Objective To explore the effect of clinical application of self-starting devices in patients after major abdominal surgery. Methods From January 2007 to June 2009, 90 patients with major abdominal surgery were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 45 patients in each.

Polyacrylamide resin was synthesized via surface-initiated atom transfer radical polymerization ( SI-ATRP) method. Acrylic amide ( AM) was grafted onto the surface of the chloromethyl polystyrene resin via SI-ATRP in the CuBr/2, 2'-bipyridine ( Bpy) system as catalyst at room temperature. The compositions of polyacrylamide resin were determined by means of elementary analysis, FT-IR analysis and scanning electron microscopy ( SEM) . The adsorption properties, the parameters of kinetics and the thermodynamics of the resin were evaluated in details, respectively. As the results, adsorption capacity of 2,4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid (2,4-D) increased with the initial concentrations of solution increasing at room temperature, and its highest adsorption capacity was 111. 0 mg/g with solution concentration of 8 mmol/L. Adsorption isotherm at room temperature was determined and modeled with Langmuir and Freundlich equations. The thermodynamic equilibrium functions were calculated to be ΔG<0,ΔH=268. 2 kJ/mol, ΔS>0, hence, the adsorption was spontaneous, endothermic and entropy increasing. The kinetics fitted the pseudo-second-order well. The polyacrylamide-chloromethyl polystyrene (PAM-CMCPS) resin was used for the adsorption of 2,4-D in orange sample, and good results were obtained.

Objective:To evaluate the immunogenicity of a quadrivalent influenza virus subunit vaccine in a healthy population aged 3-64 years.Methods:Healthy people aged 3-64 years old were selected as the study subjects, and a randomized, blind, positive controlled, non-inferiority test was adopted. The subjects were randomly inoculated with one dose of the corresponding experimental vaccine or control vaccine in a ratio of 1∶1. Blood samples were collected from all subjects before and at 28 d after immunization, and hemagglutination inhibition (HI) test was used to measure the levels of antibodies against H1N1, H3N2, B/Victoria (BV) and B/Yamagata (BY) in serum. The geometric mean titers (GMT), geometric mean increase (GMI), positive conversion rates and protection rates of antibodies against the four types of viruses were analyzed.Results:A total of 2 157 subjects aged 3-64 years were included, including 1 074 in the experimental group and 1 083 in the control group. There were no significant differences in the GMT or protection rates of antibodies against H1N1, H3N2, BV or BY before immunization between the two groups ( P>0.05), and the two groups were balanced at baseline. After full immunization, the GMI of antibodies to H1N1, H3N2, BV and BY in the experimental group was 11.16, 17.77, 9.61 and 15.13, respectively; the positive conversion rates were 84.08% (903/1 074), 92.46% (993/1 074), 86.03% (924/1 074) and 91.71% (985/1 074), respectively; the protection rates were 96.74% (1 039/1 074), 97.58% (1 048/1 074), 88.08% (946/1 074) and 94.97% (1 020/1 074), respectively. In the experimental group, the GMT of each antibody increased by more than 2.5 times after immunization; the lower limit of the 95%CI of the positive conversion rate was higher than 40%, and the lower limit of the 95%CI of the protection rate was higher than 70%. The lower limit of the 95%CI of the difference in the positive conversion rate of each antibody between the experimental group and the control group was >-10%, and the lower limit of the 95%CI for GMT (experimental group)/GMT (control group) was over 2/3. Conclusions:The experimental vaccine had good immunogenicity and was non-inferior to the control vaccine in the population aged 3-64 years.

MicroRNA (miRNA) is a non-coding small molecule RNA, which is involved in the occu-rrence and development of tumor as an oncogene or tumor suppressor gene. The abnormal expression of many kinds of miRNAs in hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) can directly or indirectly act on PI3K, Akt, mTOR, IGF-1R, TGF-β and other signal molecules in mTOR signal pathway, they are crucial in the appreciation, invasion and metastasis of HCC cells.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of Xiaoke drink on insulin resistance in ob/ob mice and explore the mechanism. MethodEighteen ob/ob mice were randomly assigned into model, Xiaoke drink (17.68 g·kg-1), and atorvastatin (0.01 g·kg-1) groups (n=6), and six C57BL/6 mice were selected as the normal group. Mice in the normal and model groups were administrated with the same amount of distilled water. Fasting body weight, weekly food intake, and weekly water intake were measured at a fixed time. Fasting plasma glucose (FPG) and 2-hour post-load plasma glucose (2 hPG) were measured before and after 8-week intervention. After intervention, total cholesterol (TC), triglyceride (TG), fasting insulin (FINS), Homeostasis Model Assessment-Insulin Resistance (HOMA-IR), blood routine, and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) were measured. Western blot was employed to determine the expression levels of ubiquitin-specific protease 20 (USP20) and 3-hydroxy-3-methylglutaryl coenzyme A reductase (HMGCR) in the liver. The pancreas was stained with hematoxylin-eosin for observation. ResultCompared with the model group, the Xiaoke drink group showed decreased body weight of ob/ob mice (P<0.05, P<0.01), declined growth trend of body weight (P<0.05, P<0.01), reduced weekly average water intake, lowered levels of FPG, 2 hPG, TC, and HOMA-IR (P<0.05, P<0.01), and down-regulated expression level of USP20 in the liver (P<0.05). HMGCR content was positively correlated with USP20 expression. In addition, Xiaoke drink promoted the recovery of islet tissue morphology and function in ob/ob mice. ConclusionXiaoke drink can ameliorate insulin resistance in ob/ob mice by inhibiting USP20/HMGCR expression, reversing cholesterol biosynthesis process, and reducing cholesterol level.
