To analyze the change of physiological indices in male and female pilot students during lower body negative pressure (LBNP) exposure, one female group and one male group participated in the experiment. They were subjected to LBNP up to 50 mmHg for 8 min. Electrocardiogram (ECG), heart rate (HR), blood pressure (BP), cerebral blood flow (CBF) and time of exposure were monitored during LBNP. The results showed that during LBNP, heart rate (HR) increased while systolic blood pressure (SBP) and cerebral blood flow (CBF) decreased with the prolongation of exposure. It is concluded that LBNP exposure could produce similar physiological changes in both male and femal pilot students.

AlM: To explore the clinical significances and changes of related parameters of corneal endothelial cell in keratouveitis patients before and after treatment.
METHODS:Fifty-two keratouveitis patients ( 52 eyes ) diagnosed and treated in our hospital from October 2012 to December 2013 were collected. Before and after treatment, the related parameters of corneal endothelial cell in all patients were measured with non - contact corneal specular microscope and these parameters were statistically analyzed.
RESULTS: Compared with the normal group, obvious endothelial cell edema and great variation was observed in diseased group. The shorter duration of treatment, the better the recovery of endothelial cells and the fewer cells lose. Conversely, the longer the healing of normal hexagonal cell ratio was smaller, the larger the coefficient of variation. Before and after treatment, the differences of each parameter were statistical significance (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSlON: The functional recovery of corneal endothelial cell has directly relation with disease times.

Objective: To explore the impact of using sports activity tracking APP data recording and social fitness activities on physical and mental health of college students, and to provide theoretical support for using APP to participate in fitness. Methods: A total of 96 students from Xi an International Studies University and Northwest University were recruited and divided into the control group(35 students), the recording group (29 students)and the interactive group(32 students) by using random number table. The recording group and the interactive group used APP for 12 weeks of exercise intervention, while the control group receive no intervention. For any intervention, participants received physical fitness tests before and after the intervention. Results: After the intervention, sit and reach [(19.36±4.55)cm], lung vital capacity [(2 929.93±422.52)mL], sit ups for 1 minute(39.71±8.32) times, standing long jump [(165.14±14.73)cm] in girls of the recording group significantly increased compared with pre intervention [(16.39±6.15)cm, (2 690.93±380.45)mL, (36.14±9.53) times, (157.64±14.93)cm]( t =-3.34,-2.82,-3.52,-4.55, P < 0.05 ), and the BMI of boys[(22.79±2.18)(22.19±2.22)km/m 2] significantly decreased, and pull up of boys[3.50(2.00,4.75), 4.50 (3.25,9.25)times] significantly increased( t=3.90,Z=-2.04,P <0.05). After the intervention, sit and reach and pull up of boys in the interacticve group [(13.08±2.23)cm,6.00(0.00,12.00)times], and sit and reach [(21.43±5.14)cm], lung vital capacity [(3 259.33±562.70)mL], standing long jump [(171.83±19.17)cm] among girls in the interactive group was significantly higher than that before the intervention [(9.78±3.96)cm, 1.00(0.00,7.50)tims, (18.86±6.26)cm, (2 870.94±429.62)mL, ( 162.78 ±17.20)cm] ( t/Z =-4.22,-2.02,-3.43,-2.68,-3.84, P <0.05). After the intervention, compared with the control group, lung vital capacity and standing long jump scores of boys in the recording group were significantly improved, while the scores of sit ups for 1 minute in girls were significantly improved; sit and reach and standing long jump performance of boys in the interactive group were significantly improved; sit and reach and lung vital capacity among girls in the interactive group were significantly improved( P <0.05). Boys in the interactive group showed a significant improvement in sit and reach compared to the recording group ( P <0.05). Conclusion Using sports activity tracking APP can effectively improve students physical fitness, can promote student participation and persistence in physical activity.

