The beta-secretase is one of prospective targets against Alzheimer's disease (AD). A three-dimensional quan titative structure-activity relationship (3D-QSAR) model of Hydroethylamines (HEAs) as beta-secretase inhibitors was established using Topomer CoMFA. The multiple correlation coefficient of fitting, cross validation and external validation were r2 = 0.928, q(loo)2 = 0.605 and r(pred)2 = 0.626, respectively. The 3D-QSAR model was used to search R groups from ZINC database as the source of structural fragments. As a result, a series of R groups with relatively high activity contribution was obtained to design a total of 15 new compounds, with higher activity than that of the template molecule. The molecular docking was employed to study the interaction mode between the new compounds as ligands and beta-secretase as receptors, displaying that hydrogen bond and hydrophobicity played important roles in the binding affinity between the new compounds and beta-secretase. The results showed that Topomer CoMFA and To pomer Search could be effectively used to screen and design new molecules of HEAs as beta-secretase inhibitors, and the designed compounds could provide new candidates for drug design targeting AD.

Objective The scale lists applied in the diagnosis and treatment of heat stroke generally draw on other specialty scales, and there is no specific scoring system on heat stroke verified by large-scale clinical trials.The paper compared common acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ( APACHEⅡ) , dissolved inorganic carbon score( DIC score) , multiple organ dysfunction score( MOD score) for the prognostic evaluation of heat stroke patients, the sum of three scores and the sum of the percentages of three scores to the score sum on prognostic evaluation of heat stroke patients in order to find a scoring method with higher clinical value. Methods APACHEⅡ, MOD score, DIC score, the sum of three scores and the sum of three scores were applied on 43 patients with heat stroke admitted in our neurological intensive care unit ( NICU) or in intensive care unit ( ICU) .The analysis of the area under the receiver operating characteristic ( ROC) curve( AUC) analysis was made among five scores. Results The weighted sum of three scores has the largest AUC ( 0.896 ) in predicting the death of HS patients according to AUC.The optimal MOD score was 5.5 in predicting the death of HS with a sensitivity of 72.7%and a specifici-ty of 99.69%.The optimal DIC score was 1.5 in predicting the death of HS with a sensitivity of 100%and a specificity of 56.2%.The op-timal score of the sum of the percentages of three scores to the score sum was 0.727 in predicting the death of HS with a sensitivity of 72.7%and a specificity of 100%. Conclusion All the five scores can predict the prognosis of patients with heat stroke.However, due to the deficiency in the prognosis value, a more specific scoring system needs to be developed.

Objective To investigate the different influencing on the healing of anastomotic stoma between two kinds of alimentary canal reconstruction after laparoscopic radical resection of low rectal cance.Methods The clinical data of July 2013 -January 2016 suffering from stage Ⅱ -Ⅲ low rectal cancer and in our hospital underwent laparoscopic colorectal cancer radical surgery patients was retrospectively analyzed.Through accessing to medical records,the patients of diabetes,hypoproteinemia,malnutrition,preoperative uncorrectable cases and received neoadjuvant therapy were excluded.More than a total of 59 cases were enrolled,34 cases of them received traditional alimentary canal reconstruction(traditional group,including 26 cases of low rectal cancer,8 cases of super low rectal cancer,also 21 cases of them in stageⅡand 13 cases in stage Ⅲ),25 cases of them received anal anastomosis resection (including 18 cases of low rectal cancer,7 cases of super low rectal cancer,also 20 cases of them in stage Ⅱ and 5 cases in stageⅢ).Results In the traditional group,1case of 34 patients with anastomotic leakage,3 cases of anastomotic bleeding, while in the improved group,2cases of 25 patients with anastomotic leakage,2 cases of anastomotic bleeding.There was no significant difference in the incidence of anastomotic leakage and anastomotic bleeding between the two groups (3cases vs.2cases,1case vs.2cases,χ2 =0.13,0.75,all P >0.05).All cases did not occur in patients with anastomotic stenosis,and all patients were cured and discharged.Conclusion Each of the two methods have their advantages and disadvantages.Through preoperative,intraoperative evaluation of tumor status,reasonable choice of tumor treatment and anastomosis,is more conducive to postoperative recovery.

Objective To explore the value of serum IgA,serum C3 and IgA/C3 ratio in the diagnosis and clinical monitoring of IgA nephropathy,which provide new insight for the alternatives of renal biopsy. Methods In the first affiliated hospital of Dalian Medical University,60 patients with IgAN,60 patients with non-IgAN and 40 healthy people were detected by blood biochemical indexes and immune indexes,such as the Urea,serum IgA and serum C3,IgA/C3 ratio. According to the healthy condition and Lee grading,we divided all the 160 patients into different groups. By comparing the blood biochemical indexes and immune indexes among these different groups,we investigated the relationship between the serum IgA/C3 ratio and the IgAN.Results Firstly,the level of serum IgA and IgA/C3 were obviously different among the patients with IgAN,patients with non-IgAN and healthy people(P<0.01).Secondly,the serum IgA and IgA/C3 have high specificity and sensitivity when distin-guishing between IgAN and non IgAN. Thirdly,the level of serum IgA and IgA/C3 have significant deference be-tween the patients with Lee Ⅰ-Ⅱ grading and the patients with Lee Ⅲ-Ⅴ grading,while the level of C3 is very similar between different groups in all the three situations mentioned above. Conclusion Our research provides stronge evidence demonstrates that the level of serum IgA/C3 ratio have close relationship with IgAN and they can serve as the reference index when diagnosising and grading IgAN.
