Aim To study the cardiotoxicity of celastrol to zebrafish embryo.Method 48 h post-fertilization zebrafish embryos were used as model for analysis of heart toxicity and were treated with various concentrations of celastrol.6,12,24 h after treatment morphological and functional changes of embryos hearts were observed.Results Cardiotoxicity was not found in embryos during 24 h treatment with 1 ?mol?L-1 concentration of celastrol.Toxic symptoms of embryos were caused by 2,3,4 ?mol?L-1 concentrations of celastrol with appearance of heart linearization,heart membrane hemorrhage and hemocytes accumulation in cardiac region.Moreover,heart rate decreased significantly with increase of concentration and prolongation of treatment.The EC50(24 h)of decrease of heart rate was about 1.78 ?mol?L-1.Conclusion Celastrol is cardiotoxic to zebrafish embryo.

To study the chemical constituents of K. oblongifolia, silica gel column chromatography, MCI and Sephadex LH-20 were used to separate the 70% acetone extract of the stems of K. oblongifolia. The structures of the isolated compounds have been established on the basis of physicochemical and NMR spectroscopic evidence as well as ESI-MS in some cases. Twenty compounds were obtained and identified as heteroclitalignan A (1), kadsulignan F (2), kadoblongifolin C (3), schizanrin F (4), heteroclitalignan C (5), kadsurarin (6), kadsulignan O (7), eburicol (8), meso-dihydroguaiaretic acid (9), kadsufolin A (10), tiegusanin M (11), heteroclitin B (12), (7'S)-parabenzlactone (13), angeloylbinankadsurin B (14), propinquain H (15), quercetin (16), kadsulignan P (17), schizanrin G (18), micrandilactone C (19) and (-)-shikimic acid (20). Compouds 1, 5, 8, 11-15, 18 and 20 were isolated from this plant for the first time. Toxicity of compounds 1-10 were evaluated with zebrafish model to observe the effect on its embryonic development and heart function. The results showed that compounds 7, 9 and 10 caused edema of zebrafish embryo and decreased the heart rate of zebrafish, which exhibited interference effect on heart development of zebrafish.

As a model organism, zebrafish have many advantages over other animal models and is suitable for studies on establishment of human disease model and mechanism.In zebrafish, there are two phases of endocrine formation during early development, which are directed by concomitant activity of many signaling pathways.Zebrafish pancreas possess similar cell structure with that of other animals, which can express various endocrine hormones including insulin.The main organs required for metabolic control, such as the pancreas, islet, and insulin sensitive tissue (muscle, liver) are conserved in zebrafish, and the mechanisms of glucose regulation in zebrafish is similar to that seen in mammalian models.These render it an excellent model to study glucose metabolism.Hyperglycemia in zebrafish model can be induced by administration of the diabetogenic drug, streptozotocin (STZ), alternatively immersion of the fish in glucose solution and water, or disturbing of signaling pathways associated with glucose metabolism.Glucose levels in adult zebrafish blood or embryo tissue and phenotype of retinal cell layers or retinal vasculature are the commonly used measurement organs in zebrafish diabetic models.

Aim To study the effect of rhein on renal damage induced by aristolochic acid. Methods Ze-brafish model of aristolochic acid nephropathy, genera-ted by treating zebrafish larvae with aristolochic acid for 24 h, was treated with rhein simultaneously . Mor-pholigical changes were observed and the creatinine level in larvae tissue was measured. And mRNA ex-pression levels of inflammatory factor cox2 a and fibrosis factor TGF-β1 in larvae tissue were detected using qPCR. Results Some larvae show periocular edema and circulation system defection e. g. weak heart beat, narrow cardiac vesicle, decreased blood flow and even blockage , with a dose-response relationship after expo-sure to aristolochic acid for 24 h. The creatinine level in larvae tissue of the treated group was significantly higher than that of the control larvae. And the expres-sion levels of cox2 a and TGF-β1 in larvae tissue of the treated group were also significantly increased. Per-centage of abnormal larvae and creatinine level in lar-vae tissue were decreased when treated with rhein sim-ultaneously. And the expression levels of cox2a was down-regulated by rhein compared with the aristolochic acid treated group. But rhein had no effect on TGF-β1 expression. Conclusion To some extent rhein can protect renal from damage induced by aristolochic acid.

Objective To investigate the changes and clinical significance of serum soluble intercellular ad-hesion molecule-1(sICAM-1),vascular endothelial growth factor(VEGF)and soluble across a membrane protein(sFas)in acute leukemia.Methods A total of patients with acute leukemia admitted to the People's Hospital of Anyue County from May 2020 to May 2022 were selected as the observation group,and 65 healthy people who underwent physical examination in the hospital during the same period were selected as the control group.All patients were treated with chemotherapy after admission,and followed up by telephone and outpa-tient for 1 year.The levels of serum sICAM-1,VEGF and sFas were compared between the two groups,and the levels of serum sICAM-1,VEGF and sFas were compared between the patients with different efficacy and different prognosis.The receiver operating characteristic(ROC)curve was established to evaluate the predic-tive value of related indicators for the efficacy and prognosis of acute leukemia.Results Compared with con-trol group,the levels of serum sICAM 1,VEGF,sFas in the observation group were increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the non-complete remission(CR)patients,the serum VEGF level in CR patients was signifi-cantly increased(P＜0.05).Compared with the good prognosis patients,the levels of serum sICAM-1,VEGF and sFas in the poor prognosis patients were increased(P＜0.05).ROC curve analysis showed that the area under the curve(AUC)of VEGF in evaluating the efficacy of acute leukemia was 0.778.The AUC for evalua-ting the prognosis of acute leukemia with sICAM-1,VEGF,and sFas alone and in combination were 0.793,0.729,0.666,and 0.889,respectively.Conclusion The levels of serum sICAM-1,VEGF and sFas are in-creased in patients with acute leukemia.The combination of sICAM-1,VEGF and sFas has certain clinical ref-erence value in evaluating the efficacy and prognosis of acute leukemia.

