Objective To observe of different facemask pressure controlled ventilation yongon gastric insufflation evaluated by ultrasound in infants during anesthesia induction.Methods Sixty ASA Ⅰ infants aged 1-3 yr,undergoing elective surgery,were randomly assigned to three groups ac-cording to facemask ventilation pressure:10 cm H 2 O (P10),1 5 cm H 2 O (P1 5 )and 20 cm H 2 O (P20)with twenty in each group.Infants were injected with propofol 2 mg/kg,fentanyl 0.002 mg/kg,cis-atracurium 0.1 5 mg/kg for general anesthesia induction until consciousness lost,then face-mask pressure controlled ventilation was applied for 120 s.Some respiratory parameters (SpO 2 , PET CO 2 )were recorded at the time of loss of consciousness (T0 )and after facemask pressure con-trolled ventilation for 30 s(T1 ),60 s(T2 ),90 s(T3 ),120 s(T4 )and after tracheal intubation(T5 ). The cross-sectional transverse and longitudinal diameter and area were measured respectively using ul-trasound at T0 and T4 .Results In all groups,SpO 2 was greater than or equal to 99% at all time points.PET CO 2 at T1-T5 was significantly higher than that at T0 and PET CO 2 at T5 was higher than that at T4 in all three groups.There were statistically significant increases in the values of the antral cross sectional area before and after facemask pressure controlled ventilation in group P20 (P <0.05). Conclusion During anesthesia induction in infants,1 5 cm H 2 O facemask ventilation pressure can guarantee adequate ventilation,and avoid gastric insufflation.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of aerobic exercise and glutamine (Gln) on anti-oxidative stress and inflammatory factors in type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2MD) rats. METHODS: Diabetic rat model was induced by streptozotocin (STZ). Fifty 6-week old male SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=10), including quiet control group (N), diabetes control group (D), diabetic aerobic exercise group (DE), diabetic glutamine group (DG) and diabetic aerobic exercise glutamine group (DEG). After 6 weeks, the related indicators of glucose and lipid metabolism, anti-oxidative stress and inflammatory factors in diabetic rats were detected, and the possible mechanism affecting inflammatory response were explored. RESULTS: Compared with group N, the levels of serum malondialdehyde(MDA), blood glucose, total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), insulin, leptin and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) in group D were increased significantly (P＜0.01). Compared with group D, serum levels of MDA, blood glucose, TC, TG, insulin, leptin and TNF-α in three intervention groups were decreased significantly, while the levels of SOD, GSH-Px and adiponectin were increased, and the combined effect was more obvious (P＜0.01). CONCLUSION Both aerobic exercise and Gln can relieve the glucose and lipid metabolism and disturbance, oxidative stress injury and inflammation in diabetic rats.

Objective To observe the effect of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) antibody on anti-GBM nephritis rats. Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into five groups: control group Ⅰ was a negative control and was injected with healthy human IgG via the caudal vein. Control group Ⅱ was injected with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to anti-GBM antibody only. Anti- GBM nephritis group was injected with human anti-GBM antibody via the caudal vein only. Intervention group Ⅰ was injected with human anti-GBM antibody via the caudal vein and then with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to anti-GBM antibody at day 7. Intervention group Ⅱ was injected with human antiGBM antibody via the caudal vein and then with neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to anti-GBM antibody at day 14. The blood, urine and kidney tissue were collected at day 7, 14, 21 for analysis of 24-hour urinary protein, BUN, Ser and histological study. Results At day 21, there were significant decreases in intervention group Ⅰ compared with anti-GBM nephritis group in 24-hour proteinuria [(16.62±5.53) g], BUN[(11.53±2.26) mmol/L] and Scr [(102.46±16.86) μmol/L] (P＜0.05), and also in intervention group Ⅱ as compared to anti-GBM nephritis group, but no significant difference was found (P＞0.05) . There was obvious decrease of renal cell proliferation,crescent formation and deposition of immune complexes in intervention group Ⅰ and intervention group Ⅱ compared with anti-GBM nephritis group, while such improvement in intervention group Ⅰ was more significant. There was no significant change in control group Ⅰ and control group Ⅱ.Conclusion The early application of neutralizing monoclonal antibodies to anti-GBM antibodies can effectively improve the kidney lesions of anti-GBM nephritis rats.

