This study was aimed to observe effects of different doses of D-galactosamine (D-GalN) plus lipopoly-saccharide (LPS) and blood coagulation changes among rat model of acute liver failure, in order to establish an ideal model of acute liver failure in rats. SD rats were randomly divided into the control group, D-GalN high, medium and low dose groups, with 10 rats in each group. Except the normal group, rats in other groups were injected with D-GalN plus LPS at different doses to induce acute liver failure. The mortality of rats was observed. The liver function and blood coagulation were detected from rat serum at 0 h, 12 h, 24 h, 48 h, and 72 h. HE stain was used in the observa-tion of changes on liver pathological changes. The results showed that the mortality of D-GalN high, medium and low dose groups within 72 h were 60%, 30%, 10%, respectively. There were significant differences on the serum content level of ALT, AST, TBIL, PT, INR, FIB from different dose groups at different time points and the normal group (P<0.05). However, the comparison among D-GalN high, medium and low dose groups showed no statistical difference on ALT and AST; while there were statistical differences on TBIL, PT, INR and FIB (P < 0.05). It was concluded that coagulation index was more stable in the liver failure model. Through observation on the liver function, blood coagulation and pathological morphology, the model of acute liver failure induced with medium dose of D-GalN plus LPS in SD rats at 48 h was more similar to the clinical symptom of acute liver failure. Therefore, the medium dose was the ideal model inducing dose.

The metabolism study of radiolabeled drugs plays an important role in the development of new drugs. It provides information on drug absorption, metabolism, tissue distribution and excretion, and plays an irreplaceable role in the metabolite safety evaluation and mass balance of new drugs. The new guidance draft on clinical trials of radiolabeled drugs recently released by the US FDA puts forward higher standards and has been widely concerned by the industry. In recent years, in the research and development of new drugs in China, ¹⁴C labeled drugs have been used to carry out clinical metabolism studies, which has overcome key technical bottlenecks and accumulated experience. This paper summarizes the above research progress, analyzes the existing problems, and preliminarily looks forward to the future technological development and application.

Background The incidence of myopia is increase.Some researches documented that formation of myopia is closely related with weakness of the accommodative response,enhancement of accommodative lag and accommodative microfluctuations in short-distance use of eyes.However,there still is controversy.Objective This study sought to compare the accommodative microfluctuations among emmetropic and myopic school-aged children at reading,and to discuss its potential relationship with the onset and development of myopia.Methods A casecontrolled study was designed.Eighty-nine children aged 8-12 years old were recruited in this study,including 47emmetropic children and 42 myopic children.Refractive error were checked by subjective refraction in phoropters and binocular vision and stereopsis were examined in all the subjects.A Grand Seiko WAM5500 auto-refractor was used to measure the accommodative responses and accommodative microfluctuations with different stimulus in 40 cm and 25 cm.The differences in accommodative response and accommodative microfluctuations at 25 cm and 40 cm reading distance were compared between the emmetropic children and myopic children using independent sample t test,and change of accommodative microfluctuations in myopic children at 25 cm and 40 cm reading distance was evaluated by paired t test.Results When the reading distance was 25 cm and 40 cm,the accommodative responses of emmetropes were (2.67 ±0.31) D and (1.70 ±0.23) D,and they were higher than (2.31 ± 0.33) D and (1.49 ±0.24) D of myopes,showing significant differences (t =5.330,P =0.000; t =4.140,P =0.000).Accommodative microfluctuation of myopes was(0.35 ±0.16)D in 25 cm reading distance and that of emmtropes was(0.26±0.08)D,with significant difference between them (t =3.180,P =0.002).However,there was not significant difference in accommodative microfluctuation at 40 cm reading distance between the myopic children and emmtropie children [(0.27±0.10) D vs.(0.24±0.09) D] (P=0.220).In myopic children,the accommodative microfluctuation at 25 cm reading distance was(0.35±0.16) D,showing a much increase than(0.27±0.10) D at 40 cm reading distance(t=3.850,P =0.000),but an insignificant difference in the accommodative mierofluctuations was seen between the 25 cm and 40 cm reading distance in the emmetropic children (P =0.145).Conclusions With the increased accommodative stimulus,myopic children present lower accommodative responses and larger accommodative microfluctuations.

