Objective To study the expression of MCP-1 in the diabetes mellitus skin defect healing, then discuss its effect. Methods The diabetes mellitus models were established, and the expression of MCP-1 was detected by immunohistochemical staining and Elisa. Results The immunohistochemistry stain showed that the expression of MCP-1 in DM group was higher than that in control group at all time. And the serum value of MCP-1 in DM group had statistical significance ( <0.05) at 3 days or 1 week, but that in 2 weeks and 4 weeks was no statistical significance ( <0.05) . Conclusion The MCP-1 might play a role in the healing of diabetes mellitus skin defect through mediate abnormal inflammatory response.

The major goal of microbial ecology is to study the structure and function of complex micro-bial communities. New molecular biological techniques have been successfully applied to analyze mi-crobial community structure. However they do not provide information on the physiologic properties of the detected microorganisms. A new tool for structure-function analyses in microbial ecology, micro-autoradiography combined with fluorescence in situ hybridization (MAR-FISH) can be used to simul-taneously examine the phylogenetic identity and the specific activity of microorganisms within a com-plex microbial community at a single-cell level. This article reviews the principle, experimental steps of MAR-FISH technique. The application of this technique in study of the environmental microbial com-munity and function is also summarized.

Objective To analyze the mutations in nucleotide sequences of transfusion transmitted virus(TTV) in neonatal infection.Methods Neonatal serum TTV-DNA was detected by a nested PCR technique.Fifteen Chinese neonates with positive TTV-DNA were diagnosed as TTV infection.ORF1 sequences of TTV-DNA from these neonates were determined.Results Homology of Chinese TTV(C01-C15) and Japanese TTV(N22)isolated ranged from 87.1%-97.7% at nucleotide level,but there were point mutations in Chinese TTV,such as GG→TT in locus 112 and 113,TTATC→CCTAT in locus 236-240.Conclusions Chinese and Japanese TTV isolated had the same genotype.Some gene mutations may increase the TTV pathogen,and result in neonatal hepatitis syndrome or hyperbilirubinemia.

Objective To predict the risk of acute myocardial infarction with 64-row CT and left ventricular function analysis.Methods Both 64-row CT coronary angiograhphy and 64-row CT left function in 289 patients were analysed. All the patients were divided into four groups according to the degree of stenosis of their coronary arteries. Mean left ventricular myocardial mass( LVMM ) , left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) and left ventricular end diastolic volume(LVEDV) of each group were calculated and compared with their clinical materials.Results LVMM, LVEDV as determined with 64-row corrected well with the occurrence of the myocardial ischemia proved by clinical evidence(r≈0.82,0.76),while LVEF showed a negative correction(r≈-0.74).Conclusion It is not accurate enough to predict the acute myocardial infarction with only the degree of narrow of the coronary artery. 64-row CT provides not only the degree of stenosis of the coronary artery , but also the functional features of the left ventricular as well. Both of them are of much importance to predict the risk of the acute myocardial infarction.

Objective To census the preoperative prevalence rate of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) and to evaluate the risk factors of DVT in senile osteoporotic hip fractured patients.Methods The object of study were patients aged 60 and above, and osteoporotic hip fracture by low energy injury in 2013.Based on medical records, all the patients with osteoporotic hip fracture were evaluated the signs and symptoms of DVT in 24 h, D-dimer test and underwent Doppler ultrasound screening of bilateral venous system in lower extremity after admission, and all the patients received preoperative prophylactic anticoagulation.Patients with popliteal and proximal level thrombus or floating thrombus underwent inferior vena cava (IVC) filter insertion.Outcome measures: age, gender, fracture type, D-dimer value in 24 h preoperatively, occurrence time of DVT and region, grade of preoperative American Society of Anesthesiologists, preoperative medical diseases.Results 702 of 946 hip fracture inpatients were comprised in this retrospective study.All were not founded any symptom or signs of DVT.All patients were took preoperative Doppler ultrasound screening and the results as follows: 36 of 302 patients (11.9％) with femoral neck fracture were proved preoperative thrombosis(13 male, 23 female), the average age was 72.7 year-old(range from 62-90 year-old), on the same side as the fractured hip in 31 patients, bilateral thrombosis in 5 patients.74 of 400 patients (18.5％) with intertrochanteric fracture were proved preoperative thrombosis(38 male, 36 female), the average age was 76 year-old (range from 60-95 year-old), on the same side as the fractured hip in 68 patients, bilateral thrombosis in 6 patients.The most prevalence rate of DVT were in the first day after osteoporotic hip fracture, 15 patients (41.7％) with femoral neck fracture and 38 patients (51.40％) with intertrochanteric fracture.There were more proximal level and multiple level involment thrombosis over 5 days after injury.The most thrombosis were proven at calf and popliteal vein.Conclusion The prophylaxis of DVT should be started even in the emergency department in senile patient with osteoporotic hip fracture.To avoid the risk factors, early surgery and early postoperative mobilization will be effective.

Objective To study the characteristics of mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs)derived from chronic myelogenous leukemia(CML)patients' bone marrow and examine their hematopoiesis support in vitro.Methods MSCs from CML were obtained and cultured.Immunophenotype and in vitro differentiation capacities were investigated.Moreover,the Ph chromosome and bcr/abl gene of CML derived MSCs were detected.The expression of cytokines was detected by RT-PCR,and hema- topoiesis support of MSCs in vitro was detected by long-term bone marrow culture and the methylcel- lulose progenitor assay.Results CML derived MSCs showed a typical fibroblast like morphology. They were positive for CD29,CD44 and CD105,while negative for CD14,CD31,CD45,CD34 and HLA-DR.Under suitable conditions,CML derived MSCs could differentiate into osteoblasts and adi- pocytes.Further,CML derived MSCs showed a normal choromosome,and did not express bcr/abl gene.At last,they expressed hematopoiesis cytokines and possessed ability of hematopoiesis support in vitro.Conclusion There are MSCs with multidirectional differentiation potential in CML bone mar- row and they possess the ability of hematopoiesis support.
