OBJECTIVE To survey hepatitis B virus(HBV) contamination on hands of laboratory staffs and to evaluate the protection efficacy against HBV infection by wearing gloves.METHODS Samples from used gloves and gloves-protected hands were carried out according to the methods stipulated in the Technical Guidelines for Disinfection.All samples were divided into 3 groups:gloves worn for 1h,gloves worn for 3h and gloves-protected hands,each group had 202 cases.To detect HBsAg and HBV DNA by microparticle enzyme immunoassay(MEIA) and fluorescence quantitative polymerase chain reaction(FQ-PCR),respectively.RESULTS HBsAg polluted rates of gloves worn for 1h,gloves worn for 3h and gloves-protected hands were 22.77%,34.65% and 2.48%,respectively;HBV DNA polluted rates of gloves worn for 1h,gloves worn for 3h and gloves-protected hands were 27.72%,41.58% and 2.48%,respectively.The HBsAg and HBV DNA polluted rates of gloves worn for 3h were higher than those of gloves worn for 1h,the difference was significant between them(P

Objective To evaluate the role of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/antioxidant response element (ARE) singling pathway in reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by zinc sulfate preconditioning in rats.Methods SPF healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-280 g,aged 16-20 weeks,were used in this study.After the animals were anesthetized,their hearts were immediately removed and retrogradely perfused with an oxygenated K-H solution at 37 ℃ in a Langendorff apparatus.Forty isolated rat hearts were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10 each):control group (group C),I/R group,zinc sulfate preconditioning group (group Zn) and zinc sulfate preconditioning plus Nrf2/ARE singling pathway blocker luteolin group (group Zn+Lut).After 20 min of equilibration,the hearts were continuously perfused for 100 min in group C,the hearts were perfused with 4 ℃ St.Thomas′ cardioplegic solution before ischemia and then subjected to 40 min global ischemia followed by 60 min reperfusion to establish the model of I/R in group I/R,200 μmol/L zinc sulfate 1.5 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally,and 24 h later the model of I/R was established in group Zn,and in group Zn+Lut,the hearts were perfused for 3 min with K-H solution containing luteolin 50 μmol/L starting from the time point immediately before ischemia,and the other treatments were similar to those previously described in group Zn.Heart rate (HR),left ventricular end diabetic pressure (LVEDP),left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP) and the maximum rate of increase of left ventricular pressure (+dp/dtmax) were recorded at the end of equilibration and reperfusion.Coronary effluent was collected at the end of reperfusion to measure the levels of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) and malondialdehyde (MDA).The expression of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1),quinone oxidoreductase (NQO1),superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) and Nrf2 in myocardial tissues was detected by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,HR,+dp/dtmax and LVDP were significantly decreased,LVEDP was increased,and the levels of LDH and MDA in coronary effluent were increased at the end of reperfusion in I/R and Zn+Lut groups,and the expression of NQO1,HO-1,Nrf2 and SOD1 was up-regulated in I/R,Zn and Zn+Lut groups (P<0.05).Compared with group I/R,the HR,+dp/dtmax and LVDP were significantly increased,LVEDP was decreased,and the levels of LDH and MDA in coronary effluent were decreased at the end of reperfusion,and the expression of NQO1,HO-1,Nrf2 and SOD1 was up-regulated in group Zn (P<0.05).Compared with group Zn,HR,+dp/dtmax and LVDP were significantly decreased,LVEDP was increased,and the levels of LDH and MDA in coronary effluent were increased at the end of reperfusion,and the expression of NQO1,HO-1 and SOD1 was down-regulated(P<0.05),and no significant change was found in Nrf2 expression in group Zn+Lut (P>0.05).Conclusion The mechanism by which zinc sulfate preconditioning reduces myocardial I/R injury is related to activation of Nrf2/ARE singling pathway in rats.

Objective To establish and improve the acute hepatic failure model in pigs induced with D-galactosamine (D-gal),and explore the feasibility of evaluating preclinical artificial liver devices.Methods Nineteen Duroc breeding pigs were divided into 4 groups.Fifteen unanesthetic Duroc breeding pigs out of 19 (5 of each group) received intravenously administration of D-gal at a dose of 1.0,1.25 and 1.5 g/kg body weight,respectively.The remaining 4 pigs which received the same volume of 5% dextrose in water served as controls. Clinical data and survival time of pigs were recorded.Blood samples were collected for dynamic testing of plasma ammonia,prothrombin time,liver and renal functions,blood glucose and L-lactate;liver tissues were sampled for pathological examination.The differences between groups were compared using t test and F test.The survival time of pigs was compared by Kaplan-Meier survival analysis and Log Rank test.Results Twelve hours after administration of D-gal,all pigs presented as acute hepatic failure characterized by progressive increases of levels of plasma ammonia,aspartate aminotransferase (AST),total bilirubin (TBil) and L-lactate,the level of blood glucose marked decreased and prothrombin time prolonged (F= 32.33,F=27.817,F=50.097,F=88.382,F=8.211,F=21.227;all P＜0.01);especially in the pigs which received D-gal at a dose of 1.5 g/kg.Except 2 pigs survived for 168 h,the other 3 pigs which received D-gal at a dose of 1.0 g/kg died within 68-84 h,while all pigs which received D-gal at a dose of 1.25 and 1.5 g/kg died within 33-89 h and 23-47 h,respectively.All pigs presented coma before death and liver histopathological examination indicated massive hepatic necrosis with severe hemorrhage.Conclusions D-gal induced acute hepatic failure model in unanesthetic Duroc breeding pig appears potential reversibility and high reproducibility,which has proper therapeutic window.Thus,this model could be applied to evaluate the therapeutic effects and safety of artificial liver devices.

