There is a variety of gut microbiota in human body, which is closely associated with the health and disease. Normal gut microbiota can produce colonization resistance to pathogens. Antibiotics can affect the composition of gut microbiota and change the intestinal microenvironment, resulting in intestinal microecological disorders, which in turn cause intestinal pathogenic infections and other diseases. In this paper, the concept of intestinal microecology, the mechanism of intestinal colonization resistance, the effect of antibiotics on intestinal microecology, and the treatment methods were reviewed, aiming to provide the information for the rational use of antibiotics and the development of more effective treatment methods to maintain the stability of intestinal microecology.

ObjectiveTo discuss the experimental method and the mechanisms on treating diseases by acupuncturing the ST36(Zusanli).MethodsUsing Positron Emission Tomography(PET) and functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging(fMRI) to obtain the experimental data about glycometabolism and cerebral blood stream,using SPM and ROI image-analytical method to obtain the visual experimental evidence when acupuncturing the ST36. ResultsThere are certain increases of glycometabolism and cerebral blood stream in ipsilateral hypothalamus and bilateral temporal lobe, when acupuncturing the ST36. Conclusions Acupuncturing the ST36 can lead to the functional changes in vegetative nerve center and temporal lobe, which is close correlated with the therapeutical effects of ST36.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effects of Jiangu granule containing serum (JGG-serum) on the cyclins in rat's osteoblast at G1 phase.
METHODSOsteoblasts isolated by enzymatic digestion from SD rats were cultured and intervened with JGG-serum or normal saline (as control) respectively. Cell generation cycle was detected by flow cytometry, and expressions of Cyclin D1, cyclin-dependent kinase 4 (CDK4), oncogene protein (P21) in the osteoblast were detected dynamically using immuno-cytochemical and RT-PCR technique.
RESULTSAs compared with the control, the cell generation cycle and cell proliferation were proceeding quicker in the JGG-serum (20%) intervention group; with higher protein and mRNA expressions of Cyclin D1 and CDK4, as well as much lowered expressions of P21 in nuclei of osteoblast detected at all time points (24 h, 48 h and 72 h after treatment, P < 0.05 or P < 0.01).
CONCLUSIONJGG-serum can adjust the G1 phase cyclins in osteoblast cultured in vitro, increase the mRNA and protein expressions of Cyclin D1 and CDK4, and inhibit P21 expression, so as to accelerate the proliferation of osteoblast.

Objective To investigate whether porcine Sertoli cells eould resist xenoreactive antibodies mediated complement lysis. Methods Sertoli cells were isolated from testes of 10 to 15 day-old landrace pigs. Α-Gal expression on Sertoli cells was measured by FACS and cytoimmunofluorescence. The binding of human se-rum IgG and IgM with Sertoli cells was assayed by FACS. After the incubation of the cultured Sertoli cells with 20% human B serum in vitro, the cellular lysis and cytotoxicity assay were detected with CytoTox-ONETM homogeneous membrane integrity assay and MTT method, and then activation of the complement cascade was examined by immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence. The SV40-porcine endothelium cells line (SV40-PED) was served as control cells. Results α-Gal expression was found on Sertoli cells by FACS and cytoimmunofluorescence. After incubation with 20% human serum, cellular lysis ratio of the SV40-PED was 53. 13% ± 14.53%, while lysis ratio of the Sertoli cells was significantly lower (24.38% ±0.50%, P<0.01), the viability of Sertoli cells and SV40-PED were 98.73% ± 18.84% and 52.43% ± 8.08%, respectively. With immunohistochemistry and immunofluorescence, C3c and C4d were found binding on both the Sertoli cells and SV40-PED cells, however, C5b-9 was only detected on SV40-PED cells. Conclusion In vitro, compared with the SV40-PED, Sertoli cells could resist xenoreactive antibodies of human serum mediated complement lysis by preventing the C5b-9 formation.

