Objective To investigate the feasibility of pig lung cancer model induced by bronchial perfusion of 3,4-benzopyrene. Methods 24 experimental pig were randomly divided into model group and control group, each containing 12 cases. Experimental pigs were under the anaesthetic state, pigs in the model group were given endobronchial infusion of 3,4 - benzopyrene - corn oil mixture, pigs in control group were injected with equal capacity of corn oil.Perfusion 1 times a week for 16 weeks.In week 16,32 and 48,all experimental pig were given lung CT scans, then the lung lesions were observed.After 48 weeks, the pig lung, esophagus, and gastrointestinal tract, liver and brain and other organs were dissected, the presence of tumor formation was observed, and the mass, and experimental pig lung biopsy were given hematoxylin and eosin staining analysis. Results Lung cancers were not found in control group by both CT lung cancers and anatomy. In the model group, pulmonary CT showed space-occupying lesions with different location and size in lungs of 8 pigs, and the space-occupying lesions were confirmed as malignant tumors by pathology, including 3 cases of moderately differentiated adenocarcinoma, 2 cases of highly differentiated squamous cell carcinoma, 1 case of alveolar cell carcinoma,2 cases of adenosquamous carcinoma. Three other pigs and pigs in the control group were not found with tumor by both lung CT and anatomy. Pigs in model group were induced successfully to malignant tumor in 1 year , the total tumor formation rate was 75%,lung tumor formation rate was 66.66%. Conclusion The trachea bronchial perfusion of 3,4- benzopyrene is a simple,safe and reliable way to construct animal models of lung cancer.

Education and Legal System are the first two approaches needed to be fully applied to strength- en the construction of medical morality and medical manners.Much attention shall be paid to the theory and ideological education of the professional morality.Meanwhile,medical staffs shall keep their medical behaviors and economic behaviors within the bounds of laws.Three points shall be emphasized in the course of strength- ening construction of medical morality and medical manners: a)change of minds; b)strict compliance with the rules and regulations; and c)big efforts to strengthen the construction of medical quality as its core.In order to further strengthen the construction of medical morality and medical manners,outline of the relevant teaching material shall be compiled; regulation mechanisms to both the medical staffs and patients shall be amplified; and current pricing systems in hospitals of high drug expenses and low charge of medical service shall be re- formed.

To counteract the immune system in parasitic hosts, some viruses encode proteins to suppress the RNA interference (RNAi) effect. In this report, we established two RNAi systems to be easily observed with strong and obvious effect. The function of the P19 of tomato bushy stunt virus, which suppresses RNAi in mammal cells, was then studied using these two systems. Short hairpin RNAs targeting green fluorescence protein (pshRNA-GFP) and firefly luciferase (pshRNA-luc) were designed and inserted into a eukaryotic transcriptional vector pTZU6+1, respectively. The shRNA expressing vectors were co-transfected with plasmids containing the target gene with or without P19. The GFP expression level was assayed by fluorescence microscopy, Western blotting and RT-PCR. The luciferase expression level was analyzed by the dual-luciferase assay system. pshRNA designed in this study down-regulated the target gene specifically and efficiently, with a decrease of expression of both genes of about 70%, respectively. When P19 was introduced into the RNAi systems, the expression of both GFP and the luciferase were mostly recovered compared with the control groups. The RNAi systems of GFP and luciferase were constructed successfully, demonstrating that P19 of tomato bushy stunt virus has the ability to counteract the RNAi effect induced by shRNA in mammal cells.

Objective To study the different ultrasonic features in patients of polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) with or without obesity based on body mass index (BMI), and to investigate whether certain hormonal factors correlate with ovarian morphology and blood flow, and to discuss the role of ultrasound combined with hormone test in the diagnosis of obese PCOS. Methods One hundred and five women with PCOS were recruited. Patients were divided into two groups according to BMI;obese PCOS group (OB-PCOS, n=32, BMI≥25 kg/m2) and non-obese PCOS (NOB-PCOS, n=73, BMI<25 kg/m2). The ultrasonic parameters of follicle number (FN), ovarian volume (Vol), resistance index (RI) of ovarian stromal blood, RI of uterine artery and serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH), follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), the ratio of luteinizing hormone and follicle-stimulating hormone (LH/FSH), progesterone (P), estradiol (E2), free testosterone (FT), prolactin (PRL), sex hormoe binding globulin (SHBG), fasting plasma glucose (FPG), fasting insulin (FINS), the extent of insulin resistance and hyperandrogenism (HOMA-IR) were measured and compared. The correlation of the ultrasonic parameters and hormonal factors were analyzed. Results The Vol of OB-PCOS group was significantly higher than NOB-PCOS group [(12.25±4.89) ml vs (10.73±2.30) ml, t=2.20, P < 0.05]. FN and uterine artery RI of OB-PCOS group had a rising trend and RI of ovarian interstitial was on a reducing trend compared with NOB-PCOS group. But the differences were not statistically significant. The levels of FINS and HOMA-IR in OB-PCOS group [(14.82±6.45) mU/L and (3.91±3.30)] were significantly higher than those in NOB-PCOS group [(8.04±4.57) mU/L and (1.64±1.20)] (t=4.87, 3.47, respectively, both P < 0.01). And FSH in NOB-PCOS group was significantly higher than OB-PCOS group [(5.95±1.91) U/L vs (4.65±1.88) U/L, t=-2.77, P<0.01]. In POCS patients, FN was significantly associated with LH/FSH (r=0.35, P<0.01), and FT (r=0.38, P<0.01). Vol was significantly associated with LH/FSH, BMI, HOMA-IR and FPG (r=0.27, P<0.05;r=0.25, P<0.05;r=0.40, P<0.01;r=0.32, P<0.01). RI of ovarian stromal blood flow was significantly associated with SHBG (r=0.28, P<0.05). In OB-POCS group, RI of uterine artery was significantly associated with PRL (r=-0.58, P < 0.05). Vol was significantly associated with HOMA-IR (r=0.47, P < 0.05). In NOB-POCS group, FN was significantly associated with LH/FSH (r=0.33, P<0.05), and FT (r=0. 56, P<0.05). Vol was significantly associated with FT (r=0.31, P < 0.05). Conclusion There are some differences in the ultrasound and endocrine parameters between obese and non-obese PCOS patients, and some correlations exist between them.

