Objective To investigate the effect of treatment with endostatin combined with siRNA targeting VEGF on rats with collagen-induced arthritis (CIA).Methods Two mg/ml bovinetype Ⅱ collagen was injected into the rat footpad to build up the animal model of CIA.The experimental animal models were treated with endostatin combined with siRNA targeting VEGF 18 days later after immunization and the treatment ended 32 day later.The efficacy was evaluated by the weight,foot and ankle volume of rats.The levels of VEGF in plasma were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).The VEGF distribution within synovial tissue was detected and examined by immunohistochemical technique.The pathological changes of CIA were evaluated by the pathological changes of the biopsied ankle joints.Student's t test was used to evaluate the experimental data.Results The ELISA test showed that comparing with the model group (17.5±0.3),the endostatin group (15.7±0.3) ng/L and the endostatin combined siRNA targeting VEGF group (14.7±0.5) ng/L showed a significant efficacy in the treatment of CIA in rats (P＜0.05).The endostatin group (135±27) and the endostatin combined siRNA targeting VEGF group (126±71) were different in the number of VEGF in plasma and the VEGF distribution within synovial tissue (P＜0.05),the symptoms of arthritis in these rats were reduced than the model group.Conclusion Endostatin combined siRNA targeting VEGF has good therapeutic effect on rats with CIA.

Objective:To study the changes of rice protein and its limiting amino acids in storage and provide theoretical basis for utilizing and improving its nutritive value. Methods:During rice aging , the kinetic properties of Lys and Trp were studied. Results:The changes of Lys conformed to kinetics first-class reaction, lnk=ln(2.05?107)-6929.3/T and Ea(activation energy)=57.61 kJ/mol, while those of Trp conformed to first-class reaction, lnk=ln(1.18?05)-5426.9/T and Ea=45.12 kJ/mol. Conclusion:Both Lys and Trp contents decreased significantly in storage, Trp worse than Lys. The nutritive value of rice protein then decreased.

Objective To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine on dreaming during general anesthesia in pediatric patients.Methods A total of 400 pediatric patients of both sexes,aged 5-12 yr,with body mass index of 15.2-18.1 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ,undergoing elective orthopedic surgery under general anesthesia,were randomly divided into control group (group C,n=200) and dexmedetomidine group (group D,n =200) according to the computer-generated random numeral order and numeral parity.Dexmedetomidine was infused intravenously in a loading dose of 0.5 μg/kg over 10 min before induction of anesthesia followed by infusion of 0.5 μg · kg-1 · h-1 until 30 min before the end of surgery in group D,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead of dexmedetomidine in group C.The pediatric patients who regained consciousness and recovered orientation in post-anesthesia care unit were interviewed for dreaming using a modified Brice questionnaire,and the dream (emotion,hearing and behaviours in dreams,memories for dreams) was evaluated using a 5-point Likert scale.Results Compared with group C,the incidence of dreaming was significantly decreased,the memory score was decreased (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in emotion,hearing and behaviour scores in dreams in group D (P＞0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine can decrease the development of dreaming during general anesthesia and produces no effect on the content of dreams (most are pleasant) in pediatric patients.

Objective To investigate the regulation effect of promoter methylation of deathassociated protein kinase (DAPK) on mRNA and protein expression of DAPK in tissue of primary gastric cancer (GC). Methods The cancerous and noncancerous samples from 62 patients with GC were determined by RT-PCR for mRNA expression of DAPK. The DAPK promoter methylation was detected by methylation-specific PCR. The protein expression of DAPK in 34 patients with methylation was determined by Western blot. Results mRNA and protein expre.ssions of DAPK in cancerous tissues were reduced significantly compared to noncancerous tissues (0. 2863d±0. 2027 vs 0. 57364±0. 1968,0. 2616±0. 0913 vs 0. 65294±0. 1808, P＜0.01). Methylation frequency of DAPK in cancerous tissues was higher than that in noncancerous tissues (54.8% vs 17.7%, P＜0.01). Furthermore, DAPK mRNA expression was decreased in methylation group compared to unmethylation group (0.1399±0. 0835 vs 0. 46404±0. 1569, P＜0. 01). Moreover, a significant correlation was demonstrated between the TNM stage and DAPK promoter methylation (P = 0. 04). Conclusion Expression of DAPK is down-regulated in cancerous tissues at mRNA and protein levels. Low expression of DAPK is associated with hypermethylation of the promoter of DAPK gene.

Objective To master iodine intake ways of children in Yancheng (coastal) and Zhenjiang (inland) cities,analyze their urinary iodine difference and provide solid evidence for adjustment of salt iodine and adequate iodine intake level of local residents.Methods Totally 50％ counties were randomly selected in Yancheng and Zhenjiang cities and 5 towns were sampled in each county in 2014,local water iodine,domestic salt iodine,local eating habits and urine iodine of children 8-10 years old were investigated,and the influences of different iodine intake ways on urine iodine level were analyzed.Results The median of water iodine was 4.76 μg/Lin Zhenjiang (n =40) and 50.80 μg/L in Yancheng (n =50),the difference was statisticelly significant in two cities (Z =6.93,P ＜ 0.05).Totally 2 400 salt samples were tested,the mean of salt iodine was (24.20 ± 5.07) mg/kg in Yancheng (n =1 500) and (22.87 ± 2.77) mg/kg in Zhenjiang (n =900),the difference was statisticelly significant in two cityies (t =7.23,P ＜ 0.05).The salt intake level in Zhenjiang (10.69-± 9.00) g/d appeared to be higher than that in Yancheng (8.40 ± 3.57) g/d,but the difference was not statistically significant (t =1.62,P ＞ 0.05).Totally 1 200urine samples were tested,the urine iodine level of Zhenjiang got higher results (265.83 μg/L,n =450) than that of Yancheng (182.15 μg/L,n =750,Z =12.18,P ＜ 0.05).The ratio of water iodine intake/salt iodine intake was about 1 ∶ 4 in Yancheng and 1 ∶ 50 in Zhenjiang,while residents in Zhenjiang got 21％ of daily iodine through extra ways.Eating habits like eating out did not have significant impact on urine iodine.Conclusions Based on the water iodine level,Yancheng is considered to be a appropriate iodine level area while Zhenjiang is a lack region.However,Zhenjiang has a higher urine iodine level than Yancheng,which is more than adequate to the recommendation.Salt iodine is a main iodine source in both cities.In iodine appropriate and deficiency areas,eating habits and food choices may play a more important role than geochemical factors in iodine intakes among residents.

Objective: The Phenomenon of different species with the same name has created potential threats to cinical safety of medication. Because of that, two kinds of “gonglao leaf” and their sibling adulterants have been identified by molecular methods in this study, to secure its safety in medication. Methods: Ilexcornuta, Mahoniabealei, Mahoniafortuneiand their sibling adulterants total of 9 species 45 samples were collected in this experiment,Total genomic DNA was extracted from them by the method of improved CTAB, ITS2 sequences were amplified, and the PCR products were sequenced. Sequence assembly and consensus sequence generation were performed by the CodonCode Aligner V 4.2.4.. The genetic distances were computed by MEGA 6.0 in accordance with the Kimura 2-Parameter (K2P) model and the phylogenetic tree constructed by the neighbor-joining (NJ) method. Results: The analysis results of the genetic distances, variable sites and the NJ phylogenetic tree showed that Ilexcornuta, Mahoniabealei, Mahoniafortunei were seperated from their sibling adulterants obviously. Conclusion: ITS2 sequence was able to identify two kinds of “gonglao leaf” and their sibling adulterants which can provide a basis for clinical accurate medication.
