1.Progress in the primate models of Alzheimers disease
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 1986;0(06):-
Alzheimers disease (AD) is a progressively and retrogressively neurodegenerative disorder of central nervous system severely threatening the aged. The studies of animal models, which share the very similar neuropathological characteristics with human, provide tools for the understanding of the etiology, mechanisms and medicine screening of AD. The distribution and chemical composition of amyloid-beta (A- beta) peptide -positive deposits were investigated in various non-human primate models. Various proportions of A- beta deposits contained cholinesterase activities, apolipoprotein E(ApoE) and alpha1-antichymotrypsin immunoreactivity. Alterations in the basal forebrain cholinergic system have been widely studied, but the magnitude of decline and relationship to cognitive impairment are still a matter of debate. This article also includes the latest research of the changing on tau, subtle structural alterations in axons, and neurofibrillary tangles (NFT) in the brain tissues of the non-human primate models.

Chinese Journal of Practical Nursing 2016;32(11):823-825
Objective To explore the relationship between self- management and DOSE index for patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods The convenient sampling and Pearson correlation analysis was used in the study,a total of 81 patients was investigated with Self- Management Scale (SMS) for COPD patients and DOSE index. Results The relationship of symptom management and DOSE index for COPD patients was a positive correlation (r=0.259, P<0.05);with self- efficacy was a negative correlation(r=-0.288, P<0.05).But self- management, daily life management, emotion management and information management with DOSE index were no correlation (P>0.05). Conclusions Through health education, nurses should strengthen to effectively help patients manage symptoms, enhance self- efficacy, improve the patients′quality of life.

Objectives:To investigate the characteristics of clinical changes during maintenance therapy of chronic periodontitis.Methods:22 patients with chronic periodontitis were enrolled in a 9-month maintenance care program after non-surgical periodontal therapy.Oral hygiene instructions together with supra-and sub-gingival scaling and root planing were carried out every 3 months.Clinical parameters including probing pocket depth(PPD),probing attachment level(PAL),and bleeding on probing(BOP) were recorded at baseline and each re-examination point.Results:The mean PPD decreased by 0.44 mm,PAL increased by 0.38 mm and BOP point number decreased by 18.94%.The recoveries were mainly observed during the first 3 months.Sites with ≥4 mm pocket at baseline exhibited a greater percentage of pocket deepening than those with initial shallow pocket.The incidence of the sites with PPD deeping of posterior teeth increased more than that of anterior teeth(P

Objective To identify hardly recognizable victims of an accident. Methods Tissues of muscle and cartilage were obtained from the dead bodies. Some of the tissues were checked by routine pathological microscopy. Genomic DNA was isolated from the tissues and subjected to STR profiling of 16 sites via multiple fluorescent PCR analysis with ABI’s AmpFLSTR Amplification Kit. Individual identification of the victims was carries out by matching the STR profiles of the victims with those of the parents. Results Routine pathological microscopy showed that the structure of some of the muscle tissues was totally destroyed, while the structure of all cartilage tissues was basically intact. Three patterns of genomic DNA isolated from victims’ muscle tissues could be seen in gel electrophoresis, i.e. basically undegraded, partially degraded and totally degraded. STR profiling failed due to the degradation of genomic DNA of some of the muscle tissues, while all samples of the cartilage genomic DNA could be used for STR typing. Conclusion Paternity identification based on STR genotyping was an effective way to identify victims of accidents, and cartilage tissue from the victims was the first choice for that purpose.

