AIM:To study the expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9),matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) and the tissue inhibitor of metalloproteinase(TIMP-1) in the lung tissue of the hypercapnia rat.METHODS:Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into a control group (group A,n=20) and hypercapnia group (group B,n=20). Group B received mix gas exposure (6% CO_2,21% O_2,72% N_2) 7 h daily for 4 weeks. The parameters we would examine were as follow:arterial blood gas;the mean pulmonary artery pressure;MMP-2,MMP-9,TIMP-1,and NE activity in lung tissue. Masson pigmentation of elasticity fibre was analyzed by computer image analyzer. Histopathological changes of lung tissue were observed under light microscope. The protein expression of MMP (MMP-2,MMP-9) and TIMP (TIMP-1) in lung tissue were determined by immunocytochemistry.RESULTS:Decompensate respiratory acidosis (pH=7.20±0.04,PaCO_2=7.84±0.15) developed in group B. The mean pulmonary artery pressure were similar between groups B and A (P>0.05). Tissue edema in the lung,endothelial cell damage of the small blood vessels,pulmonary micro thrombus formations and increased pulmonary capillary permeability were observed in group B. NE activity increased significantly (P<0.01). However,no significant change of MMP-2,MMP-9,TIMP-1 activity was found in group B and group A (P>0.05). There was significant decrease in the relative content of elasticity fibre in lung tissue in group B compared to group A (P<0.01). The expression of MMP-2 protein in the lung tissue of group B was lower than that in group A (P<0.01),but the expression of both MMP-9 and TIMP-1 proteins in the lung tissue in group B were higher than those in group A (P<0.01).CONCLUSION:Hypercapnia rat model is successfully reproduced by exposure of animals to the mix gas exposure (6% CO_2,21% O_2,and 72% N_2). The pulmonary artery pressure is not affected by hypercapnia. High concentration of CO_2 causes increase of NE activity and decrease in the relative content of elasticity fibre. High concentration of CO_2 causes the increase of MMP-2 protein expression and decrease in the MMP-9 and TIMP-1 protein expression.

Objective To investigate the correlation between developmental function and pathological behavior in children with autism. Methods A total of 154 children with autism were tested with Revised Chinese Version Psycho-Educational Profile (C-PEP) during 2011 to 2014. Results The scores of fine movement, hand-eye coordination, and oral language of developmental function were lower in the girls than in the boys (t>2.120, P<0.05). Among the children with autism aged 2-7 years, the developmental function was better in the older group than in the younger group (P<0.05);however, it was not better in the children aged 8-10 years and>10 years than in those aged 6-7 years. There was no difference in the scores of pathological behavior between the girls and the boys (P>0.05). Some pathological behaviors were milder in the older group than in the younger group (P<0.05). The scores ofP(pass) in developmental function were positively correlated with the scores ofA(absence) in pathological behavior (P<0.01), and negatively correlated with the scores ofS(severe) in pathological behavior (P<0.01). The scores ofF(fail) in developmental function were negatively correlated with the scores ofA(absence) in patho-logical behavior (P<0.01), and positively correlated with the scores ofS(severe) in pathological behavior (P<0.01). Conclusion Develop-mental function of children with autism is highly correlated with pathological behavior, and the rehabilitation and education of children with autism aged above 7 years should be concerned.

Objective To investigate the application of PKH26 fluorescent labeling on nucleus pulposus cells isolat-ed from bovine coccyx disc, and to provide nucleus pulposus tissue engineering with traceable nucleus pulposus cells by PKH26 fluorescence labelling. Methods Nucleus pulposus primary cells were isolated from the nucleus pulposus tissue de-tached from bovine coccyx disc by enzymatic digestion, and observed under the inverted microscope. Safranin O, toluidine blue and type Ⅱ collagen immunocytochemistry methods used to stain for passage one generation cells. Nucleus pulposus cells were labeled with PKH26 fluorescence in accordance with the instructions. The cell activity, fluorescence intensity at d0, d14 and d28 of culture, characteristics of proliferation and the expression of gene in labeled cells were assessed. Re-sults Isolated nucleus pulposus cells amounted to (1.56 ± 0.35) × 106/g. Under the inverted microscope, primary cells ad-hered at the 4 th day of culture, grew in groups, and covered the bottom of culture flask at the 13 th day. Both primary cells and the P1 generation cells were chondrocyte-like morphology. The staining of safranin O, toluidine blue and typeⅡcolla-gen immunocytochemistry for P1 generation of nucleus pulposus cells showed positive results. The cell activity before and af-ter PKH26 labeling showed more than 95%, and the fluorescence intensity at d0, d14 and d28 performed a decreasing trend, but still showed detect strong fluorescence at d28. There were no significant differences in proliferation and the expression of gene (collagen typeⅠandⅡ, aggrecan) before and after cell labeling (P>0.05). Conclusion As the seed cells of tissue en-gineering, nucleus pulposus cells isolated from bovine coccyx can reach a satisfactory number and maintain cartilage-like phenotype, and no changes shown in the biological characteristics after labeling. PKH26 labeled nucleus pulposus cells are suitable for the traceable cells in vivo study.
