BACKGROUND: Previous studies have found that skeletal muscle satellite cell transplantation can induce angiogenesisin myocardial infarction area, reduce infarct size and improve cardiac function. But the overall effect is not satisfactory.OBJECTIVE: To observe the survival of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene modified skeletal muscle satellitecells in acute myocardial infarction and to observe the expression of bFGF gene and the effect of cell transplantation onangiogenesis in myocardial infarction area.METHODS: Eighteen New Zealand white rabbits were divided into three groups by random: skeletal muscle satellite cellgroup (control group), bFGF gene enhanced skeletal muscle satellite cell group (experimental group) and blank controlgroup. The left anterior descending branch of the coronary artery of the rabbits was ligated so as to establish an animalmodel of acute myocardial infarction in the former two groups. After labeled by DAPI before transplantation, the skeletalmuscle satellite cells, bFGF gene modified skeletal muscle satellite cells and the equivalent amount of DMEM/F12 wereinjected into the local infarct myocardium correspondingly. Samples were taken 4 weeks after transplantation. Then, thesurvival of skeletal muscle satellite cells and the expression of bFGF gene were observed under light microscope andfluorescence microscope, and the neovascularization in the myocardial infarction area was examined byimmunohistochemical staining.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: No DAPI-labeled cells were visible in the blank control group, but in the other twogroups, a large amount of DAPI-labeled skeletal muscle satellite cells were seen in the infarction area. Enhanced greenfluorescent protein was highly expressed in the experimental group. Microvessel density in the infarction area washighest in the experimental group followed by the control and blank control groups (P < 0.05). These findings indicatethat bFGF gene modified skeletal muscle satellite cells can survive and promote neovascularization in the acutemyocardial infarction area.

BACKGROUND:Skeletal muscle satel ite cells are totipotential stem cells with multi-directional differentiation potential, locate in skeletal muscle interstitium, have a certain tolerance to ischemia and hypoxia, and are important cells in stem cellengineering.
OBJECTIVE:To establish a thrifty, convenient culture procedure and create a simple, efficient method to transfect skeletal muscle satel ite cells, and investigate genetic expression after the transfection for cellular cardiomyoplasty.
METHODS:Skeletal muscle satel ite cells were isolated from rabbit thigh and cultured. Their growth curves were determined by CKK-8 method. Grouped by different proportions of the plasmid and liposome, skeletal muscle satel ite cells were transfered by the enhanced green fluorescent protein plasmid based on liposome. After transfection, the efficiency and character of target genetic expression was determined.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Satel ite cells were isolated, cultured and transfected successful y. In suitable ratio of plasmid and liposomes, the transfection efficiency reached up to above 35%. The target protein was expressed within 12 hours after transfection, reached maximum in 48-72 hours and decreased gradual y after one week. The expression stil could be observed two weeks latter. The enhanced green fluorescent protein plasmid conducted by cationic liposome could be transfered into skeletal muscle satel ite cells efficiently. The transfection efficiency was correlated closely to the ratio of plasmid and lipofectamine. The change of target gene expression depended on time.

Objective: To carry out an assessment on the public health risk of imported infectious diseases in Jinhua, so as to provide evidence for prevention and control strategies. Methods : Twenty-nine imported infectious diseases were recruited. A risk assessment index system was established by Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process. The actual values of each index of twenty-nine imported infectious diseases were obtained through special investigation,literature review and consultation. The risk scores were calculated by the improved technique for sequencing by approximate ideal solution (TOPSIS) and classified according to median. Results : Among 41 experts recruited, 38 experts were engaged in infectious disease prevention and control, 31 had senior professional titles, and all had worked for more than 10 years. Through three rounds of consultation by Delphi method and analytic hierarchy process, the risk assessment index system (target level) included four items in criteria levels, which were response capacity, public health impact, the possibility of import and local transmission and population vulnerability in a descending order of weight; twenty-seven indicators, with international attention level, levels of medical institutions with confirmed cases, the emergency response capacity of Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDCs) , and effective vaccines with wide coverage weighed higher. There were eleven high-risk diseases, high response capacities lay in dengue, malaria, Zika virus disease and Chikungunya fever. The response capacities for sixteen of the eighteen low-risk diseases were insufficient, especially in emergency response capacity of CDCs, laboratory testing capacity and hospital infection control ability. Conclusion Jinhua has strong capacities to deal with the incidence of dengue fever, malaria, Zika virus disease and Chikungunya fever, compared with other imported infectious diseases.

