Objective To develop neural stem cells(NSCs) which can stably express exogenous brain-derived neurotrophic factor(BDNF) in vitro. Methods NSCs from the subependymal zone of embry-onic day 14.5(E14.5) rat brain were purified by limiting dilution assay and then infected with supernatant of recombinant retrovirus pLXSN-BDNF and retrovirus pLXSN. The original copy numbers of exogenous gene templates from three groups NSCs(pLXSN-BDNF viral infection group, pLXSN viral infection group, control group) were detected by fluorescent quantitative PCR(FQ-PCR). ELISA assay was used for determining the protein contents of BDNF of supernatant from three groups NSCs for six days continually after seeded in 24-well plates in the same cell density. Results NSCs were purified successfully by limiting dilution assay.The original copy numbers of exogenous BDNF gene templates from pLXSN-BDNF viral infection group by FQ-PCR were (19.57±0.65) × 10~3 copies/μl, higher than those of another two groups(P < 0.05). The protein contents of BDNF of supernatant from NSCs of pLXSN-BDNF viral infection group was highest among three groups and compared with another two groups had statistical significance (P <0.05) . Conclusion The purified NSCs can be transduced exogenous BDNF successfully with supematant of recombinant retrovir-us pLXSN-BDNF which provide experimental evidences and laying foundations for further research of retinal transplantation and quantization investigation of gene therapy for optic nerve injury.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effect and mechanism of tandospirone citrate (TC) on blood pressure in spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHR). METHODS:SHR were divided into model group,positive control group (Levamlodipine besylate tab-lets,2.5 mg/kg),TC high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose groups(TC capsules,40,20,10 mg/kg),8 in each group. Other 8 nor-mal rats were chosen as normal control group. The rats were intragastrically administrated medicines,once a day,for 28 d. Systolic blood pressure(SBP)before first administration and after 0.5,1,1.5,2,3,4 h of administration in each group were measured, and SBP after 1 h of administration were measured once every 7 d. After last administration,nitric oxide(NO)content in serum, endothelin,renin,angiotensin Ⅱ(Ang Ⅱ) and norepinephrine (NE) contents in plasma were detected. RESULTS:In single ad-ministration,compared with model group,SBP in 0.5,1 h in positive control group and TC groups after first administration were obviously decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01),then SBP were obviously decreased only in positive control group and TC high-dose group (P<0.05 or P<0.01). In multiple administration,compared with model group,SBP in 7th,14th,28th day of administra-tion in positive control group and TC high-dose,medium-dose groups were obviously decreased(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group,NO content in serum in positive control group,TC high-dose group were obviously increased;endothelin,re-nin,Ang Ⅱ and NE contents in plasma were obviously decreased (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with positive control group, NO content in serum in TC groups was obviously decreased;endothelin,renin,Ang Ⅱ and NE contents in plasma were obviously increased in TC medium-dose group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:TC can obviously decrease the blood pressure of SHR. The mechanism may be associated with adjusting the balance of NO and endothelin,and decreasing renin,AngⅡand NE contents.

OBJECTIVETo systematically review the effectiveness of bone substitute augmentation combined with internal fixation versus internal fixation alone in treating proximal femoral fractures in the elderly.

METHODSSubject term and keywords were searched from Pubmed, Cochrane databases and CNKI from database foundation to August 2015. Randomized controlled studies and qusi-randomized controlled studies on bone substitutes augmentation combined with internal fixation versus internal fixation alone for the treatment of proximal femoral fractures in the elderly were chosen. Postoperative re-displacement, re-operation rate, complications (infection and bone ununion), functional outcome, quality of life scores and muscle strength were seen as outcome indicators. Enumeration data were statistical analyzed by risk difference and 95% confidence interval. Measurement data were analyzed by standardized mean difference and 95% confidence interval. If the same measurement data were evaluated by different standards in different studies, standardized mean differences and 95% confidence interval were used. The methods of statistical analysis were used by Cochrane databases.

