AIM To study anti CMV effect of S ODNs complementary to the initial code region of major immediate early (MIE) mRNA, and to the intron1/exon2 boundary of MIE mRNA precursor. METHODS To evaluate the anti CMV effect by determining viral antigen on infected 2BS cells by in situ ELISA. RESULTS Both of 2 AS S ODNs and their sense sequence control showed anti CMV effect. The medium effective concentration (EC 50 ) were 4 53, 10 2, 26 2 and 30 1 ?mol?L -1 . The secretion of CMV antigens were delayed by 3 d～4 d by 8 0 ?mol?L -1 AS 1. It showed increased effect by administrating earlier postinfection, by supplementing the S ODN at intervals, by conbinating with ganciclovir, and by packaging with liposome. A slight cytotoxicity was observed at the concentration of 64 0 ?mol?L -1 . Northern blot analysis indicated that the MIE mRNA decreased after the treatment of AS 1. It suggests that disintegration of the mRNA in the hybridized duplex by activated RNase H played an important role as the mechanism of specific action, and "time and effect" analysis suggested that interference of viral adsorbtion and penetration may be the important mechanism of nonspecificity. CONCLUSION AS S ODNs targeted to MIE gene are effective anti CMV agents which can be developed as a new type of chemotherapy drugs against CMV infection.

Objective To assess the sensitivity and specificity of vaginitis pathogen detection reagent kit (Nucleic acid hybridization). Methods Four hundreds cases of vaginal secretion samples were detected with Amsel, vaginalis culture, fungal culture and Affirm VPIII detection method, respectively. Using the methods of Amsel, vaginalis culture and fungal culture as the gold standard, the clinical application value of Affirm VPIII detection method was evaluated. Results Compared with Amsel, the sensitivity and specificity of Affirm VPIII detection was 92.2%and 70.5%, respectively. Compared with fungal culture, the sensitivity and specificity was 88.3% and 92.9%, respectively. Compared with vaginalis culture, the sensitivity and specificity was 92.6% and 93.8%, respectively. There was a good consistency between the gold stardard and the Affirm VPIII detection. Conclusion Compared with the traditional detection methods,the Affirm VPIII detection has the advantages of fast detection speed,simple operation, and high sensitivity and specificity. In addition, it can identify three kinds of vaginitis pathogenic microorganisms at the same time,with a certain clinical value.

BACKGROUND: It is easy and feasible to treat anterior urethral stricture using internal urethrotomy, however, its drawback is high recurrence in the long-term follow-up. OBJECTIVE: To evaluate the effect of submucosal injected verapamil on prevention of anterior urethral stricture recurrence after internal urethrotomy. METHODS: Totally 60 consecutive males with anterior urethral stricture underwent internal urethrotomy with or without urethral submucosal injection of verapamil, in the Department of Urology, First Affiliated Hospital of Fujian Medical University, from December 2006 to April 2008, were selected. All cases were followed up at least 24 months.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: All cases were followed up for 24-39 months, with an average of 28.5 months. Urethral stricture recurred in two cases in the verapamil-treated group but 8 cases in the untreated group. This difference in stricture recurrence between the two groups was statistically significant (P < 0.05). The results demonstrated that submucosal injection of verapamil at the stricture site significantly reduces the stricture recurrence rate after internal urethrotomy. Further studies involving larger number of cases and longer follow-up are warranted to confirm the efficacy and safety of this therapy.

Objective To analyse the operation technique and therapeutic effect of "inserting" uretero-intestinal anastomosis in orthotopic bladder substitution.Methods Thirty-eight patients undergoing orthotopic bladder substitution operations were followed up,and the way of uretero-intestinal anastomosis in all Datients was the "inserting"uretero-intestinal anastomosis.The therapeutic effect was observed by radiation,cystoscopy,pathologic biopsy and blood test.Results The average follow-up time was(3 1.65±14.14)montll8.and the stricture rate was 4%(3/75),but no vesicoureteric reflux was found.The rate of leakage was 0.Nipples were formed at the site of anastomosis under the view of cystoscope,and among the 7 patients whose nipples were taken to be examined by histology,2 cases were intestinal epithelium which were taken at the base of nipple8.while the others were transitional epithelium which were taken at the top of nipples.The renal function of all patients was normal (Cr 54-135 μmol/L,BUN 3.2-9.4 mmol/L).Conclusion "Inserting"uretem-intestinal anastomosis is an ideal antireflux uretero-intestinal anastomosis method.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the clinical outcomes of artificial bone (hydroxyapatite) and bone cement implantation in treating young patients with avascular necrosis of the femoral head caused by different reasons. METHODS: A total of 18 patients (23 hips) with Ficat stage Ⅲ and Ⅱ avascular necrosis of the femoral head were treated with dead bone debridement, artificial bone and cement implantation in Department of Orthopedics, Third Affiliated Hospital of Guangxi Traditional Chinese Medical College from October 2003 to July 2008. The patients were followed up for 24.6 months (ranging 3 months to 5 years). The affected hip function was evaluated by modified Merled'Aubigne Scores and X-ray. RESULTS: Mean hip scores improved significantly from 11.65 to 15.09 after surgery. Postoperative radiographs demonstrated the improved collapse and restoration of femoral head sphericity. The femoral heads of most patients remained the appearance after surgery, and the necrosis range did not enlarge. The patients were satisfactory to the treatment results. CONCLUSION: Artificial bone and cement implantation could restore head sphericity and prevent further collapse. The method can be used as an alternative for treatment of avascular necrosis of femoral head at Ficat stage Ⅱ and Ⅲ, especially for young patients.

BACKGROUND:At present, the separation and culture technique of chondrocytes has been mature, but the chondrocytes grow slowly which are prone to degenerate using the present technique. It is not conducive to the fol ow-up test.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate and improve the separation and culture method of articular chondrocytes of New Zealand rats at 4 weeks of age.
METHODS:New Zealand rats aged 4 weeks were selected to take cartilage tissues from the bilateral knees that were resected under aseptic condition. Chondrocytes were isolated by type Ⅱ col agenase enzyme digestion and mechanical isolation method. The cells were cultured and passaged, and then identified by morphologic observation, toluidine blue staining and type Ⅱ col agen enzyme immunohistochemical methods. Growth curve was pictured by 3-(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide method.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Inverted microscope observation showed that the primary cultured chondrocytes adhered at 6 hours after cultivation. The monolayer formation occurred at 72 hours after cultivation, and the cells were ready to be passaged at 96 hours after cultivation. In the fourth generation, some cells represented a spindle-like appearance. In the fifth generation, most cells turned into irregular shape appearance, and cellproliferation capacity diminished. Toluidine blue staining showed that the nuclei of cultured chondrocytes were blue and cytoplasm was pale blue. Immunofluorescent staining showed that cultured chondrocytes had a positive expression of col agen type Ⅱ and the color was tawny. Proliferative rate of chondrocytes in the first to third generations had no differences (P<0.05), while differences were found compared with the fourth generation in 4-7 days (P<0.05) and the fifth generation in 1-7 days (P<0.05). The results indicate that type Ⅱ col agenase enzyme digestion and mechanical isolation method is successful for isolating, cultivating New Zealand rat articular chondrocytes in vitro, and the first to third generations can be the best choice for the experiments of knee osteoarthritis.
