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.

BACKGROUND:Bone tissue transplantation or osteogenic material fil ing is after used for bone defect repair. To remove autologous bone tissues can lead to additional damage and secondary deformity, therefore, it is extremely urgent to search for a new osteogenic material. OBJECTIVE:To construct the porousβ-tricalcium phosphate (β-TCP)/col agen scaffold modified with human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (hBMP2) gene, and to observe its effects on differentiation of MC3T3-E1 cel lines. METHODS:The porousβ-TCP/col agen scaffold modified with hBMP2 gene was prepared. Then in vitro culture system of MC3T3-E1 cel lines with composite scaffold was established. There were scaffold and plate groups, and each group was divided into two subgroups according to the different concentrations of plasmid. Samples were col ected and observed morphological y by scanning electron microscope and light microscope after complex culture. After 1, 3, 7 and 14 days of induction, calcium nodules were observed through alizarin red staining, the cel cycle was detected by real-time PCR, and expressions ofαI-chain col agen type I gene, Osterix and bone sialoprotein were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The number of cel s adhered, differentated and distributed on the composite scaffold was significantly higher than that of the single scaffold (P<0.05). Alizarin red staining and real-time PCR detection showed that the osteogenesis ability of MC3T3-E1 cel lines in the scaffold group was stronger than that in the plate group. To conclude, the porousβ-TCP/col agen scaffold modified with hBMP2 gene is an appropriate candidate for bone defect repair.

BACKGROUND:To reducing bone damage in patients with chronic arthritis, anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha treatment has aroused wide concern.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the action of tumor necrosis factor alpha in the pathogenesis of chronic arthritis and progress in anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha drugs.
METHODS:A computer-based search of NCBI, OVID, EBSCO was performed to col ect articles published from December 1st, 2005 to July 31st, 2013 with the keywords of“infliximab, etanercept, adalimumab, chronic arthritis”in English. There were 162 articles after initial retrieval, and final y 40 articles were included and summarized.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Studies have shown that a number of factors are involved in the activation of osteoclasts, and tumor necrosis factor alpha is only a member resulting in osteoclastogenesis. In addition, there are some media behind tumor necrosis factor alpha and RANK-RANKL system, which may independently induce osteoclastogenesis. Because of this, a separate anti-tumor necrosis factor alpha therapy applied to chronic arthritis cannot achieve the desired therapeutic effects.

Objective To evaluate the protective effect of leukocyte-depleted warm blood cardioplegia on immature myocardium in infant.Methods Thirty infants with congenital heart disease whose American Society of Anesthesiologists(ASA) were Ⅱ-Ⅲ,aortic clamping time and bypass time were more than 30,40 minutes were respectively selected and divided into 2 groups:Experimental group and control group.Experimental group were perfused with leukocyte-depleted warm blood cardioplegia while control group perfused with common warm blood cardiplegia.Under monitoring the hemodynamics at surgery,the serum levels of troponin I(cTnI) and intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) in heparinized anticoagulant blood samples from radial artery at different time points [anesthesia induction and before extracorporeal circulation(T1),30 min after aortic clamping(T2) and aortic declamping 5 min(T3),15 min(T4)]were detected.Three pieces of cardiac muscle were taken from right atrium at different time points and the levels of myeloperoxidase(MPO) were detected.Results 1.The serum cTnI and ICAM-1 levels after aortic declamping were higher than those before operation,and the levels in experimental group were lower than those in control group(t=2.358,2.533,2.30,2.639 Pa

Objective To study the relationship between receptor interacting protein (RIP)1 and hepatocyte necropto?sis in isoniazid (INH) induced mouse model. Methods Kunming male mice were randomly divided into three groups. Con?trol group (C) received 0.3 mL of normal saline one time per day. INH group (INH) was injected intraperitoneally INH 100 mg/kg body weight, one time per day. Nec-1+INH group was injected intraperitoneally Nec-1 in 0.1%DMSO and 1 mg/kg body weight one time/12 hours, and INH was injected intraperitoneally at the same dose with that of INH group. All animals were treated for 7 days. Pathological changes of liver tissues were studied by HE staining. RIP1 expression was detected by immunohistochemical, Western blot and real-time PCR analysis. Levels of malondialdehyde (MDA), reactive oxygen species (ROS), glutathione (GSH) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) in liver homogenate were determined by colorimetric method. Re?sults Hepatocytes were arranged orderly in C group. The degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes were found in Nec-1+INH group, and severe degeneration and necrosis of hepatocytes were found in INH group. Compared with C group, the ex?pression levels of RIP1, ROS and MDA were increased significantly, and the expression levels of GSH and SOD were de?creased significantly in INH group (P<0.05). INH-induced acute liver necroptosis was significantly alleviated after treat?ment with Nec-1. Compared with INH group, the expression levels of RIP1, MDA and ROS were significantly decreased, and the expression levels of GSH and SOD were significantly increased in Nec-1+INH group (P<0.05). Conclusion These re?sults suggest that RIP1 is involved in INH-induced hepatocyte necroptosis in mice. The inhibition of RIP1 expression might be a treatment strategy for prohibition of INH-induced acute liver necroptosis.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Acupotomy on spastic cerebral palsy. Methods105 cases of spastic cerebral palsy were random divided into group A (35 cases with acupotomy), group B (34 cases with physical therapy) and group C (36 cases with acupotomy and physical therapy). Modified Ashworth Scale (MAS) was used to assess spasticity before and a month after therapy. ResultsEffective rate of group A was 65.71%, group B was 29.41%, group C was 77.78%, which of group B was significantly lower than those of group A of C. ConclusionAcupotomy can reduce muscular tension of spastic cerebral palsy, which seems more effective than physical therapy.

Objective To investigate the effect of chymase on the proliferation of rat cardiac fibroblasts (CFs) and the role of transforming growth factor-?1 (TGF-?_1).Methods Cultured CFs of neonatal SD rats were isolated by trypsinization.Cell number and DNA synthesis were evaluated by MTT assay (A_(490) value) and [~3H]-deoxythy- midine [~3H]-TdR incorporation.The mRNA expression of TGF-?_1 in CFs was determined by RT-PCR.Results Chymase increased CFs numbers and [~3H]-TdR incorporation in a dose-dependent manner.The A_(490) value of CFs stimulated by 15,30 and 60 ng/mL chymase was 0.263?0.033,0.348?0.031 and 0.387?0.026,respectively, which were all significantly higher than that of control (0.201?0.019,P
