Mitochondria isolated from rat heart was used to study the protective effect of DS-182 against free radical damage, which was resulted from FeSO_4/Ascorbic acid. It was found that free radicals decreased the H~+-ATPase activity of mitochondria significantly, however, DS-182 inhibited this anti H~+-ATPase activity induced by free radicals (P

Objective To evaluate of the disability adjusted life years (DALY) and its influencing factors in patients with epilepsy.Methods Eight hundred and seventy-four cases with epilepsy were investigated in 9 pilot sites in Henan province.Make up the life expectancy of residents in Henan province for the DALY estimates.Using the R 2.10.0 software,the quality-adjusted life years and its influencing factors were analyzed by univariate and multivariate analyzes.Results There was 16.64 per capita loss of all cases of epilepsy DALY,and DALY loss value was 3.41 per 1000 populations.Comprehensive intervention and no sense of control group patients were per capita DALY loss of 8.56 person-years and 24.19 person-years respectively.There was significant difference between the two groups DALY loss (Z =23.146,P ＜ 0.01).Moreover,non-conditional Logistic regression equation was also statistically significant (x2 =365.83,P ＜ 0.01).Age,duration,seizure frequency,compliance,and anxiety situation were the main factors of the disease burden.Conclusions In the future,enhanced interventions should be focused on the priority groups and the modifiable factors.Additionally,the ‘standard treatment + follow-up management and health education + psychological intervention' should be strengthened as a primary means of comprehensive intervention.

OBJECTIVE In this study,nine different levels of known teratogenic embryos toxic com-pounds (aceta minophen,methi mazole,indo metacin,methotrexate,ascorbic acid,isoniazid,penicillin G,saccharin ,5-fluorouracil )were used to validate the established evaluation method of zebrafish e mbryo develop mental toxicity in our laboratory via zebrafish e mbryonic develop ment toxicity tests. METHODS By water bath method,zebrafish embryos of post-fertilization 2 h (2 hpf)were exposed to different concentrations of compounds.Observe and record the nu mber of malformations and dead e mbryo in 24,48,72,144 hpf.After three parallel experiments,get EC50 ,LC50 through software and calculate the teratogenic indices (TI =LC50 /EC50 )of the positive drug and recorded it as teratogens.If there is no teratogenic index recorded it as non-teratogens.Co mpare the results with the existing animal experiments and clinical trials to obtain the sensitivity and specificity.RESULTS Based on the results, exposure to aceta minophen (TI =2.07),methi mazole (TI =2.91 ),indo methacin (TI =1 .67),5-flu-orouracil (TI =8.31 ),methotrexate (TI =1 .31 ),showed various levels of teratogenic effects,and the corresponding TI′s were calculated.Methi mazole appeared more obvious skeletal deformities;indo m-ethacin toxicity is mainly reflected in abnormal heart,blood circulation and other endpoints;5-FU at lower doses that result in higher mortality rates,but also took place over the lacking of pig mentation;aceta min-ophen for the heart,liver and other target organ toxicity,pericardial cyst;methotrexate appears signifi-cant so mites,skeletal deformity.Since the IT′s for ascorbic acid,isoniazid,penicillin G,saccharin can-not be calculated,these compounds are considered to show negative results,indicating that the data fro m the nine compounds in zebrafish test are consistent with traditional animal experiments and clinical information,the sensitivity of 100% and specificity of 100%.CONCLUSION Though validation test,it has been de monstrated that the established zebrafish embryos develop mental toxicity evaluation method can be applied to early screening of drug toxicity.

Tumor surface antigen human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (Her2) is a type I receptor tyrosine kinase, which belongs to human epidermal growth factor receptor family. Her2-overexpression is associated with tumorigenesis and metastasis. Due to significant clinical effects, Her2-targeted cancer therapy especially therapeutic antibody has become the hot spot in the field of cancer treatment. Anti-Her2 antibody drugs include monoclonal antibodies, antibody-drug conjugates, bispecific antibodies and emerging "two in one" antibody. Based on structure and function of Her2, this review focuses on recent advances in active mechanisms and clinical researches of these antibodies.

The Baculoviridae are a large family of enveloped DNA viruses exclusively pathogenic to arthropods. Baculoviruses have been extensively used in insect cell-based recombinant protein expression system and as biological pesticides. They have been deomostrated to be safe to mammals, birds and fish. Recently, baculoviruses has been shown to transduce different mammalian cells in spite of the fact that they cannot replicate in mammalian cells (11, 73, 76). This has resulted in the development of baculoviruses as mammalian expression systems and even as vestors for gene therapy.

An evaluation scale of medical services quality was developed on the basis of "patients' experience". The questionnaires were developed by, among others, searching relevant literature, collecting well-established assessment scales, measuring patients' experience and satisfaction, brain-storming, literature analysis. Delphi method was adopted for expert consultation. Scale items were screened and revised. The key indexes were converted. Field surveys were conducted for testing the reliability and validity of the scale. Our modified evaluation scale for measuring medical services quality based on "patients' experience" included 6 dimensions (tangibility, reliability, responsiveness, assurance, empathy and continuity), and 50 items. The novel scale based on "patients' experience" may better serve the purpose of assessing medical services quality.

BACKGROUND:With the diversification of the choice of internal fixation for femoral intertrochanteric fracture, the fixation method for the same kind of fracture can be selected according to surgeon’s habit, and there is no unified standard. OBJECTIVE:To compare Gamma nail and proximal femoral locking plate fixation for repair of femoral intertrochanteric fractures. METHODS: A total of 94 elderly patients with unstable intertrochanteric fractures were treated in the Shanxi Armed Police Corps Hospital from April 2009 to September 2012. They were divided into two groups according to fixation methods. Gamma nail group contained 46 cases. Proximal femoral locking plate group contained 48 cases. The two fixation methods were compared and analyzed from the folowing aspects: incision length, intraoperative bleeding volume, operation time, postoperative hip function recovery, loading time and complications. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Incision length, intraoperative bleeding volume, loading time and complications were better in the Gamma nail group than in the proximal femoral locking plate group (P < 0.05). No significant difference in operation time was detected between the two groups (P > 0.05). The excelent and good rate of hip function was 96% (44/46) in the Gamma nail group and 92% (44/48) in the proximal femoral locking plate group at 1 year after treatment, and no significant difference was detectable between the two groups (P > 0.05). These findings suggest that Gamma nail and proximal femoral anatomic locking plate for the treatment of unstable intertrochanteric fractures can reach good recovery of hip function, but Gamma nail showed obvious advantages in incision length, intraoperative bleeding volume, loading time and complications.
