Objective To study the protein conformational change of placenta tissue by using Raman spectrum.Methods By using Raman spectroanalysis,we detected the placenta protein conformational change of GDM and control groups.Results(1)In the placenta of GDM,the absorption bands of tryptophan and phenylalanine were increased obviously.(2)In the placenta of GDM,the secondary structure of protein was composed of α-helix,random coil and β-sheet.Conclusions In the placenta of GDM,the orderly conformations of main chains in protein are decreased.Side chains of amino acids,especially tryptophan and phenyl-alanine,are changed greatly.The structure variation of protein may be correlated to the diabetic complications.

BackgroundRetinal pigment epithelial (RPE)cell senescence damage the metabolism of photoreceptor,leading to retinal dysfunction and loss of vision.To understand RPE cell senescence mechanism will contribute to the study of age-related macular degeneration ( AMD).ObjectiveThe present study was to prepare the ageing RPE cell model with passage and explore its potential mechanisms.MethodsThis study was approved by the Ethic Committee of Qingdao University Medical College,and the informed consent was obtained from each gravida.Six human eyeballs were obtained from artificial labor fetusl with the gestational age 16-28 weeks.RPE cells were isolated,cultured and passaged in vitro to establish the cell replicative aging model.The third to twelfth cells were collected to be used to this experiment.Human keratin was used to identify the cells by immunochemistry,and MTT method was utilized to assess the proliferation and viability of different generations of cells as the A490 value.The cellular cycles and transmembrane potential (△ψm)of mitochondrion (△ψm) with passage were detected and compared using Flow Cytometry. Results Cultured and passaged cells showed the hexagon in shape with the melanin in 1-2 generations of cells and presented with the brown staining in cytoplasm for human keratin.The melanin was absent in the third generation cells.Vibrant growth statues were seen from the 3-6 generations cells and thereafter the proliferation ability reduced.The cells of G0/G1 phase were gradually elevated with the passage from 3 - 12 generations with a percentage of 68.40％ in the third generation of cells to 87.33％ in the twelfth generation of cells,showing a significant difference among various generations ( F =180.43,P =0.00),and that of the sixth,ninth and twelfth generation of cells was significant higher than the third,sixth and ninth generation respectively (t =4.002,P＜0.05 ; t=12.885,P＜0.01 ;t=16.387,P＜0.01 ).MTT assay showed that of RPE cells were significantly declined with the passage ( F =38.77,P =0.00),and the A490 value of the ninth,twelfth generations of cells was considerably lower in comparison with sixth and ninth generation respectively ( t =5.991,11.983,P＜0.01 ).From 3 through 12 generations of cells,the staining intensity of rhodamine 123 was gradually decreased ( F =121.68,P =0.00 ),and the staining intensity in the sixth,ninth and twelfth generation of cells was significant lower than that the third,sixth and ninth generation respectively(t=6.918,7.620,11.207,P＜0.01 ).Conclusions A replicative aging model can be successfully created by the passage in vitro using human fetal RPE cells.The reduce of transmembrane potential and damage of mitochondria might be one of mechanisms of senescence of RPE cells.

Objective:To evaluate the ability of calcium hydroxide removal using different irrigation methods and the effect on canal sealing.Methods:200 human single root canal premolar teeth were prepared.Divided the teeth randomly into 2 groups(each group 96 teeth,8 as control),one group filled with chemical calcium hydroxide and another filled with finished product calcium hydroxide.7 days after,divided each groups randomly into 6 subsets and remove the calcium hydroxide in the root canal(table1).Then each subset group choose 8 teeth randomly,observed by scanning electron microscope.Other specimens were obturated by lateral condensation of cold gutta-percha with a AH-Plus sealer,stained by Indian ink and then made into transparent teeth model.Results:At the same condition,there was no significant difference between group A and group B;the results of groups associated with ultrasonic were better than groups with injection syringe.The rinse solution EDTA was the best,distilled water was the worse.Dye penetration showed that the length of dye staining was no significant difference among all groups.Conclusion:Ultrasonic and sodium hypochlorite associate EDTA is the best method to remove the calcium hydroxide.But none of the methods and rinse solution used in this experiment can remove all of the calcium hydroxide.The calcium hydroxide remained influence on the root canal sealer is not predominance.

