Objective To investigate the role of H3K27me3 demethylase Jmjd3(KDM6B) during the development of lung in embryonal mice .Methods Jmjd3 knockout embryos of E 19.5 mice were examined by HE , PAS and immnohistochemistry assays .Results The developmental defects of the lung of Jmjd 3 heterozygous ( Jmjd3 +/-) embryos were mild is compared to Jmjd3 +/+embryos.However, Jmjd3 -/-mice suffered from the severe hypoplasia of lung tissue .Differentiated defects of ciliated cell , Clara cell , type Ⅰ and Ⅱ alveolar epithelial cells were ob-served in Jmjd3 -/-embryos.The index of cell proliferation was increased in Jmjd3 -/-embryos as compared to wildtype and Jmjd3 +/- embryos.No difference in apoptosis profile was found in these embryos .Conclusions Jmjd3 is essential for proliferation and differentiation of embryonal lung epithelia of mice .

Extranodal NK/T cell lymphoma is a kind of disease that is associated with EB virus infection and characterized by progressive distruction and necrosis of the nasal cavity and midline facial tissues, with histological features of diffuse lymphomatous cells inflitrate and inflammatory cells as abackground or angiocentric and angioinvasive inflitrate.The prognosis is poor,as it is highly aggressive and it can progress rapidly.This article mainly discusses and reviews the progress in treatment methods.

The influence of Rosa davurica pall juice on pulmonary adenoma induced by urethan was observed in the experiment, which lasted for 20 weeks. 250 mice were divided into 4 groups at random. Group A was set as control receiving basal diet and tap water only. Another 3 groups were given basal diet, however, group B was given Rosa davurica pall juice 0.2ml/20g boody weight once a week, group C 0.1% urethan solution for drinking freely and group D 0.1% urethan solution plus the juice. The mouss body weight was weighed once a week; the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-Px), the level of lipoperoxides (LPO), lymphocyte transformation and hemolysin were determined once a month, the pulmonary pathological examination was made also once a month. The obtained data were carried out with a 2?2 factorial analysis. The result were as follows:(1)the incidence of pulmonary adenoma of group C(100%) was significantly higher than that of group D (69%) at the e-nd of experiment (P

Rickettsia felis is a Gram-negative prokaryotic organism that is obligatorically parasitic in cells. Cat fleas are the main vector of Rickettsia felis. Clinical symptoms of human infection with Rickettsia felis include fever, fatigue, headache, macular papules, and eschar. There are few reports of serious complications or deaths due to infection of Rickettsia felis. A confirmed case of severe encephalitis caused by Rickettsia felis infection was admitted to neurology department of Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical University on January 29, 2020. After comprehensive treatment of antiviral by acyclovir, mannitol dehydration to reduce intracranial pressure, human immunoglobulin to regulateimmunity, minocycline hydrochloride capsule, levofloxacin mesylate and sodium chloride against Rickettsia felis infection, control of seizure and pulmonary infection, the patient's condition was improved and then discharged. By summarizing the experience and lessons in the treatment of this patient, we hope to remind everyone to strengthen the understanding of Rickettsia felis infection.

We developed a three-dimensional finite element model of the shoulder glenohumeral joint after shoulder arthroplasty including humerus shaft, scapular, scapular cartilage and eight muscles, while each of the muscles was simulated with 50 spring elements. To reduce the element number and improve the analytical precision, we used mixed tetrahedral and hexahedral elements in the model. We then used the model to calculate the biomechanics of the shoulder glenohumeral joint after hemiarthroplasty during humeral external rotation. Results showed that the maximum joint reaction force was 374.72 N and the maximum contact stress was 6. 573 MPa together with the contact areas at 40 degrees external rotation. These might be one of the reasons for prosthetic disarticulation, and would provide theoretical bases to prosthetic design.

The prevalence of diabetes mellitus and its relative risk factors in adolescents were investigated in Hanjiang district, Yangzhou. A total of 2 153 adolescents aged from 16 to 18 years old from 7 high schools were enrolled. The prevalence of diabetes mellitus and impaired fasting glucose was 6.13% and 16.12%, respectively. The independent risk factors are obesity or overweight.

BACKGROUND:Compared with smooth titanium, titania nanotubes cannot only induce mesenchymal stem cels osteogenic differentiation and promote bone integration, but also be used as drug nanocarriers. OBJECTIVE:To prepare dexamethasone-loaded titania nanotube system and to test its drug release characteristics. METHODS:Titania nanotubes were prepared by electrochemical anodic oxidation, and dexamethasone was dripped onto the prepared titania nanotubes. Subsequently layer by layer self-assembly technology was employed to fabricate gelatin/chitosan multilayered structure on the prepared samples. Scanning electron microscope and contact angle test were carried out during the process of building the gelatin/chitosan multilayered structure. The drug release was measured by a ultraviolet spectrophotometer. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the scanning electron microscopy, the fabricated titania nanotubes had integral structure with even tube size of about 70 nm and arranged regularly, and the nanotubes were completely covered and sealed by the gelatin/chitosan multilayered membrane. Contact angle test results showed that ever since the fifth layer, contact angles changed alternately and displayed a zigzag profile. Ultraviolet spectrophotometer test results showed that when cultured for 3 hours, the cumulative drug release was about 32.7% and demonstrated an initial burst folowed by sustained release. When cultured for 24 hours, the cumulative drug release about 52.3%. However, after cultured for 7 days, little drug release was detected. And there was about 8.0%-10.0% dexamethasone of initial loading preserved in nanotubes.

Objective To study the influences of the length of sexual abstinence on sperm parameters and seminal plasma biochemical indicator.Methods Sperm concentration and motility were detected by computer assisted sperm analysis(CASA).The sperm morphology was analyzed using semiautomatic sperm morphology analyzer.Seminal plasma fructose concentration,neutral a-glycosidase,zinc,and acid phosphates concentration were measured by spectrophotometer.Improved DTNB was conducted for detection of the content of seminal plasma novain.Prostatespecific antigen(PSA)was measured with commercial kit.Three groups were defined according to the days of sexual abstinence:G1(1-3 days),G2(4-5 days)and G3(＞6 days).Results Sperm concentration of G2 was significantly higher than that of G1(P＜0.01),and of G3 than that of G1 and G2(P＜0.01).Sperm motility and per centage of morphologically normal sperm of G3 were significantly lower than that of G1(P＜0.01).Seminal plasma fructose concentration of G3 was significantly lower than that of G1 and G2(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Seminal plasma neutral a-glycosidase,carnutine,zinc concentration of G3 was significantly higher than that of G1 and G2(P＜0.01,P＜0.05).Conclusion The length of sexual abstinence can influence sperm parameters and seminal plasma biochemical indicator.
