J4. 2010, 36 (5):  832-836. 
Abstract ( 1106 )   PDF (2314KB) ( 464 )  

Abstract:Objective
To investigate the effect of isoflurane on the synaptic long-term potentiation (LTP) in the CA1 area of the aged rat hippocampal slices,and elucidate the mechanisms of the effect of isoflurane on cognitive function in the aged rats. Methods Hippocampal slices (400  μm thick) were obtained from the brains of 70 male Sprague-Dawley rats that were decapitated. The slices were incubated in artificial cerebrospinal fluid (ACSF) at room temperature for at least 120 min before use. Thirty-five slices were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=7):control group,isoflurane groups(0.062 5,0.125 0,0.250 0 and 0.500 0 mmol/L). All the slices in each group were perfused with ACSF,isoflurane 0.062 5,0.125 0,0.250 0 or 0.500 0 mmol/L,respectively. The slices in each group were performed to record evoked population spikes (PS) using a extracellular microelectrode recording technique. Another thirty-five slices were randomly divided into 5 groups (n=7):LTP group,isoflurane-LTP groups (0.062 5,0.125 0,0.250 0 and 0.500 0 mmol?L-1). All the slices in each group were perfused with ACSF,isoflurane (0.062 5,0.125 0,0.250 0 and 0.500 0 mmol?L-1),respectively. PSs were recorded for at least 30 min before LTP in each group. For LTP induction,high-frequency stimulation (HFS) conditioning pulses (100 Hz/s) were applied to the Schaffer collateral-commissural pathway of hippocampus using a bipolar stimulating electrode. The changes in PS amplitude after HFS were analyzed in each group. Results  The PS amplitude of the rat hippocampal slices in isoflurane 0.062 5 mmol/Lgroup had no significant difference compared with control group(P>0.05). The PS amplitudes in isoflurane groups (0.125 0,0.250 0 and 0.500 0 mmol/L) were significantly decreased compared with control group (P<0.01). The PS amplitude in LTP group after HFS was significantly increased by (34±11)% compared with that of pre-HFS indicating the successful induction of LTP. Compared with LTP group,the amplitudes of the PS in isoflurane-LTP groups(0.062 5,0.125 0,0.250 0 and 0.500 0 mmol/L) after HFS were decreased significantly (P<0.01). Conclusion The inhibition of LTP induction in hippocampus of the aged rats may contribute to isoflurane-induced deficits in cognitive function of the aged rats.

The positive clones were chosen for soluble expression and analyzed by sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electropheresis (SDS-PAGE),enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and competition ELISA. The tumor-beared athymic mice were injected via the tail vein with purified 131I-labeled scFv. The biodistribution analysis and radioimmunoimaging were taken to evaluate the specificity and distribution of antibodies in vivo. Results The ratio of recombinant bacteria inserted with scFv was 77% (23/30) and the enzyme digest reaction showed the aim products on 1% agarose gel. From the first to the sixth round of panning,the obtained phages number increased 180 times. The positive reactions to A549 cells were detected in 6 of 10 clones. The positive ratio was 60% (6/10). The human scFv vs  against Prx Ⅰ of lung adenocarcinoma were confirmed by SDS-PAGE and ELISA. Competition ELISA showed significant,concentration-dependent affinity of scFv antibodies to A549 cells. The radiochemical purity of 131I-labeled scFv was (95.6±3.7)% and the specific activity was (2.8±0.2) TBq/g. The radiolocalization indexes (RI) of tumor/serum and tumor/muscle were gradually increased,reaching its peak (4.06±0.13 and 5.17±0.97,respectively) at 48 h postadministration. The radioactivity was aggregated in tumor locations and the tumor imaging was clearly observed by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) imaging. The T/NT value at 48 h (3.73±0.20) was significantly higher than those at 12 h (1.26±0.15),24 h (2.18±0.16) and 72 h (2.85±0.18) (all P<0.01). Conclusion The scFv fragments against Prx Ⅰ of lung adenocarcinoma are acquired by screening the phage antibody library successfully.

