The changes of skeletal muscle mitochondral monoamine oxidase (MAO) activity in rats fed with low Se grains from a Keshan-disease area were observed. The rats were killed at the time for feeding 30, 60 and 90 days respectiely. The mitochondrium of skeletal muscle was isolated MAO activity was determined with fluorescent methed. The results showed that in low-Se group the mitochondrial MAO activity was significantly decreased only at the time for 90 days feeding however GSH-px activity in red blood cells and Se content in plasma were significantly decreased at all experimental period as compared to Se-supplemented or stock died group.

Sprague—dawey rats were fed for one to three months with Se—deficient grains from Keshan disease area, Se—supplemented diet and stock diet,respectively. Changes of Na~+ ,K~+ ATPase and 5'—nucleotidase activities in cardiac sarcolemma ,Se Contents in liver and plasma and GSH—px activities in Liver and red blood cells of rats were observed. The results showed that Na~+ ,K~+—ATPase. and 5'—nucleotidase activities in cardiac sarcolemma in Se-deficient group rats were significantly decreased,hepatic and plasma Se contents as well as hepatic and erythrocyte GSH—px activities were also significantly decreased at of feeding 30,60 and 90 d as compared to Se—supplemented or stock diet group. There was no significant difference in these parameters between Se—supplemented or stock diet groups There was no significant difference in these paramefers between Se—supplemented and stock diet groups。

Objective To study the prevalence of tick bites and relative factors of outpatients with fever from health care fa?cilities in Tengchong County. Methods From July to August,2014,the outpatients with fever in five health care facilities namely Tengchong Center for Disease Control and Prevention,Hehua Health Center,Jietou Health Center,Qushi Health Cen?ter and Xinhua Health Center were investigated by questionnaires. The factors related to tick bites were explored with the univari?ate analysis and multiple regression models. Results Totally 884 effect questionnaires were acquired. Among the 884 partici?pants,85(9.6%)had experienced tick bites. The frequency of tick bites was associated with locations,gender,age group,own?ership of cattle,working at foreign country,firewood cutting and lumbering in the forest(all P<0.05). The multiple regression revealed that the male and people raising cattle,working at foreign country,engaging in firewood cutting and lumbering in the forest had a more risk for tick bites. Conclusions Tick bites are common in the residents of Tengchong County. The risk of be?ing bitten varies in different populations. The local health departments should promote health education in the high?risk popula?tion to reduce the risk of infecting tick?borne diseases.

Three groups of Sprague-Dawley rats were fed on low-Se diet frow Keshan disease area, Se-supplemented diet and stock diet respectively, for observing the effect of Se on mitochoadrial monoamine oxidase (MAO) activities in myocardia. The results showed that cardiac mitochondrial MAO activities in the Se-deficient group were significantly decreased as compared to both the Se-supplemented and stock diet group, and Se content in plasma and GSH-Px activity in. red blood cells also were significantly reduced at 30, 60 and 90 days of feeding. In Se-supplemented group MAO and GSH-Px activities as well as Se content were comparable to levels in the stock diet group.

Objective To explore the influence of delivery mode and feeding pattern on cytomegalovirus (CMV) infection on infants born ≥ 32 gestational weeks,and to observe the outcomes after CMV infection.Methods In this retrospective study,378 pregnant women with positive CMV IgG and negative CMV IgM,and their offsprings (384 cases,including six pairs of twins),who got visited at five hospitals of our collaboration group during March 2013 and February 2016,were enrolled.Serum samples were retrieved from a previous study of these participants for CMV IgM and IgG detection with enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.All participants were divided into exclusive artificial feeding (EAF) and breastfeeding groups (BF),and the latter included exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) and mixed feeding (MF).T or Chi-square or Fisher's exact tests were performed for statistical analysis.Results (1) Among the 378 pregnant women,there were 186 mothers and 190 infants (4 pairs of twins) in BF group,and the other 192 mothers and 194 infants (2 pairs of twins) in EAF group.The percentage of male infants were 54.7％(104/186) and 56.2％(109/194) in the BF and EAF group,respectively.The mean birth age was (38.9± 1.4) and (38.7± 1.7) weeks,and the age at followingup was (9.8± 2.2) and (10.5± 2.9) months,respectively.(2) The CMV IgG positive rate of infants in BF group was higher than in the EAF group [62.6％(119/190) vs 29.9％ (58/194),x2=41.403,P＜0.001].CMV IgG levels in infants were higher than the mothers [(537.1 ±249.5) vs (416.2±241.2) U/ml,t=4.609,P＜0.001].In infants with positive CMV IgG,the positive rates of CMV IgM were similar in the two groups [21.0％(25/119) vs 19.0％ (11/58),x2=0.101,P=0.751].(3) The positive rate of CMV IgG in vaginally born infants was higher than those born by caesarean section [55.2 (95/172) vs 38.7％ (82/212),x2=10.472,P=0.001].Further analysis in the EAF group showed that those infants born vaginally had a higher positive rate ofCMV IgG than those born by caesarean section [42.9％ (33/77) vs 21.4％ (25/117),~=10.231,P=0.001],while this figure did not show statistical difference in the BF group.(4) Infants with positive or negative CMV IgG were in similar age and gender proportion,as well as their height and weight.Among 36 infants with both positive CMV IgG and IgM,three failed in alanine aminotransferase (ALT) test due to hemolysis.However,among the other 33 cases,15.1％ (five cases) presented with lightly elevated ALT (42-107.2 U/L),which was similar to those infants with positive CMV IgG and negative CMV IgM (14/98,14.3％) and those with both negative CMV IgG and IgM (20/144,13.9％),(x2=0.036,P=0.982).Conclusions Although breastfeeding and vaginal birth may increase CMV infection rate in neonates and infants,but no obviously adverse prognosis was reported in those born over 32 gestational weeks.So we should encourage vaginal birth and breastfeeding in these population.

According to understanding of the pathogenesis of acne, scholars have established animal models of acne inflammation, animal models of grafting human skin acne, and natural acne animal models. The acne inflammation model is mainly induced by bacterial infection, chemical drug application, and foreign matter injection. Natural acne animal models include animals that some are sensitivity to hormones and some have clinical symptoms of acne. It is necessary to select appropriate model animals and replicate model methods for the development of acne intervention products with different degrees and mechanisms. At present, there are only human evaluation standards of acne health functions in China, but no animal evaluation standards, which has affected the in-depth study of the pathogenesis of acne as well as the research and development progress of acne products. This article summarizes the conditions for the occurrence of acne, the characteristics of human skin, the bidirectional effect of Cutibacterium acnes on human skin, acne animal models, and commonly used observation and evaluation indicators, providing the reference for studying the pathogenesis of acne, promoting acne treatment and health care, and developing treatment products.
