Objective To explore ultrasonographic diagnosis of severe fetal limb deformity in early pregnancy.Methods A total of 5 843 cases of pregnant women were screened and 147 cases of suspected fetal malformation were sellected.The routine ul-trasound examination results were recorded as control group,and continuous order tracking ultrasonic method inspection results were recorded as observation group.The accuracy,sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value,and negative predictive value was compared.Results The clinical results obtained in multiparous or limb malformation fetus were 40 cases,accounting for 27.21%. In the observation group on limb loss and other detection rate of 100% (14/14)and 65.00% (13/20),significantly higher than those in control group 50.00% (7/14)and 5.00% (1/20).But in the observation group on finger deformity examination showed no advantage.Observation accuracy,sensitivity and negative predictive value was 91.84%,70.00%,89.92%,which were higher than those in the control group(78.91%,22.50%,77.54%).The differences were statistically significant (P <0.05).Conclusion The application of continuous order tracking ultrasonic method to check the first trimester fetal limb deformity with high accuracy,pro-vided sufficient time for prenatal diagnosis of fetal treatment and late.

Objective To investigate the effect of warfarin on coagulation function and hemorheology index in patients with atrial fibrillation. Methods Retrospective a total of 90 patients with atrial fibrillation who underwent anticoagulant therapy from June 2014 to December 2015 in The Fourth People's Hospital of Wenling City were randomly divided into the control group and the warfarin group with 45 cases in each group.The patients in the control group were treated with aspirin, the patients in the warfarin group were treated with warfarin.The indexes of coagulation function and hemorheology were measured before and after treatment, and the effects of warfarin on patients with atrial fibrillation were observed and analyzed. Results After treatment, there was no significant change in coagulation function in the control group, the thrombin time (PT), thrombin time (TT), and partially activated thrombin time (APTT) of warfarin group were significantly increased, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), and the coagulation function of warfarin group was significantly higher than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).The plasma viscosity, red blood cell index, high shear whole blood viscosity, low shear whole blood viscosity and fibrinogen (FIB) were significantly lower in the two groups, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), and the high shear whole blood viscosity, low shear whole blood viscosity and FIB of warfarin group were significantly lower than those of the control group, the difference was statistically significant ( P <0.05 ). Conclusion Warfarin has a potent effect on platelet activation, which can produce anticoagulation by adjusting coagulation function, platelet parameters and hemorheology in patients with atrial fibrillation.

D-amino acids were believed to have no function in higher organisms several years ago. Recently, D-serine was proved to be synthesized by astrocytes in vivo and be released to work as an effective coagonist at the “glycine-binding” site of the N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) glutamate receptors in central nervous system. In this paper, the synthesis, metabolism and function of D-serine were reviewed briefly.

Chemical warfare agents and chemical terrorism agents have been identified as one of the major threats to human survival and national security currently. The key to dealing with these threats is the effective medical countermeasures of which specific antidotes take center stage. In the past decade,real or potential chemical threats which has sparked regional conflicts,terrorist activities or chemical accidents intentionally or unintentionally have increased the investment in antidotes research and development worldwide. Here,we introduced the research status on medical countermeasures against chemical threat by giving an overview of the United States ″Countermeasures Against Chemi?cal Threats(CounterACT)Program″,and then the recent research progress in antidotes against nerve agents,sulfur mustard and cyanide toxicities were reviewed.

Vesicular glutamate transporters(VGLUTs)package specifically glutamate into synaptic vesicles in the presynaptic terminal for subsequent release into the synaptic cleft.VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 together label all glutamatergic neurons,are highly specific markers of glutamatergic neurons and their axon terminals.VGLUT1 and VGLUT2 are respectively the neurochemical marker of cortico-cortical projection and thalamo-cortical projection.VGLUT3 is also expressed in cholinergic interneurons,serotoninergic neurons,subsets of GABAergic interneurons in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex.The disfunction of VGLUTs can lead to the abnormal excitatory neurotransmitter glutamate,resulting in many nervous system disease.In order to give a clue for prevention and therapy of these diseases,this paper reviews the disfunction of VGLUTs effects on Alzheimer's disease(AD),Parkinson's disease(PD),schizophrenia,depressive disorder,epilepsy and deafness.