In  the experiment of flow cytometric quantitation,21 C57BL/6 female mice were divided into three groups(H-ctm1 immunized mice,HK-EBs immunized mice,PBS-immunized mice,7 mice every group).After immunization,these mice were infected by Ct. 6 d after infection,the CD4+ and CD8+ T cells were dectected with flow cytometry(FACS). Results For the experiment of DTH,in the group of naive mice,there was no significant difference in thickness between pre-injection and post-injection whatever right or left hind footpad(P>0.05),also between right and left hind footpad whatever pre-injection and post-injection(P>0.05).In the group
 of H-ctm1 immunized mice,there was no significant difference in thickness between right and left hind footpad before injection(P>0.05),however,the difference was  significant  after injection(P<0.05).For left hind footpad,the difference was not significant   between before and  after injection(P>0.05);for right hind footpad,the difference was  significant  between before and after injection(P<0.05).[JP3]In the FACS experiment,the mean ratio of CD4+ T cells in H-ctm1 group(18.9%±[JP]2.2%) was higher than that in HK-EB group(11.3%±3.1%,P<0.05)) and control group(0.05%±0.07%,P<0.01). And the mean ratio of CD8+ cells in H-ctm1 g
roup(5.7%±1.9%) was higher than that in HK-EB group(1.5%±0.5%,P<0.01) and control group(0.02%±0.01%,P<0.01). Conclusion DTH play a role in the process of immune response to H-ctm1 immunized mice.HSP65 fusion protein can stimulate the dendritic cells to up-regulate the levels of MHC(class Ⅰ and class Ⅱ)and improve  MOMP-T-epitopes immunogenicity.

The apoptotic rate and proliferation inhibitory rate of ovarian cells were detected with microscopic observation and MTT assay,and the expression of VEGF in ovarian cancer cell SKOV3 was determined. Results Observing with microscope,in the cells treated with drugs the adherence ability was reduced with refraction,shrink,circular,karyopycnosis,nuclear fragmentation and the cell chromatin agglutination. The apoptotic cells of solo drug groups were more than those in combined drug groups. MTT assay indicated that the MLT groups(0.5,1.0,2.5 mmol/L) and MLT combined with DDP(25,50 mg/L) groups all had inhibitory effects on the cell growth,and the inhibitory rate was increased with the concentrations of drugs. Two drugs had synergetic effect,CDI<1. Immunocytochemical staining results showed that the expressions of VEGF in solo drug groups and combined groups were lower than that in control groups,the expression of VEGF in combined groups was decreased significantly(P<0.05). Conclusion  MLT can restrain the growth of ovarian cancer cells. MLT combined with DDP has synergetic effect on down-regulation of the expression of VEGF. Combined DDP with debita spissitudine MLT can achieve good curative effect.

Abstract:Objective To  establish the animal model of arteriogenic erectile dysfunction(ED) and explore the pathogenesis of ED. Methods Thirty male Wistar rats were divided into two groups:experimental group (n=15),treated with ligating rat bilateral internal arteries;control group (n=15),treated with sham operation only. 4 weeks later,the erectile function of the rats was evaluated by injecting with apomorphine (APO) and  electrostimulation of cavernous nerves and recording of the intracavernous pressure (ICP). The ultrastructures of the smooth muscle cells of cavernous of penis were observed with transmission electron microscope;the NOS level in the penis tissue was examined by NADPH diaphorase staining. Results In APO experiment,the penile erection times in experimental  group were decreased significantly compared with control group(P<0.01);the number of yawns was showed no obvious difference between  two groups(P>0.05). In ICP experiment,the mean amplitude of ICP in experimental group was decreased significantly compared with control group (P<0.01). Electron microscopy showed that in the smooth muscle cells in experimental group,there were a significantly less number of mitochondria in the cytoplasm,less number of caveolae with fingerlike processes in the plasma membrane,increased number of vacuoles in the cytoplasm compared with control group. The NOS staining in experimental group was less intense compared with control group. Conclusion It is easy,practicable and reliable to establish the arteriogenic ED rat animal model by ligating rat bilateral internal arteries. Both the changes of ultrastructures and the low NOS level in penis tissue play roles in the occurrence of ED.

