Objective To investigate the expression of C/EBP homology protein (CHOP) in peripheral brain tissue of patients with severe traumatic brain injury (TBI) and its correlation with the injury severity.Methods The study included peripheral brain tissues of 41 TBI patients (TBI group).Another 16 autopsy specimens succumbed to other diseases (except for TBI or other central nervous system diseases) were selected as controls.The control group and TBI group were subdivided into immaturity group (≤18 years),adult group (18-59 years) and elderly group (＞59 years).According to Glasgow Coma Scale (GCS) on admission,TBI group was classified as severe TBI group (GCS of 6-8) and particularly-severe TBI group (GCS of 3-5).CHOP expression in peripheral tissues after TBI was compared in between different age,gender and GCS.Nerve cell apoptosis was detected by TUNEL technique and correlation between CHOP level and apoptotic number was analyzed.Results There were no age and gender differences regarding CHOP expression in control group (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with control group,expression of CHOP presented notable up-regulation in TBI group (P ＜ 0.05).Expression of CHOP presented no gender difference in TBI group (P ＞ 0.05),but its expression was lower in the aged than in adult or immaturity (P ＜ 0.05) as well as notably higher in particularly-severe TBI group than in severe TBI group (P ＜ 0.05).Nerve cell apoptosis in TBI group was far greater in number than that in control group (P ＜0.05).A positive correlation was observed between CHOP level and apoptotic index (r =0.72,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Expression level of CHOP after TBI is closely related to the injury severity and nerve cell apoptosis,but the apoptosis pathway induced by CHOP may not be a major factor in secondary brain injury after TBI in the aged patients.

Objective To explore effect of CYP3A4 gene polymorphism and genetic testing on the efficacy of fentanyl in patients with extensive burns.Methods A prospective randomized controlled study, 149 patients with extensive burns were picked from Feburary to July in 2015.Patients were randomly divided into matched group ( n=56 ) and experimental group ( n=93 ) . The matched group was treated with fentanyl 5 g/kg to finish implementation of anesthesia induction.Depends on the gene detection results, the patients in experimental group were treated with 6 g/kg, 5 g/kg or 4 g/kg fentanyl.The VAS score at different time after operation in the experimental group and the control group were compared , and the dosage of fentanyl was observed.Patients whose VAS score was greater than 7 should treated with intramuscular injection of pethidine 100 mg, recorded all patients with pethidine,s additional cases and the times.At the same time, the adverse reactions of the two groups were recorded before and after hospital discharge. ResuIts The score of VAS was not significantly different after wake up immediatly after the surgery , and the score of VAS was significantly lower in the experimental group patients in 6h,12h after the surgery (P<0.05).The dosage of fentanyl in the experimental group and the number of the cases and the times were significantly decreased (P<0.05).The adverse reactions after the surgery such as nausea, vomiting, itching, drowsiness, and adverse reactions were significantly lower in the experimental group (P<0.05).ConcIusion CYP3A4 gene detection in patients with large area of burn in the individual drug use is important, because of patients’ genotype adjusting fentanyl dosagecan, it enhances significantly the analgesic effect, reduces the amount of drug use, and effectively reduces the adverse reactions.

BACKGROUND: The deficiency of perfect animal femoral head necrosis model limited its further investigation. OBJECTIVE: To verify the feasibility of establishing rabbit femoral head necrosis models using liquid nitrogen rsfdgeration method, and to provide a foundation for subsequent research. METHODS: A total of 20 adult, New Zealand, white rabbits were selected in the study. The round ligament of femur was not cut off and femoral head was not dislocated, and the exposed femoral head were quick frozen using cotton bud carrying liquid nitrogen for successive 25 times, with 10 s per time. The specimens were examined by gross anatomy, X-ray film, MRI and histological observation at day 3, 7 and weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8 after operation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The histolOgical section showed that chondrocyte, osteccyts, and myelold tissues presented necrosis in freezing and periphery at 3days after model preparation, and the repair process appeared at 2weeks after operation. The articular surface of femoral heads appeared collapse at 4 weeks after operation, and these changes became obvious at 6 weeks. The femoral head presented ostecarthdtis-like disorder, with seriously collapsed articular surface at8 weeks, and the contour of femoral head changed in 2 animals. The results demonstrated that without hip dislocation, rabbit femoral head necrosis models can be established successfully using liquid nitrogen refrigeration method. This method is simple, feesible, with high succeed rate, which can be used in subsequent research.

Objective To investigate the effect and underlying mechanism of apolipoprotein E (APOE) genetic polymorphism in treating blood brain barrier (BBB) breakdown after traumatic brain injury (TBI).Methods Human APOE knock-in mice (ε3,ε4),APOE knockout mice,and APOE wild-type mice with each numbering 80 were respectively divided into TBI group (n =50),sham-operation group (n =15) and normal control group (n =15) according to the random number table.TBI group was subdivided at 1 day (n=15),3 days (n=15),and7 days (n=20).TBI was induced with a pneumatically operated injury device.BBB permeability to large or small molecules was evaluated by measuring Evans blue (EB) and fluorescein sodium (NaFI) extravasation into the damage area at 1,3,and 7 days postinjury.Brain water content was determined using the dry-wet method.Western blotting and qRT-PCR for tight junction-associated proteins Occludin and Claudin-5 were performed at 7 days postinjury.Results With respect to normal control group,BBB permeability to EB and NaFI was significantly higher in ε4 and APOE knockout mice than in ε3 and APOE wild-type mice.There appeared significant increase in BBB permeability to EB and NaFI in TBI group,with insignificant differences among rats of each genotype at 1 and 3 days postinjury (P ＞ 0.05).Whereas at 7 days postinjury,BBB permeability to EB in APOE wild-type and e3 mice returned to the normal level (P ＞ 0.05),but it re mained at a high level in APOE knockout and ε4 mice (P ＜ 0.01).Meanwhile,BBB permeability toNaFI was significantly higher in ε4 and APOE knockout mice than in ε3 and APOE wild-type mice (P ＜ 0.01).Brain water content was equivalent among rats of each genotype at 1,3 and 7 days postinjury (P ＞0.05).Western blotting and qRT-PCR demonstrated Occludin and Claudin-5 in ε4 and APOE knockout mice were significantly lower than those in ε3 and APOE wide-type mice (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion APOE plays an important role in restoration of BBB function after TBI,but ε4 may impede the recovery of BBB breakdown after TBI through its effect on tight junction.

Filamentous fungi have been extensively used in industrial fermentation processes. One of the most interesting topics of filamentous fungi is their bothersome morphology, which closely correlates with the productivity and broth rheology. Aiming at the optimization of the microbial process, works mainly focused on the relationships between morphology, productivity and environment in the last decades. Based on those works, we tried to interpret the mechanism of filamentous fungi growth from physiological aspects, and reviewed the mathematical models describing the hyphal growth, differentiation during the formation of target products. Above all, efficient and effective morphology controlling strategies were addressed from the engineering view.

In recent years, the treatment strategy of mid-low rectal cancer has changed from surgical resection alone to multidisciplinary treatment. In order to offer the greatest benefits to the mid-low rectal cancer patients, it is necessary to carry out the preoperative TNM staging for appropriate therapeutic strategies. Total mesorectal excision (TME), preoperative TNM staging and neoadjuvant chemoradiotherapy together may achieve a breakthrough in the therapeutic outcome of mid-low rectal cancer.
