Chitosan have applied extensively in the field of medicine. We review the mechanism of chitosan hemostasis. The effect of chitosan on hemostasis is independent of all known“Cascade-like”coagulation pathways,induding platelets and soluble coagulant factors. Chitosan induce hemostasis by coalesce erythrocytes to one another to form a blood clot. In addition,the use of chitosan in hemostat is indicated in this paper.

Objective To observe the effects of fenofibrate and pioglitazone on the expressions of PPAR- α, PPAR-γ, and intracellular signaling molecules in pancreatic islets of obese rats induced by high-fat diets. Methods SD obese rat models were established with high-fat diet, and 40 male rats were assigned to 4 groups including high-fat diet (HF group), high-fat diet with fenofibrate (FF group), pioglitazone (FP group) treatment, and control rats with normal diet (NC group). After 8 weeks intervention, immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the expressions of various proteins in islets; At the same time, islets mass were scored in tissue slides. Results Islets mass enlarged in HF group. The compositions of islet cells were the same as the control. The expression of insulin was lower in HF group than the control, but after using pioglitazone, less islets mass and more insulin expression were found in FP group. Compared with the control group, expressions of PPAR-α, PPAR-γ protein were reduced in HF group, and the expression of PPAR-α protein increased in FF group, and the expression of PPAR-γ protein was increased in FP group. The levels of NF-кB, p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK), ERK1 proteins increased significantly in HF group, the expressions of NF-кB, p38 MAPK decreased in FF and FP groups, and the level of ERK1 decreased only in FP group, the protein level of I-кB showed no difference among control, HF group, and FF groups. Conclusion Fenofibrate and pioglitazone may partially protect islet cells function and improve survival by correcting the disturbance of intracellular signaling molecules.

Objective To establish immortalized neural progenitor cell strain and provide stable cell resource for cell-transplantation and gene therapies. Methods Plasmid pCMVSV40T/PUR containing the simian virus 40 large T antigen gene (SV40Tag) were transfected into the primary cultured neural progenitor cells (NPCs) of newborn rat using lipofectin transfection method. Colonies were isolated by puromycin selection and expanded by many passages. Anti-nestin antibodies were used to identify the cultured cells. The specific molecular marker of neurons and astrocytes were detected using immunocytochemistry method to investigate the capability of differentiation of the transfected cells. The expression of SV40Tag in expanded cell lines was identified by RT-PCR, Southern blot and immunocytochemistry method.Results One anti-puromycin cell clone was obtained, which was microtubule-associated protein-2 (MAP-2) positive cells with the capability of proliferation and could differentiate into MAP-2 or glial fibrillary acidic protein positive cells. The existence of SV40Tag cDNA and the expression of mRNA and protein of SV40Tag were confirmed in transfected cells. The transfected cells were expanded to immortalized cell strain maintained for more than 50 passages, named as immortalized neural progenitor cell (INPC) . INPCs were elliptical or triangular cells with two or three short axons. The population doubling time of INPC was (22.9?2.7)h, subculture, freezing and recovering had no effect on cellular shape and proliferation of INPC. Conclusion Immortalized neural progenitor cell strain was established successfully. It may provide stable cell resource for the basic researches and cell-transplantation therapies with NPC.

The effects of chitosan and N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan on blood hemostasis are tested.The dynamic blood coagulation experiments show chitsan with low deacetylation degree has higher absorption ability.The experiments can't find that any altered red blood cell morphology or an unusual affinity between erythrocytes appears evidently in the ACD blood treated with chitosan.The concentration of the platelets on the chitosan surface may be one of causes that platelets produce blood coagulation.Chitosan is substituted by the carboxymethyl and has water solubility.But N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan can lead torouleau and not toaltering the morphology of the erythrocyte.The blood hemostasis effect is not obvious.The values of TT,PT,APTT and FIB are measured from blood and the results fail toprove that chitosan and N,O-carboxymethyl chitosan can activate the coagulation factors.

Environmental physiological method adopted, the ergonomic experiment is to seek the best parameter of the protective hood structural size, on which the structure design of the protective hood will be based, through the analysis of the organic relationship between the microenvironment of power air-purifying medical protective hood and the body's physiological characteristics. The changes of such indexes due to different air currents are analyzed as the oxygen, carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity in the microenvironment. The changes of testees' physiological parameters and their responses to psychological loads and body strengths are paid attention to. The results show the hood can meet the testees' demands with proper air current.

Commercial production of bioethanol from lignocellulosic hydrolysates requires efficient fermenting strains. The abilities of the strain to converting all types of sugars in the hydrolysate to ethanol in high yield and to effectively tolerating/metabolizing inhibitors are necessary. Genome shuffling is a novel method for breeding, and it has been applied in pharmaceutical and food industry. This review summarized the technique of genome shuffling including principle, process, applications and its prospect for strains improvement in ethanol production from lignocellulosic hydrolysates.