Abstract ( 1487 )  

Abstract:Objective To investigate the prevalence of arterial vascular calcification (VC) in uremic patients undergoing diabetic nephropathy (DN) and  explore its risk factors.   Methods Demographic and clinical data were collected in the patients latest diagnosed as uremia and not received dialysis treatment. The uremic patients were divided into DN group and non-diabetic nephropathy (NDN)group. And 20 healthy subjects  were chosen as control group from the Physical Examination Room. The patients’ sex and ages were similar in the 3 groups.VC was semi-quantitatively evaluated by plain radiographic films from abdomen,pelvis and hands.The clinical and laboratorial parameters related to VC  were detected and analyzed.  Results ①The present study included 20(51.28%) DN uremic patients and 19(48.72%) NDN uremic patients.The average diabetic duration in the DN patients was (8.11±7.39) years. ②Among the 39 uremic patients,VC was found on radiographic films in 29 cases (74.36%),including 23 cases (58.97%) with the con-score 1-3 and 6 cases (15.38%)with 3-6 scores. And VC was not detected in control group.Bone density analysis showed that osteopenia occupied 14 cases (35.90%) in all and the T-score was -0.81±0.87. ③Linear correlation analysis revealed that VC was correlated with serum calcium and phosphate(r=0.026,P<0.05;r=-0.639,P<0.05),and uncorrelated with bone density(P>0.05). VC score was significantly correlated with the diabetic duration(r=0.790,P<0.001). Logistic regression revealed that the diabetes duration was the independent risk factors (P<0.05)for VC.The reflections of serum calcium and phosphate were rejected. ④The prevalence of VC in DN gourp (95.0%) was higher than that  in NDN group(42.1%,P<0.05).And the VC score in DN group (3.18±1.77)was higher than that in NDN group (1.56±0.97,P<0.05).Conclusion There is a higher VC prevalence rate and more VC severity in DN uremic patients than in NDN patients. Diabetes duration is an independent risk factor for VC.Preventing from the high serum glucose maybe plays an effective role in controlling the VC  in diabetic nephropathy patients in uremic stage.

Abstract ( 1046 )  

Abstract:Objective To study the pathologic and ultrastructural features of fibrillary glomerulopathy (FGP),and provide basis for diagnosis and differential diagnosis of FGP. Methods Two renopuncture biopsy tissues of FGP(one case combined immunotactoid glomerulopathy) were studied by routine histopathological(morphologically and ultrastructurally) and were observed by light microscope with staining(HE,PAS,PAM-Masson)and immunohistochemical staining(IgG,IgM,IgA,C3,C4,C1q)and  by electron microscope with Lead citrate-Uranyl acetate staining. Results Morphologically,membranous nephropathy with immune reactants were showed in mesangium and subepithelial areas of glomerular basement membrane(GBM) in membranous glomerulopathy(MG) and membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis(MPGN) with mesangial nodular sclerosis and GBM’s double-track,which immune reactants eposited showed in subendothelial areas of GBM in MPGN by PAM-Masson staining. Renal mesangium of MG and MPGN associated with deposition of material that was positive for IgG,IgM,IgA,C3,capillary tuft of MG was positive for IgG,C3 and capillary tuft of MPGN was positive for IgM,C3,C1q by immunohistochemical staining,but they were not stained by Congo red. Ultrastructurally,the mesangial,subepithelial and/or subendothelial areas of MG and MPGN were expanded because of the electron-dense deposits,which were represented by randomly oriented nonbranching fibrils with a diameter of about 15-25 nm. In addition,microtubule deposits with a diameter of about 30-50 nm were also found in MPGN.Conclusion The diagnosis of FGP is always based on biopsy of the kidney which revealed the characteristic of fibrils composed of immune reactants under electron microscope.

