Objective To investigate the relationship between the expression of FAS/FASL and spermatogenesis in the contralateral testis after unilateral testicular torsion in puberty Sprague-Dawley rats. Methods Five groups of side testicular torsion adolescence SD rats model were established as follows:group A as control group, group B for testicular torsion group,group C for testicular torsion plus methylprednisolone group, D for reverse side testes excision group, and Group E testes excision plus methylprednisolone group for reverse side. SD rats were treated with testicular resection and/or injection of methylprednisolone after torsion for 24 h. The rats were executed at postoperative 1 month, and contralateral testes were collected for histopathological examination. Expression of FAS and FASL was analyzed quantitatively by immunohistochemistry with a computer pathological image analysis system. Each rat was evaluated with regard to endocrine parameters (follicle-stimulating hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone ( LH) and testosterone ( T) by radioimmunoassay. Results Histopathological examination of the contralateral testes showed that either orchiectomy or orchiectomy plus methylprednisolone was more successful than no treatment. Fas/FasL protein in both control group and 4 experimental groups were expressed. B group showed more expression of FAS and FASL than that of the other groups. FSH, LH and T were normal in all cases. Conclusion Unilateral testicular torsion in puberty SD rats may result in higher expression of FAS and FASL, and accelerate germ cell apoptosis and subfertility. Methylprednisolone may decrease the expression of FAS and FASL and maintain spermatogenesis in the contralateral testis after the unilateral testicular torsion.

BACKGROUND: Systematic family therapy focuses on the interaction,and group counseling contributes to the improving of interpersonal relationship. To introduce the ideas and techniques of systematic family therapy into school situations, which is necessary to the peer relationship improvement of disliked children in the class.OBJECTIVE: To study the feasibility of introducing the ideas and techniques of systematic family therapy into school situations with the aim of improving the peer relationship.DESIGN: Inequality experiment group and control group design.SETTING: Institute of Educational Sciences and Administration, Yunnan Normal University.PARTICIPANTS: The experiment was carried out in Kunming No.l Primary School from September 2000 to April 2001. Two out of three ordinary classes in Grade Six were chosen to take part in the experiment at the school. Both classes were similar in performance, total number and composing. Class 3 of Grade 6 (n=46) was made experiment class randomly,and Class 1 of Grade 6 (n=41) was comparison class. Children of both classes were measured by the Social Distance Scale for Children at the same time, which was described in 5 grades. All children were required to evaluate their classmates by the list. The following 5 grades respectively scored 5, 4, 3, 2 and 1 point: making best friend with him or her willingly,hope to be with him or her in the same class but not the best friend, being with him or her willingly but not many times or too long, he or her may be in our class but have no intercourse, hope him or her not to be in our class. The evaluation result was statistically analyzed, and the higher the mean score of child had, the more popular he was. Five male children who was the farthest from their peers in the experiment class were taken as the experiment group according to the score of Social Distance Scale for Children, who were 12-13 years old with a mean age of 12.7 years. Another 5male children in the other class were selected as the control group by the same way, who were 12-13 years old with a mean age of 12.5 years.METHODS: The idea of systematic family therapy was introduced into the experiment group, including 10 times of group counseling, which were carried out by games, role-playing, group discussion, brain-storming etc.The "everyday work" was assigned to the class as the techniques of systematic family therapy required, especially for children in the experiment group such as "keep secret progress account", and teachers and classmates were required to watch and note their members' progress secretly.While children in the control group and corresponding class were given no intervention measure. Children of both classes were tested by the Social Distance Scale for Children to evaluate the changes in peer relationship during and after the experiment respectively. And children in the experiment group were required to fill in the Group Activity Viewpoint Questionnaire.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Comparison in score of Social Distance Scale for Children before, during and after the intervention, and the investigation on viewpoint about group activity in the experiment group.RESULTS: A total of 10 children in both groups were involved in the analysis of results. There was no significant difference between children of the two groups in social distance before intervention and during it(t=0.232,1.089, P ＞ 0.05). It cotld be Iearnt from the experiment after test that the score in children of the experiment group was remarkably higher than that of the control group (t=3.169, P ＜ 0.05). The effect of group activity on children in the experiment group was remarkably clear and excellent.CONCLUSION: It is effect and feasible to introduce the idea and techniques of systematic family therapy into school situations, aiming at improving the peer relationship of children.

