Objective To compare the effect of low concentration versus ultra-low concentration of ropivacaine in combination with sufentanil delivered via programmed intermittent epidural bolus (PIEB) with patient-controlled epidural analgesia (PCEA) during labour on obstetric and anesthetic outcomes.Methods Seventy-six ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ nulliparous parturients who were at full term with a singleton fetus in vertex presentation were randomized to receive 0.1 ％ ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/mL sufentanil (Group L,38 cases) or 0.06％ ropivacaine with 0.5 μg/mL sufentanil (Group UL,38 cases).Another matched 76 cases of primiparas without labor analgesia (Group C) served as controls.For primiparas received analgesia,an epidural catheter was inserted when the cervical dilatation was up to 2-3 cm.The analgesia level was controlled below T8,and VAS score was controlled below 4.Thirty minutes after analgesia started,Group L and UL received PIEB with PCEA regimen including basal infusion of 8 mL/h of ropivacaine with sufentanil,patient-controlled bolus 6 mL and lockout interval 10 minutes.The duration of labor,delivery mode,Apgar score,VAS score and anesthetic drug consumption of each group were recorded.Results The second stage of labor were not statistically different between Group UL and C.The second stage of Group L was longer than that of Group C (P＜0.05).Furthermore,with similar performance in pain score and satisfactory level at each time point,Group UL consumed much less ropivacaine than Group L (P＜0.05).The cesarean section rate,instrumental delivery rate and the Apgar score were not significantly different among the 3 groups.Conclusions While using PIEB with PCEA,0.06％ ropivacaine was capable of providing satisfactory analgesia effects for primipara and has less effects on the obstetric outcome.Therefore,it could be recommended for labour analgesia.

BACKGROUND:Activating transcription factor 4 is found as an activating factor that can regulate osteogenic differentiation and function, and plays a critical role in the osteogenic differentiation.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the expression and significance of activating transcription factor 4 in the osteogenic differentiation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from Sprague-Dawley rats.
METHODS:Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells from Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured using the whole bone marrow adherence method, and ossification revulsant was added to induce passage 3 cells. cells with no osteogenic induction served as controls. RT-PCR and western blot assay were employed to dynamical y monitor expression of activating transcription factor 4.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:RT-PCR results showed that activating transcription factor 4 mRNA expression increased with the increasing osteogenic differentiation, and peaked at day 16. Western blot analysis showed that the protein expression of activating transcription factor 4 tended to increase with the increasing osteogenic differentiation, peaked at day 16 and stil maintained at a higher level at day 19. Compared with the uninduced cells, activating transcription factor 4 in the induced cells exhibited a higher expression at mRNA and protein levels (P<0.05). These findings indicate that activating transcription factor 4 expression is elevated during osteogenic differentiation, showing a positive correlation with osteogenic ability of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells.

Background The suppression of retinal angiogenesis is one of primary treatment targets for retinal vascular diseases,so seeking the intervention targets of retinal neovascularization is a hot research.Studies showed that insulin-like growth factor 1 (IGF-1) can promote the growth and restrain the apoptosis of vascular endothelial cells.However,whether IGF-1 is an intervention target for the treatment of retinal vascular diseases is unelucidated.Objective This study was to address the effects of IGF-1 on the migration,apoptosis and capillary tube formation of human retinal vascular endothelial cells (HRECs) and mechanism.Methods HRECs were cultured in vitro,and the cells in the exponential phase were prepared for subsequent experiments.The expression of IGF-1R mRNA in the cells was examined using reverse transcriptase PCR assay.Different concentrations of IGF-1 were added in the medium based on the difference of tests.The relative free-cell area difference (△S) after test was measured by Photoshop CS4 software and compared among 0,10 and 200 ng/ml IGF-1 groups 12 and 24 hours after cell scratching,respectively.The cell apoptotic rate was assayed by flow cytometry and compared between 0 ng/ml IGF-1 group and 1 000 ng/ml IGF-1 group,and the number of capillary tubes was examined by Matrigel test and assessed among 0,10,100 and 200 ng/ml IGF-1 groups 24 hours after addition of IGF-1.The expressions of platelet derived growth factor (PDGF)-BB mRNA and caspase-3 mRNA in the cells of the 0,500 and 1 000 ng/ml IGF-1 groups were detected by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR after adding IGF-1 for 6 hours.Results Cultured cells grew well and attached 90％ confluence 2-3 days after incubation,and IGF-1R mRNA was positively expressed in the cells.In 12 and 24 hours after scratching,the relative migrating area of the cells was gradually reduced with the increase of IGF-1 contents.The △S was (4.83 ± 0.61) × 105 μm2 in the 200 ng/ml IGF-1 group,which was significantly larger than (3.28±0.64) ×105 μm2 in the 0 ng/ml IGF-1 group 24 hours after stretching (t=-3.707,P=0.021).The apoptotic rate in the 0 ng/ml IGF-1 group and 1 000 ng/ml IGF-1 group was (18.77±2.37) ％ and (12.05 ±0.88) ％,with a significant difference between them (t =2.869,P =0.046).The number of intact tubes was significantly increased in the 200 ng/ml IGF-1 group compared with the 0 ng/ml IGF-1 group ([20.33±2.83]/well vs.[17.94± 1.96]/well;t =-2.940,P =0.042).Compared with 0 ng/ml IGF-1 group,the relative expression level of PDGF-BB mRNA was elevated and that caspase-3 mRNA was evidently reduced in the 1 000 ng/ml IGF-1 group (t=-3.489,P =0.025;t =7.287,P =0.002).Conclusions IGF-1 can promote the migration and angiogenesis of HRECs and inhibit the apoptosis of HRECs.These effects of IGF-1 probably are associated with the up-regulation of PDGF-BB and down-regulation of caspase-3 in the cells.