Objective To analyze the susceptibilities of Escherichia coli isolates collected from blood and the prevalence of ESBLs encoding genes.Methods A total of 121 Escherichia coli isolates collected from blood during 2012 were analyzed for antimicrobial susceptibilities by software of WHONET 5.6,the production of ESBLs was confirmed by confirmatory pheno-typic testing,PCR and DNA sequence were further implemented to analyze the ESBLs-encoding genes.Results 121 E.coli isolates displayed high resistance towards broad spectrum penicillin and 2nd or 3rd generation cephalosporins,levofloxacin and cotrimoxazole,with the resistance rates being more than 40%,susceptibilities to imipenem,piperacillin/tazobactam,ami-kacin were observed,with the resistance rates to be less than 12%,86(88.7%)out of 121 isolates were found to produce ESBLs.Among them,59.5% (72),38.8% (47)and 4.1% (5)were confirmed to carry blaCTX-M,blaTEM and blaSHV genes.Additionally,2(1.7%)isolates carried all the genes detected,30(24.8%)isolates carried both of blaCTX and bla-TEM,1(0.8%)isolate carried both of blaSHV andblaTEM.Conclusion Most of the E.coli isolates from the blood culture in Nanjing Gulou Hospital produce ESBLs,and displayed resistance towards most of the penicillins,cephalosporins and sin-gle amide antimicrobial agents should be chosen according to susceptibility results.

Objective To analyze the correlation between CD4+ T cell count and HLA-DR or CD38 expression on peripheral CD8+ T cells in treatment-naive Chinese HIV/AIDS patients.Methods A total of 471 treatment-naive HIV-infected patients and 53 healthy volunteers were enrolled.HLA-DR or CD38 expression on peripheral CD8+ T cells, CD4+ T cell count, naive CD4+ T cell subsets and CD28 expression on T cells were measured by flow cytometry.Plasma HIV RNA load was quantified by real-time PCR (COBAS TaqMan RT-PCR).Mann-Whitney U test and Spearman's rank correlation test were used for statistical analysis.Results CD38 expression intensity on CD8+ T cells was negatively correlated with CD4+ T cell count (r =-0.53, P ＜ 0.001) and naive CD4+ T cell count (r =-0.48, P ＜ 0.001).CD38 expression on CD8+ T cells also displayed significantly negative correlation with CD28 expression on CD8+ T cells (r =-0.46, P ＜ 0.001).HLA-DR expression on CD8+ T cells did not show significant correlation with CD4+ T cell count.Only weak positive correlation was found between CD38 intensity on CD8+ T cells and plasma HIV RNA load.Conclusions Compared with HLA-DR, CD38 expression on CD8+ T cells shows more significant negative correlation with CD4+ T cell count in treatment-naive patients.CD38 and HLA-DR may play different roles on the persistent immune activation in HIV infection.

Objective To investigate the short-term acute rejection incidence of the recipients under the steroid-free immunosuppressive therapy after liver transplantation. Methods This retrospective study included 186 patients who were divided into two groups by random number table.The patients in no steroid group (the study group, n =94) received tacrolimus (Tac) with mycophemolate mofetil (MMF) or cyclosporine with MMF,and those in the steroid group (the control group,n =92) received the aforementioned immunosuppressive therapy combined with steroids.The acute rejection incidence was analyzed during six months post-transplantation.Results There was no significant difference in the gender,age,indication for transplantation,Child-Pugh score,MELD score,operating time,bleeding and transfusion volume during the operation,warm ischemia time and cold ischemia time between the two groups (P＞0.05).Liver biopsy was done on 9 cases of each group.The acute rejection incidence had no significant difference between the study group and the control group (5/94 vs 4/92,5.3％ vs 4.4％,P＞0.05).Conclusion The steroid-free immunosuppressive therapy after liver transplantation did not increase the short term acute rejection incidence.

Objective To evaluate the influence of long-term nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors (NRTIs) on lipids metabolism in HIV/AIDS patients and correlating clinical factors.Methods A total of 118 HIV/AIDS patients were divided into 3 groups:untreated group (40 patients),highly active antiretroviral therapy(HAART) for 1-2 years group (37 patients) and HAART over 5 years group (41 patients),with 20 healthy individuals as the control group.Clinical lipodystrophy (LD) was defined as concordance between patient's report of change and physical examination.Fat mass (FM) was measured by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).Results There was no significant difference in the incidence of LD between HAART for 1-2 years group and HAART over 5 years group (51.2％ vs 40.5％,P =0.345).The prevalence of LD was 2.4 folds with strvudine (d4T) treatment compared with zidovudine (AZT)-containing regimens (61.6％ vs 23.5％,P =0.001).Based on DXA measurements,FM of total body and limbs were significantly lower in the HAART over 5 years group than that in the control group,the untreated group and the HAART for 1-2 years group (P ＜ 0.05).Trunk FM was significantly lower in the HAART over 5 years group than the untreated group and the HAART for 1-2 years group (P ＜ 0.05).FM of total body and trunk were significantly lower in patients without LD in the HAART over 5 years group than patients without LD in the HAART for 1-2 years group (P ＜ 0.05).FM was correlated positively with body weight and BMI.Limbs FM was correlated negatively with peripheral blood triglyceride concentration.Conclusions HIV/AIDS patients with NRTIs therapy have high prevalence of LD,which mainly occurs 1-2 years after therapy,and increases with d4T treatment compared with AZT-containing regimens.There was no significant difference in the incidence of LD between the HAART for 1-2 years group and the HAART over 5 years group.FM was significantly decreased after long-term HAART in the patients with or without LD.DXA can evaluate LD objectively and guide further clinical treatment.
