bacterial infection group [(8.44 ± 1.08) ng/ml] was significantly higher than viral infection group [(0.32 ±0.12) ng/ml] and mycoplasma infection group [(0.24 ± 0.17) ng/ml],which showed statistically significant difference (F =765.03,P ＜0.01).Serum PCT level of bacterial infection group [(6.69 ± 1.36) ng/ml] was also higher than viral infection group [(0.37 ± 0.22) ng/ml] and mycoplasma infection group [(0.42 ± 0.28) ng/ml],the difference of which was statistically significant (F =240.46,P ＜ 0.01).Meanwhile between the viral infection group and mycoplasma infection group,sputum PCT and serum PCT showed no significant difference (P ＞ 0.05).The levels of blood leukocytes and C-reactive protein among 3 groups showed no statistically significant difference(P ＞ 0.05).As the critical value of the PCT ＞ 0.5ng/ml,the positive rates of sputum and serum PCT were significant difference in bacterial infection group (86.83％ vs 73.66％,x2 =13.92,P ＜0.05).The sensitivity of diagnosing bacterial CAP by sputum and serum PCT levels were 86.83％ and 73.66％,the specificity were 86.98％ and 88.54％,respectively.The sensitivity and specificity of combined detection sputum and serum PCT were 72.02％ and 94.27％.Conclusion Combined detection of sputum and serum PCT has clinical value and efficiency in pathogen identification of CAP.

Objective To investigate the protective effect of lentivirus-mediated silencing information regulation protein 6(SIRT6)overexpression on radioactive lung injury in rats.Methods 72 male 150-200 g Wistar rats were randomly divided into three groups(n=24).The 6 MV-X-ray linear accelerator was used to irradiate the lungs.The rats in each group were injected with normal saline(TNF-α)were measured at 1, 2, 4, and 8 weeks after radiotherapy(Lent-SIRT6), and the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-IL-6 and IL-1β were measured by HE staining.The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in liver tissue were detected by HE staining.The levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in liver tissue were detected by HE staining.Results The alveolar wall and alveolar stroma were normal in the control group.The alveolar wall of the irradiated group was thickened and fibrosis, and a large number of hypertrophic fibrous tissues were found in the alveolar stroma.The alveolar wall of Lent-SIRT6 group was thickened And alveolar stromal fibrosis symptoms were lighter than the irradiation group.Compared with the control group, the levels of serum TNF-α and IL-6, neutrophil count and the levels of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-1β in the liver tissue were significantly higher than those in the control group (P<0.05).The lentiviruses overexpressing SIRT6 could alleviate the abnormalities caused by radiation (P<0.05).The difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion SIRT6 can effectively inhibit the inflammatory reaction, reduce the lung injury symptoms of radiation pneumonia, and have some protective and prevention effect on lung injury.

BACKGROUND:Bone marrow derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) will be homing to the lesions after balloon injury in the inflammatory reaction process.However,the molecular mechanism of transforming growth factor-β1 (TGF-β1) to promote BMSC into smooth muscle-like cell remains unclear.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the BMSC differentiation rate under different TGF-β1 levels after acute vascular injury.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:A randomized controlled animal experiment and in vitro induced cell observation were performed at the SPF Laboratory Animal Center and Laboratory of Tissue Engineering,Ninth People's Hospital of Shanghai Jiao Tong University Medical School between January 2008 and May 2009.MATERIALS:A total of 24 male SD rats were randomly divided into normal control and model groups with 12 animals in each group.In addition,6 4-weak-old male SD rats were used to prepare BMSCs.METHODS:Model of acute carotid artery injury was established in model group.Serum of normal control group and model group after 1,3,7 days of injury to detect TGF-β1 level after the vascular injury by ABC-ELISA.The BMSCs after one passage were cultured at a density of (1.0-3.0)×10~5 cells/100 mm in culture dish,and divided into two groups:in routine culture group,cells were cultured in high-glucose DMEM containing 20% fetal bovine serum;in TGF-β1 group,cells were induced by different concentrations of TGF-β1 (1,3,5 and 10 μg/L) based on routine culture for 1 week.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Serum TGF-β1 level after the vascular injury;,cell morphological changes by inverted phase contrast microscopy;smooth muscle α-actin expression.RESULTS:The normal serum TGF-β1 level in rat was low,but increased rapidly after 1 day of injury,reached its peak at 3 days,and declined gradually but did not return to the basic level till day 7.After 1 week of induction,BMSCs were confluent,forming peak valley appearance.Immunocytochemistry showed that compared with routine culture,the rate differentiation of smooth muscle-like cell was significantly increased in cells stimulated by TGF-β1,especially 5 and 10 μg/L TGF-β1 (P ＜ 0.01).Real-time quantitative PCR results were similar to immunocytochemistry.CONCLUSION:Serum TGF-β1 level increased after acute vascular injury and peaked at day 3.In vitro,a similar concentration of TGF-β1 could induce cultured BMSC to differentiate into smooth muscle-like cells.