Objective To study the effects of NRG2 on cardiac structure and function , we established the cardiac-specific human NRG2 transgenic mice and investigate the effect of NRG2 on cardiac structure and function under pressure overload situation .Methods The transgenic vector was constructed by insertion of the human NRG2 gene under the α-MHC promoter.The transgenic mice were generated by microinjection and were all maintained on a C57BL/6J genetic background .The genotype of transgenic mice was identified by PCR and the expression level of target gene was determined by western blot .Transverse aortic constriction ( TAC) was applied to prepare the pressure overload induced cardiomyopathy mice model .The cardiac structure and function of the transgenic mice were compared and analysized by echocardiographic and pathological observation .Results Transgenic mice with high level of NRG2 in heart tissues were established.The left ventricular wall thickness (LVPWD) was increased, and to 15.6% at 3 months old compared with that of the non transgenic ( NTG) mice.The hypertrophy of left ventricular wall caused by pressure overload was removed due to the expression of NRG2 .Meanwhile, cardiac disarray and fibrosis were increased obviously compared with that of the NTG mice.Conclusion The transgenic expression of NRG2 in heart tissues could shorten the pathological process of hypertrophy, but accelerated the process of heart failure (HF).

Objective To investigate thecorrelation between nonmusle myosin heavy chain 9 gene (MYH9) rs12107,signal transducer and activator of transcription (STAT4) rs3024912, Urokinase plasminogen activator (uPA) rs4065 single nucleotide polymorphism and idiopathic Uighur membranous nephropathy (IMN). Methods Patients admittedby People′s Hospital of Xinjiang Uyghur Autonomous Region from June 2011 to May 2015 were selected in the research,of which 45 with IMN (group A),45 patients with IgA nephropathy (group B) and 45 healthy controls(group C). The polymorphisms of rs12107,rs3024912 and rs4065 were measured with direct sequencing, in order to analyzing the correlation between genotype and allele with IMN. Results Group Ars12107 (MYH9) locus genotype CC, C allele (48.9%, 65.6%) frequency were higher than those in group B (13.3%, 33.3%) and group C (20.0%, 46.7%), and the difference was statistically significance (P < 0.05). C allele carriers of the risk of IMN is 2.18 times that of the T allele (95% CI: 1.19-3.97). Univariate Logistic regression analysis of rs12107 CC genotype showed patients with CC genotype faced with high risk of renal failure (OR = 5.56,95% CI:1.27-24.29, P = 0.023) compared with non-CC genotype patients. rs3024912 genotype and allele frequencies showed no significant difference among the three groups (P > 0.05). rs3024912 GG genotype patients showed higher risk of renal failure compared with non-GG genotype patients (95% CI:1.48-26.83, P = 0.013). Only TT genotype was detected on rs4065 locus. TC and CC genotype were not detected. Conclusions MYH9 gene rs12107 locus CC genotype and C allele are associated with susceptibility to IMN in Xinjiang Uygur, and CC genotypes associated with renal function. rs3024912 (STAT4)GG genotype are not susceptibility gene,but associated with renal function in patients with IMN.

