Objective To investigate the long-term excessive drinking semen nitric oxide (NO) content in their sperm quality and spermatogenic cell apoptosis and infertility. Methods Nitrate reductase method was used to specific reduce the NO metabolites nitrate (NO3-) to nitrite (NO2-), which was used on behalf of the total NO level. Terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase (TdT) and mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) method and binocular optical microscope were used to detect and observe the rate of apoptosis of spermatogenic cells and the morphological structure. The SQA-V sperm quality automatic analyzer was used to measure sperm quality. Results In not drinking semen fertility group, NO content was (54.81±11.45)μmol / L, the rate of spermatogenic cell apoptosis was (4.52±1.23)%, sperm motility was (80.24±0.17)%, energy a+b (78.32±0.12)%, deformity rate (5.30±0.13)%, and long-term excessive alcohol infertility C group was [(128.83±22.73)μmol/L,(17.34±2.53)%,(51.18±0.58)%,(21.45±0.26)%,(21.12±3.24)%] respectively. Compared to a very significant difference (t＝10.04,17.38,6.69,15.59,17.02,P＜0.01) . In long-term excessive drinking group, the levels of NO and spermatogenesis cell apoptosis rate was significantly positive correlated (r＝0.93,P＜0.01).Apoptosis of spermatogenic cell nucleus chromatin was condensed in the formation of crescent-shaped perinuclear, nuclear was cleavaged to form apoptotic bodies. Conclusions In the long-term excessive drinking semen, NO content and spermatogenic cell apoptosis rate was increased, the sperm had poor quality. The results showed that the long-term excessive drinking can cause germ cell apoptosis in male infertility and promote the body to overproduce NO, whichmay be one of the reasons for male infertility.

Objective The aim of the study was to detect the mutation of Fms-like tyrosine kinase 3 internal tandem duplication (FLT3-1TD) rate in older de novo acute myeloid leukemia (AML) patients, to evaluate the role of FLT3-ITD in AML and its clinical significance. Methods The mutations of FLT3-1TD in bone marrow mononuelear cells (MNCS) from 30 cases of older AML were screened by polymerase chain reaction denaturing-high performance liquid chromatography (PCR-DHPLC). Results FLT3-1TD mutations were identified in 26.67 %(8/30) patients, while there were no mutations identified in control cases. And these kinds of mutations were likely to attend in M3 types. All mutations of FLT3-ITD were heterozygous and rearrangement fragment located in reading frame. Different karyomite groups had different FLT3-ITDmutations rate. We could see that FLT3-ITD positive patients were more prevalent in patients with normal karyotype. Clinical researches indicated that FLT3-ITD mutations had the characteristics of a higher peripheral white cell count, higher blast cells and lower complete remission rate in older AMKA Conclusion FLT3-ITD positive older AML patients conferred a poor prognosis and were likely to attend in normal karyomite group. The detection of FLT3-ITD mutations could make up for the deficiency of cytogenetics to some extent, and may become a routine examination of AML in older, which can direct their treatment and predict their prognosis.

Background The evaluation of visual function after laser in situ keratomileusis(LASIK) mainly focuses on the study of contrast sensitivity funetion (CSF).However,CSF measurement is a subjective method and therefore has a limiting in application.A point spread function (PSF) is becoming a study topic because of its objectivity in assessing visual quality.Objective Present study was to evaluate the change of the modulation transfer function (MTF) of eyes and compare the optical and visual quality of human eyes after LASIK.Methods Thirty-six patients(72 eyes) were included in this study.The patients were divided into low myopia(-2.72±0.52 D),moderate myopia (-4.89+0.80 D) and high myopia (-8.00+0.98 D) groups according to the spherical equivalent (SE)diopter before the sugery.The uncorrected visual acuity (UCVA),best corrected visual acuity (BCVA) were examined before and after operation,and PSF data was obtained with Topoeon PSF-1000 analyzer under the 3.0 mm and 6.0 mm pupil size conditions.The follow-up visits of the patients were scheduled at the 7th days,1 st and 3rd months.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient before this study. ResuIts The MTF values among the three refractive groups were significantly different between 3 mm and 6 mm pupil preoperatively (P＜0.05).Under the condition of 3 mm pupil size,the MTF values in the spatial frequencies of 2.98 cpd and 14.88 cpd were significantly declined in different time points after operation in comparison with preoperative ones (P＜0.05).However,the MTF changes had no statistical significance in the spatial frequencies from 18.85-37.70 cpd among various time points(P＞0.05).Under the condition of the 6 mm pupil size,MTF values in low and moderate myopia groups were reduced after operation in comparison with before operation at the spatial frequencies from 2.98-7.44 cpd(P＜0.05),however,there were no obvious difference was found in the spatial frequencies of 9.42-37.70 cpd(P＞0.05).The MTF values of high myopia group was decreased significantly at all spatial frequencies(P＜0.05).The MTF values improved gradually as the prolong of time after operation but was still lower at the 3rd postoperative month than that of preoperation. Conclusion The postoperative visual quality is associated with refractive power and pupil diameter.PSF is a feasible method in assessing the early visual quality after LASIK.

To investigate the antitumor mechanism of artemisninin, a flexible docking analysis was used to score all kinds of functions of 11 Qinghaosu derivatives and transferrin with different resolutions. The distances of Asp-63, Tyr-188, His-249, Arg-124 and Lys-296 with Qinghaosu were less than 0.5 nm, separately. Meanwhile, the higher is the activity of Qinghaosu derivatives the higher is the score. Our model explains that Fe2+ is more feasible to react with Qinghaosu, and not involved in other metabolism in presence of transferrin. Docking results unveil that Iron(II)-transferrin increased the cytotoxicity of Qinghaosu derivatives and provide a rational basis for further design and synthesis of novel Qinghaosu derivatives.

