Objective To observe the effect of Chinese medicine of Gukang(GK) on bone mineral density(BMD) in osteoporosis rats.Methods Seventy-two female SD rats were randomized into 6 groups: pseudo-operation group,model group,nilestriol group(in the dose of 1mg/kg),and high-,middle-and low-dose GK groups(9.6,4.8 and 2.4 g?kg-1?d-1 respectively).Rat models of osteoporosis were induced by removal of bilateral ovaries.Three months after operation,the rats were given the corresponding medicine according the experimental design.After treatment for 3 months,in-vivo BMD as well as the in-vitro BMD in the isolated left femur and tibia was detected with dual energy X-ray bone densitometer.Results The in-vivo general BMD and lumbar BMD of the model group were decreased(P

Objective To study the effect of integrated tradition and western medicine on unstable angina.Methods Sixty-six patients with unstable angina were randomized into two groups:control group treated only with routine therapy(n=33) and experiment group treated with routine and jia jian luang gan jian therapy(n=33).The difference of EKG,symptoms and clinic comprehensive evaluation between before treatment and after-3-week-treatment were compared.Results The rate of symptoms and ECG improvement was higher in experiment group than control group(94% vs 73%;73% vs 45%).The difference of clinic comprehensive score between before treatment and after 3 weeks treatment was significantly higher in experiment group.Conclusion The treatment of integrated tradition and western medicine on patients with unstable angina is more effective.

Objective To explore the speech respiratory characteristics of 7-15 years old children with spastic cerebral palsy and the differences between ordinary children and children with cerebral palsy.Methods The maximum phonation time (MPT) and maximum counting ability (MCA) of 90 ordinary children and 58 children with cerebral palsy aged 7-15 years were measured and a comparison between the 2 groups were conducted.Results (1) Age has significant effects on MPT and MCA of the ordinary children (P ＜0.05).The MPT and MCA of the ordinary children at the age of 7 ～9 years and 10 ～ 12 years are lower than the ones at the age of 13 ～ 15 years.Age has almost no effects on MPT and MCA of children with cerebral palsy(P ＞0.05) ; (2)Sex has no significant effects on MPT and MCA of ordinary children and children with cerebral palsy (P ＞0.05) ; (3) The MPT and MCA of children with cerebral palsy are significantly lower than those of ordinary children (P ＜0.05).Conclusions The MPT and MCA of ordinary children are increased with the growth of age,especially after the age of 13 years,but the children with spastic cerebral palsy do not show that kind of trend and demonstrate a state of retardation of speech respiratory function.Compared with ordinary children,the children with spastic cerebral palsy are easier to suffer from insufficient respiratory support and poor respiratory-phonatory coordination.

Objectives To assess the efifcacy of nasal bilevel positive airway pressure (nBiPAP) in preventing extuba-tion failure of neonatal respiratory distress syndrome (RDS) in premature infants. Methods Premature infants (≤32 weeks) diagnosed as RDS and treated with mechanical ventilation, admitted to the neonatal intensive care unit from January 2011 to June 2012, were enrolled in the prospective controlled trial. Fifty-six infants receiving non-invasive ventilation due to unrelieved expiratory dyspnea after the ifrst extubation were selected, and were randomly divided into nBiPAP group (n=27) and nCPAP group (n=29). Blood gas analysis before and after non-invasive ventilation, the failure rate of non-invasive venti-lation in seven days and the incidence of various complications were compared between two groups. Results The blood gas analysis for the ifrst time after extubation suggested that infants treated with nBiPAP had a higher PaO2 level ((58.7±6.3) vs. (55.1±5.9) mmHg, P<0.05) and lower PaCO2 level ((46.4±4.9) vs. (49.9±5.0) mmHg, P<0.05) than those treated with nCPAP. Infants treated with nBiPAP had lower incidence of extubation failure in seven days than infants treated with nCPAP (7.4%vs. 31.0%, P=0.042). The incidence of complications between two groups was similar. Conclusions nBiPAP is safe and fea-sible for preventing extubation failure in preterm infants≤32 weeks with RDS and is more effective than nCPAP.

BACKGROUND:Transgenosis of basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) gene has been successfully performed into the muscle satellite cells of rat extraocular muscles in the previous study of the research group, proving that bFGF could express in the myoblasts of extraocular muscles, also promote cell proliferation and differentiation.OBJECTIVE: To further investigate the methods for regulating the expression of the bFGF in myoblasts following transfection. METHODS: Target gene bFGF was connected with inducing expression vector pcDNA4/T0/myc-His?A, followed by masculine clone sequencing identified by colony PCR and enzyme digestion, EcoR I and Hind III restriction enzyme digestion, as well as Xho I single enzyme verification. C2C12 myoblasts antibiotics sensitivity was screened and finally defined. By use of lipofection transfection technology, cell lines where C2C12 stably expressed pcDNA6/TR were estabolishd and then identified by Western blot. The pcDNA4/TO/myc-His?A-bFGF was transfected into pcDNA6/TR- C2C12 cells. The bFGF expression and secretion in C2C12 cells following tetracycline-induced pcDNA4/TO/myc-His?A-bFGF transfection were determined by immunofluorescence and Western blot, the controls were established.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: ① The conjunction between the bFGF and inducing expression vector pcDNA4/TO/myc-His?A was proved successfully by sequencing comparison, double digestion and single digestion. ②The minimal lethal concentration of blasticidin to C2C12 cells was 10 mg/L, while that of zeocin was 750 mg/L. ③ The pcDNA6/TR-C2C12 cell lines were established correctly. ④ The myoblasts treated by tetracycline and transfected with pcDNA4/TO/myc-His?A-bFGF were positive for gene expression, those untreated exhibited a negativity; bFGF protein could be produced in myoblasts treated by tetracycline and transfected with pcDNA4/TO/myc-His?A-bFGF, the production reached a peak at 24 hours, while those untreated can not produce bFGF protein. Results suggest that the bFGF expression in the myoblasts can be controlled by tetracycline inhibition and regulatory systems.

