Objective To investigate the effects of oral glucose-electrolyte solution (GES) on resuscitation of hemorrhagic shock induced by 40% blood volume loss in rats. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into three groups; oral GES without hemorrhagic shock (GES group, n = 16) , hemorrhage shock without fluid resuscitation (HS group, n = 20) and hemorrhagic shock resuscitated with oral GES (HS + GES group, n = 20). About 40% of total blood volume was bled from carotid artery of rats to produce a model of hemorrhagic shock. GES with a volume of three times of blood loss was given three times intragastrically at 0.5, 1 and 6 hours after hemorrhage. Mean arterial pressure (MAP) was measured constantly. Blood flow in liver, kidney, stomach and small intestines, and parameters like hemato-crit, plasma osmotic pressure, alanine aminotransferase (ALT) , creatinine (Cr) and diamine oxidase (DAO) were determined 24 hours after hemorrhage. Survival rates of the rats in three groups were calculated 24 hours after hemorrhage. Results MAPs of HS + GES group were 9. 7% and 10. 9% higher than those of HS group 4 and 24 hours after hemorrhage (P < 0. 05). The blood flow of liver, stomach and small intestines in HS + GES group were 18.6% , 88.4% and 22.0% respectively, higher than those in HS group(P <0.05 or P <0.01) 24 hours after hemorrhage. The hematocrit level of HS + GES group was significantly lower than that of HS group, while the levels of ALT, Cr and DAO in HS + GES group were significantly lower than those in HS group (P <0.01). The survival rate of rats in HS + GES group was 80% , which was significantly higher than 30% in HS group (P <0.01). Conclusions Oral rehydration can significantly improve MAP and tissue perfusion, maintain blood volume and plasma osmotic pressure, alleviate organ damage and hence promote the survival rates of rats with hemorrhagic shock.

One step dot-ELISA method for the rapid determination of ABO blood groups in humam body fluids(or stains)was established using enzyme-labelled anti-A,--B and anti--H monoclonal antibody (McAb).The sample was applied on the nitrocellulose membrance as a dot. After washing, the appropriate McAb wasadded on top of the dot, and then followed by adding 3, 3'-diaminobenzidine(DAB). The brown color indi-cated the positive reaction. The ABO blood typing of 521 saliva samples including both secretor and non-se-cretor were carried out. All the results were correct. The advantages of this method are accurate, sensitive,rapid, easy to perform, as well as not time consuming. It is more sensitive than the conventional hemaggluti-naton inhibition test.

Objective To analyze the relationship between baseline serum γ?glutamyltransferase (GGT) and risk of the metabolic syndrome (MS). Method A total of 4 935 adults from health checkup population in Shenzhen were enrolled into a 10?year follow?up study, of these adults 81.84%were male and 18.16% were female, the average age was 60.54 ± 10.38 years.The follow?up outcome measure was the occurrence of MS. The proportional hazards model was adopted to calculate the hazard ratios (HR) and 95%confidence intervals (95%CI) to analyze the association of GGT with the development of MS. Reslut The mean follow up period was 5.0 ± 2.9 years, and there were 24 713 person?years of follow?up, and 1 689 subjects developed MS. During the follow?up, the cumulative incidence and incidence density of MS were 34.22%and 68.34/1 000 person?years, respectively. For both genders, the association between GGT and MS presented dose?response relationship trend (male: M?C χ2=32.78, P<0.001; female: M?C χ2=18.80, P<0.001). After adjusting for age, gender, body mass index, systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, high?density lipoprotein cholesterol, low?density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglycerides, uric acid and fasting blood glucose in Cox regression model, the HR for MS in quartiles 3 and 4 level of GGT was 1.45 (95%CI:1.08-1.85) and 1.52 (95%CI:1.15-1.99), respectively. Conclusion The GGT level could be an important risk factor and predictor for the development of MS.

BACKGROUND:Cervical cancer is one of the most frequent malignancies in women worldwide, and its occurrence and development is closely related to cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2).OBJECTIVE: To examine the expression of COX-2 alternative splicing variants in human cervical carcinoma tissue and understand its possible implications.DESIGN: Non-randomized controlled experiment.SETTING: Key Laboratory of Biochemistry and Molecular Pharmacology,Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, First Affiliated Hospital,Chongqing Medical University.PARTICIPANTS: Carcinoma tissue and normal tissue were obtained from 13 cervical carcinoma patients admitted during March 2002 to April 2002in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology, First Affiliated Hospital,Chongqing Medical University.METHODS: A pair of specific primers were designed for reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) to obtain the mRNA of COX-2 in human cervical carcinoma tissues. The resultant band on electrophoresis was cloned, sequenced and analyzed.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: ① Agarose gel electrophoresis result of the PCR product of carcinoma and normal tissues; ② Sequencing result of the electrophoresis band from carcinoma and normal tissues.RESULTS: No COX-2 band (252 bp) was found in electrophoresis for normal tissues, while 2 bands appeared for cervical carcinoma tissues, including a new electrophoresis band of 534bp besides the COX-2 band. Cloning and sequencing revealed that this new band contained not only exons 7and 8 of COX-2 gene but also a reserved intron of 282 bp intron between exons 7 and 8. Analysis of the predicted amino acid sequence indicated that an in-frame stop codon occurred in the 48-50 bp of the intron retained in the mRNA.CONCLUSION: The presence of COX-2 alternative splicing mRNA variant (Genbank accession number:BU493602)is confirmed in human cervical carcinoma tissue, which codes for a protein possibly smaller than COX-2.

