[Objective]To study the changes of the histomorphology and content of hydroxyproline that irradiated by 2.87 Mrad ?-rays in human tendon. [Methods]Forty fresh human tendons were freezed in-80℃ for six weeks,and randomly divided into two groups: the experimental group(group A) and control group(group B).Group A stored in dry ice was exposed to ?-rays until the absorbed dose reached 2.87 Mrad.The tendons was stained with HE and VG methods,and then observed by common light microscope and transmission electron microscope respectively.The content of hydroproline in tendon collagen hydrolysate was determined by the high performance liquid chromatography with precolumn derivation.[Results]①The results of histomorphology observation revealed that compared to the control group,the gaps between collagen fiber bands in irradiation group were enlarged,incompact,disordered and some of them fractured.The electron microscope observation showed that the transverse striation of the collagen fibers became unclear or disappeared.The membrane of tendon cell was dissolved,the cell nuclear was disintegrated and the organelles was reduced.②The content of hydroxyproline in the collagen hydrolysate of irradiation group was significantly higher than that in non-irradiation group under the same hydrolysis condition(P

Objective To improve the 2,3,5-triphenyl tetrazolium chloride (TTC) solution method for measuring the viability of Cistanche deserticola seeds and investigate the change in viability during storage at 5 ℃. Methods The effect of the testa,TTC concentration,sodium hypochlorite concentration (NaClO),and staining time were studied,and seed viability during storage at 5 ℃ was measured with the improved method. Results Seeds were kept for 48 h in 0.5% TTC solution at 40 ℃,and then for 2 h in 0.2% NaClO solution;Seed viability was measured under a stereomicroscope. Storing seeds of C. deserticola for 1 to 2 years at 5 ℃ had no significant effects on their viability. However,the percentage of seeds with high viability was increased with the extension of the storage time at 5 ℃. Conclusion A convenient and rapid method for measuring the viability of C. deserticola seeds is developed. Storing C. deserticola seeds at 5 ℃ could improve their viability

OBJECTIVE To study the pharmacokinetics and tissue distribution of deferiprone (DFP) in rats. METHODS Plasma and tissues were collected after male Wistar rats were ig given DFP 35, 70 and 140 mg·kg~(-1) at different time points. The DFP in plasma and tissues was determined by high performance liquid chromatography. The compartment model was fitted and pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated by DAS 2.0. RESULTS The results showed that the pharmacokinetic process of DFP in rats was two-compartment model after rats were ig given DFP 35, 70 and 140 mg·kg~(-1). The t_(1/2α) were 23.3, 22.2 and 20.9 min, respectively. The t_(1/2β) were 53.3, 50.9 and 46.3 min, respectively. The Cl were 0.017, 0.021 and 0.016 L·min~(-1)·kg~(-1), respectively. The content of DFP was high in stomach and liver tissues after rats were ig given DFP 70 mg·kg~(-1), and it was lower in the other tissues. The content of DFP in liver tissues was (359.22±31.16)μg·g~(-1), at 60 min after rats were ig given DFP 70 mg·kg~(-1). CONCLUSION The absorption and elimination of DFP are quick and the tissue distribution of DFP is wide in vivo.

Purpose To investigate the clinicopathological features of multilocular cystic renal cell carcinoma ( MCRCC) , and to im-prove the understanding of this disease. Methods Thirty-two of MCRCC were studied by clinic data, pathological features and immu-nophenotype. All the thirty-two cases were followed up. Results In this study, thirty-two patients were diagnosed as MCRCC with a male-to-female ratio of 2.2 : 1, thirteen of whom had the tumor in the left kidney, eighteen in the right kidney, another in the double kidneys. The mean of tumor diameter was 4.6 cm (1.0~8.0 cm). Eleven patients underwent radical nephrectomy while the other 21 patients received nephron sparing surgery. Microscopically, all the cases were multiocular, lined in the cyst wall by a single layer of tumor cells with the clear or pale cytoplasm and Fuhrman grade 1 nuclei. Occasionally, the lining consisted of several layers of tumor cells or a few small papillae were present. The linings of the cyst wall were rich in thin-wall blood vessels. Immunohistochemically, the tumor cells were positive for CK(32/32), CK7(25/32), EMA(32/32), CD10(23/32) and vimentin(20/32), while negative for CD68. Conclusions MCRCC is characteristic by low grade nuclei, lacking solid nodules, and in the cyst wall, and has a favourable prognosis. The rich in thin-wall blood vessels and the lining cells with the clear or pale cytoplasm are diagnosis clues.