This study was aimed to observe the intervention effect of oxidation/antioxidation at different time point among mice induced by lipopolysaccharide (LPS) and bleomycin. It provided experimental basis for the establishment of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) animal model with qi-deficiency and phlegm-obstructing pattern with inducers mentioned above. A total of 96 mice were randomly divided into the normal control group, bleomycin group, and LPS group, with 32 mice in each group. In the bleomycin group and LPS group, 40 μL of nasal drops were given with bleomycin at the concentration of 3.75 μg/μL or LPS at the concentration of 5 μg/μL, respectively to establish the COPD animal model with qi-deficiency and phlegm-obstructing pattern. On the 1st day, 7th day, 14th day and 28th day after the model establishment, the general status and activities of mice were recorded. And traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) signs such as skin color of the four limbs, skin color under the tongue and color of the tail were also collected when the animal model was sacrificed. At each time point, 8 mice were sacrificed. The lung tissues were removed. And the contents of GSH, MDA, SOD and T-AOC were detected in the homogenate of lung tissues. The results showed that compared with the normal control group, mice in the bleomycin group had slightly dull eyes, dry hair without burnish, upright and fluffy hair, dark purple skin color of the auricle and four claws, tiredness, inactivity, occasional cough, asthma or rapid breathing. The GSH content of lung tissues on the 7th day, 14th day and 28th day was obviously reduced (P< 0.05, or P< 0.01). The MDA, SOD and T-AOC contents on the 1st day, 7th day, 14th day and 28th day were obviously reduced (P< 0.05, or P< 0.01). Compared with the normal control group, mice in the LPS group had slightly dull eyes, soft hair with slight burnish, pale red skin color of the auricle and four claws, tiredness; some mice preferred to gather. Contents of GSH and SOD in lung tissues on the 1st day and 7th day were obviously reduced (P< 0.05, or P< 0.01). Contents of MDA and T-AOC on the 1st day, 7th day and 14th day were obviously reduced (P < 0.05, or P < 0.01). It was concluded that obvious oxidation/antioxidation imbalance started on the 7th day in lung tissues of mice in the bleomycin group. It reduced later on. And the oxidation/antioxidation imbalance continued until the end of the model establishment. Obvious oxidation/antioxidation imbalance started on the 1st day in lung tissues of mice in the LPS group. However, this oxidation/antioxidation imbalance was adjusted back to normal level through time.

Objective By analyzing the graph features of fundamental frequency at different rates of/i/with continuously variable pitch and loundness made by normal adults,we could explore that the rate and gender have some impact on the graph to lay the foundation of regulating the clinical maximum counting ability.Methods Nor-mal adults of 51 (25 males,26 females were included).After each deep breathing,the subjects respectively took sustained speech/i/ with continuously variable pitch and lounolness twice at different rates of fast,medium and slow speed.Some parameters were measured byDoctor Speechat different rates of the tone/i/:Total time(T), Mean time standard deviation (MTSD),Mean wave crest (MWC),Mean wave trough (MWT),Mean frequency range (MFR),Mean frequency range standard deviation (MFRSD),comparing the speed having some effect on those above parameters with gender.ResuIts ①With the increasing rate of speech,the tone/i/of T (P<0.001), MFR (P<0.01)and MTSD (P<0.001)were significantly decreased,MWT significantly increased (P<0.001), While the MWC and MFRSD did not change significantly (P>0.05 ).②The tone /i/ of T (P>0.05 )were not effected by gender,female's MWT (P<0.001),MWC (P<0.001),MFR (P<0.001),MFRSD (P<0.01)were obviously higher than male's,while female's MTSD were significantly larger than male's (P<0.01).ConcIusion We should consider the impact of rate of speech and gender in clinical tests and values of MCA.The maximum counting capacity can be respectively tested at three different rates of speech for each subject,but only are the tone/i/of fun-damental frequency graphs with MWT,MWC,MFR,and MFRSD in normal range with corresponding speed and gender,can we get the value or can the value be valid.

Objective To explore the correlation of single nucleotide polymorphism ( SNP ) in Nrf2 gene with acute mountain sickness ( AMS) among Han populations in China .Methods As a nested case-control study , 603 Chinese Han young men who had been quickly exposed to 3700 m were adopted and divided into case group and control group ( 369 vs 234,respectively) by Lake Louise Self-assessment Scoring System(LLSS).The Sequenom Mass Array system was used to detect the SNPs of rs10497511 and rs2364722 in Nrf2 gene.Results Alleles of rs10497511 and rs2364722 were respec-tively detected in both case and control groups , which were T-C and A-G.Statistically significant difference was not found in allele frequencies ( P>0.05 ) .Further analysis showed that there was still no significant difference between the codomi -nant, dominant and recessive genotype models (P>0.05).Conclusion rs10497511 and rs2364722 of Nrf2 gene may not be related to susceptibility to AMS in Chinese Han populations .
