BACKGROUND:The skin lesions, pathological and immunological characteristics of Nc/Nga mice are consistent with human atopic dermatitis, and as an atopic dermatitis animal model, it has great research value. But there are no reports on the physiological and biochemical parameters of Nc/Nga mice in China. OBJECTIVE:To observe the growth and reproduction and blood physiological and biochemical parameters of atopic dermatitis model of NC/Nga mice METHODS:The data of reproductive performance of NC/Nga mice from the first to the third generation was analyzed, including mean litter size, weaning rate, pregnancy rate and generation interval. The body mass of 60 Nc/Nga mice with 1-56 days old was measured, 30 mice of female and male, then the growth curve was draw. The blood samples from the infraorbital vessels were col ected to detect the blood physiological and biochemical parameters in the mice. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The mean delivery interval of Nc/Nga mice was (25.8±3.1) days, mean litter size was (7.5±2.5) mice, mean weaning rate was (97.2±1.2)%, the mean pregnancy rate was (97.0±1.4)%, and there was no significant difference among the three generations of these mice (P>0.05). The body mass of Nc/Nga mice was increased with the time increasing of days, the body mass of the mice was maximal within 1-2 weeks post-weaning, and there was no significant difference in body mass between males and females at 6 weeks post-weaning (P>0.05). Comparison of the blood physiological and biochemical parameters of mice at the same age between males and females showed that the levels of red blood cells and hemoglobin in female mice were significantly higher than those in the male mice;the platelet count in the male mice was significantly higher than that in the female mice (P<0.05);the triglycerides and albumin levels in the female mice were higher than those in the male mice (P<0.05). The results indicate that the gender and age may influence the blood physiological and biochemical parameters of Nc/Nga mice.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy and safety of total glucosides of paeony combined with ebastine for the treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria.Methods A randomized,open-labeled,positive drugcontrolled,parallel-group study was carried out.Sixty patients with chronic idiopathic urticaria were randomly divided into two groups using a random digit table:combined group treated with total glucosides of paeony 600 mg thrice daily combined with ebastine 10 mg per day,control group treated with ebastine 10 mg per day only.The treatment lasted 12 weeks followed by a four-week follow-up.Adverse reactions were recorded and treatment efficacy was evaluated by using urticaria activity score over seven days (UAS7).Results The UAS7 was 9.28 ±4.59,5.83 ± 4.44 and 7.52 ± 5.57 in the combined group on week 8,12 after the initiation of treatment and week 4 after the withdrawal of treatment,respectively,significantly lower than that in the control group at the three time points (13.29 ± 4.72,P ＜ 0.05; 9.86 ± 5.46,P ＜ 0.01; 16.21 ± 5.34,P ＜ 0.01).Significant differences were observed in the response rate between the combined group and control group at the end of the 12-week treatment (75.9％ vs.42.9％,x2 =4.56,P ＜ 0.05).There was a decreased recurrence rate in the combined group combined with the control group at the end of the follow-up (13.6％ vs.50.0％,x2 =3.90,P ＜0.05).No obvious adverse reactions were noted in either of the two groups.Conclusion Total glucosides of paeony could markedly enhance the efficacy of ebastine for the treatment of chronic idiopathic urticaria with a reduction in recurrence rate.

