Objective:To determine the curative effect of Ginkgo Biloba extract on the back chapped skin in SD rats. Methods:Totally 60 SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups with 10 rats in each. One group was the blank control group, while the other five groups with the same back chapped skin were respectively treated with different therapy regimen, namely one group was the model group without any treatment, one group was urea group treated with the commercially available urea, and the last three groups were re-spectively treated with Ginkgo Biloba extract at the dose of 5%, 1% and 0. 2%. The pathological tissue was observed after HE stai-ning, and the content of hydroxyproline ( Hyp) in skin was determined by alkaline hydrolysis. Results:The skin lesion and the score of pathological section were studied and the content of Hyp in the damaged skin was determined. The comprehensive score for the groups was 0, 13. 2, 7. 4, 11. 0, 5. 8 and 6. 6, respectively, and the content of Hyp was (4. 57 ± 0. 07), (2. 41 ± 0. 27), (3. 29 ± 0.57), (2.55 ±0.31), (3.24 ±0.26) and (3.37 ±0.24) μg·mg-1,respectively. There was significant difference in the curative effect between the Ginkgo Biloba extract groups at high dose (5%) and medium dose (1%) and the model group (P<0. 05), which showed no obvious difference when compared with the urea group (P>0. 05). Conclusion:The extract of Ginkgo Biloba has a certain effect on the back chapped skin in SD rats, which may contribute to the external preparations of Ginkgo Biloba extract.

Objective To discuss the relationship among Big Five-Personality, Resilience and General Health of the new recruits in a certain troop. Methods 205 new recruits completed the questionnaires, which include NEO Five-Factor Inventory ( NEO-FFI) , Connor-Davidso Resilience Meter (Chinese version) , and General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-12). Results The neuroticism trait of personality positively correlated to General Health( r = 0.50, P<0.001) and significantly predicted mental disease (β =0.4, P<0.01). The self-strengthening dimension of resilience was negatively related to general health ( r = - 0. 51 , P<0. 01 ). Furthermore, self-strengthening played partial mediating role between neuroticism and general health ( Sobel Z =2. 92, P<0. 01). Conclusion The neuroticism trait of personality is a risk factor for new recruits'mental health, while self-strengthening is a protective factor for it.

Objective To discuss factors influencing the heterotopic ossifications (HO) after treatment of bi-column acetabular fractures. Methods One hundred and ninety-three cases of bi-column acetabular fractures were followed up, including 147 males and 46 females with an average age of 34. 4 years. Thirty-one cases were associated with craniocerebral trauma. The interval between injury and surgery was less than 1 week in 15 cases, 1 to 2 weeks in 121 cases, 2 to 3 weeks in 34 cases, and over 3 weeks in 23 cases. Factors that might have influenced HO, including surgical method, associated injury, and interval between injury and surgery, were analyzed retrospectively. Results All the cases were followed up for an average of 44. 2 (14 to 84) months. The mean operation time was 238 (150 to 330) minutes, and the average blood loss was 1453 (450 to 4400) mL. The incidence rate of HO was 39. 9% (77 in 193 cases), including 39 cases of degree one, 23 cases of degree two, and 15 cases of degree three. Of the 77 cases associated with HO, 14 had craniocerebral trauma and 63 did not (χ~2 = 0. 019, P = 0. 891) . HO was found in 2 cases that had been operated on in less than 1 week, 38 cases in 1 to 2 weeks, 21 cases in 2 to 3 weeks, and 16 cases in over 3 weeks. The Spearman correlation analysis between HO degree and clinical result showed no correlation ( R = 0. 041, P =0. 722). Only 15 cases (7. 8% ) were associated with HO after the debridement of the necrotic gluteus minimus. Conclusions HO after surgery for bi-column acetabular fractures may not be correlated with craniocerebral trauma, but highly correlated with the interval between injury and surgery. Debridement of necrotic gluteus minimus and other muscles can reduce the incidence of HO.

Objective To evaluate the effect of total glucosides of paeony (TGP) on the expression of interleukin-18 (IL-18) in human HaCaT keratinocytes,and to explore the roles of extracelluar signal-regulated protein kinase1/2 (ERK1/2) and c-Jun N-terminal kinase 1/2 (JNK1/2) signaling pathways in the effect.Methods Some cultured human HaCaT keratinocytes were classified into three groups:control group treated with dimethyl sulfoxide (0.031%),TGP groups treated with 6 different concentrations (0.5,2.5,12.5,62.5,125.0 and 312.5 mg/L) of TGP respectively,inhibitor groups treated with TGP of 125 mg/L after 2-hour pretreatment with PD98059 (an ERK1/2 inhibitor) and SP600125 (a JNK1/2 inhibitor) of 10 μmol/L respectively.After additional culture for 48 hours,reverse transcription (RT)-PCR was performed to measure the mRNA expression level of IL-18,and enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to determine the level of IL-18 protein in the culture supematant of HaCaT cells.Some HaCaT keratinocytes were classified into two groups to be treated with TGP of 125 mg/L for 15,30 and 60 minutes with or without the pretreatment with PD98059 and SP600125 of 10 μmol/L; then,Western blot was carried out to determine the phosphorylation levels of ERK1/2 and JNK1/2 in HaCaT cells.Results The levels of IL-18 mRNA and protein in culture supernatant were significantly increased by TGP of 0.5 and 2.5 mg/L,but decreased by TGP of 62.5 and 125.0 mg/L,and TGP of 125.0 mg/L showed the strongest inhibitory effect.After treatment with TGP of 125.0 mg/L,the level of phosphorylated ERK1/2 in HaCaT cells peaked at 15 minutes (0.448 ± 0.018),decreased to 0.213 ± 0.005 at 30 minutes and 0.217 ± 0.005 at 60 minutes,with significant differences between TGP-treated and untreated cells at 15 minutes (0.448 ± 0.018 vs.0.204 ± 0.005,P< 0.05) but not at 30 or 60 minutes (both P > 0.05).The phosphorylation level of ERK1/2 was 0.237 ± 0.010 in HaCaT cells pretreated with PD98059 prior to the treatment with TGP,significantly different from that in HaCaT cells treated with TGP only (P <0.01).TGP of 125.0 mg/L had no obvious effect on JNK phosphorylation,and there was no significant difference in the level of phosphorylated JNK1/2 between HaCaT cells untreated and those treated with TGP of 125.0 mg/L for different durations (all P > 0.05).Conclusions TGP can inhibit the expression of IL-18 mRNA and protein in HaCaT cells,likely through the ERK1/2 signaling pathway.
