Objective　To observe the effect of repairing the articular cartilage defects with tissue-engineered cartilaginous grafts in rabbits. 　Methods　 A total of 60 rabbits were divided into the cartilage graft group, the pure carrier control group and the blank control group. In the cartilage graft group, the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (MSCs) of the rabbits were obtained by isolating and culturing the bone marrow aspirates in vitro. The culture system that facilitates the chondrogenous differentiation of MSCs in rabbits was established. The tissue engineering cartilaginous graft was composed of chondrogenetic MSCs, bovine type Ⅰ collagen and human fibrin. Then transplantations of the cartilaginous grafts were performed to repair articular cartilage defects in rabbits. 　Results　Hyaloid cartilage was formed within the defects repaired with the grafts at 12 weeks after transplantation by analyzing the content of type Ⅱ collagen and metachromatism. In the control groups, the fibrous cartilage repair was observed first, then the fibrous tissues and bone repairs were found. 　Conclusions　 The cartilaginous graft through tissue engineering is a promising graft for repairing articular cartilage defects.

Objective　To study the feasibility of constructing tissue engineered cartilage by differentiated rabbit bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells(MSC) cultured in vitro and in vivo. Methods　The MSC were isolated from the nucleated cells fraction of autologous bone marrow by density gradient centrifuge, and then induced into chondrogenic differentiation by adding dexamethasone, transforming growth factor-β1(TGF-β1) and ascorbic acid in vitro. After 3 weeks, some cells turned to round shape and secreted metachromatic matrix. The cartilaginoid grafts composed of chondrogenic MSC. Bovine type Ⅰ collagen and human fibrin were cultured within the chondrogenic medium for 2 weeks in vitro or transplanted subcutaneously adjacent to the knee joint for 3 weeks in vivo. Results　The most cells in the grafts were degenerated and disappeared after cultured in vitro. But the residual cells were survival and secreted metachromatic staining proteoglycan with toluidine blue, which was characteristic cartilage matrix. The grafts developed into matured cartilage tissue assessed by histological examination after 3 weeks of transplantation in vivo. Conclusion　MSC can be used as functional cells to constructing tissue engineered cartilage.

Objective: To study the effect of enalapril on inducible atrial fibrillation(AF) in old rats. Methods: Old male Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group(n = 12) and experimental group(n = 13). Rats in control group were fed routinely. Rats were fed with enalapril besides normal diet in experimental group for three months. Rats were then anesthetized, thoracotomy was performed and pericardium was opened to expose heart. Right atrium effective refractory period(ERP) was measured. Sinus conduction time (SCT) and sinus recovery time (SRT) were measured for evaluating sinus function. Interatrial conduction time(IACT) and atrium response to burst pacing were evaluated in vivo. Plasma angiotensinⅡ level and atrial tissue angiotensinⅡ level were determined by radioimmunoassay. Sections were cut from the tissue of atrium and stained with Masson trichrome. The ratio of the area occupied by interstitial to the total area was measured. Results: Contrast to control group,IACT and SRT were shorter in experimental group(P ＜ 0.01 and P ＜ 0.05 respectively). AF were induced in 9 rats in control group and 4 rats in experimental group(P ＜ 0.05). AngiotensinⅡconcentration was significantly decreased in right and left atrium tissues of experimental group compared with that in control group(P ＜ 0.01). A significant decrease in interstitial atrial fibrosis was presented in experimental group compared with that of control group(P ＜ 0.01). Conclusion: Inducible atrial fibrillation rate was decreased in old rats after treatment with enalapril. This effect maybe resulted from the inhibited local atrium renin-angiotensin system and improved sinus node function by enalapril.

