Aim To investigate the effect of polysac-charide of Cistanche deserticola ( CDPS) on the impro-ving ability of synaptic plasticity in memory acquisition impairment model mice induced by scopolamine. Methods The KM mice were randomly divided into six groups:scopolamine group, control group, CDPS-treated (25, 50, 100 mg·kg-1 ) group and donepezil group. Memory acquisition impairment model in mice was established with i. p. scopolamine (4 mg·kg-1 ) only once, and orally administered CDPS (25, 50, or 100 mg · kg-1 ) daily for 6 weeks before scopolamine injection. Experimental groups were subjected to step-down test and Morris water maze test. Western blot and RT-PCR analysis were used to examine the expression of GAP-43 , SYP and PSD-95 . Transmission electron
microscope was used to observe the change of synaptic number and structures. Results CDPS (25,50,100 mg·kg-1 ) could shorten the incubation period of mice in the water maze test. Control group and CDPS-treated group swam longer in Q3 than scopolamine group. Mo-reover, CDPS (50,100 mg·kg-1 ) could significantly reduce the error times and extend the incubation period in the step-down test. The results of Western blot and RT-PCR showed that CDPS significantly improved the expression of GAP-43 at the dose of 25 ,50 mg · kg-1 and SYP at the dose of 25,50, 100 mg·kg-1 in hip-pocampus of mice. However, the biochemical assays did not reveal a significant difference in the basal hipp-ocampal levels of the PSD-95 . The ultra-thin speci-mens of hippocampus showed that the number of syn-
apse was increased in CDPS-treated group. Conclu-sions Scopolamine can induce the learning and mem-ory deficits in mice to make related protein expression abnormalities in hippocampus mice, thus this causes the change of synaptic plasticity, which leads to a change in the ability of learning and memory. And CDPS can improve the expression of SYP and GAP-43 ,
increase number of synapses, recover synaptic plastici-ty, and improve the ability of learning and memory in mice.

Methods: A total of 66/94 (70.2%) HOCM patients received PTSMA in Shenyang PLA general hospital from 2001-10 to 2012-10 were retrospectively studied. The left ventricular out lfow gradient (LVOFG) was measured at before and after the operation, ECG and echocardiography were examined at 1 month, 6 months and 1 year after operation, and then examined once per year for (63.8±28.5) months.
Results: There were 26 patients lost contact during follow-up period, 40 returned to routine clinical check-up and 2 patients died thereafter, 1 because of sudden death and 1 because of cerebral bleeding. The pre-operative average LVOTG was (102.7 ± 47.5) mmHg, compared with the values at 6 months post-operation and long term (>6 months) after operation (33.9 ± 30.2) mmHg and (29.7 ± 25.4) mmHg,P<0.001. The pre-operative average inter ventricular septal (IVS) was (20.1 ± 3.6) mm, compared with the values at 6 months post-operation and long term after operation (17.5 ± 2.9) mm and (16.4 ± 3.6) mm, P=0.028 andP<0.001. There were 7 patients with NYHA class at II-III and having occasional chest suppression and short of breath. There were no heart transplantation, frequent premature ventricular contraction, tachycardia and other malignant arrhythmia occurred in 38 survivors.
Conclusion: PTSMA may reduce LVOTG, IVS thickness and improve the clinical symptoms in HOCM patients, the long-term efifcacy is reliable.

Objective:To investigate the performance of W2 plastic scintillator in megavolt photon and electron beams.Methods:The photon and electron beam energy provided by linear accelerator was used to collect data of the W2 scintillator. The parameters include the electrometer reading stability, W2 dose and dose rate linearity, and angular response. And the dose uncertainty of the W2 correction factors was also investigated.Results:The standard deviation of the electrometer reading stability was between 0.03 and 0.47. The linear regression factors of W2 dose were all 1.0; the maximum deviation of the dose rates was 0.61%. The Cerenkov light radiation correction factor(CLR) for 6 and 10 MV were 0.741 and 0.746, respectively, and the CLR for 6, 9, 12 and 15 MeV were 0.750, 0.753, 0.757 and 0.757, respectively. The maximum deviation of dose uncertainty for 15 MeV was 3.15%.Conclusions:The signal obtained by the blue and green channel was no angular dependence, the same as the high-energy electron beam, which verified that the Cerenkov radiation correction factor has good linearity. W2 plastic scintillator can be applied to non-coplanar radiotherapy dosimetry.

ObjectiveTo investigate the clinical significance of co-infection with hepatitis B virus (HBV) and Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) in HBV-related liver diseases such as chronic hepatitis B (CHB), liver cirrhosis, and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). MethodsA retrospective analysis was performed for the clinical data of 487 patients with HBV infection who were diagnosed in Zhongnan Hospital of Wuhan University from May 2016 to August 2018, among whom 194 (39.8%) had co-infection with HBV and EBV. The patients were divided into groups according to the copy number of EBV DNA (>400 IU/ml), Child-Pugh class (Child-Pugh class A, B, and C), and progression of liver disease (CHB, liver cirrhosis, and HCC), and related indices were compared between groups. The t-test was used for comparison of normally distributed continuous data between two groups; an analysis of variance was used for comparison between multiple groups, and the least significant difference t-test was used for further comparison between two groups. The Kruskal-Wallis H test was used for comparison of non-normally distributed continuous data between groups, and the Dunn-Bonferroni test was used for further comparison between two groups. The chi-square test was used for comparison of categorical data between groups. ResultsThe patients with CHB had a significantly higher copy number of HBV-DNA than those with liver cirrhosis or HCC (t=2.417 and 3.258, P=0.017 and 0.001), while the patients with HCC tended to have a higher copy number of EBV DNA than those with CHB or liver cirrhosis, but there was no significant difference between the three groups (F=1.161, P=0.315). After adjustment for liver function based on Child-Pugh class, the HCC patients with Child-Pugh class A liver function had a significantly higher copy number of EBV DNA than the CHB patients and the patients with liver cirrhosis (t=2.062 and 2.615, P=0.041 and 0.010), the liver cirrhosis patients with Child-Pugh class C liver function had a significantly higher copy number of EBV DNA than the CHB patients (t=2.647,P=0.012). ALT/AST, globulin, and lymphocyte percentage were specific clinical indices for co-infection with HBV and EBV. ConclusionThere is an increase in EBV load in HCC patients, and both EBV and HBV are involved in the progression of liver diseases. Dynamic quantification of EBV DNA in patients with HBV infection has a certain significance in early intervention of the progression of liver diseases.

This study was aimed to establish rat bladder tumor animal models to investigate the in viva antitumor effect of polyanhydride-pirarubicin (PAD-THP), a long-lasting anti-cancer implant, in the bladder tumor of animal models. The model of bladder cancer was set up with N-butly-N-(4 hydroxybutyl) nitrosamine (BBN) feeding into rats. The PAD-THP long-acting anti-cancer implants containing the drugs and the same dose of the THP naked drug were placed under the bladder mucosa of bladder tumor model in vivo. The pirarubicin plasma concentration was measured with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) detection in vivo. The effective drug concentration and lasting period were observed and compared in the animal bodies. The tumor sizes were measured before and after the treatment. The in viva antitumor effects were analyzed and compared. The results showed that more significant antitumor effect of PAD-THP implants on the local drug release characteristics were presented compared with that of the same dose of THP bare drug group and there were significant differences (P<0. 05) between the two methods. All the results indicated that the PAD-THP anti-cancer implants in the postoperative local treatment of bladder tumors would show prosperous in the future for clinical application.
