Objective To find the changes and effects of nitric oxide synthase activity in atherosclerotic rabbit models. Methods Thirty rabbits were divided into 3 groups at random: control group, atherogenic diet group, balloon-injury+ atherogenic diet group. Three months later underwent pharmacological triggering with Chinese Russell’s viper venom and histamine to make the plaque rupture. Lipid concentrations and the levels of nitric oxide (NO), NOS and hydroxy radical (OH) in the serum were obtained at different period, and pathologic changes were observed. Results In atherogenic diet group and balloon-injury+ atherogenic diet group, serum lipid concentrations markedly increased, but the levels of NO did not show any difference. The activity of NOS and OH levels were obviously increased after the atherogenic diet. But it reduced after pharmacological triggering and plaque rupture. Conclusion In early period of atherosclerosis, NOS activity up regulated and endothelium functions were compensated. But, When the atherosclerotic plaques were unstable, the activity of NOS descended obviously and endothelium function goes into incompensation.

Objective To observe late effect of 60Co radiation accident on eye lens in the victims.Methods Medical observations of eye lens were performed on ten victims accidentally exposed to 60Co sources in four radiation accidents that have occurred from 1986 to 2000 in Henan Province.Pathological changes of the eye lenses were examined by using slit lamp microscopy after mydriasis with compound tropicamide.Results Of these ten victims, Liang in a radiation accident in Kaifeng (in 1986), Mei in Xinxiang (in 1999) and Xu in Xuchang (in 2000) all had typical radiation-induced cataract 2, 3 and 6 years after irradiation, respectively.Follow-up observation of the lens showed the punctate and/or granular opacities present in the eye posterior subcapsular of Yan in Kaifeng accident, Jie in Zhengzhou (1987), and Tian, Yong and Yi in Xinxiang accident, featuring the early changes of radiation-induced cataract, but the posterior subcapsular opacities were not observed in Wang and Min in Xinxiang accident.Conclusions Focus should be on the eye lens as the target organ of radiation exposure in long-term follow-up of victims accidentally exposed to radiation source.Severity of the lens opacity induced by ionizing radiation is closely associated with radiation doses.

Objective:To investigate mechanical properties,fluorine release behavior and bacteria inhibition effect of hydroxyapatite-improved glass ionomer cement(HA/GIC).Methods:HA/GIC was prepared with HA mass fraction of 28％.Bending strength and compressive strength of HA/GIC and GIC were measured by an universal material testing machine.Microstructure of the materials was observed by scanning microscope technique (SEM).Accumulation of fluorine release was measured by fluorine ion selective electrode.Bacterial inhibition of total bacteria and Streptococcus mutans was monitored by fluorescence in situ hybridization.Results:Bending strength,compressive strength and fluorine release accumulation of HA/GIC were significantly higher than those of GIC (P ＜ 0.05).There were many.irregular polymerized particle monomers and micro cracks within the GIC.In HA/GIC,hydroxyapatite particles were connected with original composition.Bacterial inhibition of total bacteria and Streptococcus mutans by HA/GIC was more effective than that by GIC.Conclusion:HA/GIC has perfect mechanical properties,fluorine release behavior and bacterial inhibition effect.

Objective:To investigate the clinical significance of dynamic analysis of plasma brain natriuretic peptide in patients with dilated cardiomyopathy with chronic heart failure.Methods:Ninety patients with dilated cardiomyopathy with chronic heart failure admitted into our hospital firom March 2012 to March 2016 were divided into group A (20 cases),group B (38 cases),and group C (32 cases) according to the NYHA grading.The plasma BNP levels and LVEF,LA,LVEDD,and LVESD in the three groups were detected and compared.The correlation of plasma BNP and cardiac function and ultrasonic cardiogram indexes were analyzed.And the capability of plasma BNP and LVEF in diagnosis of patients were analyzed and compared.Results:The plasma BNP level in group C was markedly higher than that of group A and group B (P＜0.05),and that in group B was much higher than that of group A (P＜0.05).And LA in group C was significantly higher than that of group A (P＜0.05),while differences in LVEF,LVEDD,and LVESD were not obvious (P＞0.05).The plasma BNP was positively correlated to NYHA grading,but had no significant correlation with the LVEF,LVEDD,LVESD,and LA (P＞0.05).Based on results of receiver operating characteristic curve analysis,plasma BNP =523.5 pg/mL was the threshold value for identification of patients with NYHA Ⅲ and Ⅳ (AUC=0.901,P＜0.001),while LVEF had not the capability (AUC=0.392,P=0.276).Conclusion:Detection of plasma BNP level had important clinical significance on diagnosis,screening and cardiac functional grading of patients with dilated cardiomyopathy with chronic heart failure.

