Objective To determine a possible role for Clara cell secretary protein(CCSP)during acute RSV infection.Method CCSP-deficient [CCSP (-/-)]and wild-type (WT) mice were intratracheally infected with RSV and the lung inflammatory response to RSV infection were assessed.Results RSV-F gene expression increased in the lungs of CCSP (-/-) mice compared to WT mice following RSV infection, consistent with increased viral persistence. Lung inflammation was significantly worsened in CCSP (-/-) mice compared to WT mice after RSV infection. Th2 cytokines and neutrophil chemokines increased in the lungs of CCSP (-/-) mice following RSV infection.Conclusion These findings suggest that lack of CCSP may promote the inflammatory and Th2 immune response to RSV infection.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of different pressure oxygen pre-breathing in preventing decompression sickness of rats.
METHODSForty male SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: decompression sickness (DCS) group and three oxygen pre-breathing groups with 1 ATA, 2 ATA and 3 ATA pressure respectively. The rats of DCS group were placed in the hyperbaric chamber and the chamber was compressed evenly within 3 minutes to depths of 7 absolute atmosphere(ATA) and held at the designated depth for 60 min, then decompressed (3 min) at constant speed to the surface pressure. After that, the rats were taken out for further detection. While the rats of oxygen pretreatment groups pre-breathed different pressure oxygen for 20 min before entering into chamber. The mortality and behavioral of rats were observed with 30 min post decompression. The dry/wet ratio of the lung, protein levels in the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF), and the inflammatory cytokine tumor necrosis factor (TNF-alpha) expression were also tested.
RESULTSCompared with that of the DCS group, the mortality and morbidity of oxygen pre-breathe groups didn't change obviously. But the total BALF protein level and the inflammatory cytokine TNF-alpha expression of 1 ATA oxygen pre-breathe group were obviously decreased, while the dry/wet ratio of lung as obviously increased instead (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONAlthough preoxygenation can' t obviously change the mortality and mobidity of rats, normal pressure oxygen pre-breathing can mitigate the protein infiltration in BALF and the expression of inflammatory cytokine in lung tissue.

OBJECTIVETo explore the change of electrocardiographic ischemic J wave in patients with coronary heart disease (CHD) underwent percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).
METHODSCHD patients (CHD, n = 162) underwent PCI in the hospital were divided into unstable angina pectoris (angina pectoris group, n = 108) and acute myocardial infarction group (AMI group, n = 54), 12-lead electrocardiogram was recorded within 24 hours before and after PCI. Patients were further grouped into left anterior descending artery group and right or circumflex coronary artery stenosis group. The incidence, amplitude and time course of J waves were measured and analyzed.
RESULTS(1) The highest incidence of J wave appeared in II, III, aVF leads pre- and post-PCI in CHD groups (33.95%, 22.84%, 26.54% and 30.86%, 19.75%, 23.46%). Higher incidence of J wave in AMI group was evidenced in V(5), II, aVF, III, V(3) leads before PCI (33.33%, 27.78%, 16.67%, 12.96%, 11.11%) and in V(5), II, aVF, aVL, III leads after PCI (22.22%, 22.22%, 14.81%, 12.96%, 9.26%). (2) Before PCI, higher incidence of J wave was found in V(5), V(6) leads (25.78%) in left anterior descending artery group and in II, III, aVF leads (35.37%) in right or circumflex coronary artery stenosis group. After PCI, the higher incidence of J wave in left anterior descending artery group and right or circumflex coronary artery stenosis group was evidenced in II, III, aVF leads (21.09% and 35.37%, respectively). (3) The ischemic J wave' amplitude and time course in II, III, aVF, V(3), V(4) leads were significantly reduced post PCI in CHD patients.
CONCLUSIONSHigher incidence of J wave was found in II, III, aVF in CHD patients. PCI is associated with reduced amplitude and time course of J wave suggesting PCI could improve ischemic J waves in CHD patients.

Objective To establish a novel TRFIA for the measurement of heparanase (HPA) in serum samples,and investigate its clinical application.Methods The micro-pore plate wells were first coated with partially recombinant murine anti-human HPA monoclonal antibody.Biotin-labeled recombinant HPA protein was then used to compete with HPA in serum samples,and the prepared europium (III)-labeled streptavidin (Eu3+-SA) was used as signal readout for establishing the BSA-TRFIA assay.Using this assay,the serum HPA levels in healthy subjects (n=32) and tumor patients (n=54) were measured.The results of BSA-TRFIA were compared with those of ELISA.Two-sample t test (or t' test),and linear correlation analysis were used to analyze the data.Results The sensitivity of BSA-TRFIA for measuring HPA was 0.33 ug/L.The CV values for intra-batch and inter-batch were 5.29% and 7.54%,respectively.The average recovery rate was 105.5%.The standard curve range was 0-1 000 ug/L.The serum HPA level measured by the BSA-TRFIA method in healthy subjects was (2.03_+ 1.47) Iug/L.In tumor patients,the HPA level was significantly higher:(22.13_+7.38) ug/L (t'=19.388,P

Objective To measure the proximal femoral parameters which can provide anatomic evidence for the design of internal fixation components for intertrochanteric fractures of femur.Methods Femoral speci- mens were harvested randomly from 120 healthy adult cadavers(left 60,fight 60).The neck shaft angle,greater trochanter slope length,tilt angle of greater trochanter,axial length of head and neck,lengths of upper and lower borders of the neck,and the minimum transverse diameter of the neck were measured.On the basis of the anatomic study,a two-claw plate was designed to treat 145 cases of femoral intertrochanteric fractures.Results The femoral neck shaft angle was 128.59??6.31?,femoral greater trochanter slope length was(5.5?0.58)cm,tilt angle of femoral greater trochanter was 42.76??5.20?,and axial length of head and neck was(9.42?0.38)cm. There was a correlation between the parameters.All the patients were followed up for a mean time of 23.6 months. The fractures got clinic union in 3 to 6 months.Two cases experienced detachment of claws and hooks but their final outcome was not affected.Three cases suffered coxa vara.All the other cases obtained normal motion function of hips and normal neck shaft angle.No breakage of claw,hook or nail was found in them.Conclusions It is necessary to design an internal fixator that can fit the anatomical features of Chinese femurs in the treatment of intertrochanteric fractures of femur.The two-claw plate designed by us is a good attempt to improve the clinical effect.

A system analysis about the microbial flora of normal and abnormal soybean sauce liquor from the high-salt-level watery state fermentation was made and the dominant bacteria and yeasts were identified.On the other hand,a discussion of effect of temperature on microbial flora was made.The results indicated that there were no obvious differences about the count of aerobe,spore-producing bacteria,enterobacteriaceae,lactic acid bacteria and anaerobe between the normal and abnormal soybean sauce liquor and there were marked differences about the count of yeasts and salt-tolerant bacteria.The predominant yeasts in normal soybean sauce were Torulopsis and Saccharomyces,accounting for 55.9% and 35.3% of the total yeasts separately,and in abnormal soybean sauce were Pichia,candida and Saccharomyces,accounting for 62.8%,17.9% and 9.0% respectively.

These years with industrial antiseptics and disinfectants widely used, especially unscientifically used, the resistance of microorganisms is more and more serious, which brought much more difficulties to industrial producing. The developments on the resistance of microorganisms to industrial antiseptics and disinfectants, their resistant mechanisms and the control strategies are reviewed, which aids us to reasonably use industrial organic antiseptics and disinfectants in existence and provides academic and scientific basis.
