Oviparous rate of undomesticated Gekko gecko Linnaeus is low. After artificial breeding,it is possible to increase its oviparous rate by 26.9%~38.6% and hatching rate by 6.5%~ 10.5% after adjusting the feed formulation, with careful management and matching at a ratio of four female to one male

Aim Tostudytheanalgesiceffectofoxyso-phoridine (OSR)on GABA transporter-1 (GAT-1 )mR-NA expression and its influence on GAT-1 expression inmice.Methods Formalintestwasusedtodetectthe analgesic effect of OSR(iv).Immunohistochemis-try was taken to inspect the expression of GAT-1 in cerebral cortex and thalamus in mouse brain. The quantitative real-time PCR method was used to inspect the influence of OSR on GAT-1 mRNA expression of braininmice.Results OSR(500,250,125mg· kg-1 ,iv ) could significantly increase the foot-licking latency.OSR(500 mg·kg-1,ip)could significantly decrease the number of GAT-1 immuopositive cells incerebral cortex and thalamus in mouse brain,and re-duce GAT-1 mRNA expression in brain(P<0. 01,P<0.05)intheformalintest.Conclusion OSRhasa significant analgesic effect,and its analgesic mecha-nism is related to the GAT-1 expression in mouse brain.

Aim To study the analgesic action of oxysophoridine and its effect on the expression of protein kinase C?(PKC?) in dorsal horn of spinal cord(it should be expressed as in dorsal horn of the spinal),cerebral cortex and thalamus of the mice.Methods Hot plate test was used to observe and analyze the analgesic strength and action position of OSR through iv and icv approaches,immunohistochemistry(SABC) was taken to inspect the expression of PKC? in dorsal horn of spinal cord(it should be expressed as in dorsal horn of the spinal),cerebral cortex and thalamus of the mice after administrating OSR.Results The foot-licking latencies of mice were prolonged both iv OSR(500、250、125 mg?kg-1)and icv OSR(100,50,25 mg?kg-1)in the hot plate test(P

In view of the problems existing in the educational philosophy of medical colleges in China, such as the separation of humanistic knowledge and medical knowledge, the small amount of humanities courses in curriculum arrangement, and the monotonous and boring teaching method of outdated teaching content, this study attempts to optimize the curriculum and increase the proportion of humanities courses; update teaching methods to allow new technologies and new ideas to activate the classroom; strengthen the application of humanistic knowledge in practice according to the characteristics of surgery teaching, so that students can experience humanistic quality education in a real environment; create a good atmosphere for the cultivation of humanistic quality of surgeons, so that students can always feel the edification of humanistic spirit.

Objective To understand the clinical characteristics of traumatic brain injury (TBI) patients and provide fundamental data for reducing the incidence of TBI and improving its treatment efficacy.Methods Medical histories of TBI inpatients from January 2011 to December 2016 were collected from the TBI database of Neurosurgical Department at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital.Information including gender,age,causes of TBI,injury severity,sources of the inpatients,interval from injury to treatment,diagnosis,and treatment were analyzed retrospectively.Results A total of 2 368 TBI patients were enrolled,aged mainly 30-60 years.There were more male patients (n =1 741) than female patients (n =627) (2.78 ∶ 1),while the gender ratio was reversed among patients above 60 years old (2.09 ∶ 1) (P ＜ 0.05).Traffic accident (60.14％) remained the major cause of TBI,while the proportion of electric motorcycle accident was 17.35％,followed by fall from height (13.64％).The proportion of mild TBI patients from suburb counties was lower than that of patients from the six urban areas (P ＜ 0.05),while the proportion of heavy TBI patients from other provinces was higher than those of both urban and suburb counties (P ＜ 0.05).The average interval from injury to specialist treatment was 7.53 hours.Patients who received treatment within 3 hours had better improvement than those who were treated 3 hours after TBI (P ＜ 0.05).The main injuries were skull fracture (33.07％) and brain contusion (30.32％).A total of 783 patients (33.07％) underwent surgery,among which 693 patients received the most common procedure of craniotomy hematoma evacuation (including decompressive craniectomy).The improvement rate of patients with intracranial pressure monitoring was higher than those without intracranial pressure monitoring (P ＜ 0.05).The improvement rate of the surgery group was significantly higher than that of the non surgery group (P ＜0.05).Conclusions The ratio of elderly female TBI patients is on the rise;TBI presents an increase in traffic accidents;mild TBI patients choose to receive treatment in close hospitals while those with severe TBI choose comprehensive hospitals;and the interval from injury to treatment is long.The following strategies including improving the traffic facilities,strengthening the education of traffic safety on elderly females and pedestrians,and optimizing the TBI medical treatment process would reduce the incidence of TBI and improve the efficiency of treatment.

BACKGROUND: Invasive mucinous adenocarcinoma (IMA) was a rare and specific type of lung adenocarcinoma, which was often characterized by fewer lymphatic metastases. Therefore, it was difficult to evaluate the prognosis of these tumors based on the existing tumor-node-metastasis (TNM) staging. So, this study aimed to develop Nomograms to predict outcomes of patients with pathologic N0 in resected IMA. METHODS: According to the inclusion criteria and exclusion criteria, IMA patients with pathologic N0 in The Affiliated Lihuili Hospital of Ningbo University (training cohort, n=78) and Ningbo No.2 Hospital (validation cohort, n=66) were reviewed between July 2012 and May 2017. The prognostic value of the clinicopathological features in the training cohort was analyzed and prognostic prediction models were established, and the performances of models were evaluated. Finally, the validation cohort data was put in for external validation. RESULTS: Univariate analysis showed that pneumonic type, larger tumor size, mixed mucinous/non-mucinous component, and higher overall stage were significant influence factors of 5-year progression-free survival (PFS) and overall survival (OS). Multivariate analysis further indicated that type of imaging, tumor size, mucinous component were the independent prognostic factors for poor 5-year PFS and OS. Moreover, the 5-year PFS and OS rates were 62.82% and 75.64%, respectively. In subgroups, the survival analysis also showed that the pneumonic type and mixed mucinous/non-mucinous patients had significantly poorer 5-year PFS and OS compared with solitary type and pure mucinous patients, respectively. The C-index of Nomograms with 5-year PFS and OS were 0.815 (95%CI: 0.741-0.889) and 0.767 (95%CI: 0.669-0.865). The calibration curve and decision curve analysis (DCA) of both models showed good predictive performances in both cohorts. CONCLUSIONS The Nomograms based on clinicopathological characteristics in a certain extent, can be used as an effective prognostic tool for patients with pathologic N0 after IMA resection.