AIM: To explore the feasibility of culturing human umbilical vein endothelial cells ( HUVEC ) on acellular corneal stroma and performing the posterior lamellar endothelial keratoplasty ( PLEK ) treating corneal endothelial decompensation.
METHODS: Thirty New-Zealand rabbits were divided into three groups randomly, 10 rabbits for experimental group, 10 for stroma group and 10 for control group. Corneal endothelial cells were removed to establish animal model of corneal endothelial failure. PLEK was performed on the rabbits of experimental group and stroma group, and nothing was transplantated onto the rabbits of control group with the deep layer excised only. Postoperative observation was taken for 3mo. The degree of corneal edema and central corneal thickness were recorded for statistical analysis.
RESULTS:Corneas in experimental group were relieved in edema obviously compared with that in stroma group and the control group, and showed increased transparency 7d after the operation. The average density of endothelial cells was 2 026. 4±129. 3cells/mm2 , and average central corneal thickness was 505. 2±25. 4μm in experimental group, while 1 535. 6±114. 5μm in stroma group and 1 493. 5±70. 2μm in control group 3mo after operation.
CONCLUSION:We achieved preliminary success in our study that culturing HUVEC on acellular corneal stroma and performing PLEK for corneal endothelial decompensation. HUVEC transplanted could survive in vivo, and have normal biological function of keeping cornea transparent. This study provides a new idea and a new way clinically for the treatment of corneal endothelial diseases.

Recently, it is reported that regulatory T cells (Tregs) can be reprogrammed into a novel population [interleu?kin (IL)-17+Foxp3+T cells] phenotypically and functionally resembling Th17 cells under complicated cytokine circumstanc?es. IL-17+Foxp3+T cells are characterized by production of IL-17 and expression of retinoic acid receptor related orphan re?ceptor (ROR)γt, demonstrating dual functions in immune response and providing novel insight into the interconnection be?tween Tregs and Th17 cells. In this review, we lay emphasis on the phenotype features, origination, differentiation and the pleiotropic functions of IL-17+Foxp3+T cells. Furthermore, we summarized the functions of IL-17+Foxp3+T cells in inflam?matory disease and tumor microenvironment.

BACKGROUND:Current research has shown that tumor necrosis factorαstimulated gene 6 (TSG-6) has anti-inflammatory effect, and the scar formation can be inhibited by local injection of TSG-6 protein at the early stage of trauma. However, the mechanism of this effect is stil unclear. OBJECTIVE:To construct the lentiviral expression vector and shRNA vector for human TSG-6, with stable overexpression, transfection and interference, and to explore the effect of TSG-6 on proliferation and apoptosis of keloid fibroblast cel lines. METHODS:Human keloid fibroblast cel s were isolated from the keloid’s tissue by enzyme digestion and identified by immunocytochemistry assay. Lentiviral vectors pLVX-puro-TSG-6 and pLVX-shRNA1-TSG-6 were constructed and transfected into human keloid fibroblast, exclusively. Expression levels of TSG-6 mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and western blot assay. MTT assay and flow cytometry were used to estimate the cel proliferation and apoptosis in each group after transfection. In addition, expression of Bcl-2, p53 and active-caspase-3 were detected by western blot assay in each group. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Human keloid fibroblasts were separated successful y. Under the light microscope, cel s were spindle. Immunohistochemical staining for vimentin was performed in the fifth passage of cel s, with the positive rate of 100%. Cel s were negative for cytokeratin. (2) Recombinant lentiviral vectors and stably transfected cel lines were successful y established. TSG-6 gene expression was altered apparently. Compared with the control group, cel proliferation was delayed and apoptotic rate was noticeably increased in TSG-6 gene overexpression group. Cel proliferation increased and apoptotic rate decreased in the TSG-6 gene intervention group (P<0.05). (3) Western blot assay results demonstrated that Bcl-2 expression reduced, P53 and Active-caspase-3 expression significantly increased in the TSG-6 gene overexpression group (P<0.05). (4) These finding showed that TSG-6 could inhibit proliferation and induce apoptosis in keloid fibroblasts. Its mechanism may be associated with the down-regulation of Bcl-2 protein expression, up-regulation of P53 protein expression and increased Caspase-3 activity.

Objective To study the significance of plasma homocysteine(Hcy),high sensitivity C-reactive protein(hs-CRP)and cardiac treponin T(cTnT)changes in the patients with coronary heart diseases(CHD).Methods From August 2012 to November 2013,240 patients with CHD in our hospital were collected as the CHD group and 250 individuals of healthy physical examination served as the control group.Serum Hcy,hs-CRP and cTnT were detected by using the enzymatic cycle assay,immune scatter turbi-dimetry and electrochemiluminescence assay respectively.The data were statistically analyzed by the SPSS software.Results The serum levels of Hcy,hs-CRP and cTnT in the CHD group were (24.89±17.78)μmol/L,(17.43±35.89)mg/L and (0.76±2.36) ng/mL respectively,which were significantly higher than those in the control group(P <0.001).Moreover,the positive rate of Hcy in the CHD group was the highest (81 .25%),followed by hs-CRP(64.58%)and cTnT (58.75%).Conclusion Hcy,hs-CRP and cTnT played important roles in the development and progression of CHD,so reducing Hcy level may be an important pathway for preventing and treating CHD.
