Aim To investigate the angiogenic promoting effect of Morinda officinalis How oligosaccharides(MOO) in the ischemic myocardium of rats after acute myocardial infarction(AMI).Methods 40 male Wistar rats were established into AMI model successfully and were randomly divided into 5 groups equally, i. e. the low, medium and high doses of MOO groups, the Shexiangbaoxin group and the model group. They were treated with different doses of the water fraction of the ethanolic extract of Radix morinda officinalis (0.7, 1.4, 2.8 mg·kg~(-1) ·d~(-1)), suspension liquid of Shexiangbaoxin Pill(30 mg·kg~(-1) ·d~(-1)) and distilled water with the same volume respectively.Besides, a sham operated group with 10 rats was set up for control. All rats were sacrificed after 6-week-treatment.The Ⅷ coagulation factor, vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF) and basic fibroblast growth factor(bFGF) protein in ischemic myocardium of rats in each group were detected by immunohistochemistry assay.The microvessel density(MVD) was calculated. Gray values of protein expression of VEGF and bFGF in ischemic myocardium were calculated and analyzed by image analysis system.Results The MVD, the gray values of VGF and bFGF were higher in the medium and high doses of MOO groups than those in the model group(P <0.05), but still lower than those in the Shexiangbaoxin group(P <0.05). The MVD and the gray values of VEGF among 3 doses of MOO groups showed significant differences (P <0.05).Significant differences of gray value of bFGF were observed between small and middle doses of MOO groups, also between small and large doses of groups(P <0.05).Conclusion MOO can obviously promote angiogenesis in the ischemic myocardium of the rats after AMI.And up-regulating expressions of VEGF and bFGF protein in the ischemic myocardium may act as one of its angiogenic promoting mechanisms.

Objective To analyze the complete genome sequence of a Shenzhen coxsackievirus A2 strain CVA2-SHZH13-01 and its evolution.Methods RT-PCR was used to amplify the complete genome of CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain.The PCR products were purified and sequenced to analyze their genetic character-istics.Results The complete genome of CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain was 7400 bp in length, encoding 2191 amino acids.CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain was highly similar with the novel recombinant CVA2-HK (431306) strain isolated from Hong Kong sharing the nucleotide homology of 98.3%, 98.8%, 99.0%, 99.2%, 98.8%and 98.9%in 5′UTR, P1 ( VP1 to VP4) , P2, P3, 3′UTR regions and complete genome, respec-tively.CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain was highly identical to the international standard strain CVA2-Fleetwood showing the homology of 81.6% in nucleotide sequences in P1 region, but closely associated with EV71-SHZH03 and EV71-GD2009 strains (82.8%-88.7%) in P2 and P3 regions.The phylogenetic analysis in-dicated that CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain belonged to the CVA2-HK (431306) variant.Data from analysis of amino acid in P1 region showed that there were three amino acid mutations in CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain including aa5L→F, aa666S→G and aa671T→I as compared with CVA2-HK (431306) strain.Conclusion CVA2-SHZH13-01 strain belonged to CVA2-HK (431306) variant.

To identify the genotype and analyze the molecular characteristics of dengue virus strain SZ0524 isolated from serum samples of patients with early stage of dengue fever in Shenzhen in 2005 so as to explore its possible origin. The C6/36 cell line was cultivated with virus strain SZ0524 and its suspension was harvested. The type of isolated virus strain was determined by RT-semi-nested PCR and fluorescent PCR. E gene of isolated virus strain was amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced. Homology and phylogenetic tree of E gene of this dengue virus with the strains isolated from other areas were constructed. This SZ0524 strain was further identified by fluorescent PCR, and confirmed to be the type 4 virus after obtaining the 392bp band with type 4 specific primers. The homology of nucleotide sequence of E gene of SZ0524 strain with the standard type 4 dengue virus H241 strain were 99.7%, but the homology with the standard dengue virus 1,2,3 in the same fragment were 57.0%, 59.2% and 56.2% respectively. Analysis of the phylogenetic tree indicated that SZ0524 was more close to D4-73NIID and D4-61NIID strain, next to H241 strain, and they lied in the same branch of phylogenetic tree. The isolated dengue virus type 4 belonged to genotype Ⅰand the SZ0524 strain was proved to be dengue virus type 4 in the molecular level. Combined with epidemiology information, it is suggested that this case can be classified as an imported case and the SZ0524 strain may be transferred from the southeast asian region.

Objective To determine the serum levels of macrophage migration inhibition factor (MIF) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in patients with vitiligo,and to investigate their clinical significance.Methods The serum concentrations of MIF and TNF-α were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and radioimmunoassay respectively in 66 patients with vitiligo and 30 healthy controls.Results The patients with vitiligo vulgaris showed a significant higher serum level of MIF and TNF-α compared with the healthy controls ((9.56 ± 1.65) vs.(5.18 ± 0.81 ) μg/L,(2.38 ± 0.37) vs.(1.78 ± 0.21 ) μg/L,both P ＜ 0.01 ).There was a positive correlation between the serum level of MIF and TNF-α (r =0.89,P ＜ 0.05).No statistical difference was observed in the serum levels of MIF or TNF-α between the healthy controls and patients with segmental vitiligo (both P ＞ 0.05).The serum level of MIF was significantly higher in patients with progressive vitiligo than in those with stable vitiligo (P ＜ 0.01 ).Conclusions MIF and TNF-α might play a certain role in the pathogenesis of vitiligo,and MIF may be related to the activity of vitiligo vulgaris.

Thirty four residents of general practice and 11 students of junior college to undergraduate program were evaluated with the mini-clinical evaluation exercise (mini-CEX) when they were rotated to community clinics or the ward of general practice in Zhongshan Hospital from September 2009 to February 2010. The reliability and validity of mini-CEX for rotation examination in general practice training was assessed. Forty five trainees and 9 clinical faculty members completed 81 mini-CEX evaluations. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0. 932. Criterion-related validity for mini-CEX overall competence with the end examination of rotation was O.53 ( P ＜ 0.001 ). The results indicate that mini-CEX may be an appropriate evaluation tool for rotation examination in general practice training.
