Investigate the effect of prestorage white cell filtration on the cytokines content in blood. Methods: Ten units of whole blood was divided into two parts just after blood collection:one was used as control, the other was filtrated by leukoreduction filters. All units were stored at 4℃ for 6 weeks. Immediately after filtration and every week subsequently, samples for analses of IL-2, IL-8 were obtained. Results:The amounts of IL-2 and IL-8 increased during the storage period. In filtered units, the amounts of IL-8 did not increase during the study period, IL-2 still increased but was still lower than that of unfiltered units at the end of storage. Conclusion: Many cytokines, such as IL-2 and IL-8, were generated and accumulated in blood during blood storage. Leukocyte filtration may prevent this effect to some extend. Prestorage filtration may decrease FNHTRs by preventing the accumulation of cytokines in blood.

Objective To establish a simple and feasible method of preparing young erythrocytes and test some indexes of evaluating the mean cell age.Methods We collected 34 bags of whole blood from healthy blood donors,400ml/each bag,then eliminated WBCs by leukoreduction filter.After twice centrifuging and manual speration,we finally obtained young erythrocytes from the upper section of the red cell layer,the remains were old erythrocytes.These different age erythrocytes were separated by blood bags.Some indexes as pyruvate kinase,reticulocyte count,mean corpuscular volume(MCV),mean corpuscular hemoglobin concentraion(MCHC),erythrocytes deformation index EI were tested on the non-separation erythrocytes,young erythrocytes and old erythrocytes,simultaneouosly,the detecting hemoglobin recovery rate.Results There was significant difference of all indexes among the three kinds of erythrocyte products.The PK activity ratio of young erythrocytes' to non-preparating erythrocytes was 1 175?0 13,showed the mean cell age was about 40 days.The hemoglobin recovery rate was(48 37?3 82)%.Conclusions The method is effective for preparing young erythrocytes,PK,REI,MCV,MCHC and EI can be used to evaluate the young erythrocytes' mean cell age.

Objective To determine the three dimensional motion data of each segment of cervical vertebrae and analyze the characteristics of the intervertebral coupled motion during cervical axial rotation under physiological weight bearing. Methods A total of 16 healthy volunteers (ranging from 22 to 29, median age, 23 years) were recruited to our study. Any cervical spine disorder history, pain or other discomfort and malformations were excluded so as to avoid abnormal neck motion. These subjects underwent CT scans of their cervical segments in a supine position, and 3D models of C1-C7 were constructed. Next, each subject was asked to sit up straight and was positioned in the following sequence:maximal left and right twisting, while double oblique images by DFIS were taken simultaneously at each of the positions. Then, the CT models were matched to the osseous outlines of the images from the two oblique views to quantify the position of cervical vertebraes in 3D at each position. Through local coordinate systems at the center of vertebral bodies, changes of position and angle of each cephalad vertebrae relative to the cauddal one were calculated before and after the axial rotation. Results (1) In the axial rotation of the cervical spine, the contribution of C1/2 accounted for the most of the total cervical rotation range. For the lower levels, axial rotation was found to be maximal at C3/4 and C5/6, minimal at C2/3. (2) In cervical axial motion, C1/2 demonstrated a coupled lateral bending opposite to the axial rotation direction, while each segment of C2-7 demonstrated coupled lateral bending towards the same side of the axial rotation. Among these segments the lateral bending angle of C2/3 was smaller than angles of C3/4, C4/5 and C5/6. Conclusion This study investigated the cervical coupling behavior using the noninvasive 2D-3D matching technique and obtained the motion data at each cervical spinal segment. These findings will help to improve the understanding on physiological cervical spine movement and potential biomechanical mechanism and treatment of cervical spondylosis. Also our data may provide useful reference for the prosthesis design.

