To select appropriate descriptors for response of the patient-reported outcome (PRO) scale for the main symptoms of patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) complicated with pulmonary heart disease.

AIM: To investigate DNA-binding activity of nuclear factor ka ppa B (NF-?B) and pyrrolidine dithiocarbamate (PDTC) anti-inflammation effect and mechanism in trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS)-induced acute colitis in rats. METHODS: Acute colitis was induced by instilling TNBS/ ethanol into the lumen of the rat colon. Rats were randomized into PDTC-treat g roup (including group P10,P25,P50,P100), TNBS/ethanol group and normal control g roup. The rats in PDTC-treated group were injected intraperitoneally with PDTC at the dosages of 10, 25, 50, and 100 mg?kg -1 , respectively. Rats wer e killed at 4 h after enema. Colonic inflammation, the ratio of wet/dry weig ht and MPO, SOD, and MDA activity were detected. DNA-binding activity of NF-? B was assessed by EMSA. RESULTS: NF-?B activity in colon homog enate was increased markedly at acute colitis in rats. PDTC attenuates the devel opment of rat colonic inflammation but not by reducing the NF-?B activity. CONCLUSION: NF-?B is activated in rats with acute colitis, which may be a mechanism of self-protection. PDTC can attenuate the development of in flammation.

The plastic splint PCL,which is introduced in this article,is a new type of medical exter- nal immobilization material.During the course of its development,the burden has been optimality seeked with regressive orthogonality after screening of the material.Its function has attained the international levels during the eighties.This splint may be used not only in the treatment of burns and various orthopedic conditions,but also in the immobilization of fracture and rehabilation treatment of orthopedic patients etc.

Aim The effect triptolide(Tri) on local stimulation was observed .Methods Tri solution in different concentrations was applied in rabbits, rats and mice and the respenses were observed .Results 1.11 ,2.22 and 4.44 mmol?L-1 of Tri induced obvious erythema and edema on both intact skin and injured skin of rabbits.The pathological histology revealed the evident inflammation in scarfskin and corium 2.22 mmol?L-1 and 4.44 mmol?L-1 of triptolide significantly induced swelling of auricle in mice.0.55 mmol?L-1 and 1.11 mmol?L-1 of Tri significantly induced swelling of planta in rats.The response of inflammation reached to peak at the third day after hypodermic injection and lasted a week.Tri also significantly induced pain reaction and enhanced the permeability of capillary after local injection in mice.Conclusion Tri has a local stimulation effect and induces inflammation which can not be antagonized by its anti-inflammation effect.

Objective To investigate the actual situation of implementation of the project to reduce water arsenic in endemic arsenic poisoning areas in Shanxi province,and to provide a scientific basis for prevention and control of the disease.Methods In June 2011,a questionnaire survey of 151 arsenic endemic villages was carried out in Shanxi province.The actual situation of implementation of the project to reduce water arsenic was investigated.Water samples were collected and arsenic level was determined by atomic fluorescence spectrometry.Results In the 151 arsenic poisoning villages 126 villages had changed the water,and the rate was 83.44％.In these villages,22 villages did not use the water improvement utilities properly.Of the 33 water improvement projects to reduce arsenic,23 operated normally.The projects covered 110 villages,beneficiary population of 97 920 people,accounting for 46.9％(97 920/208 736) of the total population.Water arsenic exceeded the national standards(≤0.05 mg/L) in 10 of the water improvement projects which covered 31 villages,including 15 nonendemic villages and 16 diseased villages.There were a population of 24 764 people in the diseased villages.Conclusions In Shanxi endemic arsenic poisoning areas,water improvement efforts need to be strengthened; the quality of water improvement project needs to be improved,and the project's later management and maintenance also need to be further strengthened.

The identiifcation of body lfuid and their tissue resource is an important part of forensic medicine research. Conventional methods have imperfections like high false positive rate and may destroy biomaterial, which should be replaced by a new conifrmatory test. Highly-differentiated cells express speciifc mRNA molecules that can be used for body lfuid identiifcation. These mRNA markers can identify body lfuids like peripheral blood, menstrual blood, semen, saliva, vaginal secretion, skin-contact stains. This method have favorable sensitivity, speciifcity and can be detected after years, made it a ideal way to identify current body lfuids in the future. This review focus on the application of mRNA in body lfuid identiifcation and tissue resource.

To introduce the writing techniques for structured Abstract of literature review papers based on the knowledge of corpus linguistics,so as to summarize the stylistic,structural,syntactic and lexical characteristics,objectively and systematically.This research will also faci-litate the authors and translators,who have difficulties in writing structured English Abstract,to publish their articles via mastering its stylistic characteristics,writing format and language.

A simple and selective ultra performance liquid chromatography-electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (UPLC-ESI-MS/MS) assay was developed for the determination of the human plasma protein binding of four bioactive flavonoids (such as orientin and vitexin) in Polygonum orientale. Protein precipitation was used for sample preparation. Equilibrium dialysis technique was applied to determine the plasma protein binding under physiological conditions. The separation was achieved through a Waters C18 column with a mobile phase composed of 0.1%formic acid in acetonitrile and 0.1%aqueous formic acid using step gradient elution at a flow rate of 0.35 mL/min. A Waters ACQUITY?TQD system was operated under the multiple reaction monitoring (MRM) mode of positive electrospray ionization. All of the recovery, precision, accuracy and stability of the method met the requirements. Good correlations (r40.99) of the four compounds were found, which suggested that these compounds can be simultaneously determined with acceptable accuracy. Results showed that the plasma protein bindings of the four bioactive flavonoids were in the range of 74-89% over the six concentrations studied. The binding parameters containing protein binding affinity, protein binding dissociation constant, and protein binding site were studied. The maximum ability to bind with protein was also determined in the assay in order to understand the drug-protein binding of each compound better.

Objective To study the relationship between peripheral blood hemoglobin (HB) and blood pres- sure.Methods We performed a cross-sectional analysis in 1153 subjects aged 29-83 years.Waist circumfer- ence,HB,blood pressure,high-density lipoprotein cholesterol(HDL-C),low-density lipoprotein cholesterol(LDL- C),triglycerides (TG),total cholesterol (TC) were determined.Results ①With the increasing of blood pres- sure,HB had a clearly increasing trend (HB,normotensive:137.5?14.7 vs prehypertension:143.4?14.4 vs hy- pertension:144.3?13.8 g/L,P
