Acta Anatomica Sinica 1954;0(02):-
Bilateral ablation of the cerebral parietal cortex in adult rats was performed. After appropriate days, the tissue surrounding the wound was removed and the brain wound tissue extract (EWTE) was prepared. Newborn rat cerebral cortical neurons were used as a culture model to test the neuronotrophic factors (NTFs) and neuritepromoting factors (NPFs) in EWTE. In order to investigate the origin of above mentioned factors whether related to the macrophages which appeared in the brain wound region at early stage, we designed to culture macrophages and collected the macrophage conditioned medium (M?CM) to measure their NTF and NPF activities for cultured cerebral cortical neurons. On the other hand, we also observed the effect of EWTE and M?CM on PC 12 (phehrmytema) cells and further studied the action of NPFs. Cur experimental results show that EWTE and M?CM contained NTFs and NPFs for cultured cerebral cortical neurons. These factors appeared in EWTE at 4 days post-lesion, with maximal level of their activities reached between 5 and 6 days post-lesion and there was another peak of NPF activity at 9 days post-lesion, until 13 days post-lesion also detected their activities. The NTF activity in M?CM was lower than that in BWTE, in contrast, the NPF activity in M?CM was higher than that in BWTE. There was NPF activity to PC 12 cells in BWTE and M?CM. According to the experimental assays, we suppose that the neurotrophic factors in BWTE mainly come from the macrophages which appear in the lesion site at early stage of injured brain, subsequently, it may relate to the astrocytes. The components of these factors may be complexity and multiplicity that remain to be solved.

Objective Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) is a growing public health concern that has been associated with pediatric fatalities. This study investigated the genotypes of staphylococcal cassette chromosomal mec (SCCmec) and Panton-Valentine Leukocidin (PVL) in MRSA strains isolated from Shanghai Children's Hospital by PCR. Methods A total of 30 strains of MRSA were isolated from various clinical specimens from October 2005 to June 2006. The antimicrobial susceptibility was measured by agar diffusion method. SCCmec typing was conducted using a novel multiplex PCR assay allowing for concomitant detection of methicillin resistance (mecA gene) to facilitate detection and classification of all currently described SCCmec typesⅠ, Ⅱ, Ⅲ, Ⅳa, b, c, d andⅤ. PVL gene was also determined by PCR. Results mecA gene was positive in all the strains. SCCmecⅡ was identified in 6(20.0%) isolates, SCCmecⅢ in 15(50.0%) isolates, SCCmecⅤ in 2 and SCCmecⅣa in 1 isolate. Six MRSA strains were non-typeable. The isolates with SCCmecⅡ or SCCmecⅢ were resistant to multiple antibiotics. The strains harboring SCCmecⅣa or SCCmecⅤwere susceptible to all antibiotics except β-lactams. Eleven (36.7%) isolates were PVL positive. The genotypes and subgenotypes of staphylococcal chromosomal cassette mec of eleven PVL-positive MRSA were SCCmecⅡ(1 isolates), SCCmecⅢ (5 isolates), SCCmecⅣa (1 isolate), SCCmecⅤ (2 iso-Lates) non-typeable (2 isolates). Conclusions SCCmecⅡ and SCCmecⅢ are the major genotypes of MRSA in our hospital. These isolates are multi-resistant to antibiotics. The prevalence of PVL gene is higher in SCCmecⅡ- or SCCmeⅢ-positive MRSA. The isolates with SCCmecⅡ or SCCmecⅢ were resistant to multiple antibiotics.

OBJECTIVE To establish a model for chlorpyrifos(CPF)whole-body dynamic inhalation exposure in SD rats and investigate the injury effects after acute exposure by CPF. METHODS By optimizing the aerosol parameters ,the animal acute dynamic inhalation exposure of CPF was established. Absorption sampling-gas phase detecting technology was used to monitor the concentration of CPF in the whole-body dynamic-inhalation exposure cabin by exploring the relationship between the concentration , particle size of CPF aerosol and the CPF inhalation time in the exposure cabin via a particle size detector. Using Bliss method,specific pathogen free SD male rats were allocated to the environment of CPF exposure at different lethal concentrations and time points. The symptoms and deaths of these SD male rats in different groups were recorded within the following 10 d. Based on the median lethal concentra?tion time(LCt50),the values of plasma cholinesterase(ChE)were checked at different time points after being exposed at different doses. RESULTS The mean concentrations of CPF aerosol at nine time points was 160.6 mg · m-3,the relative standard deviation value was 6.9%;the geometrical mean of aerosol particle size was 1.1 μm,and the geometric standard deviation was 1.8. The results met the technical requirements of Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development regarding acute inhalation exposure. Under these equipment conditions,the LCt50 of CPF acute inhalation of SD male rats was 1654.2 mg · m-3 · h,suggesting that plasma ChE inhibitory rate was higher with the increase in the exposing dose,and that there was a significant difference as compared with the controls(P<0.05). CONCLU?SION The model for whole-body dynamic-inhalation exposure of CPF is applicable to rats,which can serve as an experimental platform and technical support to inhalation vulnerability and the research on prevention and cure of organophosphate industrial products and nerve agents.

Objective To investigate the effect of Glutamine (Gln) on heat stress-induced dysfunction of intestinal epithelial barrier. Methods Human intestinal epithelial Caco-2 cells were pre-incubated with Gln for 24h and then exposed to heat 43℃ for 1h. Cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) was used to detect the cellular proliferation with various concentrations of Gln and choose an optimum concentration for subsequent experiments. The barrier integrity was measured by transepithelial electrical resistance (TEER) and horseradish peroxidase (HRP) permeability. Levels of tight junction protein occludin and ZO-1 were analyzed by Western blotting. Cytoskeleton using Coomassie blue staining was observed by microscopy. Results At 0.7mmol/L concentration, Gln showed the most effective cell proliferation compared with other concentration groups (P<0.05). Therefore, 0.7mmol/L Gln was used as effective concentration in following experiments. Gln attenuated the TEER decrease and impairment of intestinal permeability induced by heat exposure compared with 43℃ group (P<0.01). The expressions of occludin and ZO-1 were significantly elevated by pretreatment with Gln. The distortion of cytoskeleton was also effectively prevented. Conclusion 0.7mmol/L Gln is potentially beneficial for protecting against heat stress-induced permeability dysfunction and epithelial barrier damage.
