OBJECTIVE To study the feasibility and security of parotidectomy for parotid benign tumor by tracing cervical branch to expose facial nerve. METHODS Parotid benign tumor of 87 patients were studied.We exposed facial nerve by tracing main facial nerve branch、buccal branch、marginal mandibular branch and cervical branch in parotidectomy for parotid benign tumor and observed the function of facial nerve after operation.RESULTS The number of patients traced by main facial nerve branch- buccal branch、marginal mandibular branch and cervical branch group were 10、8、28 and 41 respctively,and the percentage of facial nerve injury after operation were 30%、37.5%、46.4%and 24.3%.The percentage of facial nerve injury was statistically different between the marginal mandibular branch group and the cervical branch group(P

Objective To understand the expression of heat shock protein(HSP70)mRNA induced by chlorpyrifos in the hepatic tissue of rats.Methods Wistar rats aged 6 weeks were divided into 4 groups,12 in each including 6 male and 6 female,the rats in the experimental groups were treated with chlorpyrifos by gavage once a day at the doses of 17 mg/kg?bw,8.5 mg/kg?bw and 4.25 mg/kg?bw respectively for 14 consecutive days,one group was the negative control.After the exposure,the hepatic tissue was sampled to examine the expression of HSP70 mRNA by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).Results The expression of HSP70 mRNA in the hepatic tissue in the groups of 17 mg/kg?bw,8.5 mg/kg.bw was significantly up-regulated with a dose-response relationship compared with the negative control group.Conclusion The expression of HSP70 mRNA is a sensitive parameter for early exposure assessment of chlorpyrifos.

Diversity-oriented synthesis (DOS) aims to efficiently generate collections of small molecules with diverse appendages, functional groups, stereochemistry and skeletons, thus yielding diverse biological activities capable of modulating a wide variety of biological processes. In this review, we discussed the common strategies employed in DOS with specific examples from recent literature, including reagent-based approach, substrate-based approach, build-couple-pair strategy and privileged substructure-based DOS. The application of some DOS libraries in drug discovery is also presented.

Objective: To explore the prevalence of depression in junior school students and its relationship with potential psychological and environmental factors. Method:Depressive symptoms, self-esteem, life events, social support, family cohesion and conflict were investigated with self-report questionnaire in 300 junior school students, the relationship between depression and other psychological or environmental factors were analyzed through stepwise regression. Results:The prevalence of depression in junior high school students was 11%. Among the 5 investigated psychological and environmental factors, self-esteem and social support were negatively related with depression (standardized regression coefficient were -0.59 and -0.14), while life events positively related with it(standardized regression coefficient was 0.26). Only "academic pressure" and another factors covering the item "do not want to go to school" showed a negative association with the students' self-esteem among the 6 factors included in the life events questionnaire (standardized regression coefficient were -0.149 and -0.13).Conclusion: Depression is common among junior school students. Poor self-esteem, lack of social support and negative life events are currently related with the development of adolescent depression. The pressure and failing experiences coming from academic activities are the most influential life events to the development of adolescents' self-esteem.

In recent studies,obesity is a risk factor for a variety of cancers,including breast cancer and colorectal cancer.Obesity can regulate the tumorigenesis and development of cancer by some factors,such as insulin and insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1),leptin,fat cytokines and hormones.Understanding the relationship between obesity and cancer can provide a new perspective for the prevention and treatment of cancer.

A novel high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of 4-O- methylhonokiol in rabbit plasma and was applied to its pharmacokinetic investigation. Plasma samples were treated by one-fold volume of methanol and acetonitrile to remove the interference proteins. A reverse phase column of SHIM- PACK VP-ODS （150 mm ×4.6 mm, 5.0 μm） was used to separate 4-O-methylhonokiol in the plasma samples. The detection limit of 4-O-methylhonokiol was 0.2 μg/L and the linear range was 0. 012 - 1. 536 mg/L. The good extraction recoveries were obtained for the spiked samples （84.7%, 89.3% and 87.7% for low, middle and high concentrations of added standards, respectively）. The relative standard deviation of intra-day and inter-day precisions was in the range from 0.6% to 13.5%. The pharmacokinetic study of 4-O-methylhonokiol was made and the results from the plasmaconcentration curve of 4-0-methylhonokiol showed a two-apartment open model. This work developed a sensitive, stable and rapid HPLC method for the determination of 4-O-methylhonokiol and the developed method has been successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of 4-O-methylhonokiol.

Farnesoid X receptor (FXR) belongs to the nuclear receptor superfamily. It is highly related to the formation of metabolic syndrome and the glucose homeostasis, and therefore represents an important drug target against metabolic diseases and diabetes. In recent years, great progress has been made in the agonists, antagonists, and crystal structures of FXR. The diverse FXR ligands and their structure-activity relationship are reviewed in this article. The advances in the crystal structures of FXR in complex with different ligands are also introduced.

Objective To analyse the etiology and clinical characteristics of 26 critically ill children with severe hand foot and mouth disease (HFMD) of Shanxi province in 2010.Methods We retrospectively analysed the clinical data of 26 children with severe HFMD from Mar to Sep 2010.Nucleic acid of enterovirus 71 ( EV71 ) and Coxsackie virus A 16 ( CoxA16) were detected in 20 out of 26 children with HFMD by reversed real time polymerase chain reaction (rRT-PCR),and the whole VP1 gene of EV71 deriving from 6 different areas of Shanxi province was amplified,sequenced,and compared with strains from other areas in china.Results EV71 nucleic acid were positive in 18 out of 20 children,while the other two were negative for EV71 and CoxAl6.Among all the critical cases,20 cases (76.9％) occurred in Weinan area,four in Xianyang area,and two in Xi'an urban area.Compared with those of Fuyang Anhui,Hong Kong China,Guangzhou,Shenzhen,Shandong,Beijing,the homology of the whole VP1 gene sequence from 6 strains of Shanxi area was 96％ ～ 100％.Most of the critical children were under 3-year-old,and the incidence rate of male children was higher than that of female children.All affected children had persisted fever,poor energy,hyperarousal,hypersomnia,and limb shaking.Meanwhile their peripheral blood leukocytes,C-reactive protein and blood glucose were markedly increased,but renal injuries were rare.Eighteen children clinically recovered on discharge,among which 2 cases had sequelae of limb activity obstacle,and 8 cases died.Conclusion Weinan is the area with the highest incidence rate of critical HFMD cases in Shanxi Province,and the major etiological organism is EV71,which is highly homologous to EV71 found in other regions of mainland China.As many cases are in dangerous condition,thus early identification and intervention could inhibit the disease progression,and play a key role in reducing the mortality.
