Different doses of ~(90)Y glass microspheres weres injected into the livers of rabbits under ultrasound guidance to observe the distribution of isotope in the body and the histologic alteration in the liver. The result showed that the isotope microspheres were only limited at the injected areas. The areas o.f bremsstrahlung ranged 4.1～12.55cm~2(mean 8.45cm~2). Whole body scanning revealed that the isotope was not observed outside the liver and no injury of non-target organ was present. When the dose was 35 mci, complete necrosis appeared in the hepatic cells within the bremsstrahlung areas. The study indicales that intrahepatic injection of ~(90)Y glass microspheres is accurmuate in locallization, produces high local iradiation energy and may become a non-surgical way for treating carcinoma of liver.

To explore the stability of Shenkang injection respectively in five different solutions to choose the best com-patibility program and improve the rational drug use. Methods:The pH value, insoluble particles and the content of protocatechuic al-dehyde in Shenkang injection were determined after mixed with five solutions. Results:In the 6-hour mixing, the change order of proto-catechuic aldehyde content was 0. 9% sodium chloride injection> 5% fructose injection> 10% invert sugar injection > 5% dextrose injection> 10% glucose injection, especially in 0. 9% sodium chloride injection, the content was decreased by 20%. The number of insoluble particles was increased after the 2-hour mixing except in 10% invert sugar injection solution, and the increase in the four so-lutions was beyond the requirement in the 2010 edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia, and the number of insoluble particles in 0. 9% sodi-um chloride injection was the highest with the fastest change. During the experimental process, the pH value was stable. Conclusion:The five solutions show influence on stability of Shenkang injection in varying degrees. Shenkang injection in 0. 9% sodium chloride in-jection is the least stable, which should be used with caution in clinics, while invert sugar injection and glucose injection can be the best choice for Shenkang injection and the mixed solution should be used up in 2h.

Objective Scutellarin (SCU), a Chinese traditional medicine, has a protective effect against ischemia-reperfusion (IR) induced myocardial injury, but it is not yet clear whether SCU acts against vascular endothelial IR injury via extracellular signal-regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2).The aim of this study was to explore the effect of SCU on hypoxia-reoxygenation (HR)-induced injury to human cardiac microvascular endothelial cells (HCMECs) and its influence on the ERK1/2 signaling pathway.Methods HCMECs were subjected to normal culture and divided into a normal control, a DMSO, an SCU 1 μmol/L, and an SCU 10 μmol/L group.The model of HR injury was established by exposing the HCMECs to 12-h hypoxia and 12-h reoxygenation after treated with DMSO or SCU at 1 and 10 μmol/L for 2 hours.Then, the survival rate of the HCMECs was detected by MTT and trypan blue staining, the concentration of malondialdehyde (MDA) in the cells measured, and the expressions of the p-ERK1/2, ERK2 and GAPDH proteins determined by Western blot.Results SCU at 1 and 10 μmol/L significantly increased the survival rate of the normally cultured HCMECs ([110.40±2.34] and [122.00±1.25] ％) as compared with that of the normal control (100％) (P<0.05), while HR injury markedly decreased the vitality of the HCMECs ([68.00±4.06] ％) in comparison with that of the blank control (100％) (P<0.05).The survival rate of the HCMECs was remarkably higher in the HR+SCU 1 μmol/L and HR+SCU 10 μmol/L groups than in the HR model group ([90.53±3.67] and [92.04±2.32] ％) (P<0.05), and so was their vitality in the SCU 10 μmol/L group than in the normal control ([96.78±2.01] vs [90.06±1.85] ％, P<0.01), while their survival rate was significantly lower in the HR model than in the blank control ([73.72±4.91] vs [91.83±2.34] ％, P<0.01) and remarkably higher in the SCU 10 μmol/L ([87.59±2.64] ％) than in the HR model group (P<0.05).The MDA concentration in the HCMECs was markedly increased in the HR model and HR+DMSO groups as compared with the blank control (P<0.01), but decreased in the HR+SCU 1 μmol/L and HR+SCU 10 μmol/L groups in comparison with the HR model group (P<0.05).The expression of the p-ERK1/2 protein was significantly down-regulated in the HR model group as compared with the blank control (P<0.01), but up-regulated in the HR+SCU 10 μmol/L group in comparison with the HR model (P<0.01).Conclusion HR injury reduces the vitality of HCMECs, increases the MDA concentration, and down-regulates the expression of the p-ERK1/2 protein in HCMECs, while SCU acts against ischemia-reperfusion injury to HCMECs by increasing ERK phosphorylation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of all-trans retinoic acid (ATRA) on the differentiation of marrow stromal stem cells(MSCs)into neurons. Methods: Rat MSCs were expanded as undifferentiated cells in culture for 5-7 passages and pretreated with ATRA for 24 h, then induced by modified neuronal medium (MNM) for 18 h. The control cells were directly cultured in MNM without ATRA pretreatment. Immunocytochemistry was used to detect the expression of nestin, neuron-specific enolase (NSE), neuron-specific nuclear protein (NeuN) and microtuble-associated protein (MAP-2) in the experimental groups and the control cells. The change of cell proliferative cycles and the expression of retinoic acid receptor beta (RAR?) were detected before and after ATRA treatment. Results: 1. The expression of nestin, NSE, NeuN and MAP-2 was much higher than that of the control group. 2. No changes were found in the cell proliferative cycles before and after ATRA treatment. 3. No expression of RAR? was found in MSCs; but positive expression of RAR? was detected afer 24 h of ATRA treatment and it was (20.3?4.2)%. Conclusion: ATRA can activate gene transcription via nuclear receptor RAR? and promote MSCs transdifferentiation into neurons.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects and the possible mechanism of fecal transplantation on rats with Clostridium difficile-associated pseudomembranous colitis. Methods A total of 40 Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into four groups including the healthy control group, model group, fecal transplant treatment group and vancomycin treatment group. Rats in three experimental groups were subcuta-neously injected with clindamycin phosphate (10 mg), followed by treatment with toxin producing Clostridi-um difficile (ACTT43255) enema 24 hours later. The rats in fecal transplant treatment group and vancomy-cin treatment group were respectively treated with fecal suspension and vancomycin one day after modeling. The rats were fasted for one day after the last administration and then executed. The levels of potassium ion ( K) , sodium ion ( Na) , albumin ( ALB) , white blood cells ( WBC) , C-reaction protein ( CRP) , interleu-kin-1β ( IL-1β) , interleukin-10 ( IL-10 ) , interleukin-12 ( IL-12 ) and interleukin-17 ( IL-17 ) as well as the percentage of neutrophils ( N%) in serum samples were detected. The colon tissue samples were collect-ed for pathology examination. Results The rat model of pseudomembranous colitis was successfully estab-lished by subcutaneous injection of clindamycin in combination with toxin-producing Clostridium difficile (ACTT43255) enema. The signs of intestinal inflammation including serious weight loss, remarkably short-ened colon length and significantly increased colon wet weight index were observed in rats from the model group (P<0. 05). Compared with the rats from model group, the rats received fecal transplant showed sig-nificantly increased levels of K, ALB, IL-10 and IL-10/IL-12 in serum and decreased levels of WBC, N%, CRP, IL-1β and IL-17 (P<0. 05). Conclusion Fecal transplantation was proved to be an effective ap-proach for the treatment of pseudomembranous colitis. The therapeutic mechanism might due to its impacts on serum inflammatory factors.

