Objective To investigate the infectious features of rubella virus (RV) JR 23 strain in central nervous system (CNS). Methods RV JR 23 strain infected human primary cerebral neural cell culture in vitro and Balb/c mice, which were given dexamethasone and cytoxan before infection, via peritoneal injection. Viral pathogenecity was observed postinfection and RV antigens were detected in human cerebral neural cells by IFA and immunohistochemical method. Cerebral tissues were observed by HE staining and ABC methods postinfection.Results JR 23 strain didn't produce cytopathic effect (CPE). The proliferation of JR 23 strain reached highest titer of 10 3TCID 50 /ml at 72 h postinfection and decreased gradually. RV antigens were positive in cerebral neural cells, especially around the nuclei. Focal cytopathic areas were observed in cerebral cortical area and so did neuron necrosis around by gliacytes formed stellitorsis, neuronophagia and glial nodule. RV antigens could be seen in all cerebral area, but most localized in cortical area. Pathological features were basically the same among the infected groups. The infection rates of de xamethasone, cytoxan group and the group without intervention were 60%、90% and 50%, repectively. Conclusion RV JR 23 strain is not cytocidal to human neural cells and the pathological lesions induced by JR 23 strain in CNS of mice are mainly focal or dotted neuron necrosis.

Objective To observe the clinical effects of irbesartan combined with ambrette capsule for treatment of mild-to-moderate proteinuria in type 2 diabetic nephropathy. Methods Foutty-six patients with diabetic nephropathy( DN),who meet the diagnostic criteria for diabetes and DN diagnostic criteria which WHO promulgated in 1999 years,were randomly divided into control group(n =23)and treatment group(n =23) . Patients in control group were administrated conventional hypoglycemic drugs,lipid,calcium antagonists step-down and diet control,while in treatment group were administrated irbesartan(75 mg,1 times/d)combined with ambrette capsule(5 pills,3 times/d)on this basis. Both the treatment duration was 8 weeks. Urine protein,blood urea nitrogen( BUN),serum creatinine( SCr)and C reactive protein( CRP)were measured respectively before treatment and 8 weeks after treatment. Results After 8 weeks treatment,the total effective rate in treatment group was 87. 0%(20/23),higher than that of control group(52. 2%(12/23);χ2 =6. 571,P﹤0. 05). The CRP had decreased significantly in treatment group( from( 11. 7 ± 0. 9 ) mg/L to( 5. 8 ± 0. 3 ) mg/L ) which compared with control group(from(10. 1 ± 0. 6)mg/Lto(9. 8 ± 0. 4)mg/L;P﹤0. 05). But BUN and SCr had no significant difference compared with pre-treatment( P ﹥ 0. 05 ). Conclusion Irbesartan combine with ambrette capsule can significantly decrease the urine protein and regulate on the micro-inflammatory state. It is worthy of popularization and application.

BACKGROUND: Human placenta is a stable source for human amniotic epithelial cells, which is becoming a cellsource in the regenerative medicine that attracts widespread attentions.OBJECTIVE: To establish the method of isolation, culture, and adipogenic, chondric and osteogenic differentiationof human amniotic epithelial cells. METHODS: Trypsin-EDTA digestion was used to isolate human amniotic epithelial cells from human amnion tissue,which were then cultured and identified in vitro. The growth curve of the cells was observed in 12 days. Passage 1human amniotic epithelial cells were induced to differentiate into adipocytes, chondrocytes and osteoblasts, andconventional cultured cells were used as controls. After 16 days induction, oil red O, Masson and alkaline phosphatesstaining methods were carried out, and adipogenic transcription factor, type Ⅱ collagen, osteopontin, alkalinephosphatase mRNA expressions were detected using real-time fluorescene quantitative PCR.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Human amniotic epithelial cells were successfully obtained from human amnion tissue.Immunofluorescence data showed the expression of epithelial cell surface marker CK19. Passage 1 cells had a strongability to divide and proliferate. Compared with passage 1 ones, passage 2 cells showed a slight decrease in proliferationability, and the proliferation ability of passage 3 cells was the worst. Red lipid droplets, brilliant blue cartilage matrix andreddish brown calcium nodes were detected by oil red O, Masson and alkaline phosphates staining after adipogenic,chondrogenic and osteogenic differentiation, respectively. With the time prolonged, the expressions of adipogenictranscription factor, type Ⅱ collagen, osteopontin and alkaline phosphatase mRNA were increased. These resultsdemonstrated that human amniotic epithelial cells could be isolated from human amniotic membrane by enzymedigestion method, and these amniotic epithelial cells could be induced to differentiate into differentiate into adipocytes,chondrocytes and osteoblasts.

