OBJECTIVETo examine whether TLR-4 has an effect on hemorrhage induced changes in lung, and to investigate the change of heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) on acute lung injury (ALI) induced by hemorrhagic shock in mice.

METHODSForty-eight male mice, including C3H/HeN mice and C3H/HeJ mice, were randomly divided into sham group (n=12), hemorrhagic shock group with twelve mice in each phase. Blood pressure (BP) was monitored continuously by attaching carotid artery catheter to a strain gauge pressure transducer/ polygraph. Arterial blood samples were taken for blood gas analysis. A mouse model of non-lethal hemorrhagic shock and resuscitation was used to observe pulmonary myeloperoxidase (MPO) activity and wet/dry weight ratio (W/D). The expression of HO-1 was observed by means of RT-PCR and immunohistochemistry. IL-6 and IL-10 in lung tissue homogenate were assayed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). The pulmonary pathologic changes were observed under electron microscope and light microscope.

RESULTSCompared with sham group, the expression of HO-1 in lung tissue was significantly higher in Hem 24 h and Hem 48 h of C3H/HeN mice (P less than 0.01). The expression of HO-1 mRNA and the levels of IL-6, IL-10 and MPO in lung tissue were markedly increased in Hem 24 h (P less than 0.01 or P less than 0.05); Compared with C3H/HeN mice, the expression of HO-1 mRNA and the levels of IL-6 and IL-10 in C3H/HeJ mice significantly decreased in Hem 24 h and Hem 48 h (P less than 0.01 or P less than 0.05), and the W/D, MPO in C3H/HeJ mice were obviously lower in Hem 24 h (P less than 0.05). The injuries of lung tissues after hemorrhagic shock have been demonstrated by histological examination with electron microscope and light microscope.

CONCLUSIONSTLR-4 and HO-1 might modulate the balance of pro- and anti-inflammatory processes in inflammatory reaction of hemorrhagic shock-induced ALI, and the activation of Toll-like receptor might induce the transcription activity of HO-1, which may play a key role in acute lung injury.

To explore the antibacterial activity and mechanism of total alkaloids and berberine from Coptidis Rhizoma on Aeromonas hydrophila, and determine the effect of total alkaloids and berberine from Coptidis Rhizoma on minimum inhibitory concentrations, permeability and fluidity of cell membrane, conformation of membrane proteins and virulence factors of A. hydrophila. The results showed that both total alkaloids and berberine from Coptidis Rhizoma had antibacterial activities on A. hydrophila, with minimum inhibitory concentrations of 62.5 and 125 mg · L(-1), respectively. Total alkaloids and berberine from Coptidis Rhizoma could increase the fluidity of membrane, change the conformation of membrane porteins and increase the permeability of bacteria membrane by 24.52% and 19.66%, respectively. Besides, total alkaloids and berberine from Coptidis Rhizoma significantly decreased the hemolysis of exotoxin and the mRNA expressions of aerA and hlyA (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), the secretion of endotoxin and the mRNA expression of LpxC (P < 0.05, P < 0.01). The results suggested that the antibacterial activity of total alkaloids and berberine from Coptidis Rhizoma on A. hydrophila may be related to the bacteria membrane injury. They inhibited the bacterial growth by increasing membrane lipid fluidity and changing conformation of membrane proteins, and reduced the secretion of virulence factors of A. hydrophila to weaken the pathogenicity.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the methylation Oct4 in orientation induced differentiation in bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells

METHODSMice BMSCs were isolated and purified from bone marrow by adherent culture,and then identified by morphology and immunocytochemistry.Mouse osteoblastic cells were cultured by bone fragments inoculation,and then identified by alkaline phosphatase(AKP)staining and alizarin red staining.BMSCs were induced to differentiate into osteoblasts in vitro. Indirect immunofluorescence staining and reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT PCR)were used to detect the expressions of Oct4 in BMSCs before and after induction.The methylation status of Oct4 gene in mouse BMSCs was explored by a methylation specific PCR before and after induction

RESULTSThe isolated mice BMSCs massively proliferated in vitro and formed cell colones with uniform morphology.Positive expressions of CD29,cKit,and CD44 and negative expression of CD34 were found in the isolated cells.After 10 days[DK]'[DK] induction,both AKP and the alizarin red were positive in cells and osteoblastic cells isolated from mice skull bones.The indirect immunoinfluorescence staining and RT-PCR also showed that the Oct4 expression in the directed differentiation of mouse BMSCs was down-regulated.The CpG island of Otc4 gene promoter in mouse BMSCs became methylated during the induced differentiation.

