Effects of soman on lymphocyte proliferation are investigated in mice. 1 d after soman(154 ?g/kg,sc) poisoning B-lymphocyte reaction to lipopolysaccharide(LPS) is inhibited significantly and is persistent.T-cell proliferation response stimulated by concanavalin(Con A)has a 2-phase changeson the 1st day an increase followed by a dramatical reduction. Both the decreases of T-and B-lymphocyte mitogenic response and the primary increase of T-cell response show a close correlation with the doses of soman in this experiment. It has no relation to the change of the whole blood cholinesterase activity.

Objective To investigate the situation of flea species and distribution in the natural foci of plague in Baotou and provide a scientific basis for prevention and control of the disease.Method Flea specimens collected over the years and literature recordings were analyzed systematically.Results A total of 5 families,19 genera and 39 fleas were recorded,and 9 of them could be naturally infected with plague bacteria (Nosopsyllus laeviceps,Xenopsylla conformis,Neopsylla pleskei,Citellophilus tesquorum,Neopsylla bidentatiformis,Leptopsylla pavlovskii,Ophthalmopsylla praefecta,Rhadinopsylla insolita and Frontopsylla luculenta).There were 34 fleas in the north area,and 14 of them were regional fleas; there were 25 species in south area,and 5 were regional fleas.Conclusion Flea distribution in Baotou City has obvious regional characteristics,and these fleas can be naturally infected by the plague.

Objective To investigate the effects of ageing on the expression of peroxisome proliferat or-activated receptor (PPAR)? and explore the relation with insulin resistance (IR).Methods Minimal model technique of Bergman was used to estimate the insulin sensitivity of young (10-12 weeks) and aged (24 months) SD rat. The PPAR?mRNA levels of omental fat were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT -PCR) and PPAR? protein level were determined by western blotting respectively . Results The level of IR in the aged group was significantly increased compared with tha t of the young group(IR: 11 49?6 92 vs 5 28?1 94,P

Objective To investigate the effects of direct peritoneal resuscitation (DPR) with sodium pyruvate from hemorrhagic shock (HS) on intestinal injury in rats.Methods Fifty SPF male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-250 g,were used in this study.The animals were anesthetized with 1％ pentobarbital sodium 40 mg/kg,tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated.Femoral artery was cannulated for mean arterial pressure (MAP) monitoring,blood-letting,blood sampling and fluid infusion.HS was induced according to the method described by Wiggers.MAP was maintained at 35-40 mm Hg for 60 min.The animals were then randomly and equally divided into 5 groups:sham operation group (group S) ; conventional resuscitation group (group CR) ; DPR with different fluid groups (DPRt-3 groups).In group CR,at 1 h after HS,the animals were resuscitated with infusion of the blood withdrawn and normal saline (the volume was 2 times volume of blood loss).In DPR1-3 groups,conventional resuscitation was performed,at the same time,1.5 ％ glucose-based peritoneal dialysis solution containing lactate,1.5％ glucose-based peritoneal dialysis solution containing lactate (40.00 mmol/L),and 1.5％ glucosebased peritoneal dialysis solution containing high lactate (80.00 mmol/L) 20 ml were infused intraperitoneally over 30 min,respectively.MAP was recorded before blood letting,at 5,30 and 60 min of HS,and at 5,30,60,90 and 120 min after the end of resuscitation.At 120 min after the end of resuscitation,the lactate level in the arterial blood was measured.The animals were then sacrificed.Small intestinal samples were obtained for determination of malondialdehyde (MDA) content,myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expression,and for microscopic examination.The damage to the small intestinal mucosa was assessed and scored.Results Compared with MAP before blood letting,MAP during HS was significantly decreased,and no significant change in MAP was found after resuscitation in CR and DPR1-3 groups (P ＜ 0.05).The lactate level in the arterial blood,MDA content,MPO activity,TNF-α expression and intestinal mucosal damage scores were significantly higher in CR and DPR1-3 groups than in S group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01),while lower in DPR1-3 groups than in CR group (P ＜0.01),and in DPR2,3 groups than in DPR1 group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).The lactate level in the arterial blood,MDA content and TNF-α expression were significantly lower in DPR3 group than in DPR2 group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).Conclusion Direct peritoneal resuscitation with sodium pyruvate can reduce the intestinal injury induced by HS and inhibition of lipid peroxidation and inflammatory responses is involved in the mechanism in rats.

