Abstract ( 1533 )   PDF (1969KB) ( 484 )  

Objective To observe the effects of transplantation of amniotic epithelial cells(AECs) on nerve regeneration after spinal cord hemisected injury in rats and provide experimental basis for repair of SCI with AECs.Methods The models of spinal cord hemisection-injure were established with 30 male Wistar rats. The gelatin sponge with or without  AECs were respectively implanted into the hemisectedadult rat spinal cord. The SCI model group and the  sham operation group were established as control groups. Two  or four  weeks after the transplantation,the graft/spinal cord tissue structures were observed by routine histological methods;the  neural filament( NF),serotonin (5-HT),calcitonin gene related peptide (CGRP)-positive nerve fibers and glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP)-positive cells in graft / spinal cord were observed by immunofluorescence staining. Fluororuby tracing method was used to observe the regeneration of the nerve fibers in the transplants. The BBB test was used to evaluate the  motorfunctional recoveration of the  hind limbs in rats. Results AECs transplantation promoted the regeneration of nerve fibers in the spinal cord itself,and promoted the regeneration of the NF,5-HT,CGRP positive nerve fibers. The regenerating nerve fibers extended through the GFAP-positive area and went into the grafts with AECs.The number of NF positive never fibers in grafts in AECs transplantion group was more than that in gelatinsponge group(P<0.05). There were significant differences of the BBB scores between AECs transplantation group,gelatin sponge group,SCI group and sham operation group(P<0.05).The BBB scores showed no significant differences in functional recovery between AECs transplantion group and gelation sponge and SCI,groups(P>0.05). Conclusion AECs transplantation can promote the  nerve fiber regeneration after SCI.

Abstract ( 1474 )  

Abstract:Objective To study the effects of different protosilencers on gene silencing and the  reasons of differences of gene silencing. Methods HML-I silencer was replaced by different protosilencers. The expression level of reporter gene and the structure of chromosome were compared with or without HML-E. Results After deleting HML-E silencer and replacing HML-I with RAP1p,ORC and Abflp respectively,the cells grew similarly inSC-ura and SC+FOA plate. When HML-E exited,the cells grew similarly on SC-ura plate after replacing HML-I with RAP1p,ORC and ABF1 respectively. The cells were unable to grow on FOA plate when HML-I was replaced with Raplp,However,the cells grew on FOA plate when HML-I was replaced with ORC or ABF1.The micrococcal nuclease digestion data showed that the cells which HML-I was replaced with ORC or ABF1presented similar specific bands to which HML-I was replaced by HMR-E. Conclusion Protosilencers can’t silence gene in activated and basal expression independently,but it can do it with the help of silencer protosilencer. The differences in chromatin structure might be the reason for the difference of gene silencing.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the effect of arsenic trioxide (ATO) on cellcycle progression of imatinib(IM)-resistant chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cellline KBM5R with T315I point mutation,and provide theoretical foundation for overcoming resistance of CML patients to IM. Methods The wild-type cell line KBM5was selected as negative control of KBM5R with T315I point mutation,and the cells were divided into four groups according to ATO treatment:control group of KBM5R cells,ATO group of KBM5R cells,control group of KBM5 cells and ATO group of KBM5 cells. The proliferation of KBM5 and KBM5R cells after treated with IM or ATO were detected by MTT. The changes of cell cycles of KBM5 and KBM5R cells were quantified by flow cytometry. The expressions of P21 and P27 proteins in KBM5 and KBM5R cells after treated with ATO were determined by Western blotting. Results The IC50 of KBM5R cells treated with IM was higher than that of wild-type cell line KBM5 (P<0.01). The inhibitory rates of proliferation of KBM5 and KBM5R cells after treated with 0.5,1.0,2.0,4.0 and 8.0 μmol·L-1 of ATO for 24,48,72 and 96 h were higher than that of control group,which were increased according to the increase of concentration or  the treatment time of  ATO (P<0.05). The inhibitory effect of KBM5R cell oliferation was stronger than that of KBM5 at the same drug concentration and time (P<0.05). The cell cycle detection of KBM5 and KBM5R cells after treated with 2.0,4.0 and 8.0 μmol·L-1 ATO for 48 h showed that the G2/M arrest rate was increased according to the increase of concentration of ATO,and the G2/M arrest rate of KBM5R had no signficant difference compared with KBM5 at the same drug concentration. The expressions of P21 and P27 proteins in KBM5 and KBM5R cells after treated with 2.0,4.0 and 8.0 μmol·L-1 ATO for 48 h were significantly increased in a concentration-depenent manner. Conclusion ATO can arrest cell cycle of KBM5R cell line in G2/M phase through up-regulation of P21 and P27 protein levels,and it is one of thereasons that ATO can inhibit the proliferation of KBM5R cells with T315I point mutation.

