Objective To establish a cell line with repressed expression of p53 by transfecting a plasmid construct expressing short hairpin RNA(shRNA)targeting p53 into human skin fibroblasts(HSFs),and to evaluate the effect of repression of p53 expression on the senescence in HSFs.Methods The eukaryotic expressing plasmid pGCsi-p53 containing shRNA targeting p53 gene was transfected into HSFs with lipofectamine.Subsequently,the cells were selected by G418,and resistant cell clones were chosen and expanded.Reverse transcription-PCR and real time fluorescence-based quanitative PCR were performed to determine the expression of p53 gene,and Western blot to detect the expression of p53 protein in HSFs.The senescence in HSFs was evaluated by SA β-gal staining,and cell proliferation by methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT)assay.Results A HSF clone with repressed expression of p53 was established successfully.The expressions of p53 mRNA and protein were downregulated in transfected HSFs compared with untransfected HSFs(0.09 ± 0.03 vs.0.32 ± 0.04,0.11 ± 0.04 vs.0.84 ± 0.05,both P < 0.01).The percentage of senescent cells was 13.47% ± 1.01% in the transfected HSFs,significantly lower than that in untransfected HSFs(18.10% ± 0.66%,P < 0.05).As MTT assay showed,the proliferation was accelerated in transfected HSFs compared with untransfected HSFs(P < 0.05).Conclusions The repression of p53 expression decelerates the senescence in HSFs,but promotes the proliferation of HSFs.

Objective To evaluate the effect of RNA interference in p53 gene on the expressions of genes involved in ultraviolet B (UVB)-induced premature senescence and photocarcinogenesis in human skin fibroblasts (HSFs).Methods A previously established HSF cell clone with repressed expression of p53,which was named as HSF-p53,was cultured and irradiated with a subcytotoxic dose (10 mJ/cm2) of UVB once a day for five consecutive days.The HSFs with normal expression of p53 served as the control.Subsequently,β-galactosidase (SA-β-gal)-staining was performed to estimate the degree of senescence,quantitative real-time PCR array was performed to determine the mRNA expressions of photocarcinogenesis-and senescence-associated genes,including p53,p21,p19,p16,pRb,fibronectin,osteonectin,smooth muscle 22 (SM22),bax,bcl-2,hypoxia-inducible factor-1 α (HIF-1α),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF),and human double minute-2 (hdm2).Statistical analysis was carried out by Student's t test using the software SPSS 10.0.Results The percentage of SA-β-gal-positive cells in irradiated HSF-p53 was 19.70% ± 0.85%,significantly higher than that in unirradiated HSF-p53 (12.77% ± 0.81%,t =6.45,P < 0.05),but lower than that in irradiated control HSFs (50.48% ± 5.30%,t =7.86,P < 0.05),and similar to that in unirradiated control HSFs (18.50% ± 0.45%,t =2.57,P > 0.05).Compared with the control HSFs,the HSF-p53 showed decreased expressions of p21,p19,fibronectin,osteonectin,SM22 and bax genes (all P < 0.05),but increased expressions of bcl-2,HIF-1α,VEGF and hdm2 genes (all P < 0.05),and a similar expression of p16 gene (P > 0.05); the repeated UVB radiation significantly promoted the expressions of p16 and pRb genes (both P < 0.05),but had no obvious effect on the expressions of the other genes in HSF-p53 compared with unirradiated HSF-p53 (all P > 0.05).Conclusions The inhibition of p53 expression may decelerate the UVB-induced premature senescence in HSFs,which may be involved in the p53-dependent tumor suppression.

