Objective To understand the health effects and indoor air pollution caused by house decoration in Shizuichan city, Ningxia province. Methods 67 households which were newly decorated were chosen in the different districts of the city. 15days, one month, two months, three months, five months, six months after the decoration finished, formaldehyde, ammonia, benzene, radon in the indoor air were monitored and the questionnaire investigation was conducted. Results After two months, ammonia concentration reached the national standard limit. After 15 days, one month, two months, the rates of exceed limit of formaldehyde were 74.62%, 65.15% and 65.67% respectively, after 3 months ( in June), it was 90.62% and after 6 months, it was 71.21%. After 6 months, benzene concentration decreased slowly. The prevalence rates of throat, eye stimulation, fatigue and so on increased as the pollutants level increased. Conclusion In the investigated city, 6 months after the decoration finished, the indoor air pollution was still serious, which indicates it is not safe to move into those newly decorated rooms, even if after 6 months.

Objective To assess the effects of survivin-specific siRNA on chemosensitivity of lung cancer cell A549 to paclitaxel in vitro.Methods For determining if survivin-specific siRNA could enhance the responsiveness of lung cancer to paclitaxel,human lung adenocarcinoma cell lines A549(p53 wild-type)were divided into four different treatment groups:control,survivin siRNA,paclitaxel and survivin siRNA+paclitaxel.The effects on cell proliferation,cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by MTT assay and flow cytometry,respectively.The protein expression levels of survivin,p21 and PARP were evaluated by Western blot experiments.Results Survivin-specific siRNA showed a augmenting effect on the chemosensitivity of different concentrations of paclitaxel(P

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of human papillomavirus type 16 (HPV16) infec?tion among women through health screenings in Tianjin urban area. Methods A total of 2 000 women from Tianjin urban area were recruited for this study, and potential risk factors were investigated by questionnaire as well as by collecting cervi?cal exfoliated cells from the participants. HPV type was examined using polymerase chain reaction and pyrosequencing tech?nology, then the risk factors of HPV16 infection were examined by chi square test and the multiple factor logistic regression analysis. Results Among those 2 000 women who received health screenings, a total of 271 cases were HPV positive (13.55%). HPV16 accounts for the most common human papillomavirus types (39.5%, 107/271) while HPV58 account for 15.13%(41/271)and HPV18 account for 9.59% (26/271). Factors related to HPV16 infection were investigated include smoking history, initial age of sex (>25 years old or not) , number of pregnancies (≥2 or not), number of sexual partners (≥2 or not) and contraception measures (condom or other ways) with χ2=6.268,8.540,4.951,7.123,6.053,5.019, respectively. (P < 0.05). Age, alcohol intake, education level and previous gynecologial examination did not differ significantly among HPV16 positive patients compared to those with negative HPV. Multiple factor Logistic regression model analysis showed that the independent factors were smoking history and initial age for sex(≤25 years old)(P<0.05). Conclusion HPV16 is the most common type of cervical infection among women in Tianjin urban area. Changing inappropriate sexual behavior and smoking cessation are effective measures to prevent HPV16 infection and reduce incidence of cervical cancer.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the role of PDCA cycle management on standardizing clinical use of atomization inhala-tion drug. METHODS:Using a retrospective method,300 medical records of atomization inhalation drug use were collected from our hospital during Jan.-Dec. in 2013(non-intervention group),200 medical records collected during Apr.-Jun. in 2014(one cycle intervention group),and 180 medical records collected during Oct.-Dec. in 2014(two rounds of cycle intervention group). The use of atomization inhalation drugs was compared before and after the application of PDCA cycle management. Before and after two cy-cle intervention,4 types of medical staff were investigated on cognition of the related knowledge of atomization inhalation drugs, as physicians,pharmacists,nurses and mechanic. RESULTS:After two rounds of PDCA cycle management and intervention,the proportion of unsuitable route of administration of antibiotics,long acting glucocorticoid,non-atomization inhalation dosage form of resolving phlegm drugs,protease decreased from 54.0%,62.0%,59.7%,44.7% before intervention to 0.6%,1.1%,15.0%, 1.1% after intervention;those phenomena had not been found,such as unsuitable route of administration of TCM injection and non-atomization dosage form of theophyllines,unsuitable atomization frequence,unsuitable indication,drug mixture for preventing and controlling symptom,etc. The proportion of medical staffs being familiar with medical device,drug classification,drug selec-tion for prerention and treatment and the proportion of hospital drug stock to 93.4%,86.7%,92.4%,96.2% after intervention from 38.0%,79.0%,49.0%,39.5%before intervention. CONCLUSIONS:The application of PDCA cycle management can effec-tively regulate the use of atomization inhalation drugs in our hospital;the method can be promoted and applied.

