Many researches have shown that atmosphere pollution and meteorological factors are related closely. The relations between the particle concentration in atmosphere and meteorological factors including wind speed,wind direction,air pressure,temperature,humidity,precipitation and atmosphere stability vary in different researches. Taking into consideration the complexity of meteorological factors and the components and concentration index of particles,it is more reasonable to do multi-factor analysis. But the results of multi-factor analysis also show obvious diversity and complexity due to different research objects,methods and measuring indexes. Therefore,different models for the prediction of particle concentration are needed for the factors such as area,time and meteorological conditions always change.

BACKGROUND:Artificial cornea titanium scaffold has a higher complication rate in clinical usage; therefore, to seek a kind of artificial corneal scaffold with high biocompatibility is a hot spot.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the biocompatibility of the artificial cornea titanium scaffold with hydroxyapatite surface modification.
METHODS: Twenty-seven New Zealand white rabbits were enroled to make alkali burn models of the right cornea and then randomized into three groups: in experimental group, artificial cornea titanium scaffold with hydroxyapatite surface modification was implanted into the right eye; in control group, artificial cornea titanium scaffold was implanted into the right eye; in blank group, no scaffold was implanted into the right eye. At 2, 4, 16 weeks after implantation, the right corneas were taken out for pathological observation and scanning electron microscope observation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:At 16 weeks after implantation, there was no difference in the number of inflammatory cels and fibroblasts among the three groups. Over time, in the experimental group, the corneal tissues, fibrous tissues and adhered extracelular matrices were increased gradualy. In addition, the experimental group had more adherent corneal tissues, extracelular matrices and better tissue healing than the control and blank groups. These findings indicate that the artificial cornea titanium scaffold with hydroxyapatite surface modification had good biocompatibility that can effectively promote proliferation of corneal cels and corneal vascularization.

Objective To study the expression of WWOX, ErbB2 and Ki67 protein in non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC) and the relationships with cell proliferation. Methods WWOX and ErbB2 protein expressions were evaluated by immunohistochemistry in 81 NSCLC patients (50 squamous cell carcinomas,31 adenocarcinomas and 20 adjacent normal lung tissues) and the correlations with histopathologic cell proliferation were analyzed. Results WWOX expression was absent/reduced in 72.8% of NSCLC, while it was normal in 80.0% of adjacent normal lung tissues. WWOX expression was strongly associated with tumor histology, histologic grade and lymph node metastasis ( X2 = 5.44, P = 0.019 ; X2 = 4.740, P = 0.029, X2 = 4.51, P = 0.034 ), reduced WWOX expression was higher in squamous cell carcinomas and in poorly differentiated tumors. The overexpression of ErbB2 was associated with TNM stage and lymph node metastasis ( X2 = 6.90, P = 0.009 ; X2= 5.68, P=0.017). WWOX expression was negatively related to the overexpression of ErbB2 (r=-0.239, P <0.05 ). WWOX expression intensity was nega-tively related to the high index of cell proliferation (r=-0.252, P<0.05 ). Conclusion The loss of WWOX ex-pression plays different roles in tumorigenesis of NSCLC and is related to high aggressiveness of tumors. The loss of WWOX expression and the overexpression of ErbB2 can estimate the prognosis of NSCLC.

Aims To study the effects of clenbuterol on anoxia/reoxygenation( A/R) injury in neonatal Wistar rat cardiomyocytes and to explore whether its mecha-nism is related to reperfusion injury salvage kinase ( RISK) or not. Methods The cultured primary neo-natal cardiomyocytes were randomly divided into eight groups: ①normal culture group; ②anoxia/reoxygen-ation( A/R) group;③ clenbuterol ( 1 μmol · L-1 ) +A/R;④ICI118,551(10 μmol·L-1) + clenbuterol ( 1 μmol · L-1 ) + A/R; ⑤Metoprolol ( 10μmol · L-1 ) + clenbuterol(1μmol·L-1 ) + A/R group;⑥Metoprolol ( 10 μmol · L-1 ) + A/R group; ⑦PD98059 ( 20 μmol · L-1 ) + clenbuterol ( 1 μmol · L-1 ) + A/R group;⑧ LY294002(10 μmol·L-1 ) +clenbuterol(1 μmol · L-1 ) + A/R group. Cell via-bility was determined by the conventional MTT reduc-tion assay. The content of LDH in cultured medium was measured with colorimetry. Cardiomyocyte apopto-sis was determined by Hoechst33342 . Intracellular re-active species( ROS) were monitored by the fluorescent DCFH-DA. Total ERK2 and phosphorylated ERK were detected by western blot. Results Compared with A/R group, clenbuterol significantly increased vaibility of cells, reduced LDH release, lowered the rate of apop-tosis and ROS production. When addedβ2 receptor an-tagonist ICI118 , 551 , PI3 K inhibitor LY294002 and ERK inhibitor PD98059 , the effects of clenbuterol a-bove were inhibited; but β1 receptor antagonist Meto-prolol protected the cardiomyocytes from A/R injury, as evidenced by decreased LDH release and increased cell viability. There were no synergistic effects in the combined use of clenbuterol and Metoprolol. Conclu-sion clenbuterol exerts cardioprotective effects against A/R injury by inhibiting oxidative stress and apopto-sis. The protection of clenbuterol is inhibited by ICI118 , 551 , LY294002 and PD98059 . clenbuterol protects cardiomyocytes against A/R injury via RISK pathway by activation of β2 receptor.

Objective To explore the relationship between cognitive function and sleep disturb-ance,depression and anxiety. Methods Totally 333 medical staff were investigated using the repetitive neu-ropsychological status questionnaire (RBANS),the Pittsburgh sleep quality index ( PSQI),the depression self-rating scale (SDS) and the anxiety self-rating scale ( SAS). Results ①The difference of visual span in gender(male:(81. 87±13. 48) vs female:(77. 12± 13. 09)) was statistically significant ( t=2. 928,P<0. 05).②Differences in immediate memory,language function,attention function and total score of RBANS among patients of different ages were statistically significant ( F=9. 654,8. 370,11. 465,11. 112, all P<0. 01).③There were significant differences in the RBANS,immediate memory,visual span,attention function and delayed memory between doctor and nurse(t=5. 374,4. 730,3. 389,4. 359,5. 675,all P<0. 01).④There were significant differences in the RBANS,immediate memory,and delayed memory between different PSQI levels ( F=3. 475,4. 892,4. 087, all P<0. 05). ⑤There were significant differences in RBANS ((88. 87±12. 47) vs (83. 69±13. 03)),immediate memory ((86. 18±16. 09) vs (80. 56±15. 38)),visual span ((79. 39±13. 32) vs (73. 47±12. 46)),and delayed memory ((89. 03±10. 26) vs (85. 49±11. 41)) between the depressive symptoms and not depressive symptoms groups( t=2. 794,2. 380,3. 042,2. 295,all P<0. 05) .⑥The total score of medical staff's RBANS was significantly negatively correlated with their PSQI,SDS and SAS scores (r=-0. 158,-0. 233,-0. 117,all P<0. 05).⑦SDS,age,occupation,education, time of sleep and PSQI entered multiple stepwise regression equations,which explain 39. 9% variation in cog-nitive function of medical staff. Conclusion The cognitive function of medical staff is affected by gender, age,occupation,education,depression,and sleep disturbance. The worse the sleep quality,the higher the de-gree of depression and anxiety,and the poorer the cognitive function.
