Objective To explore the structure and type of sugar chain in 33 500 pro-nucleating protein, and its role in gallstone formation. Methods The 33 500 vesicular protein was examined by dot-immunobinding assay of lectin coupled to a peroxidase (HRP-DSA,HRP-ConA,HRP-WGA). The morphology of biliary vesicles was observed under transmission electron microscopy in process of massive vesicular aggregation, culmination and crystal formation. The protein and its enzymatic deglycosylation fractions nucleation promoting activity were detected by cholesterol crystal growth assay. Results 33 500 vesicular protein with multiantennary and complicated glycan displayed apparent potency of nucleation promotion, which clearly reflected by HRP-DSA immunobinding, and derived crystal growth curve indices. It, Ig, Ic were presented as 0.57, 1.52, 1.63 respectively, but after treated by N-glycanase enzyme, no promoting activity was found. Conclusions Our data suggest the sugar chain play an important role in pro-nucleating process, and may be involved in the gallstone formation.

ObjectiveTo study the fluoride level of preschool children influenced by fluoride toothpaste. MethodsAbout 200 children aged 3~6 years old were involved in the test. The children of test group were given fluoride toothpaste while the children of control group were given non-fluoride toothpaste. After two months, hair samples were gasified by high temperature and were tested with fluoride-specific electrode. Urinary fluoride concentration and 24h urinary fluoride excretion were also conducted by using fluoride-specific electrode.ResultsIt shows that the 24h urinary fluoride excretion and the fluoride concentration in hair and urine of children in control group were apparently lower than those of children in test group.ConclusionFluoride toothpastes used by preschool children may result in the change of fluoride level in their bodies under the stability of their daily habits and living cir cumstances. Age is likely to be one of the facts that can influence the fluoride ingestion level.

Objective To investigate the effects of electrical stimulation on the expression of vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)mRNA and receptor FLK 1/KDR in a ischemic model of rat hindlimb. Methods The model of hindlimb ischemia on the right side was established by ligation of the superficial femoral artery in 10 rats. The rats were then randomized into an experimental group and a control group. The rats in the experimental group were intervened with electrical stimulation ( 25 Hz, 0.1 V) on the tibialis anterior (TA) of the right side, while those in the control group were not. RT PCR and immunohistological methods were used to detect the expressions of VEGF mRNA and protein in TA muscles. FLK 1/KDR was detected by means of Western blot and immunofluorescence. Results After 7 days of continuous stimulation, there was a significant increase in blood flow within the muscle. VEGF mRNA and VEGF protein had 4 fold and 2 fold increases, respectively, in the stimulated TA muscles as compared to the control(2.58 vs 0.93, 0.48 vs 0.24, P

OBJECTIVE: To establish a rapid and precise detective method of 33.5 kd vesicular protein and to screen an effective treatment of cholelithiasis. METHODS: Specific antibody of the biliary vesicular protein was obtained by immunizing rabbits and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) kit was developed. The concentrations of 33.5 kd vesicular protein in serum and bile of gallstone patients and control were examined respectively. The effects of Cholagogue Dry Syrup and Eulektrol Capsule on decreasing 33.5 kd vesicular protein were also studied by ELISA kit. RESULTS: One-step ELISA equation was Y=0.035 X (r=0.99). The vesicular protein concentrations in serum and bile of cholesterol gallstone group [(179.8+/-97.9) mg/L and (213.4+/-70.1) mg/L respectively] were significantly (P<0.05) higher than in the pigment stone group and control. Data showed that, with 2-week administration, Cholagogue Dry Syrup significantly decreased both biliary and serum 33.5 kd vesicular protein of cholesterol gallstone patients, while Eulekrol Capsule and control groups didn't have the same results. CONCLUSION: The concentrations of 33.5 kd protein are different in cholesterol gallstone patients and healthy groups which might be related to cholesterol nucleation process. Cholagogue Dry Syrup is of cholagogic and litholytic effect by decreasing biliary lithogenesis.

Objective To explore the curative effect of modified closed negative pressure drainage on abnormal abdominal incision. Methods Sity-three patients with abnormal healing of abdominal incision in our hospital from January 2012 to June 2013 were selected as the observation group. Another 50 patients from January to December 2011 were assigned to the control group. The former was treated after debridement with human recombinant surface growth factor and modified closed negative pressure drainage,while the latter after debridement with anti-infection and dressings of ethacridine or gentamicinsolution as well as with infrared therapy. The two groups were compared in terms of the frequency,time and cost of changed dressings,and the healing time of the incisions.Results There was insignificant difference in the cost of changed dressings between the two groups(P>0.05). However,the differences were statistically significant in terms of the frequency and time of changed dressings and the healing time of the incisions(P<0.05). The observation group was significantly superior to the control group.Conclusions Modified closed negative pressure drainage is effective in accelerating the healing in abnormal abdominal incisions,reducing the frequency and the time of changed dressings,and easing the economic burdens of the patients,which is suggested to be popularized and applicable in the pimary hospitals.

AIM To examine the effects of the APP17-mer peptide against A? 25-35 -induced apoptosis and gain some insight into the neuroprotective mechanism of the APP17-mer peptide. METHODS Protective effects of APP17-mer peptide against A? 25-35 -induced apoptosis in SH-SY5Y cell was proved by cell morphology, LM-PCR DNA ladder assay and FCM assay. The antiapoptotic mechanism of APP17-mer peptide was investigated using the MTT assay to measure mitochondrial energy redox state, using the fluorescent probe DCF-DA?Rhodamine 123 to measure relative levels of cellular peroxides and mitochondrial membrane potential and using Western blot for AIF and NF-?B to detect the expression of AIF and NF-?B. RESULTS Damage of cell morphology was ameliorated by pretreating with APP17-mer peptide. The apoptotic rate of the SH-SY5Y cells exposed to A? 25-35 in the presence of APP17-mer peptide decreased from 63.75% to 28.25%. Exposure of SH-SY5Y to A? 25-35 for 48 h resulted in an increase in DCF-DA fluorescence,a decrease in Rhodamine 123 fluorescence and MTT reduction, the results were weakened by pre-incubating with APP17-mer peptide for 30 minutes. Treatment of cells with APP17-mer peptide resulted in a significant attenuation in the expression of AIF and a strong increase in the expression of NF-?B. CONCLUSION APP17-mer is protective against cell apoptosis induced by A? 25-35 by provoking and sustaining upregulation of a key antiapoptotic transcription factor NF-?B, by suppressing oxyradical production and by preserving mitochondrial function and inhibiting the release of apoptotic protein from mitochondria.
