Objective: To study the effect of vitamin A deficiency on lipid peroxidation and antioxidation system in rats. [WT5FZ]Methods: According to body weight, 33 Wistar male rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, A (Vitamin A complete deficiency group), B (Vitamin A low grade deficiency group), C (Vitamin A normal control group). The study lasted 84 days. The serum vitamin A, serum, liver and brain SOD activities, blood, liver and brain GSH Px activities, serum, liver and brain MDA were studied. Spin trapping techniques combined with ESR were used to capture and detect free radicals generated in liver. [WT5FZ]Results: In vitamin A completely deficient group and vitamin A low grade deficient group, SOD activities of serum, liver and brain, and the GSH Px activities of blood, liver and brain decreased significantly, while LPO contents of serum, liver and serum increased markedly, and typical free radicals peaks in liver were indicated by ESR spectra. [WT5FZ]Conclusion: Vitamin A deficiency results in decrease of antioxidation capacity and increase of lipid peroxidation.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the therapeutic effect of endoscopic full-thickness resection (EFTR) for gastric stromal tumors.MethodsA total of 33 patients with gastric stromal tumor orgination from deep muscularis propria layer received EFTR from January 2010 to July 2011.The effectiveness and safety of EFTR were compared with those of other 34 patients with gastric stromal tumor origination from muscularis propria layer who underwent endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD).ResultsExcept in 2 patients with lesions larger than 3.0 × 3.0 cm,EFTR was successful in others 31 patients,who recovered well and had no recurrence during the follow-up within 12 months.There were no significant differences in resection rate,incidence of complications,body temperature,white blood cell counts or recovery time between 2 procedures (P ＞ 0.05 ).However,the number of clips used in EFTR ( 7.0 ± 3.5 vs.4.9 ± 3.1,P =0.013 ) and postoperative fasting days (3.4 ± 1.5 vs.2.0 ± 1.0,P =0.001 ) were significantly higher than those of ESD procedures.ConclusionEFTR is effective and safe for gastric stromal tumors with no higher risk than ESD,but it is more complex technically.EFTR can be used as an expanding method of ESD in endoscopic treatment of gastric stromal tumors.

Objective To observe the effects of zinc-deficiency(ZD)on antioxidation system and repair of DNA damage and of hepatic cells by establishing an aging mice model induced with D-galactose. Methods Seventy 3-month-old male mice were divided randomly into 5 groups: normal young group, aging model group, aging+ZD group, aging+pair-fed group, aging+ZS group. The aging model were established with D-galactose (100mg/kg bw) by nap subcutaneous injection, while the young control group were injected with normal saline in the same way which lasted 30 days. Aging+ZD group and aging+ZS group were fed with ZD food(zinc 1.61?g/kg), others with normal food(zinc 50?g/kg). ZS food (zinc 100?g/kg)were given to aging+ZS group for the last 2 weeks in the course. On the 30 th day, all mice were killed by removing eyeballs and samples were collected immediately for later indexes detection. Results Compared with the aging control group, zinc contents and SOD activity of serum and liver decreased significantly, while MDA in the serum and liver and lipofuscin of liver increased much more in ZD mice. Comet assay also showed that the DNA damage of hepatic cells were more serious in aging ZD mice than in the control mice. The ratio of tail length/comet cell length in group ZD also increased significantly. However, moderate zinc supplement significantly improved all those indexes. Conclusions Zinc can affect the speed and degree of aging significantly. Zinc deficiency accelerates the aging progress; while moderate zinc supplement seems to be beneficial for retarding aging progress.

Objective:To investigate the blood lipid status and its variation regularity of a population of teaching staff in order to provide evidence for preventing hyperlipidemia.Method:Lipid indexes such as TC,Triglyceride(TG),LDL-C and HDL-C are inspected of a group of teaching staff over 40 years old in some certain university,and data statistics and analysis are conducted.Conclusion:Main behaviors of male and female teaching staff's hyperlipidemia are high TG and high LDL-C.Special focus should be put on blood lipid's variation level of middle aged males around 40 years old,periodical clinical monitoring should be done for female teaching staff over 50 years old.Medical information instruction on the prevention and control of high blood lipid should be strengthened in order to realize the unity of self control and social control.

