Objective To study the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome(SARA). Methods Clinical data from 682 patients with SARS were retrospectively analyzed. Results The patients ranged from 13 to 76 years old, 387 male and 295 female. A total of 356 patients (52.2) had a history of close contact with diagnosed SARS patients, and 113 (25.1%) had been to hospital ever. The most common symptom was fever (99.3%), followed by cough (44.4%), shortness of breath (12.2% ), diarrhea (8.9%). 596 patients (87.4%) had normal or decreased white blood cell counts. Serum ALT and CPK levels were elevated in 112 patients (16.4%)and 17 patients (2.5%) respectively. Infiltrates on chest radiography were seen in all patients, with 69.8% involved both lungs. Six patients (0.9%) died of SARS. Conclusion SARS is infectious. Hospital is an important place where SARS transmits. Fever, cough and infiltrative changes on chest radiography are mainly symptoms and signs.

Objective To study the function and mechanism of GIT1(G protein coupled receptor kinase interacting protein 1)in osteoblast migration.Methods GIT1 and ERK1/2(Extracellular Signal-regulated ki- nase 1/2)were detected in mice primary osteoblasts.The localizations of GIT1 and ERK1/2 were determined by immunofluorescence stain with or without PDGF(platelet-derived grnwth factor)stimulation.The association of GIT1 anti ERK1/2 was analyzed by co-immunoprecipitation and western blot.After stimulation,the co-localization of GIT1 and pERK1/2 in osteoblasts was detected by double-immunnfluorescence stain.The pERK1/2 localization was detected by immunofluorescence stain after GIT1RNAh adenovirus infection of osteoblasts.The role of this associa- tion was determined by wound healing assay.Results The co-immunoprecipitation results showed that GIT1 in- teracted with ERK1/2 in osteoblasts induced by PDGF and this association occurred in focal adhesions.GIT1 RNAh adenovirus significantly inhibited the pERK1/2 translocation to focal adhesions and osteoblast migration induced by PDGF.Conclusion GIT1 associates with ERK1/2 in osteoblasts,which is required for pERK1/2 translocation to focal adhesions and osteoblast migration.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of embryonic dermal signal on the hair-inductive capacity of neonatal mice dermal cells which have been amplified in vitro.
METHODSEmbryonic mice dermal cells of embryonic day 14 were added to a chamber on the back of nude mice with neonatal mice dermal cells which had been amplified in vitro for 3 days and freshly isolated neonatal mice epidermal cells. The hair regeneration was compared between the groups with or without embryonic mice dermal cells. Meanwhile, chambers with following cells respectively were constructed as controls: embryonic mice dermal cells + neonatal mice epidermal cells; freshly isolated neonatal mice dermal cells + neonatal mice epidermal cells; amplified neonatal mice dermal cells only; embryonic mice dermal cells only; freshly isolated neonatal mice dermal cells only; neonatal mice epidermal cells only.
RESULTSThe number of regenerated hairs with the aid of embryonic mice dermal cells (207 +/- 15. 948) was significantly higher than that (67 +/- 8.963) in the group without embryonic mice dermal cells (n = 3, t = 7.653, P = 0.002).
CONCLUSIONEmbryonic dermal signal can enhance the hair-inductive capacity of neonatal mice dermal cells which have been amplified in vitro.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of 6-gingerol, the main active component of ginger, on hair shaft elongation in vitro and hair growth in vivo.
METHODSFirstly, Hair follicles were co-cultured with 3 different concentration of 6-gingerol for 5 days and hair elongation in three groups was measured. Secondly, The proliferative effect of 6-gingerol on DPCs was measured using MTT assay. Thirdly, the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in DPCs were measured using Western blotting. In vivo study, the influence of 6-gingerol on hair growth in C57BL/6 rats was measured through topical application of 6-gingerol on the dorsal skin of each animal.
RESULTSThe length of hair shaft in 20 microg/ml 6-Gingerol group (0.50 +/- 0.08 mm) is less than 0 microg/ml (0.66 +/- 0.19) mm and 10 microg/ml (0.64 +/- 0.03) mm 6-Gingerol group (P < 0.05). In cell culture, compared to 0 microg/ml and 5 microg/ml 6-Gingerol, 10 microg/ml 6-Gingerol can significantly inhibited the proliferation of DPCs (P < 0.05). Along with the growth inhibition of DPCs by 6-gingerol, the Bax/Bcl-2 ratio increased obviously. In vivo study, the hair length and density decreased a lot after using 1 mg/ml 6-gingerol.
CONCLUSIONS6-Gingerol can suppress human hair shaft elongation because it has pro-apoptotic effects on DPCs via increasing Bax/Bcl-2 ratio. It might inhibit hair growth by prolonging the telogen stage in vivo.

Objective To study the expression and change of neuropeptide substance P (SP) during the wound healing of deep partial thickness scalding in diabetic rats. Methods Eighty-four Wistar rats were randomly divided into diabetes mellitus group (n=42) and control group (n=42). Diabetic rat models were established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin (STZ) in diabetes mellitus group, and those in control group were intraperitoneally injected with aseptic citrate buffer solution. Deep partial thickness scalding with diameter of 2 cm on the back were prepared in all the rats. The pre-scalding and post-scalding wound specimens of different time points were obtained, and the percentages of wound closure were calculated. The wound specimens were also obtained for immunohistological staining to compare the areas with positive staining of SP, and ELISA was employed to detect the expression of SP in the wound tissues. Results The percentage of wound closure was significantly lower in diabetes mellitus group than that in control group from 7 days post-scalding (P< 0.01). The areas with positive staining of SP in diabetes mellitus group were much smaller than those in control group at different time points, which was most significant on the seventh day post-scalding[(1 350.93±99.28) μm2 vs(1 715.86± 103.41) μm2](P < 0.01). The expression of SP in the wound tissues was significantly lower in diabetes mellitus group than that in control group at different time points, which was most significant on the seventh day post-scalding[(114.04±9.96) vs(143.39±8.94)](P<0.01). Conclusion The significantly lower expression of SP in wound site may be one of the causes of delayed wound healing in diabetic rats.
