In this paper, the lethal effect on Rhizopus, Aspergillus niger, Penicillium by ozone was studied. The mortality rate against the time of the treatment of ozone and the variation of ozone concentration was measured. The changes of cell form were also observed. The Experiment results indicate that fungi could be destroyed completely by ozone and the mortality rate obviously increase with the prolonging of treatment time. When ozone was absorbed by KI,the mortality rate declines.

Objective To explore the relationship between the extent of coronary artery lesions and plasma brain natriurefic peptide(BNP)levels in the patients with coronary artery disease(CAD)except for congestive heart failure(CHF).Method Seventy CAD patients without CHF evidenced by dinical manifestation and coronary arte- riography(CAG)from Cardiology Depamnent of the First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine,China,were enrolled in the study.These patients were diagnozed under coronary arteriography(CAG) during March to May of 2007.They were divided into 3 groups:stable angina goup(24 patients),unstable angina group(25 patients),myocardial infarction group(21 patients).Twenty patients without coronary history and with normal CAG served as controls.Plasma BNP concentrations were measured with ELASA before CAG.The coronary lesion vessels and scores were estimated after CAG.The relationship between BNP levels and the coronary lesion vessels,as well as scores in CAD was analyzed.The data were expressed as(x±s)and was analyzed by using 2 independent samples test and spearman correlation with SPSS 13.0.A P value less than 0.01 indicated statistical significance.Results The plasma BNP concentrations in the patients,especially in the patients with myocardial infarction,were significantly higher than those in the controls.Spearman analysis showed that there was a positive correlation between the BNP levels and coronary lesion vessels(r1=0.309,P=0.01),also between BNP and coronary lesion score(r2=0.279,P=0.01).Conclusions In the patients without congestive heart failure,the more serious the coronary artery lesions,the higher the plasma BNP concentrations were.The degree of myocardial ischemia caused by coronary artery lesions was correlated with the plasma BNP level.Plasma BNP concentration could be valuable for the extent of coronary artery lesions in the patients of coronary artery disease.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the effect of artemisinin on lipopolysaccharide ( LPS)-induced intestinal epi-thelial barrier damage in IEC-6 cells and its molecular mechanism.METHODS:Cultured IEC-6 cells were divided to 5 groups:control group, LPS (100 mg/L) group and LPS +Artemisinin (30, 50 and 100μmol/L) groups.The cytotoxici-ty was detected by MTT assay.The releases of TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-6 in the IEC-6 cells were measured by ELISA.The transepithelial electrical resistance ( TER) was detected by electrical resistance tester, and the horseradish peroxidase (HRP) flux permeability were analyzed by a microplate reader.The expression of tight junction proteins, ZO-1, claudin-1 and occludin, and the expression of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB at mRNA and protein levels were determined by RT-qPCR and Western blot.RESULTS:Artemisinin alone (up to 100 μmol/L) or in combination with LPS (100 mg/L) was not toxic to IEC-6 cells.Compared with control group, the releases of TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-6 in the culture supernatant of IEC-6 cells significantly increased after treatment with LPS.The expression of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB was activated by LPS.LPS down-regulated the protein expression of ZO-1, claudin-1 and occludin.However, artemisinin treatment decreased the re-leases of TNF-α, IL-1βand IL-6 in the culture supernatant of IEC-6 cells.The expression of TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB at mR-NA and protein levels was gradually reduced after treatment with artemisinin.In addition, artemisinin upregulated the pro-tein expression of ZO-1, claudin-1 and occludin significantly (P<0.01) in a dose-dependent manner.CONCLUSION:Artemisinin attenuates LPS-induced intestinal epithelial barrier damage by inhibiting TLR4/MyD88/NF-κB activation in the IEC-6 cells.

