Objective To investigate the mechanisms of attachment of respiratory syncytial virus(RSV) to human airway epithelial cells.Methods Attachment of RSV to CFBE was quantitatively assessed by flow cytometry.Various polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies to RSV and heparin were pre-incubated with RSV.The blocking effects of these antibodies and heparin on attachment were evaluated.Results CFBE cells reduced capacity being bound by RSV.All the antibodies used were failed to block attachment of RSV on CFBE,whereas heparin blocked RSV attachment in a dose-response manner and the blokade by heparin was almost complete at the concentration of 0.4 mg/L.Conclusions Flow cytometry provides direct evaluation of attachment without growth of virus.Heparin-like molecules on cell surface of CFBE appears to be involved in attachment between RSV and human epithelial cells.

Objective [WT5”BZ] To evaluate the surgical treatment of insulinomas in the head and neck of the pancreas. [WT5”HZ]Methods [WT5”BZ] Data of 43 patients with insulinomas located in the head and neck of the pancreas during the past 16 years in PUMC Hospital were analyzed retrospectively.[WT5”HZ] Results [WT5”BZ] The average age of patients was 37 years old with an average preoperative history of 2 7 years. The preoperative accuracy of PTPC, DSA, B ultrasound, CT and MRI were 89 5%,72 5%,22 4%,25 3% and 66 7% respectively. The accuracy of intraoperative palpation was 97 8%. Enucleation of tumors was usually applied, and distal pancreatectomy or Roux en Y pancreaticojejunostomy were performed in 7 cases. The incidence of postoperative pancreatic leakage was 32 6%.[WT5”HZ] Conclusions [WT5”BZ] Selection of operation methods depends on the relationship of tumor with pancreatic duct and bile duct. Intraoperative monitoring of blood glucose is an essential mean to verify the complete resection of tumors. [WT5”HZ]

The development of transitional epithelium of ureter and urinary bladder in the rats from prenatal 15 days old to postnatal 4 weeks old was studied by histological and histochemical methods. During the development, RNA and glycogen contents are increased at first and then decreased. The activity of SDH,AcP and AlP increased gradually and ATPase reaction was negative. These parameters tended to be stable from the postnatal 3rd week, it meants that the epithelium tend to maturation. On the prenatal 15th day there were some significant differences between the epithelium of the two organs, however thereafter they gradually become identical and they showed the same type of epithelium, i.e. transitional epithelium at maturation. This means that they reached the same goal by different routes. In addition, on the prenatal 15th day the epithelium of urinary bladder stratified in most portions, some of the superficial cells degenerate. Hence it deduced that the epithelium of urinary bladder undergo primitive stratification firstly, nad then cell degeneration happens, and evolve into trasitional form ultimately. Meanwhile, We presume that in certain extent, the development of the epithelium of the two organs, including cell temporary degeneration, in addition to the action of embryonic induction, probably related to the content of urinary tract also.

Objective To study the state of psychoanalysis in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and assess the Quality of life with fluoxetine therapy. Methods Fifty-three patients were evaluated by self-rating depression scale (SDS). The depression group were treated with fluoxetine. The quality of life of patientswith RA at the study entry and at the end of study were evaluated by questionnaire. Results 77.6% of these patients had clinical features of depression. A high frequency including upset, loss of interest, insomnia, irritability and life devoid of meaning were observed. The SDS and quality of life scores were improved after treated with fluoxetine. Conclusion There is serious depression in patients with RA. The therapy with fluox-etine can help to improve the quality of life.

