Effects of microiontophoretically applied transmitter receptor antagonists on the evoked response of “pain” units of PVN in rats by sciatic stimulation were observed. The results showed: (l)The evoked response of 7 out of 38 PVN “pain” units could be blocked by atropine (7/38); 5 out of 27 by hexamethonium; 6 out of 31 by phentolamine (6/31); and 4 out of 25 by propranolol (4/25). Seventeen out of 52 were blocked by cyproheptadine (17/52), but 3 out of 52 were augmented by cyproheptadine (3/52). (2) The evoked response of the same “pain” unit could be blocked by two antagonists: the evoked response of 2 out of 27 PVN “pain” units could be blocked by atropine and cyprohepadine; 3 out of 20 by hexamethonium and cyproheptadine; 2 out of 25 by prepamolol and cyproheptadine. These results suggest that the noxious somatic input to PVN involves 5-HT, cholinergic and adrenergic transmitter receptor mechanisms and that the convergence of various transmitter systems on PVN “pain” unit is indicated.

Objective:To explore the influence of different blood glucose level at hospitalization on no-reflow and prognosis in patients with acute myocardial infarction (AMI),but without diabetes after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI).Methods:A total of 678 non-diabetic AMI patients undergoing PCI were selected.Ac-cording to blood glucose level at hospitalization,patients were divided into normal group (n=312),blood glucose level higher group (higher group ,n=201)and blood glucose level extremely high group (extremely high group,n=165).Clinical characteristics,no-reflow after PCI and incidence of cardiovascular events within 30d after PCI were compared among three groups.Results:Compared with normal group and higher group,there were significant rise in age,percentages of >1 location of myocardial infarction and Killip's ≥ class II,white blood cell count instant af-ter hospitalization,peak value of creatine kinase (CK)and CK-isoenzyme (CK-MB)in extremely high group,P <0.01 all;Compared with normal group,the age,peak value of CK and CK-MB significantly rose in higher group (P<0.01 all).Along with blood glucose rose,incidence rate of no-reflow significantly increased (17.0% vs.38.8%vs.49.7%),left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF)on 30d after PCI gradually reduced [(68.6± 5.7)% vs. (62.2±6.4)% vs.(55.6±6.9)%]in above-mentioned 3 groups in turn,there was significant difference between any two groups,P <0.05 or <0.01.Conclusion:Stress hyperglycemia possesses great influence on no-reflow and prognosis in non-diabetic AMI patients after PCI.

OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the determination of 4 flavonoids constituents in Yinqiao capsules. METH-ODS:HPLC method was adopted.

Objective:To understand the surveillance of iodine deficiency disorders (IDD) in Zhongwei City of Ningxia Hui Autonomous Region after marketization reform of salt industry (2017).Methods:In 2018, Shapotou District, Zhongning County and Haiyuan County of Zhongwei City were divided into five sampling areas according to the location of east, west, south, north and middle. In each area, one township was selected, and three salt sales outlets were selected from each township; at the same time, three supermarkets were selected from the cities and towns of each county (district), and different kinds of salt samples in all sales outlets and supermarkets were tested semi-quantitatively. From 2016 to 2020, Shapotou District, Zhongning County and Haiyuan County of Zhongwei City were divided into five sampling areas according to the location of east, west, south, north and middle. One township was selected from each area, and one primary school was selected from each township, 40 non-boarding students aged 8 - 10 years old (age balanced, half males and half females) were selected from each primary school; at the same time, 20 pregnant women were selected from each township, and salt samples were collected from houses of children and pregnant women to test salt iodine content. From 2018 to 2020, according to the "Ningxia Iodine Deficiency Disorders Surveillance Program (2016 Edition)", random urine samples of children and pregnant women were collected to detect urinary iodine content. In 2018 and 2019, the thyroid volume of children was measured by B-mode ultrasound, and the goiter rate was calculated.Results:In 2018, 13 kinds of salt were supplied in the market of Zhongwei City, a total of 130 salt samples were tested, and 11 samples of non-iodized salt were detected, with a rate of 8.46%. From 2016 to 2020, the consumption rates of qualified iodized salt in Zhongwei City were 90.33% (813/900), 67.89% (611/900), 78.67% (708/900), 91.56% (825/901) and 94.44% (850/900), respectively. From 2018 to 2020, the medians urinary iodine of children aged 8 - 10 years old were 189.33, 195.64, and 222.10 μg/L, and the medians urinary iodine of pregnant women were 158.21, 158.01, and 171.84 μg/L, respectively. In 2018 and 2019, the goiter rates of children aged 8 - 10 years old were 1.75% (7/400) and 0.67% (4/600), respectively.Conclusion:After marketization reform of salt industry, the consumption rates of qualified iodized salt in Zhongwei City decrease in 2017 and 2018, however, children and pregnant women have sufficient iodine nutrition, and the goiter rate of children is controlled at a low level.

