Objective To study the morphological changes of the Schwann cells within the predegenerated nerve. Methods The ulanr and the median nerves were cut bilaterally at the axillary level in 42 SD rats. A nerve segment of 1 cm in length was harvested from the distal segment of each of the cut nerves right after the operation, 3 days, 1, 2, 3, 4 and 8 weeks postoperatively(group 1-7). The methods of Schwann cells culture and S-100 protein standing were used to study the temporal changes of the number of the Schwann cells, and the thickness of myelin of the predegenerated nerve were studied under electromicroscope. Results The number of Schwann cells increased after nerve transection, and reached a peak of [(3.52?0.27)?107]/ml in one week. The thickness of myelin also increased after nerve transection, and was thickest at about (231.2?8.9) nm in one week. The myelin thickness slowly decreased after this time. Conclusion The number of the Schwann cells and the thickness of myelin of the predegenerated nerve were changed with time.

Objective To determine the role of flagellar motor protein MotA in the pathogenesisassociated chemotaxis and colonization of Campylobacter jejuni. Methods The motA gene as well as Kan~r gene and plus-motA gene segments for motA gene knock-out were amplified by PCR and the target amplification fragments were sequenced after cloning. A suicide plasmid(pBlueskrit-Ⅱ-SK~(motA-kan)) and a motA gene knock-out mutant (motA~-) were constructed based on homologious recombination. By using semisolid plate migration test, hard agar plus (HAP)-based chemotactic test towards sodium deoxycholate (SDC) in vitro, and jejunal colonization test in BALB/c-ByJ mice were performed to determine the differences of flagellar motility, chemotaxis towards SDC and colonization in murine jejunum between motA~- mutant and wild-type strain. Results The nucleotide and amino acid sequences of the cloned motA gene were 100% identical to the reported corresponding sequences. The results of PCR, sequencing and continuous passage culture in antibiotics-contained medium demonstrated that both suicide plasmid and motA~- mutant were successfully generated. The diameters of clonies on semisolid plate and 0.2 mol/L SDC-induced chemotactic tings in HAP as well as the bacterial numbers adhering to the surface of murine jejunal mucosa and in jejunal content of motA~- mutant were significantly less than those of wild-type strain(P<0.05). Conclusion A motA gene knock-out mutant of C. jejuni was successfully constructed in this study, motA is an essential gene for flagellax motility, pathogenesis-associated chemotaxis and colonization of C. jejuni.

Objective To analyze clinical features,surgical treatment efficacy and prognostic factors of bone metastasis patients after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma.Methods A retrospective clinical data of 20 bone metastasis patients after liver transplantation for hepatocellular carcinoma from July 2000 to January 2010 were received.The effect of surgery aimed at bone metastasis was evaluated.Univariate and multivariate prognostic risk factors were analyzed.Results The median survival time of these patients was 7.5 months and 1-year survival rate was only 20％.Surgical treatment could relieve pain and promote patients' peformance status significantly.Univariate and multivariate analysis found that tumor microvascular invasion within the removed recipient liver was the only prognostic risk factor.Conclusions Patients of bone metastasis after liver transplantation for HCC had poor prognosis.Surgical treatment helps improve patient's quality of life.Tumor microvascular invasion is the risk factor of surgical prognosis.

BACKGROUND:Fibrin glue is a natural biodegradable scaffold, which can be used for tissue-engineered scaffolds, and is increasingly used as seed cel carrier for tissue engineering repair. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the biocompatibility in vitro of rabbit fascia fibroblasts and fibrin glue. METHODS:Tissue explants adherent method was used to culture fibroblasts from subcutaneous deep fascia tissue of New Zealand white rabbits. The fibroblasts could be passaged with trypsin digestion method. Suspension of passage four fibroblasts was co-cultured with fibrin glue. Morphology and proliferation of fibroblasts on the surface of fibrin glue were dynamical y observed under the inverted phase contrast microscope. At 5 days after co-culture, fibroblasts were identified by immunofluorescence staining under the laser scanning confocal microscope. The fibroblast growth and adhesion were observed under the scanning electron microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:There was no significant difference in fibroblast morphology between co-culture fibroblasts and pure culture fibroblasts with inverted phase contrast microscope. Scanning electron microscope demonstrated that fibroblasts ful y extended in fibrin glue surface, and showed a good adhesion between the“pseudopodium”and fibrin glue, and secreted matrix material. It is clear that the fibrin glue did not alter the morphologic features of fibroblasts. Laser scanning confocal microscope revealed that fibroblasts were positive for vimentin. These verified that properties of fibroblasts did not change after they were seeded in fibrin glue surface and did not be induced to differentiate. There is a very good biocompatibility between fascia fibroblasts and fibrin glue in vitro.

Objective To study the suitable dose of intracoronary adenosine (AD) on fractional flow reserve (FFR) measurement in Chinese patients with angiographic coronary artery disease. Methods FFR was measured in 32 patients with 40 moderate coronary stenosis. Boluses of intracoronary AD at increasing doses of 60μg (A1), 80μg (A2), 100μg (A3) and 120μg (A4) were randomly administered. FFR values, symptoms, systemic effects and development of atrioventricular block were recorded. Results FFR value decreased significantly by 8.99%(A1), 11.24%(A2), 13.48%(A3) and 13.48%(A4) compared with the baseline distal coronary pressure/aortic pressure (0.891±0.044, all P<0.001). A3 and A4 showed significantly lower FFR values than A1 (t=6.331、6.343, all P < 0.001),A2 (t=2.974、3.058, P=0.005、0.004). Positive rates of an FFR of<0.75 were 30.0%(n=12), 32.5%(n=13), 35.0%(n=14) and 35.0%(n=14) in A1, A2, A3 and A4. A total of 13 patients(40.6%) reported at least one side effects. Conclusions This study suggests a dose-response relationship for intracoronary AD on the measurement of FFR in Chinese patients with angiographic coronary artery disease. The suitable dose of bolus of intracoronary AD is 100μg.

Objective To study the effects of olanzapine on glucolipid metabolism,liver function and prolactin level in childhood onset schizophrenia(COS) to provide reference for clinical medication.Methods Thirty-eight patients with COS aged 13-17 years old were treated with olanzapine for at least two weeks.The changes of body mass,alanine aminotransferase(ALT),aspartate aminotransferase (AST),total cholesterol (TC),triglyceride (TG),glucose (GLU) and prolactin (PRL) were detected and compared between before and after treatment.Results The body mass after medication in children patients was significantly increased,average increase by (3.50-t-1.90)kg (P＜0.01).The levels of ALT,AST,TC,TG and PRL after treatment were higher than before treatment (P＜0.05).However,there was no statistically significant difference in blood GLU level between before and after treatment(P=0.598).The body mass change before and after treatment was positively correlated with ALT and AST levels(r=0.366,0.377,P＜0.05);whereas the PRL level before and after treatment was negatively correlated with the body mass change (r=-0.432,P＜0.01).Conclusion Olanzapine can lead to the body weight gain and increase of ALT,AST,TC,TG and PRL levels in COS patients.
