Objective To investigate the toxicity of alpha terthienyl to the larvae of Aedes albopictus , its influencing factors and effect on the larva deve lopment. Methods Under experimental ultraviolet A (UVA),the number of dead,pupal or eclosive mosquito larvae was determined on the condition of different doses of alpha terthienyl and different disposal time in the dark;the number of dead larvae was also determined under sunlight on the condition of different doses of alpha terthienyl and different disposal time to water. Results The LC 50 of alpha terthienyl to Aedes albopictus larvae was 2.37 ?g/L under UVA. The best effect was shown when the larvae were incubated with alpha terthienyl 3 h in dark. Alpha terthienyl could significantly inhibit the larva deve lopment and the emergence of the pupae. Under strong sunlight, the larvae were quickly killed by high concentration alpha terthienyl. The 24 hours effect of alpha terthienyl was better when it was applied at 5 AM than that of at 10 AM and 1PM. Conclusion Alpha terthienyl is an effective, practicable larvicide which prohibits the growth and development of the larvae of Aedes albopictus .

Objective: To analyze the relationship between high-sensitivity C-reactive protein (hs-CRP) and P wave dispersion (Pd) in patients with lone atrial ifbrillation (AF), and to explore the effect of inlfammation on atrial electrophysiological remodeling.
Methods: Our research included 2 groups. AF group, containing 71 consecutive paroxysmal lone AF patients, and Control group, containing 71 paroxysmal supra ventricular tachycardia patients with the matched age and gender. The clinical characteristics, electrocardiographic Pd assessment and plasma hs-CRP levels were compared between 2 groups. The relationship between hs-CRP and Pd was studied by linear and multi linear regression analysis.
Results: Compared with Control group, AF group showed increased left atrial diameter, Pd and hs-CRP, all P<0.05. multilinear regression analysis indicated that hs-CRP was positively related to Pd in both groups, P<0.01. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that hs-CRP was an independent risk factor for AF occurrence (HR=15.430, 95%CI 6.031-39.476, P<0.001), with adjusted Pd, multiple logistic regression analysis presented that both Pd and hs-CRP were the independent risk factors for AF occurrence, both P<0.001, while the HR for hs-CRP predicting AF occurrence was attenuated from 15.430 to 6.246.
Conclusion: Plasma hs-CRP level and electrocardiographic Pd were the important risk factors for paroxysmal lone AF, the interaction between hs-CRP and AF occurrence could be mediated by Pd, suggesting that inlfammation might be involved in atrial electrophysiological remodeling.

Purpose To ana1yze the expression features of 5-F1uorouraci1(5-FU)metabo1ic enzyme thymidy1ate synthetase(TS),thy-midine phosphory1ase( TP),dihydropyrimidine dehydrogenase( DPD)and its re1ationship with c1inicopatho1ogica1 factors and progno-sis in co1orecta1 cancer,in order to further exp1ore its potentia1 significance in guiding co1orecta1 cancer chemotherapy. Methods Es-tab1ishment of a tissue microarray containing 72 patients with co1orecta1 cancer,and 56 norma1 tissue( dista1 cut edge tissue near carci-noma)was used to detect TS,TP,and DPD by immunohistochemistry,and to ana1yze its re1ationship with c1inicopatho1ogica1 factors and prognosis of co1orecta1 cancer through statistica1 method. Results The expression of TS in co1orecta1 cancer was 1ower than that in norma1 tissue(P=0. 876),which was associated with TNM(P=0. 043)and positive1y corre1ated with patients’overa11 surviva1(P=0. 027),the expression of TP in co1orecta1 cancer was higher than that in norma1 tissue(P=0. 315)that was associated with 1ymph node metastasis(P=0. 009)and negative1y corre1ated with the prognosis of patients(P=0. 040),DPD expression in co1orecta1 canc-er was higher than that in norma1 tissue(P=0. 071),which was re1ated to the histo1ogic type(P=0. 029). Overa11 surviva1 was sig-nificant1y shortened in co1orecta1 cancer with DPD high expression( P=0. 011). Conclusions TS,TP and DPD might be app1ied as important index of prognosis in co1orecta1 cancer patients using 5-FU adjuvant chemotherapy. The expression of TS re1ated c1ose1y with the c1inica1 stage is a bio1ogica1 marker of tumor progression. TP expression is c1ose1y re1ated to 1ymph nodes metastasis and recur-rence,which is an important factor of postoperative recurrence and metastasis.

