Diabetes mellitus (DM ) was the third largest chronic disease in the world and the number of patients in China ranked first. Diabetic nephropathy (DN ) as one of the most serious complications of DM was the main cause of death in DM patients along with the incidence of DM gradually increasing. The complex pathogenic mechanism of DN was composed of many factors such as the disorder of glucose metabolism ,inflammation and immune response. Under the special environment of the DM , autoimmunity was an important factor for the occurrence and development of DN. Immune cells ,cytokines and autoantibodies influenced each other resulting in impairment of renal function and affected the progression of DN. Further research on the immune related factors in DN and DM has important value for the prevention and treatment of these diseases.

Objective To analyze the genetic characteristics of H1N1 influenza viruses isolated in Shenzhen during 1995 to 2007. Methods The hemagglutinin(HA) gene of these viruses were sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences was performed with Simmonic and Mega software. Results The H1N1 influenza viruses isolated in Shenzhen from 1995 to 2007 were divided into chide A, B and C. Some viruses from 2005 to 2006 clustered in the same group with the viruses of 2001. Furthermore, some of the vaccine strains recommended by WHO were found lagged behind the strains isolated in Shenzhen. Some mu-tations occurred on the antigenic sites as well as receptor-binding site(RBS). Except the viruses of 1995, the other viruses had deleted at the site 137. Conclusion Characterization of the HA gene revealed that most of the amino acid substitutions occurred on the antigenic sites and RBS. Furthermore, it was discovered that the mutations occurred on different antigenic regions in different years.

Objective To study the prevalence and variation of influenza B viruses of Shenzhen. Methods Fifty strains influenza B viruses in Shenzhen from 1994 to 2006 were selected. HA1 gene were amplified by RT-PCR and sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis of HA1 was conducted by MEGA program. Results The influenza B viruses of Shenzhen were divided into Yamagata and Victoria lineage. The two lineages prevailed respectively in different years from 1994 to 2006. The variance of glycosylation site and some mutations of antigenic determinants were detected in the two lineages. Conclusion The viruses of Yamagata and Victoria lineage prevailed respectively in different years in Shenzhen but the mutation rates of the two lineages were slowly.

Objective To analyze neuraminidase(NA) inhibitor resistance of seasonal H1N1 influenza A viruses isolated in Shenzhen during 2008 to 2009. Methods The NA gene of these viruses were sequenced. Phylogenetic analysis of the sequences was performed with Mega3. 1 software. Results In 2008, most isolates of the seasonal H1 N1 virus were susceptible to neuraminidase inhibitors, but the H275Y mutation in the neuraminidase gene region associated with high-level oseltamivir resistance had been detected in 92.6% of the strains isolated in 2009. Furthermore, a strain with Q136K was found, which showed the resistance to Zanamivir. Conclusion In the light of emerging resistance, close monitoring and understanding of the nature and dynamics of resistance mutations in influenza virus should be a priority.

Objective To explore the value of two-dimensional strain echocardiography for quantitative assessing the change of regional left ventricular myocardial function in rats following acute myocardial infarction. Methods Sixty Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups. The study group consisted of 50 rats with occlusion of LAD for 30-45 minutes and the sham-operated group consisted of 10 rats without occlusion of LAD. Echocardiography were performed before operation, which was defined as baseline, and 1 week, 4 weeks and 8 weeks after operation. Left ventricular internal diameter at diastole ( LVIDd) and systole < LVIDs), fractional shortening( FS), ejection fraction (EF) and left ventricular mass(LVM) were measured by anatomical M-model echocardiography. High frame rate two-dimensional images were recorded in the left ventricular short-axis views at the papillary muscle level. Peak systolic radial strain(PRS) and circumferential strain(PCS) of each segment were measured using 2-dimensional strain software. The rats were sacrificed and the infarcted size of each segment was measured using triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) after echocardiography was performed. Fibrosis of left ventricular myocardium was displayed using Van Gieson stain in 1 weeks after infarction. Results Based on the TTC findings,the left ventricle of the study group was divided into three regions:infarcted,peri-infarct and remote myocardial regions. Van Gieson stain showed fibrosis existed in all the three regions. Compared with baseline and sham-operated group, PRS and PCS of infarcted, peri-infarct and remote myocardial regions of the study group significantly decreased within 1 week after operation ( P <0. 01) and persisted for 8 weeks. PCS and PRS of infarcted, peri-infarct and remote myocardial regions of the study group in 4 weeks and 8 weeks after operation showed no significant difference when compared with those in 1 week after operation ( P >0. 01). Compared with baseline and sham-operated group,LVIDd,LVIDs and LVM of study group all increased significantly ( P <0. 05) in 4 weeks and 8 weeks after operation,and FS and EF reduced significantly ( P <0. 05). Two-dimensional strain obtained in interobserver and intraobserver both showed high agreement. Conclusions Two-dimensional strain echocardiography can assess regional function of myocardium with different perfusion in rats following acute myocardial infarction, and provides a sensitive and reliable method to follow up the process of left ventricular remodeling after myocardial infarction.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of sharp kernel reconstructed images for calcified plaque coronary artery stenosis with a dual-source CT.Methods 42 patients with suspected coronary disease underwent dual-source coronary computed tomography angiography (CCTA) and coronary angiography (CAG).The CCTA images were respectively reconstructed by smooth kernel (I26f) and sharp kernel (I46f) reconstruction.The image noise, signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and contrast-to-noise ratio (CNR) were measured,and then the calcified plaque noise of two groups reconstructed image was scored subjectively.A total of 56 vascular stenoses that caused by calcification were taken as the research object,according to the results of CAG as a golden standard.The ROC curves of two groups were drawn with moderate stenosis (more than or equal to 50%) and severe stenosis (more than or equal to 75%), and the corresponding sensitivity, specificity, and optimal threshold were obtained.Results The images of I46f group had higher noise [I46f:(45.43±9.00) HU;I26f:(31.43±5.55) HU;t=-8.58,P=0.000],lower SNR [I46f:(10.26±2.09) HU;I26f:(14.86±3.53) HU;t=7.28,P=0.000] and lower CNR[I46f:(14.04±4.51) HU;I26f:(20.80±7.18) HU;t=5.17,P=0.000],but the subjective scoring of calcified plaque of I46f group was better than that of I26f group(I46f:2.33±0.75;I26f:1.64±0.70,Z=-4.61,P=0.000).The ROC curves of two groups: with moderate stenosis(≥50%),area under the I46f curve(0.946) was larger than that of I26f group (0.935);to diagnose with the reconstructed image of group I46f,the optimal threshold was 55%,the specificity was 95.0%,and sensitivity was 88.9%;and for I26f group,the optimal threshold was 65%, the specificity was 90%, and sensitivity was 88.9%.With severe stenosis(≥75%), area under the I46f curve (0.927) was slightly larger than that of I26f group (0.924);to diagnose with the reconstructed image of group I46f,the optimal threshold was 77.5%,the specificity was 79.1%,and sensitivity was 92.3%;for I26f group, the optimal threshold was 85%, the specificity was 74.4%,and the sensitivity was 100%.Conclusion The I46f reconstruction image of dual-source CT has more advantageous than the I26f reconstruction image,and it is a better way to diagnosethe calcified coronary stenosis.