Objective To investigate about establishment the animal model of atrial fibrillation(AF) by high thyroxine and electrophysiological study of left atrium.Methods 49 rabbits were randomly divided into three groups, control group (10, injection of saline), withdrawal group (20, injection of levo-thyroxine 50μg/kg, change to inject isodose saline after two months), continuous dosing group (19, injection of levo-thyroxine 50μg/kg everyday).the data of left atrium effective refractory period(AERP), conduction velocity(CV), wavelength(WL) and AF induced ratio were collected after four months.Results The withdrawal group and continuous dosing group AERP200, AERP150 were more shorter than the control group after two months(P<0.05), The continuous dosing group AERP200, AERP150 was shorter significantly than withdrawal group and control group after four months ( P<0.01 ).The withdrawal group and continuous dosing group CV were slower than control group after two months ( P<0.05 ).The continuous dosing group CV was slower significantly than withdrawal group and control group after four months ( P<0.01 ).The withdrawal group and continuous dosing group WL were shorter than control group after two months(P<0.05), The continuous dosing group WL was shorter significantly than withdrawal group and control group after four months (P<0.01).The AF induced ratio in the continuous dosing group increased significantly(P<0.01). After four months, but the withdrawal group decreased, the control group did not induce AF.Conclusion It's feasible to establish the rabbit model of AF by high thyroxine, with left atrium electrophysiological changes, which provides animal model for further to study the pathogenesis of AF cause of hyperthyroidism.

Background and purpose:To perform whole mount technique in the diagnosis of the prostate cancer could provide orientation to the specimen. Whole mount technique has great value in pathologic diagnosis and morphological research. However, limited by the specimen-making technique, shortage of equipment and heavy workload, this technique has not been generally accepted in China. The aim of this study was to evaluate the signiifcance of whole mount technique in the diagnosis of the prostate cancer by comparing the clinical and pathological variables between whole mount patients and conventional ones after radical prostatectomy (RP).Methods:A total number of 229 patients’ whole mount RP specimens were recruited in the study from Dec. 2012 to Feb. 2014. The control group included 393 patients’ specimens which underwent conventional sampling from Jan. 2010 to Jun. 2012. We compared the clinical and pathological variables between the groups, including age, preoperative PSA level, methods of diagnosis, preliminary diagnostic Gleason score, clinical T stage, postoperative Gleason score, pathological T stage, positive surgical margin, extraprostatic extension, seminal vesicle invasion and pelvic lymph node metastasis.Results:Two groups shared similar preoperative parameters. Also there was no signiifcant difference between the whole mount and the conventional sampling groups in postoperative Gleason score, pathological T stage, extraprostatic extension and pelvic lymph node metastasis. However, positive surgical margin and seminal vesicle invasion rates were much higher in the whole mount group than the control one and both of the differences reached statistical signiifcance (26.2%vs 17.6%, 23.1%vs 17.0%;P=0.010, 0.025)Conclusion:After compared the clinical and pathological variables, we could conclude that whole mount technique has prevalence in the diagnosis of the positive surgical margin and seminal vesicle invasion compared with the conventional sampling technique. Thus, whole mount technique should be strongly recommended in the diagnosis of prostate cancer.