Objective To investigate the clinical application value of the levels of heparin-binding protein (HBP) in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) for intracranial infectious diseases. Methods A case-control study was conducted. 150 patients after craniotomy(73 in the postoperative bacterial intracranial infection group, 77 in the postoperative non-infection group) admitted to the Department of Neurology of the People's Hospital of Liaoning Province from December 2016 to May 2018 were collected. At the same time, 46 patients without operation (14 in the non-bacterial intracranial infection group, 32 patients without intracranial infection were selected as control group whose white blood cell count (WBC) values in CSF were all below 10 × 106/L) in the same period were also collected. According to the diagnostic criteria for severe intracranial infection, the patients with bacterial intracranial infection were divided into 26 cases of mild intracranial infection group and 47 cases of severe intracranial infection group. According to the Glasgow Outcome Scale (GOS) score at the time of discharge, the patients were divided into 30 cases of good prognosis group (GOS score 4-5 points) and 43 cases of poor prognosis group (GOS score 1-3 points). The concentrations of HBP in CSF were tested with latex immunoturbidimetry, and the concentrations of procalcitonin(PCT) in cerebrospinal fluid and serum were tested with electrochemiluminescence, and cerebrospinal fluid routine were tested with instrument method, and the concentrations of total protein(TP) in cerebrospinal fluid were tested with turbidimetry. The differences of the laboratory test indicators in each group were statistically analyzed, and the levels of HBP in CSF of patients with different degrees of intracranial infection and different prognosis were compared. Comparison of two independent samples was performed using the Mann-Whitney U test. Results The HBP levels in cerebrospinal fluid were 187.00 (73.00, 635.00) ng/ml, 10.00 (3.50, 32.00) ng/ml, 1.50 (0, 4.00) ng/ml, 3.00 (1.00, 4.00) ng/ml in post-craniotomy bacterial intracranial infection group, uninfected group after craniotomy, non-bacterial intracranial infection group and control group respectively. The cerebrospinal fluid levels of WBC count were 1280.00 (363.00, 4327.00)×106/L, 63.00 (18.50, 300.00)×106/L, 5.00 (3.00, 14.75)×106/L, 3.00 (2.00, 5.75)×106/L. The absolute value of cerebrospinal fluid neutrophils were 1216.00 (225.50, 3895.50)×106/L, 24.00 (2.00, 209.50)×106/L, 1.00 (1.00, 3.00)×106/L, 1.00 (1.00, 1.00)×106/L. The cerebrospinal fluid levels of PCT were 0.16 (0.10, 0.32) ng/ml, 0.09 (0.07, 0.14) ng/ml, 0.07 (0.06, 0.12) ng/ml, 0.07 (0.06, 0.13) ng/ml. The serum levels of PCT were 0.36 (0.15, 1.09) ng/ml, 0.09 (0.04, 0.16) ng/ml, 0.08 (0.04, 0.13) ng/ml, 0.07 (0.03, 0.11) ng/ml. The levels of HBP, WBC, neutrophils, PCT in CSF and serum PCT in the post-craniotomy bacterial intracranial infection group were significantly higher than those in the uninfected group after craniotomy (Z=-9.246,-6.759,-6.741,-4.477,-6.202, P<0.05), non-bacterial intracranial infection group(Z=-5.840,-5.412,-5.259,-2.923,-5.104,P<0.05) and the control group (Z=-7.905,-7.919,-7.335,-4.397,-5.474, P<0.05). There were significant differences in the levels of HBP, WBC and neutrophils in CSF(Z=-3.763,-3.444,-3.041,P<0.05) and no significant differences in CSF and serum PCT (Z=- 0.869, - 1.850, P>0.05)between the uninfected group after craniotomy and the non-bacterial intracranial infection group. There were significant differences in the levels of HBP, WBC and neutrophils in CSF(Z=-4.496,-6.685,-4.842,P<0.05) and no significant differences in CSF and serum PCT(Z=-0.676,-1.303, P>0.05)between the uninfected group after craniotomy and the control group. There were no significant differences in the levels of HBP, PCT in CSF and serum PCT (Z=-0.861,-0.514,-0.273, P>0.05)and significant differences in the levels of WBC and neutrophils in CSF(Z=-2.756,-3.060, P<0.05) between the non-bacterial intracranial infection group and the control group. The levels of HBP in CSF in the severe intracranial infection group were significantly higher than those in the mild intracranial infection group(Z=-6.267, P<0.05). The levels of HBP in CSF in the poor prognosis group were significantly higher than those in the good prognosis group(Z=-7.064, P<0.05). The area under the ROC curve for the diagnosis of bacterial intracranial infection by HBP, WBC, neutrophils, TP, PCT in CSF and PCT in serum was 0.986, 0.987, 0.945, 0.945, 0.770 and 0.914, respectively. The area under the ROC curve for differential diagnosis of bacterial intracranial infection and non-bacterial intracranial infection was 0.994, 0.958, 0.961, 0.929, 0.747 and 0.936, respectively. Conclusions HBP in CSF is an ideal indicator for the diagnosis of bacterial intracranial infection. It is important to distinguish between bacterial intracranial infection and non-bacterial intracranial infection. The extent of increase is related to the severity of infection and prognosis of the disease.