Objective: To study the effects of zinc-deficiency(ZD)and zinc-supplement(ZS)on learning and memory in aging mice. Methods: Seventy 3-month-old male mice were divided randomly into 5 groups:normal young , aging model , aging+ZD, aging+pair-fed , aging+ZS . The aging model was established with D-galactose (100 mg/kg bw) by nape subcutaneous injection, while the young control group was injected with normal saline in the same way, which lasted 30 days. Aging+ZD and aging+ZS group were fed with ZD feed(zinc 1.61 mg/kg), others with normal feed(zinc 50 mg/kg). ZS feed(zinc 100 mg/kg)was given to aging+ZS for last 2 weeks. During the last week, the behavior tests were carried on. Finally the mice were all killed and samples were collected immediately for detection of indices . Results:Compared with the aging model group, ZD made serum zinc decrease significantly, the locomotor activity reduced and the ability of learning and memory weakened. Comet assay also showed that ZD induced DNA damage of cerebrum cells more serious in aging mice than the control. The ratio of tail length/comet cell length in Group ZD also increased significantly. However, moderate ZS could turn those indices better significantly. Conclusion: Zinc can ameliorate the learning and memory function of aging significantly. By reducing the function of DNA repair, ZD can act on learning and memory, while moderate ZS seems to be beneficial.

Based on information entropy theory, this study analyzes the experimental indicators of glucocorticoid-induced traditional Chinese medicine yang deficiency or yin deficiency syndrome in animal models, thus laying the foundation of defining and interpreting the model state.

Hydrocortisone-induced yang-deficiency animal model has now become the generally accepted model of yang deficiency. However, assessing the most appropriate dose of hydrocortisone is a long-term challenge. For analyzing the modeling dose, the authors have built several kinds of yang-deficiency models induced by hydrocortisone at different doses, and analyzed the experimental data with various mathematical statistical methods. In order to discuss the effects of the modeling dose on the basis of previous research, the authors introduced Ridit analysis.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the application of vitamins in parenteral nutrition (PN) prescription,and to provide reference for rational use of vitamins in PN. METHODS:Usingparenteral nutritionintravenous nutritionprescription analy-sisrational drug useanalysis of medical orderas keywords,the literatures about the rationality analysis of PN prescriptions were retrieved from CNKI and Wanfang database during 2006-2015,and the utilization of vitamin included in literatures were ana-lyzed and summarized. RESULTS:A total of 34 literatures were included. There were 158874 prescriptions,among which vitamin was used in 145400 prescriptions (91.52%). 12 or 13 kinds of vitamin were used in 73508 prescriptions (46.27%);over-dose drug use was found in 53388 prescriptions(33.60%),and vitamin was not completely added into 18504 prescriptions(11.65%);no vitamin was added into 1663 prescriptions (1.05%). The proportion of the prescriptions including 12 or 13 kinds of vitamin was the highest in northern China (52.00%). 12 or 13 kinds of vitamin were added into the prescriptions and the author believed that the proportion of excessive use of vitamin,incomplete addition of water-soluble vitamin and fat-soluble vitamin in class three grade A hospitals were all lower than hospitals below class three grade A. The prescriptions including 12 or 13 kinds of necessary vi-tamin were adopted in oncology department(97.72%),internal medicine department(86.62%),intensive care unit(77.99%)and surgery department(52.83%). CONCLUSIONS:The standardized use of vitamin PN prescriptions occupies low proportion in Chi-na. It is necessary to enhance the conception that multiple recommended vitamins should be added into PN.

The properties of Chinese materia medica are believed to be the summarization of the effects of biological performance on the various body states. Systemic discussion of chemical-factor elements, body-condition elements, biological-performance elements and their interrelationships is needed for research into the properties of Chinese materia medica. Following the practical characteristics of Chinese medicine, the three-element mathematical model was formed by introducing some mathematical concepts and methods and was used to study the cold or hot property of Chinese medicine, and to investigate the difference in biological performances of the two properties.
