BACKGROUND:Integfin levels can affect cellular function,regulate bone formation and bone resorption.However,this process need activated by other factors,whether recombinant human bone morphogenetic protein 2 (rhBMP-2)has this effect is poorly understood.OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of the different concentration of rhBMP-2 on the expression of inergrin β_1 during the mandibular dfScraction in rabbits.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The randomized,controlled.animal grouping experiment of histological observation was performed at the Animal ExperimentaI Center and Immunohistochemistry Center of Liaoning Medical University from May 2006 to May 2007.MATERIALS:A total of 45 Japanese white rabbits were used.rhBMP-2 was supplied by Beijing Academy of Military Medical Sciences.METHODS:The rabbits were prepared for mandibular distraction models and randomly assigned into control,1.5 mg rhBMP-2 and 3.0 mg rhBMP-2 groups.with 15 animals in each group.Collagen sponge and collagen binding proteins were implanted into mandibles of rabbits,respectively,and distraction 0.4 mm per time,twice per day for 5 days.The mandibles were lengthened 4 mm.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:The expression of integrin 131 was detected using immunohistochemistry at days 1,3,7,14,and 28 after distraction.RESULTS:All rabbits were included in the final analysis.The integdn β_1 mainly expressed at 7 days after distraction.At the same time point.when concenrtation rhBMP-2 was increased,the positive integrin β_1 rate and positive stained area percentage were increased(P<0.05).Compared to the same concentration,the positive integrin β_1 rate and positive stained area percentage were gradually increased as time prolonged (P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The integdn β_1 expression can be promoted by rhBMP-2 at the anaphase of mandibular distraction osteogenesis in a concentration-dependent manner.

Subject To explore the features of the abnormalities of the sex chromatin and the sex chromosome of the patients with mental disorders. Methods The sex chromatin in the cells of buccal mucous membrane of the 2 784 patients with mental disorders were examined by using a blinding and random way. The chromosome karyotypes in peripheral blood were further examined in those whose measure showed abnormal. The comparison group consisted of 1 069 normal persons.Results Compaired with the control group,the average frequency of Y chromatin in the male patients [(28.0±6.6)%] and the average frequency of X chromatin in the female patients [(22.3±8.0)%] rose significantly ; the average frequency of X chromatin in the female patients of the schizophrenia subgroup and the affective disorder subgroup were higher than that of neurosis and psychogenic mental disorder subgroup. X chromatins of eight male patients were positive and the karyotypes of the abnormal X chromosome were 47,XXY in 3 cases and 47,XXY/46,XY in 5 cases, the rate of 47,XXY was 7.7 , it rose significantly to the control group. X chromatin of two female patients were negative and the karyotypes of the abnormal X chromosome was 45,X/46,XX, the rate of 45,X was 1.2 ; one female patient had double X chromatin and the karyotypes of the abnormal X chromosome was 47,XXX/46,XX,there is no abnormal sex chromatin and sex chromosome in the control group.Conclusions The higher rate of the sex chromatin might be closely associated with the tendency of heredity of mental disorders , and the rate of the lacking X chromosome in females and the increasing X chromosome in males rise in the patients with mental disorders.

AIM　To elucidate the structure of the glycan of SPPA-1, a glycoconjugate isolated from Spirulina platensis. METHODS　Methylation analysis, GC/MS, and 1D, 2DNMR techniques were used to determine the structures of the glycoconjugate (SPPA-1). RESULTS　SPPA-1 was only composed of α-D-glucose and shown to be a (1→4) linked α-D-glucan to which a few glucosyl side chains are attached at O-6 of the glucosyl residues of the main chain. CONCLUSION　The glycan of SPPA-1 is a new glucan.

Objective: To analyze the hints role of surveillance cultures of Carbapenem-resistant Enterobacteriaceae (CRE) by perianal swabs in patients with hematological diseases, and seek risk factors of CRE bloodstream infection. Methods: The resistance of CRE from 2 914 patients with hematological diseases who cultured perianal swabs, CRE bloodstream infection and risk factors were analyzed during January 2016 to December 2017. Results: In this study, perianal swabs from 2 914 patients with hematological diseases were cultured, 74 patients were CRE positive, and bloodstream infection with CRE was found in 13 of these patients. A total of 87 CRE strains were isolated (The same patient only keep the first one for the same location), including 31 Klebsiella pheuminiae, 43 Escherichia coli, 8 Enterobacter cloacae and 6 other Enterobacteriaceae. The resistance rates to piperacillin / tazobactam, imipenem, meropenam, amikacin, levofloxacin, tigecycline were 91.9%, 74.4%, 98.8%, 17.6%, 74.4% and 8.0%, respectively. Resistance to carbapenem, aminoglycoside, quinolones and tegacycline were highly consistent between two sites from 13 patients, whose both perianal swabs and blood were positive in CRE cultures. Febrile neutropenic time, digestive tract symptoms and perianal infection were independent risk factors for bloodstream infection in patients with perianal swabs positive results, the odds ratios (OR) were 1.10 (P=0.029), 1.13 (P=0.005) and 1.23 (P=0.016), respectively. Conclusion Perianal swabs surveillance cultures of CRE can be hints for CRE bloodstream infection in patients with hematological diseases, and also can provide suggestions for antibiotics. Long time of febrile neutropenic, digestive tract symptoms and perianal infection can be the early warning for CRE bloodstream infections.