Objective To investigate the impact on fertility potential of patients with stage Ⅰ endometriosis treated by gonadotropin-releasing hormone agonist (GnRH-a) treatment followed by laparoscopy surgery.Methods From Jan.2006 to Jun.2008, medical documents of 102 patients with minimal or mild endometriosis (stage Ⅰ) treated by laparoscopy and hysteroscopy surgery and excluded the other causes of infertility were reviewed retrospectively in Peking University People's Hospital.The pelvic endometriosis teisions were destructed by electric burning.Those patients were divided into GnRH-a treatment group(n = 60) and non-GnRH-a treatment group(n = 42) after surgery.The patients in GnRH-a treatment group were administered by GnRH-a injection once or twice after surgery, in the mean time, no adjuvant therapy were given for the patients in the other group.All the patients were followed-up for 24 months after surgery to evaluate the effect of postoperative GnRH-a treatment on pregnancy outcome and fertility potential(number of pregnancy per 100 women in one month, expressed as percentage).Results The total pregnancy rate of 78% (47/60) in GnRH-a treatment group is significantly higher than 55% (23/42) in non-GnRH-a treatment group(P =0.012).There is no significant difference in spontaneous abortion rate between the GnRH-a treatment group and non GnRH-a treatment group(19% vs.13%, P = 0.465).The fecundity rate of were 6.17% in GnRH-a treatment group and 3.26% in non-GnRH-a treatment group, which the relative risk is 1.9 (95% CI: 1.1-3.0).Conclusion Low-dose GnRH-a treatment after laparuscopy can improve the pregnancy rate and fertility potential of patients with stage Ⅰ endometriosis.

Objective To identify the glycometabolism features ofC57BL/Ksj db/+ mice at gestational period and provide the evidence for the mice used as the animal model of gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM).Methods Ten C57BL/Ksj db/+ female mice and ten wild female mice were randomly selected and mated with wild male mice respectively.Day 3 before mating,days 6,11 and 17 of pregnancy,and day 6 after delivery represented pre pregnancy,early-pregnancy,mid-pregnancy,late-pregnancy and post-pregnancy periods,respectively.The levels of glucose tolerance and fasting insulin of female mice were compared at progestation,different gestational periods and puerperium between the two groups.Days 6,11,14,17 and 20 (before labor) of pregnancy served as five time-points of pregnancy,leptin levels of female mice of the two groups were dynamically monitored during pregnancy,and analyzed at different gestational ages.The data were analyzed by Tukey test of one-way ANOVA.Results (1) Compared with the normal pregnant mice,the levels of glucose tolerance of C57BL/Ksj db/+ female mice were significantly decreased,while the levels of fasting insulin were dramatically increased with the progression of pregnancy [day 6 of pregnancy,(8.6 ± 0.6) mU/L vs (7.5 ±1.1) mU/L; day 11 of pregnancy,(9.8±0.6) mU/L vs (8.5± 1.1) mU/L; day 17 of pregnancy,(10.4±0.8) mU/L vs (9.9±0.5) mU/L; t=1.859,4.056 and 3.078,P=0.085,0.000 and 0.000] and recovered to the pre-pregnancy level after delivery.(2) The level of leptin in serum of C57BL/Ksj db/+ pregnant mice was significantly higher than that at non-pregnant period [pre-pregnancy and days 6,11,14,17 and 20 of pregnancy:(911.0±238.8) ng/L,(1 342.2± 132.3) ng/L,(1 821.9±238.2) ng/L,(1 816.3± 142.3) ng/L,(1 752.4± 126.6) ng/L,and (1 926.4±61.6) ng/L,respectively; t=3.887,8.210,8.161,7.585 and 9.153,P=0.005,0.000,0.000,0.000 and 0.000],but showed no apparent change with the gestational ages after mid-gestation.Conclusion Changes of glycometabolism and the levels of leptin and insulin of C57BL/Ksj db/+ pregnant mice during pregnancy are similar to those of GDM patients,the levels of fasting insulin are dramatically increased with the progression of pregnancy,and return to normal after delivery,the level of leptin is higher than that at non-pregnant period,but is not correlated with the gestational ages.C57BL/Ksj db/+ pregnant mice can be used as the animal model of GDM.

Objective The aim of the study is to detect the expression of IGF -1R and IRS-1 in squa-mous cell lung cancer ( SQCLC) and to explore the role in the development of squamous cell lung cancer and clini -cal significance .Methods Specimens from 246 surgical SQCLC and 40 adjacent normal lung tissues were evalu-ated for IGF-1R and IRS-1 expression by immunohistochemistry .We explored the correlation between IGF -1R and IRS-1,their relationship with clinicopathological parameters and their impact on outcome in SQCLC pa -tients.Results SQCLC of IGF -1R positive expression rate was 54.07%,which was higher than in adjacent normal tissue(32.5%),SQCLC of IRS-1 positive expression rate was 38.21%,which was lower than in adja-cent normal tissue(70%),the pairwise difference was statistically significant (P<0.05);Expression of IGF-1R was correlated with lymph node metastasis (P<0.05),IRS-1 expression was related with degree of differentia-tion and lymph node metastasis (P<0.05).Survival of IGF -1R expression group of patients was significantly shorter than the expression of IGF -1R negative patients ,the survival of the IRS-1 expression was significantly longer than patients who negatively expressed IRS -1,the difference was statistically significant (P=<0.001 and=0.021).IGF-1R was negatively correlated with IRS -1 expression in SQCLC(r=-0.125,P<0.001). Conclusion IGF-1R,IRS-1 are involved in the occurrence of SQCLC ,the development .The IGF-1R is an independent prognostic factor in SQCLC .

