Objective To evaluate the effect of alginate polysaccharide JM on rats impaired by brain ischemia,and to elucidate its mechanisms.Methods By using the middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) induced by nylon surgical thread inserted through the internal carotid artery into the anterior cerebral artery in rats,the effects of JM on neurological dysfunction and infarct volumn in rats brain were investigated.Neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells were employed to study the inhibitory effects of JM on cytotoxicity induced by hypoxia-hypoglycemia.Results JM at the doses of 12.5 and 25 mg?kg-1,iv,30 min before ischemia impressed neurological dysfunction,characterized by the decreased behavioral obstacle scores of MCAO rats.The infarct volumn declined 24h after ischemia as well.Further investigation by flow cytometry revealed that JM significantly reduces the overloading of intracellular free calcium on and suppresses apoptosis induced by hypoxia-hypoglycemia in human neuroblastoma SH-SY5Y cells.Conclusion JM showed protective effects on brain ischemia,probably related to its inhibitory effect on the overloading of intracellular free calcium ion(\i) and cell apoptosis.

Objective:To study the changes of endothelin-1(ET-1) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in Kawasaki disease (KD) and to probe the relationship between the changes of ET-1, MDA and coronary artery pathological changes. Methods: KD group included 42 patients ( male 25, female 17), with a mean age of (3.25?0.75) years old; control group included 30 normal children (male 19, female 11), with a mean age of (3.58?0.55) years old. Serum contents of ET-1 and MDA were measured by radioimmunology and modified thiabarbituricaid(TBA) method in 2 groups, and the inner diameters of coronary artery and aorta were measured by color echocardiography. KD group was subdivided into dilated-coronary artery group and undilated group for comparison.Results: Serum contents of ET-1 and MDA in KD group were apparently higher than those in control group (-[76.63?18.36-] vs -[41.55?16.68-] pg/ml and -[3.18?0.60-] vs -[1.52?0.24-] ?mol/L,respectively;P

It is well known that oligosaccharides in glycoproteins and glycolipids play crucial roles in a variety of cellular functions, such as proliferation, differentiation, and intercellular communications. The oligosaccharides of cell are increasingly being recognized as one of the most prominent biochemical alterations associated with malignant transformation and tumorigenesis. Glycosylations in different cell cycle and cell growth periods are significantly distinct, and these differences affect the cell cycle progression. In the past decades, along with the advances in genomics and proteomics, the functional significance of cancer-associated changes in glycosylation has been revealed. Eukaryotic organisms depend on an intricate and evolutionary conserved cell cycle to control cell devision. Mistakes in cell cycle process lead to cancer. This review highlights the relations between cell cycle and glycosylation changes in cancer cells.

Six cases of suicidal sedative-soporific drug poisoning is reported.The main clinical features were coma,respiratory depression,hypotension,disappearance of reflexes and peripherel circulatory failure.Thepathological fingdings were as follows:pulmonary congestion and edema;fatty degeneration of the liver;degeneration of the epithalial cells of the proximal convoluted tubules and cerebral edema.The severityof the pathological changes depend upon the duration between the drug administration and the time of deathThe longer the course,the more prominent the changes.The fatality rate related with the dose of drugadministration,the underlying deseases and the complications.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the differences in the condylar position of subjects with skeletal class I and skeletal class II. To provide a basis of diagnosis and treatment.
METHODSGroup A was composed of 50 subjects with skeletal class I (27 males and 26 females; age range = 18 years to 30 years; mean age=26 years). Group B comprised 50 subjects with skeletal class II (24 males and 26 females; age range = 18 years to 28 years; mean age=25 years). The condylar position and the shapes of the condyle and the glenoid fossa were linearly measured on the sagittal and coronal sections by cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT). Data were analyzed by SPSS 19.0.
RESULTSNo statistically significant differences were found in the measurements of the condylar position between the sides of each group on the sagittal plane and the coronal plane (P > 0.05). There were significant differences on the anterior space and the posterior space between group A and B (P < 0.05). The A/P joint space ratio of group A was larger than that of group B (P < 0.05).
CONCLUSIONThe subjects of skeletal class I show an anterior condyle position. The subjects of skeletal class II show a posterior condyle position.

Objective To explore the deep venous thrombosis risk assessment table application in the evaluation of patients with respiratory diseases of deep venous thrombosis. Methods Caprini risk score model and Padua score prediction based on the related literature and respiratory diseases in reference to the characteristics of deep venous thrombosis risk factors for deep vein thrombosis, risk assessment table. And in January 2015 October 155 cases of hospitalized patients were evaluated using this table, and all patients underwent lower limb ultrasonography. Results The results showed the risk and the population under ultrasound in 60 cases (score=2 points) thrombosis probability is 0%, 95 cases of high risk population and above (score more than 3 cent) thrombosis probability is 25.26%. There were significant differences between the two groups (χ2=17.94, all P<0.05). Conclusion The application ofnon operative patients with deep venous thrombosis risk assessment table can be a good screening of high-risk patients with thrombosis. For thrombosis in high-risk groups to physical intervention, so as to reduce the incidence of deep venous thrombosis.
