0bjective To study the expression of Fas in hippocampus of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion rats after treatment with monosialoganglioside (GM1). Methods Seventy-two SD rats were randomly divided into sham group (n=8), GM1 treatment group (n=32) and ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) group (n=32). According to the different time points (6 h, 12 h, 24 h and 3 d) of I/R, there were four subgroups in GM1 and I/R groups respectively. The expression of Fas in hippocampus was examined by immunochemistry and Western blot methods in all groups. Results Results of immunochemistry method showed that there was a little expression of Fas (the mean optical density was 0.17±0.02) in hippocampus of sham group, and the positive expression of Fas at different time points were increased significantly after reperfusion. The mean values of opti-cal density at different time points were 0.42±0.11, 0.51±0.13, 0.55±0.13 and 0.62±0.15 in I/R group, which reached to the peak at 3 d . The positive expression of Fas at different time points were significantly decreased in GM1 group (0.29 ± 0.09, 0.34±0.11, 0.37±0.12 and 0.43±0.12) than that of I/R group (P<0.05). Conclusion Monosialoganglioside participated in the pathogenesis of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury by down-regulating the expression of Fas.

OBJECTIVE:
To research the prevalences of four kinds of bacteria including Alloiococcus otitidis, Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus influenzae, and Moraxella catarrhalis in children with chronic otitis media with effusion (SOM) of the middle ear effusion, and the reproduction of the nasopharynx, so as to explore their meaning for the children with SOM.
METHOD:
Alloiococcus otitidis, Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus influenza, and Moraxella catarrhal were investigated in the samples obtained from middle ear effusion and nasopharyn- geal swabs, using PCR and conventional bacterial culture methods.
RESULT:
By bacterial culture, the pathogen detection rate from middle ear effusion was 3.6%,while the nasopharynx was 54.0%, the detection rate of Streptococcus pneumonia, Haemophilus influenza, Moraxella catarrhalis was 10.8%, 27.0%, 4.5%, respectively, the drug susceptibility results for 51 samples of bacterial culture positive showed that 39 cases was sensitivite to the β-lactam antibiotic; By PCR, the number of detecting various kinds of bacteria simultaneously in middle ear effusion or in the nasopharynx were 6 and 34. The bacteria prevalences of S. pneumoniae, H. influenzae, M. catarrhalis, and A. otitidis are 5.4%, 5.4%, 3.6%, and 42.3% in the middle ear effusion, are 25.2%, 27.0%,13.5% and 34.2% in nasopharyngeal, respectively.

Objective To explore the feasibility of labeling in vitro rabbit osteoblasts with Qtracker and the features of Qtracker-labeled rabbit osteoblasts. Methods A healthy male rabbit, 3 months old, weighing 2 kg, was used in this study. After bone marrow was aspirated, bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were isolated and cultured using the adherence method in vitro. The third passage of BMSCs was induced into osteablasts before incubation with Qtracker at concentrations of 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, 32 nmol/10~6 cells (Groups A, B, C, D, E, F respectively). Cells not labeled by Qtracker served as negative control (Group G). The following parameters were measured: induction, differentiation and determination of rabbit osteoblasts; the optimal mass concentration of Qtracker labeling by fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry; the cell sur-vival rates at various concentrations of Qtraeker labeling by trypan-blue exclusion; Qtracker-labeled cell pro-liferation by MTr. Results The primary and the passage rabbit BMSCs were chiefly of fusiform shape. Rabbit BMSCs differentiated into osteoblasts following induction. The osteoblasts cytoplasm showed green fluorescence under fluorescence microscopy after being labeled by Qtracker. The mean labeling rate increased with the increased concentration of Qtracker, reaching up to (93.58±2.08) % after incubation at 8 nmol/ 10~6 cells by fluorescence microscopy, and (95.24±1.31) % by flow cytometry. There were no significant differences between Groups D, E, F(P>0.05), but significant differences were found between Groups A, B, C and Groups D, E, F (P<0.05). The labeling rate for Group G was 0. The cell survival rates were all above 96% (P>0.05) . No significant differences were found in the cell proliferation among various con-centrations (P>0.05). Conclusions Qtraeker can be used as a labeling marker for rabbit osteoblasts. When the concentration is at 8 nmol/10~6 cells, optimal labeling effect can be achieved. Rabbit osteoblasts labeled with Qtracker are of high efficiency and safety.

