Objective To investigate the effects of Tongmai Tang on the production of nitric oxide(NO) and the balance of fibrinolysis system in human umbilical vein endothelial cells(HUVEC) injured by oxidized low density lipoprotein(oxLDL). Methods The herbage-contained serum of Tongmai Tang and oxLDL were prepared, then the human HUVEC-304 cells were divided into 4 groups: ⑴control group; ⑵bovine serum control group; ⑶oxLDL group: 100mg/L oxLDL, and ⑷Tongmai Tang group: 5% herbage-contained serum of Tongmai Tang and 100mg/L oxLDL. After 24h incubation, the morphology of the endothelial cells was observed under the inversion microscope, while the concentrations of NO, t-PA and PAI-1 in the culture medium were measured. Results ⑴The endothelial cells in oxLDL group were seriously injured, while those in Tongmai Tang group got better; ⑵the concentrations of NO and t-PA in the oxLDL group were significantly lower than those in the control group(P

41 cases of infant thrush in observation group were treated by 10% rhubarb decoction wipe on the affected area followed by pow-dered “alum 3 +goldthread 2 +borneol 1”coating;41 cases in the control group were treated by 1% ~2% baking soda scrub on the affect-ed area followed by glycerol wipe containing 50 000 to 100 000 units/ml of nystatin.The efficiency was 95.12%(39 /41)and 75.61%(31 /41)in observation and control groups respectively(P <0.05).The external use of chinese medicine is effective in the treatment of in-fant thrush.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to determine the awareness oral medical interns about occupation safety protection of knowledge and to present a scientific basis for perfecting the occupation safety education system and standard protection behavior.

METHODSA self-designed questionnaire that used a retrospective questionnaire survey on 425 stomatological interns, scoring, and statistical analysis of the survey were performed. The questionnaire included occupation safety prevention knowledge, behavior cognitive, and protective behavior, among others.

RESULTSThe questionnaire recovery rate was 100%, and the average scores of the prevention knowledge and behavior cognitive were 4.55 ± 0.91 and 4.40 ± 1.05, respectively. More than 90% interns can conduct the conventional protection, and less than 40% can perform special protection. For the item "occupation safety protection knowledge", the scores of three grade III hospitals were higher than that of stomatological hospitals and second level of first-class hospitals; the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001). For the items "behavior cognition" and "protective behavior", the scores of the second level of first-class hospitals were lower than those of grade III hospitals and stomatolgical hospitals (P < 0.001). The second level of first-class hospitals was relatively poor in safety protection knowledge, behavioral cognitive, and protection behavior. The average score was higher for than for boys in the three contents, and the average score of interns accepting pre-job training was higher than those rejected; the difference was statistically significant (P < 0.001).

CONCLUSIONThe occupation safety knowledge of oral medical interns is not sufficient, and the protective behavior is poor. Schools and hospitals should strengthen the intern occupation safety and protection education and improve the status of occupation safety behavior.

Specific antibodies purified from sera of rabbit infected with Toxoplasma gondii were used to immun-oscreen the 12-mer and 7-mer phage random peptide libraries. By 3 rounds of screening, 70 clones were picked out ra-ndomly to test the specificity and 43 were found positive by ELISA. 23 of the 43 positive clones showing strong reaction in ELISA were picked out for sequencing. Clone A7 was selected as mimic antigen in ELISA test after analysis of the 23 short peptide sequences. 23 out of 47 sera from rabbits infected with Toxoplasma gondii were ELISA positive by A7 mimic antigen with a positive rate of 68.1%, and 10 of 155 sera from healthy persons showed false positive with a sp-ecificity of 93.5%. The primary result suggests that mimic antigen may have a potential use in diagnose of toxoplasmosis.

