ABSTRACT
Objective To investigate the effect of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) ,uric acid (UA) ,lactic dehydrogenase(LDH) and troponin T (TnT)in the diagnosis and prognosis observation of cardiovascular disease .Methods A total of 271 cases of cardio-vascular diseases and 271 cases of non-cardiovascular diseases were selected as the cardiovascular diseases group and control group respectively ,moreover the cardiovascular diseases group was further divided into the Uyghur cardiovascular diseases group and Han cardiovascular diseases group according to the nationality type .The levels of BNP ,LDH ,UA and TnT were detected in all cases . Then the detection results were statistically analyzed .Results The levels of BNP ,UA ,LDH and TnT in the cardiovascular diseases group were significantly higher than those in the control group ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05);the LDH and TnT levels in the Uyghur cardiovascular diseases group were higher than those in the Han cardiovascular diseases group ,while the BNP and UA levels in the Han cardiovascular diseases group were higher than those in the Uyghur cardiovascular diseases group , the difference was not statistically significant (P>0 .05);the decrease after 1 week treatment in the patients with heart failure and coronary heart disease was most significant ,which showed statistical difference compared with before treatment (P<0 .05);the UA level after 1 week treatment in heart failure patients had statistical difference compared with before treatment (P<0 .05) .Conclu-sion The combined detection of BNP ,LDH ,UA and TnT has an important clinical significance in early diagnosis ,treatment and prognosis of cardiovascular diseases .
ABSTRACT
Objective To establish a TaqMan real-time PCR assay for the detection of encephalo-myocarditis virus ( EMCV) .Methods Based on the conservative region of 3D gene of EMCV published in GenBank , a pair of primers and one TaqMan probe were designed and synthesized .Then a TaqMan real-time PCR assay was set up and the reactive system was optimized .The sensitivity and specificity of the assay was evaluated respectively .The TaqMan real-time PCR assay was then carried out to detect 98 randomly selected swine serum samples and the results were compared with those by using ELISA .Results The Ct value of the templates had a good linear relationship with the log starting quantity , with a correlation coefficient of 0.995.The TaqMan real-time PCR assay was only specific for EMCV and its sensitivity was 100 times higher than that of the ordinary PCR .The coincidence rate between the established assay and the ELISA assay was 98.0%in the detection of 98 blood samples.Conclusion The TaqMan real-time PCR assay for the detec-tion of EMCV was successfully established with advantages of high sensitivity and good specificity .It could be used for detection of EMCV and quantitative analysis .
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:It is confirmed that collagen sponge prepared from human tendon,bovine tendon,rat tail,pig skin and newborn bovine tendon have good cytocompatibility.OBJECTIVE:To extract collagen from newborn bovine skin,prepare the collagen sponge for biomedical application,and observe the biocompatibility and cytocompatibility of collagen sponge with lamb fibroblasts.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Controlled study was performed in the Key Laboratory of Bioengineering of State Ethical Committee,Life Science and Engineering College,Northwest University for Nationalities from May 2006 to February 2007.MATERIALS:Newborn Galiba bovine within 24 hours and black fur lamb kidney fibroblasts were used.METHODS:Newborn bovine skin was harvested to prepare the collagen sponge with a series of procedures,including depilation,pepsin+glacial acetic acid,salting-out,dialysis and freeze drying.The obtained collagen sponge was inoculated with fibroblast suspension,which were divided into collagen sponge group,negative control group (saline) and positive control group (rubber bung leaching liquor).MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Inverted phase contrast microscope and JVC digital camera system were used to observe the cell morphology and growth.Acridine orange dyeing was used to observe the proliferation of cell in collagen sponge at 20 and 35 days of culture.Hematoxylin-eosin staining was used to observe the growth of cells in collagen sponge at 65 days of culture.RESULTS:The cells of positive control group were not adhesive and all died three days later.Those of collagen sponge group and negative control group were normal and adhesive.With the prolong of culture time,the sponge pore decreased gradually,sponge appearance became eminent and transparent,the cell increased in number but decreased in morphology.Acridine orange dyeing at 20 and 35 days of culture showed that a large amount of cells appeared in the co-culture of collagen sponge with lamb kidney fibroblast,and pack of cell clumps grew.Abundant blue nuclei and newborn red collagen fiber were found by hematoxylin-eosin staining.CONCLUSION:The collagen sponge from newborn bovine skin has a good biocompatibility with lamb kidney fibroblast cell of black fur,and no cytotoxicity appears.
ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Industrialization of new-born bovine serum and abundant resource of bovine lendon enable industrialization of medical collagen sponge.OBJECTIVE:To prepare collagen sponge with new-born bovine tendons by inoculating Veto cells,primary embryo skin cell of Tianzhu White Yak and lamb testicle cell of Minxian black fur sheep of the tissue scaffold of collagen sponge.and observe the biocompatibility of collagen sponge with three different cells.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Repetitive measurement was performed at the Key Laboratory of State Nationalities Afrairs Committee,College of Life Sciences and Engineering,Northwest University for Nationalities from February to May 2006.MATERIALS:Tendons of new-born bovine within 24 hours were digested by glacial acetic acid and pepsinum firstly and then salting-out,dialysis and vacum freeze drying were performed to prepare collagen sponge.f2 passage of embryo skin cells of Tianzhu Whit Yak and f2 passage of lamb testicle cells of Minxian black fur sheep were prepared by out laboratory;Vero cells were provided by Union Medical University.METHODS:In a 6-hole plate,the Vero cell,embryo skin cells of Tianzhu White Yak and lamb testicle cells of Minxian Black Fur Sheep were inoculated into the collagen sponge pretreated by ultraviolet and sterilized by ozone.and incubated in 5%CO2 at 37℃.In addition,cells only inoculated ia a culture plate served as control. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Inverted phase contrast microscope was used to observe cell growth condition in the collagen sponge and 6-hole plate at 5,12,24 and 72 hours.In addition,Coomassie brilliant blue as well as HE staining were conducted at 11 days after culture to identify the culture.RESULTS:Five hours after inoculation,cell adherence and expansion was observed at the bottom of culture plate.and some of the cells showed division.On the surface of collagen sponge.a round cell arrangement was observed.After inoculation of 48-72 hours,monolayer was found at the bottom of the plate.On the 11th day of culture.Coomassie brilliant blue and HE staining of three kinds of cells showed there were lager amount of cells well grew in the holes of collagen sponge,and the collagen sponge turned to be eminent,transparent and tenacious.CONCLUSION:The collagen sponge made from new-born bovine tendons exhibit good biocompatibility with three kinds of cells from different animals and tissues,and can be served as culture seaffoId of skin cells,tenal ceils.and testicle cells.
