Objective To examine the role of c-Jun NH2-terminal kinase(JNK) 1 in cytolytic T lymphocyte (CTL) responses against virus infection.Methods Wild-type (WT) and JNK1-knockout (JNK1-/-) mice were infected with ectromelia virus(ECTV) through hind footpads.Survival and virus titers in the target organs (liver and spleen) were analyzed.Effector T cells in the spleen and popliteal lymph nodes were determined on day 3 and 7 post-infection.Proliferation and INF-γ production of CTL were also detected.Results JNK1 deficiency caused an increased susceptibility to ECTV infection in mice,indicated by higher case fatality and viral burden in target organs.The decrease in CTL response correlated with a defect in CTL proliferation and INF-γproduction.Conclusion The data suggest that JNK1 is involved in expansion of activated CTL during ECTV infection,and plays an important antiviral role in regulating the proliferation and effector function of CTL.

Objective To evaluate the effect of nursing interventions on the quality of life of patients undergoing continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis (CAPD).Methods Randomized controlled trials (RCTs) involving nursing interventions were collected from the databases of Cochrane,PubMed,Elsevier Science Direct,VIP,CNKI and WanFang.Data were analyzed with RevMan 5.1 software.Results 8 articles met the inclusion criteria.The results of Meta-analysis showed that there was considerable heterogeneity across the analysis,which might be resulted from length of intervention and patients of different ages according to subgroup analysis,and that gender was not the factor causing heterogeneity.In the experimental group,both physical and emotional aspects after receiving nursing interventions were significantly improved than the control group.Conclusions Nursing interventions can improve the quality of life of patients with CAPD.

Objective To investigate the resuscitation outcome after a short period of mild hypothermia in porcine model of prolonged ventricular fibrillation (VF).Methods Fourteen male healthy domestic swine weighting 34 to 36 kg were used.VF was induced electrically and maintained untreated for 11 mins,followed by manual cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) procedure.Two investigators initiated chest compression and bag-valve mask ventilation in pattern of 2 min rotation.A biphasic wave of 120 J electric defibrillation (ED) was attempted 6 mins after CPR.If there was no return of spontaneous circulation (ROSC),CPR was restored and ED was delivered when necessarily.Resuscitation was considered unsuccessful if absence of ROSC for 12 mins.However,if ROSC occurred,animals were randomly (random number) diveded into normothermia (NT) group and hypothermia treatment (CH) group.Animals in CH group were immediately cooled by using intravenous infusion of ice-cold saline and surface cooling.Core temperature was reduced to 32-34 degrees centigrade within 120 mins and maintained at this level for 2 h.Active rewarming was completed within 2 h until baseline body temperature was reached.Data of hemodynamic variables,blood-gas analysis and blood lactate before VF of two groups were recorded.Meawhile,cardiac output (CO),heart rate and Tc after ROSC were recorded.Neurological defect scores (NDS) were evaluated every 24 h until 96 h after ROSC.Variables were compared using either Fisher test or repeated measures analysis of variance,followed by Bonferroni for multiple comparisons.A two-sided P value ＜0.05 was regarded statistically significant.Results There was no significant difference in body weight,mean arterial pressure,CO,pH,pressure of end-tidal carbon dioxide (ETCO2) and lactate between groups before VF.In the period of CPR,there were also no significant difference in total resuscitation time,first shock success rate,ROSC rate,shock ROSC rate,total number of shock and doses of epinephrine.However,animals in CH group survived longer time than that in NT groups [(96.00 ± 0.00) hvs.(49.71 ±43.65) h,P=0.031].Meanwhile,the survival rate of 96 h was significantly higher in CH than that in NT (P ＜ 0.05).For neurological function,there was a obviously better NDS in CH group than that in NT group within ROSC 96 h (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Even a short duration of 2 hour mild hypothermia could improve resuscitation outcome in porcine model of 11 minute VF.

