Objective To investigate the effects of local delivery c-myc antisense oligodexynucleotides on neointimal hyperplasia after angioplasty in rabbits. Methods The celiac arterial endothelium of 75 male Japanese white rabbit (2.5?0.5 kg) were denuded after being fed with cholesterol-supplemented diet to establish the model of atherosclerotic stenosis of celiac arteries. The animals were randomized into the antisense DNA group (Group Ⅰ), sense DNA group (Group Ⅱ), saline control group (Group Ⅲ) and simple angioplasty group (Group Ⅳ). The drugs were injected intramurally using a porous balloon. The local vessels were collected at the 24 th hour and the 4 th week after the procedure for morphological observation. C-myc mRNA level was measured by means of RT-PCR and c-myc protein with immunohistochemical staining. Results RT-PCR showed that c-myc mRNA level in Group Ⅰ was lower than that of Group Ⅱ, Group Ⅲ and Group Ⅳ after the first 24 hours. The ratio of neointimal area (NEA) to medial area (MA) and NEA/MA in Group Ⅰ were significantly less than those of Group Ⅱ, Group Ⅲ and Group Ⅳ. Immunohistochemical staining showed that the percentage of c-myc protein positive cells was less in Group Ⅰ than those of the other groups. Conclusion Transcatheter local delivery of c-myc antisense oligonucleotides reduces neointimal hyperplasia after angioplasty in rabbits.

Objective:To deeply understand the real experience of family members of patients in the neurosurgery intensive care unit during the period of accompanying them, and to provide reference for managers to formulate nursing countermeasures to improve the coping ability of family members.Methods:Descriptive phenomenological research method in qualitative research was adopted to conduct in-depth interviews with family members of 12 patients admitted to a neurosurgery intensive care unit in Shanghai, manage the interview data with Nvivo11 software, and use Colaizzi's seven-step analysis method to summarize and analyze the topic.Results:There were four themes: adhere to and do not give up, adhere to was due to the trust and affirmation of the medical care, do not give up was because it was difficult to give up blood kinship, adhere to the hope of life because of patients; timing change of emotional experience, first aid period: helpless to rescue and expecting the condition to stabilize, complication peak: understanding the characteristics of the disease and paying attention to the treatment progress, stable period: uncertain prognosis and desire for emotional companionship.The powerlessness of the future; learn to self psychological adjustment.Conclusions:The family members of patients with severe neurological diseases have both negative experience and positive feelings, and the accompanying experience and needs at different stages of the disease are changing dynamically. According to the cognition and needs of the family members, exploring and developing palliative medicine, tapping the potential of the family members from a positive perspective and improving coping ability are one of the ways to maintain the stable mental health of the family members.

This was a restrospective clinical study of 32 children with fractured anantierior tooth fragments. The teeth was reattached by dual cured resin composite (Panavia F), 3M Z350 resin and 3M siglebond-2 bonding agent for at least 6-month recall examination. Only 2 of the restorations were lost, resulting in a 93.75% overall retention rate. The retention teeth exhibited good esthetics and normal function. The high retention rate in this study suggests that reattachment of fractured anantierior tooth fragments offers a convenient viable restorative option for the clinician.

Objective To detect the expression of FoxO3a in adipose tissue from KKay diabetic mice and the effects of treatment with rosiglitazone and metformin on FoxO3a expression in adipose tissue in order to understand the mechanism of insulin resistance.Methods Mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: the group without any treatment,group with rosiglitazone and group treated with metformin 3 g/kg/day.Control group consists of 7 C57BL mice 16.Dispatched the mice and sampled adipose tissue to measure the protein concentration by Bradford method and to detect Foxo3a protein expression on adipose tissue by Western Blot with multiple colony antibody 1∶1250.Results Foxo3a was highly expressed in adipose from KKAy diabetic mice as compared with that in control group(FoxO3a/?-actin ratio 1.76?0.19 vs 1.15?0.10,P

Objective To detect the expression of FoxO1 and FoxO3a in liver and muscle tissue from KKAy diabetic mice.Methods Study group consists of 7 KKAy diabetic mice until 12 weeks,thereafter fed high fat diet for 4 weeks.It was diagnosed as diabetes when blood glucose was more than(16.7 mmol/L) in two consequent weeks.Control group consists of 7 C57BL mice 16 week old.Dispatched the mice and took quadriceps of femoris muscle and liver tissue to detect the FoxO1 and FoxO3a protein expression by Western blot with antibody.Results Liver and muscle FoxO1 expression was higher in KKAy diabetic mice than that in C57BL mice.FoxO3a expression was much higher in liver than in muscle in both groups.Muscle FoxO3a expression was higher in KKAy diabetic mice than that in control mice.Conclusion FoxO1 and FoxO3a in liver and muscle expressed differently in diabetic mice and control mice.They may play a role in mechanisms of insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes mellitus.

Objective To detect protein PTEN in live and muscle tissue of KKAy diabetic mice and to investigate whether PTEN is associated with the insulin resistance in diabetic KKAy mice.Methods Animals were divided into normal diet C57BL group(n=7,sixteen-week-old C57BL mice),high fat diet C57BL group(n=7),diabetic KKAy group(n=7),the latter two groups were fed with normal diet until week 12,followed by high fat diet for 4 weeks.Blood glucose was measured every week,it would be diagnosed of diabetes if blood glucose more than 300 mg/dl(16.7 mmol/L) in two consecutive weeks.Dispatched the mice,took quadriceps of femoris muscle and liver tissue,added tissue lytic solution,measured the protein concentration by Bradford method and detect the PTEN protein expression in muscle and liver tissue by Western bolts methods.Results The PTEN protein level was significantly increased in quadriceps muscle and live tissue in KKAy mice as compared to the both age-matched C57BL control groups(P

Objective To observe the effect of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) transplantation on the expression of growth associated protein-43 (GAP-43) in rats after spinal cord injury (SCI). Methods The SCI models were made by impacting at the level of T11 segment. After modeling, the rats were randomly and equally divided into control group (n=18) and observation group (n=18). 1 week after injury, DMEM/F12 medium 0.1 ml was injected into tail vein of rats in the control group, and an equal volume of BMSCs suspension was injected in the observation group. 1, 2, 4, 8 weeks after SCI, the hindlimb function was evaluated by the Basso-Beattie-Bresnahan (BBB) score. 2, 4, 8 weeks after SCI, the expression of GAP-43 mRNA was detected by RT-PCR, and the expression of GAP-43 was detect-ed by the immunohistochemistry. Results 2, 4, 8 weeks after SCI, compared with the control group, The BBB score increased, the expres-sion of GAP-43 mRNA and GAP-43 increased in the observation group (P<0.05). Conclusion BMSCs transplantation can improve the ex-pression of GAP-43 in gene and protein level, and then promote the repair of SCI.

According to the latest research findings on nitrogen removal in both domestic and abroad, the mechanism for simultaneous nitrification and denitrifi cation(SND)was reviewed and analyzed in various aspects including macroenviron ment and microenvironment theory as well as biology theory The works such as t he realization of SND by aerobic granular sludge, simultaneous nitrogen and phos phorus removal, which could be done in the future, were proposed
