ObjectiveTo investigate the changes of expression of intercellular adhesion molecule 1 (ICAM-1) on myocardial ischemic reperfusion injury(IRI) in old rats and the cardiac protective effect of Esmolol(ES). Methods116 rats were divided into three groups: IR group, IR+ES group and Sham group. The ischemic samples were observed in ischemia and 3,6,12,24 hours after IR. The myocardial levels of expression of ICAM-1 mRNA were evaluated by method of IN Situ Hybridization and the protein were evaluated by immunocytochemistry. The content of infiltration of polymorphonuclear neutrophils(PMNs), malomdialdehyde(MDA), superoxides dismutase(SOD) and the myocardial infarction area were measured too. ResultsAfter IR, myocardial levels of expression of ICAM-1 mRNA, protein,MDA and PMNs were increased significantly; SOD was decreased significantly. Between the levels of expression of ICAM-1 protein and PMNs, infarction area of myocardium, a close correlation were observed(P<0.05). In IR+ES group, all of the indicators were increased after IR, but the levels of increase in IR+ES group were more significantly modification as compared with IR group(P<0.05-0.01).Conclusions The findings indicate that PMNs could induce myocardial IRI after IR, which result from the ICAM-1 mediated PMNs adhesion.ES is able to decrease myocardial IRI by blocking the expression of ICAM-1 partially.

Objective To evaluate the analgesic efficacy of thoracic paravertebral block (PVB) in patients after lobectomy performed via video-assisted thoracoscope (VAT) .Methods Fifty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes aged 20-76 yr weighing 45-90 kg undergoing elective lobectomy via VAT were randomly divided into 2 groups (n = 25 each): patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) group and thoracic PVB group. PVB was performed according to the method described by Jamieson et al and Richardson et al. Paravertebral catheter was placed at T7-8 after induction of anesthesia and tracheal intubation. A loading dose of 0.5% ropivacaine 20 ml was administered via PVB catheter at 30 min before the end of operation. PVB was then controlled by the patients with 0.2% ropivacaine (bolus dose 8.0 ml, lockout interval 30 min). In PCIA group a loading dose of sufentanil 0.1 μg/kg was given iv at 30 mln before the end of operation. Sufentanil 1.0 μg/ml was used. PCIA included a bolus of 2 ml with a 15 min lockout interval and background infusion 2 ml/h. Numeric rating scale (NRS) (0=no pain, 10 = most severe pain) was used to assess the intensity of pain. NRS score, MAP, HR and SpO2 were recorded before operation (T0 ,baseline), 30 min after withdrawal of chest tube (Ti) and at 24, 48 and 72 h after operation (T2, T3, T4). Forced vital capacity (FVC) and forced expiratory volume first second (FEV1.0) were measured and FVC/FEV1.0 ratio was calculated after chest tube was withdrawn. Blood cortisone and glucose concentrations were determined at To, T1 and T4. Requirement for rescue analgesics and side effects were recorded. Results There was no significant difference in MAP, HR, SpO2 and NRS at rest between the 2 groups.NRS at coughing and blood cortisone and glucose concentrations were significantly lower and the postoperative FEV1.0 was significantly higher in PVB group than in PCIA group. The requirement for rescue analgesics and side effects were comparable between the 2 groups. Conclusion Thoracic PVB can provide better postoperative analgesia with little side effects.

Objective To observe the protective effect of?-asarone,the active components from Rhizoma Acori Tarinowii,on human umbilical venous endothelial cell strain ECV304 injury induced by oxidized low-density lipoprotein(ox-LDL)and to investigate its influence on proliferation of vascular smooth muscle cells(VSMC). Methods The well-grown ECV304 cells were randomized into 5 groups:normal group,control group,high-, middle-and low-dose?-asarone groups.Except the normal group,ECV in the other groups were co-cultured with ox-LDL 25?g/mL,and the?-asarone groups were additionally with?-asarone 30,15 and 7.5?g/mL added respectively.Flow cytometry was used to detect the cell apoptotic rate and the mitochondrial membrane potential (MMP)of ECV304 as well as the proliferation index and the DNA content in different cell phases of VSMC. Results In the model group,the apoptotic rate of ECV was increased,MMP was decreased,and VSMC proliferation was promoted(P

Objective To study the X-ray and CT representations of primary malignant lymphoma of bone.Methods X-ray and CT representations of primary malignant lympoma of bone in 27 cases proved by operation and pathology,combined with clinic manifestations,operation and pathology were analysed.Results The tumors located in vertebra were 14 cases(51.9%),in tubular bone were 9 cases(33.3%).The imaging findings included bone destroy in 85.7%,bone sclerosis in 7%;only 4 cases appeared light periosteous reaction;one case appeared multiple focuses.Conclusion When the dissolved bone destruction without periosteous reaction,presented soft tissue mass in vertebras or tubular bone are showed on X-ray films or CT,the possibility of bone lymphoma shonld be considered,but this neoplasm is lack of characteristic imaging features.

Objective To establish a simple, efficient and low-cost method for the detection of Salmonella typhimurium carrying SSeC gene. Methods In this study, a nano-biosensor ( FAM-P/GO) was successfully established based on the noncovalent assembly of carboxy-fluorescein ( FAM)-labeled probe and graphene oxide ( GO) . The target gene at different concentrations and SSeC gene-harbored bacterium sam-ples were detected by the FAM-P/GO nano-biosensor to evaluate its sensitivity. The specificity of the estab-lished nano-biosensor was evaluated by using DNAs with mismatched base pairs and single-stranded DNAs ( ssDNAs) extracted from various species. Results The established strategy for SSeC gene detection showed a good linear range of 0. 05-1. 0 μmol/L (R2=0. 992 1) with a lower limit of 0. 05 μmol/L. Moreover, the lower detection limit for target bacterium samples was 103 CFU/ml and the fluorescence intensity increased linearly with the concentration from 103 CFU/ml to 108 CFU/ml. The signal-to-noise ( S/N) of the experi-mental group was much greater than that of the control group, which indicated that the establish method was highly specific. Conclusion The FAM-P/GO nano-biosensor was successfully established in this study, which provided a new and possible way for the rapid detection of Salmonella typhimurium harboring SSeC gene.

OBJECTIVETo screen the relative genes associated with the genesis of kindling epilepsy and the effect of caoguo zhimu decoction (CZD) on these genes.

METHODSmRNA differential display reverse transcription PCR was used to screen differential gene bind, and Northern blotting hybridization was applied to exclude the false positive reaction.

RESULTSThere were as more as 110 differential expression bindings in the normal group, model group and the treated group, among them 11 binds with differential expression only appeared in the model group but not in the normal group and disappeared in the treated group. It indicated that the 11 genes are correlated with the genesis and treatment of kindling epilepsy. By searching in the Gene-bank of NCBI, 7 bindings of the 11 were homologous genes and 4 gene fragments are novel genes with unknown function, which have been registered at the Gene-bank, with the registered numbers of CK325391, CK325392, CK325393, CK325394, respectively, and false positive possibility of 3 novel genes was excluded.

CONCLUSIONCZD has effect in treating kindling epilepsy may be through influencing the expression of partial gene fragments in the hippocampus.
