AIM:To observe the characteristics of estrous cycle of female ICR mice and ovariectomized mice that had reached sexual maturity stage .METHODS:ICR mice were randomly divided into 3 groups, normal group, sham operation group and ovariectomized group .After ovariectomy and sham operating , at the 8th day, the mice were taken vagi-nal smears twice daily (09:00 and 16:00) for 12 consecutive days.The feature of vulva in the mice and vaginal smear cy-tology, occurrence rate of regular estrous cycle , duration of estrous cycle and each stage duration of estrous cycle were re -corded and observed .RESULTS:The characteristics of estrous cycle in normal group and sham operation group were simi-lar.Nearly 85%of the ICR mice in sexual maturity stage showed regular estrous cycle .The majority manifested 6-day cy-cle (83%), and only a small number exhibited 5-day cycle (17%).Compared with 5-day group, the duration of oestrus was significantly increased in 6-day group (P<0.05).The number and kind of the cells in vaginal smear were a little dif-ferent between 5-day and 6-day groups.The ovariectomized mice which showed irregular estrous cycle (76%) were charac-terized by continuous diestrus .CONCLUSION:Female ICR mice have the strain characteristics of estrus cycle .

Objective To investigate the relationship of plasma level of brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) in patients with essential hypertension. Methods The plasma level of BNP was measured with electrochemiluminescence immunoassay method in 32 hyper- tensive patients without left ventricular hypertrophy (LVH) (NLVH group), 30 patients with essen- tial hypertension with LVH (LVH group), and 30 healthy adults (control group). Doppler echocar- diography was employed to determine left ventrieular mass index (LVMI) and observe the correlation of plasma BNP level with LVMI. Results The plasma BNP level was significantly elevated in LVH group than that of NLVH group and control group (P<0.01). The plasma BNP level was significant- ly higher in NLVH group than that of control group (P<0.01). BNP level was positively correlated with LVMI in hypertensive patients with LVH (r= 0.64, P<0. 01). Conclusion BNP level may reflex the degree of left ventricular hypertrophy in patients with essential hypertension.

Objective To investigate the correlation between serum insulin,lipid expression substances and breast cancer.Methods From January to August 2002,blood samples were collected from 90 patients with breast cancer,40 patients with breast benign disease and 100 healthy control subjects in Shanxi Province People Hospital.Serum insulin was measured by ELISA,serum leptin was measured by radioimmunoassay (RIA) and serum lipid substances were measured by Biochemistry Auto-machine.Results The serum insulin,leptin and TG concentration were significantly higher,but the HDL level was significantly lower in breast cancer group than in the groups of breast benign disease and healthy control(P＜0.01,respectively);There was no statistically significant difference between postmenopausal and premenopausal women in patients with breast cancer and breast benign disease(P＞0.05);There was no statistically significant difference in serum insulin level between positive lymph node breast cancer and negative lymph node breast cancer(P=0.642);The relative risk (RR) of serum insulin level and body mass index(BMI) in breast cancer group was 0.164(P＞0.05).The increased serum insulin level was independent of diet and other known risk factors for breast cancer;Multiple logistic regression analyses observed a statistically significant association between serum insulin,leptin,TG and HDL levels and breast cancer,OR=1.120(95% CI:1.017～1.209),1.117(95% CI:1.046～1.193),OR=1.879(95% CI:1.148～3.076),OR=0.035 (95% CI:0.007～0.162),respectively.Conclusion The increased serum insulin,leptin and TG levels may be the risk factors of breast cancer.The increased serum HDL level maybe the protective factor of breast cancer.

OBJECTIVE:To discuss the effect of tanshinone Ⅱ A on the apoptosis of HeLa cell line and its mechanism.METHODS:MTT was used to measure the levels of the proliferation of HeLa cells cultured with tanshinone Ⅱ A in different concentrations.The apoptosis was measured by Hoechst33258 staining,and the level of mRNA of Bcl-2 and bax in HeLa cells was tested by semi-fix quantify RT-PCR method.RESULTS:Tanshinone Ⅱ A could inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells in a dose dependent manner,induce cell apoptosis,and markedly decrease the expression of Bcl-2 on mRNA level after treatment for 48h,while it had no obvious change in bax mRNA level.CONCLUSION:Tanshinone Ⅱ A can inhibit the proliferation of HeLa cells and induce the apoptosis of the cells.

microRNA with 22 nucleotides in length are a growing family of small non-coding RNA that function as post-transcriptional regulators of target genes in eukaryote.Recent study indicates that microRNA are closely related to the oncogenesis additional to its biological function in the regulation of cell proliferation,differentiation and death.This review proposes the progresses on the study of(microRNA,) including the biological character,biogenesis and function,and its relationship with cancer.

China launched the nationwide resident standardized training (residential training) project since 2013 and has trained a large number of general practitioners. The primary health care institutions and general practitioners have played an important role during the prevention and control of COVID-19 epidemic, which not only presented the remarkable effect of residential training project, but provided new ideas for the further training program of general practitioners. It is proposed in this paper that we should adjust the training and assessment priorities in the following aspects: highlight the characteristics of general practice in the future training, so as to train general practitioners with more comprehensive ability, such as strengthening the ability to deal with public health emergencies, strengthening the consciousness and capability of scientific research, and increasing the proportion of humanistic quality training; At the same time, we should enhance career attractiveness of general practitioners to keep the excellent general residents stay for their career;All mentioned above will further improve the overall quality of general practitioners, and enable them to better deal with public health emergencies.

ObjectiveTo study the value of serum phosphopyruvate hydratase PH protein for the diagnosis of cerebral injuries in patients with brain malignant tumor.MethodsSerum PH protein levels were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay in 56 patients with brain malignant tumor. Compare the differences among the status of cerebral injuries.And compare the differences among the patients with general with different radiotherapy methods 32 cases,three dimensional conformal radiothrapy 24 cases,and different peritumoral brain edema levels(cmild 18 cases, moderate ao cases severe 30 cases). Results Before radiotherapy the levels of serum PH protein in patients and the health control were (4.12±0.56),(4.66±0.62)μg/L,no significant differece(P＞0.05).And there was also no significant difference between the before and after radiotherapy for the cerebroma,the levels were(7.84±0.72) μg/L,(t=3.89,P=0.001 ).The PH levels of general radiation therapy and three dimensional comformal radiotherapy were (13.59±0.92),(6.14±0.52)μg/L.There was cignificant difference(P=0.002) After radiotherapy,The levels of serum PH protein of the different dropsical degree,mild,moderate and severe were(4.47:±0.55),(6.17±0.62),(15.21±0.86) μg/L, respectively,showing significant difference(F=15.61,P=0.0001).The therapies influenced the serum PH levels(P＜0.05)ConclusionHigh levels of serum PH protein are associated with severe cerebral injuries in brain malignant tumor.So high serum PH level may serve as an progressive predictor of the injury.
