AIM: To explore the properties of the acetylcholine(ACh)-sensitive potassium channel in type Ⅱ vestibular hair cells(VHCs Ⅱ) in mice saccular macula and the modulation effect of calcium ions.METHODS: Under the whole-cell patch mode,the pharmacology properties of ACh-sensitive potassium channel and the modulation of calcium ions on ACh-sensitive potassium channel were investigated.RESULTS: Following extracellular perfusion of ACh,VHCs Ⅱ displayed a slow and sustained outward current,which was sensitive to tetraethylammonium(TEA,5 mmol/L) and charybdotoxin(CTX,100 nmol/L),but not sensitive to 4-aminopyride(4-AP,15 ?mol/L).ACh-sensitive potassium current was inhibited by intracellular application of ethylene glycol-bis(B-aminoethylether)-N,N,N',N'-tetraacetic-acid(EGTA,5 mmol/L) and extracellular perfusion of Cd2+ and Ni2+,respectively.Intracellular application of heparin(8 g/L) failed to inhibit ACh-sensitive potassium current.CONCLUSION: Extracellular application of ACh activates the big conductance,calcium-dependent potassium current(BK) in VHCs Ⅱ of mice,which is potently modulated by extracellular Ca2+ ions.However,intracellular IP3-dependent Ca2+ ions release mechanism is not involved in the activation of the ACh-sensitive BK channel.

The relationship between hypermethylation of CpG islands in the promoter regions of O6-methylguanine DNA methyltransferase (MGMT) genes and laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma was explored. Methylation-specific PCR and semi-quantitative RT-PCR were used to study the promoter methylation and mRNA expression of the MGMT gene in laryngeal carcinoma tissues, tissues adjacent to the tumor and normal laryngeal tissues. Hypermethylation of MGMT gene was detected in 16 samples of 46 (34.8%) laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma samples. However, the MGMT hypermethylation was not detected in all tissues adjacent to the tumors and normal tissues. No significant difference in MGMT gene hypermethylation was found in samples with different histological grades (chi2 = 3.130, P = 0.077) or in samples from patients with different TNM status (chi2 = 3.957, P = 0.138). No expression of MGMT mRNA was detected in all hypermethylated laryngeal carcinoma tissues. The expression of MGMT mRNA was detected in all unmethylated laryngeal carcinoma tissues, tissues adjacent to the tumors and normal tissues. It suggests that MGMT gene promoter hypermethylation is associated with MGMT gene transcription loss in laryngeal carcinoma tissues and possibly plays an important role in carcinogenesis of laryngeal tissues.

Dendrobium officinale is a kind of precious Chinese herbal medicine, which has good effects on the anti-aging, antineoplastic, and blood glucose reducing treatment. It has been listed in the top of “Nine Magic Herbs”, with significant cultural features of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM). Planting, processing, and cultural base construction of Dendrobium officinale in Hunan Province have obtained great achievements. Further combination of Dendrobium officinale with TCM culture will develop a series portable and convenient tourism products with the features of wide taking habits and large intended population. The planting of Dendrobium officinale should be integrated with ecofallow organically; the construction of science museums about Dendrobium officinale should be improved; the modern view on health maintenance “Health maintenance should focus on Yin nourishment” should be included in TCM cultural tourism in Hunan Province. All of these can improve the potential of tourism product development, meet the living requirements of modern people, and drive the development of tourist industry in Hunan Province.

OBJECTIVE:
To analyze the rate of 235delC mutation in GJB2 gene in patients with idiopathic sudden hearing loss, and to explore its possible correlation with pathogenesis of idiopathic sudden hearing loss.
METHOD:
Two hundred and thirty-four patients with diagnosis of idiopathic sudden hearing loss in otolaryngology department were recruited as experimental group. Eighty people with normal hearing level were enrolled as control group. Their peripheral blood samples were obtained and genomic DNA was extracted. Using polymerase chain reaction, the coding region of GJB2 gene was amplified, and 235delC mutation is screened for in GJB2 gene by restriction endonuclease. At same time the clinical data of 234 patients was collected to analyze.
RESULT:
In 234 cases of idiopathic sudden hearing loss, 5 cases were found to have heterozygous 235delC mutation, none of them harbored homozygous 235delC mutation, the 235delC mutation rate was 2.1% (5/234). No 235delC mutation was found in control group. The rate of 235delC mutation in two group showed no statistically significant difference (P > 0.05).
CONCLUSION
This research shows that the rate of 235delC mutation in GJB2 is low in patients with idiopathic sudden hearing loss, and suggest that 235delC mutation possible has no correlation with idiopathic sudden hearing loss.

Objective:To understand the genetic variation and the prevalence of H9N2 subtype avian influenza virus in Guizhou province, and to provide the scientific evidence for the prevention and control of avian influenza virus.Methods:The results of AIV detection in live poultry market(LPM) environment in Guizhou province from October 2018 to March 2019 were statistically analyzed, RNAs were extracted and sequenced from the HA genes of 13 samples of H9N2 positive screened by real-time PCR. Then the homology, the genetic evolution and the mutations of important amino acid were analyzed by bioinformation softwares. Results:The positive rate of AIV was 52.2% and the positive rate of H9N2 was 83.7% in LPM environment. The homology between nucleotides of the HA gene of 21 strains ranged from 91.6% to 100.0%, and the homology between amino acids of the HA gene ranged from 91.0% to 100.0%. All strains belonged to Y280 sublineage and G57 genotype. Key sites analysis showed that they had a common motif PSRSSRGLF and LSRSSRGLF at the cleavage site, which indicated that they were lentogenic and low pathogenic strains. Mutations H191N, E198T/A and Q234L at the receptor binding sites in the HA was found in 21 strains, while indicated the viruses had the potential to bind human-like receptor. The analysis results of glycosylation motifs showed that all 21 strains had 7 glycosylation sites, but had a site deletion at amino acid site 218 and an addition at 313.There was no significant mutation in the key site compared with the human infected strains. Conclusions:The detection rate of AIV in LPM environment in Guizhou province was high, and the pollution was very serious, and H9N2 subtype is the main subtype, All H9N2 subtype AIVs belonged to Y280 sublineage and G57 genotype, and they were low pathogenic avian influenza viruses in Guizhou province, but the genetic gap were widening and mutations of key amino acid site might enhance susceptibility and pathogenicity to human beings. Hence, It is necessary to strengthen the surveillance of molecular characteristic variation of H9N2 subtype AIV.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the prevalence of nasal colonization among health care workers(HCWs).METHODS Nasal swabs from 93 ICU workers and 98 other clinical workers were cultured and isolated and the tests of antibiotic susceptibility were performed by using paper diffusion method.RESULTS In total,214 isolates of 8 species from 191 health care workers were recovered,of which 187 isolates were coagulase-negative Staphylococcus(CNS)(the carriage rate of 93.71%) and 8 isolates were Staphylococcus aureus(the carriage rate of 4.19%).While the total Gram-negative bacteria carriage rate was 14.14%(27 isolates).The most frequent CNS species were S.epidermidis and S.haemolyticus.The antibiotic susceptibility profiles of S.aureus and CNS differed sharply: all 8 S.aureus strains were resistant to penicillin but were fully susceptible to oxacillin,in contrast,most of CNS were resistant to both penicillin and oxacillin.The carriage rate of CNS(60.2%)and Gram-negative bacteria(26.9%)in HCWs of ICU were higher than other HCWs(P
