Objective To explore the effect of lysophosphatidic acid(LPA)on blood-brain barrier(BBB) permeability and its possible mechanism.Methods LPA or LPA+suramin(L+S)were stereotaxically injected into the right eaudate nucleus in SD rats in vivo.Evans blue(EB)was used to quantitatively measure the permeability of BBB at different time points.The expression of matrix metalloproteinase-9 was detected by immunohistochemistry technique.The pathological ultrastruetural changes of BBB were assessed by transmission electron microscopy.Results The BBB permeability began to increase after LPA administered into ipsilateral eaudate nucleus,and reached the peak at 24h.Then the permeability of BBB gradually lowered after 48h.In comparison with the same time points of control group,there were quite significant differences(P＜0.01).After L+S was injected,the change of BBB permeability had differences in comparison with those of LPA group in the same time points,(P＜0.05).MMP-9 positive cells were mainly vascular endothelial cells.The numbers of MMP-9 positive blood vessels grew at 6h in LPA group,and the expression of it reached maximum at 24h,then the number of it decreased at 48h,showing significant statistical differences in comparison with the L+S group(P＜0.01),It was observed microscopically that ultrastrueture of BBB of the LPA group was changed sharply,such as basement membrane roughed and fragmented,astroeyte end-feet swolled markedly and perivaseular space enlarged obviously.But there were no remarkable changes in BBB in L+S group.Conclusion LPA can induce increase of BBB permeability and its possible mechanism is the strong expression of MMP-9 protein produeted by endothelial cells through the mediation of LPA receptor,leading to degradation of basement membrane.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the enantioselectivity of norgestrel (NG) transdermal permeation and the potential influence of linalool and lipids on the enantioselectivity. In vitro skin permeation studies of NG across the excised rat skins were performed with Valia-Chien diffusion cells, and the permeation samples were analyzed by enantioselective HPLC. The possible enantioselective permeation of NG across intact rat back skin and lipids extracted rat back skin and the influence of linalool were evaluated. The skin permeation rate of dl-NG was two times higher than that of l-NG when donor solutions (EtOH/H2O 2 : 8, v/v) containing l-NG or dl-NG. It may be mainly attributed to the solubility discrepancy between enantiomer and racemate. The enantioselective permeation of dl-NG across intact rat skin was observed when the donor solutions containing dl-linalool. The permeation flux of l-NG was 22% higher than that of d-NG. But interestingly, the enantioselective permeation of dl-NG disappeared under the same experimental condition except that the lipid extracted rat skin was used. Attenuated total reflection-fourier transform infrared spectroscopy analysis of stratum corneum showed that the wave number for asymmetric CH2 stretching vibrations of lipids treated with dl-linalool was greater than that of the control. The results indicated that the enantioselective permeation of NG may be contributed by the interaction between dl-linalool and lipids. More than half of lipids were composed of ceramides. The stereospecific interaction maybe existed among chiral enhancer (linalool), lipids (ceramides) and/or chiral drugs (NG).

Objective To investigate the risk factors on rectovaginal fistula after resection in rectal canc-er and clinical strategy. Methods Our retrospective study included 1123 patients of recter cancer who un-derwent anterior resection with TME technique. Results 3.03% patients(34/1123) developed reetovaginal fistula. Rectovaginal fistulas were raleted with menopausal, location tumor in rectal wall and distance between tumor and anal verge, anastomotic technique, while not with age, T stage, preoperative radiotherapy, diversion stoma construction. Among 34 patients 12 were cured conservatively, fistula repair and colon stoma were performed for the other patients. Conclusions Menopausal, location tumor in rectal wall, distance between tumor and anal verge, anastomotic technique were risk factors for rectovaginal fistula after resection in rectal cancer. Correct choice of surgical procedures, suitable operative timing, enough preoperative preparation are important.

Objective To observe the expressions of bone morphogenetic protein-2(BMP-2)and bone morphogenetie protein-7(BMP-7)in the synovial tissue of fluorosis rats and its correlation with pathogenic mechanism of fluorosis arthritis.Methods Thirty-two SD rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:the control group,low,moderate and high-dose fluoride group.The control group ate commou fodder.The low,moderate and high dose fluoride group were fed with fodder composed of 25%.35%and 68%of corn(containing fluorine of 148.00 mg/kg)in chronic endemic fluorosis region in Guizhou Province.After 140 days,the expressions of BMP-2 and BMP-7 protein were determined by immunohistochemistry and assayed the absorbanee by computer image-pattern analysis system.Light microscope was used to observe the synovial tissue by Hematoxin Eosin,and calculated the pathological integral of synovium according to pathological grade standard.Results The expressions of BMP-2 (32.50±2.73)and BMP-7(38.90±2.56)in the control group was spare.Compared with the control group,the expressions of BMP-2(59.43±5.12,79.82±6.41,101.76±7.56)and BMP-7(55.10±4.82,78.42±5.61,98.46± 6.05)in the synovial tissue was up-regulated in each experimental groups(P＜0.05),especially in the moderate dose and the high-dose groups(P＜0.05).Compared with the control group(0.54±0.21).the pathological integral of synovium increased(P＜0.05)in each experimental groups(1.04±0.98,4.69±1.28,8.60±2.07).The expressions of BMP-2 and BMP-7 in the synovial tissue was found to be positively related with the pathological integral of synovium(r=0.98,0.99,P＜0.05).Conclusion The BMP-2 and BMP-7 play an important role in the development of fluorosis arthritis,probably by affecting osteogenesis.

