Multiplicity of signals and diversity of signaling pathways exist during the establishment of mycorrhizal associations together with the regulation of symbiosis-specific genes expression.This mechanism of signal recognition and transduction related with development process of the symbiont was reviewed at the molecular level.

Objective To investigate the characteristics of Wegener granulomatosis in children and to improve its recognition. Methods Ten pediatric patients with Wegener granulomatosis were studied retrospectively by clinical manifestations, serum examination, pathological data, treatment, etc. Results All children had clinical evidence of upper respiratory tract and lungs involvement; kidney lesion occurred in 6 cases(6/10); joints, skin, eyes and nervous system were also involved with different degree, cANCA (PR3) showed positive in 8 cases; Pathological examination (1 kidney sample, 2 nasal mucosa samples, 2 skin samples) showed granulomatous vasculitis and crescents were found in renal biopsy; 7 cases were treated with corticosteroid plus cyclophosphamide, 1 case was treated with corticosteroid plus methotrexate, and improvement were seen in all of them. Conclusions Wegener granulomatosis in children have diverse clinical manifestations and clinical diagnosis is difficult. The upper and lower respiratory tract and kidney are most commonly involved organs. ANCA inspection is characteristic. Treatment with corticosteroid and immunosuppressive can achieve good outcome.

Objective To analyze and evaluate the effect of the elbow posterior dislocation with radial head and coronoid fractures (the terrible triad of the elbow). Methods Nine patients of the terrible triad of the elbow were treated from January 2004 to March 2009. Among of them, according to Schatzker-Tile classification, the radial head fractures were 4 in type I , 3 in type II , 2 in type Ⅲ. According to Rogan-Morrey classification, the ulnar coronoid fractures were 2 in type I , 5 in type II , 2 in type Ⅲ. The general approach was to repair the damaged structures sequentially from deep to superficial, from coronoid to anterior capsule to radial head to lateral ligament complex to common extensor origin. If there was valgus instability in the elbow after the operation, repaired medial ligament with nonabsorption suture. Plaster was applied for 7-10 days,in position of with elbow flexion in 90° and the forearm in full pronation. Unrestricted morion was then begun, and strengthening was initiated at 8 weeks. Returned to regular occupation depended on the degree of physical activity required, and it typically taken 3 months for heavy physical laborers to return to work. , Results All patients were followed up for 6-60 (31 ± 6) months. Three months postoperatively, the flexion-extension arc of the elbow was 80° -110° (102° ± 3° ), and the pronation-supination arc of the forearm was 100° -150° (135° ±6°) respectively. According to the criteria of the Mayo score, the results were excellent in 5 cases, good in 3 cases, and fair in 1 case. Three cases were heterotopic ossification 6 months postoperatively, 2 cases of them didn't impact the elbow function, didn't treat, 1 case impact the flexion-extension of the elbow, cut the heterotopic ossification from the lateral approach, Mayo score improved from fair to good. Conclusion The key points for treating the terrible triad of the elbow are recovering the elbow normal anatomy and starting early functional exercises in order to avoid the elbow stiff.

Plasma exchange is a commonly used blood purification method, h includes plasma exchange,double filtration plasmapheresis and immunoadsorption.Many nervous system diseases have the antibody. Guillian-Barre syndrome is caused by antibodies of the nervous system demyelinafing disease; Myasthenia grads is caused by the acetylcholinc receptor antibodies. CIDP also has autoimmune-mediated mechanism. Plasma exchange can be apphed effectively to remove antibodies, and to quickly improve the patient' s clinical symptoms and shorten the course of disease.

Objective: To investigate the relation between proliferation, apoptosis and Bcl-2 in human tongue squamous cell carcinoma(TSCC). Methods: Apoptosis, prolifexation and Bcl-2 protein expression were examined in 7 cases of normal tongue mucosa, 20(10 of Han and 10 of Uygur people) of tongue squamous cell papilloma (TSCP) and 42 of TSCC (30 of well-differentiated and 12 of middle-differentiated ) with immunohistochemical and in situ cell death detection technique. Results: The apoptosis index (TI) and the proliferation index (PI) showed no significant difference between Han and Uygur people or between male and femae, TI and PI in human TSCP were heigher than those in normal tongue mucosa, The proliferation was enhanced and apoptosis was inhibited according to dysplasia degree(P

OBJECTIVETo explore the relationship between angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) gene single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNP) and premature coronary heart disease (PCHD) patients with blood stasis syndrome (BSS).

METHODSrs4343, rs4293, and rs4267385 were selected at SNP from ACE gene. Allele and genotype were detected. Frequencies of allele and genotype were compared by using time-of-flight mass spectrometry technique (TOF-MS).

RESULTSCompared with the healthy control group, genotype of rs4293 and rs4267385 in ACE gene were similar, but there was statistical difference in polymorphisms and allele frequencies of rs4343 in the I and II group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The frequency of G allele was higher in the 3 groups than in the healthy control group (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The relative risk analysis showed that the risk for PCHD occurrence in G allele carriers at rs4343 (GG +AG) was 3. 6 times the risk in non-G allele carriers (95% CI: 1.224-10.585, P = 0.02). There was also statistical difference in sex, age, TC, and TG after adjusted Logistic regression analysis (OR = 3.994, 95% CI: 1.230-12.974, P = 0.021).

CONCLUSIONThe polymorphism at rs4343 (G2350A) might be one of risk factors for PCHD occurrence, but not a predisposing factor for PCHD patients of BSS.

Objective To localize the sinoatrial node (SAN) of the newborn rabbits in vivo and cut it for purifying cultivation and study the morophologic characters of primary cultured pacemaker cells of SAN under light microscope and transmissional electron microscope. Methods Hearts of the newborn rabbits were embedded in paraffin for HE-staining and observed the location, form of SAN under optical microscope; SAN cells isolated from neonatal rabbits cultured and purified with the method of differential attachment and BrdU-treatment.Results SAN localized in the anterior wall of the superior vena cava and the posterior-lateral atrial wall.There was about 0.32 mm between its lowest point and sulcus terminalis. Three distinctly different types of cells were observed among the cultured cells of SAN: spindle, araneiform and polygon. The spindle cells covered the greatest proportion of the cultured cells of SAN (59.6%?7.3%). The frequency of spontaneous contraction of spindle cells was the highest among the constrcting cells (145 ?9)time/min. The results of ultrastructure observation showed that myofibrils and other organelles in spindle cells were poorly organized and significantly decreased in number compared with araneiform cells. There was no significant difference between araneiform cells isolated from SAN and from atrial muscle.Conclusion Among the cultured cells from neonatal rabbits SAN, the spindle cells are the pacemaker cells of SAN.
