BACKGROUND:Insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) is an important mitogen and an indispensable regulator during normal hair cell development. Extracellular signal regulated kinase 1/2 (ERK1/2) is also expressed in mammalian vestibular organs.OBJECTIVE: To investigate the changes of the expression and the distribution of IGF-1, IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) and ERK1/2 in guinea pig's vestibular epithelium following gentamycin injury.DESIGN: A randomly controlled study.SETTING: Department of Otorhinolaryngology, General Hospital of Chengdu Military Area Command of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: Twenty healthy and adult guinea pigs, weighing 300 to 350 g, provided by the Experimental Animal Center,Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA, were randomly divided into four experimental groups and a control group with 4 in each group.METHODS: The experiment was performed at Department of Otorhinolaryngology Research Laboratory of Xijing Hospital,Fourth Military Medical University of Chinese PLA from January 2002 to May 2002. In the experimental groups,gentamycin was intraperitoneally administered daily (80 mg/kg) for 10 consecutive days. For the control group, 1 mL of 0.9% sterile saline was administered in the same way. The guinea pigs, in which unsteady gait or nystagmus appeared,could be involved in the further experiments. Before being sacrificed, the animals' gait, nystagmus and the amount of food-intake were observed every day. The animals were anesthetized deeply with 50 mg/kg pentobarbital 1, 7, 14 or 21days after the last gentamycin administration and then decapitated. Bilateral otic vesicles were harvested and immersed in 4% paraformaldehyde. Then the specimens were decalcified in 10% ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (EDTA),thereafter embedded in OCT gel and serially sectioned at a thickness of 10 μm in the cryostat. The behavioral changes of guinea pigs were observed. The morphological changes of vestibular epithelium were examined by hematoxylin and eosin (HE) staining. The expression and distribution changes of IGF-1/1R and ERK1/2 were investigated immunohistochemically. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The behavioral, morphological, expression and distribution changes of IGF-1/1R and ERK1/2 of guinea pigs in each group.RESULTS: Twenty involved guinea pigs entered the stage of final analysis. ① All the guinea pigs' vestibular functions were impaired after gentamycin treatment, then partially restored without any pharmaceutical treatment. ②Morphological injury was obvious after gentamycin treatment, and improved 1 week later. ③The expression of IGF-1/1R was low in the control group, and in the 1-day group it increased significantly to its maximum. After that, its expression decreased gradually, but was still higher in the 21-day group than that in the control group. There were significant differences in the expression of IGF-1/1R among different groups (F =51.8,45.7,P ＜ 0.05). The expression changes of IGF-1 and its receptor were similar. ④The expression of ERK1/2 was low in the control group, and increased gradually after gentamycin toxicity. In the 7-day group, the immunoreactivity reached its maximum. Then the levels of ERK1/2 decreased gradually, but were still higher in the 21-day group than that in the control group. There were significant differences in the expression of ERK1/2 among different groups (F =103.7,106.4, P ＜ 0.01), but no significant differences existed in the expression between ERK1 and ERK2 among different groups (P ＞ 0.05).CONCLUSION: The expression of IGF-1/1R and ERK1/2 in vestibular epithelium increased after gentamycin treatment,and IGF-1 may play an important role as an endogenous mitogen through a paracrine or autocrine manner in the early stage of hair cell self-repair of guinea pigs. ERK1/2 may play an important role in signal transduction during vestibular hair cell self-repair after gentamycin toxicity in guinea pigs.

The medication frequency, association rules, herbal combination and the cluster analyses were explored.Results Among the 149 prescriptions with 210 drugs, the use of high frequency drugs wereGouji, Baishao, Danggui, Duzhong, Weilingxian, and other medication whose frequency was more than 20 times were good at tonifying liver and kidney, activating blood circulation, clearing heat and promoting diuresis, dispelling cold and removing dampness. The high frequency of drug combinations included Sangjisheng and Gouji, Duzhong and Gouji, Baishao and Gouji, Guizhi and Baishao, Gancao and Danggui.Conclusions The treatment of ankylosing spondylitis with Chinese medicine is mainly based on tonifying liver and kidney, supplemented with drugs for warming Kidney Yang, dispelling cold and dehumidification, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, clearing heat and promoting diuresis, dispelling wind and cold.