Objective: To study the effect of the ryegrass powder on the insulin resistance in obese rats. Method: Thirty four Wistar rats were divided into three groups by random:control group fed with normal diet, both obese group and ryegrass powder group fed with high lipid diet for 6 w and then the ryegrass powder group fed ryegrass powder of 0 and 2 g/(kg bw?d) respectively for 4 w. Then blood lipids, glucose,free fatty acid and insulin were measured. Euglycemic clamp technique was used. Results: The blood glucose, insulin, TG, TCH, LDL and FFA of the obese group were obviously (P

Objective To find out the dynamic variation on HCV genome to give the theoretic basis for diagnosis of post transfusion hepatitis C,and demonstrate the causality between donors and recipients suffering from post transfusion hepatitis C.Methods The high variable envelope gene fragments (HVR1 and HVR2) of HCV was selected for a cross sectional study and a one year follow up study was carried out on 3 HCV patients at every 3 month period to understand the dynamic variation of HCV HVR in each patient.Results The homology of HCV HVR genes among different types is 56.99%~60.88%,65.09%~68.80% among different subtypes,and 80.05%~96.40% among the same subtypes.It consists with the geographic distribution of HCV.The homology between the different strains isolated from the same patients is 92.10%~99.73%,95.36%~97.54 and 97.07%~99.20%,respectively.Conclusion The variation of different HCV strains in HVR is great.However,the variation of the same virus in the same patient during short infectious period is rather limited,which is no more than 7.9% per year.So the transmission pathway of some hepatitis C cases can be trailed at the molecular level by this way,and some non transfusion transmitted hepatitis C cases can be exclude

Objective To assess the blood safety under the current sero-screening program and gain experience on how to implement NAT as a routine assay for blood screening in China. Methods Sera from 103,539 non-remunerated donors of Shanghai blood center were tested by Chiron's Procleix(TMA HIV-1/HCV Assay in 2 study stages with 8 and 24 sample-pool respectively. Results 5 NAT positive samples were found to be Anti-HCV EIA-2 test positive at the same time. No window period cases of HIV-1/HCV were found in this donor group. But 275 (0.27% ) anti-HCV and 107 (0. 10%) anti-HIV false positive samples were identified by the second sero-screening. Conclusion The blood quality of Shanghai city was high to be close to the level of developed countries and the window period risk of HIV-1 and HCV was less than 1:100,000. With its high sensitivity and specificity,Procleix( TMA HIV-1/HCV Assay can be used in routine blood screening in China.

Objective: To evaluate the effect of pingyangmycin-albumin microspheres (PYM-AMS) on the modality of endothelial cells. Methods:In the in vitro study blood vessle endothelial cells of ECV 304 cell line were exposed to PYM-AMS(containing PYM at 150 ?g/ml),AMS and PYM(150 ?g/ml) for 24,48,72 and 96 h respectively. In the in vivo study,24 Japanese white rabbits were divided into 4 groups using randomized block design. PYM+9 g/L NaCl,PYM+soyabean oil, PYM-AMS+soyabean oil(PYM at 5 mg/ml) were injected into the central auricular arteries of the animals(0.26 ml/per ear), then these vessels were examined histologically 2, 7, 14, 21 days after injection respectively. The mophorlogy of the cells was observed by light microscope and electron microscope.Results:In vitro, a great part of cells were swollen and cell number decreased in PYM and PYM-AMS group. But there was no change in AMS group.In vivo, the endothelial cells had no significant changes in PYM+9 g/L NaCl group.In PYM+soyabean oil group, at the 2nd day, the endothelial cells were a little bit swollen. At the 7th day, some endothelial cells were dropped off. At the 21st day, a few of endothelial cells were proliferative. In PYM-AMS group, at the 2nd day, the endothelial cells were a little bit swollen and small vessels were embolized by PYM-AMS. At the 7th day, the endothelial cells were swollen. At the 14th day, the endothelial cells were proliferative and the wall of the central auricular artery had more layers. The lumen of the central artery became smaller, while the surface of PYM-AMS was absorbed. At the 21st day, the wall of the central auricular artery was proliferative and the artery became sclerostenosed. The PYM-AMS was obviously absorbed, while the wall of small vein was proliferative, too. Conclusion:PYM-AMS and PYM may injure blood vessel endothelial cells, the effect of PYM-AMS is more obvious than pingyangmycin.
