Objective To study the effects of N,P,and K fertilizers on the growth and accumulation of secondary metabolites,to reveal the accumulation relationship between the biomass and the secondary metabolites in medicinal plants in the plantation,and to establish the basic theory of fertilization in medicinal plant culture.Methods Orthogonal design was used to study the effects of nine combinations of N,P, and K on the biomass and active constituents in three levels of three factors.While plants flowered,they were harvested,weighed,and smashed.Then contents of N,total caffee esters,and scutellarin were anaylzed.Results High amount of N,P,and K fertilizers was optimum to the accumulation of biomass, but low amount of N,P,and K fertilizers was optimum to the accumulation of total caffee esters and scutellarin.The N fertilizer significantly increased the biomass and decreased the content of total caffee esters and scutellarin in Erigeron breviscapus,but did not affect the active constituents yield.The effect of P on the accumulation of active constituents was higher than that of K,but its effect on the biomass accumulation was lower than that of K.The effect of K on the active constituents yield was the highest.Conclusion N,P,and K fertilizers could increase biomass and active constituents yield,nevertheless,decrease the contents of flavonoids in medicinal plants.

Object To study the regular change of total flavonoids in Erigeron breviscapus (Vant.) Hand-Mazz (TFE) in different parts of the plant, different individual plant and population from different habitat. Methods Samples of E. breviscapus from eight districts around Qiubei, Kunming and at altitude on Cangshan mountain, Dali were collected and their flavonoids determined.Results TFE showed different values in samples from different origin, with the tendency to show an increase with increase of altitude. The aerial parts including stem, leaf, and flower were higher than that of the underground root.E. breviscapus grown in the same ecological conditions also showed different TFE values from individual to individual.Conclusion Variation in TFE was influenced by the combined effects of genotype and ecological conditions.

Objective To knockout the cell division cycle 25 homolog C(Cdc25C) gene in HeLa human cervical cancer cells and to construct HeLa Cdc25C gene knockout stable strains using clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats(CRISPR)/Cas9 gene-editing system.Methods The sequence of the small guide RNA(sgRNA),which could specifically recognize the first exon of Cdc25C,was designed according to the target-designing rules of CRISPR/Cas9 for construction of eukaryotic recombinant expressional plasmids.After sequencing,the plasmid was transfected into HeLa cells.The stable Cdc25C-knocking out strains were screened through the stress of puromycin,and the knockout effect was detected by Western blotting.The cell cycle was analyzed by flow cytometry.Results The stable Cdc25C-knocking out strains were obtained.Moreover,the gene′s knockout obviously delayed the progression of G2/M phase.Conclusion The HeLa Cdc25C gene knockout stable strain is successfully built using CRISPR/Cas9 system,facilitating studies on the function of Cdc25C and the mechanism of carcinogenesis.

ObjectiveTo investigate the relation of obesity parameters,including body mass index (BMI),waist-to-height ratio(WHR),waist circumference,and waist-to-hip ratio(WHR),with hypertension in adolescents.MethodsA cross-section study was conducted among 3953 adolescents aged 12 to 18 years old,who were assigned to the normal blood pressure group (3724) or hypertension group(229).Measurements were height,weight,waist circumference,systolic blood pressure (SBP),and diastolic blood pressure (DBP).ResultsThe data showed that mean BMI,WHR,waist circumference,WHR,SBP,and DBP in the hypertension group Was significantly higher than those in the normal blood pressure group(all P<0.05).In partial correlation analysis,BMI,WHR,waist circumference,and WHR were positively correlated with both SBP and DBP after gender or age were adjusted(r'=0.3228 and 0.2358,both P<0.05).For alias under the receiver operating curve(ROC),the BMI was obserred to strongly predict hypertension in male (0.715;95%CI0.659-0.771)and female (0.702;95%CI0.646-0.757).BMI was also entered into the multiple linear regression modeL ConclusionBMI could be an effective predictive factor of hypertension in adolescents.

OBJECTIVE: To analyze the long-term efficacy of nasal endoscopic opticnerve decompression for traumatic optic neuropathy(TON) and to explore its possible influencing factors. METHOD: To summarize the clinical data of 39 cases underwent transnasal decompression, which were followed-up for more than 1 year. The data, including optic canal CT scanning, flashed-elicited visual-evoked potential (FVEP), preoperational vision and visual field examination were reviewed. Nasal endoscopic optic nerve decompression was preformed. Whether or not optic nerve sheath incision decided to perform was according to preoperative CT and situations in operation. Postoperative follow-up including vision, visual field, funduscopy, nasal endoscopy were performed. RESULT: Total efficacy rate was 30. 77% (12/39), inefficacy rate was 69. 23%(27/39). The efficacy rate was 85. 71% with better than nolight perception, and the efficacy rate was 18. 75% with nolight perception, the clinical effect in the group of preoperative better than nolight perception was better than that of nolight perception, the difference was statistically significant (P<0. 05). The efficacy rate was 34. 38% with duration of less than 7 days from the traumatic point to the operation point, and the efficacy rate was 14. 29% for more than 7 days, but the difference was not statistically significant (P> 0. 05). The efficacy rate was 26. 32% with optic nerve sheathincision, while the efficacy rate was 35. 00% without optic nerve sheath incision, and there was no statistically significant difference (P>0. 05); Postoperative vision tended to stabilize until about 6 months post-operation, without complications. CONCLUSION The long-term efficacy of nasal endoscopic opticnerve decompression for TON was certain; The efficacy with preoperative residual vision was better than that of nolight perception, the factor of long or short duration from the trauma point to the operation point and the factor of optic nerve sheath incision didn't influence long curative effect. To avoid the secondary damage to the optic nerve after trauma was the key to increase long curative effect in TON.