Abstract ( 1463 )  

Abstract:Objective To study the influence of incline implant supported fixed bridge at the local area of the maxillary molar on the implant-bone-interface stress distribution and illustrate the correlation between every influence factors about incline implant supported fixed bridge and late success rate of implant denture. Methods Three-dimensional finite element model for the insufficient ertical bone mass at the area of the maxillary molar was established biomechanically in this study by spiral CT technique and finite element software technique. Different experimental conditions were designed which were about different implant lengthes (7,9 and 11 mm,diameter of implants was 5.5 mm and oblique angle was 10°),implant diameters(3.5,4.5 and 5.5 mm,length of implants was 7 mm and oblique angle was 10°) and oblique angles of implant (5,10 and 15°,diameter of implants was 5.5 mm,length of implants was 7 mm). The implant-bone-interface stress distribution was analyzed by 3-D finite element method under the action of vertical and decentralized load. Results  When implant length changed from 7 to 11 mm,the stress of necks and root tips of implants was big,and the one on root tips was bigger than the necks at the same time. The stress on root tips was decreased as the length of the implant was increased and was closed to the necks. The feature on stress distribution of different diameters was that the stress of necks and root tips of implants was big with 3.5 and 4.5 mm in diameter,and the stress on each part of the implant-bone-interface was similar with 5.5 mm in diameter. The feature of stress distribution on each part of the implant-bone-interface was very close in resemblance with different oblique angles, the stress of necks and root tips of implants was big. The stress of root tips of implants was increased as the angle was increased. Load distribution also affected stress distribution on the interface. The peak stress under a concentrated load was bigger than the one under decentralized load. Conclusion When the vertical bone mass at the local area of the maxillary molar is relative insufficient,the implant-bone interface stress distribution tends towards uniformity in selecting longer and wider-diameter implant. The  complicated maxillary anatomical structure could be considered adequately to prevent stress concentration to occur in partial thick bone.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the expressions of matrix metalloproteinase-2(MMP-2) and matrix metalloproteinase-9(MMP-9) in endometrial adenocarcinoma tissues and clinical significances and explore the correlation between MMP-2,MMP-9 and development and biological behavior of endometrial adenocarcinoma. Methods 102 cases of uterine samples with complete data were selected. 60 cases of the endometrial adenocarcinoma were divided into three groups by clinical stage:stage Ⅰ(26 cases),stage Ⅱ(19 cases),stage Ⅲ(15 cases);three groups by histological level:level 1(29 cases),level 2(19 cases),level 3(12 cases); three groups by myometrial invasion:non-myometrial invasion(8 cases), myometrial invasion<1/2 (11 cases),myometrial invasion>1/2 (41 cases);and  two groups by lymph node metastasis:non-lymph node metastasis(54 cases) and lymph node metastasis(6 cases). S-P immunohistochemistry method was used to detect the expressions of  MMP-2 and MMP-9. Results The positive rates of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in endometrial adenocarcinoma tissues (76.7% and 80.0%) were significantly higher than those in normal uterine tissues (13.60%) and hyperplasia endometrial tissues (20.0%) (P<0.05). The strong positive rates of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in endometrial adenocarcinoma tissues at stage Ⅲ and histological level 3 were higher than those at  stage Ⅰ and histological level 1 (P<0.05). The strong positive rates of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in endometrial adenocarcinoma tissues with myometrial invasion and lymph node metastasis were obviously higher than those with non-myometrial invasion and non-lymph node metastasis (P<0.05). There are significant differences between them according to the statistics analysis (P<0.05). Conclusion The positive expression rates of MMP-2 and MMP-9 in endometrioid adenocarcinoma tissues are high. The strong positive expression rates of MMP-2 and MMP-9 are related to tumor differentiation grade,clinical stage,myometrial invasion and lymph node mestastasis.