Objective To investigate the production of carbapenemase and 16S rRNA methylase in five isolates of pan-drugs resistant E.cloacae recovered in Ruijin hospital.Methods MICs of the five isolates to 10 antibiotics were determined by E test.Six kinds of 16S rRNA methylase genes and a series of β- lactamase genes were amplified by PCR.Shotgun cloning was performed to detect carbapenem resistance determinant.The conjugal transfer of carbapenemase gene and 16S rRNA methylase gene was performed in broth culture with E.coli J53 as the recipient.Pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) was carried out to analyse the genotyping.IEF was performed to detect β-1actamases.Southern blot was performed to determine the location of carbapenem resistance determinant.Results The MICs of 10 antibiotics were ＞32 mg/L.Four β-1actamases with pIs of 5.4 ( TEM-1 ),6.7 ( KPC-2 ),8.2 ( SHV-12 ),8.4 (CTX-M-14) were determined.The insertion sequence in the recombinant plasmid was blaKPC-2 flanked by a transposon.blaKPC-2 was located on a large non-conjugative plasmid whereas armA was located on an other conjugative plasmid.PFGE patterns of 5 isolates were identical.Conclusion KPC-2 was responsible for carbapenem resistance in pandrugs resistant Enterobacter cloacae.There was no relationship between blaKPC-2 and armA.Although pandrug resistant Enterobacteriaceae remain rare,the emergence of this group of organism merits monitoring.

Objective: To investigate the effects of trentment with hydroxythy starch(130/0.4) on the serum albumin and immunologic function in postoperative patients with obstructive jaundice.Methods: 24 patients with obstructive jaundice were randomly divided into the control group(n=12) and hydroxythy starch(130/0.4) (HS) group(n=12). The serum ALB was detected 1d, 3d, 5d, 7d after the operation,and the immunologic index were detected 1d and 7d after the operation.Results: The ALB content of control group and HS group were not significantly different in the postoperative 1d and 7 d(P>0.05) and had significant differences in the postoperative 3 d, 5 d (P<0.05).All immunologic index had no significant differences in the postoperative 1d, 7d (P>0.05).Conclusion: The ALB content of patients with obstructive jaundice may decrease postoperatively. Treatment with hydroxylthy starch(130/0.4) can alleviate the drop of the ALB content. But it has no effects on immunologic function.

Objective To study human lung adenocarcinoma cell line A-549 treated with antagonist and agonist of potassium channel how to affect metastasis of A-549 and its mechanism. Methods Invasion and migration capability of A-549 in vitro was evaluated by using transwell chamber model. Alteration of cytoskeleton was observed through immunofluorescence. Western blotting were used to detect the protein expression of Ezrin and HuR in A-549 cell lines while Glibenclamde and Pinacidil were applied to them. Results In the presence of the antagonist Glibenclamide, migration of A-549 was inhibited by (57.18±5.46)% and invasion was inhibited by (54.92±3.72)% in the transwell assay, meanwhile A-549 manifested disorder of microtubule and more orderly microfilament. And agonist of the potassium channel had an contrary effect on A-549. Ezrin and HuR protein were successfully down-regulated in A-549 treated with Glibenclamide and upregulated in A-549 treated with pinacidil. Conclusion Functional alterations of the potassium channel affects capability of migration and invision of A-549, which is associated with different expression of ezrin and HuR protein that modify cytoskeleton.