Objective To explore the long-term health effects of overexpose to radiation.Methods The 32 -41-year medical followed-up observations were performed for 25 persons exposed to ionizing radiation in the dose range of 0.10 -0.33 Gy. Observations were made of clinical symptom,eye lens,cytogenetics,immune function and endocrine function for these persons. Results The incidence of neurasthenic symptom was higher in exposed group than that in control group.2 cases suffered from liver cancer and esophageal cancer,respectively. Posterior capsule punctate phacoscotasmus of the lens wereobserved in 7 cases.There was I case of cataract in the exposed group. The frequencies of chromosomeaberration and micronucleis in peripheral blood lymphocyte in the exposed group were significantly higherthan those in control group (x2 =8.88,8.71,40.60,45.63,P ＜ 0.05 ).The average value of serum IgG was higher(t =2.16,P ＜0.05 ),while that of IgM was obviously lower in the exposed group (t =2.03,P ＜0.05).The average values of serum triiodothyronine (T3),thyroxine (T4 ) and thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH) in the exposed group were obviously lower than those in the control group (t =2.40,3.54,2.13,P ＜0.05 ).Conclusions Overexposure has effect on lens,immune function,cytogenetics to some degree.It is important to observe the long-term health effect on overexposed persons.

The introduction of stapling instruments and improved understanding of pathology has resulted in a greater proportion of low rectal cancer patients undergoing sphincter-preserving resection.A variety of alternative techniques have been proposed to avoid a permanent stoma,including abdominal pull through,abdominal trans-sphincteric resection and intersphincteric resection.However,these damages always inflicted on the anal sphincters with poor functional results.More recently,the anterior perineal plane for ultra-low anterior resection of the rectum (APPEAR) technique was developed which approaches the anurectum via an anterior transperineal approach and exploits an anatomic space within the pelvic floor musculature termed “rectal no-man's laud”.The ability to access this segment of distal rectum by the perineal approach may determine whether a sphincter-saving resection can be performed for a proportion of patients who would otherwise require a permanent stoma.We performed laparoscopic APPEAR for a 46-year old woman with low rectal cancer with satisfactory results.

In order to obtain an attenuated vaccine candidate for enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (EPEC) O45, a ler deletion mutant of pig enteropathogenic E. coli (PEPEC) O45 was constructed by using the suicide vector pCVD442, termed as PEPEC O45(deltaler). The culture supernatant of PEPEC O45(deltaler) deletion mutant was inoculated in vero cell culture. PEPEC O45(deltaler) deletion mutant lost the toxigenicity to vero cell. Test group and control group of mice were orogstrically inoculated with the PEPEC O45(deltaler) deletion mutant and the virulent strain O45 respectively. Mice were observed daily for clinical signs and weight changes. Test group of mice inoculated with PEPEC O45(deltaler) gained weight normally and experienced no clinical signs. In contrast, control group of mice inoculated with virulent strain O45 exhibited weight loss and all died in four days. In another experiment, pregnant mice and pig were orally vaccinated by PEPEC O45(deltaler) twice at interval of 14 days respectively. Subsequently, the suckling mice and pig were orally challenged with O45 at 7 days of age respectively. The results showed that 80% of the sucking mice born by vaccinated mice and 75% of the sucking pig born by vaccinated pig were survival; 15% of the sucking mice born by non-vaccinated mice and 10% of the sucking pig born by non-vaccinated pig were survival. This study demonstrated that PEPEC O45(deltaler) deletion mutant lost the toxigenicity to vero cell and to be safety to mice and pig. Oral immunization can induce specific immune responses in mice and pig, and this mutant strain could be used as an attenuated vaccine candidate against PEPEC O45.