Objective To explore the proliferation and differentiation of osteoblasts from 2 sources co-cultured with SD rat Schwann cells(SCs) . Methods Bone marrow stromal cells (BMSCs) were obtained by washing the femoral and tibial bone marrow cavities in SD rats. Osteoblast differentiation of the third passage of BMSCs was induced by incubation in osteogenic medium. Primary rat calvarial osteoblasts were obtained by digestion of the calvarial bone in one day old SD rats. The cells were cultured in DMEM supplemented with 10% fetal bovine serum(FBS) . SCs of passage 2 were obtained by digestion of sciatic nerve. The SCs were identified by S-100. The proliferation of 2 kinds of osteoblasts co-cultured with SCs was tested using 96 co-culture plate by methyl thiazdyl tetrazolium(MTF). Real-time PCR was used to test the osteoblast differentiation through co-culturing with SCs in 3 d and 7 d. The osteoblasts were implanted in the subtus chamber. The SCs were implanted in the superior chamber. Results SCs enhanced significantly the proliferation of calvarial osteoblasts at 7 time points. The expression levels of OPN mRNA, OCN mRNA, ALP mRNA, and BMP-2 mRNA of the osteoblasts were significantly lower in the experiment group than in the control group in 3 d and 7 d. SCs also enhanced significantly the proliferation of the induced osteoblasts in 5 d, 7 d and 9 d. The expression levels of OPN mRNA, OCN mRNA, ALP mRNA, and BMP-2 mRNA of the induced osteoblasts were significantly higher in the experiment group than in the control group in 3 d and 7 d, except the level of ALP mRNA in 7 d.Conclusions The BMSCs-induced osteoblasts cocultured with SCs may be used as seed cells to construct neurotized tissue engineered bone.

Objective Based on active monitoring MRSA carriage for hospitalized patients, the relationship between colonization pressure and MRSA cross transmission in wards without rigorous contactisolation measures was analyzed, and the role of colonization pressure in predicting MRSA cross transmission was further evaluated. Methods From March to December 2009, active MRSA colonization screening was performed for 240 hospitalized patients in emergency ward and 94 cases in RICU in our hospital. rep-PCR method was employed to do homology analysis on MRSA strains obtained in this study. MRSA weekly colonization pressure, threshold colonization pressure ,cross transmission rate were calculated respectively. RR of MRSA cross transmission under higher level of colonization pressure and lower level of colonization pressure was analyzed. Results MRSA carriage rates on admission for patients in emergency wards and RICU were 6. 25% (15/2A0) and 13. 83 % (13/94) ,and MRSA cross transmission occurred in 13 weeks and 14 weeks in above two units, respectively. Threshold colonization pressures for above two units were 6. 49%and 17. 66%, respectively. For emergency ward, the MRSA cross transmission rate under higher level of colonization pressure was significantly higher than that under lower level of colonization pressure (x2 = 7. 10,P<0. 01), the RR of MRSA transmission was 9. 61 (95% CI:1. 25-74.00). For RICU, the MRSA cross transmission rate under higher level of colonization pressure was significantly higher than that under lower level of colonization pressure(x2 = 12. 60, P<0. 01 ), the RR of MRSA transmission was 15.87 (95% CI:2. 06-122. 10). Conclusions Higher level of colonization pressure is an important risk factor for MRSA transmission, and average colonization pressure can be used as a prediction index for MRSA transmission and strengthening prevention and control measures.

Objective To investigate the effect of pre - washing without heparin on adequacy of hemodialysis. Methods Using self-control method, fifty hemodialysis patients received pre-washing with heparin in normal saline and normal saline. Then we tested Kt/v by online clearance monitoring and observed clotting condition of dialyzer and hemodialysis tubes. Results There were no difference of Kt/v between two methods. After hemodialysis, no clotting phenomenon was found in dialyzer. There was a little pot of coagulation in artery and vein pot, but no significant difference between two methods. Conclusions Pre-washing with normal saline alone can not only ensure the adequacy of hemodialysis, but also reduce the risk of cross infection and reduce the amount of heparin, simplify operational procedures, so it should be promoted.