RESULTSEleven RCTs (677 patients) were included. Meta-analysis results indicated that bone substitutes augmentation combined with internal fixation occurred fewer re-displacement [SMD = -0.75, 95% CI (-1.03, -0.47)] and obtained better function [SMD = 0.40, 95% CI (0.20, 0.59)]. While there were no significant differences in reoperation rate [RD = 0.02, 95% CI (-0.05, -0.09)], pain at 1 week after operation [MD = -1.79, 95% CI (-13.55, -9.96)], pain ranged from 6 to 8 weeks [MD = -7.24, 95% CI (-20.07, -5.59)], postoperative pain at 12 weeks [MD = -0.32, 95% CI (-4.9, -3.55)], muscle strength [MD = 1.25, 95% CI (-6.98, -9.48)], bone ununion [RD = 0.02, 95% CI (-0.01, -0.05)] and postoperative complications [MD = 0.01, 95% CI (-0.03, -0.04)].

CONCLUSIONCompared with single internal fixation, bone substitutes augmentation combined with internal fixation for the treatment of proximal femoral fractures in the elderly less occur re-displacement and could obtain better functional recovery.

?AlM: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of posterior continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis ( PCCC ) combined with anterior vitrectomy in preventing posterior capsule opacification of congenital cataract surgery.
?METHODS:Postoperative clinical follow-up data of 82 cases ( 87 eyes ) with congenital cataract treated in Eye Center of our hospital from January 2011 to August 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were divided into the surgical control group ( 38 cases, 40 eyes, recieved phacoemulsification + PCCC ) and the study group ( 44 cases, 47 eyes, accepted phacoemulsification+ PCCC + anterior vitrectomy). The incidence of central optic axis opaque and postoperative visual acuity distribution were recorded at 1a follow - up. lntraoperative and postoperative complications were observed.
?RESULTS:The rate of central optic axis opaque grade 0 in control group was 37. 5%, compared to 76. 6% in study groups. The opacity distribution ratio of grade 1,2,3 and 4 in study group were lower than that of control group, and the central optic axis opacity distribution ratio in study group was significantly better than that of control group (P<0. 05). The 19 eyes(47. 5%) of visual acuity testing ≤0. 5 in control group , was higher than the 7 eyes(14. 89%) of that in the study group, The 21 eyes (52. 5%) of visual acuity testing >0. 5 in control group was lower than the 40 eyes ( 85. 11%) of that in study group. The visual acuity between two groups has statistical significance difference after 1a follow-up ( P<0. 05 ) , and the visual acuity in study group was significantly better than that in the control group. The postoperative intraocular pressure at 1mo and 1a follow-up was lower than before operation in two groups ( P<0. 05), but there was no significant difference between two groups in intraocular pressure (P<0. 05).
?CONCLUSlON: Combination of phacoemulsification, PCCC and anterior vitrectomy presents reliable clinical effects on postoperative central optic axis opacity distribution ratio and visual acuity, and it should be adopted to prevent the occurrence of posterior capsule opacification.

Objective To explore the changes of pathogens and antibiotic susceptibility in a respiratory ward.Methods All pathogens isolated from patients in a respiratory ward from 2001 to 2005 and the drug susceptibility results were retrospectively analyzed.For patients with more than 1 isolates of the same species, only the first strain of pathogen was included for analysis. The isolation and identification procedure was based on guidelines for national clinical laboratories.The susceptibility test was performed by disk diffusion method.WHONET 5.3 software was used for statistical analysis.Results A total of 876 strains were analyzed.The majority was gram negative bacteria.MRSA prevalence was 72.4% and showed a trend of increase.No vancomycin resistant Staphylococcus aureus or Enterococcus was detected.Streptococcus pneumoniae was highly resistant to macrolides.The non-sensitivity rate to penicillin was 25.5%-66.7% over years.The resistance rate to levofloxacin was 22.2%-27.3%.Enterobacter and Acinetobacter baumannii showed stable susceptibility to imipenem.ESBLs-producing Esche- richia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae accounted for 33.3%-38.9% and 14.3%-19.2% respectively.P.aeruginosa strains were relatively susceptible to ceftazidime, amikaein, cefoperazone-sulbactam, imipenem, piperacillin-tazobactam and cefepime. The sensitivity rate was 87%, 82.6%, 78.3%, 73.9%, 73.9% and 71.4% respectively in 2005.Conclusions The changes of pathogens and antibiotic resistance in the respiratory ward were consistent with the surveillance data in this country, which were influenced by underlying diseases, severity of illness and antibiotic use.Our data are useful for the guidance of rational use of antibiotics.

