1.The linkage of global environment and health:Policy response and institutional construction
Chinese Journal of Health Policy 2015;(7):8-15
Based on the global governance prospective, this paper examines the linkage of global environment and health and the structural features in terms of the policy and institutions system level, the future challenges are al-so analyzed as well. From the institutional perspective, the linkage of global environmental and health is mainly re-flected in laws, norms, governance models, actors and institutions. The current global environment and health gov-ernance structure presents three characteristics: it experiences a rapid formation; it remains fragmented, loose and fragile, thus it has much room for future development;and it is held on dominating advantage in science, engineering and technology, funds, diplomatic skills and other aspects for the developed countries. There is also a potential con-flict between environment and health which may be from their different values or from different understanding of the relationship between them. Therefore, the future global environment and health governance faces challenges like po-liticization and national security considerations.

The paper is to report the establishment of a method of characteristic figure analysis for the quality control of Panacis Quinquefolii Radix. Application of HPLC-UV-ELSD techniques was connected in series and applied. The separation was carried out on the Agilent Extend-C18 (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) column. The mobile phase consisted of water and acetonitrile with gradient elution. The flow rate was 1.0 mL x min(-1) and the wavelength of measurement was 203 nm. The temperature of drift tube was maintained at 106.5 degrees C and the flow rate of air was set at 2.9 L x min(-1). Twenty batches of the Panacis Quinquefolii Radix were determined. Hierarchical cluster analysis (HCA) and principal component analysis (PCA) were applied to study on the HPLC characteristic figure and chemical pattern recognition. The HPLC-UV and HPLC-ELSD characteristic figure of Panacis Quinquefolii Radix was developed, the ginsenosides Rg1, Re, Rb1, Rc, Rb2, Rb3, Rd and the pseudoginsenoside F11 were identified. This method is accurate and reliable, and it can be used to control the quality of the Panacis Quinquefolii Radix.

BACKGROUND:PA6 cells are bone marrow stromal stem cells from the mouse skul , and scientists have found that PA6 cells co-cultured with some kinds of stem cells have shown neural differentiation, based on which, PA6 cells can be used for repair of nerve injury. Therefore, researchers give more and more attentions to PA6, but few studies have addressed isolation and culture methods of bone marrow stromal stem cells from the skul . OBJECTIVE:To isolate and culture bone marrow stromal stem cells from the skul of Sprague-Dawley rats and to observe cellular morpholopy in vitro and perform immunofluorescence identification. METHODS:Under sterile conditions, newborn Sprague-Dawley rat’s skul was cut into pieces. Smal skul pieces were washed using Dulbecco’s modified Eagle’s medium containing 10%fetal bovine serum. Single cellsuspension was made, and placed in culture flask. The culture medium was changed many times for cellpurification. The second passage of cells was obtained for morphology observation under an inverted microscope. cellsurface markers were detected by using immunofluorescence staining. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:After the primary culture for 24 hours, cells exhibited adherent growth;after 3 days, cells were increased in number, and presented with irregular shapes, such as polygon, triangle, spindle and flat shape. After passage, cells were uniform in morphology, arranged in radial and bunch patterns, and exhibited strong adherent ability. Some cells grew in cluster, and proliferated faster than primary cells. Immunofluorescence staining showed that cells were positive for CD105, CD73, CD44, CD90, but negative for CD45, D34,CD14, HLA-DR. Results indicate that this method can obtain bone marrow stromal stem cells.