Objective To evaluate the effects of hydrogen-rich saline on the expression of miR-210 and miR-21 in hippocampus during global cerebral ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) in rats.Methods Seventy-two healthy male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 9-10 weeks,weighing 250-300 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =24 each):sham operation group (group S),group I/R,and hydrogen-rich saline group (group H).Global cerebral I/R was produced by 4-vessel occlusion method.In group H,0.6 mmol/L hydrogen-rich saline 5 ml/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 0 and 6 h of reperfusion,while the equal volume of normal saline was injected instead of hydrogen-rich saline in the other two groups.Rats were sacrificed at 24 and 72 h of reperfusion,and then the bilateral hippocampi were removed for detection of the expression of miR-210 and miR-21 using RT-PCR.The global brain tissues were also obtained and stained with HE for examination of the changes in pyramidal cells in the CA1 region of hippocampus.Results Compared with group S,the expression of miR-210 and miR-21 was significantly up-regulated,and the number of pyramidal cells was decreased in group I/R (P ＜ 0.05).Compared with group I/R,the expression of miR-210 and miR-21 was significantly down-regulated,and the number of pyramidal cells was increased in group H (P ＜ 0.05).The pathological changes were significantly ameliorated in group H.Conciusion The mechanism by which hydrogen-rich saline attenuates global cerebral I/R injury is related to downregulation of the expression of miR-210 and miR-21 in rat hippocampus.

Problem-based learning (PBL) teaching method combined with formative evalua-tion was used in the teaching practice of pediatrics education. This method was implemented by four phases: courses designing, group-preparing, problems-organizing and teaching practice. The method was evaluated by students' feedback and survey results of patients, teachers and teaching councilors. It was showed that the teaching effects of PBL combined with formative evaluation was better than tra-ditional teaching method in pediatrics teaching.

Objective To explore the effect of risk assessment tracking management in reducing unplanned extubation in patients with tracheal intubation.Methods From January to December 2015,120 patients with tracheal intubation in ICU were selected as the control group with routine nursing care of indwelling endotracheal intubation.From January to November 2016,120 patients with tracheal intubation were selected as the observation group,where the risk assessment and risk management were done on the basis of routine nursing as in the control group.The two groups were compared in terms of tracheal intubation and unplanned extubation related knowledge,the implementation of the risk assessment,the accuracy in risk assessment and the incidence of unplanned extubation.Result The tracheal intubation and unplanned extubation related knowledge in the observation group was lower than that of the control group (P＜0.001),The implementation rate of the risk assessment and the accuracy in risk assessment in the observation group were significantly higher than the control group,and the rate of unplanned extubation in the observation group was significantly lower than in the control group (all P＜0.01).Conclusion The implementation on risk assessment and extubation-preventing nursing quality tracing management can enhance the awareness and knowledge of preventing trachea cannula exodus,improve the quality of nursing and reduce the rate of unplanned extubation.

Objective To investigate the clinical features of Remitting Seronegative Symmetrical Synovitis with Pitting Oedema(RS3PE),especially it’s association with malignancy. Methods The clinical data of eight RS3PE patients hospitalized during Jan 2003 and June 2007 in Peking Union Medical College Hospital were reviewed. The clinical characteristics, laboratory tests, response to treatment as well as the outcome were studied. Among the 8 patients, five were male and 3 were female,the mean age of RS3 PE onset was 60.9 (38～79yr). 5 had idiopathic RS3PE without underlying disease, and 3 presented associated neoplasm. Results All patients had symmetrical polyarthritis and pitting edema on the dorsum of hands and/or feet. Extra-articular symptoms were more conspicuous in patients complicated by neoplasm. Serum RF、AKA、APF and anti-CCP antibody were all negative. antinuclear antibodies (ANA) was positive with low titer in five cases. Hand and foot radiographs did not show bone erosion in all cases. After steroid and/or immunosuppressive treatment, 2 cases exhibited persistent remission of articular symptoms and edema, whereas relapses occurred 6, 7 and 36 months respectively after the initial diagnosis in 3 cases who had been pathologically confirmed as having Non-Hodgkin-Lymphoma and thereby received periodical chemotherapy. Conclusion RS3PE is a group of clinical manifestations with prominent heterogeneity, therefore intensive follow-up is necessary, and the presence of systemic symptoms/ signs in RS3PE patients alert the physician for the potential concomitant malignancy.