Objective:To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of amnestic mild cognitive impairment of rural elderly in Guizhou province, which aims to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of cognitive impairment in the elderly.Methods:Adopting a multi-stage cluster sampling method, a total of 1 535 rural Han and Bouyei elderly people aged 60 and above were selected from Guiyang city and Qiannan prefecture in Guizhou province as the survey subjects for the current situation survey, including demographic sociological characteristics, such as social was utilized behavior, social behavior disease history, height and weight and so on.Mini-mental state examination was utilized to measure cognitive function and SPSS 26.0 statistical software was used to perform χ 2 inspection and multivariate unconditional Logistics regression analysis to calculate odds ratio ( OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI). Results:A total of 242 elderly patients with aMCI were detected (15.8%). The results of univariate analysis showed that ethnicity(χ 2=4.333, P<0.05), gender(χ 2=18.367, P<0.01), marital status(χ 2=9.721, P<0.01), occupation(χ 2=7.786, P<0.01), annual family income(χ 2=28.085, P<0.01), current smoking(χ 2=11.873, P<0.01), specific hobbies(χ 2=25.968, P<0.01), physical exercise(χ 2=11.871, P<0.01), living style(χ 2=13.190, P<0.01), and activity participation(χ 2=13.004, P<0.01) all had an impact on aMCI. Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that Bouyei nationality( P<0.05, β=0.288, OR=1.333, 95% CI=1.002-1.775) and the women( P<0.05, β=0.516, OR=1.676, 95% CI=1.233-2.278)were risk factors for aMCI, and high annual family income( P<0.05, β=-0.839, OR=0.432, 95% CI=0.308-0.606), specific hobbies( P<0.05, β=-0.580, OR=0.560, 95% CI= 0.394-0.795), physical exercise( P<0.05, β=-0.410, OR=0.664, 95% CI=0.493-0.894), participation in activities( P<0.05, β=-0.424, OR=0.654, 95% CI=0.488-0.877), and non-living alone( P<0.05, β=-0.563, OR=0.569, 95% CI= 0.374-0.866) were the protective factors.Comparison of the prevalence of the disease between the Han and Bouyei nationalities, the detection rate of aMCI for the Bouyei elderly (18.0%) was higher than that of the Han (14.1%) (χ 2=4.333, P<0.05). After stratification according to gender, family annual income, specific hobbies, physical exercise, participation in activities and living style, the detection rate of elderly female subjects of Bouyei nationality was higher than that of Han nationality, whose difference was statistically significant (χ 2=5.562, P<0.05). The detection rate of Bouyei elderly was higher than that of Han when the annual household income was less than 30 000, and the difference was statistically significant (χ 2=8.570, P<0.01). Conclusion:The incidence of aMCI among the elderly of Bouyei nationality is higher, and the incidence of aMCI among females is higher than that of males, which should be paid more attention to.It is of vital importance to strengthen health education and publicity, guide the formation of knowledge-belief-behavior health-related behavior patterns, so as to improve the quality of life and reduce the risk of cognitive impairment.

In this paper, the chloroplast psbK-psbI intergenic spacers of 18 species of Dendrobium and their adulterants were amplified and sequenced, and then the sequence characteristics were analyzed. The sequence lengths of chloroplast psbK-psbI regions of Dendrobium ranged from 474 to 513 bp and the GC contents were 25.4%-27.6%. The variable sites were 71 while the informative sites were 46. The inter-specific genetic distances calculated by Kimura 2-parameter (K2P) of Dendrobium were 0.006 1-0.058 1, with an average of 0.028 4. The K2P genetic distances between Dendrobium species and Bulbophyllum odoratissimum were 0.093 2-0.120 4. The NJ tree showed that the Dendrobium species can be easily differentiated from each other and 6 samples of the inspected Dendrobium species were identified successfully through sequencing the psbK-psbI intergenic spacer. Therefore, the chloroplast psbK-psbI intergenic spacer can be used as a candidate marker to identify Dendrobium species and its adulterants.
