0.05).⑵ With the increase of titers of anti-A(B) antibodies of IgG type, both the incidence and severity of HDN elevated (P

0.01).After incubation with trehalose for 4h,the expression of CD62p increased,and it decreased when platelets activation inhibitor PGE-1 and adenosine were added to the incubation buffer.The expression of PAC-1 showed no difference among the three groups. Conclusion The preprocessing before platelets lyophilization has no significant effects on the function and activity of platelets when the platelets activation inhibitor is added.

AIM: To investigate the immunoblot changeS of dystrophin expression in mdx mice after bone marrow stem cells transplantation. METHODS: The experiment was conducted in the laboratory of Department of Neurology, the First Affiliated Hospital, Sun Yat-sen University from September to December 2004. ①Twenty-five mdx mice of 7-8 weeks old were selected and randomly divided into transplantation 4, 8, 12 and 16 weeks groups and blank control group with 5 mice in each group. Meanwhile, 20 C57 mice of 4 to 6 weeks old were selected as donor mice, and 5 C57 mice aged 10 weeks served as positive control mice. ②All mice were preconditioned with 7 Gy ?-ray. After radiotherapy, 2?107 marrow stem cells per mouse (about 0.3-0.5 mL) were injected into the vena caudalis of mice; 0.3 mL PBS was injected into the blank control group and positive control group. ③The mice in 4 transplantation groups were killed at each time point, and the gastrocnemius was harvested to prepare dystrophin samples. The amount of dystrophin expression was detected by Western blot with GAPDH as control. RESULTS: All 25 mdx mice and 5 C57 mice were involved in the result analysis. Western Blot analysis of dystrophin after transplantation: No dystrophin was detected in the blank control group; in the 4 weeks after transplantation group, only few dystrophin expressions were detected, and the dystrophin/GAPDH was about 0.095?0.267; in the 12 weeks after transplantation group, dystrophin/GAPDH was about 0.218?0.338; dystrophin expressions were increased with time, at 16 weeks after transplantation, the expressions were much more than those at 8 weeks (dystrophin/GAPDH: 0.393?0.385, 0.173?0.284, t =6.062, P

Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis is a progressive neurodegenerative disease that targets motor neurons without efficient treatment. Stem cell receives the enormous attention because it from specific tissues can differentiate into motor neuron. Stem cells from specific tissues could be used for amyotrophic lateral sclerosis, such as embryonic stem cells, neural stem cells, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, umbilical cord blood-derived stem cells and induced pluripotent stem cells. The mechanism of stem-cell therapy includes cell-replacement, delivery neurotrophic factors and immunomodulation. Animal researches and some clinical trails have confirmed that stem cells have great potential to treat neurodegenerative diseases. Till now, people are still unknown some aspects of stem cells, and many problems still need to be resolved.

The medical equipment benefit evaluation analysis has become an important constituent of cost and medical equipment management. It can not only use the economic benefit index to estimate the service condition of equipment, but also form the comprehensive evaluation system with basic of economic benefit evaluation and auxiliary of science study. Based on comprehensive evaluation result, to search the weakness of equipment utilization and promote the overall development of hospitals and clinics orderly.

Objective To investigate the value of quantitative assessment of hepatic fibrosis and indocyanine green measurement in predicting hepatic functional reserve in rats with liver cirrhosis.Methods Female Wister rats were divided into normal control and cirrhotic group,and cirrhotic models were established.Quantitative assessment of hepatic fibrosis was done by use of computer-assisted digital image analysis,and R15ICG was measured.Results Differences of R15ICG and quantitative assessment of hepatic fibrosis between the two groups at 8 and 10 weers after hepatic fibrosis model was established were statistically significant(P

Objective To discuss the diagnostic value of high frequency ultrasound on lesions of knee traumas.Methods Ninty-eight cases with post-traumatic knee injuries were examined by high frequency ultrasound,and the characteristics of changing ultrasonogram were observed and comparing with surgical results and MR.Results Of the 98 cases with post-traumatic knee injuries,there were 57 cases with effusion and hematocele in knee joint,among which there were 41 cases with collateral ligaments and meniscus injuries,the diagnostic coincidence rate was 93.3% in tendon tear and complete tendon fracture(compared with MR),91.7% in partial and complete muscle tear(compared with MR),67.7% and 71.4% in collateral ligaments and meniscus injuries(compared with surgical results).Conclusions High frequency ultrasound can be used as a conventional imaging examination method for post-traumatic knee injuries.

Objective To study the expression levels of B7.1 and B7.2 in the macrophagus of rats infected with the Plasmodium yoelii sporozoites and investigate the roles of these costimulators in parasite infection immunity. Methods The mammal model was established by infecting rats with the sporozoites, then macrophagus was separated from the rat abdominal cavity 2, 12, 24, 48, 72 h after infection. The expressions were quantitative analyzed by immunofluorescence staining and laser scanning confocal microscopy. Result The expressions of B7.1 and B7.2 were upregulated after infected with the sporozoites. The expression of B7.1 was slowly induced and then descended at 72 h. B7.2 was rapidly induced and maximally expressed at 48 h and downregulation at 72 h. The expression of B7.2 was significantly higher than that of B7.1 at all time points assayed after stimulation (P

Objective To analyze the clinical features of 35 cases of Kennedy's disease and the correlation be?tween clinical features and CAG repeat size to strengthen the understanding of KD and to avoid misdiagnosis and delayed diagnosis.Methods Clinical data, including clinical signs and symptoms ,serum lipid, serum sex hormone level, electro?myography, the number of CAGs and (amyotrophic lateral sclerosis muscular atrophy,ALS) rating scale were collected from 35 patients genetically diagnosed of Kennedy disease and proceed system analysis. Results Patients with KD were adult onset with the average age of (40.77 ± 8.57) years and the average confirmed course were (8.32 ± 4.17) years. Forty-two point nine percent of the patients had family history. Clinical features included medulla oblongata and spinal muscular atrophy and weakness, limbs tremor, perioral muscles twitch and endocrine function and metabolic disorders in some cases. Creatine kinase, triglyceride, low density lipoprotein, follicle estrogen and prolactin were significantly in?creased compared to healthy adults (P:0.000,0.018,0.000,0.000,0.003). The number of CAG repeat was negatively correlated with the onset age (r=-0.549, P=0.001) but not associated with the illness severity (ALS rating scale) (r=0.001, P=0.998). ALS score was negatively correlated with course of disease(r=-0.540, P=0.001).Conclusions Chinese KD pa? tients share similar clinical phenotypes with those of other races but exhibit slightly different clinical characteristics. The length of the CAG repeat influences age at onset but not the severity of disease. Severity of disease is related to the course of disease.

AIM: To investigate the survival, migration and differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (hMSC) in the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MACO) model and to observe the influence on motor function in the animal model. METHODS: hMSC with Hoeschst 33342 were injected into the animal model of MACO after Shenqiye induced for half an hour and their survival, migration, differentiation and the behavior changes in MACO rats were examined. RESULTS: hMSC had good homogeneousness and immunological reaction after implantation. The results showed that hMSC survived in rat brain for a long time over six weeks. As time going, hMSC were found in much more areas in the rat brain. Immunofluorescence staining suggested that implanted hMSC expressed human neuron specific enolase, neurofilament, and glial fibrillary acid protein. At the same time, improvements in abnormal behavior of MACO rats were observed. CONCLUSION: hMSC differentiate into neurons in the brain of rats, which means that hMSC is an ideal seed cells for the therapy of cerebral infarction.
