Objective To investigate the self‐management and cognitive situation of the patients with gestational diabetes melli‐tus (GDM) dietary and to discuss the influence of individualized diet intervention on patients .Methods Forty‐one pregnant women diagnosed with GDM were selected as the research objects .logistic regression analysis was used as well as questionnaire to evaluate the influence factors of comprehensive evaluation of the follow diet control ,detecting the 2 h plasma glucose(2 h PG) ,hemoglobin (HbAlc) ,total cholesterol (TC) ,three acyl glycerin (TG) change in value after individualized nutritional intervention ,which were compared with pre‐intervention index .Results (1)90 .2% of diet cognitive received diet educators ,26 .8% of the patients thought only diet and exercise therapy could effectively control blood sugar .Patients got 2 .4% correct overall about questions about food and 85 .4% patients followed diet .(2)Logistic regression analysis showed that the influencing factors of GDM patients following di‐et were age ,BMI ,cultural degree ,receiving diet education ,self monitoring of blood sugar ,regular review to the hospital regularly . (3) After the intervention(41 cases) ,the level of 2 h PG ,HbAlc ,TC ,TG of 38 cases were significantly lower than before ,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .01) .Conclusion Individualized diet intervention treatment in GDM patients shows obvious effect .

Objective To evaluate the value of IL-17 and IL-23 expression in response prediction of infliximab treatment in Crohn's disease (CD).Methods A total of 23 CD patients were enrolled in this study including 19 males and 4 females.Another 17 patients with colonic polyps were recruited as control group.The tissue expression of IL-17 and IL-23 in intestinal mucosa was measured by immunohistochemistry (IHC).In each specimen, IL-17 or IL-23 positive cells were counted and recorded in 10 random high power fields (HPFs).Results Infliximab was effective in sixteen patients (69.6%), while 7 patients (30.4%) did not response.The numbers of IL-17 or IL-23 positive cells were much more in responders than those in nonresponders.The median numbers of IL-17 positive cells were 26.7 (18.0, 38.6)/HPF in responders, 11.8 (7.0, 14.0)/HPF in nonresponders, 3.0 (2.0,4.0)/HPF in controls (P =0.004).The median numbers of IL-23 positive cells were 74.5(44.8, 128.6)/HPF in responders, 22.4(19.0, 38.8)/HPF in nonresponders, 3.0(2.0, 4.0)/HPF in controls (P =0.018).IL-17 or IL-23 positive mucosal cells were significantly decreased after infliximab treatment.Conclusion High expression of IL-17 and IL-23 in mucosa may predict the response to infliximab in CD patients.

Objective To evaluate the preclinical safety of 2-methoxyestradiol nanosuspension. Methods The safety of 2-methoxyestradiol nanosuspension for injection was observed through vascular stimulation test of the ear vein on rabbits, hemolytic test using rabbit erythrocytes, active systemic anaphylaxis (ASA) test on guinea pigs and acute toxicity test on mice. Results 2-Methoxyestradiol nanosuspension injection had no irritating effects on vessels, and no haemocytolysis, agglutination and ASA occurred.ASA test showed no allergy symptoms such as piloerection, nose rubbing and dyspnea in guinea pigs 30 min after sensitization.Acute toxicity test revealed that no pathological changes, including black spots and hyperaemia, were visually observed on the heart, liver and lungs after 14 days of intravenous administration. Conclusion 2-Methoxyestradiol nanosuspension injection is relatively safe, with low toxicity, and no hemolytic, anaphylactic and irritating effects. It may be clinically used for injection.

In the cultural construction of independent institute,there exist the contradiction between tradition and innovation,cultural conflicts between private enterprises and the university.Therefore,adhering to the people-centered concept,coordinating tradition and innovation,merging the advantages of university culture and private enterprises culture into a whole,cultivating the unique spiritual culture,harmonious system culture and unified material culture of independent institute,forming the distinctive “Institute Culture” with its own cultural tradition will provide reference for the theory and practice to enrich and improve the connotative development of independent institute.

AIM: To explore the effects of processing on components group of Semen Raphani. METHODS: By comparing HPLC maps of Semen Raphani samples prepared with different methods and computing similarity,(analysis) the change law of the components group. RESULTS: The mechanism of inhibiting the enzyme by processing Semen Raphani was found and C3 was able to produce new compounds A209,B221. CONCLUSION: Processing Semen Raphani can change the components group through influencing the decoction process,eventually produce different clinical effects.

BACKGROUND: Root canal files fracture is a kind of common oral clinical complications. Therefore, it is of clinical importance to study the cyclic fatigue of different types of stainless steel root canal files.OBJECTIVE: To explore the effect of the bending angle and cross-sectional area of root canal instruments on cyclic fatigue of stainless steel files.METHODS: Thirty 25# stainless steel K files (25 mm in length) were selected, the same to 30# and 35#. And these three kinds of files were respectively randomized into three groups (n=10 per subgroup). In the nine subgroups, the files were placed into self-made root canals at the bending angle of 45°, 60°, 90°, and driven by a 16:1 reducer (350 r/min).Fracture time in each subgroup was recorded and converted into the number of rotations. The microstructure of the fracture end of the files was observed under scanning electron microscope. Fractured files were collected and the crack tip length was measured by an electronic caliper.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At the same bending angle, the number of rotations resulting in file fracture was significantly reduced with the increasing of the cross-sectional area of the files (P < 0.05). When the type and cross-sectional area were same, the number of rotations resulting in file fracture was significantly reduced with the increasing of the bending angle of the root canals (P < 0.05), indicating a reduction in the cyclic fatigue performance of the files. Toughness fracture occurred in all the files, and circular or oval roughness nests with different sizes and microcavities formed on the fracture surface. In addition, brittle surfaces could be detective between the roughness nests. The diameter of roughness nests was gradually increased with the increasing of the bending angle of the root canals. For 30# and 35# files, the number of brittle surfaces was gradually increased with the increasing of the bending angle of the root canals. For 25# files, the crack tip length was gradually decreased with the increasing of the bending angle of the root canals, but there was no significant difference (P > 0.05). For 30# and 35# files, the crack tip length was significantly shortened with the increasing of the bending angle of the root canals (P < 0.05). But there were no significant changes in the 35#-60° and 35#-90° groups (P=0.095). At the same bending angle, there were no regular changes in the crack tip length in the different types of files. In conclusion, with the increasing of the cross-sectional area, the cyclic fatigue performance of the files with the same length and taper is reduced and the files become easy to be fractured; with the increasing of the bending angle of the root canals, the files with the same types are apt to be fractured near the root tip, indicating the shorter length of the crack tip indicates the more difficulty in the removal of the broken files.