The means of survival of genomic dsRNA of reoviruses from dsRNA-triggered and Dicer-initiated RNAi pathway remains to be defined.The present study aimed to investigate the effect of Grass carp reovirus (GCRV) replication on the RNAi pathway of grass carp kidney cells (CIK).The dsRNA-triggered RNAi pathway was demonstrated unimpaired in CIK cells through RNAi assay.GCRV-specific siRNA was generated in CIK cells transfected with purified GCRV genomic dsRNA in Northern blot analysis; while in GCRV-infected CIK cells,no GCRV-specific siRNA could be detected.Infection and transfection experiments further indicated that replication of GCRV correlated with the increased transcription level of the Dicer gene and functional inhibition of in vitro synthesized egfp-siRNA in silencing the EGFP reporter gene.These data demonstrated that although only the genomic dsRNA of GCRV was sensitive to the cellular RNAi pathway,unidentified RNAi suppressor protein(s) might contribute to the survival of the viral genome and efficient viral replication.

PurposeTo evaluate left ventricular function in patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM) by using three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3D-STI).Materials and Methods Twenty-eight patients with non-obstructive hypertrophic cardiomyopathy (HCM group) and 30 healthy volunteers (control group) underwent both conventional two-dimensional echocardiography and 3D-STI. Indexes of conventional echocardiography including interventricular septal thickness (IVST), left ventricular posterior wall at end-diastolic thickness (LVPWT), left ventricular diameter, left ventricular volume, end-systolic left ventricular volume, peak velocity of early diastolic mitral valve, peak diastolic of late diastolic mitral valve, outflow tract frequency spectrum of the aortic valve and left ventricular were compared between the two groups to get the pressure difference and velocity time integral of the left ventricular outflow tract. Early and late diastolic peak velocity of mitral annular were calculated and E/A, Ea/Aa, E/Ea were also obtained. 3D-STI indicators including three-dimensional left ventricular ejection fraction (3D-LVEF), sphericity index (SPI) and global area of strain (GAS), global longitudinal train (GLS), global circumferential strain (GCS), global radial strain (GRS) were also compared.Results In HCM group, IVST, LVPWT and E/Ea increased (P<0.01), Ea/Aa and E/A decreased significantly (P<0.01), LVOT-PG and LVOT-VTI increased significantly (P<0.05 orP<0.01). GCS, GAS, GLS and GRS were significant lower in HCM group than those in control group (P<0.01). Local strain values at the level of papillary muscle and apex were decreased, which were significantly decreased at ventricular septum, anterior wall and inferior wall.Conclusion HCM patients have various degree of decreased myocardial contractility. The real time 3D-STI offers a novel way to assess the left ventricular function of patients with HCM.

To get information in the sexual and contraceptive behaviors in Chinese female college students, a randomized cluster sampling was conducted in colleges and universities in Wuhan Area, China, in terms of types of colleges, subjects (literature, sciences, medicines, art etc), and grades etc. A total number of 2450 questionnaires were distributed, with 2365 questionnaires returned being valid. The return rate of valid questionnaires was 96.6%. The questionnaire investigation was conducted on a multiple-choice and anonymous basis. Data were input into computer and SPSS12.0 software package was employed for statistical analysis. Among the female students, 1196 had the experiences of hugging and kissing (50.57%) and 423 (17.89%) had sexual experiences (sexual intercourse). The first sexual intercourse took place at the age of 19.23+/-1.74 y. There were significant differences in the sexual experiences among the majors of different subjects, with the rate of sexual experiences in art majors (43.17%) and high-grade students (34.31%) being the highest. The causes of the first sexual intercourse included sexual impulse, curiosity, intention to strengthen the relationship or to show loyalty to boyfriend and sometimes violence. While the motives of the sexual intercourse within the past one year before the investigation were to satisfy the sexual needs and to strengthen the relation with their boyfriends. With both first intercourse and sexual experiences within last one year, the partners of the sexual intercourse were mainly their boyfriends (95.7% and 97.3% respectively), but the partners also included acquaintances, "one night stand" partners and customers of sex trade. Some of them had multiple sexual partners, with the highest number of the sexual partners being 11. In the first sexual intercourse of the subjects, 44.0 % of them did not take any contraceptive measures; only 16.4% of them used condoms. In the sexual intercourse within the last one year, only 44.6% took contraceptive measures every time they had sexual intercourse. Among those who took contraceptive measures, 64.4% used condoms. Among those who had sexual intercourse, 101 persons got pregnant, with a rate of pregnancy being 4.3%, accounting for 23.9% of all who had sexual intercourse. Among those who got pregnant, 78 persons got pregnant once; the others became pregnant more than two times, the highest being 5 times. There were 122 persons who had inflammation of reproductive system, mostly vaginitis. Other conditions included venereal warts and herpes genitalis. It is concluded that the rate of sexual behaviors is high in female college students and there exist promiscuity, unexpected pregnancy and transmission of STD in the students.
