Objective To investigate the different expressions of adiponectin receptor 2(AdipoR2) mRNA in liver between diet-induced obese rats and controls.Methods The level of AdipoR2 mRNA expression was detected by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Insulin sensitivity was evaluated by insulin sensitivity index(ISI).Results Diet-induced obese rats showed higher expression of AdipoR2 mRNA compare to controls.The ISI of diet-induced obese rats was lower than that of controls.Conclusion High energy diet induceds AdipoR2 expression in liver.

By Silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and other materials for isolation and purification and by physicochemical methods and spectral analysis for structural identification, 32 compounds were isolated and identified from ethyl acetate portion of alcohol extract of the Osmanthus fragrans. Their structures were identified as boschniakinic acid (1), ursolaldehyde (2), augustic acid (3), arjunolic acid (4), 5-hydroxymethyl-2-furancarboxaldehyde (5), isoscutellarein (6), 6, 7-dihydroxycoumarin (7), 2α-hydroxy-oleanolic acid (8), quercetin-3-0-β-D-glu-copyranoside (9), D-allito (10), 5, 4'-dihydroxy-7- methoxyflavone-3-0-β-D-glucopyranoside (11), 5,7-dihydroxychromone (12), lupeol (13), naringenin (14), acetyloleanolic acid (15), chlorogenic acid (16), kaempferol-3-0-β- D-glucopyranoside (17), oleanolic acid (18), kaempferol-3-0-β-D-galactopyanoside (19), 3', 7-dihydroxy-4'-methoxyisoflavon (20), ergosta-4,6,8 (14), 22-tetraen-3-one (21), p-hydroxycinnamic acid (22), syringaresinol (23), 3,4-dihydroxyacetophenonel (24), β-sitosterol (25), ethyl p-hydroxyphenylacetate (26), benzoic acid (27), caffeic acid (28), coelonin (29), p-hydorxy-phenylacetic acid (30), p-hydroxyacetophenone (31), and methyl-p-hydroxphenylacetate (32). Except for compounds 2, 4, 5, 8-11, 13, 15, 18, 20, 25, and 27, the rest were isolated from the Osmanthus fragrans for the first time.

BACKGROUNDTo study the composition and significance of the inclusion bodies of human cytomegalovirus (HCMV).

METHODSMicrodissection of inclusion bodies, PCR and Southern blot were adopted to detect DNA, and immunohistochemistry method and catalyzed signal amplification (CSA) were used to detect the different antigens of HCMV.

RESULTSThe inclusion bodies of HCMV were separated from the tissue section of human salivary gland. The fragments amplified by PCR from these dissected inclusion bodies were confirmed to be the DNA of HCMV. With the immunohistochemical method CSA, the immediately early and early antigens of HCMV were detected with monoclonal antibodies DDG9/CCH2, while matrix protein AAC10 was negative in the inclusion bodies.

CONCLUSIONThe ingredient of inclusion bodies of HCMV included the DNA and the antigens expressed in specific stage of the virus.

OBJECTIVETo study the characteristic, treatment and prognosis of tibial plateau fracture Schatzker type IV.

METHODSAccording to the roentgenogram and CT scan in 51 patients, Schatzker type IV injury is divided into 3 types: split, total condylar, depression. In the treatment of split and total condylar injury, if there was no articular depression on CT scan, reduction is done through medial approach; if CT scan demonstrated articular depression, middle approach was used to reduce the depression and bone graft. In split injury, buttress plate was fix on posterior-medial side. In total condylar injury, buttress plate is fix on medial side. In depression injury, fracture was reduced through medial approach, bone graft and buttress plate was fix on medial side. Thirty-three patients were followed up in 41 months averagely. And the statistical analysis was done.

RESULTSThe average Lysholm score of 33 patients was 83.2. Eight patients were excellent, 9 were good, 14 were fair, 2 were poor. The range of motion from 30 degrees to 147 degrees (average 110 degrees ). The factors that caused bad results were: the fracture was not anatomical reduced; tibial plateau is more than 4 mm wider than femoral condylar or lateral subluxation exceed 8 mm; varus deformity of knee. They also caused the increase of osteoarthritis.

CONCLUSIONSIn order to get anatomical reduction and stable fixation, the approach and fix pattern should be chosen on the bases of classification and CT scan of Schatzker IV injury. The factors which influence the prognosis are: (1) tibial plateau is more than 4mm wider than femur condylar, or lateral subluxation more than 8 mm; (2) Varus deformity. Attention should be paid to avoid these during operation.

Myeloid differentiation factor MyD88 is a critical adaptor molecule that integrates and transduces intracellular signals in inducing the differentiation of dendritic cells (DCs).The domain regions within MyD88 was searched,it could potentially affect the function of dendritic cells and found that MyD88 aa155-171 motif not only regulate the activity of transcription factor NF-?B, but also control the production of cytokines and expression of costimulatory molecules. Indeed, aa155-171 motif deleted type MyD88 (MyD88155-171) transfected RAW264.7 cells exhibited the reduced NF-?B and AP-1 activity and interrupted the expression of CD86 and B7H1. Meanwhile, lower level expression of cytokines such as IL-12,IFN-? were also observed by means of cytokine array in MyD88-/-DC trasfected with MyD88155-171 as compared to the MyD88 transfected cells. Thus, aa155-171 motif inside MyD88 could affect the expression of costimulatory molecules, production of cytokines and transduction of Toll like receptor signal pathway, suggesting that this motif may play an important role in regulating responses of innate immune system.

Objective To explore a better method for treatment atrophic rhinitis.Methods 56 patients with atrophic rhinitis(96 lateral)were treated by nasal submucou pediculated bone-suberiosteal muscle flap extracted from anterior wall of sinus maxillaries.Results All patients were followed 2 to 10 years,total effective rate was 100 %, with 49 cases(87.5 %)showing prominent effect.Conclusion The grafted flap cannot be assimilated,felled off and necrosis,because the flap has rich blood supply.This methods has obvious short-term effective and stable long-term effective.No complications were found.
