Objective To explore the affinify of combination of Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and its L-form with surfactant protein D(SP-D),and to find function of SP-D in Hp infection and immunity. Methods SP-D was extracted from the lung of rats by Tris-HCl-EDTA and maltose-agarose affinity column. The combination of Hp and SP-D was detected by slide and tube agglutination tests,and the agglutination inhibition with SP-D immune serum was carried out. The L-form of Hp was induced by Ceftriaxon sodrum and identified by PCR and sequencing of the 16S rDNA fragment.The combination of SP-D and the L-form was tested by slide agglutination test. Results Agglutination of Hp NCTC11637 and SP-D was observed on slide,but NCTC11639,SS1 and the L-form failed to agglutinate. Agglutination was found 45 minutes after reaction and was inhibited by SP-D immune sera. Conclusion The ability of combination with SP-D was different between strains of Hp.The combination could be weakened or vanished when Hp lost the cell wall.

Aim Toexplorewhether1-methylhydan-toin(MH)could inhibit the basal secretion of growth hormone (GH ) and suppress the promoting effect of growth hormone-releasing hormone (GHRH ) in rab-bits.Methods Thirty-sixrabbitswererandomlydi-vided into six experimental groups according to the kind of dosing drugs,namely normal saline group(A), MH group (B ),octreotide group (C ),GHRH group (D),GHRH +MH group(E),GHRH +octreotide group(F),with 6 rabbits in each group.Blood was sampled (1. 0 mL each time)from each rabbit before injecting drugs and 5,15,30,45,60 min after drug administration.Clotting spontaneously,rabbits blood samples were centrifugated for 20 minutes at approxi-mately 1000 ×g and the supernatant was collected. Serum GH concentrations were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay kit(ELISA Kit).Mean-while,the behavior of rabbits in each group after injec-tingdrugswascloselyobserved.Results TheGH level of rabbits in group A at each time point had no significant differences(P>0. 05 ).Group B and group C rabbit GH levels were significantly lower than those of group A (P<0. 05 ),while GH levels in group D were obviously higher than those of group A (P <0. 05 ).Compared with group D,rabbit GH levels in group E and group F decreased markedly(P<0. 05 ). No obvious toxic and side effects had been observed within one week after the experimental rabbits were ad-ministered corresponding drugs by intravenous injec-tion.Conclusions 1-methylhydantoincouldinhibit the basal secretion of GH in rabbits.1-methylhydan-toin could suppress the promoting effect of GHRH in rabbits.

Objective To investigate the effects of interventions on psychological stress factors of nurses in the emergency department of general hospital. Methods Symptom checklist 90(SCL-90)was used for investigation. The corresponding interventions were conducted based on the found problems. Results The mental health of the nurses in general hospital emergency department was worse than that of the general population. Each factor score, the total average score and the number of items after intervention had significant difference than that before intervention respectively. The incidence rate of top 10 symptoms was significantly decreased after the intervention than that before. Conclusions Implementation of comprehensive intervention can significantly improve the mental health of the nurses in emergency department of general hospital.

Aim To study the effect and molecular mechanism of pretreatment with COPP on hypoxia/reoxygenation injury of H9c2 myocytes.Methods H9c2 myocytes model of hypoxia/reoxygenation injury was established and H9c2 myocytes were given COPP pretreatment before hypoxia/reoxygenation.Treatment with Znpp and all-trans retinoic acid(ATRA)inhibited HO-1 and Nrf2-ARE respectively.The level of LDH and CK in cell supernatants were measured.HO-1mRNA expression was analyzed by RT-PCR.HO-1 and Nrf2 protein expressions were analyzed by Western blot.Results Compared with hypoxia/reoxygenation group,the level of LDH and CK in COPP pretreatment groups decreased significantly and the level of HO-1mRNA,HO-1 protein expression and Nrf2 protein expression in the nucleus significantly increased.Znpp abolished protective effect of COPP pretreatment.ATRA blocked the nuclear accumulation of Nrf2 and decreased HO-1 protein expression that COPP pretreatment induced.Conclusions COPP can induce HO-1 overexpression which has protective effect on hypoxia/reoxygenation injury of H9c2 myocytes.Its mechanism is related to Nrf2-ARE signaling pathway.

BACKGROUND: Interlocking intramedullary nails(SliN)is frequently used to treat femoral fracture.Routine pulling and compression and postoperative motorization are important for fracture healing.To improve fracture healing rate has been focused using various factors.OBJECTIVE: To explore the biomechanical performance of static SliN in fixation of femoral fracture,and the effect on fracture healing.METHODS: A total of 8 pairs of femurs from adult cadavers immersed in formalin were used to prepare models of midpiece transverse fracture.The fracture was respectively fixed using static SliN,TiNi shape-memory sawtooth-arm embracing internal fixator(TiNi SMA),and dynamic compression plate(DCP).The anti-compression,anti-bending,and anti-torsion rigidity were measured,and the stress shielding rate was calculated.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: SliN was similar to DCP group in anti-compression rigidity and anti-bending rigidity(P > 0.05),but the anti-torsion was lower than DCP group(P<0.05).Compared with TiNi SMA group,SliN displayed greater anti-compression rigidity and anti-bending rigidity(P<0.05),but similar anti-torsion(P > 0.05).SliN was similar to DCP group in stress shielding rate(P>0.05),but significantly greater than TiNi SMA group(P<0.01).The biomechanics of SliN was stable,but the stress shielding rate was high.Changing static interlocking into dynamic interlocking in time is necessary in clinic to promote fracture healing.

For the establishment of chemical library of protoberberines provided for the bio-activity screening, the target compounds were synthesized by thermal degradation and nucleophilic substitution reactions with the bio-active alkaloid, palmatine (1), as the raw material, and their structures were identified and conformed by 1H-NMR and MS spectra. Among them, 13 compounds were new.

Objective To investigate the analgesic effect of salmon calcitonin(sCT)and its effect on expression of calcitonin receptor(CT-R)in periaqueductal gray(PAG). Methods Rat models of neuropathic pain were prepared by chronic constriction injury(CCI). Thermal withdrawal latency(TWL)and mechanical nociceptive threshold(MNT)were measured using hot plate test and yon Frey monofilaments test. The distribution of CT-R in PAG was detected by immunohistochemical method. CT-R protein was quantitatively determined by western blotting. Fourty male SD rats were randomized into 5 groups: normal group, sham-CCI group, CCI group, CCI plussubcutaneous sCT group, and CCI plus microinjection of sCT into PAG group. Results TWL, MNT, andexpression of CT-R in PAG showed no difference between normal group and sham-CCI group(P＞0. 05). TWL and MNT in CCI group were significantly lower than those in normal group(P＜0.05), and expression of CT-R in CCI group was significantly higher than that in normal group(P＜0.05). TWL, MNT and expression of CT-R in CCI rats increased significantly after sCT therapy(P＜0. 05), and the effect was more marked in PAG injection group than subcutaneous injection group(P＜0.05). Conclusions sCT raises the pain threshold and increase the expression of CT-R in PAG of CCI rats, while PAG injection showed more marked effect than subcutaneous injection.