CONCLUSIONSMice BMSCs and osteoblasts were successfully cultured in vitro in this studyOct4 may be involved in the maintenance of adult stem cell pluripotency.The down regulated expression of Oct4 gene in mouse BMSCs during the directed differentiation may contribute to the methylation of CpG island in Otc4 gene promoter.

To look for the toxicity fraction of Euphorbia pekinensis and discuss the vinegar processing mechanism. The level of intestinal edema, water content of intestine and stool, IC50 values of IEC-6 were applied to evaluate the toxicity of different fractions. RT-PCR was employed for detecting AQP1, AQP3 mRNA expression. The petroleum ether (PE) fraction and ethyl acetate (EtOAc) fraction could significant cause intestinal edema in mice, increase the water content of duodenum, colon and stool, inhibited the mRNA expression of AQP1 and increased the mRNA level of AQP3 in colon, and the petroleum ether (PE) fraction was more poisonous. After the petroleum ether (PE) fraction was processed with vinegar, the level of intestinal edema, water content of duodenum, colon, stool and inhibition ratio of cells line were reduced. And we compared the composition change after vinegar processing, finding that the conpekinensis.

OBJECTIVETo study the efficacy of bedside treatment by laser photocoagulation for retinopathy of prematurity (ROP) in preterm infants hospitalized in the Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU).

METHODSThe clinical data of 30 cases of ROP who underwent peripheral laser ablation on bedside in the NICU from March to August 2009 were studied retrospectively.

RESULTSA total of 59 eyes from 30 patients received the laser therapy, with a total cure rate of 95%. According to the International Classification of ROP, 26 eyes of 13 infants had zone 1 disease, and 33 eyes of 17 infants had zone 2 disease. The birth gestational age and birth weight as well as corrected gestational age and corrected weight at operation in the zone 1 disease group were significantly lower than those in the zone 2 disease group. The number of laser spots in the zone 1 disease group was significantly higher than that in the zone 2 disease group. The cure rate in the zone 2 disease group (100%) was significantly higher than that in the zone 1 disease group (88%).

CONCLUSIONSLaser retinal photocoagulation on bedside in the NICU is effective for both zone 1 and zone 2 ROP. As compared with the infants with zone 2 disease, the infants with zone 1 disease may have a poor outcome.

Objective:To summarize and analyze the status of health cooperation achievement strategies between China and the countries along the "Belt and Road",determine the implications thereof, and provide reference for future practical cooperation between the China and those countries in the field of health. Methods : The relevant literature was retrieved from the research database from articles published in both Chinese and English during the period from 2013 to 2017, and the literature research method was used to summarize the status quo of health cooperation. Results : According to the exclusion criteria, 116 articles were selected. The analysis showed that the main research focus falls in the following seven aspects for both domestic and foreign scholars : The dissemination of Chinese medicine culture promotes international cooperation in Chinese medicine; the prevention and control of infectious diseases needs to further strengthen the construction of international mechanisms; the health services and systems requiremutual learning from international experience; health industry has broad prospects for development; health emergency cooperation encounters the problem of inadequate coordination mechanisms and language barriers; the research on health development assistance goes deep; and health professionals training focuses on training mode. Conclusions: The existing research topics were of great coverage in range and had the highest attention to Chinese medicine,yet least considered talent cultivation. The research showed that cooperation in various health departments emphasized on international experience and the joint participation of the government and civil society. However, the research on laws and regulations, international conventions and practices, and different families' cooperation requirements related with health cooperation mechanisms need to be further strengthened.

Although Toxoplasma gondii infection in primary school children has been investigated in many countries, limited surveys have been available in primary school children in China. In the present study, we report the seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in primary school children in Shandong province, China. Sera from 6,000 primary school children were evaluated for T. gondii antibodies with ELISA. The overall seroprevalence of T. gondii infection was 16.0% (961/6,000), of which 14.5% (870/6,000) were positive for anti-T. gondii IgG antibodies, 3.4% (206/6,000) positive for IgM, and 1.9% (115/6,000) were positive for both IgG and IgM. The results of the present investigation indicated a high seroprevalence of T. gondii infection in primary school children in Shandong province, China. Therefore, effective measures should be taken to prevent and control T. gondii infection in primary school children in this province. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of T. gondii seroprevalence in primary school children in Shandong province, China.