Objective:To investigate the clinical application of multimodal low-opioid combined with saphenous nerve block analgesia in elderly patients undergoing knee arthroplasty.Methods:This study is a randomized controlled study.A total of 60 elderly patients who underwent elective knee arthroplasty in the Department of Orthopedics, the First Hospital of Shanxi Medical University from January 2021 to December 2021 were selected and divided into 2 groups by numerical randomization: mode low opioid analgesia regimen group(observation group)and traditional analgesia regimen group(control group), 30 cases in each group.Observation group: (1)Preemptive analgesia: Oral celecoxib 200 mg, qd.from 3 days before surgery, the mini-mental state examination(MMSE)score was used to evaluate the cognitive function; (2)Intraoperative analgesia: After the prosthesis was installed, choose to inject analgesics around the knee joint(ropivacaine 200 mg, morphine 5 mg, epinephrine 0.25 mg, dexamethasone 5 mg/100 ml normal saline, also known as "cocktail" solution); (3)Postoperative analgesia: After the operation, continuous saphenous nerve block(0.2% ropivacaine, 2 ml/h)was performed under ultrasound guidance, and the dose of nerve block was adjusted according to the degree of rehabilitation training.Control group: no special treatment before and during the operation, traditional postoperative patient-controlled intravenous analgesia(PCIA)was used after the operation, the formula WAs as follows: sufentanil(2 μg/kg)+ flurbiprofen axetil(200-300 mg)+ Tropisetron(5-10 mg). The numerical rating scale(NRS)scores were observed and recorded 1 day before surgery, 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after surgery; the time of the first active straight leg raising after surgery, the time of landing; the range of motion(ROM)of the knee joint 3, 7, and 14 days after surgery; the American Hospital for Special Surgery Knee Score(HSS)at 14 days, 1, 3, and 6 months after surgery; serum substance P(SP)and interleukin-6(IL-6)concentrations 1 day before surgery and 48 hours after surgery, and adverse events were recorded.Results:Compared with the control group, the patients in the observation group had lower NRS scores at 6, 12, 24, and 48 hours after the operation( t=27.705, 27.532, 21.739, 25.780, all P<0.05); the first active straight leg raising time and the time of landing earlier after the operation, and the knee joint at 3, 7, and 14 days after the operation, the range of motion(ROM)was better( t=35.496, 43.716, 3.766, 5.216, 6.009, all P<0.05). And the American hospital for special surgery knee score(HSS)was higher at 14 days, 1 month, and 3 months after surgery( t=19.247, 32.337, 22.651, all P<0.05), but there was no significant difference at 6 months after surgery.Simultaneously, the serum SP and IL-6 concentrations in the observation group 48 h after the operation were (431.0±11.3)ng/L and(11.9±2.7)ng/L, respectively.Compared with the control group(442.5±15.6)ng/L, (14.4±2.9)ng/L( t=5.362, 4.144, both P<0.05). Compared with the control group, which were lower than those in the incidence of postoperative nausea and vomiting was lower, the length of hospital stay was shorter in the observation group( χ2=4.630, t=3.311, P=0.031, 0.002), and the other indicators had no statistical differences(all P>0.05). Conclusions:Multimodal low-opioid combined with saphenous nerve block analgesia can significantly reduce perioperative pain in elderly patients undergoing knee arthroplasty, improve early postoperative mobility, and speed up postoperative functional recovery.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: This study examined the relationship between famine exposure in early life and the risk of type 2 diabetes in adulthood during the 1959–1961 Chinese Famine. SUBJECTS/METHODS: A total of 3,418 individuals aged 35–74 years free of diabetes from two studies in 2006 and 2009 were followed up prospectively in 2009 and 2012, respectively. Famine exposure was classified as unexposed (individuals born in 1962–1978), fetal exposed (individuals born in 1959–1961), child exposed (individuals born in 1949–1958), and adolescent/adult exposed (born in 1931–1948). A logistic regression model was used to assess the relationship between famine exposure and diabetes after adjustment for potential covariates. RESULTS: During a three-year follow-up, the age-adjusted incidence rates of type 2 diabetes were 5.7%, 14.5%, 12.7%, and 17.8% in unexposed, fetal-exposed, child-exposed, and adolescent/adult-exposed groups, respectively (P < 0.01). Relative to the unexposed group, the relative risks (95% confidence interval) for diabetes were 2.15 (1.29–3.60), 1.53 (0.93– 2.51), and 1.65 (0.75–3.63) in the fetal-exposed, child-exposed, and adolescent/adult-exposed groups, after controlling for potential covariates. The interactions between famine exposure and obesity, education level, and family history of diabetes were not observed, except for the urbanization type. Individuals living in rural areas with fetal and childhood famine exposure were at a higher risk of type 2 diabetes, with relative risks of 8.79 (1.82–42.54) and 2.33 (1.17–4.65), respectively. CONCLUSIONS These findings indicate that famine exposure in early life is an independent predictor of type 2 diabetes, particularly in women. Early identification and intervention may help prevent diabetes in later life.