Abstract:Objective To establish the method of using the 12th vertebrae for sex determination of adult Chinese and evaluate its effect. Methods The 12th thoracic vertebrae were developed by the clinic abdomen CT images. A total of 25 linear measurements on 7 aspects of the vertebrae were measured and 4 ratios were calculated. The items were selected which had the significant difference to establish the sex determination equation and its  effect was evaluated.  Results Of the total 29 traits,27 were sexually dimorphic(P<0.05),the accuracy was 56.3%-89.2%,8 traits had the accuracies mean or over 80.0%.The trait iVL had the highest accuracy of  89.2%. A function with four variables predicting sex with 90.8% accuracy was derived by using stepwise method of discriminant function analysis:Y=2.98×iBDsm+1.97×PH+3.37×BHp+3.27×sVL/BHa-32.80(mean centroids=-7.69). Conclusion The method of using the selected traits for sex determination of adult Chinese is practicable and it has a relatively high accuracy.

Abstract:Objective To  extract and purify the  rombinant protein LTB-FAP of  fimbria of Actinobacillus actinomy cetecomitans which can be expressed in E.coli. and lay a foundation for its application in the treatment of periodontal diseases.Methods The constructed recombinant plasmid of  pET28a/LTB and pET28a/LTB-FAP  were  transformed into E.coli and the inclusion body of recombinant protein LTB-FAP was expressed. The recombinant protein was washed and dissolved by 2,4,6 and 8 mol·L-1 urea;and then the dissolved protein was purified by both anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography;the concentration ofthe purified protein LTB-FAP was measured by thin layer chromatogram scanner.Results The inclusion body of the expressed protein was washed 3 times by 4 mol·L-1 urea solution and dissloved in 6 mol·L-1 urea solution,and 60% of the LTB-FAP protein could  be gotten. The purity of the recombinant protein LTB-FAP  purified in this experiment by anion exchange chromatography was about   75%;the puity of recombinant protein  LTB-FAP  was  90% by gel filtration chromatography. Conclusion The anion exchange chromatography and gel filtration chromatography can extract and purify the expressed recombinant protein LTB-FAP which can be used to immunize animal bodys.

Abstract:Objective To investigate the types of the mental disorders  and the disease characteristics of schizophrenia,mood disorder,hysteria in inpatients and analyze their relevant risk factors. Methods A total of 2 453 clinical records of mental disorders inpatients according to CCMD-II-R were collected in Yantai from 2008 to 2010 by self-designed questionnaire. Results The number of female patients was more than male patients,and the male to female ratio was 0.74∶1 The average age of inpatients was (38.74±15.45) years,the average age of onset was (35.98±16.08) years.The male patients had earlier onset age than female (P<0. 001). The proportions of schizophrenia,mood disorder and hysteria were 45.1%,26.3%, and 7.8%.  The schizophrenia inpatients had first onset among the  three diseases. The hysteria inpatients had the lower education,and were more likely to have disease history and causes,and had less smoking and less drinking  than the schizophrenia inpatients (P<0.05). The mooed disorder inpatients had more people who lived in city or town,they wer more likely to have disease history,drinking history and causes(P<0.05). Conclusion The different mental disorder inpatients have different disease characteristics. More specific easurements of prevention and treatment for decreasing occurrence of this disease are needed.

Epidemiology and analysis on risk factors of non-infectious chronic diseases in adults in northeast China
J4. 2011, 37 (2):  379-384. 
Abstract ( 1237 )  

Abstract:Objective To provide epidemiological data of non-infectious chronic diseases containing hypertension,diabetes mellitus(DM),dyslipidemia,alcoholic fatty liver disease(ALD),non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(NAFLD),metabolic sydrome(MS),overweight and central obesity and determine their risk factors in Dehui city in Jilin Province. Methods A total of 6 043 individuals including 11 neighborhoods and 9 villages were chosen based on cross-section study. A multivariate logistic regression was conducted between non-infectious chronic diseases and those risk factors.Results The prevalences of hypertension,DM,dyslipidemia,ALD,NAFLD,MS,overweight and central obesity were reported as 28.67%,4.82%,51.00%,3.74%,15.5%,21.54%,58.22%, and 36.67%, respectively, and the prevalence of hypertention was higher in males than that in females(P<0.001),and the results were reversed in central obesity,dyslipidemia,MS and NALD(P<0.05).A multivariate logistic regression analysis showed  that the OR were 1.04(95%CI:1.03-1.05) for age,19.42(95%CI:11.62-32.4) forfatty liver,1.15(95%CI:1.06-1.26) for FBG,1.38 (95%CI: 1.19-1.59) for hypercholesterolemia,1.32(95%CI:1.1-1.49) for hypertriglyceridemia,1.42(95%CI:1.3-1.47)for BMI,which were the main risk factors for non-infectious chronic diseases.
Conclusion Non-infectious chronic diseases are very common among adult population in Dehui. As people get older the prevalence of various chronic diseases gradually increases .The occurrence and development  of non-infectious chronic diseases has significant relation with life habit,dietary habit,economic level and education.