Objective·To identify the relationship between the estimated fetal weight (EFW) discordance and birth weight (BW) discordance, and evaluate the accuracy of ultrasonography in predicting birth weight discordance (△BW) of twin pregnancy. Methods·The ultrasound was used to detect the growth of twins at different gestational weeks and the data were analyzed to compare the difference between EFW discordance (△EFW) and ?BW. Results·About 15.9 percent of twins (totally 277 cases) had severe △BW (△BW ≥20%) in our study, and the percentages of dichorionic-diamniotic twin (DCDA) and monochorionic-diamniotic twin (MCDA) were 68.2% and 31.8%, respectively (P>0.01). Compared with △EFW in other gestational weeks,△EFW last time before parturition was most consistent of △BW. Furthermore, the negative predictive value of MCDA was highest (94%) at 22-24 gestational weeks. Conclusion·Twin △BW was relatively better predicted by △EFW last time before parturition. Twin pregnancy without severe △EFW (△EFW<20%), especially MCDA with △EFW<20% at 22-24 weeks, had low probability of selective intrauterine growth restriction in the future.

BACKGROUND:Lumbar spinal stenosis is clinical repaired with decompression, bone fusion and internal fixation, and different internal fixation materials can be chosen during the surgery. OBJECTIVE:To explore the influence of polyetheretherketone (PEEK) pedicle screw fixation combined with interbody fusion on the bone fusion rate of patients with lumbar spinal stenosis. METHODS:A retrospective analysis was performed in 63 cases of lumbar spinal stenosis undergoing decompression and interbody fusion. These patients were divided into control group (titanium internal fixation system,n=31) and experimental group (PEEK pedicle internal fixation system,n=32) according the internal fixation materials folowed by posterior spinal decompression with interbody fusion. The Oswestry dysfunction index scores before and 4, 12, 24 weeks postoperatively and bone fusion rates at 4, 12, 24 weeks postoperatively were compared between the two groups. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Oswestry dysfunction index scores showed a gradual decline in both two groups before and 4, 12 and 24 weeks after treatment, but there was no difference at different time (P > 0.05). At 4 and 24 weeks after treatment, there was no difference in the bone fusion rates between the two groups (P > 0.05), but at 12 weeks after treatment, the bone fusion rate in the experimental group was better than that in the control group (P < 0.05). During the surgery, no infection and other adverse events occurred in the two groups. These results indicate that both PEEK and titanium internal fixation systems for lumbar tube stenosis have obtained good results, but PEEK material has a better role in the bone fusion at 4-12 weeks after internal fixation.

Objective To explore the value of endothelial dysfunction assessment in predicating major adverse cardiac and cerebrovascular events (MACCE) in peritoneal dialysis (PD) patients.Methods A prospective cohort study included 136 end stage renal disease (ESRD) patients from Jan 1,2009 to Dec 31,2011 was conducted.Endothelial function was assessed by flowmediated dilation (FMD) of brachial artery.Kaplan-Meier method was used to estimate survival rate.The survival difference between the two groups was compared by the log-rank test.Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression was used to determine the independent risk factors of MACCE.Results In the follow-up period,18 patients in low FMD (FMD≤2.7％) group occurred MACCE,and 13 patients in high FMD (FMD ＞ 2.7％) group occurred MACCE.Compared with high FMD group,MACCE-free survival rate in the low FMD group had a significantly decreased (x2=4.190,P=0.041).Multivariate Cox proportional hazards regression analysis showed that higher level of total cholesterol,lower FMD,longer PD time and higher levels of hs-CRP were all independent predictors of MACCE.Conclusion Reduced brachial artery FMD is an independent risk factor of MACCE,and the application of FMD contributes to the risk stratification of cardiac and cerebrovascular disease in PD patients.

