Radiation-induced cognitive impairment is hypothesized to occur because of dynamic interactions be -tween multiple cell types, including astrocytes, endothelial cells, microglia, neurons, and oligodendrocytes.Cur-rent researche indicates that radiation-induced changes include the decrease in hippocampus neurogenesis , altera-tions of neuronal functions , particularly synaptic plasticity , as well as the elevation of neuroinflammatory cytokines .

Objective To investigate the effects of preconditioning with different concentrations of sevoflurane on the expression of Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) in rats with acute lung injury (ALI) induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS).Methods Thirty adult male Sprague-Dawlcy rats,wcighing 200-250 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =6 each):normal saline group (group NS),group ALI,and preconditioning with different concentrations of sevoflurane groups (groups S1-3).ALI was induced by intratracheal instillation of LPS 5 mg/kg.Groups S1-3 inhaled 1.2％,2.4 ％ and 4.8 ％ sevoflurane for 30 min respectively,and ALI was induced 30 min later.The rats were sacrificed at 12 h after administration of LPS or normal saline and lungs were removed for microscopic examination and for determination of TLR4 mRNA and protein expression in lung tissues and concentrations of TNF-α and IL-1β in broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BALF).W/D lung weight ratio was calculated.Results Compared with group NS,W/D lung weight ratio and concentrations of TNF-a and IL-1β in BALF were significantly increased and the expression of TLR4 mRNA and protein was up-regulated in groups ALI and S1-3 (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with group ALI,the parameters mentioned above were significantly decreased in groups S2 and S3,and the concentrations of TNF-α and IL-1 β in BALF were significantly decreased and the expression of TLR4 mRNA was down-regulated in group S1 (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01).The parameters mentioned above were significantly lower in groups S2 and S3 than in group S1 (P ＜ 0.05).The pathologic changes were significantly attenuated in groups S1-3 compared with group ALI.Conclusion Preconditioning with sevoflurane can concentration-dependently reduce LPS-induced ALI in rats through inhibiting the up-regulation of TLR4 expression in lung tissues and reducing the inflammatory response.

According to the onset age, a total of 5 674 outpatients with gout admitted in the affiliated hospital of Qingdao University from January 2011 to January 2016 were divided into youth group (≤44 years, n=3 058), middle age group (45~64 years, n=2 101), and elderly group (≥65 years, n=515).Their clinical and biochemical characteristics were analyzed.The results showed that the proportion of gout in the males in three groups was higher than that in the females.The proportions of gout in male youth, middle age, and elderly groups were 98.1%, 93.4%, and 83.1%, respectively.The proportion of gout in females increased with age.The proportion of gout family history in youth group was higher than that in middle age and elderly groups(P<0.05).The proportions of hypertension and impaired fasting glucose(IFG) in elderly group were higher than those in youth and middle age groups (P<0.05), with lower proportions of hypertriglyceride and obesity (P<0.05).The levels of systolic blood pressure, blood urea nitrogen, creatinine in elderly group were increased compared with youth and middle age groups (P<0.05) while the levels of uric acid and triglyceride were decreased (P<0.05), with higher ratio of renal dysfunction (P<0.05).There were no differences in tophus and kidney calculi among three groups (P>0.05).The distributions of the onset joint among three groups revealed statistical difference(P<0.05), but the first plantar toe joint was mostly involved in each group.These results suggest that the clinical characteristics of patients with gout at different onset ages are not identical, should be treated differently.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of neuron-specific enolase(NSE) in cerebrospinal fluid(CSF) in children with meningitis.Methods NSE levels in CSF of 18 children with purulent meningitis,13 children with tuberculous meningitis and 25 children with viral meningitis were determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(ELISA).Results CSF-NSE levels increased significantly in children with purulent meningitis and tuberculous meningitis compared with that of control group(P0.05);CSF-NSE levels increased significantly in children with purulent meningitis and tuberculous meningitis,compared with that of viral meningitis group(P0.05).Conclusions The determination of the neuron-specific enolase in cerebrospinal fluid can be used as an important parameter for identifying bacterial meningitis from viral meningitis.It also can be used to estimate the severity and prognosis of meningitis in children.

AIM: To research the correlation factor of the anterior segment values of eyes with different axial lengths.METHODS: In this study, 697 cases 697 eyes were included.According to axial length we divided all the cases into short axial length group, normal axial length group, mild long axial length group, moderate long axial length group and severe long axial length group.The relevant indicators of the anterior segment values of patients in the five groups was comparatively analyzed.RESULTS: In the short axial length group, the anterior chamber volume (ACV) showed a significantly negative correlation with age;anterior chamber depth (ACD) showed a significantly negative correlation with age.In the normal axial length group, the ACV showed a significantly negative correlation with age and a significantly positive correlation with axial length(AXL);the anterior chamber angle (ACA) showed a significantly negative correlation with age and a significantly positive correlation with AXL, and a significantly positive correlation with corneal curvature;the ACD showed a significantly negative correlation with age and a significantly positive correlation with AXL.In the mild long axial length group, the ACV showed a significantly negative correlation with age and a significantly positive correlation with AXL, and a significantly negative correlation with corneal curvature;the ACA showed a significantly negative correlation with age and a significantly positive correlation with AXL, and a significantly positive correlation with corneal curvature;the ACD showed a significantly negative correlation with age and a significantly positive correlation with AXL.In the moderate long axial length group, the ACV showed a significantly negative correlation with age;the ACA showed a significantly positive correlation with AXL;the ACD showed a significantly positive correlation with AXL.In the severe long axial length group, the ACV showed a significantly negative correlation with age.There were no significant differences on ACV, ACA and ACD among mild long axial length group, moderate long axial length group and severe long axial length group (P>0.05), while the difference between other groups was significant (P<0.05).CONCLUSION: There has a correlation between the anterior chamber values (ACV, ACA, ACD) age and AXL for eyes which AXL were 22-27mm, while the correlation would disappear as the AXL became shorter or longer.There was a significant growth trend of anterior chamber values for eyes with AXL <27mm.

Objective The effects of TPT on the induction of apoptosis of leukemia cells and the regulation of c-myc in mRNA and protein level. Methods RT-PCR method was adopted to examine the expressions of the genes and immune histochemistry for the proteins of c-myc in HL-60 cells treated with TPT of optimal concentration and time. Results After HL-60 cells by TPT of 0.15 μmol/L for 12 h, the expression of c-myc mRNA decreased markedly assayed by RT-PCR. There was a significant difference between the TPT group and the control group(0.17±0.03 vs 1.11±0.25, P <0.05), expressive c-myc protein decreased assayed by evidently immunohistochemistry. The percentage of positive cells expressing c-myc protein was a significant difference between the TPT treated group and the control group (19.67 % vs 68.33 %, P<0.05). Conclusion TPT down-regulates endogenic c-myc mRNA and c-myc protein in HL-60 cells.
