Liver ferritin of Sphyrna zygaena(SZLF) with purity of mass spectrum was prepared in batch. Under) the condition of acidifying medium at pH 1.0, PAGE showed that SZLF subunits treated for 20 min began) to dissociate. A whole process of subunit dissociation and recombination was monitored by transmission electron microscopy(TEM). In addition, the changes of size of both protein shell and iron core were also determined) by TEM directly. It was found that in the acid dissociation process of SZLF subunits, the size of iron) core and protein shell showed the same trend of change, which might be related to not only the iron release) of inner iron core but the dissociation and unfolding of the protein shell. The passway of SZLF recombination is a fast step, which is a conversion process from incompact moltenglobule to compact ferritin. Under the assistant of matrix acidity pH 3.0 and laser, SZLF mixed with horse spleen ferritin(HSF) still has capacity to release) its subunits to form subunit ions for mass analysis by a MALDI-TOF mass spectrometer, which indicates that the interaction intensity between the subunits was weaken but they were not unfolded under this pH condition. TEM technology can be applied in studying both dissociation and recombination in ferritin subunits.

OBJECTIVEThis study aimed to investigate the effects of different tooth preparations on the fracture strength and pattern of failure of teeth with severe wedge-shaped defect restored with post and core crowns.

METHODSAccording to whether the teeth above the wedge-shaped defect was removed (represented by B) or not (represented by A), the ferrule next to the wedge-shaped defect was prepared (represented by D) or not (represented by C), the cast post-and-core was chosen (represented by E) or glass-fiber post and resin core was chosen (represented by F). A total of 64 human mandibular premolar teeth were randomly divided into 8 groups: A1-1 (A + C + E), A1-2 (A + C + F), A2-1 (A + D + E), A2-2 (A + D + F), B1-1 (B + C + E), B1-2 (B + C + F), B2-1 (B + D + E), B2-2 (B + D + F), each group 8 teeth. All the teeth were prepared and restored accordingly and then mounted on an electronic pressure universal testing machine. The maximum fracture strength and the patterns of failure were recorded.

RESULTS1) The fracture strength of Group A1-1 > that of Group B1-1, Group A1-2 > Group B1-2, Group B2-1 > Group B1-1, and Group B2-1 > Group B2-2 with significant differences (P < 0.05). 2) The patterns of repairable fracture in Group A1-2 and B1-2 were both 37.5%, and that of the other groups were 0. Furthermore, the difference was significant, and Group A1-2 and B1-2 were higher than other groups.

CONCLUSIONThe maintenance of the overhang above the severe wedge-shaped defect aid in the improvement of the fracture strength of the tooth restored with post and core crown. The ferrule of the wedge-shaped defect is not recommended to be prepared. Furthermore, the glass-fiber post and resin core is favorable for the re-repair of the teeth than the cast post and core.

Objective To understand the epidemiological characteristics of syphilis in Songjiang District of Shanghai from 2007 to 2017, and provide evidence for further improvement in the prevention and control measures. Methods Descriptive analysis was performed on the syphilis case data in Songjiang District from 2007 to 2017. Results In 2007-2017, a total of 8 546 cases of syphilis were reported in Songjiang District, with an average annual incidence of 48.23/100 000.The overall incidence showed a U-shaped upward trend, with the highest incidence in 2016 (68.17/100 000);the average annual incidence decreased by 6.13/100 000 from 2007 to 2010, whereas increased by 5.64/100 000 from 2011 to 2017.Syphilis was characterized as follows:1) The epidemic was dominated by the cases with local household registration, latent syphilis (51.84%), reported in June-September, aged 20-59 years (81.24%).The cases in the age group over 60 years showed a significant upward trend.2) In the local syphilis cases, there were more men than women, and the sex ratio was 1.3 : 1 (especially the sex ratio in the stage 1 and stage 2 syphilis was 1.73 : 1).In the foreign cases from other provinces, there were less men than women, and the sex ratio was 0.6 : 1. 3) In the primary syphilis cases, there were more men (35.50%) than women (20.98%), while more female cases in the latent syphilis and secondary syphilis cases.Local primary and secondary cases were mainly in the age group of 30 to 59 years (59.06%).The cases from other provinces were mainly 20 to 49 years old (85.24%). Conclusion The incidence of syphilis in Songjiang District is increasing.As primary syphilis are more likely to be male and young adults, we should strength the surveillance, establish standardized diagnosis and treatment of syphilis, advocate sexually transmitted diseases prevention and treatment and safe sexual behavior, and also promote active screening in women and the elderly for further control of syphilis.