Objective The detection of malignant lymphoma with invasion in liver and spleen using PET/CT has not been well documented in the literature. This study aimed to investigate the usefulness of PET/CT in this regard and to compare it with plain CT. Methods Forty-one pathologically confirmed malignant lymphoma patients with liver and spleen invasion were recruited into this study. Among all patients, there were 38 non-Hodgkin's lymphoma (NHL), 2 Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) and 1 gastric mucosa associated lymphoma. PET/CT imaging was recorded 1h after injection of 296~444 MBq 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG). Results (1) There were 30(30/41) patients with liver invasion, including hepatic nodules, mass and portal nodes. The mass was large to invade surrounding liver parenchyma. (2) There were 23(23/41) patients with spleen invasion. The spleen was enlarged and demonstrated diffused hyper-metabolism. (3) Other invasion included: lung (n=13), cortical bone and marrow (n=12), stomach (n=9), pleural (n=6), and subcutaneous soft tissue (n=5) and so on. Conclusion PET/CT could accurately diagnose the invasion in liver and spleen of malignant lymphoma, which was of potential role on the diagnosis and staging of lymphoma.

Objective To establish the method for isolation and culture of porcine Sertoli cell sand detect the expression of the immune privilege-related molecules in the cultured cells. MethodsTestes were aseptically removed from the 10-to 15-days old Large White piglets. Testes were decap-sulated, minced and then digested with 0.2% (W/V) collagenase type V, 0.25% (W/V) trypsin and 0.05% (W/V) DNaseI. In the primary isolation, Sertoli cells were cultured at 37℃with 5% CO2.Inverted phase contrast microscopy and HE staining were used to observe the morphology of Sertoliceils, and the Sertoli cells were identified under an electron microscope. Viability and apoptosis ofcultured cells were measured with the AnnexinV-PI staining by flow cytometry. The expression of sox9, FasL, TGF-β and clusterin in Sertoli cells was detected by RT-PCR. The viability of long-termcultured Sertoli cells was assayed by MTT. Results In the cultured total cells, Sertoli cells accountedfor more than 90%. The apoptosis rate and mortality of Sertoli cells was (2.61±0.96)% and (2.12±0.74)% respectively. RT-PCR revealed that the expression of sox9, TGF-β and clusterin in theSertoli cells was strongly positive, but FasL was weakly positive. Viability of cultured cells measuredby MTT conformed that the sertloli cells could survive more than 21 days. Conclusion The isolationand culture methods of the neonatal porcine Sertoli cells was established. Under the culturedconditions, the Sertoli cells can express the immune privilege molecules and successfully survive at least 21 days.

Objective To observe the effect of splenectomy on mortality and brain water content of rats with brain injury so as to explore novel way for better clinical management of patients with severe traumatic brain injury. Methods Adult male SD rats were randomly divided into three groups, ie, sham operation on brain and spleen (Group A, n = 23), experimental brain trauma & sham operation on spleen (Group B, n =48) and experimental brain injury & splenectomy (Group C, n = 47). Modified Feeney' s method was used to create the animal model of experimental brain trauma, Longa' s scale was applied to evaluate the neurologic defect. Mortality within seven days following brain injury was calculat-ed. In the meantime, the brain water content was detected at days 1 (n = 8), 2 (n = 8), 3 (n = 8) and 7 (n = 7) after brain injury in each group, Results No statistical difference of Longs' s scale was found between Group B and Group C (P > 0.05). The mortalities within seven days after brain injury were 0%, 35.42 and 14.89% in Groups A, B and C respectively, with statistical difference between groups (P<0.05). The brain water content of Groups B and C at days 1, 2, 3 and 7 were (81.98±0.35)% & (81.78±0.41)%, (82.58±0.63)% & (81.81±0.48)% (P<0.05),(82.54±0.54)% & (81.52±0.84)% (P<0.05) and (81.50±0.41)% & (81.21±0.36)% (P>0.05) respectively. Conclusion Splenectomy can effectively reduce brain water content and significantly decrease mortality in rata with brain injury.
