Objective The person's Mesangial Proliferative Glomemlonephritis (MsPGN) were divided into 3 types based on clini- cal manifestations: nephroticsyndrome, hematuria and proteinuria. To investigate the expression of CD11a, CD11b, CD62L and its signifi- cance in the kidneys patients with MsPGN. Methods CD11a, CD11b and CD62L expression in blood of MsPGN patients (n=35) were investigated by flow eytometry method, and the changes of these proteins in kidney were surveyed. Results In MsPGN, CD11a and CD11b expression in blood were significandy lower and CD62L expression in blood were markedly higher than that in normal humans. And the renal glomeruli of MsPGN also expressed CD11a, CD11b and CD62L. Conclusion The expression of CD11a, CD11b and CD62L are abnormal in MsPGN, and apoptosis may play certain role in the pathogenesis of MsPGN.

Objective To analyze the incidence of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) in patients with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage(t-SAH), time windows of CVS as well as the risk factors. Method A total of 98 patients,with t -SAH admitted from June 2007 to December 2008, were enrolled for this prospective study. The hemodynamics of middle cerebral artery (MCA) in these patients was monitored with trancranial Doppler (TCD) daily for 7 days after admission and on the 14th day of hospital stay. The incidence of cerebral vasospasm (CVS) in patients with traumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (t-SAH) ,time windows of CVS as well as the risk factors were analyzed. Results Of them, 41 patients (41.8%) had CVS. The flow velocity of MCA in patients with GCS≤ 8 was significantly higher than that in patients with GCS≥9. Classified by t-SAH cumulative blood Hijdra method, 2(4.44%) of 45 patients(45.9%)with scores 6 or less,9 (29.0%)of 31 patients (37.8%) with scores 6～ 13,and 8 (36.4%) of 22 patients (20.0%)with scores 13 or more had CVS. Severe CVS occurred in 13 (35. 1% )of 37 surgical patients (37.8%), and local cerebral infarction occurred in four surgical patients after symptomatic treatment. The flow velocity of the MCA was significantly higher in surgical patients than that in non-surgical patients 3 days after admission. Conclusions The severity of original trauma, bleeding, location of t-SAH and operation are the major risk factors to lead to CVS in patients with t-SAH. Attention should he paid to those risk factors during the treatment of patients with t-SAH.

Aim To investigate whether ulinastatin has a beneficial effect on lipopolysaccharide( LPS) induced acute respiratory distress syndrome ( ARDS ) in rats, and to explore the possible underlying mechanisms. Methods Fifty-six Wistar rats were randomly as-signed into control group, model group( LPS 6,12,24 h groups), ulinastatin group(UTI 6,12,24 h groups), with 8 in each group. ARDS rat model was reproduced by intraperitoneal injection of LPS ( 10 mg · kg-1 ) , The rats in UTI groups were injected ulinastatin (20 000 u·kg-1), The rats in the control group re-ceived an equal volume of normal saline at the same time, rats in each group were sacrificed at 6,12,24 hours after LPS challenge. Plasma and lung tissue sam-ples were collected, Histopathological evaluation, lung wet/dry (W/D) ratio, Tumor necrosis factor-a(TNF-α) , Interleukin-18 ( IL-18 ) , surfactant protein A ( SPA) , malondialdehyde ( MDA ) , nitric oxide ( NO ) and superoxide dismutase( SOD) were analyzed. Immu-nohistochemical method was performed to detect the protein expression of p38MAPK and ERK. Western blot method was used to detect lung phosphorylated p38 MAPK ( p-p38 MAPK ) and pERK protein expres-sion changes. Result In the control groups, lung tis-sue showed a normal structure and clear pulmonary al-veoli under a light microscope. In the model group, ARDS characters such as extensive thickening of the alveolar wall, significant infiltration of inflammatory cells, demolished structure of pulmonary alveoli, and hemorrhage were found. In the all UTI treatment groups, these pathological changes in lung were markedly alleviated compared with those of LPS-in-duced ARDS group. Compared with control groups, lung W/D ratio, tumor necrosis factor-a ( TNF-α) , in-terleukin-18 ( IL-18 ) and surfactant protein A ( SPA ) in plasma ,and lung MDA,NO levels in lung homogenates in the LPS group were increased significantly, while the lung SOD levels in the LPS group were decreased. Compared with the LPS group, lung W/D ratio, TNF-aIL-18 and ( SPAin plasma , and lung MDA levels in lung homogenates in the UTI groups were decreased significantly, while the lung SOD levels in the UTI groups were increased. Immunohistochemistry showed that positive expressions of p38 MAPK and ERK in cy-toplasm and nucleus in the ulinastatin treatment groups were significantly lower than those in the model group. Western blot showed that compared with the control group, the p-p38MAPK and pERK protein expression in LPS group were significantly increased, and the uli-nastatin could inhibit the protein expressions compared with model group. Conclusion Ulinastatin can signifi-cantly ameliorate the lung injury induced by LPS in rats via the intervention of p38 MAPK and ERK signa-ling pathway and reducing inflammation and antioxidant effect.

