AIM: To explore the effects of selenium-enriched Spirulina platensis (Se-SP) on proliferation of hepatocytes in rat hepatectomy. METHODS: Rat hepaectomy model was conducted using male Wistar rats. The rats were randomized into five groups: operation groups with 150 (H), 50 (M) and 15 (L) mg?kg-1?d-1 of Se-SP, placebo-control (P) and sham operation group (F). Activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and thioredoxin reductases (TR) in hepatocytes were determined by chemical colorimetry. The expression index of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in hepatocytes was detected by immunohistochemistry, and the level of [3H]-TDR incorporation in regenerative hepatocytes was analyzed by radio-immunity. RESULTS: Activity of GPx and TR, PCNA expression index as well as [3H]-TDR insertion in hepatocytes (in vitro) were obviously higher (P

Objective To explore the effects of selenium enriched Spirulina platensis(Se-SP) on(antioxidation) and regeneration of rat hepatocytes after partial hepatectomy.Methods Sixty-seven percent(hepatectomy) was performed in rats after high dose(H) and low dose(L) Se-SP was given via gastric tube for 7 days.Then selenium(Se),glutathione peroxidase(GPx),superoxide dismutase(SOD) and(malondiaoldehyde)(MDA) in hepatocytes were determined.The results were compared with normal saline(giving) via gastric tube before hepatectomy(C) and sham operation(S) groups.Hepatocytes were obtained(before) operation and 24h after operation,and the expression index of proliferating cell nuclear antigen((PCNA)) in hepatocytes was detected by immunohistochemistry,and the DNA damage of hepatocytes induced by peroxide was analyzed by comet assay.Results After partial hepatectomy,Se content,GPx and SOD(activity),and PCNA expression index were obviously higher(P

Objective To explore the relations between physiological retrogressive auricular fibrillation and organical pathological auricular fibrillation in elderly patients.Methods 36 cases paroxysmal auricular fibrillation in elderly patients without organical pathogeny were monitored for 24 hours using dynamic electrocardiogram.The attack time and frequency of paroxysmal auricular fibrillation,the change of heart rate,and other type arrhythmia complexing were analyzed.Results Most cases of paroxysmal auricular fibrillation in elderly patients were companied with arrhythmia,supraventricular arrhythmia occupy in the first place especially.The ventricle rate was slow in most cases.The attack had different rhythm in day and night,there were two flows and one edd in one day.Conclusion The elderly auricular fibrillation is associated with the physiological anaplasia of auricular muscle and artro-ventricular junction area directly.It also relates to the heighten excitability of pneumogastric nerve and secretive conduction.

Objective To explore the invasion effect of CXCR3 overexpression on T lymphoblastic leukemia (Jurkat cells) with chemokine receptors. Methods Mouse CXCR3 was amplified by RT-PCR and overexpressing CXCR3 lentivirus carrying GFP&Puromycin (puro) was constructed. CXCR3 expression on infected Jurkat cells surface was detected by FCM. Constructed cells were seeded in Transwell invasion model to study whether CXCR3 overexpression would increase the invasion or not. Results GFP expression on Jurkat cells was less than 10% after 96 h lentivirus infection. CXCR3 expression was 90% higher than vector group , and GFP expression reached 90% after screening. Therefore, Jurkat cells with stable overexpression of CXCR3 were successfully constructed. Invasion rate of Jurkat CXCR3 cells was [(12.71 ± 1.03)%], which was significant higher than that of vector control group [(6.82 ± 0.49)%], (P < 0.0001). Conclusions CXCR3 expression on leukemia cells is closely associated with leukemia invasion. The increase of CXCR3 expression can enhance the invasion of leukemia cells, and may be one of the mechanisms of T lymphoblastic leukemia invasion.

Objective To evaluate the role of TCD examination in diagnosis of the early cerebrovascular diseases in aged diabetic patients.Methods 179 cases of aged type Ⅱ diabetic patients were divided into three groups(PDR,BDR and NDB)according to their retinopathy.TCD and retina examination were performed in all patients and the data be analysed. Results (1)The systolic peak flow velocity(Vp) of MCA、ACA、ICA and BA were significant increased in diabetic pa- tients than in normal control group(P

A safe and effective anesthesia technique is necessary in ensuring a successful surgical operation in rabbit experiments.A variety of anesthesiamethod have been reported, yet, no one matured and widely accepted anesthesiamethod is available so far.This article aims to provide an information basis for further research on general anesthesia in rabbits by reviewing the literature on single and combined anesthesia techniques in rabbits reported in the last decade.

Objective To induce mice bone marrow(BM) mono-nuclear cells into dendritic cells(DC) in vitro,and then produce function vaccine of anti-myeloma by bone marrow derived dendritic cells(BM-DC).Methods Mono-nuclear cells separated from mice bone marrow were cultured in tissue culture plastics which supplemented granulocyte-macrophage clonystimulating factor(GM-CSF),IL-4.During the 8 days,there were numerous of mature DCs outgrown,and then fused with SP 2/0 myeloma cells in logarithmic growth phase cultured with 8-azaguaine by polyethylene(PEG).The resulting purified DC/myeloma hybrids were generated by selecting with hypoxanthine-aminopterin-thymidine(HAT).The specific anti-tumor activity was examined in vitro.Results Mono-nuclear cells derived from BM cultured by supplement propriate cytokines milieu in tissue culture plastics,and then exposed to lipopolysaccharide(LPS).There were plenty of mature DCs appear as early as day 8,and exhibit dramatic veils of cytoplasm and extensive dendrites in their surfaces,high express CD11c(83.19%),major histocompatibility complex(MHC)-Ⅱ(95.25%),CD86(89.24%),their capacity to stimulate primary T cell responses in mixed leukocyte reaction(MLR) would be shown strongly.Hybrids could grow well through PEG fusion and HAT selection.These hybrids could stimulate naive T cells into cytotoxic T-lymphocyte(CTLs) directed against SP 2/0 myeloma,and exhibit strong specific killed ability.Conclusions BM-DCs is fused with tumor cells ensure the tumor associated antigens could be processed and presented effectively,and stimulate specific anti-tumor immunity so that prevent or cure this kind of tumor.So it's feasible in practice to produce anti-tumor vaccine by BM-DCs.

AIM:To investigate the efficacy of controlled continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis(CCC) technique in short axial length and shallow anterior chamber eyes.METHODS:Sixty-eight patients(68 eyes) with short axial length and shallow anterior chamber were included.The routine CCC technique was used in 32 cases (32 eyes) and controlled CCC technique was used in 36 cases (36 eyes).The success rate and complication were compared between two groups. RESULTS:The success rate of the routine technique group and controlled technique group was 53. 13% and 86.11% respectively. Incomplete CCC leading to posterior capsule tears was 9.38% and zero in two groups respectively.CONCLUSION: Controlled CCC technique can increase the success rate and reduce complications in short axial length and shallow anterior chamber eyes.KEYWORDS:phacoemulsification; continuous curvilinear capsulorhexis; complication