The liquid-chromatography-mass technology was used in the metabolomic analysis of mouse's blood 1 hour after exhaustive exercise,in order to explore the potential mechanism of Rhodiola in fatigue elimination of exhaustive exercise mouse.The exhaustive mouse model was made by loaded-swimming.A total of 24 mice were randomly divided into theRhodiola + exercise group,exercise group andno-exercise group.The dose of Rhodiola was 0.4375 g·kg-1·d-1.The loaded-swimming was conducted after two successive weeks of medication.Blood was collected 1 h after swimming for the sample preparation.The enzyme assay and anthrone colorimetry were used to test blood lactate acid and glucose,respectively.UFLC-Q-TOF was used to detect metabolic profiles of each group.The principal component analysis (PCA),orthogonal partial least squares discriminant analysis (OPLS-DA) and heat map analysis were used to compare differences among groups with score chart and to obtain the characteristics biomarkers by load chart.The results showed that the blood lactate acid level of theRhodiola+ exercise group was significantly lower than that of theexercise group.And the glucose level of theRhodiola+ exercise group was significantly higher than that of theexercise group.The metabolomic analysis showed that there were no obvious changes on 1,25-(OH)2D3,diacylglycerol (DG) and inositol triphosphate (IP3).All three materials in theRhodiola + exercise group were significantly lower than those of theexercise group.They were much closer to theno-exercise group.And all three materials were related to the increasing of muscle tension.It was concluded that Rhodiola had the function of promoting fatigue eliminating.This effect may be related to cell membrane protection,regulation of 1,25-(OH)2-D3→IP3,DG pathway,and relieving of muscle tension after exercises.

Objective To investigate the status of nutritional risk and clinical outcome in children hospitalized in the general surgical department, which can provide basis for clinical nutritional support and selecting the screening tool. Methods Nutritional risk screening was performed on 506 children hospitalized in the general surgical department by using the Paediatric Yorkhill Malnutrition Score (PYMS). The data on incidence of complications, parenteral nutritional support during hospitalization, length of hospital stay and total hospital expenses were recorded. Results Of the 506 cases, 64.6%(327/506) had low nutritional risk, 27.1%(137/506) had moderate nutritional risk, and 8.3%(42/506) had high nutritional risk. Hepatic and gall diseases were the most common types of moderate nutritional risk (55.2%, 16/29), intestinal obstruction were the most common types of high nutritional risk (23.1%, 6/26). The incidence of complications, parenteral nutritional support during hospitalization, length of hospital stay and total hospital expenses were 10.2%(14/137), 21.9%(30/137), (9.54±4.95) d, (6 899.13±3 281.18) yuan RMB and 21.4%(9/42), 35.7%(15/42), (10.60±7.25) d, (7 521.64±6 026.23) yuan RMB in moderate or high nutritional risk children, and 0.9%(3/327), 3.1%(10/327), (17.17 ± 4.17) d, (4 691.96 ± 3 114.43) yuan RMB in low nutritional risk children, and there were significant differences (χ2/F=18.665-64.554, P<0.05). Conclusions Moderate or high nutritional risk is seen in children hospitalized in the surgical department. High nutritional risk score is correlated with adverse clinical outcome. PYMS can be used for nutritional risk screening in hospitalized children.