To analyze and research the number and size of public hospitals of our country at the present stage, and explore the regional health planning of public hospitals under the background of China's new medical reform, provide the scientific basis for our further layout of regional health planning for public hospitals of our country. Methods Mainly use the method of the document analysis, by collecting and analyzing the literature related to the regional health planning of public hospitals under the new health reform. And relevant data on China Health Statistics Yearbook 2011 were analyzed. Results The irrational regional health planning and layout design of public hospitals not only seriously affect the efficiency of health care resources, but also exacerbate the difficulty and high cost of people getting medical service. Conclusion Under the new health care reform, the definition of public hospitals and the positioning and functionality of public hospitals need to be re-examined. The following three aspects will solve the problem of regional health planning of public hospitals. First, to moderately reduce the number and size of public hospitals; second, to determine and adjust the number of public hospitals at all levels; Third, to reasonably lay out urban and rural public hospital.

Objective:To explore changes in high-risk sexual behaviors and associated factors in HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) in industrial workers, and provide evidence for designing behavioral interventions for this population.Methods:In this observational study, HIV-infected MSM were recruited in industrial workers using convenient sampling during August to September 2021. The sample size was estimated to be 530. A questionnaire was used and combined with routine follow-up to collect socio-demographic characteristics, high-risk sexual behaviors, partner notification, viral load testing and history of sexually transmitted diseases before and after diagnosis of HIV infection. The χ2 test was used to analyze the changes in high-risk sexual behaviors before and after diagnosis and logistic regression was conducted to identify factors associated with high-risk sexual behaviors. Results:A total of 560 HIV-infected MSM in industrial workers were recruited in this study. Of whom, 32.1% (180/560) had unprotected anal intercourse (UAI) within 12 months after diagnosis . The proportions of those having UAI with casual, commercial and regular same-sex partners significantly decreased from 73.4% (381/519), 75.1% (187/249) and 69.5% (207/298) within 12 months before diagnosis to 36.2% (146/403), 40.2% (86/214) and 34.2% (67/196) within 12 months after diagnosis , respectively. Educational level of college or above (a OR=0.41, 95% CI:0.23-0.71), passive anal sex (a OR=0.40, 95% CI:0.19-0.85), both active and passive anal sex after diagnosis (a OR=0.40, 95% CI:0.20-0.83) and no unprotected oral sex (a OR=0.02, 95% CI:0.01-0.05) were negatively associated with UAI within 12 months after diagnosis. Whereas, not considering necessary to use condom consistently after having repeated undetectable viral load (a OR=3.02, 95% CI:1.37-6.69) was positively associated with UAI within 12 months after diagnosis. Conclusions:Compared with that before diagnosis of HIV infection, although the prevalence of UAI seemed to decrease in HIV-infected MSM in industrial workers after diagnosis, nearly one third of them had high-risk sexual behaviors. Therefore, relevant interventions should be strengthened to reduce high-risk sexual behaviors.

Objective:To explore the cognition of the "undetectable equals untransmittable" ("U=U") concept and associated factors among HIV-infected men who have sex with men (MSM) receiving antiviral treatment (ART) in Shenzhen, and provide evidence for designing promotion and advocacy strategies for the "U=U" concept.Methods:We recruited HIV-infected MSM receiving ART using convenient sampling method combined with routine follow-up in Shenzhen through conducting observational survey. The sample size was estimated to be 475. A questionnaire was administered to collect socio-demographic characteristics, sexual behaviors, ART, viral load testing and the cognition towards "U=U" in HIV-infected MSM. Logistic regression was used to access factors associated with acceptance of "U=U".Results:A total of 490 HIV-infected MSM receiving ART were recruited. Of whom, 60.2% (295/490) were aware of "U=U" and 50.6% (248/490) accepted "U=U". Multiple logistic regression showed that participants who had an educational level of college or above (a OR=1.76,95% CI: 1.12-2.75) were more likely to accept "U=U". Those who had no local residency (a OR=0.51,95% CI: 0.29-0.92), had viral load >0 copies/ml in the last testing (a OR=0.61,95% CI: 0.38-0.98) and were unaware of "U=U" (a OR=0.13, 95% CI: 0.09-0.21), were less likely to accept "U=U". Conclusions:HIV-infected MSM receiving ART had a low cognition level of "U=U" in Shenzhen. Promotion and advocacy on this concept through healthcare workers should be enhanced in combination with routine follow-up in order to improve their ART adherence and outcome of treatment. Furthermore, developing related guidelines on "U=U" according to the characteristics of HIV-infected individuals is warranted to improve the normalization of promotion and advocacy on "U=U".
