Objective:To understand the awareness of students of medical colleges sperm behavior, attitudes and prac-tical factors. Methods:Used convenient sampling method to select 300 college students of 4 medical colleges in Shanghai conducted a questionnaire survey and used Epidata 3. 1 and SPSS 18. 0 to count and analyse. Results: 251 question-naires. 39. 8% of respondents were willing to sperm, the primary reason was considered to be an act of charity, helping others;willing sperm donors only distributed among schools statistically significant (P<0. 05) proportions, and for the various professional and grades , showed no significant difference ( P>0 . 05 ) . Conclusion:Students of Shanghai Medical Colleges sperm voluntary rate was not high, so the survey analyzed related factors affecting sperm donation and put forward practical proposals to provide reference data and methods for sperm bank sperm recruiting for volunteers in the universities.

Objective To investigate the effects of peritoneal injection of cobaltic protoporphyrin Ⅸ chloride(CoPP)to induce heme oxygenase-1(Ho-1)upregulation in rat islet cells.Mthods Forty rats were divided into 5 groups by management 24 h before islets isolation:group A received inlzaporitoneal injection with 2.5 ms/ks CoPP,group B with 5 ms/ks CoPP,group C with 7.5 ms/kg CoPP,and group D with 10 mg/kg CoPP.In control group NS was used instead.A modified Goth approach was used for islet isolation.the yield and purity of the islets were assessed.The expression of Ho-1 mRNA and protein were detected by real time-PCR and Western blotting respectively.Islet function was tested by glucose stimulation test.Result Severe damage was found in tlle rats in group C and D.There was no difference in islet yield and purity for group A、B、C and control(P>0.05).Group B had the highest Ho-1 mRNA and protein expression among the 4 groups.Though there was no difference in insulin secretion by low glucose challenge for group A、B and control's islets(P>0.05),when challenged by hish level of glucose,significant deviation was observed.The imulin secretion level was(172.37±16.4)、(187.68±19.93)and(91.25±Conclusion Peritoneal iajection of 5 mg/kg CoPP can significantly enhance the expression of Ho-1 mRNA and protein in tat islet safely and enhance the function of islet when challenged by hish concentration of glucose.

Objective To analyze the protection supplied by HSCs in vivo after islet cells homotransplantation. Method Diabetic mice were randomly divided into three groups as diabetic group,islet-transplant group and co-transplant group. 300 islets alone or mixed with HSCs were transplanted under the capsule of the kidney of the diabetic recipients respectively. Blood glucose and the length of normal blood glucose level were recorded and we collected the blood and tissue of islet graft 7 days after transplantation in each group. Blood concentration of TGF-β, TNF-α, IL-1β and IFN-γ were detected by ELISA. The infiltration of lymphocytes was observed by HE staining and immunohistochemieal examination.Result Co-transplant group had a prolonged islet allograft survival for (23.75 ± 8. 96) days, compared with the islet alone of (11.9 ± 6. 92) days. Blood concentration of TGF-β in co-transplant group was (2292.31 ± 5.87) pg/ml, significantly higher than those in simple transplant group (1246.55 ±38.91) pg/ml(P <0.05), there was no differentence in the two groups for TNF-α,IL-1β and IFN-γ.Conclusion HSCs may prolong the islet graft survival by expressing higher level of TGF-β and form a capsule around the graft.

Objective To investigate the application value of extracorporeal extended field radiotherapy in locally advanced cervical cancer. Methods A total of one hundred and twenty patients with stage IIB?IVA cervical cancer in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from June 2012 to June 2014 were randomly divided into two groups:the control group and the observation group,each with 60 cases. The routine concurrent chemoradiotherapy was adopted in the control group. The observation group was treated with extracorporeal extended field radiotherapy combined with concurrent chemotherapy. The patients have been followed up for three years. The total efficacy rate,toxicity reaction,local progression free survival time ( PFS) and survival rate of the two groups were compared. Results The total efficacy rate in the observation group was significantly higher than that of the control group ( 88. 3%( 53/60 ) vs. 73. 3%( 44/60 ) , χ2 = 4. 357, P=0. 037),while the incidences of toxicity reaction in the two groups were 18. 3%(11/60) and 16. 7%(10/60), the difference was not statistically significant (χ2=0. 058,P=0. 810) ,the percentages of I and II degree in the two groups were 3. 4%( 2/60 ) and 3. 4%( 2/60 ) , the difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (Z=0. 000,P=1. 000). The PFS value in the observation group was significantly longer than that of the control group ( 25. 6 months vs. 13. 8 months,χ2 = 25. 624, P= 0. 000 ) , and the survival rate in the observation group improved significantly ( 53. 3%( 32/60 ) vs. 33. 3%( 20/60 ) , the difference was statistically significant (χ2 = 4. 887, P= 0. 027 ) . Conclusion Extracorporeal extended field radiotherapy is safe and effective in the treatment of locally advanced cervical cancer.

Objective To evaluate the applied value of functional immunity measured by the ImmunKnow assay in the diagnosis of post-transplant infection in Chinese 1iver recipients.Methods Thirty-eight normal adults and 68 adult liver transplant recipients were under investigation.Whole blood samples from either normal volunteers(each sample for one person)or the liver recipients(one or more samples for one person)were collected freshly and cultured within 6h.The CD4+T cells were selected and their ATP value was assayed the next day.The liver recipients were grouped in stable status(n=52)or infection(n=64)according tO their clinieal manifestation.Results The average ATP value in the recipients with infection after liver transplantation was 165.7±100 μg/L,significantly lower(P<0.05)than that in stable recipients(309±126 μg/L)or normal volunteers (292±83 μg/L).The low ATP levels in post-transplant recipients had fair good correlation to infection clinically(RR=0.5021,P<0.01).Infectious risk was high when ATP value was less than 165μg/L(OR=11,95%CI 3.9-32.2,P<0.01).Specificity and sensitivity of low ATP value in post-transplant infection were 86.53%and 73.81% respectively,Conclusion ImmuKnow assay provides a new tool in monitoring immune status in post-transplant recipients,and call helpfully predict and diagnose clinical infection.

Objective To investigate the expression of tumor suppressor gene p16~(INK4A) in mouse endometrium during the estrus cycle and early pregnancy and its possible role in blastocyst implantation. Methods Reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) was used to detect the expression of p16~(INK4A) mRNA,immunohistochemistry and Western blotting were applied to detect p16~(INK4A) protein in mouse endometrium tissues during the estrus cycle and early pregnancy. Results The intensity of p16~(INK4A) mRNA expression in mouse early pregnancy was higher than that in the estrus cycle.Compared with the other 3 stages, the level of p16~(INK4A) mRNA expression at estrus was obviously higher. During the early pregnancy, the level of p16~(INK4A) mRNA expression increased steadily from day 2 to day 5,reaching the maximal level on day 5,then decreasing. Both immunohistochemical and Western blotting analysis showed the same results in expression patterns of p16~(INK4A) protein for mouse endometrium tissues as those results of RT-PCR.Conclusion p16~(INK4A) is involved in the embryos penetrating into the endometrial barrier.