Objective To investigate the function of donor-derived dendritic cells (DCs) treated with NF-?B decoy in prolonging murine cardiac allograft survival time.Methods Donor bone marrow- derived DCs were treated with NF-?B decoy in vitro.Heterotopic abdominal heart transplantation was performed from BALB/c to C57BL/6 mice.Recipients were grouped according to different pretreat ments as follows:(1) Control group,infusion of PBS (0.2 ml) alone intravenously via the portal vein 7 days before heart transplantation;(2) CsA group,treated with sub-therapeutic CsA only for 7 days (10 mg?kg~(-1)?day~(-1)) through intraperitoneal injection after transplantation,and the same as control group before transplantation;(3) Control DCs group,infusion of only cultured 5th-day recipient DCs untreated with NF-?B ODN decoy;(4) Treated DCs group,infusion of recipient DCs pretreated with NF-~cB ODN decoy;(5) Combined treatment group,infusion of recipient DCs treated with NF-~cB ODN decoy before transplantation and intraperitoneal injection of sub-therapeutic CsA for 7 days (10 mg?kg~(-1)?day~(-1)) after transplantation;(6) Third party donor group,C3H/HeJ mice used as donor, and recipient (C57BL/6) was treated the same as combined treatment group.Every group had 8 mice and graft survival time was observed.Cytokines (IL-2,INF-?,IL-4 and IL-10) in recipient serums were analyzed by ELISA at 7th day after transplantation.Results The graft mean survival time (MST) in control group,CsA group,Control DCs group,treated DCs group,combined treatment group and third party donor group was 7 days,10.3 days,7.6 days,21.4 days,53.6 days and 9 days,respectively.There was significant difference in MST between treated DCs group and control group or control DCs group (P

Objective To investigate the expression of beclin1 and LC3 in non small cell lung cancer and explore their clinical significance. Methods Immunohistochemistry was applied to confirm expression of Beclin1 and LC3 in 66 samples of NSCC and 52 samples of adjacent tissues. Clinical pathological features were analyzed. Results Beclin1 and LC3 expression were lower in cancer tissues than that in adjacent cancer tissues ,and the dif-ference was statistically significant(46.9%vs 75%,53%vs 80.7%,P<0.05). The expression of Beclin1 and LC3 was down-regulated with TNM staging rising and tissue differentiation decreasing. With tumor enlarging ,Beclin1 down-regulated,and the difference is statistically significant(P<0.05). Expression of Beclin1 was positively cor-related with LC3 expression(r=0.31,P<0.05). Conclusion The down-regulation of autophagy-related protein Beclinl and LC3 might be involved in the genesis and development of non small lung cancer.

Objective To investigate the characteristics and risk factors of central lymph node metastasis in clinically node negative (cN0) papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) (T1 or T2 stage) coexisting with Hashimoto' s thyroiditis (HT).Methods A total of 398 patients undergoing thyroidectomy with central lymph node dissection were enrolled in the study.Patients were divided into the trial group (PTC with HT)and the control group (PTC without HT).The difference of the clinicopathological characteristics between the 2 groups and risk factors for central lymph node metastasis were analyzed.Results Among the total 398 patients,98 (24.6%)had coexistent HT.Central lymph node metastasis rate was similar in the 2 groups (40.8% vs 41.3%).The number of dissected central lymph nodes was significantly more in the trial group than in the control group (4.9 vs 2.9,P<0.01) while the number of metastatic lymph nodes had no statistical significance between the 2 groups (1.0 vs 1.0).Univariate analysis showed that tumor size>1 cm was significantly associated with central lymph node metastasis in the trial group (P<0.01).Male,<45 years,tumor size>1 cm,and tumor located in the middle/lower third of lobe were all significantly associated with central lymph node metastasis in the control group (P<0.01).Multivariate analysis showed that tumor size>1 cm was independent predictor for central lymph node metastasis in the trial group,while female,<45 years,tumor size>1 cm,and tumor located in the middle/lower third of lobe were all independent predictors for central lymph node metastasis in the control group.Conclusions The number of central lymph nodes was larger in cN0 PTC coexisting with HT patients than that in PTC patients,but there was no statistical difference in the number of metastatic lymph nodes between cN0 PTC with and without HT.Central lymph node dissection is recommended when tumor size 1 cm in cN0 PTC coexisting with HT patients.
