The interaction of 5-fluorouracil (5-FU) with deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and serum albumin and the influence of some metal ions on the interaction have been studied by using spectral methods of UV-absorption,fluorescence and circular dichroism. It was shown that the interaction of 5-FU with DNA and serum albumin was effected by some metal ions. The binding costant of 5-FU with serum albumin was found to be KHSA = 4.38 × 103(mol/L)-1 and KBSA =4.95 × 103(mol/L)-1 and the distance between the bound 5-FU and the tryptophan residue was also determined to be rHSA = 3.53 nm, rBSA = 3.51 nm.

Objective To evaluate the effectiveness of tobacco control interventions among employees in centers for disease control and prevention (CDC) in Hebei Province. Methods Tobacoo control interventions, including health education, Quit and Win competition, and founding smokeless CDC, were carried out in CDC system in Hebei Province from May 2006 to June 2008. Surveys on smoking rate of employees and on average cigarette quantity consumed by male employee smokers were conducted at the beginning and the end of the interventions. Results In 2006, 9 931 employees in 174 centers at provincial, city, county level in Hebei Province participated in this study. The overall smoking rate was 25.69%. Male employees had a higher smoking rate (51.28%) than the females (0.68%). The smoking rate of male employees was 50.92%, 49.48% and 51.72% for provincial, city and county CDC levels, respectively. The average cigarettes consumed by one smoker in one day were 15.0. In 2008, 9 139 employees in 189 centers participated in this study. The overall current smoking rate was 25.07%. The smoking rate was 52.26% and 0.43% for males and females, respectively. The smoking rates of male employees in provincial and city CDCs were 43.93% and 46.18%, significantly lower than those in 2006. The smoking rate of male employees in county CDCs was 53.98%, much higher than that in 2006. The average cigarettes consumed by one smoker in one day in 2008 were 12.4, significantly less than that in 2006. The current smoking rate of male employees in smokeless CDCs was 48.0% , significantly lower than 56.9% in non smokeless CDCs. Conclusion Male employees in Hebei Province CDC system had a high smoking rate. Tobacco control interventions play a role in reducing smoking rate and cigarettes consumption.

Objective To explore the method of permeability for skin protective materials of rocket propellant based on the design and make of sealing container. Methods The propellant mass permeated per minute and per square centimeter was calculated by testing the mass through the sample at the fixed time in the sealing container. Results The method of permeability for skin protective materials against rocket propellant was developed by the mass variation of propellant in the sealing container. The limits of 100?g /(cm2?min) was raised to assess if the material had the protection ability. In the meantime, the reliability of material protection behavior was improved. Conclusion The science of the method developed is confirmed by comparing the permeation performance of protection materials at home and abroad, and the method can be the basis to assess the ability of protection materials.

AIM: To investigate the effects of intermittent hypoxic exposure and normoxic convalescence on the parameter of erythrocyte and serum hypoxia inducible factor1 alpha (HIF-1α) and erythropoietin (EPO)levels. METHODS: Rat models of intermittent hypoxic exposure were established, combined with the clinical research on volunteers experiencing the intermittent plateau work. Blood samples for red blood cell (RBC) counts, hemoglobin (Hb) and hematocrit (HCT) were collected, serum HIF-1α and EPO levels were measured using enzymelinked immunosorbentassy. RESULTS: RBC counts, Hb concentration and HCT were significantly higher than the normoxic group (P < 0.05), after exposure of rats to hypoxia from 7 to 28 days. Compared with the normoxic group, serum HIF-1α levels were higher in the group of IH3, 7, 14 days, and EPO had a corresponding increase in the group of IH3, 7 days. Then, a decrease was observed in parameter of erythrocyte and serum HIF-1α and EPO levels after 14 days normoxic convalescence treat. In volunteers studies, RBC counts in 8 monthes group and Hb concentration in 2 years group were significantly higher than the plain group (P < 0.05). The change of HCT was nearly the same as RBC, and HCT in 2 years group was higher than the plain group (P < 0.05). Compared with the plain group, EPO had no significant differences in any of plateau group. CONCLUSION: Intermittent hypoxic exposure can enhance serum hypoxia inducible factor-1 alpha and erythropoietin levels and the generation of red blood cells, which leads to an increase in hemoglobincon concentration and hematocrit. The results have changed with the hypoxic exposure period prolonged. Normoxic convalescence after intermittent hypoxic exposure can make the related indexes reduced, and contribute to the organism recovery.

Objective To evaluate the effect of oxytocin on Tp-e and QTc interval during caesarean section under spinal anesthesia in healthy puerperas. Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ puerperas were selected and allocated to receive oxytocin intravenous bolus group (group-IB) or oxytocin continuous infusion group (group-CI) with 20 puerperas in each by random digits table. An intravenous bolus of 5% glucose 5 ml and 5 U oxytocin was administered after delivery a 55-60 s period. A continuous infusion of 5% glucose 5 ml and 5U oxytocin was administered after delivery a 10 min period. Measured the QTc interval,Tp-e interval,mean arterial pressure (MAP) and beart rate ( HR ) pre-operatively, then 1,3 and 5 ain after spinal anesthesia, and at least 1,3,5 and 10 min after oxytocin injection. Results In group-IB:HR was fast 1 min after oxytocin injection compared with pre-operatively [(89 ± 13) beats/min vs. (73 ± 12) beats/min] ,MAP was decreased [(69 ± 12 ) mm Hg ( 1 mm Hg= 0. 133 kPa ) vs. ( 82 ± 13 ) mm Hg] and QTc interval was prolonged [(426 ±21 ) ms vs. (405 ± 18 ) ms] (P < 0.01 ); but Tp-e interval was prolonged 1,3,5 min after oxytocin injection compared with pre-operatively (P < 0.01 or < 0.05 ). Conclusions Single large dose of oxytocin intravenous bolus (5 U) can prolong QTc interval and Tp-e interval in healthy puerperas, and Tp-e interval can exact predict the occurrence of ventricular arrhythmias. The risk-benefit balance of oxytocin bolus during caesarean delivery should be discussed with women with a history of long QT syndrome.

Objective To investigate the effectiveness and safety of endovascular embolization for the treatment of middle cerebral artery aneurysms. Methods From March 2007 to May 2015,the clinical data of 170 patients with 173 middle cerebral artery aneurysms treated with endovascular embolization at the Department of Neurosurgery,Nanjing Jinling Hospital were analyzed retrospectively,including 120 (69.4%)ruptured aneurysms and 53 (30. 6%)unruptured aneurysms. The incidence of complications and prognosis were compared between the 2 groups. Results (1)A total of 170 patients who could perform endovascular embolization after preoperative evaluation successfully completed the interventional procedure. None of the patients died. (2)18 patients (10. 6%)had intraoperative and postoperative complications,including 4 (7. 5%,4/53)in the unruptured aneurysm group and 14 (11. 7%,14/120)in the ruptured aneurysm group. There was no significant difference in the incidence of complications between the two groups. (3)101 patients were followed up for 3-48 months. No new nervous system symptoms and reruptured aneurysm were observed. One patient had recurrence in the unruptured aneurysm group and 4 had recurrence in the ruptured aneurysm group. Conclusion Endovascular treatment of middle cerebral artery aneurysms is a safe,effective,and feasible technique.
