Objective To investigate the mechanism of an antifibrotic drug, pirfenidone, in preventing radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis. Methods Male BALB/C mice were randomized into 4 groups:control group (C), radiation alone group (R), pirfenidone alone group (P), and pirfenidone plus radiation group (P + R). Irradiation was administrated to the whole pulmonary with a single fraction of 12 Gy. The pirfenidone was given 0. 3 ml/kg/d from 3 days prior to irradiation to 12 weeks after.Bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) from right lung was collected for macrophages counting every monthmonthly until 6 months after irradiation, and left lungs were collected and fixed for. The pulmonary fibrosis was assessed by Masson trichrome staining. The plasma transforming growth factor β(TGF-β) was measured by ELISA. The lung hydroxyproline was evaluated by alkaline solution. Results Compared to group R, the counts of macrophages in BALF in group P + R were reduced by 76% and 62%, and hydroxyproline levels were reduced by 21% and 24% at the 4th and 5th months, respectively. The plasma TGF-β decreased from the 3rd month to 5th month. Pirfenidone markedly ameliorated the severity of lung fibrosis at the 4 - 6th month after radiation. Conclusions Pirfenidone can prevent radiation-induced pulmonary fibrosis, the mechanism of which may be the reduced of inflammation and collagen deposition by decreasing macrophages and hydroxyproline.

Objective To study the relationship between insulin induced gene 2 (INSIG2) variant and obesity or lipid metabolism in Chinese children and adolescents. Methods A total number of 2030 school students at the age from 7 to 18 years were selected in Beijing. Physical indicators, serum lipids and the rs13428113 polymorphism in INSIG2 gene were examined for all the subjects. Results The overall mutation rate of the rs13428113 polymorphism (T>C) was 49.3%.The differences of genotype and allele frequencies were not statistically significant among normal-weight, overweight and obesity groups (P>0.05). Among the overweight students, those with CC genotype had higher body mass index, waist-hip ratio, bronchial triceps skin-fold, and anterior superior lilac spine skin-fold than TT/TC carriers. Among the obese group, those with CC genotype had higher total cholesterol level than TT/TC careers (P<0.05). Conclusion The rs13428113 polymorphism in INSIG2 gene was associated with abnormal lipid metabolism in overweight and obese children, which increasing the degree of obesity and abnormal serum lipids.

ObjectiveTo evaluate whether oral administration of Chinese tradiational medicine,Qing-Xue granula,can prevent mouse lung injury caused by thoracic radiation.Methods128 BalB/C mice were divided into 4 groups:control (C) group; radiation (R) group; radiation plus high dose Qing-Xue granula (H) group and radiation plus median dose Qing-Xue granula ( M ) group.The H and M groups were fed 0.64 g and 0.32 g of Qing-Xue granula dissolved in 0.5 nl anline once daily for two months,which were 4 and 2 times of human dosage,respectively.Whole thorax radiation of 12 Gy was delivered with a single ventral-dorsal field with 6 MV X-ray.Group C and group R received 21 days of 0.5 ml saline feeding.Mice were sacrificed at 1,2,4 or 6 months after radiation. Macrophage cell count of lung lavage fluid and hydroxyproline content of left lung were assayed,and the lung fibrosis was scorred according to the Ashcroft's criteria.The plasma interleukin-6 (IL-6) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) concentration were assayed with ELISA method.The One-way ANOVA was used to test the significance of any differences between groups at each time point. Results The macrophage cell number of lung lavage fluid was significantly lower in the 1st month in group M than in group R (2∶4,q =3.92,P ＜ 0.05 ),but had no significant difference between group M and C ( 1 ∶ 4,q =2.13,P＞0.05 ).The hydroxyproline content of group H was significantly lower than group R in the 1st and 6th months (q =3.62,3.54,all P ＜ 0.05 ),but still higher than group C ( q =4.09,3.72,all P ＜ 0.05 ).The fibrosis score of group H was significantly lower than group R in the 2nd,4th and 6th months (q=3.38 -4.16,all P＜0.05).The IL-6 concentration of group H was significantly lower than group R in the 1st month ( q=3.53,P＜0.05 ),but not significantly higher than group C (q =1.41,P＞0.05).The VEGF concentration was significantly higher in group R than group C since the 2nd month ( q =3.12 - 3.78,P ＜ 0.05 ).The VEGF concentration was significantly higher in group H and M than group R in the 2nd and 6th months ( q =3.08 - 3.92,all P ＜ 0.0 5 ).Conclusions Oral Chinese traditional medicine,Qing-Xue granula,could prevent radiation induced lung fibrosis in mice,especially at high dosage.The degree of elevation of VEGF in plasma was not parallel with that of lung fibrosis.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effect on lung injury of gefitinib or/and radiation.Methods Totally 160 mice were divided into five groups:control (C) ;gefitinib (G) ;radiation (R) ;gefitinib followed by irradiation ( G + R) ;and R + G.12 Gy irradiation was delivered.Geiitinib fed by 200 mg/kg once daily for 3 weeks.Mice were sacrificed on 1,2,4 or 6 months after radiation.Macrophage count of lung lavage fluid and hydroxyproline assessed,lung fibrosis scored.and plasma TGF-β1 concentration assayed.One-way ANOVA was used to test the significance. Results The lung lavage macrophage cell number were significantly higher in group R,R + G and G + R than group C ( q =2.95 - 8.61,all P ＜ 0.05 ) on 4 and 6months,yet no significant difference between the three groups ( q =0.37 -3.49,all P ＜ 0.05 ) ; The macrophage was significantly lower in month 1,4 and 6 in group G than R,R + G and G + R ( q =3.37- 6.25,all P ＜ 0.05 ).The hydroxyproline content and the fibrosis score of G,R,R + G and G + R were significantly higher than C ( q =3.14 - 4.76,all P ＜ 0.05 ),but no significant difference between the four groups ( q =0.70 - 4.19,all P ＞ 0.05 ).The TGF-β1 concentration of R,G + R,R + G at all time points and TGF-β1 concentration of G at 1 st and 2nd months were significantly higher than C ( q =3.76 -8.09,all P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsGefitinib could cause lung fibrosis in vivo in BalB/C mouse.The combination of gefitinib and radiation did not significantly exacerbate lung injury caused byeither alone.The mechanism of lung fibrosis caused by gefitinib might be different from that by radiation which needs further research.