ObjectiveTo investigate the expression of hypoxia inducible factor 1 (HIF-1α) in rats' retinae during the embryonic and earlier postnatal period.MethodsThe retinal expression patterns of HIF-1α protein and mRNA of embryonic day 12 (E12), E16, E20, and postnatal day 1(P1) and P5 rats were determined by immunohistochemical staining and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR).ResultsHIF-1α protein was detected in the neural epithelial layer and the pigment epithelial layer at all those 5 timepoints, with higher expression in the ganglion cell layer and the inner plexiform layer, and seems limited to the ganglion cell layer when retina became more mature. Embryonic rat retina had higher expression of HIF-1α protein and mRNA than postnatal retina, the difference was significant (P<0. 01). ConclusionThe expression of HIF-1α in rats' retinae differs from embryonic to earlier postnatal stages.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis value of sonography for the meniscus lesions. Methods Sixty-six menisci of thirty-one patients examined by ultrasonography were compared with the arthroscopic operation or surgical findings. Results For all meniscal lesions,the ultrasound detecting gave an accuracy of (92.4)%,sensitivity of (94.1)%,specificity of (90.6)%,positive predictive value of (91.4)%,negative predictive value of (93.5)%.For medial meniscal lesions,the ultrasonography gave an accuracy of (87.9)%.For lateral meniscal lesions,the ultrasonography gave an accuracy of (97.0)%. The accuracies of locating the meniscal lesions and identifying the meniscal type were (85.3)% and (76.5)%,respectively.Using the miniwidth of meniscus at the midbody exceeds 15 mm as criterion,the accuracy of sonography indicating discoid meniscus was (88.9)%. Conclusions Ultrasonography can make relatively accurate diagnosis for meniscus lesions with its advantage of noninvasive convenience,and can be used as an auxiliary means to detect meniscus lesions.

this paper analyzed the imbalanced distributions of information,also known as information excess and information desert for the 21st century university students,and a series of related straits initiated by the two phenomena.The education of life ethics view for university students in the 21st century is proposed to be strengthened as a countermeasure.

Objctive To explore the relationship between the expression of Fas/FasL and the apoptosis occurs in retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury of rats, as well as the therapeutic effects of bFGF on the ischemic retina. Methods The models of retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury was made by transient elevating introcular pressure. A total of 28 rats were divided into normal and operation group.The latter were subdivided into 1 hour, 6, 12, 24, 48 and 72 hours after reperfusion group, in which the left eyes of the rats were in the ischemia/reperfusion groups and the right ones were in the treatment groups (bFGF intracameral injection). Apoptosis was assessed by the terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP-biotin nick-end labelling (TUNEL) method, and the expression of Fas and Fas ligand was studied by strept avidin-biotin complex (SABC)immunohistochemistry. Results No positive cells were observed in the normal rats′ retinae, but there was a significant number of TUNEL positive cells in 6-24 hours after transient ischemia followed by a decrease at the 48th hour. The number of TUNEL positive cells reached a maximum at the 24th hour after ischemia. The expression of Fas gradually increased as early as when it was at the 6th hour, reached a peak at the 24th hour, and then decreased at the 48th hour. Similarly, the expression of Fas ligand was at peak in 24-48 hours in GCL and INL of retina. Conclusions Retinal ischemia-reperfusion after transient elevated IOP induced apoptosis of cells in the retina. Fas/FasL may play an important role in the early events of the apoptotic pathways. bFGF can rescue RGCs from retinal ischemia/reperfusion injury through downregulation of the expression of Fas/FasL and may represent an important mechanism for therapeutic neuroprotection.