Alzheimer′s disease(AD)is one of the neurodegenerative diseases.Now it seriously threatens the life of the elderly.The pathogenesis of AD is not clear,thus there is no cure for this disease.The current treatment can′t reverse the pathological change of the disease or prevent the development of the disease,and the symptoms of the AD patients can only be partly improved.In recent years,the application of RNAi technology to the inhibition of the expression of the AD-related genes provides a new method for the treatment of AD.This article mainly introduces the application of the RNAi technology to AD.

Objective:To compare quantitatively the quality of the canal isthmus retropreparation among three kinds of ultrasonic ret-rotips.Methods:1 20 maxillary bicuspid teeth with two canals and an isthmus were randomly assigned to 3 groups(n=40).The canal isthmus retropreparation were made respectively using ultrasonic niti tip RE2,diamond tip Berutti and #25K file.Image processing and analysis system were used to measure the preoperative and postoperative parameters for further evaluation.Results:The cutting volume of ultrasonic niti tip RE2 group was significantly less than those of other two groups(P<0.05).Conclusion:Ultrasonic niti tip RE2 is feasible in the canal isthmus retropreparation.

Objective　To study distribution of the calcitonin gene-related peptide-immunoreactive fibers in the cremaster arteries of the rat.Methods　The distribution of the calcitonin gene-related peptide-immunoreactive fibers in the cremaster arteries had been studied by means of ABC technique.Results　The calcitonin gene-related peptide-immunoreactive fibers were observed on all branches of cremaster arteries.The immunoreative fibers in first and second branches of the arteries exhibited the denser grains and denser mass,but in third branches,the network of the fibers was obvious.The density of the immunoreactive fibers reduced following the bifurcations of the arteries.The network of the fibers also could be found in the capillary.Conclusion　The results demonstrated that the distribution of calcitonin gene-related peptide immunoreactive fibers might be related to the physiological regulation and microcirculation of the cremaster arteries.It formed the morphological basis for experimental model of researching nerve regulation in the microcirculation.

Aim To disclose the molecular mechanism of Liuwei Dihuang decoction(LW)enhances the cognitive function of central nervous system, the effects of Liuwei Dihuang decoction on the differential expression genes in the hippocampus of senescence-accelerated mouse was studied. Methods There were 8 gene expression patterns, such as SAMP8 and SAMR1, SAMP8 as negative control and SAMR1 as positive control, huperzine A-treated SAMP8 and SAMP8 as negative control, LW-treated SAMP8 and SAMP8 as negative control, were compared and assessed by use of the differential expression cDNA microarray of the hippocampus of SAMP8 and SAMR1. The response genes of LW were compared. Results LW had significant modulating effects on some of the gene expressions. Expressions of genes, such as DUSP12, NSF, STUB1, CaMKⅡ?, AMFR, UQCRFS1 and other 11 novel genes without any functional clues changed significantly. These genes involved in the protein-tyrosine phosphatase family, the AAA(ATPases associated with diverse cellular activities)gene family, the serine/threonine protein kinases family, ubiquitin ligase, mitochondrial function and so on. Conclusions These results suggested LW effects on the cognitive impairments might be multi-mechanism and these genes might be the potential gene targets for LW effects on the impairments.

The Eph protein family,consisting of Eph receptors and their corresponding membrane-anchored protein ligands-Ephrin,is no doubt the largest receptor protein tyrosine kinases family till now.Interactions between Eph receptors and Ephrin ligands based on their special structure might make the Eph protein family one of new targets of disease′s treatment and consequently studies related to Eph proteins and their receptors have draw more and more attention.This overview will focus on recent progresses in the classification,gene expression,protein structure,function and protein-receptor interactions of the Eph protein family and their receptors.Much of the focus of this overview is on their physiological and pathophysiological role in nervous system and their therapeutic perspective from several aspects.
