Objective To investigate the contamination and dietary intake of the aluminium in commercial foods in Shaanxi Province,and evaluate its potential health risks in Shaanxi population.Methods Six hundred and sixty-six samples from 8 kinds of foods in Shaanxi Province were collected from 2013 to 2015.The aluminium contents were detected according to National Food Contamination and Harmful Factors in Risk Monitoring Manual,and dietary intake of aluminium in Shaanxi population was evaluated by point assessment model with of nutritional survey date.Results The average dietary intake of aluminium was 0.154 9 mg/kg BW per day,and the dietary intake of woman aged 18 to 59 years old was the highest,with an average of 0.178 5 mg/kg BW per day.When aluminum intake of the 97.5 percentile,the dietary intake of aluminium in children aged 2 to 7 years old was the highest.The margins of safety (MOS) of all age groups were smaller than 1,while the MOS of high exposure (P97.5) group was above 1.Fried and baked food were the main sources of aluminium exposure in two age groups (2-7 years and 8-12 years old group),while fried food,cold noodle and starch products were the main sources of aluminium exposure for others.Conclusion Dietary intake (tP97.5) of aluminium exceeded the provisional tolerable weekly intake (PTWI).The dietary intake of aluminium in women and children was high.Fried food was the main sources of aluminium exposure in all age groups.

The concentrations of borneol in the serum and brain tissue of rats were determined by gas chromatography. Using brain tissue as a relatively independent system, PHARMFIT and PCNONLIN softwares are applied for the kinetic analysis of the infracorporal process of borneol in order to find out and compare the pharmacokinetic characteristics of borneol in the brain and serum. The results showed that borneol was absorbed very rapidly in the gastrointestinal tract and readily permeates the blood-brain barrier into brain tissue. There was a higher specific value of borneol concentration in the brain and serum. Moreover, the half life of distribution phase of borneol in the brain was three times higher than that in the serum. But the constants of elimination rate of borneol in the brain and serum decreased simultaneously and parallelly, hence the accumulation of borneol in brain will not be found.

Objective Toobservetheindication, safetyandefficacyofanew immunosuppressant Rituximab in kidney transplantation. MethodsFive patients, who were diagnosed as antibody mediated rejection (AMR) from December 2010 to June 2011, were treated with single dose of Rituximab (500 mg) and followed up for 6 months. The clinical data, such as age, gender, onset of illness, induction therapy, maintaining therapy, allograft function, change of PRA, opportunistic infection and other complications were collected and retrospectively analyzed to evaluate the safety and efficacy of Rituximab used in AMR patients. ResultsAfter Rituximab therapy, all the patients had improved renal function measured by sera creatinine level: 4 cases retumed to normal, and 1 keep stable. Series of allograft biopsy demonstrated obviously reduced C4d deposition in nephridial tissue after treatment. One patient developed CMV viremia, another had urinary infection, but no one had lifethreatening infection during the follow-up period. The survival rate of human and allograft was both 100 ％. Conclusion Rituximab has a good efficacy and safety in treatment of AMR after renal transplantation.

We transformed the fip-fve gene into Pichia pastoris GS115 for inducible and constitutive expression to obtain feasible bioactvie recombinant Fip-fve. The fip-fve gene was cloned from Flammulina velutipes fruting body by PCR and ligated to pPIC9 to construct inducible expression vector pPIC9-FIP-fve, and promotor pgap was used to replace the paox1 to construct constitutive expression vector pPIC9-PGAP-FIP-fve. These two vectors were used to transform P. pastoris by PEG method. The fip-fve was expressed after histamine-absence screening and yeast colony PCR. The inducible expression level reached 158.2 mg/L at the fourth day and the constitutive expression level was 46.3 mg/L and 29.5 mg/L using glucose and glycerol, respectively. The SDS-PAGE and Western blotting both proved the correctness of rFip-fve, and the hemagglutination test indicats the rFip-fve's bioactivity.

Objective: To analyze the current status of work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs), work fatigue and musculoskeletal pain in Chinese occupational population, and to study the relationship between work fatigue and musculoskeletal pain and WMSDs. Methods: A total of 66 961 employees from 323 enterprises in 15 key industries in China were selected as the study subjects using stratified cluster sampling method. The incidence of WMSDs in the past year was investigated using the Chinese version of the Musculoskeletal Disorders Questionnaire, and the work fatigue and musculoskeletal pain were investigated using Borg 6-20 Rating of Perceived Exertion Scale and visual analogue scale. The data were standardized using the age composition data of 18 to 60 years from the seventh national population census. Results: The standardized annual incidence of WMSDs was higher in the front-line workers than that in the administrative and other supportive staff (38.82% vs 36.30%). The detection rates of work fatigue and musculoskeletal pain in the study subjects were 44.54% and 63.08%, respectively. The result of S-curve fitting showed that the risk of WMSDs increased with the level of work fatigue (P<0.01). Among the front-line workers, the average of monthly fatigue frequency in the neck, shoulder, lower back, upper back, wrist/hand, foot and ankle, knee, leg, and elbow were higher in the group with WMSDs compared to those without WMSDs (all P<0.01). The pain degree of musculoskeletal pain was higher in all nine sites in the fatigued group than in the no-fatigue group (all P<0.01). The standardized detection rate of musculoskeletal pain was higher in the fatigued group than in the non-fatigued group (80.38% vs 25.71%). The work fatigue was moderate and positively correlated with musculoskeletal pain in all seven sites except the lower back and elbow, with Kendall Tau-b correlation coefficients ranging from 0.423 to 0.546 (all P<0.01). Conclusion: There is a good correlation between work fatigue and local musculoskeletal pain, work fatigue and WMSDs in Chinese occupational population. Implementing ergonomic interventions to control the development of work fatigue can be an effective measure for preventing WMSDs.

OBJECTIVE：To study the improvement ef fects of sanggenone C on lipid accumulation in human liver cancer HepG2 cells induced by free fatty acid （FFA）. METHODS ：HepG2 cells were divided into control group ，model group ， fenofibrate group （10 μmol/L），sangerone C low ，medium and high concentration groups （2，4，8 μmol/L）. Except for control group，other groups were treated with 1 mmol/L FFA to induce lipid accumulation model ，and administration groups were cultured with relevant medium containing drugs. The lipid accumulation was observed by oil red O staining ，and lipid level and triglyceride （TG） content were also determined. Real-time PCR and Western blot assay were adopted to detect the mRNA and protein expression of PPARα，CPT-1，SREBP-1c，FAS，SIRT1 and PGC- 1α in HepG2 cells. RESULTS ：Compared with control group ， the nucleus was atrophied significantly and the volume became smaller ，and the number of lipid droplets was significantly increased；the level of lipid ，TG content ，mRNA and protein expression of SREBP- 1c and FAS were significantly increased （P＜ 0.05 or P＜0.01），mRNA and protein expression of PPARα，CPT-1，SIRT1 and PGC- 1α were decreased significantly（P＜0.01）. Compared with model group ，no obvious nucleus atrophy and normal volume were observed in sangerone C groups ，and the number of lipid droplets was significantly reduced ；the levels of lipid ，TG content ，mRNA and protein expression of PPARα pathway related genes （except for SREBP- 1c protein in saggenone C low concentration group ）were significantly reversed （P＜ 0.05 or P＜0.01）. CONCLUSIONS ：Sangenone C can significantly improve the lipid accumulation of HepG 2 cells，and its mechanism may associated with regulating PPAR α signaling pathway，improving cell lipid oxidation ability and inhibiting lipid synthesis.
