Objective To study the preventive and therapeutic effects of ginkgo biloba extract 761 on disused skeletal muscle atrophy by observing its effects on the wet weight, protein content and contraction of the gastrocnemius of fixed hindlimb in rats. Methods 24 SD rats were divided into blank group, contrast group and experimental group. Their right hind limbs were fixed for 4 weeks with plastic plaster from metatarsus to 1 cm up the knee. The knee joint was fixed in 100? flexion and the ankle joint in 60? plantar flexion. Rats in the contrast group were perfused with 3mL distilled water, and rats in the experimental group were perfused with ginkgo biloba extract 761 (120 mg/kg, 14 mg/mL). The whole gastrocnemius muscle of the right hindlimb was dissected 4 weeks later to measure its contract tension, wet weight and protein content. Results Compared with the blank group, single maximal contraction, maximal tetanus, wet weight and protein content of the gastrocnemius muscle in the contrast and experimental groups decreased significantly (P

Objective:To investigate the influence of p33~ING1b and wt-p53 on the biological activities of pancreatic cancer cells. Methods: Sense and anti-sense cDNAs of p33~ING1b were cloned into pcDNA3 eukaryotic expression vector separately, and the recombinant plasmids were solely or co-transfected with wt-p53 into pancreatic cell line SW1990. Flow cytometry was used to analyze the changes of cell cycle, Western blotting was used to evaluate the expression of p33~ING1b and p53 protein, and MG-P-MY staining was applied to observe cell apoptosis. Results: SW1990 cells solely transfected with sense p33~ING1b plasmid or co-transfected with wt-p53 and sense p33~ING1b plasmid expressed more p33~ING1b and had more apoptosis than the antisense p33~ING1b plasmid and mock transfected cells did (P

Aim To study the changes of the biological behavior of dermal fibroblasts in Ⅲ skin burns wound in rats using chitosan.Methods Wistar rats were randomly divided into 5 groups as follows:1% chitosan(W/V)group,2% chitosan(W/V)group,4% chitosan(W/V)group,bFGF(basic fibroblast growth factor) group and the control group.Rats were made for Ⅲ skin burns.The wound healing time was recorded,and the wound healing rate was calculated.Then the cell cycle and apoptotic dermal fibroblasts were determined and the amount of Hydroxyproline(HOP) in the skin tissue was analyzed.Results The wound healing rate of 4% chitosan(W/V) group was higher and the wound healing time of 4% chitosan(W/V) group was shorter than that of the control group.On the 7th,14th day post-injury,the content of protein of 4% chitosan(W/V) group was higher than that of the control group.The content of HOP of 2% and 4% chitosan(W/V) group was highest on the 7th day post-injury. Compared with that in control group,the percentage of cells of S stage in 4% chitosan(W/V) group was aboundant,and was reduced in apoptotic dermal fibroblasts.Conclusion The changes of cellular biological behaviors might be one of the mechanisms of that Chitosan could promote the wound healing of Ⅲ skin burns in rats significantly.

OBJECTIVE: To observe effects of polyanhydride-three-dimensional vector-glucan material on the fetal liver stem cell adhesion and proliferation.METHODS: The two-step collagenase perfusion digestion and bliquid percoll discontinuous density gradient centrifugation was used to isolate fetal liver stem cells. Fetal liver stem cells at the third passage were incubated on the polyanhydride-three-dimensional vector-glucan material. Inverted microscope was utilized to observe cell adhesion and growth status. Cell adherent rate, proliferation activity were calculated, and cell number was counted. Cell-vector was obtained for tissue section. Using hematoxylin-eosin staining, cell growth in the vector was observed under the optical microscope. At 7 days,immunofluorescence staining and flow cytometry were used to determine marker expression.RESULTS: Polyanhydride-three-dimensional vector-glucan promoted grow and adhesion of liver stem cells. There was the active function of the liver stem cells within carrier materials. In the three-dimensional surface and the internal culture, liver stem cell proliferation was sustained. After 10 days, the polyanhydride common culture-three-dimensional vector-glucan on stem cells was non-toxic, and human fetal liver stem cells could be attached to the polyanhydride-three-dimensional vector-glucan stent. The cell proliferation was better and dynamic sustained expression of markers. 7-days training received 19.7 percent increase in the number of cells.CONCLUSION: Polyanhydride-three-dimensional vector-glucan promotes the proliferation of liver stem cells, and liver stem cells can be used as the vector in liver tissue engineering.

