In type 2 diabetic patients the f re quencies of point mutations 3316G→A and 3394T→C in mitochondrial DNA (mt DNA) were 3.9% (6/152) and 5.3% (8/152) respectively, which were significantly higher than those in normal controls and patients with coronary heart disease. This fi nding suggests that mtDNA 3316G→A and 3394T→G mutations are related to type 2 diabetes.

0.05).Conclusions:The incidence of CIN and especially high-grade CIN are higher in patients with positive high risk types of HPV-DNA than negative. HPV-DNA testing has significance in the diagnosis of cervical displasia;HPVDNA testing combined with pap smear and colposcopy can increase the diagnosis of cervical diaplasia.

Objective To investigate the change of surface molecules and cytokine expressions of dendritic cells (DC) stimulated with recombinant proteins Com1 and heat shock protein B (HspB) of Coxiella burnetii (Cb).MethodsThe DC cultured for 5 d were stimulated with 20 μg/mL recombinant protein Com1,20μg/mL HspB or 6 μg/mL E.coli lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Twentyfour hours later,the surface mature marker,CD83,and activation-associated markers of T lymphocytes,CD58,CD54,CD40,CD80 and CD86,and expression levels of interleukin (IL)-10 and IL-12 of DC were detected by fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS).Multiple comparisons were performed by using Student-Newman-Keuls test.ResultsCom1 could induce DC maturation efficiently in vitro.Human monocyte-derived DC exhibited significantly higher expression levels of surface molecules including CD83,CD54,CD58,CD80,CD86,and CD40,which were all ＞80％.CD83 expression induced by Com1 was similar with that induced by 1E.coli LPS,while CD54 and CD86 expressions were slightly higher than those induced by E.coli LPS,and expressions of other molecules were significantly higher than those induced by E.coli LPS (all P＜0.05).After Com1 stimulation,intracellular IL-12 level increased to 9 ％ from zero.HspB could not induce DC maturation in vitro.The intracellular IL-10 level was 6％ after HspB stimulation.DC pulsed with Com1 and HspB exhibited intracellular IL-12 level of zero and IL-10 level of ＜2％.Conclusion Com1 but not HspB can efficiently activate DC and Com1-activated DC can drive T cells toward Th1 cell development due to a high level of IL-12 production.

Objective To observe therapeutic effects of treating stroke hemiplegia with acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training. Methods 72 patients with stroke hemiplegia were randomly recruited into a control group and a treatment group, with 36 patients in each group. The treatment group was treated with acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training and the control group was treated with acupuncture exclusively. Both scalp acupuncture and body acupuncture were used in the process of treatment. Results There was statistical significance (P<0.01) between the two groups in functional rehabilitation of limbs and ADL score (P<0.01) . Conclusion The treatment of stroke hemiplegia with acupuncture combined with rehabilitation training is more effective than that of treating with acupuncture exclusively.

Objective To compare the prognosis effect of different Helicobacter pylori (Hp)eradication methods in patients with chronic gastritis.Methods One hundred and twenty patients with chronic gastritis diagnosed by gastroscopy and pathology examination were divided into sequential therapy group (36 cases),triple-combined therapy group (34 cases),Hp positive without eradication group (30cases) and Hp negative group (20 cases) according to the Hp infection status.All patients were followed up by gastroscopy,biopsy and rapid urease test before and after therapy.Results The Hp eradication rate in sequential therapy group was 94.44％ (34/36),in triple-combined therapy group was 73.53％ (25/34),and there was statistical difference (x2 =5.775,P =0.016).The symptoms scores and gastroscopy scores after therapy in the four groups were significantly lower than those before therapy,and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).The symptoms scores and gastroscopy scores after therapy in sequential therapy group were significantly lower than those in triple-combined therapy group,and there were statistical differences (P ＜0.05).The symptoms scores and gastroscopy scores after therapy in sequential therapy group,triple-combined therapy group and Hp negative group were significantly lower than those in Hp positive without eradication group [(0.84 ± 0.60),(1.34 ± 0.59),(1.49 ± 0.62) scores vs.(2.98 ± 0.54) scores,(0.47 ± 0.37),(0.83 ± 0.35),(0.96 ± 0.75) scores vs.(1.22 ± 0.40) scores],and there were statistical differences (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The Hp eradication rate of sequential therapy is higher than that of triple-combined therapy.The two therapy methods can both improve the symptoms score and gastroscopy score,but the symptoms after sequential therapy are relieved faster compared with triple-combined therapy.