Objective To evaluate the effect of lobe bronchus blockade with a branchial blocker on intrapulmonary shunt during radical esophagus cancer resection. Methods Twenty four ASA Ⅰ-Ⅲ patients with normal lung function aged 18-69 yrs undergoing elective radical esophagus cancer resection were randomized into 2 groups ( n = 12 each): group A one-lung ventilation (OLV) and group B lobe bronchus blockode. Radial artery and right internal jugular vein were cannulated for BP and CVP monitoring and blood sampling. Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 50 ?g?kg-1, fentanyl 4 ?g?kg-1, propofol 2 mg?kg-1 and vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg-1. In group A double-lumen tube (DLT) was used while in group B a single lumen endotracheal tube was placed first, then a bronchial blocker was inserted fiberoptically into the bronchus of lower lobe of the operated side. The patients were mechanically ventilated (FiO2= 100%, VT = 8 ml?kg-1 , RR = 10-15 bpm, I: E = 1:2). PaCO2 was maintained at 30-35 mm Hg. Anesthesia was maintained with 1.5%-2.0% isoflurane and intermittent Ⅳ boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium. BP, HR, CVP, SpO2, PETCO2 and airway pressure were monitored during operation. Blood samples were taken simultaneously from radial artery and central vein for blood gas analysis before induction of anesthesia when the patients were lying supine and breathing spontaneously (T0), after the lungs on both sides were ventilated for 30 min in lateral position (T1) and 30 min after OLV (group A) or lower lobe bronchus was blocked off (group B) in lateral position (T2). Qs/Qt was calculated (blood from central vein was used instead of mixed venous blood from pulmonary artery) . Blood concentrations of TXB2 and 6-k-PGF1 were determined by radioimmunoassay at T0, T1 and T2. Results There was no significant difference in demographic data between the two groups. At T2 the airway pressure in group A was significantly higher than that in group B. At T2 PaO2 was significantly higher in group B than in group A. Qs/Qt was significantly increased at T1 and T2 as compared to the baselines in both groups. Qs/Qt was significantly increased at T2 compared to that at T1 in group A only, while there was no significant difference between Qs/Qt at T1 and T2 in group B. The TXB2 concentration at T2 was significantly increased as compared to that at T0 and T1 in group A and was significantly higher than that at T2 in group B. Conclusion Lower lobe bronchus blockade was superior to OLV in terms of Qs/Qt and PaO2 during esophagus cancer resection.

Objective To investigate the clinical and serological manifestations of the interstitial lung disease(ILD) resulting from the dermatomyositis(DM) or the polymyodsitis(PM),and the factors affecting the resulting of treatment for the purpose of providing necessary reference for clinical treatment and diagnosis.Methods The clinical manifestations and the findings of serological tests of 18 patients compared with only DM or PM.Results ILD was likely to strike 42.9 percent of patients with DM or PM,who were higher than those without ILD in the rate of positive Jo-1,LDH and Reynolds disease.Conclusion The patients with DM or PM,with their high probability to be stricken by ILD,need HR-CT scanning in order to be diagnosed as early as possible.

Caveolins are the major component proteins of the caveolae, and they are also the essential proteins to carry out the physiological functions of caveolae. Caveolins are expressed in smooth muscle cels, endothelial cels, and adipocytes. Caveolae are not only involved in the basic physiological processes, such as celular fat intake, endocytosis, and pinocytosis, but also play a very important role in cel signal transduction and transport and permeability of macromolecular substance. With the in-depth research on the molecular structure and biochemical function of caveolins, increasing studies have shown that caveolae and their main component caveolins play an important role in the pathophysiological process of cerebrovascular diseases. This article reviews the roles of caveolins in the blood-brain barrier destruction after cerebral ischemia.

Objective To observe and explore the effects of transparent cap-fitted colonoscope combined with carbon dioxide injection on the cecal intubation time and detection of colonic polyps during enteroscopy. Methods 216 patients underwent colonoscopy from January 2014 to June 2016 were selected and randomly divided into A, B, C groups according to random number table, 72 cases in each. Group A with transparent cap-fitted colonoscopy, group B with CO2 injection before colonoscopy, and group C combined with the above two methods and then underwent colonoscopy, cecal intubation time and colonic polyp detection rate were compared among the three groups during the inspection. Results A, B, C groups with cecal intubation ratio showed no significant differences (95.8% vs 90.3% vs 98.6%) (χ2 = 5.34, P = 0.069); the sequence of mean cecal intubation time was group Cgroup A>group B (38.9% vs 34.7% vs 23.6%) (χ2 = 4.10, P = 0.129). The sequences of visual analogue scale score after 10 min [(4.35 ± 0.62) vs (4.88 ± 0.85) vs (5.57 ± 1.05)] and 30 min [(3.04 ± 0.37) vs (3.30 ± 0.56) vs (4.41 ± 0.84)] of coloscope withdraw were both group C

In recent years,stem cell transplantation for the treatment of ischemic stroke has become a hot topic.However,since embryonic stem cells (ESCs) transplantation is limited by the ethics and law,stem cell research was once in trouble.Induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) are a class of cells by introducing the specific transcription factors into somatic cells,which have the similar characteristics with ESCs,and also avoid the ethical issues and immunological rejection,making them become the most ideal replacer of ESCs.Although the current research on iPSCs has made some progress,their induction efficiency and safety issues remain to be resolved.This article reviews the status quo,mechanisms,and problems faced in clinical practice for iPSCs transplantation in the treatment of ischemic stroke.