OBEJECTIVE Gecko has been clinically used in China for many years. It has been proved that the gecko polypeptide mixture(GPM)extracted from gecko could inhibit the growth of multiple types of tumor cells.In order to investigate the possible anti-tumor molecular mechanisms of GPM,we used RNA-seq technology to identify the differentially expressed genes of human hepatocellular carci-noma(HCC)HepG2 cells treated with or without GPM.METHODS The HepG2 cells were treated with different concentration of GPM(0,0.1,0.2,0.3,0.4 mg·mL-1)for 6 h,12 h and 24 h,respectively.MTT assay was used to detect the viability of HepG2 cells. DAPI fluorescence staining was performed to observe nucleus morphological changes of HepG2 cells.Western blot analysis was applied to observe the expres-sion of apoptosis- related proteins and endoplasmic reticulum stress (ERs)-related proteins in HepG2 cells.Flow cytometry was also applied to detect reactive oxygen species(ROS)generation.In this report, we showed that GPM could induce HepG2 cells apoptosis and influence HepG2 cells proliferation in a dose-dependent manner.We applied many analysis methods,including differentially expressed genes analysis,Gene Ontology(GO)enrichment analysis,KEGG pathway enrichment analysis,protein-protein interaction network analysis to screen out possible molecular mechanisms.RESULTS ER-nucleus signaling pathway, cellular response to stress and apoptotic processes were identified the potential anti-cancer molecular biological process of GPM.GPM may also induce apoptosis in HepG2 cells via endoplasmic reticulum stress pathway. The GPM could induce ROS generation and up-regulate ERs-related proteins. CONCLUSION The present study revealed the potential anti-tumor mechanism of GPM.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHPT) in children is a rare condition,co-existing with vitamin D deficiency can lead to more diagnostic uncertainty.Here we report a case of a boy with PHPT complicated with vitamin D deficient rickets.The diagnosis and treatment of this patient was analyzed against literature review to summarize evidence-based clinical features of PHPT in children.We found that compared with adult PHPT,PHPT in children is associated with severer symptoms,higher serum calcium level,lower parathyroid hormone,preponderance of single adenoma in pathology,and higher cure rate of surgery.Co-existence of osteomalacia may induce reduction of the serum calcium level to the normal range,but cause more severe bone lesions.

Objective To explore the dynamic changes in apoptosis of polymorphonuclear neutrophil (PMN) during the course of seawater drowning-induced acute lung injury (SWD-ALI), and the possible roles of cytokines in the process. Methods Thirty-six NZ rabbits were randomly divided into 6 groups by using a random number table: control group (0h, as baseline value) and 5 seawater drowning groups (S1h, S3h, S6h, S12h and S24h). Blood gas analysis and hemogram were observed at different time points. The ratio of wet to dry lung weight (W/D) and lung permeability index (LPI) were calculated. The changes in PMN apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometer. The concentrations of tumor necrosis factor alpha (TNF-?), interleukin-1 (IL-1 ) and IL-10 in serum were detected by ELISA. Meanwhile, the pathological changes in lung tissue were examined with hematoxylin-eosin (HE) staining, and lung pathologic scores (LPS) were evaluated. Results The W/D ratio reached its peak value at 3h, while LPI at 6h. The histopathologic findings indicated that inflammatory cell infiltration was most massive at 6～12h. LPS increased at 1h, significantly higher than that of control group (P0.05). Conclusions The apoptosis of PMN, the main inflammatory effector cells, is significantly inhibited in the early stage of SWD-ALI. The serum cytokines, TNF-?, IL-1 and IL-10, play important roles in the pathogenesis of SWD-ALI, but have no evident effects on the inhibition of PMN apoptosis.

Aim To observe the effects of ketamine on Na+,K+-ATPase,Ca2+-ATPase and NOSase activity in different cerebral cortex in convulsive mice.Methods The mice were randomly divided into blank group,normal saline(NS) group and ketamine 25 mg?kg-1 (KetⅠ),50 mg?kg-1(KetⅡ) group. The animals of blank group were killed directly.Convulsion was induced by intraperitoneally(ip) strychnine(1.5 mg?kg-1) in other groups,and correspond drugs were administered ip before five minutes.Action variety of mice was observed. Animals were killed on 30 minutes after strychnine injection.The activity of Na+,K+-ATPase,Ca2+-ATPase,TNOSase and iNOSase were assessed by spestrophotometric analysis in different cere-bral cortex(forehead,parietal and occipital area).Results Ketamine group could decrease mortality completely. The duration of tonic state in KetⅡ group was significantly shorter than that in KetⅠgroup.Compared with blank group,Na+,K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATP ase activities were decreased in the group of NS and KetⅠ,and recovered normal level in the group of KetⅡ at parietal and occipital area. TNOS ase activity was decreased by 1/3 in KetⅡ group(P
