CONCLUSIONS Anerdian disinfectant is suitable for blood donor predonation skin treatment.

objective To investigate the ability of insulin sensitivity index HOMA2-%S and secretion function index HOMA2-%B calculated by HOMA2,the new homeostasis model assessment,in clinical application. Methods Eighty female volunteers with polycystic ovary syndrome in Chongqing area [50 subjects with normal glucose tolerance(NGT group)and 30 subjects with impaired glucose regulation(IGR group)]were involved in this study.Thev underwent a 75 g oral glucose tolerance test(OGTF)and the Botnia clamp test. From the data of faming blood samples in OGTF,insulin sensitivity index HOMAI-ISI,secretion function index HOMAl-β and disposal index DI-HOMA1 were calculated by the old homeostasis model assessment(HOMA I),meanwhile insulin sensitivity index HOMA2-%S,secretion function index HOMA2-%B and disposal index(DI-HOMA2) were caleulated by the new homeostasis model assessment (HOMA2).Correlation coefficients between insulin sensitivity index and GIR (the glucose infusion rate at steady state of Botnia clamp test),and between insulin secretion function index and AIR(the acute insulin response in Botnia clamp test),were studied.Results The Pearson's linear correlation coefficient between HOMA2-%S and GIR(r=0.503),HOMA1-ISI and HOMA2-%S (r= 0.990).HOMA2-%B and AIR(r=0.382),HOMA1-B and HOMA2-%B(r=0.976) were all statistically significant(a11 P<0.01).The glucose disposal indexes calculated from the HOMA2 and HOMA1 of 1GR group were significantly lower than those from the NGT group(t=2.825,P<0.Ol;t=2.222,P<0.05). Conclusion The HOMA2 is a better model in evaluating the insulin sensitivity and secretion function and is recommended to be widely used in clinical evaluation.

Objective:To investigate the effect of NS-398,a selective cyclooxygenase-2(COX-2) inhibitor,on the proliferation and invasion of human colon carcinoma cells in vitro,so as to determine the possibility of COX-2 as a new target for treatment of colon carcinoma.Methods: The expression of COX-2 in colorectal cancer cells(CW-2,COLO-320) was detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting.COLO-320 cell proliferation was measured by MTT after treatment with NS-398.Cell invasion ability was measured using migration and invasion chamber systems.Western blotting assay was used to examine the influence of NS-398 on MMP-2 expression.Results: Our results showed that CW-2,COLO-320 cells expressed COX-2 mRNA and protein.NS-398 inhibited the proliferation of COLO-320 cells in a time-and concentration-dependent manner.Invasion test showed that NS-398 inhibited the migration and invasion of COLO-320 cells.Western blotting revealed that NS-398 inhibited the expression of MMP-2 in COLO-320 cells.Conclusion: The selective COX-2 inhibitor NS-398 can inhibit COLO-320 cell proliferation and invasion,indicating COX-2 may serve as a new target for colon carcinoma treatment.

Objective To investigate the anticancer effects and molecular mechanism of betulinic acid (BA)on Raji cells in vitro.Methods The effects of BA on the growth of Raji cells were studied by MTT assay.Apoptosis was assessed by Annexin-V/PI double-labeled cytometry.The influence on cell cycle was studied by flow cytometer.The cyclin D3 mRNA expression was checked by Western blotting and RT-PCR techniques.Results BA showed obvious inhibition on proliferation,as well as induction potency of apoptosis on Raji cells in vitro in a time-and dose-dependent manner by Annexin-V/PI double-labeled method.With the IC_(50)value for 24 h being(39.44?0.65)?g/mL,Raji cells treated with BA showed ac- cumulation in G_0/G_1 phase and reduction in the percentage of cells in S phase.The cyclin D3 mRNA ex- pression and protein were sharply decreased in Raji cells treated with BA.Conclusion BA could inhibit the proliferation of Raji cells by regulating the cell cycle that arrests cells at G_0/G_1 phase and induces apop- tosis of Raji cells.The antitumor effects of BA may be related to down-regulation of the expression of cy- clin D3.

Objective: To investigate the trends in incidence, mortality and disease burden of prostate cancer among residents at ages of 60 years and older in Zhangjiagang City, Jiangsu Province from 2006 to 2022, so as to provide insights into improvements in the prostate cancer control strategy. Methods: The incidence and mortality of prostate cancer among residents at ages of 60 years and older in Zhangjiagang City from 2006 to 2022 were collected from the Chronic Diseases Monitoring and Management System in the National Health Information Platform of Zhangjiagang City, and the crude incidence and mortality of prostate cancer were calculated and standardized to data from the sixth national population census in China in 2010. Based on the disease burden of prostate cancer captured from the 2019 Global Burden of Disease Study datasets, the years of life lost due to premature death (YLL) and years of life lived with disability (YLD) and disability-adjusted life years (DALY) due to prostate cancer were measured, and trends in incidence, mortality and disease burden of prostate cancer were analyzed using average annual percent change (AAPC). Results: The crude incidence, standardized incidence, crude mortality, standardized mortality, crude DALY rate and standardized DALY rate of prostate cancer were 89.85/105, 83.87/105, 32.31/105, 25.45/105, 546.39/105 and 483.50/105 among residents at ages of 60 years and older in Zhangjiagang City from 2006 to 2022, which all appeared a tendency towards a rise (AAPC=5.346%, 4.219%, 6.648%, 3.697%, 4.198% and 2.200%, all P<0.05). The crude incidence, mortality and DALY rate of prostate cancer all appeared a tendency towards a rise with age (all P<0.05), with a tendency towards a rise seen for the crude incidence of prostate cancer among residents at ages of 60 to 64 years, 65 to 69 years and 70 to 74 years (AAPC=4.888%, 8.086% and 3.005%, all P<0.05), and a tendency towards a rise for the crude mortality and DALY rate among residents at ages of 80 years and older (AAPC=10.243% and 9.693%, both P<0.05). Conclusion The incidence and mortality of prostate cancer showed a tendency towards a rise among residents at ages of 60 years and older in Zhangjiagang City from 2006 to 2022, and the disease burden due to prostate cancer continued to increase, with a more remarkable increasing tendency seen for the incidence of prostate cancer among residents at ages of 60 to 74 years and for the mortality among residents at ages of 80 years and older.

To standardize the harvest ways of Dendrobium officinale and improve the quality and yield of D. officinale, a field experiment was carried out to study the effect of two kinds of harvest ways, which were keeping some of the axial shoot and harvesting all of the shoot by the end of the year. Then, the agronomic traits and yield were measured and the contents of polysaccharides and extractum were determined. The results showed that the harvest ways significantly affected the growth of D. officinale. Keeping some of the axial shoot could significantly improved the number of sprout, stem length, internode number and the internodal length, which also triggered increase the weight of fresh stems, leaves and the total of them and dry stems in per unit area, but it could not promote the stem diameter and the polysaccharide content in stems. Keeping some of the axial shoot moderately was conducive to the improvement of the production of medicinal materials in the process of harvesting by promoting the germination and growth of new buds, and to ensure the polysaccharide content by regulating the illumination and the density of cultivation.