Objective By using ProtEx~(TM) technology to decorate target cells with an exogenous protein and observe its function for immunomodulation.Methods Donor splenocytes were decorated with chimeric SA-FasL protein.The expression of FasL and its impact on other molecules on the surface of splenocytes was detected.Heterotopic rat heart transplantation was performed from inbred WF rat to ACI rat.According to the different donor splenocytes perioperatively injected into recipients,the recipients were divided into 3 groups:SA-FasL group (n=23),SA group (n=20) and control group(n=10).Heart beating was examined by palpation on daily basis,the cessation was regarded as reiection,while surival over 100 days was considered as graft long-term survival.Diabetes models in C57BL/6 mice were induced by intravenous injection of STZ.Islets from BALB/C mice were decorated by SA-FasL protein,islets transplant was performed from BABL/c to C57BL/6 mice.Based on the different treatments of donor islets,recipients were divided into three groups:islet-FasL group (n=21),islet-SA group (n=21) and islet-untreated group(n=14).Rejection was identified while urine glucose was positive and blood glucose value was over 250 mg/ml for consecutive two days.Urine glucose negative over 100 days was regarded as graft long-term survival.Results The mean exDression rate of FasL in splenocytes was 94.49%±4.27% tested by flow cytometry and FasL showed red color 0n the surface of splenocytes by fluorescent stammg.FasL deeoration did not disturb the expression of CD3,CD4,D8,MHC I and CD80.The long-term survival rate o,f heart transplant showed significant difference between tWO groups(SA-FasL:70% vs SA:25%,P<0.05).67% FasL-decorated islets had normal function 30 days post transplant,and 29%FasL-decorated islets achieved long-term survival,which was significantly differed from the other groups(P<0.05).Conclusion ProtEx~(TM) is a simple,fast,safe and efficient approach for exogenous protein modmcation.Decoration of target cells with Chimeric FasL by this technique plays an umportant role in immunomodulatiorn.

In order to evaluate the anti-influenza virus activity of the effective monomer from Folium Isatidis (FI) in vivo, we established mice model with viral pneumonia and divided them into 3 different dose groups, then observed their lung indexes, pulmonary pathological changes, pulmonary virus hemagglitination titers, living time and death rates. The results showed that the monomer could reduce the pulmonary index from 2.64 to 1.93, 1.63 and 1.40 (P<0.01) and decrease the hemagglitination titer from 1.15 to 0.84, 0.70 and 0.59 (P<0.01). In addition,the living time from 5.1d to 6.5d, 8.4d and 8.9d respectively(P<0.01). The high dose (75 mg/kg/d) has the similar effect with 100 mg/kg/d dose of virazole(P>0.05), and more effective than 200 mg/kg/d dose of antiviral liquor (P<0.05).

Regeneration of axon was play an important role in the functional repair after spinal cord injury,and it was affected by vascular damage,absent availability nutrition transportation,urged to be solved.Inducing angiogenesis by electrical fields might be benefit to enhance anatomical plasticity and recovery of function after spinal cord injury.

?AIM:To study the changes of ocular surface in cataract patients with Meibomian gland dysfunction ( MGD) who treated with Meibomian gland massage before surgery.?METHODS: Totally 90 patients ( 93 eyes ) with cataract and MGD were randomly divided into two groups. Patients in experimental group were treated with hot compress and Meibomian gland massage every day before surgery, while the patients in the control group were not taken. Two groups of patients received phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation. Lid margin abnormalities, secretion characteristics, Schimer I test ( SⅠt) and tear film break-up time ( BUT ) were recorded and compared between two groups using slit lamp microscope inspection preoperatively and postoperatively 1wk.?RESULTS:In the control group, the postoperative score of eyelid margin and Meibomian gland secretion was increased significantly than preoperative, while the value of BUT and SⅠt was down significantly. Compared with control group, the postoperative score of eyelid margin shape and Meibomian gland secretion in the experimental group was decreased significantly, while the value of BUT and SIT improved significantly (P<0. 05).?CONCLUSION: Phacoemulsification can aggravate the Meibomian gland dysfunction and have some extent of effects on the ocular surface. Meibomian gland massage before surgery can significantly improve the function of Meibomian gland and the state of ocular surface in patients with MDG.