This study is to investigate the anti-tumor effect in vitro of methotrexate modified by LH-RH peptide (LH-RH-MTX). LH-RH receptors highly expressing MCF-7 human breast carcinoma cell line and lowly expressing K562 human erythroleukemia cell line were served as the tested cells. The cell proliferation inhibition rates of LH-RH-MTX were detected by MTT colorimetric assay. The effects of LH-RH-MTX on the cell cycle and apoptosis rates were detected by flow cytometry. The inhibition rate of LH-RH-MTX on MCF-7 cells was much higher than that on K562 cells, and the inhibition rate of LH-RH-MTX on MCF-7 cells was much higher than that of free MTX at the same concentration. The inhibition rate of LH-RH-MTX on rat bone marrow mononuclear cells was less than that of free MTX. The number of MCF-7 cells in S phase increased after administration of LH-RH-MTX. The apoptosis rate of LH-RH-MTX group significantly increased compared with that of the control group and MTX group. The relative expression of LHRHR mRNA of LH-RH-MTX group markedly decreased compared with that of the control group and MTX group. LH-RH-MTX is realizable to reduce drug side effects, increase the therapeutic index and achieve tumor-targeted therapy.

In order to investigate the antioxidant properties of the polysaccharides from the brown alga Sargassum fusiforme, the crude polysaccharides from S. fusiforme (SFPS) were extracted in hot water, and the lipid peroxidation inhibition assay exhibited that SFPS possessed a potential antioxidant activity. Hence, two purely polymeric fractions, SFPS-1 and SFPS-2 were isolated by the column of DEAE (2-diethylaminoethanol)-Sepharose Fast Flow, with their molecular weights of 51.4 and 30.3 kDa determined by high performance gel permeation chromatography (HPGPC). They were preliminarily characterized using chemical analysis in combination of infrared (IR) and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopies and found to contain large amounts of uronic acids and beta-glycosidical linkages. The antioxidant activities of these two SFPS fractions were evaluated using superoxide and hydroxyl radical-scavenging assays. The results show that the antioxidant ability of SFPS-2 was higher than that of SFPS-1, probably correlating with the molecular weight and uronic acid content.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of Qufeng Zhidong Recipe (QZR) on the head tic behavior, and the mRNA expressions of Notch1 and dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) in tic disordered mice.

METHODSMouse model like wet-dog shake head tic disorder was established by peritoneal injection of 5-HT2A/C agonist DOI for 14 successive days. The model mice were divided into three groups, the model group, the Chinese medicine (CM) treated group and the Western medicine (WM) treated group, they were intervened respectively with distilled water, QZR (10 g/kg) and haloperidol (1 mg/kg). Besides, a normal control group was set up and gastrogavaged with distilled water. The effect of intervention was evaluated 2 weeks later by estimating the head tic and the creeping distance of animals, and the mRNA expressions of D2R and Notch1 in corpus striatum and prefrontal cortex regions were detected using Real-time PCR.

RESULTSThe wet-dog shake response and the creeping distance of mice were significantly reduced after intervention in both intervened groups, showing insignificant difference between the effects of CM and WM (P > 0.05). The expression of D2R mRNA in corpus striatum was higher than that in the prefrontal cortex (P < 0.01), at the prefrontal cortex, it was 151 +/- 30 in the CM group and 180 +/- 41 in the WM group, and at the corpus striatum, 710 +/- 64 and 850 +/- 80 respectively, all higher than those in the model group (P < 0.05). While the Notch1 mRNA expression in model mice were lower at the prefrontal cortex than at the corpus striatum (P < 0.05). After intervention it was 55 +/- 20 in the CM group and 48 +/- 23 in the WM group at the prefrontal cortex, all significantly lower than that in the model group (P < 0.05).

CONCLUSIONDOI-induced wet-dog shake response could well simulate the clinical characteristics of tic disorder; QZR could improve the tic behavior and creeping distance in the model mice. The up-regulation of D2R mRNA expression after QZR intervention may be related with the down-regulation of Notch1 expression, this findings is worthy of further studies.
