Adult male rats weighing 250-300 g were used to study ACPase and ATPase in the liver following 60Co radiation on the whole body for a single dose 2000 rad(95.7-99r/min). The irradiated group and the control group were sacrificed at intervals of 1, 2, 3 days after irradiation. The left liver lobe was removed, fro/en in dryice-isopentane, and then cut in a cryostat. ACPase and ATPase activities were revealed by histochemical and cytochemical methods respectively.In the control group, ACPase activity was found to be mainly localized in the vicinity of bile canaliculi, and generally higher in the periportal region than in the centrilobular region. The distribution of ATPase reaction products was much like that of ACPase.On the 1st day after irradiation, a slight decrease was found in ACPase and ATPase activities, while on the 2nd and 3rd days in both of them was found a marked increase especially in the periportal region. These results were in agreement with cytochemical observations.The significance of these results and related problems were discussed.

Autoimmune diseases are characterized by the presence of various autoantibodies and may cause injuries to multiple organs,with kidney as the most common and important organ involved.Autoantibodies are of great importance in the diagnosis,treatment and prognosis of autoimmune renal diseases.Lupus nephritis,anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA) associated vasculitis and antiglomerular basement membrane (GBM) disease are the most common autoimmune renal diseases.Anti-C1q antibody,ANCA and anti-GBM antibody play important roles in those diseases,respectively.Appropriate and steady detecting methods are crucial to clinicians,and the results should also be interpreted with great cautions.

Application research on human amniotic membrane has been carried out for nearly a hundred years and people found that there were more than dozens of kinds bioactive substances in the amniotic membrane. It has been proved that the amniotic membrane has a lot of functions, such as anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, anti-virus, anti-angiogenic and promoting cell apoptosis, and soon. As effective treatments, amniotic membrane has been used for adjunctive therapy of burns, trauma, ophthalmic damage, dermatopathya. Recent advances of amniotic membrane and amniotic membrane-derived cells research have led to enormous progress in skin tissue engineering, vascular tis- sue engineering, biological scaffold material, and biological sustained-release materials. Amniotic membrane and amniotic membrane derived cells have a significant advantage and unique charm in medical field. Therefore, they have higher research value and broad prospects in the applications.

Since the tumor has become one of the most deadly diseases to human life ,it is of great impor-tance to explore a new effective antitumor medicine .This paper summarizes the chemical constituents and the mechanism of Inonotus obliquus .The mechanism includes the details of the inhibition of tumor cell proliferation , inducing tumor cell apoptosis ,influence tumor cell cycle etc .Meanwhile,it describes Inonotus obliquus to the ad-juvant chemotherapy of tumor .

Inherited epidermolysis bullosa (EB) is a group of hereditary skin diseases characterized by increases in skin brittleness and being prone to skin blisters or erosions when the skin is exposed to slight friction or injury. At present, it is classified into four types, namely EB simplex, junctional EB, dystrophic EB and Kindler syndrome. An onion skinning approach is recommended for the diagnosis of inherited epedermolysis bullosa, in which, immunofluorescence mapping is performed firstly, and causative genetic loci are then determined through detection of relevant genes. In its treatment, skin care should be intensified, and medical or surgical treatment may be used to alleviate symptoms. Further development of cell?, protein?and gene?based therapies is expected to bring hope to patients via realization of timely prenatal diagnosis and avoidance of adverse consequences.

BACKGROUND:Despite regular mesh hydroxyapatite has certain biocompatibility and bone conductivity, it cannot be absorbed by human body after transplantation, and wil affect the growth and eruption of maxila and fangs when using for filing the injured alveolar cleft. OBJECTIVE: To compare the effect of conventional and new mesh hydroxyapatite composites in repair of alveolar cleft defects. METHODS: Totaly 46 patients with cleft lip and palate were randomly and evenly divided into test and control groups, and al were arranged according to cleft lip and palate sequence treatment. After nasal soft tissue defect repair, new mesh hydroxyapatite composite bone material (hydroxyapatite and bone morphogenetic protein compound). Conventional mesh hydroxyapatite material was adopted in the test and control groups, respectively. Within 6 months after the repair, the vertical distance from the newly formed bone tissue plane to the top of alveolar ridge was observed. The clinical repair effect was comprehensively evaluated from the aspects of complications, alveolar cleft shape and size, calus formation and material absorption. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At 2, 4, 8, 12 and 24 weeks, the vertical distance from the newly formed bone tissue plane to the top of alveolar ridge in the test group was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05). The clinical repairing significant efficiency and total effective rate were al higher than those in the control group (P< 0.05). These results show that new mesh hydroxyapatite composite bone materials in the repair of alveolar cleft defects have good bone osteoinductivity and biocompatibility, rare complications and rapid calus formation.

Retrovirus (RV), a major pathogen in acute gastroenteritis in children that may lead to severe disease and heavy burdens on national economy. There is no speciifc drug treatment for the gastroenteritis caused by RV, and vaccine has been identiifed as the most effective intervention to control the associated disease burden. The RV vaccine showed differential effects on different RV infection. In China, epidemiology of RV is more complex hence demands more epidemiologic studies. In this article, we will review the epidemiology of RV in China and further discuss the importance of generalized RV vaccine.

Objective To explore the best sampling position of bone marrow biopsy in mice.Methods Mice were sacrificed by cervical dislocation, then take the skull, sternum, tibial, femoral and iliac bone, making pathological section.Observed and photographed under light microscope. Comparison of the distribution of the essence and the hematopoietic microenvironment in different parts.Select site which can best reflect the hematopoietic function of bone marrow.Results A large number of hematopoietic cells in ilium marrow sections visible.The cells are evenly distributed. Blood and megakaryocytes were clearly visible.The arrangement of the structure of the scaffolds for tissue closely.The number of fat cells less.Bone marrow hematopoietic cells in the skull, sternum, tibial, femoral were not clear and not active.And there are more fat cells.Conclusions As the best sampling position of bone marrow biopsy, is ilium.

Objective To observe the protective effect of Danggui Buxue Decoction on 60 Co-γray irradiated mice. Methods The experimental mice were randomly divided into 5 groups ( the normal control group , model group , Danggui Buxue Decoction of low , middle and high dose groups ) .The mouse except the normal control group were irradiated by 60Co-γray and established the radiation-damage model.Peripheral blood neutrophil count (NEUT), the number of bone marrow nucleated cells ( BMC ) , the activity of serum superoxide dismutase ( SOD ) and the serum levels of malondialdehyde ( MDA) were measured .Results Radiation injury in mice of NEUT , BMC and SOD were significantly decreased (P <0.01), MDA were increased (P <0.01).Danggui Buxue Decoction can increase the levels of NEUT , BMC and SOD in mice after radiation injury , decrease the content of MDA .And protective effect of high dose group was better (P <0.01).Conclusions Danggui Buxue Decoction has protective effect on radiation injury in mice .And there is a correlation between the protection effect and dose .