Objective To evaluate the feasibility of methylene blue as a method in lymphatic mapping and the effect factors of SLNB identification rate. Methods The results of SLNB in 276 patients with clinical stage T-T2N0M0 breast eaneer were analyzed to evaluate the effect factors of identification rate and false-neg-ative rate of SLNB. Results The identification of SLN was carried out using methylene blne . When the mapping time of SLN and lymphatic were controlled in 20～30 minutes, the SLN could be visualized easily. SLN was successfully identified in 246 of 276 patients (89.1%) ,423 SLNs were retrieved(1～4). The SLN accurately predicted the status of the axilla in 226 of 246 patients (77.3%) yielding a FNR(false negative rate)of 8.1% (20/246) ,false positive rate of0, and an accuracy of 91.9% (226/241). For the identified rate of SLN, the clinical stage of T2N0M0 disease was higher than the clinical stage of T1N0M0 disease (P=0.046,P<0.05), Upper outer quadrant and lower outer quadrant were higher than other evidently (P<0.0010). SLNs were easily retrieved in those cases aged above 50 years than below 50 years (P<0.001).In the view of false-negative rate of SLNB, the FNR rate in patients of 50 years old was less than older ones (P=0.037, P<0.05). No significant correlation was found between the stage of TMN, the expression of ER and PR, histologic status and FNR. Conclusion When SLNB was performed using methylene blue, we found age, clinical stage of TMN, the location of tumor had relationship with the identified rate of SLN. Ag-ing and location of tumor may adversely affect FNR of SLNB.

Objective To assess the changes of humidity and ammonia concentration in rat and mouse individually ventilated cages (IVC) based on macroenvironmental humidity and air ventilation changes .Methods Three kinds of rat and mouse IVC in barrier facilities were set as research objective .The changes of micronvironmental humidity and ammonia concentration at 40 times/h and 60 times /h air changes were detected continuously for a 7-days-cycle relative to low (40%), moderate (50%), and high (60%) macroenvironmental humidity.Results Mouse and rat IVC with 40 times /h air changes under low macroenvironmental humidity condition , mouse IVC with 40 times/h and rat IVC with 60 times/h air changes under moderate macroenvironmental humidity condition , mouse IVC with 60 times /h air changes under high macroenvironmental humidity condition , basically meet the GB14925-2010 requirements.While under macroenvironmental high humidity condition, the microenvironments of rat and mouse IVC with 60 times/h air changes could not satisfy the requirements.Conclusions The environmental humidity and ventilation frequency are the key index of IVC microenvironment.Only on the basis of external environment conditions to set up reasonable IVC ventilation frequency in order to better maintain the IVC microenvironment so that to achieve the goal of effective management .

OBJECTIVE: To compare the clinical efficacy and safety between percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) and percutaneous kyphoplasty (PKP) in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral compression fracture (OVCF) with intravertebral vacuum cleft (IVC). METHODS: Between January 2010 and December 2013, 68 patients with single OVCF and IVC were treated, and the clinical data were retrospectively analyzed. Of 68 patients, 48 underwent PVP (PVP group) and 20 underwent PKP (PKP group). There was no significant difference in age, gender, disease duration, fracture level, bone mineral density (BMD), visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry disability index (ODI), and preoperative radiological parameters between 2 groups (P>0.05). The intraoperative incidence of cement leakage, cement volume, and operative time were compared between 2 groups; VAS score was used for evaluation of back pain and ODI for evaluation of dysfunction; the incidence of adjacent vertebral fracture was observed within 2 years. The vertebral height and kyphotic angle were measured on X-ray films; the rate of vertebral compression (CR), reduction rate (RR), progressive height loss (PHL), reduction angle (RA), and progressive angle (PA) were calculated. RESULTS: There was no significant difference in cement volume and the incidence of cement leakage between 2 groups (P>0.05). The operative time in PVP group was shorter than that in PKP group, showing significant difference (t=-8.821, P=0.000). The mean follow-up time was 2.4 years (range, 2.0-3.1 years). The VAS scores and ODI were significantly reduced at 1 day, 1 year, and 2 years after operation when compared with preoperative scores (P<0.05), but there was no significant difference between different time points after operation in 2 groups (P>0.05). Adjacent vertebral fracture occurred in 5 cases (10.4%) of PVP group and in 2 cases (10.0%) of PKP group, showing no significant difference (χ2=0.003, P=0.963). BMD was significantly increased at 1 year and 2 years after operation when compared with preoperative BMD (P<0.05), but no significant difference was found between 2 groups (t=0.463, P=0.642; t=0.465, P=0.646). The X-ray films showed that CR and kyphotic angle were significantly restored at immediate after operation in 2 groups (P<0.05); but vertebral height and kyphotic angle gradually aggravated with time, showing significant difference between at immediate and at 1 and 2 years after operation (P<0.05); there was no significant difference in CR and kyphotic angle between 2 groups at each time point (P>0.05). RR, RA, PHL, and PA showed no significant difference between 2 groups (P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS: There is similar clinical and radiological efficacy between PVP and PKP for treatment of OVCF with IVC. Re-collapse could happen after operation, so strict observation and follow-up are needed.

