Objective:To investigate the effect of Na + , K + -ATPase on the increase of cytosolic Ca 2+ level induced by hypoxia in rat cortical neurons. Methods: Using confocal laser scanning microscope and video based motion edge detection system, we measured the intracellular Ca 2+ concentration (\ i ) and Na + concentration (\ i ) in cortical neurons exposed to hypoxia for different time periods and at presence of different concentrations of dihydroouabain (DHO, an inhibitor of Na + , K + -ATPase). We also observed the effect of Na + , K + -ATPase on the increase of cytosolic Ca 2+ level induced by hypoxia in rat cortical neurons. Results: DHO (10 -9 -10 -3 mol/L) dose-dependently and hypoxia(4-20 min) time-dependently increased the levels of \ i and \ i in cultured cortical neurons. \ i and \ i increased significantly 4 min after cortical neurons were exposed to hypoxia, and addition of DHO (10 -3 mol/L) further increased their concentrations. While 15 min after hypoxia exposure, different concentrations of DHO did not further increase \ i and \ i. We also found that hypoxia exposure did not enhance DHO pretreatment-induced \ i increase. Conclusion: Inhibition of Na + , K + -ATPase activity is one of the mechanisms responsible for hypoxia-induced elevation of \ i in cortical neurons.

OBJECTIVE:To understand the proportion of university faculty suffering from hypertension,and the regularity,ratio-nality and affordability of antihypertensive drugs under closed medical environment. METHODS:Empirical research and research methods were adopted to collect indicators during 2011-2014,such as average daily wage in Wuhan,the total number of staff in Wuhan University,the number of staff with hypertension,antihypertensive drugs amount/DDDs ranking ratio,affordability ratio,relative av-erage affordability, etc. The rationality and affordability of antihypertensive drug prices were evaluated. RESULTS:During 2011-2014,the prevalence rate of hypertension in the staff were about 23%,and the proportion increased year by year;the annual in-crease of antihypertensive drug amount was larger than that of the number of patients;the type of antihypertensive drugs with affordabil-ity ratio>1 in 4 years was ARB varieties,and affordability ratio of other drugs was less than 1. CONCLUSIONS:More than half of drugs is high in price,that result in heavy burden of patients receiving ARB;on the whole,antihypertensive drugs are affordable of the teaching staff of Wuhan University.

Objective To find out the associated effect of intrauterine infection and interuterine asphyxia to fetal rat′s brain damage,cell apoptosis,and expression of glial fibrillary acidic protein(GFAP).Methods Pregnant rats of gestation 18 days were randomly divided into four groups:1.NS plus sham operation,2.intrauterine infection,3.intrauterine asphyxia,4.intrauterine infection plus intrauterine asphyxia.The fetal rats′ brains were taken out 72 h after different disposal and given HE coloration,immunohistochemistry of TUNEL and GFAP,respectively.Results The level of brain cell edema and tissue disorganization of group intrauterine infection plus intrauterine asphyxia were more serious than those of group intrauterine infection or group intrauterine asphyxia.TUNEL and GFAP had the same results:The number of positive cells in group intrauterine infection plus intrauterine asphyxia more than that in group intrauterine infection,and which in group intrauterine asphyxia more than that in group NS plus sham operation.There was significant difference between the first three groups and the group NS plus sham operation(P=0).There was also significant difference between group intrauterine infection plus intrauterine asphyxia and group intrauterine infection or group intrauterine asphyxia(P=0).Conclusions Both intrauterine infection and intrauterine asphyxia may induce premature rat brain damage,the association of intrauterine infection and intrauterine asphyxia may aggravate the degree of fetal rat brain damage,also increase the number of apoptosis cell and the expression of GFAP.

Objective To assess the effect and influencing factors on 131I treatment for cervical lymph node metastasis (LNM) after operation in patients with PTC.Methods PTC patients (n =117;45 males,72 females;average age (45.17± 15.50) years) with postoperative cervical LNM from January 2010 to December 2014 were analyzed retrospectively.LNM was diagnosed by surgical pathology,imaging results and clinical follow-up.Single factor analysis was performed in age,gender,operation mode,TNM stage,131I treatment time and other factors.The results for 131I treatment effect included CR,PR,NC.Two-sample t test and x2 test were used.Results Among the 117 PTC patients with postoperative LNM,53 (45.3％) cases had non-131 I-avid metastasis.Fifty of the 64 (54.7％) patients with 131I-avid metastasis were treated with 131I.Nineteen patients (38.0％) achieved CR,22 (44.0％) achieved PR,and 9 (18.0％) showed invalid results.Fourteen of the 64 patients underwent another cervical lymph node dissection.Nine patients achieved CR,5 patients achieved PR,and 4 PR patients were then treated with 131I and finally achieved CR.Single factor analysis showed that the influencing factors of non-131I-avid lymph node included patients' age (t =3.459),serum Tg level (x2 =6.698) and metastasis with 1s F-FDG uptake (x2 =26.928;all P＜0.05).The influencing factors of 131I treatment effect included lymph node dissection procedure (x2 =6.487),unilateral or bilateral lesion (x2=5.187) and LNM size (x2=8.099;all P＜0.05).Conclusions 131I treatment is ineffective for nearly 50％ of patients with non-131I-avid LNM.The influencing factors of 131I treatment effect include the lymph node dissection procedure,unilateral or bilateral lesions and LNM size.