Objective By means of analyzing the antihypertensive use of hypertension patients of Guiyang in 2013 and impact factors for basic drug use,to evaluate the impacts of the essential medicines list in place in Guiyang to hypertension patients in communities in Guiyang.Methods 969 hypertension patients were surveyed with structured questionnaire of stratified random sampling at 6 community health centers in Guiyang city.Results Hypertension patients in communities averaged 1.4 types of antihypertensive,and the essential medicines used accounted for 39.8％of all the antihypertensive.The distribution differences of the ratio of essential medicines use are significant interms of age,gender,and household annual income.Use ratio of non-essential medicines of the 55～64 age group and 65～74 age group are 3.48 times and 0.47 times over that of the 75 and above age group.For hypertension patients of low income and medium income,their probable use of non-essential medicines is 2.05 and 2.87 times that of high income households.Conclusion As the use ratio of hypertension patients in Guiyang is relatively low,and the factors for it are age and household income,focused intervention is recommended for the 65～74 age group and low-income households,for the purpose of high use ratio of essential medicines of such people.

OBJECTIVEThe experiment was conducted to study the effect of soaking seeds with biogas slurry on seed germination and growth of Tagetes erecta so that we can provide theory base for cultivation management of T. ercta.

METHODIn order to find the best combine of biogas slurry concentration (25%, 50%, 75%, 100%) and soaking time (2, 3, 4, 5 h), completely randomized design was selected, germination percentage, seedling height, root length, root activity, content of chlorophyll (a, b) and MDA were analyzed and principle component analysis was adopted.

RESULTBoth soaking for 5 h in 25% biogas slurry and soaking for 4 h in 50% biogas slurry had the highest germination percentage (81.3%). Soaking for 5 h in 50% biogas slurry had the longest root, and soaking for 4 h in 50% biogas slurry had the highest root activity. They were significant higher than other 19 treatments. Soaking for 5 h in 50% biogas slurry had the highest content of chlorophyll a, chlorophyll b, chlorophyll (a + b) and ratio of chlorophyll a/ chlorophyll b. It was significant higher in these index, except b, than other 19 treatment. Soaking for 5 h in 25% biogas slurry had the lowest MDA content (0.0280 micromol x L(-1)), then was Soaking for 4 h in 50% biogas slurry (0.0286 micromol x L(-1) in MDA content).

CONCLUSIONAppropriate biogas slurry concentration combined with seed soaking time can improve the germination and growth of T. erecta. As a whole, soaking for 5 h in 50% biogas slurry had the best effects on germination and growth in seedling stage for T. erecta.

To explore the possibility of microencapsulation of chondrocytes in cartilage tissue engineering, immortalized manibular condylar chondrocytes (IMCCs) were microencapsuled by Alginate-polylysine-alginate (APA) method, according to air pressure shearing model. Phase contrast microscopy, trypan blue staining exclusion, cell number counting, HE staining and immunohistochemistry method were used to observe the morphology of the microencapsules, the growth character of cells, cartilage characteristics, and so on. The results showed that IMCC could survive and grow in microencapsule, and the viability rate of cells is more than 80 per cent. The diameter of microcapsule is 779 microns in average. The number of cell increased with time, and cells went into platform in about 20 days. Cells grew in clusters and cartilage specific proteoglycans and type II collagen were highly expressed. It was concluded that IMCC could form cartilage-like tissue within microencapsulation, implying that microencapsule technique might be applicable to cartilage tissue engineering.

Objective: To understand the current situation of breakfast consumption and its influencing factors in primary and middle school students in a poor rural area in a city in Guizhou Province, and to provide scientific basis for child nutrition education and intervention. Methods: A stratified cluster sampling method was used to conduct a questionnaire survey of breakfast behavior and influencing factors among 2 833 students from 3 primary schools and 3 middle schools in a area of Guizhou Province from April to June 2019. Results: The most frequently consumed breakfast was rice noodle products(71.66%), followed by fresh vegetables(45.89%), milk(35.55%), meat/egg/fish(29.33%), beans(19.52%), and fresh fruits(18.74%). The proportion of having breakfast everyday among elementary and middle school students who was 62.97%, and having breakfast 4-6 days peer week was 22.80%, and 14.23% with ≤3 days peer week, and the proportion of boys who ate breakfast every day(65.07%) was higher than girls(61.00%)(χ2=10.01, P<0.05). The proportion of low quality breakfast was 71.87%, and girls(73.68%) were higher than boys(69.94%)(χ2=9.29, P<0.05). Logistic regression analysis showed that grade of school, boarding school, and sleep quality are all influencing factors for whether to eat breakfast every day; grade of school, whether to stay at school were factors that affect breakfast quality(P<0.05). Conclusion The frequency and quality of breakfast need more improvement among middle and primary school students in a poor rural area of a city in Guizhou Province. Students, parents, and teachers should be educated on nutrition to promote healthy eating and sleeping habits and improve student health.