Background:Accumulating evidence links colorectal cancer (CRC) with the gut microbiota.Fusobacterium nucleatum (F.nucleatum) has been revealed to be involved in the development of CRC, however, the mechanism of F.nucleatum in mediating colorectal tumorigenesis is still poorly understood.Aims:To investigate the effect and potential mechanism of F.nucleatum on CRC.Methods:Wild type C57BL/6 mice and APC(Min/+) mice characterized by multiple intestinal neoplasia were used in this animal study.After administered with F.nucleatum intragastrically and/or 1,2-dimethylhydrazine (DMH, a carcinogen) subcutaneously, the aberrant crypt foci (ACF) and colonic tumor were counted at 8th and 20th week, respectively.Structural alteration of intestinal microbiota and mucosal immune factors were detected in wild type C57BL/6 mice receiving different interventions by using Roche 454 GS FLX pyrosequencing and Bio-Plex ProTM cytokine assay, respectively.Results:In DMH-treated wild type C57BL/6 mice or APC(Min/+) mice, number of ACF and colonic tumor in those administered with F.nucleatum were significantly higher than those without (P<0.05).F.nucleatum colonization significantly altered the lumen microbial structure, with decreased Cyanobacterium and increased Tenericutes and Verrucomicrobia (P all <0.05).Furthermore, F.nucleatum up-regulated expressions of tumor-related immune factors in colonic mucosa, such as IL-21, IL-22, IL-31 and CD40L (P<0.05).Conclusions:F.nucleatum colonization in intestine may prompt colonic tumorigenesis in mice via inducing intestinal dysbiosis and modulating tumor-related immune factors expression.

Objective To study the alternations of regulatory T cells in early HIV infected patients and its association with disease progression.Methods Fifty-one untreated HIV infected patients were enrolled and divided into 3 groups according to their infection time and CD+4 T cell levels(30 early HIV infected patients,15 typical progressors,6 AIDS patients).Twenty normal controls were enrolled.There were no significant differences between the age and sex among four groups.Blood was drawn by venipuncture from each subject in EDTA tubes and the levels of CD+4 CD+25 Foxp3 + regulatory T cells were detected by FACSAria flow-cytometry.Spearman correlation was used to detect association between CD+4 CD+25 Foxp3 + regulatory T cells and the absolute CD+4 T cells,viral load and activation of T cells.Results The levels of CD+4 CD+25Foxp3+ regulatory T cells showed the tendency of increasing tendency from normal control to early HIV infected patients,asymptomatic HIV infected patients and AIDS patients.Early HIV infected patients was significantly lower than that in AIDS group [3.79(2.11 - 5.43) % vs 8.09(4.90 - 8.90) %,Z = - 2.29,P = 0.022].The levels of CD+4 CD+25 Foxp3 + Treg cells were associated with viral set point(r = 0.479,P =0.038) and inversely associated with CD+4 T cells(r = -0.455,P =0.011) and closely associated with HLA-DR expression on CD+3 T cells(r = 0.533,P = 0.002).Conclusions The ratio of CD+4 CD+25 Foxp3 +regulatory T cells of early HIV infected patients was significantly increased and associated with viral set point and CD+4 T cell counts,which indicate that alternation of regulatory T cell may be an important factor contributing to the disease progression in early HIV infection.

The aim of this study is to prepare hyaluronic acid (HA) modified core-shell liponanoparticles (pHA-LCS-NPs) as gene delivery system and investigate its gene transfection efficiency in human retinal pigment epithelium (ARPE-19) cells in vitro. The pHA-LCS-NPs was prepared by firstly hydrating dry lipid film with CS-NPs suspension to get LCS-NPs, then modifying the lipid bilayer with HA by amidation reaction between HA and dioleoyl phosphatidylethanolamine (DOPE). Its morphology, particle size and zeta potential were investigated. XTT assay was used to evaluate the cell safety of different vectors in vitro. The gene transfection efficiency of pHA-LCS-NPs modified with different contents of HA was investigated in ARPE-19 cells with green fluorescent protein (pEGFP) as the reporter gene. The results showed that the obtained pHA-LCS-NPs exhibited a clear core-shell structure with the average particles size of (214.9 +/- 7.2) nm and zeta potential of (-35 +/- 3.7) mV. The 24 h cumulative release of gene from pHA-LCS-NPs was less than 30%. After 48 h incubation, gene transfection efficiency of pHA-LCS-NPs/pEGFP was 1.81 times and 3.75 times higher than that of CS-NPs/pEGFP and naked pEGFP, respectively. Also no obvious cytotoxicity was observed on pHA-LCS-NPs. It suggested that the pHA-LCS-NPs might be promising non-viral gene delivery systems with high efficiency and low cytotoxicity.
