Objective:To explore the expression of MIP-1? during healing of skin incised wound and the applicability of time-dependent expressions of MIP-1? to determination of wound age. Methods:An incised wound was made in the dorsal skin of mouse. Immunohistochemical and image-analysis techniques were employed in vital skin wounds 1h~14d after incision and postmortem incision 0.5~6h after death, and the non-incised mouse skin was used as contro1.Results:In the vital skin incisions,expression of MIP-1? began at 6h after incision,which increased subsequently,and peaked at 3d.The quantity of MIP-1?expression decreased and minimized in the specimens aged 14 days. In the non-wounded groups and postmortem incision groups MIP-1? was only detected as weak expression in the epidermic cells,sweat gland cells and endothelial cells. Conclusion:The time-dependent expression of MIP-1?during healing of skin incised wound may be used as a useful reference marker.

Objective The purpose of this study was to investigate the relationship of p185 and p53 protein overexpression with pathological types and recurrence.Antibodies against p185 and p53 proteins were used to measure expression of these proteins in the nuclei or cell membrane of cells from sections of the giant cell tumor of bone GCT.It showed that 11 out of 52 tumors overexpressed p185 protein and 14 out of 52 tumors had abnormally high levels of p53 protein,4 cases had abnormally high levels of both p185 and p53 proteins,positive expression rates of p185 and p53 in cases with recurrence and cases without reccarrence were 46 2%,20 5% and 38 5%,15 4% respectively.However,there was no association between p185 and p53-positive cases and pathological degree.There was significant correlation between the expression of p185 and p53 protein in the giant cell tumor of bone and recurrence.(? 2=6 125,P=0 047).However,there was no statitically significance between the expression of p185 and p53 protein in the giant cell tumor of bone and pathological types.So that,we consider that the clinical significance for p185,p53 overexpression in GCT to be researched further.

Objective To observe the effect of enhanced extracorporeal counterpulsation (EECP) on intraocular pressure (IOP). Methods 25 patients were measured their IOP bilaterally with Schoitz tonometer before and after EECP. Results The IOP decreased in both left and right eyes after EECP (P<0.01). Conclusion EECP can reduce intraocular pressure.

Objective:To establish the content determination method of the main alkaloids protopine and tetrahydropalmatine in Corydalis decumbens (Thunb.) Pers. Methods: HPLC was used to determinate the main alkaloids protopine and tetrahydropalmatine in Corydalis decumbene (Thunb.) Pers. Supelcosil LC 18 DB Column was used, mobile phase consisted of Methol NaAc/HAc(75∶25 pH5.0) and detection wavelength at UV 285 nm. Results: Linearity of this method was good with the average recoveries, 98.04% and 99.63%. Conclusion: This method is accurate, reliable with good separability and reproducibility, it can be applied as standard for the control of Corydalis decumbens (Thunb.) Pers.

OBJECTIVE: To study the pulmonary function and nasal resistance characteristics of patients with chronic nose-sinusitis and nasal polyps (CRSwNP), to explore the evaluation role of nasal resistance in nasal ventilation function and the effect of endoscopic sinus surgery on pulmonary function in patients with CRSwNP. METHOD: Fifty CRSwNP patients that met the study criteria were selected . The patients were performed endoscopic surgeries according to Messerklinger surgical procedures under general anesthesia. Extent of surgery was based on preoperative CT showing the range of the lesion of disease and endoscopic findings. Perioperative treatments contained intranasal corticosteroids, cephalosporin or penicillin antibiotics, nasal irrigation and other treatments. Main outcome measures included visual analog scale (VAS), endoscopic Lind-Kennedy scores, nasal resistence, pulmonary function in patientsone week before and after surgery, three months and six months after surgery. Pulmonary function includes forced expiratory volume in one second (FEV1), forced vital capacity FEV1/FVC and peak expiratory flow (PEF). RESULT: The study found that there were significantly positive correlations among VAS score, Lund-Kennedy score and nasal resistance (P < 0.05) in CRSwNP patients, but there is a significantly negative correlation between VAS score, Lund-Kennedy score, nasal resistance and pulmonary function indexes of FEV1, FVC and PEF (P < 0.05). The VAS score, Lund-Kennedy score and nasal resistance values of CRSwNP patients were decreased significantly after comprehensive treatments with nasal endoscopic operation as the major one, the difference was statistically different (P < 0.05). And the pulmonary function indexs (FEV1, FVC, PEF) were significantly increased after surgery in CRSwNP patients. CONCLUSION The nasal resistance can objectively and reliably reflect the degree of nasal congestion and the recovery of nasal function in CRSwNP patients after endoscopic sinus surgery. The detection method of nasal resistance is simple. Functional endoscopic sinus surgery can effectively improve the pulmonary ventilation function in CRSwNP patients, providing some clinical references about the prevention and treatment of CRS related lower respiratory disease.

New antibiotics with novel modes of action and structures are urgently needed to combat the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria. Bacterial signal peptidase I (SPase I) is an indispensable enzyme responsible for cleaving the signal peptide of preprotein to release the matured proteins. Increasing evidence suggests that SPase I plays a crucial role in bacterial pathogenesis by regulating the excretion of a variety of virulent factors, maturation of quorum sensing factor and the intrinsic resistance against beta-lactams. Recently, breakthrough has been achieved in the understanding of three-dimensional structure of SPase I as well as the mechanism of enzyme-inhibitors interaction. Three families of inhibitors are identified, i.e. signal peptide derivatives, beta-lactams and arylomycins. In this article, we summarize the recent advance in the study of structure, activity and structure-activity relationship of SPase I inhibitors.

BACKGROUND:The mechanisms of mesenchymal stem cells directional y homing to infarcted myocardium post myocardial infarction are stil unclear.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the role of stromal cellderived factor-1 (SDF-1)/C-X-C chemokine receptor 4 (CXCR4) axis on mesenchymal stem cellmigration promoted by mononuclear cells after myocardial infarction.
METHODS:Cardiomyocytes and mesenchymal stem cells were respectively isolated from suckling and adult Sprague-Dawley rats. Twelve healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were selected (six rats for myocardial infarction models and six for sham models), then circulating mononuclear cells were isolated. 4,6-Diamino-2-phenyl indole-labeled mesenchymal stem cells, cardiomyocytes and mononuclear cells were cultured into the upper, middle and lower layers of the tri-chamber coculture system, respectively. In this experiment, there were four groups:myocardial infarction group, AMD3100 (CXCR4 inhibitor) group, sham group and blank control group. After 48 hours, the number of migrating mesenchymal stem cells with blue-lighting nucleus was calculated under fluoroscope. Immunocytochemistry and immunofluorescent staining was used to detect SDF-1 expression in cardiomyocytes and CXCR4 expression in mesenchymal stem cells, respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Migrating mesenchymal stem cells with positive expression of CXCR4 were observed in each group other than the blank control group. The number of migrating mesenchymal stem cells was higher in the myocardial infarction group than in the other groups. Tumor necrosis factor-αneutralizing antibody and CXCR4 inhibitor AMD3100 could obviously reduce the number of migrating mesenchymal stem cells (P<0.05). Cardiomyocytes in each group expressed SDF-1 positively. The gray values of SDF-1 expression in the myocardial infarction and AMD3100 groups were significantly higher than those in the sham and blank control groups (P<0.05). SDF-1/CXCR4 axis plays a certain role in mesenchymal stem cells migration promoted by mononuclear cells after myocardial infarction.
