Anti-D immunoglobulin effectively prevents RhD alloimmunity and has a low incidence of adverse reactions, which are generally mild. A consensus is yet to be reached regarding the clinical norms in China. We provide an overview of anti-D immunoglobulin in preventing RhD alloimmunity, including its mechanism of action, dose-effect, and safety, the timing and rationality of prenatal antibody screening, the timing and dosage of routine prenatal administration of anti-D immunoglobulin, as well as the prenatal indications for an additional dosage of anti-D immunoglobulin and postpartum prevention based on evidence from both domestic and abroad.

We examined the effects of intracerebroventricular ( i. c. v) administration of adrenomedullin (ADM) on catecholaminergic neurons and the expression of c-fos gene in rat brain nuclei involved in cardiovascular regulation using double immunohistochemical method for Fos and tyrosine hydroxylase (TH). The results showed that: ( 1 ) Following icy administration of ADM (3 nmol/kg) , double-labeled neurons for Fos and TH were significantly increased in the area postrema ( AP), the nucleus of the solitary tract ( NTS), the nucleus paragigantocelluaris laterialis (PGL) and the locus coeruleus (LC). (2) Pretreatment with calcitonin gene-related peptide receptor antagonis CGRP8-37 (30 nmol/kg) significantly reduced the action of ADM (3 nmol/kg) in the brain. The present study suggested that ADM might activate the neurons of the brain nuclei involved in cardiovascular regulation, and supported the hypothesis that the central action of ADM were induced by activating the catecholaminergic neurons of brainstem nuclei involved in cardiovascular regulation, CGRP receptor might mediate the effects of ADM.

Methods 168 and 199 baccalaureate nursing students were in the control and experimental group respectively, the control group received traditional experimental teaching method, and the experimental group must complete the experimental design before entering the lab. The teaching effect between the two groups were compared. Results The mean operation score of the experimental group was significantly higher than the control group, the proportion of those students who reflected their teaching method could enhance creative ability, problem-solving ability and practical ability was higher in the experimental group, 100% teachers reflected experimental design could improve operation level, strengthen theoretical knowledge, animate teaching atmosphere. Conclusions Experimental design could arouse students' enthusiasm and initiative to study, advocate them to think and ask.

Objective To optimize the extraction technology of perilla seeds oil from the oil cake of perilla seeds (OCPS) by using the contents of active fatty acids as evaluation standard. Methods The fatty acids were extracted from OCPS,the residue of perilla seeds after cold-press, by smashing tissue extraction (STE), the new technology selected through comparing with classical leaching extraction (LE), Soxhlet extraction (SE), ultrasonic extraction (UE), and supercritical-CO2 fluid extraction (SFE). For optimized condition of STE, orthogonal test was designed and completed. The contents of five fatty acids in extracted oil and OCPS were determined by GC. Results The optimized extraction parameters were smashing for 1.5 min under extraction power of 150 W and 1:6 of the material/solvent ratio. The contents of five fatty acids in the oils extracted by five techniques from OCPS and determined by GC were as follows:a-linolenic acid (41.12%-51.81%), linoleic acid (15.38%-16.43%), oleic acid (18.93%-27.28010), stearic acid (2.56%-4.01%), and palmitic acid (7.38%-10.77%). Conclusion The results show that STE is the most efficient technology with the highest yield (LE:0.57%; SE:1.03%; UE:0.61%; SFE:0.8(r; STE:1.17%) and shortest time (LE:720 min; SE:360 min; UE:30 min; SFE:120 min; STE:1.5 min) among five tested extraction technologies. It is fast reported using STE to extract herbal oil enriched with active fatty acids.

Objective:To compare of the effects of laparoscopic and open radical hysterectomy on the serum Interleukin-4(IL-4),interleukin-10 (IL-10),tumor Necrosis Factor-α (TNF-α) and Interferon-γ (IFN-γ) levels of Patients with Cervical Cancer.Methods:64 patients of cervical cancer who were treated from March 2014 to September 2016 in our hospital were selected as research objects.The patients were randomly divided into the abdominal cavity group and open group.The operative time,blood loss,postoperative ventilation time and the levels of IL-4,IL-10,TNF-a and IFN-γin serum before and after treatment were compared between the two groups.Results:The intraoperative blood loss and postoperative ventilation time were significantly lower or shorter in the abdominal cavity group than in the open group (P＜0.05).There was no statistically significant difference in the operation time between the two groups (P＞0.05).There were no significant differences in the levels of serum IL-4,IL-10,TNF-α and IFN-γ between the two groups before operation(P＞0.05);The serum IL-4 level was significantly lower than that of the open group during the operation (P＜0.05).There was no significant difference in the other three index between the other three groups and the laparotomy group (P＞0.05).The serum levels of IL-4,IL-10,TNF-α and IFN-γ in the abdominal cavity group were significantly lower than those of the laparotomy group on the 1 st and 7th day after operation(P＜0.05).Conclusion:Laparoscopic radical mastectomy in cervical intraoperative less blood loss and more secure.The effect of IL-4,IL-10,TNF-α and IFN-γin the postoperative patients was more obvious.Conducive to the recovery of patients after surgery.

