Objective To study whether the human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells (HBMSCs) can repair damaged neural cells induced by okadaic acid (OA).Methods Neuroblastoma cell line SH-SY5Y cells were used to incubate with 20nmol/L okadaic acid for 24h,establishing Alzheimer's Disease cell model;Three groups were set up:normal group,okadaic acid-damaged (OA-damaged) group,hBMSCs-treatment group.The cells were injured for 24h with 20nmol/L OA in OA-damaged group,and treated with conditioned medium obtaining hBMSCs for 24h after 24h OA injury in the treatment group.Then CCK-8 was used for detecting cell vitality,immune fluorescence dyed microtubules and micro filaments for determining the dendritic cell length and fluorescence intensity,in addition,Western blotting for analyzing the protein level of phosphorylated tau and total tau proteins.Results Okadaic acid damaged SH-SY5Y cells,contributed to shrinkage,collapse,cavitation of the SH-SY5Y cell body,dendritic shortening and fracture,and irregular arrangement of microtubule microfilaments;while BMSCs conditioned medium made SHSYSY cell body become round and longer,dendrites restored,and microtubules and microfilaments arranged regularly,fluorescence intensity enhanced.Meanwhile,it also down-regulated the level of OA-induced tau phosphorylation.Conclusion hBMSCs have repair effects on the neural cell damage induced by okadaic acid.

Objective To study on whitening and anti -aging effect of ginseng saponin and its safety.Methods Whitening effect:using vitamin C as the control drug, the inhibition rate of tyrosinase was determined.Anti senescence effect: the aging model of D-was established, and the DPPH was applied to the skin of the rat's neck, and the drug was prepared by 2 times a day.Skin safety evaluation: the skin changes of the skin of the ginseng saponins were observed after the skin was given ginseng saponin and control drugs.Results When the concentration of ginsenoside was 7 mg/mL, the inhibition rate order was, the water solution of vitamin C >ginsenoside nano >ginsenoside aqueous solution ; In the aging model, the surface of the elastic fibers and the skin surface was parallel to the skin, but the elastic fibers were arranged in a more tortuous and non parallel to the skin;DPPH free radical scavenging effect order was, Vitamin C aqueous solution>ginsenoside nano>ginsenoside aqueous solution, and with the dosage of ginsenoside increasing, the efficiency of ginsenoside DPPH scavenging free radical increased significantly;Skin safety evaluation results showed that ginseng saponin nanometer milk smeared skin, no redness, irritation and other phenomena occured.Conclusion Ginseng saponin nanometer milk has obvious whitening effect, and can not cause damage to the skin, is safe and reliable.

Objective To evaluate the safety and efficacy of percutaneous nephrolithotomy (PCNL) with B ultrasound-guided renal access in the lateral decubitus flank position for complex renal calculi. Methods From June 2004 to August 2009, 650 patients with renal stones≥20 mm underwent PCNL with B ultrasound-guided renal access in the lateral decubitus flank position. 512 men and 138 women,with a mean age of 38 years(range 11 - 78 years)and a mean stone size of 31 mm(range 20 - 58 mm). Results Successful access was achieved in 650 patients (100%). Minimally PCNL and PCNL were performed in 493 and 157 patients. Complete stone clearance rate was 86. 6% (563/ 650). The mean operative time was 72 min(range 35 - 145 min), and the mean hospital stay was 18d (range 9 - 32 d). There were no visceral injuries. Conclusions PCNL with B ultrasound-guided renal access in the lateral decubitus flank position is safe and convenient, and prevents harmful effects of radiation for the surgeon, the surgical team, and the patient.

Background::Psychological stress has been reported to be a potential risk factor for hypertension among females, but it remains unclear whether spousal chronic stress levels alter the risk of hypertension among women. We examined the associations between stress within the family and hypertension among married women.Methods::Reproductive-aged women who were planning for pregnancy and their husbands were recruited from the National Free Pre-pregnancy Checkup Projects (NFPCP) across 31 provinces in China in 2016 and 2017. Perceived stress of wives or husbands was measured with a 5-point Likert-type scale, and assessed from three domains: work/life-related stress, economic stress, and overall stress. Multivariable-adjusted logistic regression models were used to assess the associations between stress status and the prevalence of hypertension.Results::Of 10,027,644 couples, 261,098 (2.60%) women had hypertension. The results showed that higher stress levels among themselves or their husbands were associated with a higher prevalence of hypertension in women ( Pfor trend <0.001). Compared with non-stressed participants, female participants with the highest stress themselves were at a greater risk of hypertension, with adjusted odds ratio (OR) of 1.31 (95% confidence interval [CI]: 1.25-1.37); and compared with participants whose husbands had no stress, those whose husbands had the highest stress level were at a higher risk of hypertension with adjusted OR of 1.24 (95% CI: 1.20-1.29). Moreover, compared with non-stressed status for both couples, only-wife-stressed, only-husband-stressed, and both-stressed couples were found to be significantly associated with increased risks of wives’ hypertension, with adjusted ORs of 1.28 (95% CI: 1.25-1.31), 1.19 (95% CI: 1.17-1.21), and 1.28 (95% CI: 1.26-1.31), respectively. Conclusion::Moderate to severe stress in both spouses might be associated with female hypertension prevalence, which highlights the importance of paying attention to the psychological stresses of couples within the family.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of the compatibility of Schisandra chinensis on Psoralea corylifolia -induced oxidative damage and endoplasmic reticulum stress in L 02 hepatocytes,and to provide reference for clinical use of the compatibility attenuation of P. corylifolia -S. chinensis . METHODS L02 cells were divided into blank control group ,P. corylifolia model group (1 200 μg/mL P. corylifolia ,calculated by crude drug ),P. corylifolia -S. chinensis low-dose,medium-dose and high-dose groups (1 200 μg/mL P. corylifolia combined with 600,1 200,2 400 μg/mL S. chinensis ,respectively,calculated by crude drug ). After the cells in each group were cultured in culture medium or drug solution for 48 hours,the levels of aspartate aminotransferase(AST)and alanine aminotransferase (ALT)were detected ;the levels of glutathione (GSH),superoxide dismutase (SOD)and malondialdehyde (MDA)in cell culture medium were detected ;reactive oxygen species (ROS)level and mitochondrial membrane potential in cells were detected ;mRNA and protein expressions of glucose-regulated protein 78(GRP-78)and protein kinase R-like endoplasmic reticulum kinase (PERK)were detected. RESULTS Compared with blank control group ,the levels of AST,ALT,MDA and ROS ,mRNA and protein expressions of GRP- 78 and PERK were increased significantly in P. corylifolia model group (P<0.05 or P<0.01);while GSH and SOD levels ,mitochondrial membrane potential were decreased significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with P. corylifolia model group ,above indexes of P. corylifolia -S. chinensis low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups were all improved significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS The compatibility of P. corylifolia -S. chinensis can alleviate P. corylifolia -induced oxidative damage and endoplasmic reticulum stress of L 02 cells.