BACKGROUND:Many articles concerned novel al eles reported in China and outside China, but some al eles were detected lately. After that, these al eles were tested again. Because frequencies of these al eles are very low, few relevant articles are reported, so these al eles are ignored easily. OBJECTIVE:To test and identify four human leukocyte antigen rare al eles that patients and donors carries. METHODS:Genomic DNA was extracted automatical y from blood samples using quick DNA purified kit, typed by human leukocyte antigen locus commercial sequence-based typing kits and confirmed by sequence-specific primers high-resolution kits. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Four detected rare al eles are B*27:15, B*51:39, C*07:66 and C*08:22. The four above-mentioned human leukocyte antigen rare al eles defined by National Marrow Donor Program are not rare in China. The facts prove that C*08:22 which was defined a rare al ele by National Marrow Donor Program before is a common al ele in Chinese Han nationality.

Objective;To explore the regulative effect of perceived social support between personality and mental health.Methods;With Perceived Social Support Scale,NEO Five Factor Inventory and General Health Questionnaire-GHQ 20,1800 college students from 9 Hunan colleges and universities were inverstigated.Results;①Significant positive correlation existed between the factors of GHQ-20 and NEO-N,while significant negative correlation between the factors of GHQ-20 and NEO-E,NEO-C and all factors of perceived social support;perceived social support and its factors had significant negative correlation with NEO-N,while significant positive correlation with NEO-E and NEO-C.②There was significant interaction effects between perceived social support and personality existing in mental health.Conclusion;Students' perceived social support play a regulative role between personality and mental health.

Objective: To construct and identify a lentiviral vector harboring RNAi sequence targeting the human high mobility group A1(HMGA1) gene.Methods: The effective sequence of siRNA targeting the HMGA1 gene confirmed in our previous study,the complementary DNA containing both sense and antisense Oligo DNA of the targeting sequence was designed,synthesized and cloned into the pGCL-GFP vector diced by the restriction enzyme of HpaⅠ and XhoⅠ,which contained the U6 promoter and green fluorescent protein(GFP).The resulting lentiviral vector containing HMGA1 shRNA was named LV-sh HMGA1 and confirmed by PCR and DNA sequencing.A total of 293T cells were cotransfected with LV-sh HMGA1,pHelper 1.0 and pHelper 2.0.All the virus stocks were produced by Lipofectamine2000-mediated transfection.The titer of the virus was tested according to the expression level of GFP.Results: PCR analysis and DNA sequencing demonstrated that the RNAi sequence targeting the human HMGA1 gene was successfully inserted into the lentiviral vector.The titer of the recombinant lentiviral vector was 5?107 TU/ml.Conclusion: The successful construction of the lentiviral vector of HMGA1 has prepared the ground for further studies on the functions of the HMGA1 gene with the RNAi technique.

Systemic sclerosis is an autoimmune disease characterized by skin thickening and tightness.Digestive system is the most commonly damaged system secondary to skin,and as to unspecific clinical manifestations,this complication is often ignored in the early,the prognosis and quality of life of patients will be affected.This article overviews the recent research developments on pathology,clinical features,management of systemic sclerosis with digestive system involvement,to draw attention to early diagnosis and treatment of this condition for the improvement of the prognosis.

AIM:To investigate the effect of ERK1/2/c-Fos signal pathway during angiotensin-(1-7)inhibiting proliferation of rat glomerular mesangial cell strain(GMCS)induced by angiotensin Ⅱ.METHODS:Rat glomerular mesangial cells(GMC)were co-cultured with angiotensin Ⅱ and different doses of angiotensin-(1-7).The numbers of GMC were evaluated by crystal violet staining.The amounts of p-ERK1/2 and c-Fos expressions were detected by Western blotting.RESULTS:Angiotensin-(1-7)showed its inhibitory effects on GMC number increasing induced by angiotensin Ⅱ as well as the amounts of p-ERK1/2 and c-Fos expressions in a concentration dependent manner.CONCLUSION:ERK/c-Fos signal pathway is involved in the inhibitory effects of angiotensin-(1-7)on angiotensin Ⅱ-induced GMC proliferation.
