Objective:To study e ects of Saikosaponin a(SSa) on tumour necrosis factor-alpha(TNF-?) release and its receptor expression in cultured hippocampal astrocytes induced by pentylenetetrazol(PTZ).Methods:The in vitro cultured primary hippocampal astrocytes were randomly divided into control group(group A),PTZ-induced group(group B)PTZ10mmol/L+SSa groups(group C and group D,the SSa concentrations were 1.25mg/L and 0.625mg/L respectively).The extracellular uid TNF-? level and the expression of tumour necrosis factor receptor type 1(TNFR1) in hippocampal astrocytes were respectively detected by ELISA and Western-blot after PTZ-induced 2 hours.Results:the TNF-? level and TNFR1 expression of group B were signi cantly higher than that of group A,group C and group D(P

Genuine medicinal materials with special characteristics of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), is recognized as high quality medicine. Both ancient records and modern research considered that the origin is an important reason for the formation of genuine medicinal materials. However, blindly transplanting of genuine medicinal materials has led to the quality decline and counterfeit medicines appeared in production or sale progress, which may increase the risk of accidents in TCM. Frequent accidents emerged in Chinese herbal affects its export. What's more, it is a great threat to the medication safety in TCM clinical. There is an urgent need to implement traceability systems of TCM, which could provide convenient information record and traceability of TCM circulation. This paper reviews a variety of technical methods for genuine medicinal materials traceability, and proposed the establishment of genuine medicinal materials traceability system based on two-dimensional code and network database.

Objective To investigate the potential relationship between initial 131Ⅰ uptake by lung metastases from differentiated thyroid cancer (DTC) and treatment outcomes. Methods From 1997 to 2009, 41 patients with DTC lung metastases were treated in the authors' department. 131Ⅰ whole body scan (WBS), serum Tg levels and other imaging results were analyzed to evaluate the therapeutic effects. Complete response (CR) or partial response (PR) was considered to be effective. The x2 test and correlation analysis were performed using SPSS 11.5 software package. Results 131 Ⅰ treatment was effective in 63% (26/41) patients with DTC lung metastases, CR in 8 patients and PR in 18 patients. In other 37% ( 15/41 ) patients, 131Ⅰ treatment was ineffective, including one case died of distant metastases. Patients with initial presence of 131Ⅰ lung uptake had higher effective rate than those with 131Ⅰ lung uptake during the second or later 131Ⅰ treatment (76% (22/29)vs33% (4/12),x2 =4.911, P=0.027). Also, significantly higher effective rate was found in patients with lung metastases alone than those with extra-pulmonary metastases (75% (24/32) vs 22% (2/9), x2 = 6. 312, P =0.012). However, the effective rate in patients with diffuse metastases was not significantly different from that in patients with focal metastases (67% (12/18)vs 61% ( 14/23), x2 =0. 146, P=0.702). The positive rate of initial 131Ⅰ uptake by lung metastases was higher in patients with total thyroidectomy than those with partial thyroidectomy (83% (24/29) vs 42% (5/12) ). Those positive rates in patients with papilary DTC and patients with follicular DTC were 72% (23/32) and 6/9, respectively. The surgical mode was correlated with the initial 131Ⅰ uptake by lung metastases (r = 0.411, P < 0.05), but no correlation was found between the histological type and the initial 131Ⅰ uptake by lung metastases ( r = 0. 047, P > 0.05 ). Conclusion Initial uptake of 131 Ⅰ by lung metastases alone is a favorable prognostic factor for DTC patients treated by131Ⅰ, and total thyroidectomy may be beneficial for initial 131Ⅰ uptake by lung metastases.

OBJECTIVETo establish osteoblast model, primary cilla model was removed by chloral hyrate, observe effects of osteoblast primary cilla moved on enhancing ALP staining and calcified nodules staining in electromagnetic field.
METHODSThree 3-day-old male SD rats weighed between 6 and 9 g were killed, cranial osteoblast was drawed and adherencing cultured respectively. Cells were subcultured and randomly divided into 4 groups until reach to fusion states. The four groups included chloral hydrate non-involved group (control group), 2 mM, 4 mM and 8 mM chloral hydrate group, and cultured in 37 °C, 5% CO2 incubator for 72 h. Morphology of primary cilla was observed by laser confocal scanning microscope, and incidence of osteoblast primary cilia was analyzed by Image-Pro Plus 6.0 software. Cells in the correct concentration group which can removed cillia most effectively were selected and divided into 3 groups, including control group (C), Electromagnetic fields group (EMFs), and EMFs with 4 mM chloral hydrate group. DMEM nutrient solution contained 10%FBS were added into three groups and cultured for 9 days and formation of ALP were observed by histochemical staining of alkaline phosphatase. After 12 days' cultivation, formation of mineralization nodes was observed by alizarin red staining.
RESULTSCompared with control group and 2mM chloral hydrate group,4 mM chloral hydrate group could effectively remove osteoblast primary cilla (P<0.01). Removal of osteoblast primary cilla could weaken the formation of ALP and mineralization nodes in osteoblast in EMFS. Compared with EMFs group, the area of ALP and mineralization nodes in EMFs with 4 mM chloral hydrate group were decreased obviously (P<0.01).
CONCLUSION4mM chloral hydrate could effectively remove osteoblast primary cilia. Primary cilla participate in EMFs promoting formation of ALP and mineralization nodes in osteoblast and provide new ideas for exploring mechanism of EMFs promoting osteoblast maturation and mineralization.

Objective To know the mental health of secondary nursing students in Xinjiang and provide evidence for the psychological intervention.Methods 309 secondary nursing students in one health school were investigated with the general questionnaire,SCL-90 and EPQ.Results Compulsive symptoms rate in SCL-90was highest,and accounted for 72.5%.Average score in SCL-90 was (2.08 ± 0.56),and higher than national norm ( 1.75 ± 0.67) (t =10.25,P < 0.01 ).Every factor score of SCL-90 about the secondary nurses was higher than the national norm,and had statistical difference (P < 0.01 ). The girls,scores of depression (2.13 ±0.73),anxiety (2.08 ±0.72) and terrorist ( 1.93 ±0.74) were higher than boys [( 1.60 ±0.33),( 1.66 ± 0.52),( 1.42 ± 0.37 ) ],and the difference was significant ( t =- 5.54,- 2.12,- 4.68 ; P <0.05).The Uygur secondary nursing students,scores of somatization,coercion,depression anxiety and psychosis were higher and they have statistical differences (P < 0.05 ).There is a direct correlation between all dimensions of SCL-90 and nervousness and psychoticism of EPQ (P < 0.05 ),and were negative correlation with dissimulation ( P < 0.05 ).Conclusions The mental health status of Xinjiang secondary nursing students are bad,so these students need to be paid more attention to their mental health,especially female nursing students and minority nationality nursing students.