Objective To explore the relationship of insulin resistance with serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D levels and arterial stiffness in elderly patients.Methods A total of 162 elderly inpatients (aged 60 years or over) were recruited from 2012 to 2014.Levels of fasting serum insulin,fasting serum glucose,creatinine and vitamin D were determined.Insulin resistance (IR) was evaluated by the homeostasis model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR).The patients were divided into the following three groups according to HOMA-IR:the low IR group with HOMA-IR less than 2 (n=78),the median IR group with HOMA-IR between 2 and 6 (n=43),and the high IR group with HOMA-IR greater than 6 (n=41).Arterial stiffness was assessed by carotid-femoral pulse wave velocity (cfPWV).Arterial stiffness and serum vitamin D levels were compared among the three groups.Results cfPWV was increased and the serum 25-hydroxyvitamin D level was decreased in the high insulin resistance group compared with the low insulin resistance group[(13.2± 5.7) μg/L vs.(17.8±6.2) μg/L,(14.3±5.2) m/s vs.(11.9±3.0) m/s].Multiple liner regression analysis showed that IR was negatively correlated with the serum 25 hydroxyvitamin D level (r=-0.63,P＜0.05) and positively correlated with arterial stiffness (r=0.45,P＜0.05) after adjustment for age,sex and other confounders.Conclusions Elderly patients with high insulin resistance may have lower levels of serum vitamin D and higher arterial stiffness.

Objective To understand the operators'psychosomatic health status in nuclear power plant;and provide the scientific basis of measures for preventing and reducing mental disorders in operators.Methods The Psychosomatic Health Battery(PSHB) was used to assess the psychosomatic health status in 109 operators who were random selected from Qinshan nuclear power plant,etc.They were tested from lie,emotional stability,liveliness,tension,apprehension,mental health,such as psychopathic deviatesuch 7 personality traits.Results Lie < 8,all inspected groups were normal.Psychopathic deviate:98.2% for normal group 0.9% for both of groups occurred possible mental health problems and confirmed mental health problems ;Mental health:80.7% (88/109) for fine mental health ones,29.4% (32/109) for those with excellent mental health,51.4% (56/109) for good mental health ones,13.8% (15/109) for general mental health ones,5.5% (6/109) for poor mental health ones.Age factor could influence the mean values of the factors of apprehension,tension,mental health and psychopathic deviate.Correlation analysis showed that there was a correlation between tension and psychopathic deviate(r = 0.664 ,P < 0.01),and the other correlation coefficient was between apprehension and mental health(r =-0.789 ,P < 0.01).Conclusions There is an excellent condition of psychosomatic health in most of the operators,however,there are still a very small percentage of psychosomatic disorders among these operators,to improve the quality of their psychosomatic health,psychological counseling should be particularly strengthened to those with problems of psychosomatic health.

Objective To explore the personality features of nuclear power plant operators and the influencing factors thereof.Methods Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory was used to examine the personality features of 136 nuclear power plant operators randomly selected from 2 cooperative units,all males.The results were compared with the nationwide norms and subsequently an inter-block contrast analysis was carried out.Results Obvious difierence was observed in the final scores between the nuclear power plant operators and nationwide norms.The former got higher scores on hysteria(t=3.05,P<0.05).and lower scores on hypochondriasis,depression,morbid personality,masculinity-femininity,paranoia,psychasthenia,schizophrenia,hypomania,and social introversion(t=7.47,7.47,7.3 1,2.23,15.09,16.15,19.28,7.88,11.10,P<0.05).The scores on hypochondriasis,depression,schizophrenia,and social introversion of those with the length of services over 3 years were all significantly higher than those ofwith the length of services less than 3 years(t=3.25,2.51,2.76,3.00,P<0.05).The scores on hypochondriasis,depression,psychop8thicdeviate,and social introversion of the operators aged over 30 were all significantly higher than those of the operators aged below 30(t=2.36,2.35,2.01,2.54,P<0.05).Conclusions The psychological quality of the nuclear power plant operators is superior to that of the general population.