BACKGROUND: Surface roughness of implants can directly influence cellular proliferation, differentiation, and gene expression. OBJECTIVE: To observe the early attachment of periodontal ligament cells (PDLCs) to pure titanium with different surface roughness levels, and to study the effect of surface performance on cell differentiation. DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: Randomized controlled observation/multi-sample comparison study, which was performed at Center of Science and Technology, Gannan Medical College between January 2005 and July 2006. MATERIALS: Pure titanium stick was cut into pieces, of 10 mm diameter and 2 mm thickness, using cutting-off machine, and there were 24 sections in total. Then, the titanium sections were randomly divided into four groups: simple mechanical processing, nitric acid processing, sand blasting processing, and combination group, with 6 sections per group. METHODS: TR240 portable-type surface roughness meter was used in this study. In the simple mechanical processing group, sections were scoured by sand paper alone; in the nitric acid processing group, sections were etched with 65% HNO3 for 1 hour at 100 ℃ after scoured by sand paper; in the sand blasting processing group, sections were sandblasted by 100 μ m AI203 after scoured by sand paper; in the combination group, sections were etched with 65% HNO3 for I hour at 100～C after scoured by sand paper and sandblasted by 100 μ m Al2O3. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Samples were maintained in DMEM for 30 minutes, and the third-passage cells were inoculated. Then, titanium sections were taken out at different time points of 30, 60, 120, 240 minutes, 1, 3, and 7 days. Surface roughness and early attachment of PDLCs were detected under fluorescent microscope. RESULTS: O Quantitative analysis: Surface roughness was (599.5±8.3) nm in the simple mechanical processing group, (406.5 +4.6) nm in the nitric acid processing group, (358.8±11.8) nm in the sand blasting processing group, and (8.7±2.0) nm in the combination group. On the other hand, surface roughness in the simple mechanical processing group was significantly higher Fluorescence observation exhibited that number of PDLCs attaching to pure titanium surface was increased, and the proliferation was greater with the time passing by. in addition, surface roughness of pure titanium was positively associated with number of PDLCs. CONCLUSION: The lighter the surface roughness is, the more the early attachment of PDLCs is, benefiting for cell adhesion and proliferation.

Objective To investigate mortality risk factors in patients with severe cardiorenal syndrome treated with continuous hemofiltration therapy. So we can optimally select patients who may benefit more from this therapy. Methods The clinical data of 68 severe cardiorenal syndrome patients admitted to the ICU of Beijing Shijitan Hospital from May 2012 to May 2015 were retrospectievly analyzed and evaluated. These patients were divided into two groups based on survival or death during hospitalization. Logistic regression analysis was employed to identify independent risk factors for death of patients with severe cardiorenal syndrome during ICU stay. Results There were 36 cases in the death group and 32 cases in the survival group. In the death group, the age,mechanical ventilation rates, vasoactive drug application rates, leukocytes, neutrophils, C-reactive protein,left ventricular end-diastolic diameter and left ventricular end-systolic diameter were significantly higher than those in the survival group,while hemoglobin, serum creatinine, left ventricular ejection fraction, average single amount of dehydration in continuous hemofiltration process were significantly lower than those in the survival group. Logistic regression analysis showed that age, vasoactive drug application rates, APACHEⅡscore and leukocytes were independent risk factors of mortality. Conclusions Cardiac function, mechanical ventilation therapy, average single amount of dehydration in continuous hemofiltration, hemoglobin, C-reactive protein were closely related to the prognosis of severe cardiorenal syndrome patients. The patient′s age,infection, vasoactive drug application, APACHEⅡ score were important risk factors of mortality during hospitalization.
