Objective: To study percutaneous absorption of cinnamic acid and the effect of some common enhancers and pH value on it. Methods: Drug permeation tests were performed in K-C two-compartment diffusion cell through excised mice skin. Samples were collected from the receiver compartment, cinnamic acid concentration in samples was determined by HPLC. Results: Cinnamic acid could penetrate through excised mice skin. The permeability coefficient of cinnamic acid rose as its concentration increased. Cinnamic acid consisted of 20% ethanol, 30% ethanol and 3% Azone had high penetrating power. Conclusion: The research will provide experimental data for skin administration of Chinese medicine holding cinnamic acid.

Objective To explore the role of early intervention in the neurological development of preterm infants. Methods A total of 96 cases of premature infants enrolled in our hospital were randomly divided into the control group and the experimental group, the control group was received routine nursing care, the observation group was given the family intervention and health instruction on the basis of routine nursing care, the neurological development between two groups were compared. Results The fine motor skills, social skills, sports, adaptation ability and language expres-sion in the experimental group were significantly better than those in the control group, the difference in neurological development between two groups was statistically significant ( P<0 . 05 ) . Conclusion The present study indicates that combination of early intervention model medical guidance with family intervention can promote the nervous system de-velopment in premature infants, and it is worthy of extensively promoting to clinical application.

Curriculum of introduction to clinical medicine(ICM) in the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine was analyzed. Characteristics of ICM course in the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine were: early setting, rich in content, long duration and focusing on clinical. ICM course between Guangxi Medical University and University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine were compared. Taking advantages of ICM course in the University of Ottawa's Faculty of Medicine was conductive to better understanding the importance , teaching objectives and means of ICM course . The teaching quality evaluation system of ICM course would be built in the future.

Objective:To evaluate the effect of ionizing radiation on chromosome aberration of peripheral blood lymphocytes in children with vascular interventional procedure.Methods:The chromosome aberration of peripheral blood lymphocytes was analyzed before and after vascular interventional procedure to assess the effect of low-dose ionizing radiation on chromosomes. Peripheral blood (PB) was collected using heparin as an anticoagulant from 26 patients before and after (within 10 minutes) vascular interventional surgery. Informed consent was obtained from the patients′ parents.Results:Dicentric + centric ring (dic+ r) formation increased significantly ( U=647, P<0.01) in peripheral blood lymphocytes of children after interventional operation. No correlation was observed between the rate of dic+ r and the cumulative dose (CD), dose area product (DAP), age, body weight, gender and the estimated effective dose E ( P>0.05). There was no significant difference in dic+ r rate of children between different genders, ages and lesion sites ( P>0.05). The dic+ r rate after interventional operation exceeded 40×10 -3 in 4 of 26 cases with the highest of 95.83×10 -3. Conclusions:The ionizing radiation during children′s vascular interventional procedure might lead to the increase of chromosome aberration of peripheral blood lymphocytes and some children are abnormally sensitive. Great attention should be paid to the justification and radiation protection during interventional procedure for children.

Uch37 is a de-ubiquitinating enzyme that is activated by Rpn13 and involved in the proteasomal degradation of proteins. The full-length Uch37 was shown to exhibit low iso-peptidase activity and is thought to be auto-inhibited. Structural comparisons revealed that within a homo-dimer of Uch37, each of the catalytic domains was blocking the other's ubiquitin (Ub)-binding site. This blockage likely prevented Ub from entering the active site of Uch37 and might form the basis of auto-inhibition. To understand the mode of auto-inhibition clearly and shed light on the activation mechanism of Uch37 by Rpn13, we investigated the Uch37-Rpn13 complex using a combination of mutagenesis, biochemical, NMR, and small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS) techniques. Our results also proved that Uch37 oligomerized in solution and had very low activity against the fluorogenic substrate ubiquitin-7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (Ub-AMC) of de-ubiquitinating enzymes. Uch37Δ(Hb,Hc,KEKE), a truncation removal of the C-terminal extension region (residues 256-329) converted oligomeric Uch37 into a monomeric form that exhibited iso-peptidase activity comparable to that of a truncation-containing the Uch37 catalytic domain only. We also demonstrated that Rpn13C (Rpn13 residues 270-407) could disrupt the oligomerization of Uch37 by sequestering Uch37 and forming a Uch37-Rpn13 complex. Uch37 was activated in such a complex, exhibiting 12-fold-higher activity than Uch37 alone. Time-resolved SAXS (TR-SAXS) and FRET experiments supported the proposed mode of auto-inhibition and the activation mechanism of Uch37 by Rpn13. Rpn13 activated Uch37 by forming a 1:1 stoichiometric complex in which the active site of Uch37 was accessible to Ub.
