Methods By means of RT-PCR technique, mRNA expressions of TGFα, TGFβ1, PDGF andbFGF of autografts and allografts on burnt rats were quantitatively analysed. Results (1) mRNA expressions ofall the four growth factors mentioned above were found both in allografts and autografts, the expressions beinghigher in autografts than allografts; (2) In autografts, TGFα expression began to rise from second post transplantday (D2), reaching a peak on D18,. TGFβ1 expression gained a high level on D2 and had itS peak on D18; PDGFexpression had its peak on D4, rebounding on D25; bFGF expression, exceedingly high on D2, dropped andrebounded in the same manner as in PDGF; (3) In the early stage of the wound healing, mRNA expression of thefour growth factors was lower in allografts, rising up in varying degrees thereafter. Conclusion (1) Graftsurvival took place both in autografts and allografts, with the former pederming better than the latter; (2) Thecombining action of growth factors that reached the affected area through autosecretion and bysecretion probablypromoted the healing of the burn wound, following signal transmission channels; (3) Rejection, which occurred inallogralts, was responsible for the decreasing viability of allografts and their replacement by the host skin.展开更多

In each system, a two-dimensional subsystem is driven by the Rossler chaotic system. The parameter conditions under which the on-off intermittency occurs are discussed in detail. The statistical property of the intermittency is investigated. It is shown that the distribution of the laminar phase duration time follows a power law with an exponent of -3/2, which is a signature of on-off intermittency. Moreover, the phenomenon of intermingled basins is observed when attractors in the two symmetric invariant subspaces are stable. We provide an effective way to generate on-off intermittency based on a chaotic system, which is important for application and theoretical study.展开更多
