Objective To study the molecular mechanism of the toxic effect for tetracycline acting on liver using toxicological microarray.Methods Utilizing the mouse toxicological microarray and animal model of tetracycline injuring BALB/c mouse liver,both of which were established by our department,we observed the gene expression profiles in different dose groups and at different time points after tetracycline treatment,and primarily analysed the function of these differentially expressed genes using Gene Ontology Consortium analysis system and hierarchical method.Results Multiple differentially expressed genes were found,and an obvious difference in the profiles was found in those treated with high-dose and low-dose tetracycline.The differentially expressed genes of all time points in high-dose group were divided to four clusters,which respectively related to the molecular mechanism of repressed enegy metabolism,enhanced protein synthesis and degradation,impared system of resisting oxidation,signal transduction genes changing to accelerate apoptosis,repressed genes associated of drug metabolism.Conclusion The analysis using toxicological microarray can offer us many clues on molecular level for studying the mechanism of the toxic effect of tetracycline acting on liver.

Objective:To translate the English version of Edmonton Frail Scale into Chinese version and to test its reliability and validity.Methods:The translation and cross-cultural adaptation of the English version of Edmonton Frail Scale were generated by Beaton's translation and back-translation method. From April to August of 2019, at the department of geratology of the First affiliated Hospital of China Medical University in Shenyang, a sample of 303 hospitalized elderly adults who met the inclusion and exclusion criteria were selected via convenience sampling method to test its psychometric properties.Results:The scale level content validity index and item level content validity index of the Chinese version of the Edmonton Frail Scale were both 1.0. The criterion validity between the Chinese version of Edmonton Frail Scale and the Tilburg Frailty Indicator was 0.723 ( P<0.01), confirmed by Pearson correlation coefficients. Using the Tilburg Frailty Indicator as an external criterion, the Edmonton Frail Scale showed satisfactory diagnostic accuracy for frailty (area under the curve=0.924). The optimal cut-point for frailty was 6 (sensitivity: 77.6%, specificity: 94.7%). More frail individuals were recognized by the Chinese version of Edmonton Frail Scale among older and female participants than their counterparts( P<0.05). The Cronbach'α of the Chinese version of Edmonton Frail Scale was 0.599, the test-retest reliability within a 7-day interval of the scale was 0.822. Conclusions:The Chinese version of Edmonton Frail Scale presents good validity and reliability and can apply to Chinese hospitalized elderly people.

Paraquat is a quaternary ammonium herbicide, which can be distributed in lung, liver, kidney, heart, brain and other organs through blood circulation, leading to multiple organ failure, especially lung injury. Due to the lack of effective treatment methods and specific antidotes, the prognosis of most patients with paraquat poisoning is very poor. The treatment of paraquat poisoning was a big problem for emergency doctors. Previous studies have found that pulmonary fibrosis caused by paraquat poisoning is closely related to a variety of pathological processes, such as oxidative stress, inflammatory reaction, mitochondrial damage, imbalance of extracellular matrixproduction (ECM) and degradation, which involve the activation or inhibition of various signaling pathways. In recent years, many researchers focused on clarifying the mechanism of paraquat induced pulmonary fibrosis, and some signaling pathways related to paraquat poisoning leading to pulmonary fibrosis have been found. A large number of studies have found that adenosine monophosphate activated protein kinase (AMPK) related signaling pathway, transforming growth factor-β/Smad (TGF-β/Smad)signaling pathway, mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) related signaling pathway, Ras homolog gene/Rho associated kinases (Ras/ROCK) and Wnt/β-catenin signal pathways are closely related to paraquat induced pulmonary fibrosis. In this paper, we reviewed signaling pathways related to paraquat induced pulmonary fibrosis, in order to provide more ideas for the clinical treatment of paraquat induced pulmonary fibrosis.

Objective:To determine the level of FIB,IL-6,D-dimer and explore the differential diagnostic value and clinical significance of the tumor markers in patients with ovarian cancers.Methods: The level in serum of 65 ovarian cancer and 35 benign tumor of ovarian and 30 controls FIB and D-dimer were measured by latex agglutination assay.The IL-6 levels were measured by ELISA method.Results:Compared with the normal controls and benign tumor of ovarian cancer, there were some significantly changes in ovarian cancer patients including FIB,IL-6,D-dimer increased (P<0.05),there was no significant differences in FIB,D-dimer levels between ovarian benign tumors and normal controls(P>0.05).Companied with TNM stage increased,the levels of FIB,IL-6,D-dimer ovarian cancer groups increased.The correlation analysis showed that FIB was positively correlated with D-dimer and IL-6 (r=0.56,r=0.31).Conclusion:The level of serum FIB,D-dimer,IL-6 detection in patients with ovarian cancer are helpful in early diagnosis, dicision of clinical stages and regimen prognosis.