AIM To explore the effects of glycyrrhetinic acid on the gastric ulcer rats infected by Helicobacter pylori (Hp) and its action mechanism.METHODS Gastric ulcer rat models were induced by acetic acid stress and then followed by Hp infection.After treatment with low and high doses of glycyrrhetinic acid,the ulcer index,gastric acid and proteinase activities in gastric ulcer rats were analyzed.The effects of glycyrrhetinic acid on the expressions of BCL2 and Caspase-3,the GSK3β activity in gastric mucosa and gastric epithelial cells,and the cell apoptosis level were then detected.RESULTS Glycyrrhetinic acid reduced the ulcer index,gastric acid and proteinase activities in rats.Besides,the expression of BCL2 was significantly up-regulated by glycyrrhetinic acid in gastric mucosa and gastric epithelial cells,whereas the expression of Caspase-3,level of cell apoptosis,and GSK3β activity were significantly reduced.After the treatment with GSK3 β activator LY294002,the level of BCL2 was down-regulated,Caspase-3 expression was increased,and the level of cell apoptosis was enhanced.CONCLUSION Glycyrrhetinic acid promotes the healing of gastric ulcer infected by Hp via regulating GSK3β activity and inhibiting apoptosis of gastric epithelial cells.

[Summary] A total of 165 type 2 diabetic patients were divided into two groups with pigmented pretibial pathes(PPP group) and no PPP( NPPP group). 50 subjects with normal glucose regulation were used as a control group(NGR group). The records of sex, age, diabetes duration, body mass index( BMI), systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure, high density lipoprotein-cholesterol, low density lipoprotein-cholesterol, fasting blood glucose(FBG), 2 h postpradial plasma glucose(2hPG), triglyceride(TG), total cholesterol, HbA1C , retinol binding protein 4(RBP4), cystatin C(Cys C)were analyzed. The results showed that BMI,FBG, 2hPG, TG, and Cys C levels in NPPP group were higher than those in NGR group(all P<0. 01). The levels of BMI, SBP, FBG, 2hPG, TG, Cys C, and RBP4 in PPP group were higher than those in NGR group(P<0. 01 or P<0. 05), while diabetes duration, FBG, 2hPG, HbA1C , Cys C, and RBP4 in PPP group were higher than those in NPPP group ( P <0. 01). Pearson correlation analysis revealed that serum RBP4 and Cys C were in linear positive correlation(r=0. 77, P< 0. 01). The areas under receiver operating characteristic curve of RBP4 and Cys C were 0. 81 and 0. 78, respectively(P<0. 01). The results of binary logistic regression analysis showed that diabetes duration, HbA1C , RBP4 were related to PPP(r=0. 37, 0. 26, 0. 22, P<0. 05 or P<0. 01).

Objective To explore the effects of family-based symptoms self-management program on quality of life,psychology,physiologic function and other rehabilitation indexes in myocardial infarction(MI) patients. Methods A total of 146 myocardial infarction patients from Nanjing Gaochun People′s Hospital, the Branch of Nanjing Drum Tower Hospital were selected by convenience sampling from January 2013 to January 2016. They were divided into control group(n=72,routine health education provided by cardiovascular specialist nurse,three times a week,12 weeks)and experimental group(n=74,family-based symptoms self-management program,12 weeks)with the random number table. And then,the quality of life,psychology, physiologic function and other rehabilitation indexes were compared between two groups. Results The scores of four dimensions on physical activity,diet,concerns over medication and medical side effects of the myocardial infarction dimensional assessment scale(MIDAS)in experimental group were lower than those in control group with significant differences(t=53.31,60.90,71.89,24.69;P<0.05). The scores of two dimensions on anxiety and depression of the hospital anxiety and depression scale(HADS)in experimental group were significantly lower than those in control group(t=36.76,30.05;P < 0.05). The total cholesterol,triglyceride,blood pressure,body mass index and preprandial blood glucose in experimental group were lower than those in control group with significant differences(t=31.86,29.34,36.28,35.34,33.55,31.86;P < 0.05). Compared with control group,the family-based symptoms self-management program could effectively reduce the readmission rate of myocardial infarction patients,the incidence of complications,quit smoking rate and increase the exercise time weekly with significant differences(χ2/t=5.13,4.00,4.78,38.90;P<0.05). Conclusions The family-based symptoms self-management program for 12 weeks can improve the quality of life of MI patients, relieve anxiety and depression and debase the levels of MI related physiological indexes and other rehabilitation indexes.
