ve To assess the protective effect of L-arginine on vascular endothelial cell during cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB). Methods 12 adult healthy mongrel dogs of either sex weighing 10-15kg, were divided into L-arginine group (group L, n=6) and control group (group C, n=6) . Femoral artery and vein were cannulated for monitoring of MAP and CVP. Right internal jugular vein was cannulated with Swan-Ganz catheter for hemodynamic monitoring. L-arginine 100 mg?kg-1 was administered intravenously before CPB followed by continuous intravenous infusion at 10mg?kg-1.min-1 to the end of CPB in group L. Control group was treated as group L except the administration of L-arginine. Venous blood samples were taken before CPB, 5min after CPB was started, 15, 45min after aortic cross-clamping and 15, 30min after release of aortic cross-clamp for determination of the plasma levels of metabolites of nitric oxide (NO2- and NO3-), malondialdehyde (MDA) and von Willebrand Factor(vWF). Hemodynamic parameters were measured before CPB, 15 and 30min after release of aortic clamp. Specimens of tissue from femoral artery and descending aorta were taken for microscopic examination at 15,45 min after aortic cross-clamping and 30min after release of aortic cross-clamp.Results There was little difference in plasma NO2- and NO3-concentrations before CPB between the two groups. NO2- and NO3- levels increased significantly after CPB in both groups but were significantly higher in group L than those in group C (P

Metabolic processes of vinorelbine can be described as first order process of three-compartment model in cancer patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of epidermal growth factor (EGF) on the proliferation , migration and apoptosis of adipose-derived stem cells (ADSCs) in vitro. Methods Starved cell model and FasL-induced apoptosis model were established in serum-free media. The effects of 10 nmol/L and 100 nmol/L of EGF on the proliferation, migration and apoptosis of ADSCs in vitro were observed. The exrpessions of signal pathway proteins like phospholipaseC-γ(PLC-γ) , extracellular regulated kinase (ERK) and AKT were also detected. Results The proliferation, migration and anti-ap-optosis of ADSCs were promoted by 10 nmol/L or 100 nmol/L of EGF, and the expressions of PLC-'y, ERK and AKT were up-regulated. Conclusion EGF can promote the proliferation, migration and an-ti-apoptosis of adipose-derived ADSCs in vitro.

Objective To explore any changes in surface electromyogram (sEMG) signals from the lumboabdominal muscles during exercise on stable and unstable surfaces. Methods sEMG signals from the lumbo-abdominal muscles of 33 healthy young persons [18 male and 12 female; average age (26.5 ± 4.3 ) years] were measured with the FlexComp Infiniti apparatus.Each subject performed 5 exercises on and off a Swiss ball:sit,bridge,bridge with both knees flexed,reverse bridge as well as press-up. Results ①In bridging there was a significant increase in the activation of the erector spinae during exercise on the ball compared with on the stable surface.②Bridging with both knees flexed gave a significant increase in activations of the erector spinae,the external obliques and the transverses abdominus/internal obliques during exercise on the unstable surface compared with the stable surface.③During reverse bridging there was a significant increase in activation of the erector spinae and rectus abdominus during exercise on the unstable surface compared with the stable surface.④During press-ups there was a significant increase in activation of the rectus abdominus,the external obliques and the transverses abdominus/internal obliques during exercise on the ball compared with the stable surface. Conclusion The unstable surface provides better training stimulus for the activation of the lumbo-abdominal muscles.

Objective To investigate neutrophil lymphocyte ratio (NLR) in early-stage diabetic nephropathy and its clinic significance. Methods The 145 subjects were divided into two groups:the healthy control group (n=54) and early stage diabetic nephropathy group (n=91). The numbers of neutrophils (N) and lymphocytes (L) as well as the NLR values of peripheral blood and other biochemistry index were examined. Factors of early stage diabetic nephropathy were calculated us?ing variance and logistic regression analysis. Results Creatinine(Cr), total cholesterol(TC), triglyceride(TG), LDL-C, neu?trophils number and CRP in DN group were significantly higher than those of the control group and lymphocytes numbers of DN group were significantly lower than that of the control group (P<0.05 respectively);NLR values were significantly higher in diabetic nephropathy group compared with those of healthy control group(2.52±0.57 vs 1.82±0.60,t=6.997, P<0.01). Lo?gistic regression analysis showed that the risk factors of DN include NLR, TG and total cholesterol. NLR ( P <0.001, OR=8.951, OR 95%CI:3.595-22.287) was significantly associated with DN. Conclusion High NLR values may be a predic?tive and reliable marker ofearly-stage DN.

To construct a recombinant plasmid Pet23a-M, the gene encoding severe acute respiratory syndrome (SARS) coronavirus membrane protein was amplified by RT-PCR and cloned into the expression plasmid Pet23a. Results of restriction endonuclease analysis, PCR detection and DNA sequencing analysis revealed that the cloned DNA sequence was the same as that reported. The recombinants were transformed into Escherichia coli (E. Coli) BL21 (DE3) and induced by Isopropyl-beta-D-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG). The expression of 27 kD (1 kD=0.992 1 ku) protein was detected by SDS-PAGE and pured by metal chelated chromatography. Results of Western-blot showed that this expressed protein could react with antibodies in sera of SARS patients during convalescence. This provided the basis for the further study on SARS virus vaccine and diagnostic agents.
