ObjectiveTo research the hepatitis B virus (HBV) replication and immune tolerance status of transgenic mice for elucidating the pathogenesis of hepatitis B and evaluating new drugs against HBV.Methods SPE grade HBsAg negative nontransgenic and transgenic mice with the same genetic background were recruited in this study.HBsAg,HBeAg and HBV DNA were detected by chemiluminescent method.Pre-S1 and HBcAg were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbont assay (ELISA).Liver pathology was examined and HBsAg expressions at different stages were determined by immunohistochemical staining.The lymphocyte proliferation of mice was detected by flow cytometry and interferon (IFN)γ-producing T lymphocytes was determined by enzyme linked immunospot (ELISPOT).The expressions of Toll-like receptor (TLR)2 and TLR9 in splenocyte suspension and splenic dendrite cells (DC) were determined by double-labeling immunofluorescence.The data were analyzed by t test and F test.ResultsHBsAg,preS1,HBeAg,HBcAg were expressed and HBV DNA was replicated in HBV transgenic mice,while anti-HBs,anti-HBc,and anti-HBe were all negative.There were no obvious pathological changes in liver tissues.HBsAg was expressed in cytoplasm and HBcAg in nucleus of hepatocytes.After stimulated with HBsAg,T lymphocyte proliferation capacity of HBV transgenic mice was (697.6±67.3) cpm,which was much lower than that of nontransgenic mice [( 1315.5 ±191.6) cpm].The number of spot forming cells of IFNγ-producing splenocytes from transgenic mice after HBsAg stimulation was 8.25 ± 1.10,which was obviously lower than that of nontransgenic mice (28.50±4.21) (F=155.967,P=0.000).The expressions of CD11c+,TLR2 and TLR9 on DC from both HBV transgenic and nontransgenic mice were not different significantly (all P＞0.05).The HBsAg expressions in liver tissues were observed in 18-day-old fetal mice and 1-day-old newborn mice.ConclusionsThe HBV transgenic mice can express HBV-related antigens,and are immune tolerant to the antigens.The innate and acquired immunity of the HBV transgenic mice are normal,which is similar to chronic asymptomatic HBV carriers of human.Therefore,HBV transgenic mouse is an ideal animal model.

Objective To explore the dynamic changes in the plasma levels of thrombomodulin(TM)with traumatic hemor-rhagic shock (THS).Methods The model of the THS with gradient decerease in the systolic blood pressure was eatablished in 1 7 rats without specific pathogen.The arterial blood during the different phase of shock,i.e.when the systolic pressures were three forth,one second,two fifth of the basis systolic blood pressure,one fifth of the basic systolic blood pressure and 10mmHg,was collected and TM levels in the plasma were determined by the double antibody sandwich method of enzyme-labeled immunosorbent assay (ELISA)and analyzed.Results There were significant differences in plasma levels of TM be-tween groups,with TM levels in T2~T3 period of time increased with the extension of time,and TM levels in T4~T5 peri-od of time decreased with the extension of time,and TM levels in T5~T6 period of time increased with the extension of time.Conclusion The animal model of THS was related to the systolic pressure during the shock,may be helpful to assess-ment changes in blood loss.The dynamic observation of the plasma levels of TM which is a good index of the damage to the vascular endothelial cells,may be helpful to assessment of the THS is related to the degree of damage to the vascular endo-thelial cells.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy of scalp acupuncture plus electroacupuncture in treating migraine without aura.Methods Three hundred and twenty-six patients with migraine without aura were randomly allocated to a treatment group of 157 cases and a control group of 169 cases. The treatment group received scalp acupuncture plus electroacupuncture and the control group, medication alone. The Pain Rating Index (PRI) score and the TCM syndrome rating scale score were scored in the two groups of patients before and after treatment. The numbers of taking medicine and the numbers of headache attacks were compared between the two groups of patients during treatment. An analysis was made of factors influencing the therapeutic effect on migraine. Results There were statistically significant differences in the PRI score and the TCM syndrome rating scale score at the end of treatment and at one, two and three months of follow-up compared with before treatment in the two groups (P<0.05). There were statistically significant differences in the PRI score and the TCM syndrome rating scale score at the end of treatment and at one and two months after it between the treatment and control groups (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the weekly number of taking medicine between the treatment and control groups during treatment (P<0.05). There was a statistically significant difference in the number of headache attacks between the treatment and control groups at two, three and four weeks of treatment (P<0.05). In the treatment group, the therapeutic effect at one, two and three months of follow-up was related to both TCM syndrome type and the VAS score; the therapeutic effect at two months of follow-up was related to the sex; the therapeutic effect at three months of follow-up was related to the educational level.Conclusion Scalp acupuncture plus electroacupuncture is an effective way to treat migraine without aura.

