The DNA damage effect was tested in the bacteria, cells and BALB/C mouse by single cell gel electrophoresis (comet assay), the micronucleus test, Ames test. Results Comet assay indicators:all three samples, before chlorinated, at the dosages of 1.0, 5.0 mg/ml, after chlorinated, at the dosages of 0.04, 0.2, 1.0, 5.0 mg/ml for university A, 0.2, 1.0, 5.0 mg/ml for a hotel, 1.0, 5.0 mg/ml for university B, were significantly higher than those in the negative group(P

Objective:To explore antitumor mechanism of a recombinant vaccinia virus expressing human carcinomembryonic antigen(rV CEA).Methods:C57bl/6 mice were immunized three times with rV CEA.Six weeks later,the splenocytes from rV CEA immunized donors were adoptively tranfered in sublethally irradiated CEA + HePa bearing recipients,meanwhile the antiumor effect of the donor splencytes in virtro was detected.Results:Splenocytes from rV CEA immunized donors expressed strong antiumor activity in CEA positive tumorbearing recipients,whereas W VV immunized and nonimmune donor cell did not.The antiumor activity was abolished when immune T cells were depleted before splencytes transfer.Conclusion:It was demonstrated that antiumor acivity induced by rV CEA was essentially mediated by immune T cells which were activated by CEA specific immune response.Adoptive immunotherapy strategies may have implications for both the study of rV CEA and the development of potential clinical applications for tumor immunotherapy.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of small incision extracapsular cataract extraction combined with implantation of artificial lens and phacoemulsification combined with implantation of artificial lens for patients with cataract.Methods One hundred and ten patients (142 eyes) with cataract were selected,55 patients (69 eyes) were treated with small incision extracapsular cataract extraction combined with implantation of artificial lens (observation group),and 55 patients (73 eyes) were treated with phacoemulsification combined with implantation of artificial lens (control group).After treatment,the corrected vision and quality of life were observed 1-week,1-and 3-month after operation,and the complications were recorded.Results The vision 0.6-1.0 of 1-week,1-and 3-month in observation group were 34 eyes (49.3％,34/69),61 eyes (88.4％,61/69) and 63 eyes (91.3％,63/69) respectively,in control group were 37 eyes (50.7％,37/73),64 eyes (87.7％,64/73) and 65 eyes (89.0％,65/73) respectively,there were no statistical differences (P ＞0.05).The quality of life score 1-week,1-and 3-month in observation group were (87.5 ± 10.7),(91.2 ± 5.3),(94.3 ± 5.8) scores respectively,in control group were (85.9 ± 11.5),(90.6 ± 6.7),(94.5 ± 6.0) scores respectively,there were nostatistical differences (P ＞ 0.05).The rate of complications in observation group was 23.2％ (16/69),in control group was 37.0％ (27/73),there was statistical difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The vision recovery and quality of life in cataract patients treated with small incision extracapsular cataract extraction combined with implantation of artificial lens are similar to treated with phacoemulsification combined with implantation of artificial lens.However,with fewer complications,small incision extracapsular cataract extraction combined with implantation of artificial lens is a more safe and reliable treatment method.

Objective To observe the expression of resistin mRNA and protein in adipose tissues of obese rats,and to explore the correlations between resistin and obesity,insulin resistance.Methods Thirty SD rats were divided into control group(n=15) and high-fat diet group(n=15).The rats in control group recieved common forage.The obese and insulin resistance models were induced with high-fat diet in SD rats.The plasma insulin level was determined by double antibody radioinimunity analysis,and automatic biochemistry analyzer in plement was used to detect the plasma free fatty acid.After 11 weeks,glucose tolerance test was carried out to determine blood glucose levels at intervals(0,30,60,90,120 min).Resistin mRNA from fat pads tissue was extracted by RT-PCR,and then its protein was detected by Western blot.The data were analyzed statistically by SPSS 11.5 software.Results After 11 weeks,the rats′ weight in high-fat diet group increased obviously than that of control group,as well as fasting blood glucose,free fat acid homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance(HOMAIR) and the glucose tolerance in high-fat diet group reduced greatly.The resistin mRNA and protein in white adipose tissues were significantly higher in the obese mice than those of control group(Pa

BACKGROUND: Polylactic acid copolymer bone scaffold has excellent biodegradability, and it is easy to be shaped and can promote the formation and growth of bone tissue and blood vessel.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of adipose-derived stem cells(ADSCs)/poly(lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) complex on the biomechanical properties after fracture healing in osteoporotic bone.METHODS: Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups: blank control group received no treatment; the bilateral tibial fracture model was made after 3 months of bilateral ovarian resection in model group; the bilateral tibial fracture model was made and ADSCs were implanted into the bone after 3 months of bilateral ovarian resection in cell therapy group; the bilateral tibial fracture model was made and the PLGA/ADSCs complex was implanted after 3 months of bilateral ovarian resection in combined treatment group.The bone mineral density, callus thickness, biomechanical parameters and the microstructure of the trabecular bone were detected.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The bone density: The bone density of the model group was significantly lower than that of the blank control group (P < 0.05); the bone mineral density of the cell therapy group and the combined treatment group was higher than that of the model group (P < 0.05), but lower than that of the control group (P < 0.05); and the bone mineral density of the combination treatment group was higher than that of the cell therapy group (P < 0.05). (2)Thickness of the callus: The thickness of the callus in the cell therapy group and combined treatment group was higher than that of the model group and blank control group (P < 0.05); moreover, the thickness of the callus in the combined treatment group was higher than that of the cell therapy group (P < 0.05). (3) Biomechanical test: The failure load, stress and shear strength, elastic modulus were decreased in the model group compared with the blank control group (P < 0.05), while the shear strain increased (P < 0.05). Compared with the model group, the failure load, ultimate stress, shear strength, elastic modulus were increased in the cell therapy group and combined treatment group (P < 0.05), and the shear strain was decreased (P < 0.05). Moreover, the combined treatment group showed more changes in these biomechanical parameters (P < 0.05). (4) The trabecular bone microstructure: The model group presented with trabecular derangement, spacing increases, and even fracture and lacuna. After ADSCs or ADSCs/PLGA transplantation,the trabecular bones increased in number, thickness, and spacing, and the number of lacunae reduced. In conclusion,ADSCs combined with PLGA in the treatment of osteoporotic fracture can significantly improve the biomechanical parameters of bone tissue after healing.