BACKGROUND:Implant stability is the basic requirement of osseointegration and also one of important parameters to judge whether the implant is implanted successfully. Generaly, the implant stability is closed related to bone quality (bone hardness and bone density) in the implant zone, implant shape, diameter and length. OBJECTIVE:To continuously monitor the changing trend of implant stability during early healing period due to the utilization of osteotome technique by resonance frequency analysis. METHODS:Twenty patients with class Ⅳ defects in the posterior maxila who underwent implant restoration (4.8 mm×12 mm) from 2010 to 2011 at the Department of Stomatology, the 521 Hospital of China North Industries Group Corporation were recruited. Resonance frequency analysis was used to measure the implant stability at implant insertion, 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 8 and 12 weeks postoperatively. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al the implants achieved osseintegration uneventfuly within 12 weeks. At implant instalation, the mean implant stability quotient value was 69.66±4.75. An increase trend in implant stability quotient values was visible within 1 week, and the implant stability quotient value reached the peaked at 1 week, and then decreased to the lowest point at 2 weeks, which were significantly different from that at implant instalation (P < 0.05). In the secondary stability phase, the increasing slope of implant stability quotient values reached a plateau by the 8th week. The resonance frequency analysis can estimate the quantitative change of implant stability after applying the osteotome technique, and the osteotome technique can promote the implant initial stability.

BACKGROUND:SIRT6/NF-κB is the important signal axis to cellsenescence, but the effect of SIRT6/NF-κB signal axis to hematopoietic stem and progenitor cell(HSC/HPC) senescence is unclear. OBJECTIVE:To induce (t-BHP) in vitro and to investigate the role of SIRT6/NF-κB signal axis in Sca-1+HSC/HPC senescence induced by tert-butylhydroperoxide in vitro. METHODS:Sca-1+HSC/HPC was isolated and purified by magnetic activated cellsorting. Sca-1+HSC/HPC senescence was induced by 100μmol/L tert-butylhydroperoxide in vitro. The senescence-associatedβ-Galactosidase staining, cellcycle analysis and culture of mixed hematopoietic progenitor cellwere used to investigate the biological effects of tert-butylhydroperoxide on Sca-1+HSC/HPC senescence. The expression of senescence associated SIRT6, NF-κB mRNA and protein was examined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR and western blot assay. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with control group, the percentage of positive cells expressing SA-β-Gal and cells in G0/G1 phase increased and the number of forming colony of mixed hematopoietic progenitor decreased in the aging group. It showed lower expression of SIRT6 and higher expression of NF-κB in the aging group. The SIRT6/NF-κB signal axis may play a key role in the Sca-1+ HSC /HPC senescence inducted by tert-butylhydroperoxide.

Objective To establish RT-PCR-RFLP method for studying the genotype of wild mea-sles virus strains isolated from Tianjin area from 2002 to 2008. Methods Isolations of measles virus were carried out by tissue culture method from urine and throat swab specimens collected from suspected cases. RNA were extracted from the virus specimens. The 594 bp fragment of C terminal of the N (nucleoprotein) gene was amplified by one-step RT-PCR, then the PCR products were digested with Bcn I , separated on agarose gel electrophoresis and then analyzed by the method of RFLP (restriction fragment length polymor-phism). In addition, above results were compared with DNA sequencing. Phylogenetic tree was plotted based on the results for the genetic relationship and distance analysis. Results Sixty-nine measles virus strains were isolated from 189 specimens from 2002 to 2008, of which the C terminals of N gene were all de-tected positive. Among the 69 strains of measles virus isolates, 98.55% (68/69) belonged to Hla sub-geno-type which was the predominant sub-genotype, and only one strain (1.45%) belonged to H1b sub-genotype by RFLP analysis which was in accordance with the results by DNA sequencing method. Phylogenetic tree analysis indicated the H1a sub-genotype measles virus strains should be further divided into 2 clades, and the variation fluctuated between 0.2% and 3.8%. There were transmission chains caused by different virus strains co-cireulation. Conclusion A genotype, H1a and H1b sub-genotype can be identified by RT-PCR-RFLP assay specically based on the restriction enzyme Bcn I .The RT-PCR-RFLP assay can be a rapid, simple, accurate and efficient method for large-scale surveillance of measles virus strains in China.