Objective:To explore the predictive role of learning burnout on positive and negative mental in college students.Methods:By convenience sampling method,786 college students were selected.They were as-sessed with the Learning Burnout Scale of Undergraduates (LBUS;including three factors:dejection,improper be-havior and reduced personal accomplishment)to investigate the learning burnout,the Mental Health Continuum Short Form (adult version)(MHC-SF;reflecting positive mental health states:languishing,moderately mentally healthy and flourishing)to investigate positive mental health,and the General Health Questionnaire-28 (GHQ-28;dividing negative mental health levels:pathological one or not)to investigate negative mental health.Results:The total scores and three factors scores of LBUS were negatively correlated with MHC-SF scores (r = -0.48 --0.14,Ps <0.01).The total scores and sub-scores of dejection and improper behavior were positively correlated with GHQ-28 scores (r =0.14 -0.41,Ps <0.01 ).The results of discriminate analysis showed that the learning burnout could predict the positive mental health,the correct prediction rates of three mental health symptoms,lan- guishing,moderately mentally healthy and flourishing were 63.2%,51.2%,and 64.1%,respectively.The total forecast was at a rate of 56.4%,and three factors of learning burnout had the contribution to predict positive psy-chological health.Logistic regression analysis showed that learning burnout of undergraduates could positively pre-dict negative psychological health,the pathological and non-pathological rate of correct prediction were 67.5% and 55.9%,and the total correct prediction rate was 62.0%.Depression could positively predict negative mental health (OR =1.11).Conclusion:Learning burnout could effectively predict both positive and negative mental health in college students.

Objective To approach the effect of acrylonitrile (ACN) on the proliferation and differentiation of the lung fibroblasts of mice. Methods The purification and primary culture of the lung fibroblasts(LFb)of new born mice were conducted. The cells were treated with ACN added in the medium at the varying doses of 0.01, 0.5, 1.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0 and 200.0 ?g/ml. The cytomorphological methods were used, the protein, malonaldehyde (MDA) and the activity of superoxide dismutase (SOD) were determined. Results No inhibitted effect on the lung fibroblasts was observed at the doses of 0.01-10.0 ?g/ml. At the doses of 50.0-200.0 ?g/ml, acrylonitrile could inhibit the differentiation and proliferation of the cells, the volume of cells became small,the rate of cell clusters decreased, at the doses of 10.0-200.0 ?g/ml, the content of protein and the activity of SOD decreased, MDA content increased. Conclusion Acrylonitrile can inhibit the proliferation and differentiation of the lung fibroblasts in mice, protein synthesis inhibition and lipid peroxidation are considered as the related factors.

Objective To study the effects of puerarin on advanced glycation end products (AGEs) and expression of monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 (MCP-1) in diabetic rats. Methods The rats were randomly divided into normal control rats (CON rats), diabetic rats (DM rats), diabetic rats treated with aminoguanidine (AG rats), and diabetic rats treated with puerarin (PU rats). The diabetic rat model was induced by streptozotocin. The serum levels of AGEs and MCP-1 were quantified by fluorescence spectroscopy and ELISA respectively. Tissue sections with PAS staining and electronic microscopy were used for observation of the pathologic changes in renal tissues. Immunohistochemistry was applied to detect the expression of MCP-1 protein in renal cortex. Results Serum levels of AGEs and MCP-1 in DM rats were higher than those in PU rats and AG rats (both P

Objective To study the effects of static magnetic field (SMF) on development of rat embryonic spinal cord neurons. Methods Primary cultured embryonic spinal cord neurons of Wistar rat were exposed to 1.0, 10.0, 50.0, 100.0 and 200.0 mT static magnetic field. The morphological structure, cell's differentiation and proliferation of the embryonic spinal cord neurons were observed and the contents of MDA, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and protein contents in the neurons were determined. Results Static magnetic field at density of 50-200.0 mT could inhibit the differentiation and proliferation of the cells and the phenomena such as cell aggregation, detouchment of some cells, decrease of clone-formation rate and the size of the cells were observed. The contents of MDA in the cells were increased, while the activities of SOD and the level of protein were decreased. Conclusion Static magnetic field might damage the development of embryonic spinal cord neurons by enhancing the lipid peroxidation.
