Objective To study the effect of vanadium on antioxidase activity in liver microsome and mitochondrion of rats. Methods 40 Wistar rats were randomly divided into 7 groups, 6 experimental groups, 1 control group. The rats in experimental groups were treated with ammonium metavanadate through drinking water at the doses of 1.25, 2.5, 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg respectively for 20 consecutive days. The rats in control group were treated with distilled water. GSH-Px, CAT activity in liver microsome and SOD activity, MDA content in liver mitochondrion were determined. Results GSH-Px, CAT, SOD activity decreased and MDA content increased as ammonium metavanadate dosage increased. Compared with the control group, GSH-Px and CAT activity in 5, 10, 20 and 40 mg/kg groups decreased significantly(P

BACKGROUND:To overcome the disadvantages of traditional mechanical analysis of specimens, and establish the finite element model of realistic foot, are the important basements for the finite element mechanical analysis on foot.
OBJECTIVE:To establish three-dimensional finite element model of foot and lay the foundation for the finite element analysis of normal foot and foot injury.
METHODS:A healthy female volunteer was involved in this study and was detected with spiral CT scanning on the feet. The resulting image was used to reconstruct the three-dimensional model by using Mimics software. Then entity model was generated in Geomagic software. Final y three-dimensional finite element model was established based on the digital main structure in Ansys. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The established finite element digital model of human foot included al bone, cartilage and ligament, skin and soft tissue. The three-dimensional finite element model of human foot was established based on CT data and using Mimics, Geomagic, Ansys softwares. The established model had similar size and shape with skeletal mode, and can rotate freely in any angle for a variety of measurement, the foot bones can be arbitrarily split or merge, which is suitable for biomechanical analysis.

Objective To examine the effects of glucose on the expression of P38 MAPK and TGF?2 in cultured human umbilical vein endothelial cells.Methods Human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVECs)were incubated in a culture medium with 11.2 mmol/L,16.8 mmol/L and 33.6 mmol/L glucose concentrations for 24 h,48 h and 72 h respectively.The expression P38 MAPK and TGF?2 was measured by RT-PCR and Western-blot.Results When D-glucose concentrations rose,HUVECs exposed to high glucose concentration(11.2 mmol/L,16.8 mmol/L and 33.6 mmol/L)showd increase in cell expression of P38 MAPK and TGF?2 after 48 h and 72 h exposure as compared with those cultured in medium of low glucose concentration(5.6 mmol/L).ConclusionHigh concentration of glucose can arrest the proliferative response.Even a short-term exposure of endothelial cells(ECs)to high glucose concentration may lead to their activation associated with increased expression of P38 MAPK and TGF?2.High Glucose Concentration on P38 MAPK and TGF?2 expression may participate the pathogenesy of diabetic retinopathy.

Objective:To investigate the serum antibody level in children with pertussis in Hangzhou city, and to evaluate the incidence of pertussis in children and the immunization effect of vaccine.Methods:A retrospective study was conducted.The pertussis toxin IgG antibody levels in 1 486 children aged 0-14 who received physical exa-mination in Hangzhou Children′s Hospital from January to December 2018 of were collected and analyzed.Serum antibody level ≥30 IU/mL was considered seropositive.The children enrolled were divided into the 0-3-year-old, 4-6-year-old, 7-9-year-old and 10-14-year-old groups; then the children under 3 years old were subdivided into groups of 0-<3 months, 3-<6 months, 6-<9 months, 9-<12 months, 12-<18 months, and 18-≤ 36 months; finally, the children were grouped according to their vaccination times, the pertussis toxin IgG antibody level and the infection rate of pertussis were compared among different groups by Mann- Whitney U, Kruskal- Wallis and χ2 tests. Results:The overall positive rate of the pertussis toxin IgG antibody was 23.62% (351/1 486), and the median antibody concentration was 6.60 IU/mL.Among children aged 0-14, the 0-3-year-old children had the highest positive rate of the pertussis toxin IgG antibody and the highest median antibody concentration, which were 24.58% (29/118) and 6.95 IU/mL, respectively.There was no significant difference in the antibody positive rate and the median antibody concentration among different age groups (all P>0.05). Among different subgroups of children aged 0-3, the pertussis toxin IgG antibody positive rate and the median antibody concentration were statistically significant (all P<0.05). It was predicted that the pertussis infection rate in children over 3 years old in Hangzhou was about 45.99%.The patients receiving more than 3 doses of vaccination accounted for 87.48% (1 300/1 486), and their antibody positive rate was 25.46% (331/1 300). After excluding unvaccinated children, the comparison results suggested that there was statistical significance in the antibody positive rate and median antibody concentration among different vaccination groups ( χ2=24.467, 67.438, all P<0.001). Conclusions:The serum pertussis toxin IgG antibody positive rate in children aged 0-14 in Hangzhou is low, but their predicted pertussis infection rate is higher.Children aged 0-14 are easy to become a main source of infection.Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to and strengthen the vaccination plan and research, enhance the monitoring of the infection source, and prevent the " recurrence of pertussis" .

Triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC) is a nasty disease with extremely high malignancy and poor prognosis. Annexin A3 (ANXA3) is a potential prognosis biomarker, displaying an excellent correlation of ANXA3 overexpression with patients' poor prognosis. Silencing the expression of ANXA3 effectively inhibits the proliferation and metastasis of TNBC, suggesting that ANXA3 can be a promising therapeutic target to treat TNBC. Herein, we report a first-in-class ANXA3-targeted small molecule (R)-SL18, which demonstrated excellent anti-proliferative and anti-invasive activities to TNBC cells. (R)-SL18 directly bound to ANXA3 and increased its ubiquitination, thereby inducing ANXA3 degradation with moderate family selectivity. Importantly, (R)-SL18 showed a safe and effective therapeutic potency in a high ANXA3-expressing TNBC patient-derived xenograft model. Furthermore, (R)-SL18 could reduce the β-catenin level, and accordingly inhibit the Wnt/β-catenin signaling pathway in TNBC cells. Collectively, our data suggested that targeting degradation of ANXA3 by (R)-SL18 possesses the potential to treat TNBC.
