Objective To observe the effects of Dengzhan Shengmai capsule on β-amyloid protein (Aβ) deposition in the brain and learning and memory function in renovascular hypertensive rats (RHRSP).Methods Male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups (5 rats per group):normal group,shamoperated group,hypertension with Dengzhan Shengmai capsule treatment group and hypertension with normal saline (NS) treatment group.Renovascular hypertensive models were created by clipping two-kidney.Dengzhan Shengmai capsules were dissolved in sterile 0.9% NS and were administered (20 mg · kg-1 per day) by daily gavage for 4 weeks.In the NS group,hypertensive rats were given saline in the same volume.Immunofluorescent labeling and western blot were used to detect the expression of Aβ,NF-κB,IL-1β,TNF-α in the brain,respectively.Learning and memory function were detected by Morris water maze.Results RHRSP significantly increased Aβ deposition in the cerebral cortex and impaired memory function in rats.Dengzhan Shengmai capsule treatment significantly lowered the blood pressure compared with NS treatment((157.45±11.58) mmHgvs (197.76±10.12) mmHg).In addition,the levels of Aβ,NF-κB p65,IL-1β,TNF-α protein were significantly reduced,by Dengzhan Shengmai caspule treatment.The escape latency was shortened((24.64±4.57) s vs (37.17±3.87)s),while the frequency of passing through the platform quadrant(5.39±0.12 vs 3.05±0.28) and the dwell time((27.34±3.67) s vs (16.83±5.76)s) (all P<0.01) in the platform quadrant were significantly increased by Dengzhan Shengmai capsule treatment.Conclusions Dengzhan Shengmai capsule may reduce Aβ deposition in brain and improve learning and memory function by anti-inflammatory effects in RHRSP.

Objective: Using the property of (?-estrogen receptor, Fas/?-estrogen receptor fusion gene was constructed which can lead to hormone-induced apoptosis after transfected into glioma cells. Methods: The transmembrane domain, cytoplasmic domain of human Fas gene was fused with the HBD gene fragment of human (?-estrogen receptor by PCR and gene recombination techniques, and was then inserted into eukaryotic vector pcDNA3. Human glioma cells BT325 were transfected with the recombinant plasmid by lipofectamine-rnediated gene transfection. Results: After selection with C418 (or six weeks, transformants expressing the fusion gene were selected out and identified by Western blot. MTT detection showed that (?-estradiol had cytoxic effect on the transformants with IC_(50) of about 10~(-9) mol/L. DNA Ladder detection showed that the transformants could be effectively induced to apoptosis. Conclusion: Fas/?-estrogen receptor fusion gene transfected glioma cells can be induced to apoptosis in a tight estrogen indepent manner.

Grassroots organizations of the party function as the center to advocate voluntary services.The hospital volunteer service campaign is considered part of the party's work at the grassroots level and as an indicator of its branch appraisal.volunteer ambassadors are employed to serve as role model for volunteer services.Party branch guides volunteer service teams to carry out voluntary services.And students,retiree party members actively participate in the campaigr.Outstanding ones are awarded and the management is improved.All these measures enable these organizations to play a spearhead role,encouraging volunteers and party members to promote each other,promoting healthy development of the campaign,and making volunteer services sustainable.

Objective To summarize the clinical and imaging features of subarachnoid hemorrhage(SAH) and its complications and prognosis. Methods The clinical data of 502 cases of SAH were retrospectively analyzed and summarized. Results There were 84.3 % (423/496) patients sufferring from intense headache, dizziness or vertigo (13. 1%, 66/496 ), disturbance of consciousness ( 27. 5%, 138/496 ), partial neurologic impairment (58.2% ,292/496) ,meningeal irritation sign(72.5% ,364/496). The positive rate of digital subtraction angiogra-phy was 54.1% (93/172). Aneurysm was the common reason of SAH (20. 1%, 101/496). Prognosis in most pa-tients was better,but the old patients suffered from high mortality. Conclusions The cause and clinical manifesta-tion of SAH varies,cerebral angiography often could help find the cause of SAH. Most SAH patients recover well.

Objective To explore the status, characteristics and factors in relation to occupational stress for medical staffs in tertiary general hospitals. Methods A total of 2460 medical staff were sampled in five tertiary general hospitals in Beijing, with their occupational stress levels evaluated with the Occupational Stress Inventory. Results The top ten stressors as found ranked as heavy duty, high risk exposure, high workload, low wages, setbacks in the health care management system, insufficient staffing, excessively frequent inspections and examinations, strained doctor-patient relationship, price inflation, frequent overtime, and pressure from continuous learning. Occupational stress is seen as moderate and above by 95.2% of the surveyed. Differences in age, gender, marital status, professional title, education, work experience, as well as those of different organizations, departments, professions, and duty were found to be statistically significant in regard of professional stress. Conclusions Stress management should be in place targeting demographic and stress characteristics. Effective measures are recommended to alleviate the pressure on medical staff, in order to maintain their physical and mental health, hence improving their work efficiency and organizational cohesion.
