Background Cardiomyocytes apoptosis was related to oxidative stress which has been shown to play an important role in ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction(MI).Probucol is a hypolipidemic and antioxidant agents.Several reports demonstrated its cardioprotective effect after MI.However,the exact effect of probucol on the modification of the apoptosis related gene Bcl-2 and Bax is not clear.Objective To investigate the effects of probucol on mRNA and protein expression of Bcl-2,Bax and oxidative stress in myocardial infarcted rats.Methods Forty-one SD rats that survived 24 h after ligating left anterior descending coronary artery were randomly to receive placebo-saline(5 mL/d,n=20)or probucol(probucol 60 mg/kg?d,n=21).Twelve rats underwent sham operation were served as control(n=12).Six weeks after treatment,hemodynamic pararmeters and left ventricular function were measured with catheterization.Cardiomyocytes apoptosis were determined by TUNEL method.Myocardium mRNA of Bcl-2 and Bax expression levels in the non-infarcted myocardium were as- sessed by RT-PCR.The myocardium protein expression of Bcl-2 and Bax in the non-infarcted myocardium were de- termined by Western blot.Colorimetry was used to determine oxidative metabolism index in myocardium.Results 1)Compared with the sham rats,all MI rats showed marked decrease in Bcl-2 mRNA and protein expression in myo- cardium with increase of Bax mRNA and protein expression and apoptosis index(P

Objective To explore the rehabilitation needs of people with disabilities and the related factors,so as to provide a scien-tific basis for the rehabilitation policy-making for people with disabilities. Methods From June,2014 to July,2015,based on the national special survey of basic services and needs of people with disabilities in Jiangsu,China,this paper clarified the factors related with the rehabilitation needs of the disabled into the individual characteristics, economic characteristics, environmental characteristics and so on by the de-scriptive statistics method. The Logit model was established to explore the factors related with rehabilitation needs. Results In Jiangsu,43% people with disabilities aged 16 and above had rehabilitation needs.Contingency table analysis and Chi square test showed that individual characteristics,economic characteristics and environmental character-istics had significant impact on the rehabilitation needs of the disabled.Multiple regression analysis showed that all the 18 variables were the significant related factors. Conclusion In order to meet the rehabilitation needs of the disabled, the refined and precise rehabilitation program should be designed in line with the different characteristics of the disabled.Through the effective docking of sup-plies and needs,we can provide accurate rehabilitation services for the disabled.

To reveal the variation of polysaccharides and alcohol-soluble extract contents of Dendrobium officinale, the polysaccharides and alcohol-soluble extracts contents of three D. officinale strains were determined by phenol-sulfuric acid method and hot-dip method, respectively. The results showed that the contents of polysaccharides and alcohol-soluble extracts and their total content were significantly different among D. officinale samples collected in different periods, and the variations were closely related to the phenology of D. officinale. Additionally, the quality variation of polysaccharides was closely related to the flowering of D. officinale, while the alcohol-soluble extracts was closely associated to the formation and germination of buds. According to the dynamic variation of these two compounds, it is more reasonable to harvest D. officinale at biennials pre-bloom than at specific harvesting month considering polysaccharides content. It is better to harvest before the germination of buds considering alcohol-soluble extracts. While with regards to both polysaccharides and alcohol-soluble extract, it is better to harvest this plant at the period from the sprouting to pre-bloom next year.