Objective To study the change of inflammatory factors in cerebral hemorrhage patients after haematoma fluidify drainage operation and the recovery of neural function.Methods In the observe group,eightyone cases of hypertensive cerebral hemorrhage were treated by haematoma fluidify drainage operation through bore skull and tube placed through the entrance of rear forehead,eighty patients underwent conservative treatment at the same period were taken as controls.The bleeding quantities ranged from 15 to 30 ml in both groups.The observe group underwent operation within 6-24 hours.The neural-functional grade was observed and serum IL-6 ,TNF-a,CRP after the operation of 1,7,14,and 30 days were measured.Results On the 7th day after operation,the neural functional grade was 27.47 ±6.21 in the observed group,which was significantly lower than that of the control group (39.28 ±8.32) (P＜0.05).On the 14th and 30th day after operation,the neural functional grade in the observed group ( 19.14 ± 5.21,15.33 ± 4.47,respectively) were significantly lower than those of the control group (31.16 ±7.99,25.33 ± 5.55,respectively ) ( P ＜ 0.05 ) .The level of inflammation factor in the observe group was significantly lower than that in the control group on the 7th and 14th day after operation(P ＜0.01 and P ＜0.05,respectively) ,whereas on the 30th day there was no significant difference between the two groups(P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The minimally invasive haematoma fluidify drainage operation can not only improve neural function,but also can reduce the product and release of inflammatory factors in the early stage of cerebral hemorrhage.It is helpful to protect the healthy cerebral tissue and other organs,therefore remarkably beneficial to the recovery and cure of cerebral hemorrhage.

Methods: To provide questionnaire made by Chen Jialin to 12 00 college studen ts from three universities in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. 1130 of them (94%) were compl e ted and fit for study standard. Results: College students' view of sex tends to be more open but still had some controversy. The difference of views on topics s uch as the purpose of sex, illegal sex and chastity between boy students and gir l students was quite significant, while the students from urban and those from c ountryside shared similar view of sex. Conclusion: Sex educatio n is still at its primary step in Chinese college students.

The authors discussed the retention and revision of the Regulations on the Handling of Medical Malpractice following the enforcement of the Tort Liability Law.These discussions also covered the amendment of the concept of medical malpractice,and the reforms to make on the medical malpractice appraisal system built upon the Regulations following the enforcement.In the meantime of applying the Law to judge cases of medical malpractice,the Regulations as an administrative regulations issued by the State Council,should be revised before playing its role in preventing medical malpractice,medical dispute handling,and penalising medical institutions and medical workers of malpractice.

Objective To observe the effects of embedding implantation of collagen and Tetramethylpyrazine in acupoints and electro-acupuncture on the expression of HSP70 in hippocampus of rat with focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion. Methods SD rats were randomly divided into normal group, sham operation group, model group, electro-acupuncture group, embedding medicine in acupoints group. Model of local ischemia was made by middle cerebral artery occlusion, preparation of implantation collagen and electro acupuncture and Tetramethylpyrazine was embedded in the acupoints of Dazhui and Neiguan two-sided. The expression of HSP-70 protein in hippocampus of different time point (24, 72, 120 h) was assayed by immunohistochemistry. Results There were only few positive cells of HSP-70 in normal group and sham operation group. The expression of HSP-70 in each therapy group were all heightened, and achieved the peak 24 h later and then declined in brain tissue after focal cerebral ischemiareperfusion, the differences were relatively prominent compared with the same phase model group (P

We found previously that water soluble extract of Liriope spicata Lour (SanMaiDong) possesses cardioprotective action. The paper reported that effects of total aminoacid ex- traded from Liriope spicata Lour (Tal) on experimental myocardial ischemia in rats. The results indicate that Tal (5 mg?kg-1 ,ip) obviously antagonized ischemic ECG changes induced by pituitrin in rats. In myocardial ischemic rats caused by isoprenaline (8 mg?kg-1) Tal 15 mg? kg-1ip significantly reduced ST and decreased CPK release and lowered the content of MDA. In a myocardial ischemic mode) induced by ligat-ing the left anterior descending coronary artery in rats, Tal 15 mg?kg-1ip remarkably decreased plasma CPK and FFA levels and was found todiminish the infarct size. The ratio of its infarct size (5. 80%) is similar to that of propranolol (5. 41%),but apparently smaller than that of ligated group (18.55%). The results suggest that Tal can protect ischemic myocardium and this action may relate to the prevention of my-ocardial lipid peroxication and improvement of myocardial metabolism.

BACKGROUND:18-Alkylated-chitosan has been proved to exhibit a good coagulation capacity through hydrophobic modification. OBJECTIVE:To improve the adhesion between the material and the wound through the introduction of alkylated-chitosan molecules. METHODS:The alkyl group was introduced in the chitosan by potentiodynamic method to prepare the alkylated-chitosan with different substitution degrees (7%,16%, 26%and 40%), and then their structure, viscosity, porosity, water absorption, contact angle and in vitro coagulation capacity were detected. Thirty New Zealand rabbits were enrol ed, modeled into the left femoral artery hemorrhage, and randomized into six groups, including four experimental groups, positive control and control groups, fol owed by treated with alkylated-chitosan sponges with different degrees of substitution, absorbable hemostatic gauze and chitosan sponge, respectively. Afterwards, the blood loss and clotting time were observed. RESULTS AND CONCLUISON:With the degree of substitution increased, the viscosity of alkylated-chitosan increased firstly and then decreased, the porosity and water absorption decreased gradual y, and the contact angle on a rise. Compared with chitosan, different alkylated-chitosans showed a better henostatic effect in vitro, especial y the alkylated-chitosan with 16%substitution degree. The blood loss and clotting time in the experimental groups except that the alkylated-chitosan with 7%substitution degree were significantly lower than those in the control group (P<0.05);the bold loss in the alkylated-chitosan with 40%substitution degree group was significantly lower than that in the positive control group (P<0.05). These findings suggest that the alkylated-chitosan with 40%substitution degree exhibits the best hemostatic effect in vivo.
