1.Antiplatelet agent resistance and prevention and treatment of stroke
International Journal of Cerebrovascular Diseases 2013;21(5):378-384
A large number of studies have confirmed that antiplatelet agents reduce the relative risk of stroke,myocardial infarction,or death by an average of 22%.However,many patients still have thrombotic events during the period of taking anti-platelet agents,and this is called anti-platelet agent resistance.Its incidences reported are very different.The incidence of aspirin is 3% to 85%,and that of clopidogrel is 28% to 44%.The exact cause of antiplatelet agent resistance remains unclear.It may be associated with several factors,including decreased drug bioavailability,genetic polymorphisms,activation of other platelet activation pathways,and increased circulating platelets.Currently,a variety of laboratory methods have been used to detect antiplatelet agent resistance,its criteria are different.In addition,the response measures of antiplatelet agent resistance also have no conclusion,and this has brought greater difficulties for the prevention and treatment of stroke.
2.Applications of functional near-infrared spectroscopy in clinical pediatric
Chinese Journal of Applied Clinical Pediatrics 2014;29(18):1363-1367
Functional near-infrared spectroscopy is a non-invasive optical brain function detection technology,which can do multi-point measurement of changes on cerebral cortical area corresponding to the oxygenation of the blood hemoglobin and deoxygenated hemoglobin concentration,and then reflect the state of brain cortex function.Its greatest advantage is to allow the subjects head moving in a certain range,especially suitable for children.At present this technology could be applied to clinical pediatric,such as epilepsy,autism,attention deficit/hyperactivity disorder,neonatal disease,neurosurgery and cardiovascular surgery,etc.Functional near-infrared spectroscopy technology will have more applications in the field of research on brain function.

In order to evaluate the anti-influenza virus activity of the effective monomer from Folium Isatidis (FI) in vivo, we established mice model with viral pneumonia and divided them into 3 different dose groups, then observed their lung indexes, pulmonary pathological changes, pulmonary virus hemagglitination titers, living time and death rates. The results showed that the monomer could reduce the pulmonary index from 2.64 to 1.93, 1.63 and 1.40 (P<0.01) and decrease the hemagglitination titer from 1.15 to 0.84, 0.70 and 0.59 (P<0.01). In addition,the living time from 5.1d to 6.5d, 8.4d and 8.9d respectively(P<0.01). The high dose (75 mg/kg/d) has the similar effect with 100 mg/kg/d dose of virazole(P>0.05), and more effective than 200 mg/kg/d dose of antiviral liquor (P<0.05).

BACKGROUND:Breviscapine treatment of cerebral infarction has curative effects, few side effects, stable long-term efficacy and few side effects, which can improve the micro-environment of damaged central nervous system after cerebral infarction.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of breviscapine injection combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation on neurological recovery and growth-associated protein 43 expression in rats after cerebral infarction.
METHODS:Sixty Sprague-Dawley rats undergoing middle cerebral artery occlusion were randomized into cerebral infarction group, cel transplantation group and combined group. At 6 hours after modeling, 1 mL PBS, 1 mL bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel suspension (2.5×106), and 1 mL bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel suspension (2.5×106)+75 mg/kg breviscapine injection were respectively injected via the tail vein in the three groups, once a day, continuously for 5 days.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 2 weeks after transplantation, BrdU-positive bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were mainly gathered in the peri-infarction region, and the number of positive cels was higher in the combined group than the other two groups (P < 0.01). At 1, 2, 3 weeks after transplantation, the neurological deficit scores were significantly lower in the combined group than the other two groups (P < 0.05). At 2 weeks after transplantation, the combined group had smaler infarct size, milder edema, and higher expression of growth-associated protein 43 as compared with the other two groups (P < 0.05). Under light microscope, glial cels proliferated dramaticaly and brain edema significantly reduced in the combined group. These findings indicate that breviscapine injection combined with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation can significantly reduce infarct size and brain edema, promote neurological recovery and increase the expression of growth-associated protein 43 in rats with cerebral infarction.

Recombinant antibodies have become the major growth trends in biotech industry following their success on therapeutic application and good revenue. But the low level of mammalian expression and laggard fermentation process constrained the development of antibody industry in China. The global advances of antibody industry were reviewed, compared the respective advantage between dihydrofolate reductase and glutamine synthetase expression system, continuous perfusion and fed-batch processes were compared. Finally, based on the knowledge and experience of antibody expression and fermentation, the suitable strategy of antibody industrialization, e.g. the fermentation model and scale, should depend on the comprehensive consideration of entrepreneur for the productivity, manufacturing capacity and market revenue. It may be a wise choice to use glutamine synthetase expression system and continuous perfusion process for the need of Chinese antibody industrialization.

AIM: To investigate the role of nitric oxide (NO) in vascular hyporeactivity during prolonged hemorrhagic shock (HS). METHODS: Anesthetized Sprague-Dawley rats (180-220 g) were subjected to HS insult in which they were bled to a mean arterial pressure (MAP) of 40 mmHg (5.33 kPa) and arteriolar reactivity to norepinephrine in spinotrapezius was detected. The constant MAP of 40 mmHg was maintained until vascular hyporeactivity had occurred and then were resuscitated or sacrificed for further analysis. NO synthase (NOS) activity was measured ex vivo by the conversion of [3H]-arginine to [3H]-citrulline in homogenates from heart, lung, liver, spleen, duodunum, skeletal muscle. 24 h survival rates of resuscitated rats were observed with and without administration of aminoguanidine (AG), a selective inducible NOS (iNOS) inhibitor. Mesenteric arteriolar smooth muscle cells (ASMC) were isolated, and the effects of L-arginine (L-Arg) on membrane potential (MP) of ASMC were determined by fluorescent probe and confocal microscopy in the absence and presence of AG. RESULTS: When vascular hyporeactivity occurred, an increase of NOS activity was observed in liver and heart. Resuscitated rats with AG had a higher survival rate compared with that of control. The MP of ASMC was decreased (more negative) immediately following the addition of L-Arg, and the hyperpolarization effects of L-Arg were partially blocked in the presence of AG. CONCLUSION: These results suggest that excessive NO produced in HS is responsible for the occurrence of vascular hyporeactivity in prolonged hemorrhagic shock, and one of the mechanisms of which may be hyperpolarization of ASMC caused by NO.