Objective To investigate the stimulating effect of exogenous hydrogen sulfide (H2S) on angiogenesis in glioblastoma (GBM). Methods Twenty adult Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into two groups, glioma group (C6 glioma cell intracerebral implantation, n=10) and glioma-H2S group (C6 glioma cell intracerebral implantation and sodium hydrosulfide (NaHS) intraperitoneal injection, n=10). The tumor-bearing rat model was established by intracerebral injection of rat C6 glioma cells. After one week, normal saline was injected in glioma group and NaHS was injected in glio-ma-H2S group. Food and water were freely available during all phases of the experiment. After three weeks, rats were decapi-tated and brains were removed. HE staining was performed to show tumor structure and intratumoral angiogenesis. The immu-nohistochemical analysis was used to detect the expressions of CD34 and MMP-2, respectively. The microvessel density (MVD) in GBM was also measured. Results HE staining showed that the implanted tumors were predominantly spheroid with clear border and no capsule could be detected. The neovascular proliferations were observed in tumors. There were high-er expressions of CD34 and MMP-2 in glioma-H2S group. The value of MVD was significantly higher in glioma-H2S group than that of glioma group (P＜0.01). Conclusion Exogenous H2S serves as a stimulator of angiogenesis in the development of rat GBM, which may be related with the increased MMP-2 expression promoted by H2S.

Objective To study the relationship between gene polymorphism of apolipoprotein E (apolipoproteinE,ApoE)of peripheral blood and Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children.Methods Collected 236 cases serum of inpatient and outpatient screening in children with Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and healthy children between March 2011 and March 2014 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Xi’an Medical University and Xi’an Children’s Hospital,at the age of 3~8 years old,divided into two groups:110 cases of control group and 126 cases of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in chil-dren.Used multiple allele-specific PCR (multi-AS PCR)to detect gene polymorphism of ApoE in each group.Results ApoE gene was polymorphic and 6 genotypes:3 homozygous (ε2/2,ε3/3,ε4/4)and 3 heterozygote (ε3/2,ε3/4,ε4/2).Theε3/2 had four bands,ε3/3,ε3/4 and 4/2 had three bands,ε2/2 andε4/4 had two bands.ε3/3 of ApoE genotype distribution in two groups was the most common,control group was 66.7%,infection group was 46.4%.Allele frequencies ofε3 and genotype frequencies ofε3/3 inMycoplasmapneumoniae infection of children were lower than those in control group (P<0.05).But allele frequencies ofε4 and genotype frequency ofε4/4 in Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection of children were increased, which were compared with those in control group (P<0.05).Conclusion There were an association between ApoE gene polymorphism and the incidence of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection in children.Allelesε3 seems to be a protective factor and allelesε4 may contribute to the development of Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection of children.