Objective To investigate the effect of GATA-6 on endogenous carbon monoxide(CO) inhibited pulmonary vascular smooth muscle cells(PVSMCs) proliferation induced by platelet-derived growth factor(PDGF).Methods Tissue mass culture was done to get PVSMCs artery in SD rats.The PVSMCs were stimulated to proliferation by PDGF(20 ?g/L),and the 3 different concentrations of hemin[a substrate and inducer of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1)] add into the cultures to induce CO production.The PVSMC cell proli-feration was detected by 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazoly1)-2,5-diphenyl-2H-tetrazolium bromide(MTT) method,DNA synthesis was detected by thymidine incorporation,and GATA-6 mRNA expression was detected by reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR).Results CO inhibited the PVSMCs proliferation induced by PDGF in a dose-dependent and time-dependent manner.Hemin with high concentration markedly inhibited the proliferation and DNA synthesis of PVSMCs.After 2 hours with PDGF,the expression of(GATA-6) mRNA markedly down-regulated,and began returned after 6 hours.However,CO could reversed this down-regulation.Conclusions CO can inhibit the proliferation of PVSMCs induced by PDGF.PDGF can result in the expression of GATA-6 mRNA down-regulated;the down-regulation is reversed by CO.This study suggested that CO maybe inhibit PVSMCs proliferation by regulating expression of GATA-6.

Objective To investigate the expression of FHIT gene in the 60Co gamma-ray irradiated human lymphocytoblast(AHH-1) cell and the bystander effect cell,and to explore the function of FHIT gene in the bystander effect of ionizing radiation.Method Preparation of bystander effect cell model:after irradiated with different dose of 60Co gamma-ray(0,2,5 Gy),the directly irradiated AHH-1 ceils were collected immediately by centfifugation and co-cultivated with non-irradiated cells in Transwell.forming the bystander effect group P1.In addition,some culture media supernatant of direcfly irradiated cells were transfefred to the non- irradiated cells culture medium,forming the group P2.Then cells were collected at 0,6,12,and 24 h after irradiation and the total RNA and protein were extracted.RT-PcR and Western blot were performed to determine the FHIT mRNA and protein level.respectively.Flow cytometry assay and cell counting were conducted to detect the alteration of cell cycle and cell proliferation,respectively at 0,24 h after irradiation.Results The mRNA level of FHIT gene among control cells,directly irradiated cells and bystander cells showed no obvious difference. while the FHIT protein level of the directly irradiated ceils and bystander cells was siguificandy down-regulated compared with the control cells(F=102.45,P<0.001).Moreover,the directly irradiated cells and bystander cells showed significant G2 phase arrest and obviously inhibited the proliferation ability.Conclusions 2 and 5 Gy of 60Co γ-ray irradiated AHH-1 cells can result in down regulation of the FHIT protein expression,which suggests that FHIT gene is involved in the process of bvstander effect induced by irradiation.

This study aims to analyse the value of CODEHOP RT-PCR in the detection of Flavivirus. According to the amino acid sequences of polyproteins of different flaviviruses published in GenBank, a pair of primers was designed using the CODEHOP method. One-step RT-PCR was used to detect Japanese encephalitis virus strain JEV1201, Dengue virus strain JKD001, and yellow fever virus vaccine YV6161. BLAST analysis and phylogenetic analysis were performed after the RT-PCR products of nucleocapsid genes were sequenced. The results showed that this method could amplify Flavivirus specifically, and the size and sequence of the target fragment accorded with the anticipated result. JEV1201 had the highest homology to Japanese encephalitis virus strain YL2009-4/YC2009-3, belonging to the branch of the phylogenetic tree of Japanese encephalitis virus strains. JKD001 had the highest homology to Dengue virus strain DENV-2/ID/1022DN/1975, belonging to the branch of the phylogenetic tree of Dengue virus strains. YV6161 had the highest homology to Yellow fever virus strain 17D, belonging to the branch of the phylogenetic tree of Yellow fever virus strains. In conclusion, the method of CODEHOP RT-PCR can be effectively used to detect, identify, and phylogenetically analyse Flavivirus.