Abstract ( 1351 )  

Abstract:Objective To observe the change of  CD4+ T Lymphocytes in patients with H1N1 at early stage and figure out its clinical significances on the progress and therapeutic selection of H1N1. Methods The absolute counts of T lymphocyte subset from the peripheral blood samples of 48 H1N1 patients in first ten days’ duration were detected by flow cytometry,and  the serial chest CT examinations were performed. Results In all 48 clinical cases,28 cases were in normal range of CD4+ lymphocyte absolute count,whose pulmonary lesions were limited and illness condition stayed in the stability,they  didn’〖KG-*3〗t need steroid. In the other 20 cases with low level of CD4+,4 cases’ illness presented the progressive development and needed to be treated with steroid and 16 cases with lightly decreased CD4+ level which had a stable condition without treatment  with steroid. The result of  Pearson correlation analysis showed that there were negative correlations between absolute count of CD4+ cells and pulmonary lesions (r=-0.299,P<0.05) and steroid treatment (r=-0.383,P<0.05). Conclusion The lower peripheral blood CD4+ cell absolute count of H1N1 patients at early stage indicates the worse condition of pulmonary lesions. The patients with remarkable decrease of CD4+ lymphocytes are in need of treatment with steroid.

Abstract ( 1003 )  

Abstract:Objective To investigate the correlation and the clinical significance between the overall classification on color Doppler ultrasound and the clinical stages of atherosclerosis obliterans(ASO),and evaluate the extent of arterial lesions comprehensively. Methods 125 patients                         of ASO,who were divided into three groups of mild,moderate and severe with Color Doppler ultrasound according to differences of occlusion,quantity,degree of stenosis and collateral number,were analyzed with clinical stages,then  their associations were studied with Spearman rank analysis. Results The clinical manifestations of ASO patients who were divided into three groups of mild,moderate and severe according to overall classification on color Doppler ultrasound were respectively gradually serious,which had  positive correlations with the stages of Ⅰ,Ⅱand Ⅲ according to clinical stages. Spearman rank analysis showed that the correlation coefficients (rs) was 0.797 2 between two groups(P<0.01),there was good consistency between the overall classification on color Doppler ultrasound and the clinical stages of ASO. Conclusion The overall classification of ASO on color Doppler ultrasound has considered impact of many other factors on the clinical symptoms,such as the level of the local narrow,narrow scope,segments of occlusion and collateral arteries,which divids the lesions more objectively,shows good consistency with the clinical stages.

Abstract ( 1007 )  

Abstract:Objective To investigate the mediator effects of coping styles on the relationship between multidimensional life satisfaction (family,friends,school,living environment,self and global) and depression/anxiety,and  clarify the importance of coping strategies and their relationships with well being in the context of ongoing depression and anxiety. Methods The participants were 17 622 students of eight cities in China. The data were collected by using Multidimensional Students’ Life Satisfaction Scale (MSLSS),Trait Coping Style Questionnaire (TCSQ),Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS),and Self-Rating Anxiety Scale (SAS). Results Global life satisfaction and positive coping were negativiely  correlated with anxiety and depression(r=-0.471,-0.423,-0.550,-0.369,Ps< 0.01);negative coping was positively correlated with anxiety(r=0.369,P<0.01). The proportions of mediating effects in total effects of positive/ negative coping in associations among life satisfaction and depression were 35.4%-54.6%,9.6%-19.3%,respectively. The proportions of mediating effects in total effects of positive/ negative coping in associations amongst life satisfaction and anxiety were 16.4%-33.1%,29.0%-42.3%,respectively. Conclusion Coping styles partially mediate the relationship between multidimensional life satisfaction and depression/anxiety. It should pay more attention with regard to the study on the pathogenesis and prevention of  adolescent depression and anxiety.