Objective To analyze the death status of children ≤ 5 years old in Jiaxing City from 2013 to 2017,and to provide scientific and effective measures of decreasing the children mortality and ensuring the health of children.Methods Death surveillance data of children ≤5 years old was obtained from monitoring network covering the whole city of maternal and child health information systems and the relevant maternal and child health statistics.The mortality rate,the sequence and changing trend of main death causes,prenatal health services of children ≤5 years old in Jiaxing City from 2013 to 2017were analyzed.Results From 2013 to 2017,there were 2 788 cases death of children ≤5 years old in Jiaxing City.The neonatal mortality rate (NMR),infant mortality rate (IMR),≤5 years old children mortality rate(U5MR) in Jiaxing City were 2.33‰,3.52‰ and 4.83 ‰,respectively.The mortality rates of all ages showed a declining trend year by year (x2NMR =19.641,P＜0.001;x2IMR =31.705,P ＜0.001;x2U5MR =48.294,P ＜0.001).There were significant differences in the mortality between the lower local and the migrant children (x22013 =26.16,x22014 =18.45,x22015 =27.72,x22016 =14.49,x22017=24.19;P＜0.001).The top two causes of death in children ≤ 5 years old were drowning,premature birth and low birth weight.The top two causes of death in infants and newborns were premature birth,low birth weight and other congenital anomalies.In the recent five years,49.60％ of children ≤5 years old died in the hospital.At the same time,the proportion of deaths on the way and at home was 15.64％ and 34.76％ respectively.Although there was a gap in the level of prenatal health services between local and mobile children,the gap has been declining year by year.Conclusions The key measures to decrease the mortality rate of children under 5 years old in Jiaxing City include strengthening the management of pregnancy care and high-risk pregnancy;paying attention to tertiary prevention and doing a good job in monitoring birth defects such as prenatal screening;enhancing safety education and child supervision for parents of children in 1-4 years old;reinforcing the construction of maternal and child health professional team and the technical training of newborn resuscitation techniques such as neonatal asphyxia recovery technology;intensifying the health-care and management of migrant children and improving the ability of parents to utilize child medical service.

African swine fever(ASF),caused by the African swine fever virus(ASFV),is a highly contagious infectious disease of pigs.This disease has been spread rapidly in China since 2018,po-sing a huge threat to China's pig farming industry.To rapid detect the ASFV,a loop-mediated iso-thermal amplification(LAMP)combined with the disposable nucleic acid visualization test strip was established for visual detection of the nucleic acid of ASFV B646L gene.The method was easy to operate without special instruments and equipment,while it effectively avoided the disadvantage of false positives caused by aerosol contamination.The method was able to detect 1.16 copies/μL of the recombinant plasmid in 50 min at 65 ℃.In addition,the method was specific with no cross-re-action with classical swine fever virus,porcine reproductive and respiratory syndrome virus,por-cine parvovirus,transmissible gastroenteritis virus.The results in this study provides a rapid,con-venient,sensitive and reliable method for early diagnosis and screening for ASFV suspected infec-tion cases.