The quality control method and standard were established to control the quality of Pteris multifida in this paper. The tests of water content, total ash, acid-unsoluble ash and ethanol-soluble extractives of P. multifida were carried out according to the methods recorded in appendix of Chinese Pharmacopeia (2010 edition, volume 1) . The TLC method was established by using rhoifolin as references, and a mixture of CHCl3 -MeOH-HAc (6: 1: 1) as the developing solvent system on GF254 thin layer plate. The contents of rhoifolin was determined by HPLC on a Diamonsil C18 (4.6 mm x 250 mm, 5 μm) column, using acetonitrile-water (containing 0.15% formic acid) (16: 84) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 1.0 mL x min(-1). The column temperature was 30 degrees C and the detection wave-length was 350 nm. As a result, pterosin C 3-O-β-D-glucosidede and the other constituents were well separated on TLC detected under the UV light at 254 nm . The methodology validation for the assay of rhoifolin presented that it was in good linear correlation in the ranges of 0.025 5-5.1 μg with the regression equations of Y = 1 092.4X + 9.503 5 (r = 0.999 8), and the average recoveries were 100.3% (RSD 1.3%). The content range of rhoifolin from 16 different batches of Pteris multifida was 0.08-5.06 mg x g(-1). The water content, total ash, acid-unsoluble ash and ethanol-soluble extractives of 16 samples varied in the ranges of 7.35% - 12.96%, 6.90% - 16.33%, 2.07% -11.38% and 13.29% -23.87%, respectively. The suggesting limes in the quality standard for water content, total ash, acid-unsoluble ash, ethanol-soluble extractives and rhoifolin content were ≤ 12% , ≤ 15% , ≤ 8.5% , ≥ 14% and ≥ 0.040%, respectively. The result proved that the established quality of control method was specific and accurate, which can be used for the quality control of P. multifida.

Abstract?AlM: To investigate the effect of zebularine ( Zeb ) loaded Poly ( ethylene glycol ) - block - poly ( ε -caprolactone) methyl ether ( MePEG-PCL) nanoparticles ( NPs) on the viability, attachment, and apoptosis of in vitro cultured lens epithelial cells ( LECs) .?METHODS: In vitro cultured infant human lens tissue HLE B-3 immortalized cells were distributed randomly divided into six groups. Each group was administered with free Zeb 50μmol/L ( ZebF1 group ) , 100μmol/L ( ZebF2 group) , Zeb -loaded MePEG-PCL NPs 50μmol/L ( ZebNP1 group) , Zeb -loaded MePEG-PCL NPs 100μmol/L ( ZebNP2 group) , MePEG-PCL empty NPs( NPs group) or blank medium (group C) respectively. A tetrazolium dye assay ( MTT) test and modified MTT test were performed to determine cell viability and cell attachment. DNA ladder was used to detect the cell apoptosis.?RESULTS: Determined by MTT colorimetric method:Cell proliferation rate of LECs were suppressed by all Zeb administration groups in a concentration-time dependent manner (P<0. 05). Compared with the free Zeb groups, the viability of LECs were suppressed more effectively by the same dose of Zeb loaded MePEG-PCL NPs after 24, 48, 96h ( P < 0. 05 ). Determined by improved MTT colorimetric method: The attachment of LECs were decreased in all Zeb administration groups, Zeb loaded MePEG-PCL NPs had better effect on suppressing the attachment of LECs than the free Zeb groups with same dose (P<0. 05). The DNA ladder confirmed that after administration of 96h, group C, NPs group and ZebF1 group showed no DNA fragment, however the DNA fragment were performed in ZebF2, ZebNP1, ZebNP2 groups and displays the trend of ZebNP2> ZebNP1>ZebF2 (P<0. 05).?CONCLUSlON: Zeb loaded MePEG-PCL NPs had better effect on suppressing the viability and attachment of in vitro cultured LECs than the free Zeb groups , as well as enhancing the apoptosis.

Related literature and studies concerning the kinematics in patients after cervical arthrodesis have extensive?ly reviewed and comprehensively analyzed in 4 terms of changes in adjacent segment range of motion, motion segment per?cent contributions, motion pattern of cervical facet joints, and deviated center of rotation at adjacent segments. These report?ed researches of in-vivo kinematics after cervical arthrodesis are almost on the sagittal plane. Few data have been reported on the 6DOF kinematics under physiological loading conditions. Whether adjacent segment pathology caused by hypermobili?ty remains controversial. Long-term follow-up of large sample randomized controlled studies and obtaining the accurate 6DOF kinematics are the best way to resolve controversy.
