In this study, a spectrophotometric detection method for diethylstilbestrol (DES) was proposed by reducing silver nitrate (AgNO3) to obtain silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) in the medium of ammonia and sodium hydroxide. It was found that the resulting AgNPs have plasmon resonance absorption (PRA) characteristic at 415 nm, and the PRA is proportional to the increase of DES concentration in the range of 4.0×10-8-1.0×10-5M with the detection limit (3σ) of 1.2×10-7M. Most of the coexisting substances at high concentrations did not affect the detection of real samples, such as tablets. The recovery was in the range of 96.01%-107.41% and the RSD was lower than 4.7%. This method can be successfully applied to control preparation quality of DES.

A single factor duplicate test was designed to investigate whether bovine recombinded resistin impacts the expression of pyruvate carboxylase (PC) mRNA and the activity of PC in vitro culture bovine hepatocyte.Bovine recombinded resistin was added to the media with 0,25,50,100,200 and 400 ng/L.Abundance of PC mRNA in bovine hepatocyte,which was cultured with bovine recombinded resistin for 12 hours,was determined by real-time fluorescence quantitative RT-PCR,and activity of PC was determined by colourimetry.The results showed that bovine recombinded resistin could downregulate the expression of PC mRNA and the activity of PC in vitro culture bovine hepatocyte.

BACKGROUND:The discovery and concept of pulp tissue-derived stem cells is beneficial to the understanding of tooth development and regeneration and repair mechanisms from the cellular level. OBJECTIVE:To understand the induced differentiation capacity and induced conditions in vitro of human dental pulp stem cells into neuron-like cells. METHODS:Pulp tissue was separated from human healthy third molars. Single cellsuspensions were prepared and seeded into 6-wel plates containing alpha-modified minimum essential medium supplemented with 15%fetal bovine serum. Subconfluent cultures (first passage) of colony forming cells were induced with butylhydroxy anisole, forskolin,β-mercaptoethanol, basic fibroblast growth factor. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Immunofluorescence and reverse transcription-PCR assay showed that human dental pulp stem cells positively expressed stro-1, Col-I, dentin sialoprotein after 2 weeks of induction. Nestin and neuron-specific enolase were strongly expressed, but the gingival fibroblasts were negatively expressed. It indicates that adult stem cells in human dental pulp have a high neuron-like celldifferentiation potential under a certain inductive condition.

Objective To explore the security and the short term efficacy of VIABAHN stents in the treatment of branching area lesions in lower extremity arterial diseases. Methods The data of 16 patients (11 male and 5 female, aged 59.0 to 81.0 with median of 71.6) with lower extremity arterial occlusive disease from November 2014 to June 2015 were analyzed retrospectively. All lesions were located around the branching area of the lower extremity artery (3 cases in the internal iliac artery orifice, 6 cases in the deep femoral artery orifice and 7 cases in the vascular net around the knee). The short?term effects on these patients in the follow-up period, such as the success rate of surgical technique, the improvement of symptoms and the incidence of complications were summarized. Results Revascularization was technically successful in all 16 patients, and ischemic symptoms relieved significantly after the operation. The ABI were 0.36±0.12 before and 0.89±0.10 after the operation. The patients were followed up for 3 to 9 months (median 5.5 months). All the patients were achieved limb salvage and no complication occurred. Conclusions VIABAHN stent is safe and effective for the treatment of lower extremity arterial occlusive disease. The branches around the lesion can be covered with VIABAHN stents.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of mechanical thrombectomy in treating in-stent restenosis of lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans. Methods From May 2015 to Sep 2016, the clinical data of 9 cases of lower extremity arteriosclerosis obliterans who were with in-stent restenosis(3 were stent graft)were retrospectively collected, and of which 7 were males and 2 were females with a mean age of (75.4 ± 6.3)years old. All the cases were treated by mechanical thrombectomy of Rotarex catheter. All the patients were diagnosed via low-extremity artery CTA, and treated by means of the Rotarex catheter, combined with angioplasty and stent if necessary. All patients received antiplatelet therapy. Doppler ultrasonography was taken during the followed-up. Results All the 9 cases were successed in technology, without complications in hospital. All patients received Rotarex mechanical thrombectomy. Six of which used balloon and 1 stent implanted. The ABI increased from 0.29 ± 0.07 to 0.88 ± 0.07 after treatment, the difference was statistically significant(t=28.875,P<0.05). All the patients were followed up for 3—18 (median time, 11.5)months. No death and symptoms recurrence appeared during the follow-up. Conclusions Mechanical thrombectomy using Rotarex catheter is a safe and effective treatment for in-stent restenosis in lower extremity arterial diseases.

Objective: To study relationship between coronary heart disease (CHD) and dyslipidemia. Methods: A total of 302 CHD patients diagnosed by coronary angiography were enrolled as CHD group, and 218 healthy subjects without cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases by health examination were regard as healthy control group. Relative data were collected and levels of blood triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), high density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) and low density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were measured and compared between two groups. Results: Compared with healthy control group, there were significant increase in levels of blood TC [(4.03±0.97) mmol/L vs. (4.62±1.06) mmol/L] and LDL-C[(2.51±0.86) mmol/L vs. (3.76±1.07) mmol/L] in CHD group, P<0.01 both. Multiple factor Logistic regression analysis indicated that elevated LDL-C level was an independent risk factor for occurrence of CHD (OR=2.608, 95%CI = 1.268-5.366, P=0.009). Conclusions: The results show that levels of TC and LDL-C in patients with coronary heart disease are significantly higher than those of healthy control group. Elevated LDL level may be an independent risk factor for occurrence of coronary heart disease.

Atrial fibrillation, also known as atrial fibrillation, is a common cardiac arrhythmia, and its incidence increases with age. Catheter ablation is considered to be an effective means to treat atrial fibrillation and maintain sinus rhythm. The common ablation technologies are radiofrequency ablation and cryoablation. However, the existing catheter ablation technology has a "zero-sum effect", and it is difficult to control the optimal dose clinically. In this study, a new method of pulsed electric field ablation for atrial fibrillation was proposed, which effectively solved the "zero-sum effect" problem of temperature ablation. The clinical application results show that the proposed technology effectively overcomes the shortcomings of existing temperature ablation, and can form durable pulmonary vein isolation.