Objective To analysis the related factors and the morbidity of patients with Chlamydia trachomatis(CT),Neisse-ria gonorrhea(NG),Ureaplasma urealyticum (UU)in Beijing Union Medical College Hospital.Methods Simultaneous Am-plification and Testing (SAT)was used to detect CT-RNA,NG-RNA,UU-RNA of patients from January of 2013 to Decem-ber of 2014.Results There were 6 262 cases in all and 2 412 cases in 2013,and 3 850 cases in 2014.The positive rate of CT-RNA,NG-RNA and UU-RNA were 7.29%,3.44% and 38.21% in 2013.The positive rate of CT-RNA,NG-RNA and UU-RNA were 8.17%,4.15% and 45.71% in 2014 respectively,which were higher than those of in 2013.There was a signifi-cant difference in UU-RNA positive rate between the two years (χ2 =12.66,P <0.01).The positive rate of CT-RNA,NG-RNA and UU-RNA were 8.15%,3.89% and 42.77% respectively in two years.The positive rate of UU-RNA in women’s (61.05%)was significantly higher than the men’s (24.50%)(χ2 =316.13,P <0.01).Most of the people with CT-RNA, NG-RNA and UU-RNA-positive were between 21 to 30 years old.The highest detection positive rate was in cervical swabs samples of UU-RNA.Conclusion There was a significantly increasing trend of the infection with UU.Male were more sus-ceptible to CT and NG.However,female were more susceptible to UU.There was the highest infection rate in youth (21~30 years)with CT,NG and UU.

Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the protein expression of Snail in 5 specimens jusxta-eancerous normal breast tissues, 35 specimens of cancerous tissues without metastasis and 20 specimens of breast carcinoma with lymphonode metastasis. Breast carcinoma cell line MDA-MB-231 was transfected with antisense Snail. Results showed that the expression of Snail protein was significantly higher in breast carcinomas than in their normal tissues. The mRNA and protein expressions of Snail in the breast carcinoma cells treated with antisense Snail was significantly decreased while the E-cadherin protein significantly increased (both P < 0.05). The number of invasive ceils treated with antisense Snail was (10.5±1.3)%, while in treated with EGFP was (68.2±2.1)% (P < 0.05). The abnormal expression of Snail contribute to the invasiveness of breast carcinoma. The antisense Snail could prevent the cells ability to invade in vitro, and the effect is related with the up-regulated E-cadherin protein.

Objective To study the dynamic changes of anatomy and the dosimeter distribution those changes influenced. Methods Initially simplified intensity modulated radiation therapy (sIMRT)were performed to twenty-nine patients with phase Ⅲ - Ⅳa esophageal carcinoma from January 2007 to March 2009. The target volumes and involving organs were contoured on the primary spiral CT pictures.After sIMRT planning being finished, secondary CT scan was acquired to rectify the treatment center. For eleven patients at every other week and eighteen patients at the fourth week, spiral CT images were acquired according to the same treatment center, and thereafter fused with the first CT images. Firstly, the law of change and the best time of replanning were searched:the changed gross tumor volume (GTV), gross node volume (GTVnd), plan target volume (PTV) and normal organs (lung, spinal cord, heart and outline) on the fusion interface were modified by a single physician, the changes for each structure throughout treatment were measured by system software. Secondly, dose distributions were computed and evaluated for replanning CT using the same beams arrangement as the initial plan. Cumulative dose was estimated using weighted average and compared with the original plan. Results For eleven patients, The law of change:the volume of outlines and GTV gradually decreased, and the change come to peak in the fourth week. The conformal index for PTV gradually decreased, whereas the heterogeneous index gradually increased. For twenty-nine patients on the fourth week, the dose of GTV were more than 60 Gy. The dose of PTV-D95 and CTV-D99 decreased ( t = 1.49, P = 0. 147 and t = 2. 07, P = 0. 048 respectively). The dose of CTV-D99 in two patients deceased to 54 Gy or less. The cord-Dmax and lung V30 increased significantly ( t = - 2. 42, P = 0. 022 and t = -2. 26,P =0. 032). Conclusions During the course of sIMRT for esophageal cancer, the volume of GTV decreased and the change come to peak in the fourth week. It is the best time for evaluating the change of dose of target volume using CT-CT fusion. For some patients, revise of the treatment plan is needed to ensure adequate target volume dosage and safety of normal tissues.

