BACKGROUND:Many studies have shown that Chinese medicineFuming granules have certain curative effects on optic nerve injury, but a large number of experimental studies are stil needed to verify. OBJECTIVE:To verify the effect of Chinese medicineFuming granules on optic nerve injury by the method of stress relaxation experiments. METHODS: The animal models of optic nerve injury were established by the clamping method. Rats were intervened withFuming granules by intragastric administration. Model group and normal control group were set for comparison. After 30 days of successive administration, optic nerve injury received stress relaxation experiments in each group, and histomorphology was observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the normal control group, the optic nerve nuclei distributed uniformly without edema, augmentation or inflammatory cels, and the axon and other contents had a clear structure. In the model group, the optic nerve fiber arranged sparsely, presented unclear structure, and axon, karyorrhexis and the other contents changed. In theFuming granule group, the transect of optic nerve which arranged densely had large area, and most of the axon had a normal structure. The decreases in stress at 7 200 s and stress relaxation were as folows: normal control group > fuming granule group > model group (P < 0.05). Results confirmed that Chinese medicineFuming granule accelerates the recovery of axoplasm of injured optic nerve, restores the morphology of axons, and contributes to the recovery of injured optic nerve.

Lung ultrasound has been proven to have high sensitivity and specificity in the application of lung diseases, and significantly reduces the radiation exposure of children, especially in newborns, which makes it widely used in diagnosis, treatment and prognosis of childhood disease.In emergency and intensive care units, lung ultrasound can even replace chest radiographs as a routine examination method for chest lesions.However, the research of children′s lung ultrasound still falls behind the development of adult ultrasound, and there is a lack of standard procedures and specifications for children′s lung ultrasound.Therefore, this study mainly reviewed the research status of children′s lung ultrasound.

BACKGROUND:In recent years, great progress has been achieved in the mechanical and viscoelastic properties of arterial blood vessels of normal human corpses and animals. OBJECTIVE: To quantitatively analyze the tensile mechanical properties of thoracic aorta in normaly fed spontaneously hypertensive rats and salt-loaded spontaneously hypertensive rats. METHODS: Twenty spontaneously hypertensive rats were obtained and randomly divided into experimental and control groups (n=10/group). Rats in the experimental group were subjected to continuous salt loading intervention for 16 weeks. Rats in the control group were fed with normal diet and ordinary tap water. At the 16th week, 10 specimens of thoracic aorta of rats from these two groups were harvested to conduct stress relaxation experiments.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The decrease in stress at 7 200 seconds and the decrease in normalized stress relaxation function value at 7 200 seconds of thoracic aortic specimens of rats in experimental group were both lower than those in the control group (P< 0.05). These results confirm that the stress relaxation properties of thoracic aorta of normaly fed and salt-loaded spontaneously hypertensive rats change, wherein the changes in salt-loaded spontaneously hypertensive rats are more obvious.

Objective: To evaluate the relationship between the levels of serum uric acid (SUA) and prevalence of coronary artery disease (CAD) by Meta analysis. Methods: We searched the databases of Pub Med, Elsevier and Web of Science for internationally published cohort study for the relationship between SUA levels and CAD prevalence and conducted a general analysisby using Stata software. Results: A total of 11 cohort study including 463,918 subjects were enrolled in this study. For both male and female genders, increase SUA level was the risk factor for CAD occurrence (RR=1.11, 95% CI 1.00-1.24) and (RR=1.24, 95% CI 1.15-1.34). Dose-response Meta-analysis indicated that by 1 mg/dl SUA elevation, the risk of CAD occurrence would increase 4.8% in male and 12.4% in female, the risk in female gender was higher than male. Conclusion: SUA level has been closely related to CAD prevalence.

Object To analyze the rDNA ITS sequences between wi ld plants and cultivars of Trapa L. and study the utility in p hylogenesis and identification of these two groups. Methods The ITS gene fragments were PCR amplified and sequenced. The rDNA ITS regions w ere analyzed by means of the software of Clustal and Mega 2.0. Result s The rDNA sequences of 234-236 bp ITS1, 220-221 bp ITS2 gene fragment , and 5.8 S rDNA for 164 bp evenly were obtained from ten populations of Trapa L. The intraspecific substitution varies from 0.22% to 2. 94%. The variable sites are 16 while informative sites are six. The phylogenet ic tree based on ITS data was set up by NJ method. Conclusion ITS sequence is a pretty good molecular marker which can identify wild plants of Trapa L. from their cultivars. Diversity of ITS in differen t populations is less at intraspecific level. It is infered that the plants of Trapa L. may be derived from the same population of one species .

Objective To construct short hairpin RNA (shRNA) recombinant expression vector for herpes simplex virus typeⅡ(HSV-2) UL29 gene and observe its inhibitory effect on HSV-2. Methods Four interference target sites of HSV-2UL29 gene were selected to construct 4 groups of small hairpin RNA respectively,named shRNA recombinant expression vector. The expression vectors were transfected into HEK293 cells with liposome. HEK293 cells were infected with HSV-2 after expression vector being transfected. The viral titer was estimated by end-point titration assay. The level of transcription was estimated by Real-Time PCR method. The expressing effect of protein was detected by Western-blot. Results Recombinant expression vector pGPU6/GFP/Neo-shRNA was constructed successfully. The result of end-point titration assay showed that the viral titer was reduced comparing with blank control (P<0.05). The result of RT-PCR showed that inhibition rates were respectively 28.80%, 59.95%, 66.08%and 36.27% comparing with blank control, and there were significant differences (P < 0.05). The effect of UL29shRNA1461 group was the best one. The result of Western-blot showed that the expressing quantity of ICP8 was reduced. Conclusion Recombinant expression vector pGPU6/GFP/Neo-shRNA can interfere HSV-2 UL29 gene expression from different cell level in vitro, which can inhibit the replication of HSV-2 genome in HEK293 cells. Thus, RNA interference (RNAi) is conducive to the further exploration of viral therapy.