Objective To investigate the correlation between clinical presentations and the findings of video fluoroscopic swallowing study (VFSS)in patients with post-stroke dysphagia. Methods A total of 56 consecutive patients with post-stroke dysphagia admitted to Wenzhou Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine Affiliated to Zhejiang Chinese Medical University from June 2012 to May 2014 were enrolled. Four different kinds of food were selectively used to complete clinical assessment of swallowing function and VFSS respectively. The SPSS 20. 0 statistical software was used to perform univariate and multivariate Logistic regression analyses for all observed indexes of the 2 methods. Results there were significant correlations in the point correspondence relation among the clinical manifestations and VFSS in food residue in the mouth and abnormal closure of lips in the oral phase (95%CI 1. 430-101. 468;P=0. 022);poor soft palate elevation and food residue in the mouth (95%CI 1. 476-102. 033;P=0. 020);graded swallowing and piecemeal deglutition with delayed oral transit (95% CI 2. 616 -182. 897;P = 0. 004);tongue movement disorders,poor soft palate elevation and tongue dyskinesia with poor bolus formation (95%CI 1. 468-50. 795,1. 220-13. 825;P=0. 017,0. 023);food leak from the corner of mouth,dysphagia,bolus falling to the epiglottis from the base of tongue or trachea (95%CI 1. 146-125. 459,1. 657-174. 400;P=0.038,0. 017). The weakened pharyngeal reflex with weak laryngeal elevation in the pharyngeal phase (95%CI 1. 150-92. 815;P =0. 037);dysphagia and delayed swallowing with prolonged triggering of swallowing reflex (95%CI 2. 123-37. 770,1. 233-114. 176;P=0. 003,0. 032);graded swallowing,hard swallowing, choking sensation,and poor laryngeal elevation with prolonged pharyngeal transit (95%CI 1. 619-223. 316,1. 061-31. 445,2. 834 -132. 707;P =0. 019,0. 042,and 0. 003);dysphagia and the opening of cricopharyngeal muscle insufficiency (95%CI 1. 037 -24. 115;P =0. 045);weak laryngeal elevation,foreign body sensation in the throat,and choking after swallowing with food retention or residual in vallecula or pyriform sinus (95%CI 1. 046 -13. 685,1. 116 -87. 741;P =0. 043, 0.040);and coughing during swallowing and eating choking or aspiration (95%CI 0. 010-0. 921,0. 037-0. 826;P=0. 042,0. 028).

The viable but noncuturable (VBNC) state is a survival strategy when bacteria are exposed to en- vironment stress. The VBNC state is part of the life cycle of non-differentiating bacteria, and it has a far-reaching impact on traditional bacteriology. Cells in the VBNC state fail to grow on the routine bacterio- logical media, here its significance in human health and environment science are detailed. Cells entering the VBNC state exhibit dwarfing and a number of metabolic changes in respiration rates and macromolecular synthesis. This paper summarized the variations in DNA and protein comparing to the culturable cells. We also discussed the ability of cells to resuscitate from the VBNC state and return to an actively metabolizing and culturable form. Some new methods for monitoring the VBNC state were listed. Finally the future was suggested.

Arachidonic acid is an essential fatty acid in human nutrition and a biogenetic precursor of the biologically active prostaglandins and leukotrienes. ?~5 desaturase catalyzes the ?~5 dehydrogenation of di-homo-?-linolenic acid to form arachidonic acid in biosynthetic pathway of arachidonic acid. Using real time PCR technology,the transcriptional expression levels of gene encoding ?5 desaturase in three Mortierella alpina strains M10,M6 and M23,and in different growth phase of high arachidonic acid yielding strain M6,were determined. Results showed that there was a distinct corelationship between mRNA transcript level of ?~5 desaturase gene and biosynthesis of arachidonic acid. Results indicated that ?~5 desaturase plays an important role in arachidonic acid biosynthesis.
