Effect of ginsenoside total saponin (GTS) on the regulation of P450 of livers of rats after γ-ray irradiation was studied. Rats were irradiated by the ⁶⁰Coγ-ray for one-time dose of 5.5 Gy, dose rate of 117.1-119.2 cGy. The cocktail probe, qPCR and Western blot were used to detect expression of enzymatic activites, mRNA and protein of rats. Contrasted with blank group, expression of CYP1A2, 2B1, 2E1, 3A4 of irradiation group showed a up-regulated (P < 0.05). Contrasted with irradiation group, exprression of CYP1A2, 2B1, 2E1, 3A4 of GTS group showed a downward trend. GTS had negative agonistic action against expression of P450 of rats by irradiatied.

Objective To explore the effect of nursing intervention on negative emotions and coping style for patients with retinal redetachmem.Methods Sixty patients with retinal reenactment were divided into two groups:the intervention group(n=30)and the control group(n=30)randomly.Routine nursing method were used in the control group while systemic nursing interventions,such as the intervention of disease-related knowledge, relaxed therapy, touch care therapy, intervention on families were used in the intervention group. The collected data by using the scales including the self-rating anxiety scale (SAS) , self-rating depression scale (SDS) and coping style questionnaires (CSQ). Results Negative emotions during preoperative period in the study group were less than that in the control group and in the coping style the study group was better than the control group. Conclusions The effective nursing intervention for the preoperative patients with retinal redetachment can alleviate the negative emotions such as anxiety, depression and psychological stress, and ensure the smooth progress of the re-operation.

Objective To explore the relationship between clinical ischemic events and carotid calcification detected by 64 slices CT angiography. Methods We retrospectively analyzed the carotid calcified plaques in 116 patients underwent the 64 slices CT angiography. The relatinnship between the carotid calcification and the clinical ischemic events was analyzed. Results A total of 377 plaques were detected and the incidence of carotid plaque calcification was 63.40%. Incidence of plaque calcification was significantly lower in patients with ages<50 years than that in patients with ages 51-59 years, 60-69 years and higher than 70 years (P=0.003, P=0.002, P=0.000, respectively). The incidence of plaque calcification in the common carotid artery was significantly lower than the carotid bifurcation (P=0.000) and the internal carotid artery (P=0.000). The incidences of calcification in the mild, moderate and severe degree of stenosis and occlusion were 46.54%, 33.33%, 26.67% and 0% respectively. The distribution of intraplaque calcium was similar between patients with ischemic event and non-isehemic event group. However, the incidence of calcification was significantly lower patients with ischemic event than that in patients without ischemie event (30.34% vs. 43.10%, P=0.013). Calcified plaque was negatively associated with ischemie event (β=-0.688, P=0.006). Conclusion 64 slices CT angiography can analyze the characterization of carotid plaque calcium.

Objective To further explore the genetic characteristics of oidiomycetes mutant strains like bacterial morphology on the basis of the study on morphology and structure of mutated candida.Methods The standard strains of candida albicans were induced by low temperature and under the condition of low temperature and nutrient deficiency.Variation of standard strains of Candida albicans were induced by clinical antifungal drugs such as fluconazole with different concentration gradient.Fungal gene template was prepared by boiling method,sequences of 16SRNA and 18SRNA were amplified using bacteria conservative gene sequence of 16SRNA and fungal conserved gene sequence of 18SRNA,and observed and recorded the results agarose gel electrophoresis.At the same time,the amplified fragment of bacterial conservative gene 16SRNA was sequenced,and the sequence was analyzed by BLAST comparison.Results the 16SRNA sequences of candida variant were amplified positive,while the standard strain of candida albicans did not show the corresponding amplification band.Except 2 strains which showed a faint band,the other variants of the 18SRNA sequences did not amplified the target band,while the standard strains of candida albicans showed a corresponding amplification bands.Suggested that proportion of 18SRNA sequences in the genome of oidiomycetes mutant strains like bacterial morphology was not much even lack.The 16SRNA fragments amplified of oidiomycetes mutant strains like bacterial morphology did determination of DNA sequence after purification.BLAST comparison analysis,it was found that sequence of oidiomycetes mutant strains like bacterial morphology had higher similarity with bacterial sequences in the database.Conclusion Oidiomycetes mutant strains like bacterial morphology contained bacterial and a small amount of fungus conservative gene.Oidiomycetes mutant strains like bacterial morphology with original nuclear biological character are ones from eukaryotes.This study is great significance in biological evolution,especially in the evolution of prokaryotic cells and eukaryotic cells.

Objective To understand the epidemic situation and the source of infection of the reemerge human rabies in Qinghai. Methods We collected the data on human rabies and the data on the cases of multi- victims bitten by the identical dog, and also the laboratory data of the nucleoprotein ( N) gene of rabies virus from the samples which were detected by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and direct immunofluorescence assay (DFA) from 2012 to 2017, to describe the epidemiological characteristics of human rabies and the prevalence of rabies virus in host animals, and to explore the source of infection of reemerge human rabies. Results A total of 7 human cases were reported in 2012-2017 in Qinghai province, among which 1 was bitted by wolf, 2 were bitted by stray dogs, 3 were bitted by domestic dogs which injured by stray dogs or wolfs. A total of 892 canine brain tissue samples were collected, from which 46 positive samples were detected with the positive rate of 5.16% (95% CI:3.70%-6.61%). The positive samples were collected from the nomadic region, which were consistent had the location of the human rabies. The samples collected from the cases of multi-victims bitten by the identical dog/animal had the positive rate of 73.08%, and 4 out of 7 human rabies were exposed to the cases of multi-victims bitten by the identical dog/animal. Genetic sequencing of the rabies virus detected from canine brain tissue samples were belong to China IV lineage, which was closely related to the Arctic clade. Conclusions The reemerging rabies happened in nomadic region of Qinghai province could be a consequence of spillover from wildlife especially from wolfs. The better surveillance system covering the human, livestock and wildlife should be set up to mitigate the rabies virus spread from the wildlife.

In order to clarify regions of production and to discriminate processing methods, quantitative and qualitative analyses for saccharides and terpenes in 35 batches of Alismatis Rhizoma were performed. Methodologies included HPLC-PDA, HPLC-VWD and UHPLC-MS , combined with principal component analysis (PCA) and partial least squares regression techniques (PLSR). The inhibitory effects of triterpenes and Alismatis Rhizoma extracts on lipase activity were evaluated . PLSR analysis revealed significant positive correlations ( = 0.5795) between the contents of triterpenes , , , and and the inhibitory effects of Alismatis Rhizoma. The present study establishes an effective method for simultaneous determination of multiple components, and identifies key bioactive triterpenes. These results can be used for systematic and novel analytical strategies for the quality control of Alismatis Rhizoma production.
