It is a mature technology producing single-use syringes by polypropylene(PP). But the traditional sterilization process for single-use syringe pollutes the environment, and the residues endanger the health of users. Irradiation sterilization, instead of traditional sterilization process, is the developing trend. However, the traditional PP does not have the ability of radiation resistance. These methods can improve the radiation resistance ability of PP effectively by adding the stabilizer or floating agent. Toughening or temperature treatment can have the same function. Radiation-resistant PP is introduced in this paper. Furthermore, the developing trends for the materials are discussed.

Objective To construct 7 shRNA plasmids targeted to Gcn5 and to explore their role on histone acetylation in regulating MSCs differentiation into cardiomyocytes.Methods MSCs were isolated and passaged.Seven shRNA plasmids were constructed by pGenesil-1(4.9 kb) vector with GFP gene.MSCs were treated with 10 ?mol/L 5-azacytidine respectively for 24 h,2,4 and 7 d and transfected with the plasmids via lipofectamine~(TM)2000.Gcn5,as the marker of the acetylation,and GATA4,as the marker of cardiomyocytes,were detected in MSCs during differentiation with or without shRNA plasmids transfection by RT-PCR.Results MSCs were fibroblast-like but changed morphologically after induction.Seven Gcn5 shRNA plasmids were constructed and identified by restriction endonucleases PstⅠ/SalⅠand DNA sequencing.The expression of Gcn5 and GATA4 could be detected in MSCs without shRNA plasmids tranfection,but no expression after shRNA plasmids transfection.Conclusion Gcn5 plays a very important role in MSCs differentiation into cardiomyocytes,which lays the basis for further research of the importance of acetylation in the regulation of cell differentiation.

? AIM: To investigate the immunosuppression of artemisinin in the early-phase response( EPR) of allergic conjunctivitis in a murine model induced by pollen.?METHODS:Twenty-five Balb/c mice were divided into five groups at random: A: model group, B: artemisinin topical treatment group, C: oral artemisinin group, D:dexamethasone topical treatment group, E: negative control group. Balb/c mice were first sensitized with mixture of ragweed crude extract and complete Freund’s adjuvant by left footpad and root of tails injection at days 0. At days 7 and 14, mice were strengthen sensitized by intraperitoneal injection. Negative control group replacd with a mixture of equal amounts of Freund’s adjuvant and PBS mixture. Treatment time was between 21-27d:group B received 1% topical artemisinin eye drops 4 times per day; group C received artemisinin at doses of 600mg/kg orally once per day; group D received topical dexamethasone eye drops 4 times per day. The model and naive groups replaced with solvent for control. After treatment, mice were excited by ragweed pollen crude infusion drops. Within 1h after the excitation, the eyes were taken for histopathology testing, the serum for detection of specific IgE for ragweed pollen.?RESULTS:After excitation, allergy symptoms of model group were more significantly compared with negative control group and the treatment groups; allergy symptom score, mast cell degranulation ratios and the ragweed pollen specific IgE in serum in the topical treatment groups and oral group were higher than that in the negative control group, but significantly lower than that in model group.?CONCLUSION: Artemisinin topical treatment and oral treatment for mice could inhibit the symptoms of pollen allergic conjunctivitis, early-phase response of mast cell degranulation ratio and specific IgE generation for ragweed pollen, suggesting that artemisinin has some therapeutic effect for pollen allergic conjunctivitis.

Objective　To evaluate the effects of the excimer laser in situ keratomileusis (LASIK) for treatment of high myopia.Methods　LASIK was performed on 308 eyes of 186 patients who were followed up for one year. The patients were divided into two groups (group A and group B) according to preoperative diopters.Results　One year after surgery, in group A(-6.0～-10.0D) the uncorrected visual acuities of 0.5 and 1.0 were in 95.76% and 77.58% of the eyes, the mean residual refraction was -0.32D±0.46D. In group B(-10.25～-20.0D) the uncorrected visual acuities of 0.5 and 1.0 were in 62.24% and 37.06% of the eyes, the mean residual refraction was -0.92D±1.13D.Conclusion　It is an effective and safe refraction surgery to correct high myopia with LASIK.

The imported schistosomiasis cases in the Chinese literature and reports from the infectious disease monitoring in-formation system from 1979 to 2013 were collected and compiled. Totally 365 cases were reported to be infected with outside schis-tosomiasis, including 239 cases of schistosomiasis haematobia (74.0%) and 71 cases of schistosomiasis mansoni (22.0%), and 42 foreigners (11.5%) and 323 Chinese (88.5%). The infection areas involved 15 countries and regions in Africa. Totally 74.92%of pa-tients worked in the construction or geological prospecting in the wild field. According to the analysis of these cases, we found that the management system of prevention and control of imported schistosomiasis cases was not perfect including the high missing re-port rate, high misdiagnosis rate, and no standard diagnostic criteria. We suggest that all the levels of CDC or health administrative authorities should adopt the following relevant control measures to strengthen the imported schistosomiasis prevention and control in order to reduce the damage to the public health and the risk of the spread of African schistosomiasis in China:1. to establish and perfect the imported schistosomiasis monitoring and control system in China;2. to integrate the dynamic information platform of la-bor export and establish the comprehensive prevention and control management system of infectious diseases;3. to standardize the diagnosis and treatment of oversea imported schistosomiasis; 4. to strengthen the research on the transmission risk of imported schistosomiasis in the territory of China.

Despite the continuous improvement of cardiopulmonary bypass(CPB),renal dysfunction remains a frequent complication of cardiac surgery.Previous studies reported that the incidence of acute renal dysfunction following CPB was 7%-40%,while that of acute renal failure(ARF) was 1%-10%.In those who developed ARF,the prognosis was poor,with mortality of about 40%-80%.The present paper reviews the mechanism,risks and available preventive measures of acute renal injury following CPB.

Synthetic agonists of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptors-?(PPAR?) have an important role in the preclinical models of metabolic diseases.In the recent years,it has been demonstrated that PPAR? agonists can normalize blood lipids and reduce insulin resistance and adiposity in rodents and primates.PPAR? activation in the skeletal muscle regulates the oxidative capacity of the mitochondrial apparatus,switches fuel preference from glucose to fatty acids and reduces triacylglycerol storage.PPAR? agonists also reduce insulin levels in serum,increase the sensitivity of insulin and improve glucose-tolerance.The genetic polymorphism in PPAR? has been shown to be associated with blood lipids,obesity and type 2 diabetes.
