The changes of zine content in serum and feces observed after intragastric administration of a certain dose of dithizone to the pregnant rats in their third trimester for one week, and the developing status of brain of their pups were studied. The result showed that the total fecal exerction of zine during 24 hours increased and serum zine content decreased significantly aftcr continual administration of dithizone for one week in maternal rats. It suggested that dithizone may be used for making animal model of zine deficiency. The body and brain weights, brain protein content and RNA/DNA ratio of the newborn delivered by the zine-deficiency maternal rats decrcased significantly. This indicates that the maternal zine dificiency in third trimester gives side effects on the development of their fctal brain.

A new UPLC method was developed for the simultaneous determination of eleven characteristic flavonoid glycosides in Ginkgo biloba leaves. The natural occurrence of flavonoid glycosides in Ginkgo biloba leaves within one vegetative season was investigated for the first time. The analysis was performed on an Agilent ZORBAX Eclipse Plus C18 column (50 mm x 4.6 mm, 1.8 microm), the mobile phase A was acetonitrile, the mobile phase B was 0.4% phosphate aqueous solution in a gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.6 mL x min(-1), the detection was carried out at 360 nm. The result showed that eleven flavonoid glycosides had good linearity with good average recovery, separately. The method was proved to be accurate, rapid and good reproducible for the quality evaluation of Ginkgo biloba leaves, and provide an easy and rapid means for the quantitative analysis of flavonoid glycosides and their content fluctuation with seasons.

Objective To discuss on the relationship among innovation,scientific nature and ethics in medical articles,in order to improve the academic quality of manuscripts.Methods Take Chinese Journal of Radiological Medicine and Protection as an example,innovation was emphasized in the field of radiation diagnosis and treatment,while the cases lack of innovation were pointed.However,the lessons from many papers showed that those papers only with innovation would be rejected because of defect in scientific nature and ethics.Results Innovation is the soul of the paper,and the scientific and ethical nature is the foundation and premise of innovation.Conclusions While the innovation is emphasized,the scientific nature and ethics of the thesis should be not ignored.These three aspects are integral.

Objective To explore the difference of the impact with different hydrosalpinx pretreatment methods in vitro fertiliza-tion-embryo transfer ﹝ IVF-ET ﹞.Methods 160 patients with routine IVF-ET’s hydrosalpinx were random divided into two groups :the first 80 patients undergoing routine bolt blocking the fallopian tubes for the study group;the other 80 patients with rou-tine salpingectomy as control group patients,after treatment,compare the difference on ovarian function between the two groups.Re-sults In the study group,although these difference,the average number of oocytes,fertilization rate,clinical pregnancy rate and other indicators,were not statistically significant (P>0.05),they were higher than the control group;early abortion rate was no significant difference either (P>0.05),but the tubal pregnancy rate was lower than the control group,and the difference was statis-tically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Tubal bolt blocking technique is an effective method for hydrosalpinx pretreatment,and partly superior than gynecological surgery for keeping ovarian function and IVF-ET treatment targets.So,it has a broad application prospects in vitro fertilization-embryo transfer.

