A BASIC program was written to analyse the data from radioreceptor assay by microcomputer. Concentrations of ligand, total binding, nonspecific binding, specific binding and the ratio of specific binding (number of receptor sites) to free ligand content were calculated for each point. The receptor binding affinity constant and binding capacity were obtained by Sca-tchard analysis. Results and graphs can be displayed on the screen and/ or printed out by using a graphic printer

Aim To examine the effect of Nampt over-expression on cardiac hypertrophy,and elucidate the role of NF-κB.Methods The cultured neonatal car-diomyocytes were pretreated with 100 μmol · L-1 PE or transfected with Nampt.The mRNA and protein ex-pression of Nampt were determined by Real-time PCR and Western blot respectively.The cardiomyocyte hy-pertrophy was monitored by measuring cell-surface area and the mRNA levels of ANP and BNP,which were biomarkers of hypertrophic response.Moreover,we te-sted the effects of Nampt on NF-κB-dependent tran-scription activity through luciferase reporter gene as-says.Results Nampt overexpression significantly in-creased cardiomyocyte surface area and the mRNA ex-pression of ANP and BNP.In addition,Nampt overex-pression could markedly increase NF-κB-dependent transcription activity. Moreover, when p65 was knocked down,cardiomyocytes with Nampt overexpres-sion could not induce cardiac hypertrophy.Conclusion
Overexpression of Nampt induces cardiac hypertro-phy by increasing NF-κB-dependent transcription activ-ity.

Objective:
To analysis the epidemic and spatial characteristics of pesticide poisoning in Quzhou during 2013-2017, and to provide scientific basis for the prevention and control of influenza in Quzhou in the future.
Methods:
The incidence data of pesticide poisoning from January 1, 2013 to December 31, 2017 in Quzhou collected from China Information System For Disease Control And Prevention. The descriptive analysis conducted by using SPSS18.0 software, and the Sa T Scan 9.2 software was used to complete space-time scan. Finally, ArcMap10.2 software was used to visualize the results.
Results:
There were 1819 cases of pesticide poisoning in Quzhou from 2007 to 2016, among which 298 cases were reported for productive poisoning, the incidence peak was from August to September, the highest number of patients in productive poisoning was in the age group of 46-60 years old and over 61 years old, with 109 patients in each group, and the number of male patients was significantly higher than that of female (χ2=63.857,

Objective:
To understand the internship of students majoring in preventive medicine in 6 colleges and universities in China, and provide reference suggestions for the improvement of internship arrangement.
Methods:
By using the method of combined clustering and convenient sampling, the fifth grades students majoring in preventive medicine in six universities in the eastern, central and western China were surveyed by using questionnaires to collect the information of their attitudes (to) and suggestions for clinical and public health internships.
Results:
A total of 596 students were surveyed. In terms of the benefits of clinical internship and public health internship, students who thought that the internship was fruitful accounted for >88