Objective To study the induction of integrin molecules mediated by CYR61 in human peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC). Methods A recombinant expression plasmid containing full length of human CYR61 labeled with human IgG Fc fragment was constructed and identified by DNA sequencing.COS7 was used as host cell for identification of secretary CYR61 expression,confirmed by Western blot method.The commercial lipofectin was adopted for recombinant plasmid transfection into PBMC.Real-time PCR was ultilized to analyze expression patterns of CYR61 and integrin molecules in transfected PBMC. Results The insert sequence was correct in the recombinant plasmid.Western blot test showed that CYR61 protein secreted into culture supernatant or was in COS7 cytoplasm.The recombinant plasmid was transfected into PBMC stimulated with phytohemagglutinine(PHA) to induce CYR61 expression and secretion.The results demonstrated that exogenous CYR61 transcribed rapidly after being incubated with PHA and reached the peak after 24 h.But the expression dropped down quickly to a very low level after 48 h.Simultaneously,integrin molecules expressed just after CYR61 transcription.In the set of integrin molecules tested in the study,?v,?M,?3 and ?5 expression were higher than the other integrin molecules(P

Major depressive disorder (MDD) is a mental disorder with high prevalence,morbidity and recurrence rate.The treatment goal of acute stage is to achieve remission,which means asymptomatic.However,clinical treatments and studies found impairment of psychosocial functioning still exists even after remission,which means incomplete recovery.As is known,the normalization of psychosocial functioning is essential to the recovery and the recurrence prevention of MDD.In order to provide reference and guidance for the clinical treatments and studies,we reviewed the related studies and found many kinds of factors influencing the restoration of psychosocial functioning,including demographic factors,diseases related factors,psychological factors,social factors and therapeutic approaches.However,few interior studies focused on the recovery of MDD,and the results of foreign studies were inconsistent,while the understanding of how those factors influence the recovery of MDD is not clear enough.In order to make the characteristics of psychosocial functioning recovery and mechanisms of the influencing factors clear,more in-depth studies should be done in the future.

Objective To explore the in vitro spermostatic effects and the mechanisms of ceritinib,a novel candidate from the active compound pools previously screened for the regulation of sperm function.Methods The vigor sperm of human and mouse were incubated with ceritinib for 20seconds,and the sperm motility was evaluated by computer assistant sperm analysis (CASA).The integrity of the sperm plasma membrane and the survival ratio of sperm was assessed by hypo-osmotic swelling (HOS) assay and SYBR-14/PI staining.The damage of sperm plasma membrane was detected by electron microscope.The cytotoxicity of ceritinib to VK2/E6E7,End1/E6E7 and Ect1/E6E7 cells was measured by CCK-8 assay and fluorescent staining.Results The minimal effective concentration (MEC) of ceritinib to (5-10) × 106/mL human sperm within 20 seconds was (74.87 ± 31.46)μmol/L,which was significantly lower than the MEC of nonoxynol-9 (219.75 ± 20.89) μmol/L measured in the same condition.The time-dose related spermostatic effects of ceritinib were measured by CASA system.Ceritinib was able to damage sperm membrane and caused sperm death with HOS and SYBR-14/PI staining.With electron microscopy,the sperm membrane was observed to be ruptured,and the heads and tails of sperm were separated by ceritinib.Ceritinib was also able to damage the epithelial cells.Conclusions Ceritinib has acute spermostatic effects and potential contraceptive effects.

