A modification of Watkinson's method was used for the flaorimetric determination of selenium in blood, hair, urine and animal tissues with 2,3-Di-aminonaphthalene. A mixture of sulphuric, perchloric acid and sodium molybdate was used for digestion. As little as 3 ng selenium in the sample could be estimated out. Coefficients of variation and recoveries for blood, hair, urine and animal tissues were 3.9, 5.5, 3.3 and 5.6%, and 97.0, 95.0, 97.8 and 99.8% respectively. No significant difference in selenium content estimated was found as graded amounts of samples were taken for analysis, indicating no foreign interference in the extracts. Both precision and accuracy of this method are satisfactory.

2,3-Diaminonaphthalene was used for the fluorometric determination of selenium in cereals and vegetables. Nitric-perchloric-sulphuric acids mixture was used for digestion. Coefficient of variation and recovery for cereals were 4-10% and 97.1%, and for vegetables were 4-18% and 97.8% respectively. Addition of hydrochloric acid to the final digests could be omitted for ordinary cereals and soybean, but it was necessary for samples from seleni-ferous area and some vegetables with higher selenium content such as mushrooms.

Objective:To prepare mesalazineβ-cyclodextrin inclusion compound and observe its properties. Methods:The struc-ture was characterized by UV, IR and DSC. The inclusion process of mesalazine andβ-cyclodextrin was simulated using molecular doc-king technique. The solubility and dissolution of inclusion compound were determined. Results:UV, IR and DSC were used to deter-mine the formation of inclusion complex. The inclusion ratio was 1: 1 and the phase solubility diagram was AL type. The solubility of inclusion compound in deionized water (25 ℃, pH 7. 0) was 7. 8 mg·ml-1 . The preparation of mesalazine β-cyclodextrin inclusion compound could significantly increase the dissolution rate and solubility of mesalazine. Conclusion:The prepared mesalazineβ-cyclo-dextrin inclusion compound can obviously improve the poor water solubility and dissolution of mesalazine.

This study aimed to examine the preparation of cationic lipid microbubble (CLM), and evaluate its physical and chemical properties and toxicity, measure the gene transfection efficiency by ultrasound triggered microbobble destruction (UTMD) in combination with CLM. The CLM was prepared by the method of the thin film hydration, and its morphology was observed under the electron microscopy at 1st, 3rd, 7th, 10th, and 14th day after preparation, respectively. The size, Zeta potential and stability of CLM were tested. The acute toxicity of CLM was assessed. The green fluorescent protein gene (EGFP) transfection efficiency was evaluated. The experiment grouping was as follows: naked plasmid group (P group), ultrasonic irradiation plus naked plasmid group (P-US group), naked plasmid plus CLM group (P-CLM group), naked plasmid plus ultrasound and CLM group (UTMD group). The expression of EGFP was detected by fluorescent microscopy and flow cytometry. The results showed that CLMs were spherical in shape, with the similar size and good distribution degree under the light and electron microscopies. The size of CLMs was varied from 250.4±88.3 to 399.0±99.8 nm and the Zeta potential of CLMs from 18.80±4.97 to 20.1±3.1 mV. The EGFP expression was the strongest in the UTMD group, followed by the P-CLM group, P-US group and P group. Flow cytometry results were consistent with those of fluorescent microscopy. The transfection efficiency was substantially increased in the P-US group, P-CLM group and UTMD group as compared with that in the P group, almost 7 times, 10 times and 30 times higher than that in the P group respectively. It is suggested that CLMs prepared by the method of thin film hydration are uniform in diameter, and proved non-toxic. UTMD combined with CLM can significantly increase the transfection efficiency of EGFP to targeted cells.

Objective To investigate the effect of miR-152 on ox-LDL induced cholesterol accumulation in RAW264.7 macrophages and to verify its target genes. Methods RAW264.7 macrophages were divided into two groups:miR-152 group and negative control group. Total cholesterol(TC),cholesterol ester(CE)concentra- tion and the ratio of CE/TC were observed in the two group by ox-LDL for 48 h. Furthermore,bioinformatics meth-od,dual luciferase reporter assay,real-time quantitative PCR and Western blot were applied to detect the target gene of miR-152. Results As compared with the control group,the contents of TC,CE and the ratio of CE/TC were increased in the miR-152 group. The mRNA and protein expressions of ABCA1 were significantly lower in miR-152 group. Conclusions MiR-152 could inhibit macrophage foam cell formation through decreasing the expres-sion of ABCA1.

In recent years, the artificial intelligence machine learning and deep learning technology have made leap progress. Using clinical decision support system for auxiliary diagnosis and treatment is the inevitable developing trend of wisdom medical. Clinicians tend to ignore the interpretability of models while pursuing its high accuracy, which leads to the lack of trust of users and hamper the application of clinical decision support system. From the perspective of explainable artificial intelligence, the authors make some preliminary exploration on the construction of clinical decision support system in the field of liver disease. While pursuing high accuracy of the model, the data governance techniques, intrinsic interpretability models, post-hoc visualization of complex models, design of human-computer interactions, providing knowledge map based on clinical guidelines and data sources are used to endow the system with interpretability.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS), platelet-derived growth factor (PDGF)-B and lipopolysaccharide (LPS) in rat models with Budd-Chiari syndrome (BCS) . Methods BCS model was established by partial ligation of inferior vena cava in the posterior segment of the liver. The experimental rats were divided into control group (n=20), model group (n=20) and sham group (n=20) . Liver tissues were collected for immunohistochemistry, HE and Masson staining, and the expression levels of iNOS, PDGF-B and LPS were determined. Results The LPS value in model group was higher than that in both control group and sham group (P=0.001) . The mRNA and protein expressions of iNOS and PDGF-B in model group were higher than those in both control group and sham group (P=0.001) . Statistically significant differences in mRNA and protein expressions of iNOS and PDGF-B existed between each other among the subgroups (P=0.001) . In model group iNOS was positively correlated with PDGF-B and LPS; liver fibrosis was positively correlated with LPS and negatively correlated with PDGFB. Conclusion The damage and repair of BCS is a complicated process. The iNOS, PDGF-B and LPS may play different roles in different stages of BCS. How to regulate their balance in liver fibrosis may be a direction that deserves further study.
