[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To establish a perforated whole-cell patch-clamp technique withβ-escin to record L-type cal-cium current (ICa,L) in osteoblasts.METHODS:ROS 17/2.8 is a rat osteoblast-like osteosarcoma cell line.β-escin was applied to the pipette solution to permeabilize the cell membrane and the perforated patch recording mode was obtained. RESULTS:β-escin at concentration of 50μmol/L easily permeabilized the cell membrane and obtained a perforated patch recording mode in 2~7 min.This technique prevented ICa,L rundown and preserved cytoplasmic signaling pathways.CON-CLUSION:β-escin may be used as an alternative ionophore for perforated patch-clamp studies in osteoblasts and results in minimal rundown that could facilitate recordings of ICa,L in osteoblasts.

Objective To improve the corrected results of the nasal deformities of the hare lip nose. Methods Based on the reposition of the lower lateral cartilages and the caudal septum, the authors corrected the secondary hare lip nose with the L shaped silicon rubber graft to reinforce and model the nasal tip.Results From 1996~2000, the procedure was performed for 20 cases (15 male, 5 female ), aged from 16~21 years. Follow up was from 3 months to 4 years. All cases obtained satisfactory results. Conclusions The results of utilizing L shaped silicon rubber graft combined with reposition of the mislocated nasal cartilages are better than the latter method only, especialy for the nasal tip. The procedure is easy to learn .The material silicon rubber graft is cheap and can be trimmed very conveniently. And it can also correct the saddle nose at the same time.

Sterols are one of the active classes of compounds in Inonotus obliquus for their effective therapy of many diseases. In field environment, this fungus accumulates large amount of sterols. In cultured mycelia, however, this class of compounds is less accumulated. For analyzing the factors responsible for differing sterol composition, the field-grown and cultured mycelia were extracted with 80% ethanol at room temperature and total sterols were prepared using silicon gel column chromatography followed by identification using either GC-MS or spectroscopic methods. For culturing Inonotus obliquus, the seed culture was grown either in basic medium consisting of glucose (2%), yeast extract (0.5%), KH2PO4 (0.01%), MgSO4·7H2O (0.05%) and distilled water at pH 6.5, or the basic medium supplemented with serial concentrations of AgNO3. The results indicated that field-grown mycelia contained lanosterol and inotodiol (comprised 45.47% and 25.36% of the total sterols, respectively) and other 10 sterols (comprising the remaining 30.17%) including ergosterol biosynthetic intermediates such as 24-methylene dihydrolanosterol, 4,4-dimethylfecosterol, 4-methyl fecosterol, fecosterol and episterol. Column chromatography also led to the isolation of lanosterol, Inotodiol, trametenolic acid, foscoparianol B and a new triterpenoid foscoparianol D in field-grown mycelia. In comparison, the cultured mycelia only contained three sterols with ergosterol as the predominant one (82.20%). Lanosterol only accounted for 3.68%. Supplementing Ag+ into the culture at 0.28 μmol·L-1 greatly enhanced content of lanosterol (accounting for 56.81%) and decreased the content of ergosterol (18.5%) together with the presence of intermediates for ergosterol biosynthesis. These results suggested that the sterol composition in mycelia of the fungus can be diversified by supplementing substances inhibiting enzymatic process towards the synthesis of ergosterol. Harsh growth conditions in field environment (I.e. temperature variation, UV irradiation etc.) can delay the synthesis of ergosterol and hereby diversify the sterol composition in the mycelia of Inonotus obliquus.

Objective Investigate the relationship between thromboelastography and coagulation tests,and evaluate of two kinds of methods in guiding significance in cardiac surgery patients perioperative blood transfusion.Methods Analysis of 108 patients with cardiac surgery in September 2014-August 2016 treated in our hospitalwere randomLy divided into TEG detection guide blood transfusion group (experimental group) and coagulation test guide blood transfusion group (control group),Respectively on two groups of blood transfusion rate,different components of blood transfusion and transfusion effect comparison.Results Through the comparison of the heart surgery perioperative blood use rate guided by TEG and coagulation test,found the transfusion rate of experimental group guide cryoprecipitate 25.9% and fresh frozen plasma(FFP) 33.3% was significantly lower than the control group 68.5%,however,platelet transfusion rate was significantly higher than the control group of 57.4% to 20.4%.There was no statistically significant difference of red cell suspension (RCS) infusion rate between two groups,but the RCS infusion quantity of experimental group(3.6+ 1.6) was clearly lower than the control group (5.8+ 1.9),and the FFP and cryoprecipitate infusion quantity of experimental group was obviously lower than control group(P<0.05),too.Experimental groups of intraoperative blood loss,postoperative blood loss and rebleeding rate was lower than control group (P< 0.05).Concltsion That TEG guide cardiac surgery patients perioperative blood transfusion can reduce the use amount of blood products,and the prognosis of disease outcome is better than that of routine coagulation tests guidance.TEG can reduce the surgical complications and the bleeding amount,and it has great sense to guide clinical composition blood transfusion,so it is worth promoting.

Objective To investigate the effect of PNS on malignant melanoma and the expression of connexin32 in melanoma. Methods The spontaneous and experimental lung metastasis models of B16 melanoma were used to investigate the inhibitory effect of PNS on tumor growth and metastasis. The expression of connexin in melanoma were detected by immunohistoehemistry. Results (1) PNS can obviously inhibit the growth of B16 melanoma. The inhibition rate of the 480mg/kg PNS group was 50. 85%. (2) PNS can obviously inhibit the lung metastasis of B16 melanoma. The number of tumor colonies in lung of the 240 mg/kg PNS group and 480 mg/kg PNS group were lower than that in the negative control group. ( 3 ) The expression of connexin32 in melanoma was detected by immunohistochemistry:PNS could up-regulate the expression of connexin32 in membrane of melanoma. Conclusion PNS can inhibit malignant melanoma growth and metastasis and could also up-regulate the expression of connexin32 in membrane of melanoma.