Objective To investigate the impact of surgical resection on patients with Ⅱ-Ⅲ A stage small cell lung carcinoma (SCLC). Method Data of 61 in-patients who diagnosed as Ⅱ-ⅢA stage SCLC from Jan 1st 2009 to Feb 1st 2014 were analyzed. 23 patients underwent surgical resections were enrolled as the treatment group, while 38 patients without surgical resection were enrolled as the control group. Disease progression was confirmed by monthly examination. The grouping is balanced by propensity score match. The progression-free survival (PFS) time and overall survival(OS) were analyzed with Kaplan-Meier survival method and Cox regression is applied to analyze the covariates. Fisher's exact test was applied to compare one-year survival rate and two-year survival rate. Results The PFS and OS of the treatment group is longer than that of the control group (P < 0.05). Both one-year and two-year survival rates of the treatment group outnumber those of the control group (P < 0.05). Cox regression indicates that surgical resection is an independent prognostic factor (P < 0.05). Conclusion Surgical resection on tolerable patients with stage Ⅱ-Ⅲ A small-cell lung carcinoma is effective on improving the progression-free survival time,one-year and two-year survival rates,and also shows a propensity of a higher overall survival time.

Objective To investigate the consistency in 18F-deoxyglucose positron emission tomography (18F-FDG PET-CT) examination and histopathological analyses in the diagnoses of resectable lung tumors. Methods Retrospective reviews over the clinical data of lung tumor patients by preoperative PET-CT diagnosis and postoperative histopathological diagnosis were conducted to investigate the effects of the two diagnostic methods in terms of lung tumor properties , mediastinal lymph node metastasis , and pulmonary hilar lymph node metastasis. Results The diagnoses by preoperative PET-CT was consistent in differentiation of non-malignancy and malignancy of pathologic lung tumors by 87.3%, at a medium level (κ = 0.401, P < 0.001). McNemar test showed P = 0.508, indicating the two diagnostic methods were insignificantly different in the diagnosis of pulmonary tumors. The preoperative PET-CT was consistent in the diagnosis of the metastasis of pathologic mediastinal lymph node by 85.9%, at a medium level (κ = 0.697, P < 0.001). McNemar test showed P =0.754, indicating no significant difference between the diagnostic methods. The preoperative PET-CT was consistent with postoperative pathological examinations in the differentiations of the metastasis of pulmonary and hilar lymph node by 77.4%, at a medium level (κ=0.523, P < 0.001). McNemar test showed P = 0.454, indicating the two diagnostic methods were no significantly different. Conclusion Preoperative PET-CT and histopathologic examinations may be consistent in lung tumor diagnosis , which provides a basis for a certain significance in the surgical options.

Objective: To explore the relationship between adolescent knowledge-attitude-practice (KAP), peer attachment and psychological resilience, and the moderating role of peer attachment in the relationship between adolescent KAP and psychological resilience. Methods: A stratified cluster sampling method was conducted, involving 5 105 subjects who were investigated by self-designed Adolescent KAP Questionnaire, Inventory of Peer Attachment and Resilience Scale for Chinese Adolescents. Statistical analysis and inference were performed using analysis of variance, t test, Pearson correlation analysis, hierarchical regression analysis and simple slope analysis. Results: The scores of target concentration, emotional control, positive cognition, family support and interpersonal assistance were more than 3 points for adolescents. Adolescent KAP, trust and peer communication had a significant positive predictive effect on target concentration, emotional control, family support and interpersonal assistance (all P<0.05). Peer estrangement was negatively related to all dimensions of psychological resilience (all P<0.05). Communication (B=0.007, SE=0.003, P=0.026) and peer estrangement (B=-0.010, SE=0.003, P=0.000) had the moderating effect on the relationship between adolescent KAP and psychological resilience. Conclusion: Adolescents have relatively better psychological resilience. Adolescents with higher adolescent KAP and greater peer attachment have better psychological resilience. Similarly, peer communication and estrangement can regulate the effect of adolescent KAP on psychological resilience.
