Objective To observe the effects of gypenosides(GP) on cardiac dysfunction induced by adriamycin in rats and to investigate the therapeutic mechanism.Methods Adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into 5 groups:control group,adriamycin(ADR) group,low-,moderate-and high-dose GP groups.The low-,moderate-and high-dose GP groups received GP 100,200 and 400 mg? kg-1? d-1 for five days respectively.Meanwhile,the purified water was given to rats of control group and adriamycin groups.On the sixth day,adriamycin(10 mg? kg-1) was given intraperitoneally(ip) to all the groups except the control rats.At the twenty-fourth hour after administration of adriamycin,the cardiac functions such as left ventricular systolic pressure(LVSP),maximal rates of increase and decrease of left ventricular pressure(? dp/dtmax),as well as the activities of cardiac ATPase,succinic dehydrogenase(SDH) and sarcoplasmic reticulum Ca2+-ATPase(SERCA2a) were measured.Results The impairment of heart function induced by adriamycin was relieved and the activities of cardiac ATPase,SDH and SERCA2a were obviously increased after GP treatment.Conclusion GP have protective effects on cardiac dysfunction induced by adriamycin in rats,and the mechanism may be related to the increase of activities of cardiac ATPase,SDH and SERCA2a.

Objective:To explore the relationship among procrastination behavior,meta -cognitive and emotion of university students.Methods:A total of 468 undergraduates from 4 universities were surveyed by GPS,PANAS and MCQ-30.Results:①The undergraduates from liberal arts colleges reported more procrastination behavior than those from science colleges.② Cognitive confidence,positive beliefs,uncontrollability/danger,tendency to control thoughts,and negative emotion positively correlated to procrastination behavior;cognitive self-consciousness and positively emotion negatively correlated to procrastination behavior.③ Cognitive confidence,uncontrollability/danger and negative emotion could positively predict procrastination behavior.④Negative emotion mediated the relationship between uncontrollability/danger and procrastination behavior.Conclusion:Uncontrollability and danger are a significant predicator of procrastination behavior,and negative emotion has a significant mediation effect on the relationship between uncontrollability/danger and procrastination behavior.

Clinical data of 2 children with cystic fibrosis (CF) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa infection in the Department of Pediatrics of Sichuan Provincial People′s Hospital from April 2018 to June 2019 were retrospectively analyzed.Patient 1 was an 11-year-old girl with no history of recurrent respiratory infections. Pseudomonas aeruginosa was found in the first sputum culture.A large number of yellow and white secretions were visible under repeated fiberoptic bronchoscopy.Chest CT showed multiple spots and tree-in-bud signs around the bronchi of both lungs. CFTR gene test results revealed 3 heterozygous mutations: c.2909G>A (chr7: 117246728), c.*133T>A (chr7: 117307295) and c. *125delT (chr7: 117307285). The other patient was a 7-year-old boy with a history of recurrent respiratory infections.His parents were close relatives.Multiple cultures of sputum and bronchoalveolar lavage fluid of the boy were Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and chest CT suggested dilation and inflammation in bronchi of both lungs.Gene detection showed that the c. 380T>G homozygous mutation at chromosome chr7-117171059 resulted in an amino acid change p. leu127stop (nonsense mutation). This article suggests that CF should be considered for Pseudomonas aeruginosa infected children having signs of bronchiectasis on chest CT and a large number of secretions under bronchoscopy.Besides, it is necessary for such kind of children to perform genetic testing in time to confirm the diagnosis as soon as possible.

Objective To explore the diagnostic accuracy of urine liquid-based cytology(LBC)for diagnosis of urothelial carcinoma(UC).Methods A total of 603 cases in our department from January 2005 to July 2007 were subject to urine liquid-based cytology test(LBC)and followed by histological examination.Using the histological appearance as the gold standard,the accuracy of LBC test was evaluated.Results A total of 436 cases with histological diagnoses were selected.There were 274 cases of UC and 61 cases of other malignant tumors of urinary system.The sensitivity,specificity and accuracy of urine LBC test for malignant tumors were 61.5%,86.5% and 67.1%,respectively.The positive predictive value and negative predictive value were 94.1% and 39.2%,respectively.The sensitivity of urine LBC test for UC and non-urothelial malignant tumors were 68.6% and 29.5%,respectively.The sensitivity for UC Was significantly higher than that for non-urothelial malignant tumors.The diagnostic sensitivity of urine LBC test for UC G1,G1-2;G2,G2-3 and G3 was 53.3%,74.5% and 90.6%,respectively.The diagnostic sensitivity of urine LBC was increased with the increacment of histological grade of UC.Conclusions The sensitivity of urine LBC test for high grade UC is high and has a good clinical value.However,for the diagnosis of low grade UC,the sensitivity of LBC test is low and adjuvant test is needed to improve it.

Obstructive sleep apnea-hypopnea syndrome(OSAHS) is a common sleep-related breathing disorder,which has a series of impact on the cardiovascular system.The dctection of some biochemical indicators plays an important role in predicting this kind of cardiovascular damage.The role of inflammatory predicting factors such as TNF-?,IL-6,CRP,IL-10,MMPs and ICAM-1 is reviewed in this paper.

Objective To establish and evaluate the method to collect the rat gingival crevicular fluid (GCF)by using absorbent paper points, and to lay foundation for analysis on GCF.Methods 20 healthy male rats were selected and randomly divided into GCF group and saliva group.The GCF of the right upper molar gingival trough of the rats in GCF group and the saliva of the rats in saliva group were collected by using 1 5# absorbent paper points.The SDS-PAGE analysis and abundance detection were applied to analyze the protein bands of the samples in two groups.Results The SDS-PAGE analysis identified the proteins at 77 000,66 000,55 000,51 000,and 28 000,especially 66 000 in GCF group.While saliva group had lower brightness protein bands at 66 000,60 000, and 48 000.The data of protein abundance of 66 000 between two groups had statistically significant difference (P<0.05).Conclusion The number and types of the protein bands are different between GCF Group and saliva group,so using 15# absorbent paper points can collect the rat GCF successfully.

The mainly antigenic sites for the adenovirus neutraliation are present on Loop1 and Loop2 of hexon.Majority research were focus in the human adenovirus.Little was known on infectious canine hepatitis virus (ICHV), which was also called canine adenovirus typeⅠ.Here,ICHV (the isolated strain) DNA was isolated and purified from the cultured MDCK cells.The Loop1 and Loop2 fragments were amplified by polymerase chain reaction(PCR) method,and then was connected by ligase T4.The target fragment was then connected with vector pET28a.The nucleotide sequence ecoding Loop1 and Loop2 was determined.The nucleotide sequence identity of Loop1 region between the isolated strain and CLL, RI261 and Toronto A26/61 strains is 100%, 100% and 83.8%, and the nucleotide sequence identity of Loop2 region between the isolated strain and CLL, RI261 and Toronto A26/61 strains is 88.1% , 88.1% and 99.3%, and amino acid identity is 93.6%, 93.6% and 98.6%.The recombinant Loop protein was expressed in E.coli and was approximately 36kDa in size,and then was purified. Then BALB/c mice were injected subcutaneously in the back and armpit with the recombinant Loop protein.The anti-ICHV antibody titers of immunized serum was tested by indirect ELISA and the titers were up to 1:320.Western blot demonstrated that immunized sera could specifically combine with ICHV. The research laid a foundation for creating new genetic engineering products of infectious canine hepatitis virus.
