Objective:To analyze the immunocontraceptive efficacy of CZP3 DNA vaccine by electric pulse stimulating and the correlation between antibody level and antifertility. Methods: The mice were immunized with 5, 10, 20 and 50 μg DNA vaccine pcDNA3. 0-CZP3 respectively and were stimulated at leg muscle by electric pulse. Detect the antibody level of each mice group and the highest antibody titer by ELISA. After mated with male mice for three weeks,calculated infertility rate of mice,the average litter size of each immune group and did statistical analysis. Results:Compared with the intramuscular injection alone,the electric pulse stimulation could increase serum antibody titers of mice significantly, the antibody titer of 50 μg group which was stimulated by electric pulse reached 1∶4 000. Moreover,the infertility of the mice increased and the mice average litter size reduced along with the increase of CZP3 antibody level significantly. Statistical analysis showed that the antibody level and the average litter size had a negative correlation. Conclusion:The electric pulse stimulation can improve the immune level and reduce the fertility efficiency of mice significantly,therefore establishes a foundation for further application of CZP3 DNA vaccine in stray dog contraception.

Objective To observe the changes in transfer rates of epigoitrin, forsythoside A and forsythin in Ganmao Tuire Granules prescription medicinal materials by water decoction extraction, vacuum concentration and atmospheric concentration.Methods Prescription medicinal materials fromGanmao Tuire Granules were decocted in water and the decoction was condensed by vacuum and atmospheric concentration process. The contents of epigoitrin, forsythoside A and forsythin at different states were measured by HPLC for transfer rates.Results The transfer rates of epigoitrin, forsythoside A and forsythin were 72.97%, 29.27%, 72.84%, respectively after decocted in water. The RSD of epigoitrin, forsythoside A and forsythin were less than 2% in the process of vacuum concentration. The transfer rates of epigoitrin, forsythoside A and forsythin by atmospheric concentration decreased by 13.51%, 7.38% and 4.24% respectively compared with vacuum concentration when concentrated to the same state.Conclusion The method for simultaneous determination of epigoitrin, forsythoside A and forsythin by HPLC has been established.

Objective:To explore the effect of Angelica Sinensis Volatile Oil on the mi RNA expression profiling in myocardium tissue of the spontaneously hypertensive rats (SHRs),and to clarify the possible mechanism of Angelica Sinensis Volatile Oil.Methods:All the SHRs were divided into Angelica group,model group and captopril group,and other Wistar rats with the same age were selected as control group.The non-invasive systolic blood pressure was detected;after 4 weeks of administration,the changes of miRNA expression profiling in myocardium tissue were measured by Affymetrix miRNA 4.0 Array.KEGG analysis was used to identify the target genes. Results:Compared with control group,the systolic blood pressure of the rats in model group was significantly decreased (P < 0.05)before treatment.4 weeks after administration,compared with model group,the systolic blood pressure of the rats in Angelica group was significantly decreased (P <0.05).Compared with model group, 29 differential miRNAs of rats in Angelica group were found (P < 0.05 ), with 13 up-regulated miRNAs and 16 down-regulated miRNAs.The KEGG analysis results showed that miR-19a,let-7i,and miR-181c were related to insulin signaling pathways; let-7i, miR-181a, and miR-455 were related to VEGF signaling pathways;miR-122,miR-181a, miR-200b, miR-181c, let-7i, and miR-19a were related to apoptosis (P < 0.05 ). Conclusion:Angelica Sinensis Volatile Oil can decrease the blood pressure in SHRs and it can regulate the blood pressure by regulating the miRNA related to insulin signaling pathways and VEGF signaling pathways.

Objective To investigate the levels of cancer related fatigue (CRF) and the correlations between CRF and serum inflammatory factors and hypothalamus-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis in patients with gastrointestinal cancer.Methods The CRF level was assessed by brief fatigue inventory (BFI).The level of C-reactive protein (CRP) was measured by immunoturbidimetry, and the level of cortisol was measured by electrochemiluminesence.The levels of interleukin (IL)-6, IL-1β, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and norepinephrine (NE) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The average total score of CRF was 3.15±1.93, and the degree was mild to moderate, which was positively correlated with the CRP (r=0.321, P=0.000), TNF-α (r=0.265, P=0.000), NE (r=0.174, P=0.015) and ACTH (r=0.257, P=0.000), but was not correlated with the cortisol (r=0.033, P=0.652).Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) score (t=8.081, P=0.000), education (t=-4.244, P=0.000), treatment (t=4.563, P=0.000), time from diagnosis to sampling (t=3.453, P=0.001) and CRP (t=2.837, P=0.006) were important factors of CRF.Conclusion The CRF status is common in gastrointestinal cancer patients.The CRF is correlated with the NE and ACTH of HPA axis.Medical staff should pay attention to the inflammatory factors and hormone levels to improve the fatigue status and the quality of patients.

Objective: To explore the relationship between different temperature indicators and hospital admission for childhood pneumonia. Methods: The hospital admissions for pneumonia in children aged 0-14 years and meteorological data in Ningbo from 2015 to 2017 were collected. A distributed lag non-linear model combined with a generalized linear model was employed to analyze the exposure-response relationships between different temperature indicators（daily average,minimum and maximum temperature;the first percentile as low temperature and the 99th percentile as high temperature）and hospital admission for childhood pneumonia. Results: A total of 4 542 cases of childhood pneumonia were recruited. There were obvious seasonal fluctuations found in the inpatient volume of childhood pneumonia,which peaked in winter and bottomed in summer. After adjusting for potential confounding variables such as relative humidity,PM2.5,long term trend and seasonal trend,the results suggested that after exposed to whether low or high temperature,the inpatient volume of childhood pneumonia would increase. When the daily average temperature and daily minimum temperature were employed,the effect of high temperature on the increase of inpatient volume for childhood pneumonia was statistically significant and the cumulative relative risk for a lag of 0-7 days were 1.52（95%CI：1.04-2.23）and 1.59（95%CI：1.08-2.34）,respectively. When the daily maximum temperature was employed,the effect of low temperature on the increase of inpatient volume for childhood pneumonia was statistically significant and the cumulative relative risk for a lag of 0-7 days were 1.30（95%CI：1.02-1.66）. Conclusion Our findings suggested that an increased risk of hospital admission for childhood pneumonia was associated with both low and high temperature.

Objective To develop an Modified Early Warning Score (MEWS) table suitable for professional characteristics and to predict the occurrence of complications in the percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods This is a retrospective study. PCI patients in catheter room of Qingdao International Center Hospital from July to December, 2015 and July to December, 2016 were selected as the research object. The former was set as the control group, and the latter as the experimental group, traditional MEWS and modified MEWS were applied in the two groups respectively. The incidence of complications were compared between two groups. Results The incidence rates of cardiac arrest, drop of blood pressure, arrhythmia, slow blood flow or no complex flow, perforation, interlayer were 0.83％(3/362), 0.55％ (2/362), 0.55％ (2/362), was 0.55％ (2/362), 2.21％ (8/362) , 4.42％ (16/362) , and were 2.51％(9/358), 5.31％(19/358), 8.66％(31/358) , 3.07％(11/358) , 2.51％(9/358) , 2.79％(10/358) in the control group, the differences were statistically significant (χ2= 4.603-5.302, P<0.05). Conclusions The MEWS score of PCI can be used to predict the occurrence of complications in PCI, and for the patients with MEWS score above 5, they should be given medical and nursing intervention in order to reduce the complications in the operation.
