Objective To investigate the effects of sulfur dioxide(SO2) pollution in different concentrations on activity of SOD,levels of GSH and MDA in heart and lung tissue of exercised rats,in order to elucidate the toxicological mechanism of SO2 pollution.Methods Forty-eight SD rats were randomly divided into eight groups:a rest group(RG),an exercise group(EG),a low pollution exercise group(LEG),a low pollution rest group(LRG),a moderate pollution exercise group(MEG),a moderate pollution rest group(MRG),a high pollution exercise group(HEG) and a high pollution rest group(HRG).All groups,except RG and EG,were exposed to SO2 with different concentrations(5 mg/m3,10 mg/m3,15 mg/m3),meanwhile exercised rats run in a motor-driven wheel at a speed of 8 m/min,2 h/d for 10 days.Rats were sacrificed at 24 h after treatment and the anti-oxidative enzymes activity and lipid peroxidation(LPO) levels were measured.Results Compared with RG,SOD activity of lung tissue significantly decreased in HEG,MEG,LEG(P

ObjectiveTo discuss treatment experiencing in femur periprothetic fracture after hip arthroplasty in pre-, intra- and post-surgery.Methods From March 2005 to May 2011, 27 patients (11 males, 16 females) aged ＞75 years with femur periprothetic fracture after hip replacement were studied. The mean time from primary hip replacement to femur perprosthetic fracture was 63 months(ranging from 7 to 83 months). According to vanconver classification, type A applying steel wire of character for 8 bind technique was 5 cases, type B applying prolonging stem technique locking compress plate (LCP)technique surrounding instrument technique was 19 cases and type C applying bone graft and plate fixation technique was 3 cases. All patients were followed up from 9 to 25 months (average, 16 months). The results of treatment were evaluated by Harris score and X rays. Results Bony heal was obtained in 22 patients and was not obtained in five cases among whom bony heal occurred in 3 cases and 2 patients could only keep prothetic and limb stable after receiving the bone graft once more. Walking was free in 14 cases,9 cases needed assistant walking instrument,and only 4 cases stayed in the bed freely. Harris score for last follow-up was 52 to 93 (mean 76).Conclusions Based on the patient general status, the fracture types and practical and stable principle, the effective methods can get good results in the treatment of femur periprosthetic fracture in aged patient.

The study on mycoflora in bottled purified d rinking water was carried out.91 Samples of products were colleted from 59 bottl ing factories in Fujian Province and were examined and identified.461 Strains of fungi were isolated from 58(63 74%)different samples.Fungi imperfecti was the e umycetes isolated most frequently.These fungi were not closely related to the ae robic bacterial count and coliform of the studied waters but was clearly associa ted with the packaging of the products.The result confirmed that the cross conta minations on the process of post-purification were the main source of fungi in the final products.

BACKGROUND: Few reports concern the effects of dendritic cells-a kind of antigen presenting cells, and interleukin-10 (IL-10) on airway hyperreactivity or inflammation. OBJECTIVE: To construct mice IL-10 recombinant adenovirus vector Ad-mIL-10 to acquire the dendritic cells modified by mIL-10, which can provide a foundation for the further study. METHODS: Mouse IL-10 (mIL-10) gene comprise of enzyme cutting spot was synthesized according to the mIL-10 gene sequence and multiclone spot of adenovirus vector, connected to pMD18-T vector and sequenced. MIL-10 was subcloned to BD Adeno-X~(TM) vector, packed and augmented in HEK 293 cells, following determine the protein expression, and the vector was transfected to mice bone marrow-derived dendritic cells. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Recombinant adenovirus vector Ad-mIL-10 was successfully synthesized, packed and augmented, which could highly express protein IL-10. Bone marrow-derived dendritic cells were successfully cultured and transduced in vitro. It suggested that it is feasible to transfect mice dendritic cells by Ad-mIL-10 adenovirus vector. The study can provide more sufficient theoretic evidence for the possibility of correlative gene therapy.

Objective To evaluate the effect of antler polypeptides from Cervus elaphus yarkandensis on MC3T3-E1 cells. Methods The concentration of antler polypeptides of Cervus elaphus yarkandensis was measured by BCA protein assay kit. MC3T3-E1 cells were cultured and analyzed by BCIP/NBT chromogenic alkaline phosphatase (ALP) staining kit. After being induced to form mineralized knot, the cells were stained by using Alizarin red staining. Three different concentrations (10, 1.0, 0.1 μg/mL) of antler polypeptides were analyzed by MTT method and micronutrients enzymes standard method to determine the effect of cell proliferation and ALP synthesis. Results The concentration of antler polypeptides was 0.07 mg/mL. The results of in vitro cell activity analysis showed that the positive rate of ALP was 90%and the mineralization knot was stained red. Compared with the control group, the different concentrations of antler polypeptides all showed the function of cell proliferation and the effect was dose-dependent after 3 d and 7 d. Compared with the control group, at the 3 d, three groups of antler polypeptides promoted synthesis and secretion of ALP (P<0.01) and the results showed a dose-dependent effect. Conclusion Antler polypeptides could obviously promote the proliferation of MC3T3-E1 cells and secretion of ALP, which indicated that antler polypeptides have certain effect on osteoporosis.