Objective To explore the regulative or mediating effect of perceived social support on the relationship between alexithymia and negative psychology of nurses.Methods A total of 503 nurses were surveyed by Toronto Alexithymia Scale-20 ( TAS-20),Perceived Social Support Scale ( PSSS ) and Genera Health Questionnaire-20 (GHQ-20).Results The scores of alexithymia,perceived social support and negative psychology of nurses were(54.82 ± 8.43 ),( 61.9 ± 9.78 ) and ( 3.70 ± 2.61 ),respectively.Alexithymia was significant positive correlated with negative psychology ( r =0.49,P ＜ 0.01 ),perceived social support was significant negative correlated with negative psychology ( r =-0.32,P＜ 0.01 ),alexithymia was significant negative correlated with perceived social support( r=-0.36,P＜0.01 ).In the test of Perceived social support's regulative effect between alexithymia and negative psychology,R12 was 0.259 and R22 was 0.257,R22 did not significantly improve,and in the second layer,t=-0.538,P＞ 0.05.The model fit indexes of perceived social support's partial mediating effect on the relationship between alexithymia and negative psychology were x2/df =1.645,RMSEA =0.036,CFI =0.995,IFI =0.995,RFI =0.960,TLI =0.984,NFI =0.987,GFI =0.993,AGFI =0.973.The model was proved well.Conclusion Perceived social support partially mediates the relationship between alexithymia and negative psychology,instand of regulating it.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effect of Shenluo'an Decoction(SD) for the treatment of obese patients with early diabetic nephropathy and to explore the possible mechanism.Methods A total of 68 obese patients with early diabetic nephropathy were randomly assigned into control group and treatment group,34 cases in each group.Both groups were given conventional western medicine treatment including lifestyle regulation,dietary control,and medicine for lowering blood pressure,blood glucose and blood lipids.Additionally,the control group was given oral use of Irbesartan,and the treatment group was given oral use of SD combined with Irbesartan.Before and after treatment,we observed the traditional Chinese medical syndrome scores,body mass index(BMI),blood levels of cystatin C (Cys C),β2-microglobumin(β2-MG),homocysteine (Hcy) and fasting blood glucose (FBG),and urine parameters of urinary monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 / urinary creatinine (UMCP-1/UCR),urinary factor of regulated on activation in normal T cell expressed and secreted / urinary creatinine (URANTES/UCR),urinary albumin-to-creatinine ratio (UACR) and urinary albumin excretion ratio (UAER) before treatment and after treatment for 16 weeks.After treatment,the clinical efficacy and safety were also evaluated.Results (1) During the treatment,5 cases were dropped out,and a total of 63 cases (32 from the treatment group and 31 from the control group) completed the experiment.(2) The total effective rate of the treatment group(90.6％) was significantly higher than that of the control group(67.7％),the difference being significant(P ＜ 0.05).(3)BMI of the two groups after treatment was significantly lower than that before treatment (P ＜ 0.05).(4) After treatment,the traditional Chinese medical syndrome scores,blood parameters (Cys C,β2-MG,Hcy,FBG) and urine parameters (UMCP-1/UCR,URANTES/UCR,UACR,UAER) in the treatment group were decreased as compared with those before treatment and those in the control group after treatment(P ＜0.05).(5) A positive correlation was present among the parameters of UMCP-1/UCR,URANTES/UCR,UACR and UAER.(6) No abnormal changes took place in the blood and stool routine examination,hepatic function,or electrocardiography of the 63 cases.Conclusion SD combined with western medicine exerts certain therapeutic effect for obese patients with early diabetic nephropathy,and is effective on relieving clinical symptoms anddecreasing BMI,Cys C,β2-MG,UACR,UAER,UMCP-1 and URANTES.Its mechanism is probably related with the inhibition of chronic renal inflammation.

Objective Systematic review the effect and side effect of Probucol on contrast-induced acute kidney injury (CIAKI), and to evaluate the characteristics and strength of the protective effect. Methods Electronic search studies from databases published in English and Chinese before March 2014, and hand searches of relevant randomized controlled trials of references. Features, the quality of research and valid data of included studies were extracted, then using RevMan 5.0 software to conduct a Meta-analysis base on Cochrane systematic review methods. Results A total of 11 literatures described eight randomized controlled trials involving 1938 cases of patients evaluated the effect of Probucal on CIAKI. A total of seven studies involving 1,298 patients, compared the incidence of CIAKI, the total incidence rate was 10.9%(141/1298), CIAKI incidence was 5.7%(37/652) in the Probucal group and 16.1%(104/646) in the control group (RR 0.37, 95%CI 0.26~0.53). Lower postoperative creatinine values was observed in Probucol group, compared with the control group on the first day Weighted Mean Difference (WMD-6.76, 95%CI-9.33~-4.20)μmol/L, the second day (WMD-16.90, 95%CI-22.61~-11.19)μmol/L, the third day(WMD-11.05, 95%CI-17.65~-4.45)μmol/L, and lower peak postoperative creatinine than the control group[(WMD- 14.58, 95%CI- 19.00 ~ - 10.16)μmol/L]. Probucol group with lower postoperative urinary KIM-1[(WMD-3.64 , 95%CI-3.72~-3.57) ng/ml], and the serum CysC was also low. Conclusions Preoperative or postoperative oral Probucol has a protective effect on CIAKI, can reduce the rise of postoperative renal injury indicators of coronary angiography or coronary intervention, such as serum creatinine and CysC, and CIAKI can be reduced by about 60%, no significant side effects observed.