Objective To evaluate the role of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2)/ antioxidant response element (ARE) signaling pathway in reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by ischemic preconditioning in the rats.Methods Healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 250-300 g,aged 4-6 months,were used in the study.Their hearts were excised,and retrogradely perfused with K-H solution at 37 ℃ in a Langendorff apparatus.Forty isolated hearts were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),I/R group,ischemic preconditioning group (group IPC),and ischemic preconditioning +Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway blocker luteolin group (group IPC+L).After 20 min of equilibration,the hearts were continuously perfused for 100 min in group C.After 20 min of equilibration,the hearts were subjected to 40 min ischemia at 32 ℃ followed by 60 min of reperfusion in group I/R.In group IPC,ischemic preconditioning was induced by 6 cycles of 10 s ischemia followed by 10 s reperfusion starting from the time point immediately after 20 min of equilibration,and then the hearts were subjected to 40 min ischemia at 32 ℃ followed by 58 min of reperfusion.In group IPC+L,after 20 min of equilibration,the hearts were perfused with K-H solution containing lueolin 50 μmol/L for 3 min before ischemia,and the other treatments were similar to those previously described in group IPC.Left ventricular developed pressure (LVDP),left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVDEP),heart rate (HR),and the maximum rate of increase of left ventricular pressure (+dp/dtmax) were recorded at the end of equilibration and reperfusion.At the end of reperfusion,left ventricular myocardial tissues were obtained for examination of the ultrastructure of myocardial cells and for determination of the expression of Nrf2,heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1),quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1),and superoxide dismutase 1 (SOD1) mRNA and protein (by real-time polymerase chain reaction and Western blot,respectively).Results Compared with group C,the HR,+ dp/dtmax and LVDP were significantly decreased,and LVEDP was significantly increased at the end of reperfusion in I/R and IPC+L groups,and the expression of Nrf2,HO-1,NQO1 and SOD1 mRNA and protein was significantly up-regulated in I/R,IPC and IPC+L groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group I/R,the HR,+dp/dtmax and LVDP were significantly increased,and LVEDP was significantly decreased at the end of reperfusion,the expression of Nrf2,HO-1,NQO1 and SOD1 mRNA and protein was significantly up-regulated (P＜0.05),and the pathological changes were significantly attenuated in group IPC,and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in group IPC+L (P＞0.05).Compared with group IPC,the HR,+dp/dt and LVDP were significantly decreased,and LVEDP was significantly increased at the end of reperfusion,and the expression of HO-1,NQO1,SOD1 mRNA and protein was significantly down-regulated (P＜ 0.05),no significant change was found in Nrf2 mRNA and protein expression (P＞0.05),and the pathological changes were significantly aggravated in group IPC + L.Conclusion Ischemic preconditioning reduces myocardial I/R injury through activating Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway in the rats.

Objective To assess the histological characteristics of cervical cancer using intravoxel incoherent motion magnetic resonance imaging ( IVIMMRI) and to investigate the performance of IVIMMRI in evaluation of the efficacy of concurrent chemoradiotherapy in the treatment of intermediate/advanced cervical cancer. Methods Pelvic MRI scans, containing T2WI, IVIM (14 b values, b=0?1 000 s/mm2), and contrast?enhanced T1 scans were performed in 23 patients pathologically diagnosed with intermediate/advanced cervical cancer ( stage ≥Ⅱb ) before chemoradiotherapy, after two and four weeks of treatment, and at the end of treatment. The IVIMMRI data were processed with the bi?exponential model to generate three parameters, containing pure diffusion coefficient ( D ) , pseudodiffusion coefficient ( D?) , and perfusion fraction ( f ) . Apparent diffusion coefficient ( ADC ) was obtained using the mono?exponential model. The IVIMMRI parameters were measured at each time point and their dynamics and correlation were analyzed. Results The ADC, D, and f values were significantly higher after complete treatment ( 0?96 × 10-3 vs. 1?77 × 10-3 mm2/s, P=0?000;0?76 × 10-3 vs. 1.34± 0?12 × 10-3 mm2/s, P=0?000;0?14% vs. 0?24%, P=0?012). The above three values significantly increased after two weeks of treatment (all P=0?000) and kept increasing until the end of the treatment. In contrast, the D? value was reduced from the second week to the end of the treatment. Conclusions IVIMMRI can monitor the dynamic functional changes and early tumor responses during chemoradiotherapy for cervical cancer, which holds promise for clinical application.