Objective To determine the median effective doae (ED50) for motor block after intrathecal ropivacaine and bupivacaine. Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients, aged 18-64, weighing 46-75 kg, undergoing elective urological surgery under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia, were randomized into 2 groups ( n = 30each) receiving intrathecal 0.5% ropivacaine and 0.5% bupivacaine respectively. The ED50 was determined by up-down sequential allocation. The initial dose was 4 mg. Each time the dose increased/decreased by 1 mg. Efficacy was determined by the occurrence of any motor block in either lower extremity (modified Bromage scale > 0)within 5 or 10 min after the spinal injection. Results The intrathecal ED50 for motor block was 6.68 mg for ropivacaine (95% confidence interval 6.27-7.13 mg) and 4.07 mg for bupivacaine (95% confidence interval 3.56-4.47mg) . The relative motor blocking potency ratio was ropivacaine/bupivacaine 0.61. Conclusion The potency of intrathecal ropivacaine is lower than that of bupivacaine for motor block.

Objective To investigate the etiology, epidemiologic features and drug resistance tendency of acute infectious diarrhea among children in Beijing area. Methods Enteric pathogenic bacteria were isolated, cultured and identified for serotype from the stool specimens of children with the initial clinical diagnosis of acute bacterial diarrhea in the intestinal clinic from January to October in 2009 ,and the antibiotic susceptibility of bacteria was tested by disk diffusion method. The cluster A rotavirus antigen was also detected by the qualitative technique of immunochromatographic double-antibody sandwich assay. Results Of the 256 stool specimens, 87 strains of 4 species of pathogenic bacteria were detected with the detectable rate of 34. 0% ,of which 2 strains were detected in one stool sample ,including 40 strains of salmonella (46. 0%) ,23 strains of shigella (26. 4%) ,2 strains of diarrheogenic escherichia coli (2. 3%) and 22 strains of staphylococcus aureus (25.3%). The positively detected patients consisted of 54 males and 32 females with the ratio of 1.69∶1 ,of whom 55 cases (64. 0%) were under 2 years of age. Of the 13 strains of shigella, 13 were sonnei shigella (56. 5%). And of the 22 strains of staphylococcus aureus,20 were detected among the infants under 1 year of age. The rates of crug resistance to certain antibiotics were lower in salmonella than in shigella (ampicillin :65. 0% vs. 95.7% ;compound sulfamethoxazole:20. 0% vs. 78. 3% ;ciprofloxacin:7.5% vs.8. 7% ;ceftriaxone: 15.0% vs. 73.9%). Of the 256 stool specimens ,47 were found positive for cluster A rotavirus,of whom 13 were also positive in stool bacteria culture. Conclusion Salmonella is the major pathogen among children with bacterial diarrhea in Beijing in 2009, and sonnei shigella is the main epidemic strains of shigella diarrhea. lnfants under 2 years of age are the susceptible population of the above two species of bacteria, while staphylococcus aureus mainly infect the infants under 1 years of age. Multi-resistance in shigella is still serious. The incidence of mixed infections of bacteria and rotavirus increases in children with infectious diarrhea.

Objective To explore the effect and mechanism of preventing ankle instability through exer-cise, so as to provide evidence-based references for practice. Methods The randomized and controlled trials ( RCT) on preventing ankle instability through exercise published before December 2014 were searched for in the NCBI, CNKI, VIP and Wanfang databases by computer, supplemented by manual searching. Each study′s quality was evaluated according to the standards of the Cochrane handbook by 3 researchers. The outcome indexes were ex-tracted and analyzed using RevMan 5.2 software. Results After the initial selection, 665 papers (357 in English and 308 in Chinese) were retained. From these 92 were chosen after reading the titles and abstracts. Ultimately, 14 RCT studies ( 12 in English and 2 in Chinese) met the inclusion criteria. They showed that exercise improved ankle function and symptoms of ankle instability significantly [SMD=0.98, 95%CI (0.65,1.31), P≤0.01], improved muscle strength [SMD=1.50, 95%CI (0.99,2.01), P≤0.01], improved balance and postural stability [SMD=-0.54, 95%CI (-0.84,-0.25) ,P≤0.01] , but did not improve proprioception or neuromuscular functioning sig-nificantly. Conclusions Exercise can effectively improve muscle strength, balance and postural stability, but not proprioception or neuromuscular functioning. The details of these findings may be related to the exercise intervention chosen.