Objective:To analyze the concerning guarantee mechanisms during the transformation of the com-munity health service mode. Method:Purposive sampling was adopted. Twelve community health service centers in Beijing, Shanghai, Zhengzhou, and Chengdu, where the transformation of the community health service mode was pi-loted earlier and representative, were selected as the field survey sites. The qualitative method was used to collect da-ta accompanied by the quantitative method. Results: The guarantee mechanisms related to the transformation of the community health service mode could be concluded into four main types:collaboration mechanism, health profession-al training mechanism, incentive mechanism, and policy guarantee mechanism. All of the four mechanisms contribu-ted to the improvement of general teamwork, dual referral systems, and the development of contract and appointment services. Conclusion:During the transformation of the community health service mode, priority strategies include top-down design, health professional training mechanisms, and performance-based incentive mechanism, all of which should be implemented in the future.

Objective To investigate the effects of Helicobacter priori (H.prlori) strains from the patient with gastric cancer on the expression of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) genes in AGS cells in vitro. Methods AGS cells were co-cultured with ten strains of H.prlori from five patients with gastric cancer and five patients with gastritis respectively.The expressions of DNA MMR genes (hMSH2 and hMLH1) in mRNA and protein levels were determined by RT-PCR and Western blot.The enteropathogenic E.coli served as a bacterial control.Results E.coli and H.priori strains from gastritis have no effects on the expression of hMSH2 and hMLH1 in both protein and mRNA levels on the whole,while all the H.prlori strains from gastric cancer reduced expression levels of hMSH2 and hMLH1.Conclusions There are different effects between H. prlori strains from gastric cancer and those from gastritis on DNA MMR in AGS cell line,indicating that infec- tion of some H.prlori strains might lead to the inhibition of DNA MMR,and that in turns increases the risk of gastric carcinogenesis during chronic H.prlori infection.

ObjectiveTo explore the risk factors related to senile dementia to develop intervention method.MethodsA combination of qualitative and quantitative methods was used to analyze the factors and their degree related to the incidence of dementia for the elderly.ResultsAgeing was the deterministic factor to senile dementia, and vascular factor was common risk for Alzheimer's disease (AD) and vascular dementia (VD).ConclusionActive intervention in early life, concern about women's groups especially in the mental health, and detemination of value range of the risk factors are needed.

Objective To observe the changes of learning and memory as well as neuronal nitric oxide synathase (nNOS) in cortex and hippocampus of rats after sleep deprivation (SD). Methods SD was induced in male Wistar rats by employing "flower pot" technique. The performance in Y maze and the number of nNOS positive neurons in cortex and hippocampus after different time of SD were measured. Results ( 1 ) The correct rates of Y maze test were 24.3%,17.6%, 41.9% less in 3 SD groups than CC group(P ＜0.01 ). (2) The number of nNOS positive neurons in cortex was 8.7% more in SD1d group than CC group(P ＜0.01 ); but 9.0% and 16.0% less in SD2d group and SD3d group than CC group(P ＜0.01). In hippocampal CA1 sector, nNOS positive neurons of the 3 SD groups were 9.4%, 16.0% and 22.0% less in number respectively than CC group. Conclusion SD induces the expression of changes nNOS protein in cortex and hippocampal CA1 and thereby impairs learning and memory in rats.

Objective To analyze the characteristic of endoscopic submucosal dissection (ESD) in elderly patients aged more than or equal to 80 years. Methods We retrospectively reviewed 41 patients aged more than or equal to 80 years with 47 lesions treated by ESD from September 2010 to January 2017. The diseased region, pathology and complications were evaluated. Results Of the 47 lesions, there have 3 esophageal lesions, 21 gastric lesions, 10 colonic lesions and 13 rectal lesions. For the pathology, there have 34 early cancer or precancerous lesion, 2 GIST, 1 neuroendocrine tumor and 10 other types of pathology. 1 cardia1 early cancer underwent additional laparoscopic lymphadenectomy. There have 7 complications, 4 post-ESD bleeding, 2 delirium and 1 pneumonia. Conclusion ESD for colorectal lesion is more frequently in elderly patients aged more than or equal to 80 years. Post-ESD bleeding is the main complication.

Objectives:To explore the relationship between cyber bullying incident and psychological status of college students,and the effects of online social support and psychological resilience.Methods:Totally 608 college students (aged 17-25 years) were selected.They were investigated with the Cyberbullying Inventory (CI,including cyber bullying and cyber bullied),Symptom Checklist 90 (SCL-90),College Students' Online Social Support Scale (CSOSSS) and Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RSIC).Results:Online social support partly mediated the relationship between cyber bullying dimension or cyber bullied dimension and psychological status,and the ratios of the mediating effects to total effects were 24.1％ and 22.0％ separately.Psychological resilience didn't moderate the relationship between cyber bullying dimension and psychological status (β =0.01,P ＞ 0.05),but moderated the relationship between cyber bullied and psychological status (β =-0.08,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:The cyber bullying and cyber bullied may be not only related to psychological status directly,but also related to social support indirectly through online.Psychological resilience could buffer the effect of cyber bullied on psychological status.