This paper aimed to study phenylpropanoids of Tripterygium hypoglaucum. Twenty-four compounds were isolated from the 70% EtOH extracts of T. hypoglaucum by silica gel column chromatography, reversed phase column chromatography, gel column chromatography, preparative thin layer chromatography, and semi-preparative high performance liquid chromatography. Compounds 1-3 were three new phenylpropionds. Their structures were identified by ultraviolet spectrum, infrared spectroscopy, high resolution electrospray ionization mass spectrometry, and nuclear magnetic resonance data as: threo-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenoxy)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-propanedol (1), erythro-2-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenoxy)-3-(4-hydroxy-3-methoxyphenyl)-1,3-propanediol (2), erythro-3-(4-hydroxy-3,5-dimethoxyphenyl)-3-ethoxypropane-1,2-propanediol (3). Compounds 4-6, 9, 14, 15, 18, 19, and 21-24 were obtained from Tripterygium genus for the first time. The cytotoxicity assay of cancer cells suggested that compound 20 displayed cytotoxicity on the breast cancer 4T1 cells whose 50% inhibitory concentration was 125.60 μmol·L^-1.

Objective To observe the effect of Weichangshu Capsule (WCSC) in inhibiting experimental gastric ulcer and the damage of gastric mucosa in SD rats. Methods The experimental gastric ulcer rat models were established by ligation of pylorus, water immersing method and subcutaneous injection of indometacin, and rat models with acute damage of gastric mucosa were induced by hydrochloric acid- ethanol (HAE).Then the effect of WCSC in inhibiting experimental gastric ulcer and the damage of gastric mucosa in SD rats were observed. Results WCSC had obviously inhibitory effects on stress gastric ulcer, indometacin- induced gastric ulcer and HAE- induced acute damage of gastric mucosa. WCSC also inhibited the secretion of gastric juice and increased pepsase activity. Conclusion WCSC has counteraction on experimental gastric ulcer.

Rutaecarpine (Rut) is a type of indole quinazoline alkaloid exracted from Ruticarpum. Studies showed that Rut has a wide range of pharmacological effects, such as anti-hypertension, anticancer, anti-inflammation, anti-thrombus formation. Currently, many scholars are committed to developing it into a new antihypertensive and anti-inflammatory drug with all new mechanisms. But studies found that Rut is a highly fat-soluble drug with low water and oil solubility. Its high insolubility is the main obstacle in its oral absorption and application, which greatly reduced its bioavailability. Therefore, hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin (HP-beta-CD) was used as the inclusion material to prepare Rut-HP-beta-CD inclusion complex in this experiment, in order to increase its water solubility and bioavailability. In this experiment, the inclusion complex was prepared by the stirring-freeze-dry method. The preparation process was optimized by the orthogonal test, with the inclusion rate as the index, and molar ratio between host and guest molecules, inclusion temperature, time and stirring speed as the impacting factors. Moreover, the inclusion complex was verified by detecting the apparent solubility, thin layer chromatography, microscopic identification, melting point detection and dissolution study. The results showed that under the conditions of the molar ratio between Rut and HP-beta-CD of 1: 1, temperature at 60 degrees C, inclusion time of 4h and stirring speed at 600 r x min(-1), the inclusion rate of Rut-HP-beta-CD reached 91.04%. Therefore, the preparation process of Rut-HP-beta-CD inclusion under the optimum conditions is simple and feasible, with a highest inclusion rate and reproducibility, and could significantly improve Rut's solubility and bioavailability, and provide a reliable experimental basis for its clinical application.