Objective To analyze the genetic characteristics of breakthrough varicella-zoster virus infection during the varicella outbreaks in Minhang District of Shanghai in 2013-2014. Methods Samples of the varicella-zoster liquid were collected from patients with chickenpox in Minhang District in 2013-2014 and used for the extraction of genomic DNA. The open reading frame ( ORF) of 22 and 62 regions were se-quenced and further analyzed by using bioinformatics methods. Results A total of 24 samples were success-fully collected and sequenced, and all of them were wild strains. Among the 24 varicella-zoster virus strains, 23 strains were highly homologous to the parental strain ( P-Oka) and the vaccine strain ( V-Oka) , indica-ting that they belonged to J genotype. Only one strain, whose genotype was between M and E, was highly ho-mologous to the mosaic( M) CA123 strain ( M1 genotype) , indicating that it might belong to M1 genotype. Conclusion The epidemic strains of varicella-zoster virus in Minhang District were mainly J genotype. Lo-cal epidemic of M and other genotypes of varicella-zoster virus also existed. There were some gene variations in different strains of J genotype. These varicella-zoster virus strains of non-vaccine genotypes might be one of the reasons causing the breakthrough cases of chicken pox.

Objective To evaluate the epidemiological efficacy of 23-valent pneumococcal poly-saccharide vaccine on the clinical symptoms and the incidence of respiratory tract infections in the elderly over 60 years old in Minhang District, Shanghai. Methods A prospective cohort study was conduct, in which the sample size was 1 200 for both inoculated and uninoculated groups. This study followed the two groups of subjects every quarter for a year. Clinical symptoms and the incidence of respiratory tract infectious diseases as well as the acute onset of chronic respiratory diseases were compared between the subjects of the two groups. Results Compared with the uninoculated group, less people in the inoculated group developed the clinical symptoms of respiratory tract infection (RR=0. 894, 95% CI: 0. 804-0. 994). Immunization with the 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine protected 57. 7% of the senior citizens (≥75 years old) from respiratory tract infections(95% CI:0. 207-0. 775). Conclusion The 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine can effectively reduce the incidence of respiratory tract infections in the elderly aged 60 years old and over and protects the elderly aged 75 years old and over from respiratory tract infections. Further studies on the immunological efficacy of 23-valent pneumococcal polysaccharide vaccine should be carried out by measuring the antibody titers before and after vaccination.

Objective To assess the diagnostic accuracy of solitary pulmonary nodules while selecting different backgrounds in 99 Tcm‐MIBI SPECT/CT examination .Methods Totally 38 suspected solitary pulmonary nodules (SPN) were analyzed retrospectively .The lesions were divided into malignant group and benign group according to the pathological findings . We selected two different backgrounds , contralateral lung field ( DL ) and the contralateral soft tissue (NST) .The maximum counts and the mean counts of lesion to non‐lesion ratio (L/N) were calculated to evaluate diagnostic efficacy using ROC curve . The relationship between lesion size , pathological grading and L/N ratio was analyzed by Spearman correlation analysis . Results With DL and NST as the backgrounds ,the maximum counts and the mean counts of L/N between benign and malignant groups both differed significantly (all P<0 .05) .ROC curve analysis showed as follows :With DL and NST as the backgrounds ,the area under the curve (AUC) of L/DL‐MAX ,L/DL‐MEAN ,L/NST‐MAX ,and L/NST‐MEAN was 0 .73 ,0 .78 ,0 .80 and 0 .86 ,respectively .By pairwise comparison ,there was no significant difference (all P>0 .05) .The size and pathological grading of SPN did not affect 99 Tcm‐MIBI accumulation in the SPN (all P>0 .05) .Conclusion DL and NST both can be used as the background in diagnosis of pulmonary nodules on 99 Tcm‐MIBI SPECT/CT examination .The mean counts of the contralateral tissue used as the background can provide a stable result and a high diagnostic accuracy to assess the SPN .

Objective To investigate the effect of Ser473-Akt phosphorylation in the protection of atorvastatin to cerebral ischemia-re-perfusion (I/R) injury in rats. Methods Forty male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into normal group (n=10), sham group (n=10), I/R group (n=10) and intervention group (n=10). A model of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion in rats was establishied, with ischemia for 2 hours and reperfusion for 72 hours. The normal group and the sham group received no injury. I/R group was administered with normal saline only, and the intervention group received atorvastatin 10 mg/kg prepared with normal saline at palinesthesia, 24 and 48 hours after reperfu-sion. All rats were sacrificed 72 hours after reperfusion. HE staining and TUNEL staining were performed in the brain specimens. The ex-pression of Akt and Ser473-Akt in the prefrontal cortex of the brain were detected with Western blotting. Results Compared with I/R group, 72 hours after reperfusion, the damage of nerve cells significantly lessened in the intervention group;the apoptosis positive cells significant-ly reduced in the intervention group (t=-6.014, P<0.001). The expression of Ser473-Akt in prefrontal cortex was higher in I/R group than in the normal group and the sham group (t>20.327, P<0.001), and was higher in the intervention group than in I/R group (t=3.649, P=0.007). Conclusion The Ser473-Akt phosphorylation plays an important role in the protection of atorvastatin in nerve cell through anti-apoptosis of nerve cells, and reducing cerebral I/R injury.