Four salts of ticagrelor, ticagrelor-3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, ticagrelor-pyrazinamide, ticagrelor-D-proline and ticagrelor-L-proline were prepared by solvent suspension and liquid-assisted grinding to improve the solubility of ticagrelor. The compounds were characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, elemental analysis, and the intermolecular salt-bonding forces were analyzed. The equilibrium solubility of salts and pure drug in hydrochloride buffer pH 1.2 and phosphate buffer pH 6.8 were measured by high-performance liquid chromatography. Ticagrelor was salted with 3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid, pyrazinamide, D-proline, L-proline all in a stoichiometric ratio of 1∶1; with the exception of ticagrelor-D-proline, the solubility of the other three salts provided significantly improved solubility in hydrochloride buffer pH 1.2, and the equilibrium solubility of ticagrelor-3,5-dinitrobenzoic acid was increased by approximately 1.7 folds as compared to pure drug. Salt-forming technology is convenient and can improve the solubility of ticagrelor.

Objective: To analyze the clinical application of manual therapy (MT) to tumor-related adverse reactions via summarizing the research at home and abroad, in order to provide more theoretical evidence for the clinical promotion of MT. Methods: We searched 7 Chinese and English databases, including China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), Wanfang Academic Journal Full-text Database (Wanfang), Chongqing VIP Database (CQVIP), PubMed, Excerpta Medica Database (EMBASE), Ovid and EBSCO. The publication date was between the establishment date of the database and December 31, 2020. We screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, and then sorted and analyzed the selected information. Results: A total of 46 papers were analyzed. Most studies focused on the adverse reactions in breast cancer patients. MT interventions demonstrated the best efficacy for fatigue, followed by pain, depression and anxiety. In different MT interventions, Tuina (Chinese therapeutic massage) was mainly adopted for fatigue, pain, anxiety, depression, and limb dysfunctions. Acupoint pressing was mainly adopted for gastrointestinal and psychological problems such as abdominal bloating, insomnia, depression and anxiety. The application of reflexotherapy was similar to that of Tuina. Conclusion: MT can alleviate various adverse reactions by effectively relieving patients' somatic symptoms and improving their psychological states and overall functions. It can be popularized as a significant non-drug therapy. Currently, however, the clinical application of MT is neither extensive nor has sufficient basic research. Consequently, we should attach importance to this application.

Piroxicam has polymorphism. Different crystalline forms can exhibit different physicochemical properties and biological activities. Analysis of the intermolecular interactions is essential to reveal the formation mechanism and differences of polymorphs. In this paper, Hirshfeld surface analysis and semi-empirical methods were used to calculate and analyze the intermolecular interactions in seven polymorphic forms of piroxicam. The results show that the Hirshfeld surface analysis method can clearly and intuitively reveal the intermolecular interactions, among which H…H, O…H/H…O and N…H/H…N interactions account for 95% of the total energy. There are differences in the proportion and distribution of the forces of different crystal forms. The energy calculation shows that the lattice energy of the hydrate is significantly lower than that of the anhydrous forms, and in the specific energy distribution, the contribution of the dispersion force is the most prominent. Further interaction energy analysis was found that within the distance of 3.8 Å from the center of the piroxicam molecule, different crystalline forms of piroxicam molecule have different interaction energies with surrounding molecules.
