Journal of Third Military Medical University 2003;0(10):-
Objective To investigate the effects of pulsed electromagnetic fields(PEMF)on the bone mineral density(BMD)and serum level of transforming growth factor-beta 1(TGF-?1)in the disuse osteoporosis(DOP)rats.Methods Eighty 4-month-old female SD rats were randomly divided into 4 matched groups according to their weight:control group(INT group),DOP group,calcitonin group(CT group)and PEMF group.Rats in INT group were raised with the average amount of food consumed by the DOP rats.Right hindlimbs of rats in DOP,CT and PEMF groups were immobilized by tibia-tail fixation to establish DOP model as Zarzhevsky described.Rats in CT group were injected with calcitonin(2 IU/kg,i.p,once a day),and rats in group PEMF were irradiated with PEMF(8 Gs,15 Hz,a pulse time of 8 ms)immediately after operation.The rats(5 animals per time of each group)were killed at 1,2,4 and 8 weeks after operation and their right hindlimbs were resected.The BMD and serum TGF-?1 concentration were measured with a dual energy X-ray bone densitometer and ELISA respectively.Results Significant difference was observed in the femur proximal BMD between rats with right hindlimb immobilization(DOP group)and INT group 2 weeks later(P

Chinese Journal of Nosocomiology 2005;0(11):-
OBJECTIVE To give an overview of our hospital′s actual infection situation and to draw attention to infection control,thus improving the weaknesses. METHODS With a method of transversal section,choosing the day of Jun 14 2005,we investigated all this day′s hospitalized patients. RESULTS The result was that the infection rate was 6.6%,mostly contributed by the lower respiratory infection. CONCLUSIONS The incidence of nosocomial infection is connected with following factors such as hospitalized time,age,surrounding contamination,and the long time usage of antibiotics.

Ischemic cerebrovascular disease may result in severe neurological deficits, and even death. Rho kinase is an important downstream substrate of Rho protein. It involves in multiple biological effects, including vascular smooth muscle contraction, cell migration, inflammatory cell infiltration and vascular endothelial dysfunction. It plays important roles in the processes of the occurrence, development and expansion of infarct volume in ischemic cerebrovascular disease. Rho kinase inhibitor can effectively relax vascular spasm, reduce local inflammatory response, protect endothelial function, increase blood flow in ischemic region, reduce infarct volume, and improve neurological function.

Although the treatment of aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) has made considerable progress in recent years,its mortality and disability have not been effectively controlled.Ischemic brain injury after SAH is considered to be an important reason for the poor prognosis of patients; however,its mechanism is still not fully understood.Studies have shown that the cerebral microcirculation disturbance after SAH is closely associated with ischemic brain injury.This article reviews the advances in research on cerebral microcirculation disturbance and ischemic brain injury after SAH.

Objective To compare the effect of silica-extraction method and Silico membrane based method in DNA purification from bones and teeth.Methods DNA samples were purified respectively with the silica-extraction method and MinElute PCR Purification kit from 6 bones and 8 teeth,then tested STR types by GlobalFiler? kits. And evaluated the two methods with the success rate and the peak height. Results Both of the two purification methods can successfully obtain the STR markers of the 14 samples. And there was no statistical difference between the two methods in the average peak height from bones and teeth. Conclusion The Silico membrane based method which have more advantages in operation is an efficient method to purify DNA from bones and teeth, and there is no significant difference compared with the silica-extraction method. But the cost is higher. It can be selectively used in forensic practice.

Objective To investigate the effect of abnormal lipid metabolism in the pathogenesis of preeclampsia.Methods Thirty women with severe preeclampsia who delivered by cesarean section in the International Peace Maternity & Child Health Hospital from November 1,2011 to June 30,2012,were included as the study group.Thirty normal pregnant women delivered during the same period by cesarean section were included as the control group.The mRNA levels of lipoprotein lipase (LPL) and endothelial lipase (EL) in the placentas were quantified by real-time polymerase chain reaction.The expression of LPL/EL protein was detected by Western-blot assay and the distribution on the placenta was determined by immunohistochemical staining.The maternal serum level of lipid markers was detected by automatic biochemical analyzer.Difference between the two groups was compared with t-test or rank-sum test.Results (1) The triglyceride (TG) concentration [(3.35±0.80) mmol/L vs (2.75± 0.92) mmol/L,t =3.082,P=0.003] and atherosclerosis index (AI) (2.76±0.46 vs 2.47±0.34,t=3.066,P=0.003) increased in the study group compared with the control group,while the concentration of high-density lipoprotein-cholestrol (HDL-c) decreased[(1.64 ± 0.34) mmol/L vs (1.85 ± 0.22) mmol/L,t=-3.157,P =0.003].(2) The median level of LPL mRNA expression in placenta of the study group was higher than that of the control [1.26 (0.46-1.58) vs 0.52 (0.34-0.84),Z=-2.587,P=0.010],whereas the expression of EL mRNA was lower [0.65 (0.48-0.76) vs 1.32 (0.94-1.62),Z=-4.154,P=0.000].(3) Immunohistochemical analysis showed that the placenta EL and LPL located in cytoplasm of syncytiotrophoblast cells at the materno-placental interface and of endothelial cells at the feto-placental interface.(4) Compared with the control group,the median level of LPL protein expression in placenta inthe study group increased [0.68(0.46-0.83) vs 0.31(0.15-0.55),Z=3.335,P=0.001],and the expression of EL protein decreased [0.13 (0.11 0.16) vs 0.70(0.56 0.81),Z=-5.711,P=0.000].The expression of LPL protein was negatively correlated with that of EL protein (r=-0.501,P=0.000).Conclusions Abnormal lipid metabolism contributes to the pathogenesis of severe preeclampsia.