Objective To investigate the effect of Propranolol and Phentolamine on neurogenic pulmonary ede-ma(NPE)in rats. Methods One hundred and twenty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups:the con-trol group(group A),the NPE group(group B),the Propranolol treatment group(group C)and the Phentolamine treatment group(group D),30 cases in each group. Diffuse brain injury was induced in the latter 3 groups. The lung wet/ dry ratio was calculated. HE staining was used to measure the histological changes in the lung tissues. The levels of neuropeptide Y(NPY)and substance P(SP)in the serum and the bronchoalveolar lavage fluid(BALF)were detected by enzyme - linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA). The expressions of NPY and SP in the lung tissues were demonstra-ted by immunohistochemical staining,and immunohistochemical scores(IHS)were measured after scarifying the ani-mals at different time points(0. 5,6. 0 and 24. 0 h after injury). Results Compared with group A,water volume in the lungs in group B increased at 24. 0 h(P ﹤ 0. 05);NPY content in the serum was elevated at 6. 0 h,while that in BALF was elevated at 6. 0 h and 24. 0 h(all P ﹤ 0. 05);SP content in the serum was elevated at 0. 5 h and 6. 0 h(all P ﹤0. 05),while that in BALF was elevated at 0. 5 h(P ﹤ 0. 05);The expression of NPY protein in the lung tissue in-creased at 0. 5 h,6. 0 h and 24. 0 h(all P ﹤ 0. 05),while the level of SP protein increased at 0. 5 h(P ﹤ 0. 05). Com-pared with group B,water volume in the lungs in group C was higher at 6. 0 h and 24. 0 h(all P ﹤ 0. 05);NPY concen-trations in the serum were higher at 6. 0 h and 24. 0 h(all P ﹤ 0. 05),while those in BALF were higher at 0. 5 h, 6. 0 h,and 24. 0 h(all P ﹤ 0. 05);SP concentrations in serum and BALF were higher at 0. 5 h(all P ﹤ 0. 05). The ex-pression of NPY protein increased at 6. 0 h(P ﹤ 0. 05),while the levels of SP protein increased at 0. 5 h,6. 0 h and 24. 0 h(all P ﹤ 0. 05). Compared with group B,the level of NPY in serum in group D was lower at 6. 0 h,and that in BALF was lower at 6. 0 h and 24. 0 h(all P ﹤ 0. 05). The level of SP in serum was lower at 0. 5 h(P ﹤ 0. 05). The ex-pression of NPY protein decreased at 6. 0 h and 24. 0 h(all P ﹤ 0. 05),while the levels of SP protein decreased at 0. 5 h(P ﹤ 0. 05). Conclusions Phentolamine is effective in reducing NPE through reduction of NPY and SP,while propranolol can stimulate the release of NPY and SP to aggravate NPE following traumatic brain injury in rats.

OBJECTIVE To investigate antimicrobial resistance and molecular epidemiology profiles of meticillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus(MRSA)sampled from lower respiratory tract.METHODS Totally 107 MRSA strains were isolated from lower respiratory tract specimens at Shanghai Pulmonary Hospital between Dec 2005 and Dec 2006.PVL genes were detected by PCR.The genotypes of SCCmec were identified by multiplex PCR.The antimicrobial resistance of MRSA were tested by Kirby-Bauer agar dilution.We also performed the homology of 32 MRSA strains using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis(PFGE).RESULTS All of the 107 MRSA strains were negative in the PVL locus detection and the most frequent SCCmec types were type Ⅲ(81.3%),the others including type Ⅱ(15.9%),type Ⅳ(2.8%),type Ⅰ and type Ⅴ were not found in this group.Those 3 different types of SCCmec were all resistant to ?-lactam antibiotics,less resistant to rifampin,and susceptible to vancomycin,teicoplanin and daptomycin.The resistant rate of those 3 types were different to the non-?-lactam antimicrobial drugs such as trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole,clindamycin,erythromycin,gentamicin,levofloxacin,and tetracycline,the resistant rate in the types Ⅱ and Ⅲ was significantly higher than the type Ⅳ.PFGE analyses assorted the 32 MRSA strains into 4 PFGE patterns:pulsotype A(25 strains),including subtypes A1(17strains),A2(1 strain)and A3(7 strains);pulsotype B(5 strains),pulsotype C(1 strain),and pulsotype D(1 strain).CONCLUSIONS This study does not found positive PVL locus in the MRSA strains in our hospital,the most frequent SCCmec types are type Ⅲ and some are type Ⅱ.PFGE presented that there are outbreaks of MRSA in ICU ward and TB ward No 5 at that time and the pandemic strains are subtypes A1 and A3,most of these MRSA strains are multiple resistant,which deserves attention from both the clinical staff and infection-control department of the hospital.
