BACKGROUND:Some studies have shown that hyperlipidemia can lead to osteoporosis in rats, and exercise can increase the bone mineral density of rats. But the effect of short-time exercise on the bone mineral density of hyperlipdemia induced osteoporosis male rats is unclear yet.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effect of short-time middle-load treadmil exercise on the bone mineral density of hyperlipidemia male rats.
METHODS:Twenty-six male Sprague Dawley rats were randomly divided into three groups:control group (n=8), hyperlipidemia group (n=9) and exercise intervention group (n=9). The rats in the control group were fed with normal diet, and the rats in the other two groups were fed with high-fat diet and lasted for 4 weeks to establish the hyperlipidemia models. The rats in the exercise intervention group received treadmil exercise 5 days per week for 4 weeks according to the fol owing schedule:15 m/min for 15 minutes in the 1st week, 15 m/min for 20 minutes in the 2nd week, and then 20 m/min for 20 minutes in the last 2 weeks. Slope grade of the treadmil was adjusted at 0°. At the end of experiment, the rats were sacrificed, and the bone mineral density of the right femur, the morphological change of tibia, the level of plasma alkaline phosphates and calcium content were examined.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Compared with the control group, the distal femur bone mineral density in hyperlipidemia group was significantly decreased (P<0.05);histological analysis of the proximal tibia showed thinning and loss of bony trabeculae arrangement, the gap was widened, and a large amount of fat cel s infiltration or integration into vacuoles in the marrow was observed, the plasma alkaline phosphates was significantly increased (P<0.01). Compared with the hyperlipidemia group, distal femur bone mineral density in the exercise intervention group was increased (P<0.05). After adjust body weight, the whole femur bone mineral density was significantly greater in exercise intervention group compared to hyperlipidemia group (P<0.05). The histological analysis of the proximal tibia showed that the spaces of bone trabeculae decreased and the structure of bone trabeculae compacted, the alkaline phosphates activities were increased (P<0.01). There were no significant differences in serum calcium and phosphates levels between groups. The results show that short-time middle-load treadmil exercise can increase the bone mineral density of hyperlipidemia male rats.

Objective To evaluate the influence of indoor air filtration by air purifier on the behavior of indoor radon progeny and estimate its effects on indoor radon exposure to residents.Methods The concentrations of indoor radon progeny with and without the air filtration were calculated by the theoretical model developed in this study.Based on the dose conversion factors of attached and unattached radon progeny,the mitigation effects of indoor radon exposure due to the air filtration were estimated.Verification experiments were conducted in an airtight room.Results With the air filtration rate increased,the removal efficiency of indoor radon progeny would appear more obvious.For an airtight room with its initial aerosol concentration of 10 000 cm-3,the concentration of total radon progeny would decrease by more than 90％ when the air filtration rate exceeded 10 h-1.But the concentrations of indoor unattached radon progeny would increase by using the air purifier in different extents.The variations of radon progeny concentrations and the decrease of internal doses were closely related to the filtration rate of air purifier.With the air filtration rates increased,the mitigation effects would be better and faster.The internal dose would reduce by more than 70％ when the filtration rate exceeded 5 h-1.Conclusions Although the indoor concentration of unattached radon progeny will increase by using the air purifier,it is still effective in reducing the exposure dose to residents due to the inhalation of radon progeny.

Objective To evaluate the in vitro antimicrobial activity of piperacillin-sulbactam against clinical isolates of non-fermentative bacilli isolated from common infections. Methods Microdilution was employed to study the antimicrobial resistance. Results A total of 770 strains were collected from 6 hospitals in Guangzhou, including Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Acinetobacter baumannii, Stenotrophomonas maltophilia , Burkholderia cepacia , Flavobacterium , and Alcaligenes. Compared with other β-lactams,piperacillin-sulbactam displayed the highest activity against all the isolates of P. aeruginosa, especially for imipenem non-sensitive isolates, with the susceptibility of 71.9% and 55.8%, respectively. Piperacillinsulbactam and cefoperazone-sulbactam kept good activity against imipenem sensitive isolates of A. baumannii,with the susceptibility of 71.0% and 73. 0%, respectively. For the strains of Burkholderia cepacia, 69% strains exhibited minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of ≤ 16 mg/L for piperacillin-sulbactam. For the strains of Flavobacterium, and Alcaligenes, piperacillin-sulbactam also had excellent activity, with the susceptibility of 70. 2% and 94. 4%, respectively. Conclusion Piperacillin-sulbactam exhibits good activity again non-fermentative bacilli, especial for imipenem non-sensitive isolates of P. aeruginosa.

Objective To establish an accurate method for estimating the indoor gamma dose rate from decorative stones.Methods Combining a room model with decorating conditions,the gamma dose rates and dose rate conversion factors (DCF) at 1 m above the floor in the room center were calculated with the Monte Carlo simulations,and the calculation results were verified through experiments.Based on the results,the limit of radionuclide contents in stone materials was further discussed.Results The DCF increases with the increase of area or thickness of decorative stones in the same room.The increase of DCF with the thickness of decorative stone is approximately linear.The DCF also increases with the area of decorative stones,but the increasing trend slows down.For the same decorative stones,the smaller the room,the larger the increase of gamma dose rate.Experimental results were consistent with the simulation results within ± 20％.Conclusions The increase of indoor gamma dose rate depends not only on the radionuclide contents,but also on the area and thickness of the decorative stones as well as the room size.The method used in this study can be used to estimate,more accurately than ever,the additional external exposure to residents due to decorative stones,and it provides a theoretical basis for revising the limit standard on radionuclide contents in decorative materials.

OBJECTIVE To study the Pseudomonas aeruginosas drug resistance in intensive care unit and its fluoroquinolone-resistant molecular mechanism,and provide scientific basis for rational employment of antibiotics in clinic. METHODS E test was used to determine the minimal inhibitory concentrations(MIC) of 13 antibiotics against 83 P. aeruginosa strains. Twenty-eight fluoroquinolone-resistant strains were selected with standard sensitive strain-ATCC27853 as control. The quinolone resistance-determining region(QRDR)of the gyrA and parC genes was amplified by PCR and sequenced. RESULTS The positive rate of P. aeruginosa in sputum specimen was the highest from 83 strains (71.08%). gyrA Genes of all resistant strains had an ACC to ATC mutation in codon 83,leading to the amino acid substitution of threonine for a an isoleucine and 11 high level resistant strains also showed a GAC to GGC mutation in codon 87,leading to the substitution of an aspartic acid a glycine for. In addition,14 resistant strains also had an TCG to TTG mutation in codon 87 of parC gene,leading to the amino acid substitution of a serine for a leucine. We didn't find parC gene mutation existing independent in fluoroquinolone-resistant P. aeruginosa. CONCLUSIONS Meropenem remains highly active against P. aeruginosa. But the abuse of imipenem and other fluoroquinolones leads to rise in their drug-resistance rate. Fluoroquinolone-resistance has increased rapidly,the mechanism of resistance is gene mutant. It displayed that gyrA and parC gene mutation is associated with fluoroquinolone resistance.
