Racemic (±)-F18 (10-chloromethyl-11-demethyl-12-oxo-calanolide A), an analog of nature product (+)-calanolide A, is a new anti-HIV-1 nonnucleoside reverse transcript inhibitor (NNRTI). A successful enantioseparation of (±)-F18 offering (R)-F18 and (S)-F18 was achieved by a chiral stationary phase prepared HPLC. Their absolute configurations were determined by measurement of their electronic circular dichroisms combined with modem quantum-chemical calculations. Further investigation revealed that (R)-F18 and (S)-F18 shared a similar anti-HIV activities, however, (R)-F18 was more potent than (S)-F18 against wild-type virus, K101E mutation and P225H mutation pseudoviruses.

The paper described the necessity of social capital utilization for public hospitals, and analyzed the model and characteristics of public hospital financing. It is pointed out that the key to the public-benefit nature in the financing calls for distinguishing responsibilities of the government and the market, defining the reasonable level and manner for investors' return, and building corresponding incentive mechanism and supervision mechanism.

Traumatic brain injury (TBI)has been classified as mild,moderate,or severe,on the basis of the Glasgow coma scale (GCS)score.Mild TBI is estimated to account for 90% of all cases of TBI, and it has become a serious public health problem,with morbidity increasing year by year.At present,there is a lack of accepted uniform definition of mild TBI.Clinically,mild TBI and concussion are interchangeable terms.In recent years,advances in brain imaging,biomarkers determination,and neuropathology have encouraged people to revise and update their knowledge about mild TBI.In view of the high prevalence of mild TBI in the emergency and community,and the absence of the data concerning the long-term effects of mild TBI, further research is needed about how to reduce morbidity and costs, alleviate delayed consequences,and develop evidence-based interventions to improve outcomes.

BACKGROUND:Previous research have confirmed that CD34 is closely related to oncogenesis, progress, recurrence, metastasis and drug-resistance of various cancers, but its role in nasopharyngeal carcinoma remains unclear.
OBJECTIVE:Tosortcels positive and negative for CD34 in nasopharyngealcarcinoma cel lines and to detect cel proliferation and migration.
METHODS:Expressionsof CD34 in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cel lines 5-8F, 6-10B, CNE1 and CNE2 were detected by flow cytometry. And CD34+and CD34-cels were sorted based on cel surfacemarkers for purity identification. Afterwards, proliferation and migrationof CD34+and CD34-celswere detected by MTT assay, colony-formation assay and scratch assay.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Al four nasopharyngeal carcinoma cel lines expressed CD34 in
0.1%-0.2%, and the level of CD34 was closely related to the cel growth density. The purity of CD34+cel was more than 98% in the sorted CD34+celpopulations, but no CD34+cels were found inthe sorted
CD34-celpopulations.At 1, 3, 5 and 7 daystheproliferation rate of CD34+cel, populationswas
significantly higher than that of CD34-cels (P< 0.05). Consistently, thecolony-formation efficiencyof CD34+cel was significantlyhigher than that ofCD34-cels (P< 0.05). Moreover, CD34+cels migrated significantly faster than CD34-cels by scratch assay (P< 0.05). In conclusion, CD34+cels culturedin vitro display higher proliferation and migration capacities, indicating that CD34+celshavethe potential of nasopharyngeal carcinoma stem cels.

Objective:To assess whether Veronicastrum axillare (V. axillare) can ameliorate ethanol-induced gastric mucosal lesions in rats, reduce the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, suppress apoptosis and improve local microcirculation disturbances.
Methods:Totally 48 male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups, eight rats in each group. Rats in the normal group and the model group were administered with 0.9%normal saline respectively. Rats in the positive group and ranitidine group were administered with 0.18% ranitidine suspension by intragastric administration respectively. Those in the high dose V. axillare group, the medium dose V. axillare group and the low dose V. axillare group were administrated with V. axillare at the daily dose of 2.8 g/kg, 1.4 g/kg and 0.7 g/kg by intragastric administration. Gastric mucosal lesions were produced by intragastric administration of absolute ethanol. Water extract of V. axillare was successively injected for 14 d and last day was injected 1 h before ethanol administration. Gastric mucosal ulcer index and ulcer inhibitory rate were counted by improved Guth methods. The tissue sections were made for pathological histology analysis. Also, we measured the concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and endothelin-1 (ET-1) in gastric mucosal, as an index of the pro-inflammatory cytokines, apoptosis and local microcirculation. Besides, the mRNA contents of TNF-αand ET-1 were measured to verify effects on gene expression by real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR.
Results: Water extract of V. axillare significantly ameliorated the gastric mucosal lesions induced by ethanol administration (P<0.01). Pro-inflammatory cytokines, TNF-αand ET-1 were increased after ethanol administration and significantly reduced by water extract of V. axillare. The expressions of TNF-αand ET-1 mRNA were also be inhibited by water extract of V. axillare.
Conclusion: Current evidences show water extract of V. axillare is effective for defending against ethanol-induced gastric mucosal lesions, significantly inhibiting the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines and the expressions of TNF-αand ET-1 mRNA, which may be useful for inhibiting apoptosis and improving local microcirculation.

Objective To investigate the applicability of clinical grade and a non-contact measurement method in evaluation of underneath eye wrinkles and to compare two methods.Methods A lot of 46 healthy Chinese women were recruited for this study.Underneath eye wrinkles severity was evaluated using clinical grade and a non-contact measurement method.The correlations were calculated for clinical grade and non-contact measurement parameters and age.The non-contact measurement parameters were classified by factor analysis.The correlations between age,clinical grade and factors were analyzed.Results The correlation coefficient between clinical grade in comparison to subject's age was 0.818.The parameters getting from non contact measurement were obviously correlated with age and clinical grade except SEr and SEsc;the correlation coefficients between parameters and age were-0.601 to 0.605;the correlation cofficients between parameters and clinical grade were-0.630 to 0.570.The non-contact measurement parameters could be classified into two factors;one represented wrinkle depth and roughness;the other represented wrinkle width and counts.These two factors were also obviously correlated with age and clinical grade.Conclusions Clinical grade and non contact measurement methods are both applicable in evaluation of underneath eye wrinkles.The parameters getting from two methods are obviously correlated with each other.

Hospice care is a health care involving end-of-life quality of millions of people. Compared with the growing demand for hospice services, the domestic service supply is seriously insufficient, making it urgent to explore the development path to meet the diversified health service needs of the public. Based on the analysis of the current situation of hospice development in the mainland and Taiwan of China, the " five-in-one" hospice development path consisting of top-level design, legislative protection, personnel training, social support, and publicity and education was proposed, which was expected to provide a basis for promoting the development of hospice practice in Chinese mainland. The aim is to provide a reference for promoting the development of hospice practice in Chinese mainland.