OBJECTIVE: To discuss whether a reduced dose of CsA was allowed yet without increase risk of rejection, and whether the incidence of CsA-related side effects be reduced while the curative effects be enhanced by combined use of Cyclosporine (CsA), prednisone and Mycophenolate Mofetil (MMF) in patients after renal transplantation. METHODS: In this comparative study, 213 renal allograft recipients receiving routine dose of CsA were compared with 176 cases receiving low dose CsA. RESULTS: The two groups showed no significant differences in renal function, incidence of rejection and human/kidney survival rate. However, the low dose CsA group showed a better total curative efficacy and significantly fewer incidences of ADRs. CONCLUSION: CsA, MMF and Pred used concomitantly in patients after renal transplantation allows for a reduced dose of CsA yet without increase the risk of acute rejection if with enough dose of MMF.

Objective:To explore the feasibility and clinical efficacy of stratified suture of lateral pharyngeal wall(SSLPW) combined with soft palate radiofrequency coblation in the treatment of the patients with severe obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS).Methods:The clinical data of 21 severe OSAHS patients underwent lateral pharyngoplasty(LP) combined with soft palate radiofrequency coblation (LP group) and 39 severe OSAHS patients underwent SSLPW combined with soft palate radiofrequency coblation (SSLPW group) were selected.The apnea hypopnea index(AHI),lowest SaO2(LSaO2),Epworth sleepiness scale(ESS) scores,and related postoperative complications of the patients in two groups were analyzed before and after operation.The successful rates of operation of the patients in two were compared.Results:In LP group,1 patient was cured (5%),19 patients were improved markedly (90%),1 patient was effective (5%),and no patient was invalid;the successful rate was 95.2%(20/21).In SSLPW group,2 patients were cured (5.1%),33 patients were improved markedly (84.6%),4 patients were effective (10.3%),and no patients was invalid;the successful rate was 89.7%(35/39);there was no statistical difference in the successful rate of operation of the patients between two groups (P>0.05).There was statistically significant improvement of the subjective symptoms.All the patients returned to normal subjective swallowing functions without nasal pharyngeal reflux and dysphagia in one month follow-up after operation.Compared with before operation,the AHI and ESS scores of the patients in two groups after operation were decreased(P<0.05);the LSaO2 scores were increased(P<0.05).Conclusion:The AHI,LSaO2 and ESS scores are significantly improved in the OSAHS patients after treated with SSLPW combined with soft palate radiofrequency coblation.The method is a valid option for the severe OSAHS patients.

Objective To establish a method of measuring adipose content and fat distribution of the thigh in normal glucose tolerance (NGT) subjects,and to investigate its relation to insulin resistance.Methods Insulin sensitivity was evaluated by hyperinsulinemic and euglycemic clamp technique,and femoral adipose content and fat distribution were determined by MRI in 30 individuals with NGT including 15 with normal weight and 15 overweighted or obese subjects.Results Compared to normal weight group,the subscutaneous adipose tissue of thigh (SCAT) [(176.7?21.6) cm~2 vs (115.0?12.8 ) cm~2,P＜0.05],adipose tissue of thigh beneath the fascia (SFAT) [(75.4?4.4 ) cm~2 vs (57.5?4.7 ) cm~2,P＜0.01] and intermuscular adipose tissue (IMAT) [(28.3?3.2) cm~2 vs (14.5?1.1 ) cm~2,P＜0.01] were greater in overweight/obesity group.Overweight/ obesity group had lower insulin sensitivity( glucose disposal rate under steady state of hyperinsulinemic euglycemic clamp:4.54?0.43 vs 7.88?0.75,P＜0.01).SFAT and IMAT were significantly correlated with insulin sensitivity.SFAT showed the most marked correlation with insulin sensitivity.Multiple stepwise regression analysis showed that the increased SFAT played a pivotal role in insulin resistance.Conclusion The adipose content and fat distribution are highly correlated with insulin sensitivity and the adipose tissue of thigh beneath fascia may play the most significant role in insulin sensitivity.