Objective To research the effect mechanism of ultrashortwave in the correlation of ultrashortwave and the tail replantation, provide the experiment basis of clinical practice of prevention and cure for the vascular crisis after micromodule anastomosis. Methods Eighty Sprague-Dawley(SD) rats of clean grade were 3-month-old,female,and were divided into four groups:control group (group 0),model group (group 1 ),contrast group (group 2),ultrashortwave (USW) group (group 3).The preparation of tail replantation model was cut off soft tissue except for caudal veins on both sides of the tail. The coccyx was not broken away from tail.At last,the audal artery under abdominal main centre ditch was anastomosed.In experiment process, the USW group was divided into high dosage group (group 3A) and low dosage group (group 3B). The caudal arterys were ligated and not anastomosed in the group 0. Caudal arterys in other groups were anastomosed.Rats in the group 0 and group 1 received no treatment,normal management after the operation. Rats in the group 2 were given abdominal cavity injection of papaverin liquid immediately,then once a day to 5 days after the tail replantation.Rats in the group 3 were immediately given USW therapy of twenty minutes on the anastomosis section,and then once a day for 5 days after the tail replantation.The USW dosage of group 3A was 3th grade and 50mA. The USW dosage of group 3B was 2th grade and 28mA.The survival rate of the rat tails was observed after the tail replantation for 10 day.Before being grouped,it was measured that the tail skin temperature diference between near and far side of anastomosis section.After the tail relpantation, the temperature diference was inspected daily for 10 postoperative days hence. Before rats were grouped and the eighth hour after the tail replantation, rats were collected blood plasma specimens and measured contents of nitric oxide with destination colorimetric mathods of nitric oxide.Results Carrying out comparison of survival rate of every group,the output weve:between tail cutting off group (group 0,0) and tail replantation group (group 1,2,3,43.94％) to compare P ＞ 0.05; between each group of the tail replantation groups (1,2,3A,3B group) to compare P＞ 0.05,group 3B ＜ 2 ＜ 1 ＜ 3A; between group 3B and group 1 to compare P ＞ 0.05; between group 2 and group 1 to compare P ＞ 0.05. Each group were compared with the change daily between postoperative and preceding operative the skin temperature diference,single-factor analysis of variance (One-Way ANOVA) analysis:Postoperative 1 day,group 3A ＜ 1,P ＜ 0.05.Postoperative 6 day:3A ＜ 3B ＜ 1 ＜ 2,P ＞ 0.05.Postoperative 7 day:group 3B ＜ 1 ＜ 3A ＜ 2,P ＜ 0.05.Each group were compared with the change of the content of nitric oxide between postoperative 8 hour and preceding operative,with rank-sum test:group 3B ＞ 3A ＞ 2 ＞ 1 ＞ 0,H =33.760,P ＜ 0.05,shows statistically significant.Conclusions USW therapy,especially USW low-dose therapy,can reduce vascular crisis and improve the survival rate of replanted rat tails,after the postoperative 1,6,7 days,reduce skin temperature,improve blood supply,improve nitric oxide at postoperative eighth hour,prevent vascular crisis.Rat tail replantation model in this experiment is feasible.

The advent of biologics and biologic therapy has transformed the management of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) with enhanced early and adequate responses to treatment, fewer hospitalizations, a reduced need for surgery, and unprecedented outcomes including complete mucosal and histologic healing. However, an important issue with the use of anti-tumor necrosis factor (anti-TNF) agents in IBD is the increased risk of tuberculosis (TB). This is compounded by the diagnostic dilemma when differentiating between Crohn’s disease and gastrointestinal TB, and the potentially serious consequences of initiating an incorrect treatment in the case of misdiagnosis. The interplay between IBD and TB is most relevant in Asia, where more than 60% of the 10.4million new TB cases in 2016 were reported. A number of studies have reported an increased risk of TB with anti-TNF agents, including in patients who had tested negative for TB prior to treatment initiation. The limited evidence currently available regarding adhesion molecule antagonists such as vedolizumab suggests a comparatively lower risk of TB, thus making them a promising option for IBD management in TBendemic regions. This comprehensive review examines the available literature on the risk of TB with the use of biologics in the TB-endemic regions of Asia, focusing on the diagnostic dilemma, the risk of reactivation, and the optimized management algorithms for latent and active disease.