Objective: To study the safety and efifcacy of hematoma aspiration with manual compression for treating the patients of femoral pseudoaneurysm after cardiac catheterization under ultrasound guidance. Methods: A total of 27 patients suffering from post-catheterization iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysm were analyzed including 14 male and 13 female at the mean age of (53.5±11.4) years. The body, neck and blood supply area of pseudoaneurysm were located by ultrasonography; 18 gauge needle was punctured into the center of pseudoaneurysm to aspirate blood, meanwhile the neck and body of pseudoaneurysm were manually compressed to block blood supply for relevant artery under ultrasound guidance. Manual compression was conducted for 15 min followed by bandage compression; the patients were lie on the back and kept lower extremity straight for 12 hours. Ultrasonography was performed at 24 hours and 1 month after the operation in all patients respectively. Results: There were 24/27 (88.9%) patients having successful aspiration with manual compression at ifrst time; 2 (7.4%) having incomplete occlusion at ifrst time and the success was obtained by second time; 1 having incomplete occlusion due to coexisted femoral arteriovenous ifstula, while the body of pseudoaneurysm was obviously decreased. The overall success rate was 96.3% (26/27), no procedural complication occurred. Conclusion Ultrasonography guided hematoma aspiration with manual compression has been safe and effective for treating the patients of iatrogenic femoral pseudoaneurysm.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of psychological rehabilitation on dysphagia with cognitive and psychological disorders post stroke. Methods 120 stroke patients with dysphagia complicated with cognitive and psychological disorders were divided into experimental group (n=60) and control group (n=60). Both groups received neurological routine medical treatment, swallowing function rehabilitation training, feeding training and low-frequency electrical stimulation. Cognitive and psychological therapy was additionally used in the experimental group. Both groups were assessed by Kubota DrinkingWater Test, Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE), Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD) and Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety (HAMA). Results 1 month after intervention, the score of Kubota Drinking Water Test improved significantly in both groups, and was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.001).The rate of clinical improvement was higher in the experimental group than in the control group (P<0.01). The scores of MMSE increased significantly in the experimental group (P<0.001). The scores of HAMD and HAMA decreased significantly in the experimental group (P<0.01). Only the scores of HAMA decreased in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Swallowing function rehabilitation training combined with cognitive and psychological therapy may facilitate to improve the cognitive function and psychological state and swallowing function for dysphagia with cognitive and psychological disorders post stroke.

BACKGROUND:Porous poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate)/calcium metaphosphate composite membranes prepared previously is too thick and uneven in holes.
OBJECTIVE:To prepare the thin even porous poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate)/calcium metaphosphate composite membrane, and to evaluate the cytocompatibility and differentiation capacity.
METHODS:Porous and nonporous, thin and even poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate)/calcium metaphosphate composite membranes were prepared by phase separation method. Its thickness and weight loss rate were determined. Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s were cocultured with porous and nonporous poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate)/calcium metaphosphate composite membranes for 7 days. Ultrastructure of composite membranes was observed under the scanning electron microscopy. Surface markers of the bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s on the composite membranes were analyzed using flow cytometry.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The thickness of the porous and nonporous composite membranes was (0.041 ± 0.005) mm and (0.058±0.004) mm. Weight loss rates of porous and nonporous composite membranes were respectively 19.93%and 7.64%at 24 hours. Calcium metaphosphate particles were evenly distributed in porous and nonporous composite membrane. Cel s spread entirely, showing spindle shape. Calcium metaphosphate particles were evenly distributed in porous composite membrane. Pore in porous composite membranes was also uniformly distributed, and pore size was about 2-8μm. Cel s spread entirely, showing polygonal shape with multiple tentacles. The tentacles of some cel s entered into the scaffold. CD105, CD90, CD44, CD29 and CD73 expression was detected in porous and nonporous composite membranes. There was no significant difference in cel-positive rate. Poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-4-hydroxybutyrate)/calcium metaphosphate composite membranes prepared in this study has good biocompatibility and could not promote cel differentiation.

Objective To prospectively investigate the association between serum uric acid concentration and the risk of brain infarction in Chinese adults.Methods In this prospective cohort study,a total of 95 738 participants (aged 18-98 years old) were included and were categorized into sex-specific quintiles according to serum uric acid concentration which were collected during 2006-2007 by health examinations.The study was followed up for an average of 4 years.We used Cox regression models to calculate hazard ratios (HR) and their 95％ confidence intervals (CI).Results (1) Higher concentrations of serum uric acid were associated with older age,obesity,higher blood pressure,higher serum concentrations of total cholesterol,triglycerides,and high sensitivity C-reactive protein,smoking,alcohol drinking,history of hypertension,hyperlipidemia and atrial fibrillation,and antihypertensive medication use.(2) The incidence of brain infarction for sex-specific quintiles were 0.84％ (33/3913),0.35％ (14/3985),0.44％(17/3888),0.54％ (21/3909),0.91％ (35/3860) in women (x2 =15.676,P =0.003) and 1.18％(180/15 238),1.26％ (191/15 170),1.11％ (170/15 323),1.45％ (221/15 216),1.82％ (277/15 236)in men (x2 =36.641,P =0.000).(3) After adjusting for potential confounders,including age,body mass index,blood pressure,fasting plasma glucose,total cholesterol,triglyceride,smoking,alcohol,and medical history of major chronic conditions and antihypertensive medication use,the HR (95％ CI) of brain infarction across serum uric acid quintiles were 2.06 (1.14-3.72),0.91 (0.45-1.84),1.00 (ref),1.11 (0.58-2.09),1.31(0.73-2.34) in women and 1.07 (0.86-1.34),1.02 (0.47-2.25),1.00 (ref),1.23(1.00-1.52),1.24(1.01-1.52) in men.Conclusions In this prospective cohort study,we find a U-shaped relationship between serum uric acid concentrations and brain infarction,a higher risk of developing brain infarction in association with low or high serum uric acid concentrations.Women with lowest or highest serum uric acid concentrations and men with higher serum uric acid concentrations are more likely to develop brain infarction.This probably because women have lower serum uric acid concentrations relative to men.Confirmation of our findings in larger cohorts with longer follow-up duration is warranted.