ObjectiveTo study the relation ship between progressive cerebral infarction and thyroid hormone level,and analyze the risk factors of progressive cerebral infarction.MethodsThe thyroid hormone,triglyceride esters and fasting glucose levels of 48 patients with progressive cerebral infarction,138 patients with non-progressive cerebral infarction and 60 healthy subjects as control group were measured.ResultsCompared with the patients with non-progressive cerebral infarction,serum T3 of patients with progressive cerebral infarction was lower( P ＜0.05),and the levels of triglyceride ( TG),C-reactive protein ( CRP),and fasting blood glucose were higher ( all P ＜ 0.01 ).ConclusionPatients with progressive cerebral infarction were in a low level of thyroid hormones,and the increasing levels of TG,CRP,and fasting blood glucose were risk factors for progressive cerebral infarction.

Objective To explore the effects of perfluorocarbon (PFC) on the damaged type Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells (AEC Ⅱ) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS),and the apoptosis and inflammatory reaction of AEC Ⅱ induced by LPS.Methods Primary AEC Ⅱ was divided into control group according to the random number table method,LPS group,PFC group and PFC + LPS group.LPS group:LPS (1 μg/ml) was added to cells.PFC group:PFC (20％) was added to cells.PFC + LPS group:PFC (20％) and LPS (1 μg/ml) were added to cells.The apoptotic rate of AEC Ⅱ was detected by flow cytometry.Morphologic change was observed by electron microscope.Concentrations of intedeukin (IL)-6 and IL-10 of supernatant were detected by ELISA.Results Apoptotic rate of AEC Ⅱ remarkably increased in LPS group than in control grouop [(10.89 ± 1.04) ％ vs (14.29 ± 1.93) ％] (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with LPS group,the apoptotic rate of AEC Ⅱ decreased remarkably in the PFC + LPS group [(12.22 ± 1.47) ％],(P ＜ 0.05).IL-6 production of AEC Ⅱ significantly increased in LPS group than in control group [(482.58 ± 26.84) vs (229.40 ± 7.61) pg/ml pg/ml] (P ＜ 0.05),while decreased in PFC + LPS group [(265.44 ± 29.95) pg/ml].IL-10 production of AEC Ⅱ significantly increased in LPS group than in control group [(1 497.29 ±191.89) pg/ml vs (725.87 ±51.83) pg/ml] (P ＜0.05),while there was no difference between LPS group and PFC + LPS group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion PFC can protect AEC Ⅱ against the injury induced by LPS.PFC can also release the level of inflammatory response.

ObjectiveTo observe the dynamic change of mtDNA in rats with lung ischemiareperfusion (IR) injury and the implications.MethodsThe rat model of lung IR injury was made.Thirty-two male SD rats were divided into IR group and control group.Each group was sub-divided into two subgroups.Thirty and 60 min after reperfusion,8 rats of each group were sacrificed; left lungs and whole blood were collected.Histopathological study of lung tissues were performed; wet weight/dry (W/D) weight ratio of the lung was detected; DNA was extracted from whole blood,and mtDNA level in circulation was detected by using real-time PCR; the protein levels of MMP-9 and MCP-1were examined by ELISA.Results(1) As compared with control group,the edema and PMN emigration were more serious in IR group; besides,the W/D ratio was increased progressively in IR groups as compared with control groups respectively (P＜0.01); (2) As compared with control group,the mtDNA in circulation was significantly increased 30 min after reperfusion (P＜0.01),and the same trend was detected 60 min after reperfusion (P＜0.01):(3) There was no significant difference between the two groups in the content of MMP-9 and MCP-1in the lungs 30 min after reperfusion (P＞0.05),but the MMP-9 and MCP-1expression levels were increased 60 min after reperfusion (P＜0.01).ConclusionThe mtDNA expression in circulation was increased in the early stage of lung IR,and the increased expression of mtDNA was earlier than the up-regulation of MMP-9 and MCP-1.Our results indicated that mtDNA may aggravate lung injury through increasing MMP-9 and MCP-1in the lung IR.