Hypertension is one of the most important diseases that threaten human health, and has become a global problem. In recent years, the prevalence of hypertension in children has increased significantly year by year, and hypertension in children has a trajectory phenomenon, which is easy to cause cognitive damage and other target organ damage. Therefore, it is necessary to be alert and attached to the relationship between hypertension and cognitive impairment in children. This article reviews the epidemiological characteristics, etiology, diagnostic criteria of hypertension and pathophysiological mechanisms of cognitive impairment caused by hypertension in children.

As the most commonly used antipyretic and analgesic drug,paracetamol(PA)coexists with neuro-transmitter dopamine(DA)in real biological samples.Their simultaneous determination is extremely important for human health,but they also interfere with each other.In order to improve the conductivity,adsorption affinity,sensitivity,and selectivity of TiO2-based electrochemical sensor,N-doped carbon@-TiO2 double-shelled hollow sphere(H-C/N@TiO2)is designed and synthesized by simple alcoholic and hydrothermal method,using polystyrene sphere(PS)as a template.Meanwhile,TiO2 hollow spheres(H-TiO2)or N-doped carbon hollow spheres(H-C/N)are also prepared by the same method.H-C/N@TiO2 has good conductivity,charge separation,and the highly enhanced and stable current responses for the detection of PA and DA.The detection limit and linear range are 50.0 nmol/L and 0.3-50 μmol/L for PA,40.0 nmol/L and 0.3-50 μmol/L for DA,respectively,which are better than those of carbon-based sen-sors.Moreover,this electrochemical sensor,with high selectivity,strong anti-interference,high reli-ability,and long time durability,can be used for the simultaneous detection of PA and DA in human blood serum and saliva.The high electrochemical performance of H-C/N@TiO2 is attributed to the multi-functional combination of different layers,because of good conductivity,absorption and electrons transfer ability from in-situ N-doped carbon and electrocatalytic activity from TiO2.

Objective To understand the basic information of the number, classification, and distribution of radiation work units in non-medical institutions in Shanxi Province, China, and to analyze the status quo of health management and radiation protection measures for radiation workers, so as to provide a scientific basis for occupational exposure protection in non-medical radiation work units and better protect the occupational health rights and interests of radiation workers. Methods A questionnaire survey was conducted to investigate some non-medical institutions in Shanxi Province. On-site testing was carried out to determine the risk factors for radioactive occupational diseases in the selected non-medical institutions. Results In 220 non-medical institutions, there were 340 radiation devices and 2284 radioactive sources. The rate of individual dose monitoring was 92.7% and the rate of occupational health examination was 87.2%. These devices were equipped with 325 detection instruments for radiation protection, 1316 personal protective equipment, and 730 personal dose alarms. Radiation occupational disease risk factors were investigated in 101 institutions. Conclusion The occupational health management of radiation workers in non-medical institutions in Shanxi Province is generally in line with the national standards. However, there is still a big gap with the level of occupational health management in medical institutions. The health administration departments should clarify the management measures for non-medical institutions and strengthen their supervision and management functions.
