This study was aimed to determine trace elements in Peach pulp . The wet digestion method and car-bonize acid dissolution method were applied to digest the sample, and flame atomic absorption spectroscopy was used to determine the content of trace elements (Fe, Cu, Mn) in Peach pulp . The results showed that the content is not consistent among different pretreatment methods. However, the metalion content among these three methods are in the order of Fe > Mn > Cu, with the average recovery rate between 92.6% and 119.6%. The RSD is less than 2.86%. It was concluded that this method is with high accuracy and stability as well as reliable accurate re-sults. It also proved that Peach pulp . is rich in Fe, Cu and Mn. It provides some useful information for further pharmacological study of Peach pulp .

Objective To observe the inhibitory role of valproic acid (VPA) in hypertrophic cardiomycytes induced by angiotensin Ⅱ (Ang Ⅱ)in rats. Methods The cultured rat cardiomyocytes were divided randomly into control group, hypertrophic group and VPA group. They were treated with Ang Ⅱ to induce hypertrophy and then given with VPA. The morphologic changes of cardiomyocytes were observed under the contrast phase microscope and electron microscope. The mRNA levels ofβ-MHC were exmained by reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) method. The protein expression of C-FOS was exmanined by immunohistochemistry method. Results Stimulated by Ang Ⅱ, the cardiomyocytes were enlarged under the contrast phase microscope and the ultrastructure also changed. After stimulated by Ang Ⅱ, the mRNA level of β-MHC and the protein expression of C-FOS increased in the hypertrophic cardiocytes. Given by VPA, these data decreased accordingly. Conclusion VPA may inhibit the cardiomyocyte hypertrophy induced by angiotensin Ⅱ in some degree.

Objective To retrospectively analyze clinical manifestations of autonomic nervous system (ANS) and skin sympathetic response (SSR) in Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome (LEMS).Methods Fifty-three LEMS patients' medical records were reviewed and information regarding clinical symptoms and signs of ANS and SSR testing results were collected.Results ( 1 ) The most common initial symptom of LEMS was weakness of lower extremities ( n =41 ) and the most common symptom of ANS dysfunction was constipation ( n =25 ) and dry-mouth ( n =23),which could be occurred before the onset of the legs (n =7).(2) In symptoms of ANS,cardiovascular system dysfunction was found in 4 patients include one of ingone of bradycardia,one of postural hypotension and 2 of tachycardia- Secretory glands dysfunction was found in 34 patients:23 dry-mouth,6 dry-eyes,and 8 patients sweating dysfunctions.Twenty-eight patients complained of alimentary dysfunction including constipation and diarrhea.Bladder dysfunction was found in 2 patients,who complained of urinary incontinence.Seven male patients complained of sexual dysfunction.Abnormal skin scratch test was found in 17 patients.(3) SSR was performed in 33 patients and 18 found abnormal.Conclusions ANS manifestations are common and prominent in LEMS patients.SSR abnormality is also common in LEMS.More electrophysiology tests are needed in LEMS patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical features and causes of micturition and defecation dysfunction in motor neuron disease (MND) patients.Methods The micturition and defecation function was evaluated by a questionnaire covering storage and voiding of urine and feces respectively in 50 MND patients.The clinical features and external anal sphincter electromyography (EAS-EMG) were analyzed to explore the causes of micturition and defecation dysfunction in MND patients.Results Micturition and defecation dysfunction was detected in 9 of 50 (18.0％) MND patients.The main types of micturition and defecation dysfunction were constipation (4/9),urinary frequency,urgency with or without incontinence,fecal urgency (4/9),powerlessness for micturition and defecation (2/9),hesitancy for micturition (1/9).EAS-EMG was normal in 9 MND patients accompanied with micturition and defecation dysfunction.Conclusions MND patients accompanied with micturition and defecation dysfunction were not very rare.Constipation,urgency and powerlessness were the main types of micturition and defecation dysfunction and they were not related to the function of external anal sphincter.Gastrointestinal dysfunction from abnormal autonomic nerve involvement,muscle weakness and the resulted reduced activity,severe upper motor neuron damage and respiratory muscle weakness may be the main causes of micturition and defecation dysfunction in MND patients.

Objective To explore the relationship between care burden and social support among family caregivers of disabled elders in Beijing urban area.Methods A cross-sectional survey based on convenience sampling was conducted among 744 family caregivers in Dongcheng District in Beijing urban area.All subjects were interviewed by the Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI),Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS) and general social and demographical material lists.And then we analyzed the correlation between social support and care burden.Results The mean scores of ZBT and SSRS were (40.3 ± 15.2) and (31.1 ± 6.9)respectively.And a negative correlation existed between the level of caregiver burden and total social support.The care burden of disability elders was negatively associated with objective support,subjective support and social support availability (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions There is a close relationship between care burden and social support among family caregivers of disabled elders.The more objective support,subjective support and social support availability the caregivers acquire,the less burden they bear.

Objective To investigate the effects of monoclonal antibody against stathmin 1 in combination with vinblastine on the proliferation of K562 cells. Methods K562 cells were treated with monoclonal antibody against stathmin 1, vinblastine alone or with their combination, 24, 48, 72, 96 hours later, inhabitation rate was studied by MTT assay;The apoptosis was analyzed by invert microscope and flow cytometry with Annexin V/PI.

Objective To explore the impact of childbirth on women external anal sphincter electromyography by analysis of motor unit potentials parameters of external anal sphincter electromyography of healthy women volunteers with different childbirth experiences.Methods Twenty-eight healthy volunteers with different childbirth experiences were recruited in this study.Among them , 7 had a history of cesarean and 21 had experienced 1-3 uncomplicated vaginal deliveries ( 12 women had experienced 1, 6 had experienced 2, and 3 had experienced 3).Another 9 nulliparous healthy volunteers were recruited as control group.Among all subjects who completed the examination , parameters of motor unit potentials ( duration, amplitude, area, mean number of turns and mean phases ) of bilateral external anal sphincter were obtained for statistical analysis.Results There were no significant differences in any of the parameters of motor unit potentials between the nulliparous group and the cesarean group , while parameters of durations (10.5 ms vs 9.0 ms, t=-2.506, P=0.019) and mean phases (4.0 vs 3.6, t =-2.707, P=0.012) of vaginal delivery group were significantly higher than that of cesarean group and parameter of durations ( 10.5 ms vs 8.9 ms, t =-3.025, P =0.005 ) of vaginal delivery group was significantly higher than that of the nulliparous group;With increasing numbers of vaginal deliveries , only the parameter of mean turns showed statistically significant differences , although there was a slight trend of larger and more complex motor unit potentials.Compared with subjects without vaginal delivery experience ( including nulliparous group and the cesarean group ) , the parameters of durations and mean phases of subjects with vaginal delivery experience were statistically higher; Nevertheless , parameter of bilateral duration of the motor unit potential preferred asymmetric.Conclusions Childbirth experience has an explicit impact on the parameters of the external anal sphincter motor unit potentials , which is considered to be strongly correlated with the vaginal delivery process rather than the pregnancy procession itself.In addition , the impact is mostly from the first vaginal delivery experience.The characters of asymmetry of motor unit potential parameters imply the possibility of mechanical damage and decrease blood perfusion of tissues during delivery procession.