Objective To investigate the correlation between the quantitative results,the semi-quantitative scores from ultrasound elastography and the distribution of myofibroblasts (MFS)in breast tumor,and to analyze the value of quantitative results and the semi-quantitative score from ultrasound elastography in the diagnosis of breast tumor.Methods Thirty eight patients with breast lesions underwent ultrasound elasticity examinations,tissue dispersion quantitative analysis technique was used to assess the 11 characteristic quantities and the corresponding strain ratios in all lesions,and the score of ultrasonic elastography was evaluated.38 cases were divided into benign and malignant group according to pathological diagnosis results.The expression levels of CD34 andα-SMA protein in breast tissue were examined by immunohistochemistry.The distribution patterns of MFS in breast tumor were analyzed. The correlation between the quantitative results, the semi-quantitative scores from ultrasound elastography and the distribution of MFS in breast tumor was studied.Results The expression level of CD34 in malignant group was significantly higher than that in benign group, while the expression level of α-SMA was significantly higher than that in benign group;the differences in the expression levels of CD34 andα-SMA between benign and malignant breast tumor patients were statistically significant (P < 0.01 ).The masses observed in malignant group by elastography were shown in blue,while most of the masses in benign group were shown in green.There were statistically significant differences between two groups in elastography scores (P < 0.05 ). There was a anegative correlation between the CD34 expression in tumor tissue and the score of ultrasound elastography (r=-0.423 7,P =0.027 3).There was a negative correlation between the CD34 expression and the score of ultrasound elastography (r=-0.423 7,P =0.027 3),while the positive correlation was found between theα-SMA expression and the score of ultrasound elastography (r=0.397 0,P =0.014 2).The CD34 expression was significantly correlated with the average relative strain value,entropy,area ratio of low-strain region,kurtosis, skewness and inverse difference moment (P <0.05).Among the 11 characteristics,CD34 was positively correlated with the average relative strain value (r=0.385 6,P =0.016 8)and entropy (r=0.380 5,P =0.018 5);CD34 was negatively correlated with area ratio of low-strain region (r = - 0.351 7,P = 0.030 4),kurtosis (r =-0.427 7,P =0.007 4),skewness (r=-0.394 6,P =0.014 2),inverse difference moment (r = -0.344 3, P =0.034 3),angular second moment (r = - 0.484 9,P = 0.002 0)and strain ration (r = - 0.379 0,P =0.047 5);CD34 was not correlated with standard deviation,complexity and contrast (P > 0.05).The α-SMA espression was positively correlated with kurtosis (r = 0.356 9,P = 0.027 8),skewness (r = 0.323 0,P =0.047 9),area ratio of low-strain region (r=0.382 0,P =0.021 6)and strain ratio (r=0.403 3,P =0.012 0). Conclusion The features and its scores of ultrasound elastography are correlated with the distribution of MFS in breast tumor,suggesting that the ultrasound elastography is very informative and helpful in the diagnosis of breast tumor.

Objective To investigate the effect of repetitive transcranial magnetic stimulation (rTMS) on the proliferation of neural stem cells in the subventricular zone (SVZ) and the expression of miR-9 in the ipsilesional hemisphere of rats with focal cerebral ischemia.Methods A rat model of acute focal cerebral ischemia was established using transient middle cerebral artery occlusion (tMCAO).Rats were then randomly assigned to a sham group,a control group or an rTMS group.Daily rTMS treatments (10 trains with 30 pulses per train and 50-second breaks between trains at 120％ of the resting motor threshold) were targeted at the ipsilesional MI cortex beginning one day after the tMCAO.After the treatment the proliferation of neural stem cells in the ipsilesional SVZ was identified by double immunofluorescence staining (BrdU/nestin).The expression of miR-9 was evaluated using quantitative PCR.Results Compared with the other two groups,BrdU + Nestin + cells in the ipsilesional SVZs of the rTMS group increased and the expression of miR-9 decreased significantly.Conclusion rTMS can promote the proliferation of neural stem cells and inhibit the expression of miR-9 in the ipsilesional hemisphere after focal cerebral ischemia.

Implant surface modified coating can improve its osteoinductivity, about which simple calcium phosphate coating has been extensively studied. But it has slow osteointegration speed and poor antibacterial property, while other metal ions added, such as nano zinc ion, can compensate for these deficiencies. This paper describes the incorporation form, the effect on physical and chemical properties of the material and the antibacterial property of nano zinc, and summarizes the material's biological property given by calcium ion, zinc ion and inorganic phosphate (Pi), mainly focusing on the influence of these three inorganic ions on osteoblast proliferation, differentiation, protein synthesis and matrix mineralization in order to present the positive function of zinc doped calcium phosphate in the field of bone formation.
