Objective To investigate the expressions of β1, 3-N-acetyl glucosaminyl transfrases ( Fringe) ( RFNG, LFNG and MFNG) in lung tissues and lung T cells isolated from asthmatic mice, and to explore the role of Fringe in pathogenesis of asthma. Methods Asthmatic BALB/ c mouse model was established by inhalation of ovalbumin after intraperitoneal injection. Meanwhile, the control groups were established by normal saline. Lung tissues were sampled after 24 hours since the last stimulation. T cells were isolated from the lung tissues using percol and NylonFiber. The mRNA expressions of three kinds of Fringe in the lung tissues and lung T cells were examined by reverse transcription-PCR ( RT-PCR) . The protein expressions of Fringe in the lung tissues were detected by Western blot. Results The mRNA expressions of RFNG, LFNG and MFNG were detectable in the lung tissues and lung T cells. The mRNA expressions of RFNG increased in the asthmatic group compared with the control group( lung tissues: 0. 92 ±0. 35 vs 0. 51 ±0. 13, P lt; 0. 01; lung T cells: 0. 33 ±0. 06 vs 0. 18 ±0. 07, P lt; 0. 01) . LFNG mRNA had lower expression level in the asthmatic group( lung tissue: 0. 77 ±0. 32 vs 1. 61 ±0. 31, P lt; 0. 01; lung T cells: 0. 49 ±0. 19 vs 0. 71 ±0. 03, P lt;0. 01) . No difference on the mRNA expression of MFNG was found in the lung tissues( 1. 44 ±0. 29 vs 1. 70 ±0. 44, P gt; 0. 05) . MFNG mRNA expression decreased in the asthmatic group compared with the control group in the T cells( 1. 17 ±0. 04 vs 0. 68 ±0. 07, P lt;0. 05) . The results of western blot were consistent with RT-PCR results of the lung tissues. The expressions of RFNG increased in the asthmatic group( 1. 17 ±0. 04 vs 0. 68 ±0. 07, P lt;0. 05) . The expression of MFNG has no difference between two groups( 8. 10 ±0. 60 vs 9. 12 ±0. 07, P gt;0. 05) . LFNG had a lower expression in the asthmatic group( 4. 11 ±0. 38 vs 6. 41 ±0. 11, P lt; 0. 05) . Conclusion The abnormal expressions of three kinds of Fringe may be involved in the pathogenesis of asthma.

Objective To investigate the iron regulated locus in Klebsiella pneumoniae isolates from blood culture of liver abscess patients in Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital. Methods From January to December of 2015, a total of 10 isolates of Klebsiella pneumoniae were collected from blood culture of liver abscess patients from Sichuan Provincial People’s Hospital. The genomic DNA was extracted to identify the genes of iroB, iroC, and iroD by PCR, and data was further analyzed by Graphpad Prism 5 software. Results Among the 10 Klebsiella pneumoniae clinical strains, 9 strains were iroB positive strains, 9 strains were iroC positive strains, and 10 strains were iroD positive strains, 9 strains were iroB/C/D triple positive. Conclusion The current study suggests that the frequency of triple positive of iroB/C/D in Klebsiella pneumoniae is high in isolates from liver abscess patients, the triple positive of iroB/C/D may contribute to liver abscess.
ObjectiveTo compare the results of internal limiting membrane (ILM) peeling with and without ILM transplantation to treat idiopathic macular hole (IMH) with hole form factor (HFF)<0.6. MethodsForty patients (40 eyes) of IMH with HFF<0.6 who underwent pars plana vitrectomy (PPV) were enrolled in this study. 20 eyes was performed PPV combined with ILM peeling (ILM peeling group), the other 20 eyes was performed PPV combined with ILM peeling and ILM transplant (ILM transplant group). The follow-up was ranged from 3 to 6 months with an average of 4 months. The changes of closing rate of hole, best corrected visual acuity (BCVA), photoreceptor inner segment/outer segment (IS/OS) junction defect diameter and amplitude of wave P1 of ring 1 and ring 2 by multifocal electroretinogram (mfERG) were comparatively analyzed for the two groups. ResultsIn 3 months after surgery, the IMH closing rate was 70% (14/20) in the ILM peeling group, and 100% (20/20) in the ILM transplant group, the difference between these two groups was significant (χ2=7.059, P<0.05). Postoperative BCVA was improved obviously in the two groups compared to preoperative BCVA, the difference was significant (t=4.017, 4.430; P<0.05). The rate of BCVA improvement in the ILM peeling group and ILM transplant group were 80% and 85%, the difference was not significant (χ2=0.173, P>0.05). The rate of significantly BCVA improvement in the ILM peeling group and ILM transplant group were 35% and 70%, the difference was significant (χ2=4.912, P<0.05). IS/OS junction defect (t=6.368, 6.635; P<0.05) and amplitude of wave P1 of ring 1 (t=2.833, 4.235) and ring 2 (t=2.459, 4.270) by mfERG in the two groups were improved after operation. The differences of postoperative IS/OS junction defect (t=2.261, P<0.05) and amplitude of wave P1 of ring 2 between the two groups were significant (t=2.282, P<0.05), but the differences of postoperative amplitude of wave P1 of ring 1 between two groups was not different (t=1.800, P>0.05). ConclusionPPV combined with ILM peeling and ILM transplantation can significantly improve the closure rate and vision of IMH with HFF<0.6.
Objective To establish dog model of testicular autotransplantation with a modified technique.Methods Testicular autotransplantations were performed on the right side of 30 male dogs, whose ages ranged from 1.5 to 2.0 years old and weights ranged from 14 to 17 kg. After the spermatic artery with a cuff of abdominal aorta and spermatic vein and with a cuff of inferior vena cava were detached, the testis was perfused and kept at icing temperature. An end-to-side anastomosis of the spermatic vessels to the external iliac vessels was conducted subsequently. The survival conditions of the auografts were assessed by digital subtraction arteriography (DSA). Histological examination and detection on the serum levels of follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), luteotrophic hormone (LH), and testosterone (T) were made at two weeks intervals. Results Of the 30 testicular autotransplantations performed, 27 cases were successful. The success rate was 90%. The time of heat ischemia, cold ischemia, anastomosis of spermatic vessels, and total operation was 4.5±0.9 minutes, 50.0±10.0 minutes, 35.5±5.5 minutes, and 3.5±0.5 hours respectively. DSA proved that the testis survived well. No morphological abnormality was found at different stages of the spermatogenic cells. The LH level was higherthan that before operation, being statistically different (Plt;0.05);however, the levels of FSH and T did not changed significantly (Pgt;0.05). Conclusion A stable and feasible model of testicular autotransplantation is established and it provides a reliable experimental platform for human testicular transplantation.

ResultsIn recent years, the research of tissue-engineered bile duct has made a breakthrough in scaffold materials, seed cells, growth factors etc. However, the tissue-engineered bile duct is still in the research stage of animal experiments, which can not be directly applied to clinical practice. ConclusionsThe research of tissue-engineered bile duct becomes popular at present. With the rapid development of materials science and cell biology, the basic research and clinical application of tissue-engineered duct will be more in-depth research and extension, which might bring new ideas and therapeutic measures for patients with biliary defect or stenosis.
