0.01). A sig-nificant dose-reponse relationship was also found between the manganese exposure doses and the frequencies of mi-cronucleus and SCE in experimental group. Conclusion Lower exposure levels of manganese of ≤0.25?g/ ml were safe to genetic materials, but higher manganese exposure levels of ≥0.75?g/ml might cause different kinds of DNA damages.

Diabetic nephropapthy (DN) is a common cause of end-stage renal disease.Early diagnosis and treatment are significant for delaying the development of DN.Smad proteins mediate transforming growth factor β superfamily intracellular signal transduction.Recent studies have found that Smad1 protein plays an important role in the process of renal fibrosis.Urine Smad1 emerges in the early stage of DN,which is expected to be a non-invasive indicator in early diagnosis of DN.

Objective To study the burden of main earegivers of patients with stroke and its influ-encing factors, besides, the corresponding nursing countermeasures were disucssed. Methods 56 main caregivers of stroke families were selected to complete caregiver burden inventory (CBI). Results The general level of burden of main caregivers was in the moderate level with score value (1.55±0.35),factors influencing the burden of caregivers included ADL index, number of caregivers who involved in nursing and hospitalization times. Conclusions Nurses should educate the stroke patients about their rehabilitation systematically to decrease the severity of stroke sequela and readmission times, besides, they should strengthen their family support to reduce the burden of caregivers and increase their health status both physically and psychologically.

Objective To investigate the clinical results of immediate loading of a single anterior implant. Methods 26 implants were placed into anterior sites. Provisional prosthesis were placed at the time of fixture placement. It did not occlude in any pathway. Restoration was for esthetic only, not for function. Results No fixture was lost since the immediate restoration was delivered, the minimum being 12 months and the maximum 72 months. Conclusion Clinical studies on the placement of immediate restoration in anterior implant of maxilla have revealed predictable results.

Background and purpose: Oxymatrine, which is the main effective component of Sopkora flavescens Ait, has anti-fibrosis and antiviral activities, and also has a good effect on leukopenia after either chemotherapy or radiotherapy. Recent studies showed that oxymatrine has the abilities of anti-invasion and killing tumor cells in some degree, and as a supplementary anticancer drug in chemical therapy. In this study, we investigated the antitumor mechanism of oxymatrine by observing cell proliferation and VEGF expression in human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cell line. Methods: Human gastric cancer SGC-7901 cells was cultured in vitro and treated with oxymatrine, then cell proliferation was examined by the method of MTT. Immunohistochemistry was applied to examine the protein expression of VEGE The transcriptions of VEGF mRNA were demonstrated by RT-PCR technique.Results: Low-dose (0.5 mg/mL) oxymatrine has a mild inhibitory effect on cellular proliferation of SGC-7901 cells (P>0.05). When concentration exceeded 1 mg/mL, oxymatrine significantly inhibited cellular proliferation in a time-and concentration-dependent manner, and down-regulated the mRNA and protein expression of VEGF (P<0.05).Conclusion: Within a certain drug concentration, oxymatrine can inhibit the proliferation of SGC-7901 cells and play a potential role in inhibiting angiogenesis by down-regulating the expression of VEGF.

Objective A new Continous-monitoring. Methods Determinating adenosine desaminase was established,and its experiment conditions including pH,substract concentration et al,and methodological performance were investigated.In this study,Two reagents were used,reagent one including 6 mmol/L α-ketoglutarate acid,0.35 mmol/L NADH,0.8 mmol/L ADP,0.1 mmol/L EDTA-Na2,1000U/L glutaic dehydrogenase.Reagent two including 12 mmol/L adenosine.Results The linearity range of this method can reach 97 U/L,the variance within batch and between batch were 4.9% and 6.53% respectively.Correlation analysis showed there was significant correlation between ours and Berthelot′s method.Conclusion The continous-monitoring method is accurate,simple and easy to be used in clinic.

A management window model for patients with atrial fibrillation (AF) was established in Tilanqiao Community Health Service Center cooperated with tertiary hospitals.Patients were screened and treated in the community health service center,and a comprehensive management plan was conducted and patients were followed-up.A total of 105 patients with atrial fibrillation (97.2％) were effectively managed with an average follow-up of 10.6 months.The CHADS2 score ≥ 2 in 78 cases,including 11 cases with administration of warfarin (14.1％) and 26 cases with paroxysmal AF without transition to persistent atrial fibrillation.Compared to the data before management,the rate of taking aspirin and warfarin in managed patients was increased (all P ＜ 0.05),the international normalized ratio (INR) of patients receiving warfarin was improved (P ＜ 0.05) ; the ratio of receiving comprehensive treatment program,standardized treatment and health education were significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05) ; the awareness of the disease,treatment compliance and satisfaction of patients were improved significantly (all P ＜ 0.05).The results suggest that the management widow model is feasible and effective for management of patients with atrial fibrillation in community health service centers.