Objective To analyze the characteristics of long-range monitoring of fetal heart rate in the third trimester fetuses with atypical non-stress test (NST).Methods Long-range monitoring of fetal heart rate was performed in low-risk pregnant women who received antenatal care between April 2014 and October 2015 in Peking University Third Hospital.All subjects underwent NST from the 36th gestational week,and divided into normal NST (30 cases) and atypical NST (36 cases) groups according to the results of NST.The clinical data,including maternal age,gestational age at delivery,termination of pregnancy,neonatal asphyxia,hospitalization rate and umbilical cord blood peak-systolic/diastolic ratio value were collected.The data of long-range monitoring were analyzed by specially designed computer software.T test and Chi-square test were applied for statistical analysis.Results There were no differences in maternal age,gestational age at delivery,mode of delivery and incidence of neonatal asphyxia between the two groups (all P＞0.05).In atypical NST group,fetal heart rate baseline was higher [(138.05±5.65) vs (135.10±5.39) bpm] (t=-2.170,P＜0.05),and fetal heart rate baseline variability was lower than in normal NST group [(5.19±1.07) vs (6.28±1.15) bpm] (t=3.960,P＜0.001).Compared with normal NSTs,the percentage of mild baseline variability was significantly increased in atypical NST group [(40.79±9.97) vs (51.17± 10.84)％],while that of moderate variability was significantly decreased [(56.57±8.86) vs (46.72± 10.24)％] (t=-4.018 and 4.133,both P ＜ 0.001).In atypical NSTs,the average ratio of time of acceleration/the whole time of monitoring [(37.41 ±4.60)％] and acceleration area per unit time[(1.42±0.48) cm2/20 min] were decreased compared with normal NSTs [(40.78±4.23)％ and (2.03±0.67) cm2/20 min] (t=3.079 and 4.359,both P＜0.05).Conclusions Long-range monitoring of fetal heart rate in the third trimester fetuses with atypical NST is characterized by the declined fetal heart rate baseline variability,increased proportion of mild variability and unit time acceleration area;but these are not associated with pregnancy outcomes and short-term prognosis.

Objective:To explore the independent prognostic factors of primary osteosarcoma patients under 20 years old after radical surgery, so as to predict the prognosis and survival of patients.Methods:The clinicopathological data of 1 339 patients with primary osteosarcoma diagnosed and registered in the National Cancer Institute Surveillance, epidemiology and outcome database (SEER) from 1984 to 2014 were retrospectively analyzed. Kaplan Meier method was used to calculate the survival rate of patients. Log rank test was used to evaluate the survival difference. Cox multivariate analysis was used to determine the independent prognostic factors of osteosarcoma after radical surgery factor.Results:The results of primary osteosarcoma patients undergoing radical surgery found that 34 cases (2.54%) aged 0-5 years old, 236 cases (17.63%) aged 6-10 years old, and 600 cases (44.81%) aged 11-15 years old and 469 cases (35.02%) aged 16-20 years old. The median survival time was 68 months. Among them, 757(56.53%) were male and 582(43.47%) were female. Among the 1 339 cases, 986 were white (73.64%), followed by black 230(17.18%), and 123 other races (9.18%). Multivariate analysis revealed that males ( HR=1.242; 95% CI:1.024-1.505), axial osteosarcoma ( HR=1.589; 95% CI:1.179-2.166), and regional invasion of osteosarcoma ( HR=1.470; 95% CI:1.156-1.870), distant metastasis ( HR=3.536; 95% CI:2.725-4.589) were independent risk factors for overall survival. Other types of osteosarcoma ( HR=0.471; 95% CI:0.285-0.779) were independent protective factors for overall survival. Conclusions:Based on the SEER database, this study identified independent prognostic factors for patients with primary osteosarcoma under the age of 20 who underwent radical surgery, which will help clinicians formulate individualized medical strategies and predict patients′ prognosis.

Objective To evaluate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP) of candidate genes and radiation-induced esophagitis (RIE) in patients with lung cancer. Methods Between Jan. 2004 and Aug. 2006,170 patients with pathologically diagnosed lung cancer were enrolled in this study. The total target dose was 45-70 Gy( median 60 Gy). One hundred and thirty-two patients were treated with three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy(3DCRT) and 38 with two-dimensional radiotherapy(2DRT).Forty-one patients received radiotherapy alone, 78 received sequential chemoradiotherapy and 51 received concurrent chemoradiotherapy. Thirty-seven SNPs in 20 DNA repair genes were analyzed by using PCR-based restrieted fragment length polymorphism(RFLP). These genes were apoptosis and inflammatory cytoking genes including ATM, ERCC1, XRCC3, XRCC1, XPD, XPC, XPG, NBS1, STK15, ZNF350, ADPRT,TP53, FAS, FASL, CYP2D6 * 4, CASPASE8, COX2,TGF-β, CD14 and ACE. The endpoint was grade ≥2 R I E. Results Forty of the 170 patients developed grade ≥2 R I E, including 36 in grade 2 and 4 in grade 3. Univariate analysis revealed that radiation technique and concurrent chemoradiotherapy were statistically significant relatives to the incidence of R I E (P = 0. 032,0.049) , and both of them had the trend associating with the esophagitis( P = 0.072,0. 094 ). An increased incidence of esophagitis was observed associating with the TGF-β1-509T and XPD 751 Lys/Lys genotypes ( χ2 = 5.65, P = 0.017 ;χ2 = 3.84, P = 0. 048 )in multivariate analysis. Conclusions Genetic polymorphisms in TGF-β1 gene and XPD gene have a significant association with radiation-induced esophagitis.