Objective To estimate the clinical value of thinprep cytologic test (TCT) in screening cervical lesion. Methods 4234 TCT samples were interpreted according to the Besthesda System (TBS), 272positive cases (ASC-US or above) were taken colposcopic examination and biopsy. Results The coincidence of the results between TCT and biopsy in low-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (LSIL), high-grade squamous intraepithelial lesion (HSIL), squamous cell carcinoma (SCC), adenocarcinoma (AC) were 85.71%(12/14), 100 % (20/20), 75 % (3/4) and 100 % (2/2), respectively. The positive rates of over ASC-H by TCT and of over CIN Ⅰ by biopsy were 23.16 % (63/272) and 24.26 % (66/272), respectively. There is no difference between two positive rates (x2 = 0.868, P = 0.581). Conclusion TCT and histopathological diagnosis had a high coincidence, a combination of both can greatly enhance HSIL and cervical cancer and reduce the incidence of missed diagnosis. TCT would be a rapid and convenient method for screening cervical cancer.

Objective To study the expression and clinical correlation of miR-141 in peripheral blood and tumor tissue in elderly patients with rectal cancer.Methods Rectal tumor tissue and tumor-adjacent normal tissues were taken in 75 cases of rectal cancer.The expression levels of miR-141 in peripheral blood and tumor tissue as well as tumor-adjacent normal tissues were determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction method.The correlation of miR-141 expression between peripheral blood and tumor tissue,and the correlation of peripheral blood miR-141 with clinicopathologic features and clinical prognosis were analyzed.Results (1) Compared with peripheral blood in the subjects undergoing normal physical examination or tumor-adjacent normal tissue in the patients with rectal cancer,the miR-141 expression level in peripheral blood and tumor tissue in the patients with rectal cancer was decreased significantly (P<0.01).(2) The cancer tissue miR-141 level in the patients with lymph node metastasis was positively correlated with peripheral blood miR-141 level (r=0.694,P<0.01),and cancer tissue miR-141 level in the patients without lymph node metastasis was positively correlated with peripheral blood miR-141 level (r=0.725,P<0.01).(3) The differences between peripheral blood miR-141 level with tumor stage,tumor differentiation degree and lymphatic metastasis had statistical significance (P<0.01).(4)The postoperative 6-month follow up displayed that among 75 cases,13 cases(17.33%) appeared replase/ metastasis,and peripheral blood miR-141 level was (2.64±0.34),which was significantly lower than that in the patents without replase/metastasis (P<0.01).Conclusion Expression variation trend of miR-141 in peripheral blood is similar to that in tumor tissue,which can reflect the clinicopathologic feature in the patients with rectal patients.

AIM　To investigate the relationship between sinomenine distribution and its organic toxicology in rats so as to give some pharmacological data for clinical application of sinomenine. METHODS　Three kinds of administration plans were designed in the experiment, ie sinomenine was ip administered at the dosage of l50 mg*kg-1 per day, repreat-dosed for 6 wk and suspended the drug for 1 wk after 6wk repeat-doses．At the end of the each administration plan，the animals were sacrificed and their blood and their main internal organs were collected for the purpose of measurement of sinomenine concentration in each sample by HPLC. Meanwhile，the histopathological and serological examinations were also done in the experiments. RESULTS　The sinomenine concentration in rats internal organs were in order of liver, heart, lung and brain either in single-dosed treated animals or in repeat-dosed treated animals for 6 wk. However，the concentration of sinomenine could not be detected by HPLC after l wk drug-suspension，the histopathological examination showed that sinomenine at the dosage of l50 mg*kg-l per day for 6wk treatment could slightly damage liver ce11s, dominant1y caused the cell edema，but no any influence on the sero1ogy of liver and kidney. Sinomenine ip could also cause a mild hyperaemia of the rats heart tissues but no any histopathological changes had been observed. In testis tissues no sinomenine had beed detected although the animals were treated by repeat treatment for 6 wk and no any histopathological changes had been found yet. However, Sinomenine could partialy inhibit the sperm vitalities and amount of the dead sperms were a1so augmented. It was similar to in vitro eperiments. These influences of sinomenine on testis could be quickly recovered by drug suspension. CONCLUSION　Sinomenine concentration were in order of liver, heart, kidney, lung and brain either in treatment by single dose or by repeat-dose administration. The histopathological changes were only abserved in liver cells of the animals which indicates that it should be in consideration of the liver functions during treatment course of the drug.
