BACKGROUND: There are many methods for studying the somatotype of adults or children. Among them, Heath-Carter somatotype method is a comprehensive evaluation method. Using this method, 10 items of anthropometric indicators are selected and 3 factors which could be gotten to represent relative content of body fat, growth degree of skeletal muscle and relative height and thinness of body (relative line degree), are calculated, respectively.OBJECTIVE: To analyze the rules and characteristics of somatotype development in Dong students from Hunan province, so as to supplement the essential data for physical anthropology.DESIGN, TIME AND SETTING: A cross-sectional investigation was performed at the Department of Biological Engineering, Huaihua College of Hunan Province in May 2006.PARTICIPANTS: A total of 989 Dong students (boys 492, girls 497), aged 7 to 17 years, were selected from the primary schools or middle schools of Tongdao Dong Nationality Autonomous Country in Hunan province and recruited into the present study. All the selected students were verified healthy by physical examinations at school. The subjects were divided into two groups by gender, and each group was divided into 11 subgroups according to the age.METHODS: By Heath-Carter somatotype method, 10 anthropological indexes were measured. Each indicator was measured twice and the average value was selected. The above-mentioned data were input into the computer to form a database. The following indicators were calculated in turn: 3 factors on somatotype, coordinate values of X and Y on somatotype chart, mean of dimensional distances from the average somatotype to all somatotypes in the sample, difference between the two somatotypes in three-dimensional space and frequency distribution of each somatotype.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Height, body mass, upper arm circumference, calf circumference, intracondylar diameters of humerus and femur, skinfold of brachial triceps, subscapular skinfold, skinfold of anterosuperior iliac spine, skinfold of gastrocnemius muscle.RESULTS: All 989 students were included in the final analysis. The dynamic range of the average value of endomorphic factor was 1.2-1.9 and 1.3-4.1, and that of mesomorphic factor was 4.2-5.1 and 1.9-3.0, and that of ectomorphic factor was 2.8-3.7 and 2.6-3.9 for the boys and the girls, respectively. Statistical analysis revealed that there was significant difference in the average value of mesomorphic factor by gender in each age (P<0.05-0.01). The average endomorphic factor of the girls was obviously higher than that of the boys in each age (P<0.01) except 7 to 11 years old. The average ectomorphic factor of the girls was higher than that of the boys before 13 years old and it was contrary after 13 years old. There was significant difference of average ectomorphic factor between beys and girls only in 9,11 and 15 to 17 years old (P<0.05-0.01). The results of t-test showed that there was significant difference for the somatotypes by gender in each age (P<0.05-0.01). The distribution of girl somatotype demonstrated a dynamic process from 7 to 17 years old, which demonstrated balanced mesomorphy-ectomorphy changed to balanced ecdomorphy, ectomorphy-ectomorphy, balanced endomorphy-ectomorphy and balanced endomorphy in turn. But distribution of boy somatotype was relatively stable, and average somatotype was mesomorphy. Cluster analysis revealed that there was obvious difference of congenital somatotype between Dong students and other 9 populations. During puberty, the somatotype feature of Dong boys was more close to that of Korean boys (SAD=0.37), but which was more far to that of Han boys in the city (SAD=2.15). The somatotype feature of Dong girls was more close to that of Zhuang girls (SAD=0.71), but which was more far to that of Korean girls (SAD=2.35) and Miao girls (SAD=2.10).CONCLUSION: The congenital somatotype of Dong students has its unique characteristics. There is obvious difference in somatotype characteristics between boys and girls.

Objective To observe the effects of olfactory lamina propria (OLP) transplantation and ganglioside GM1 treatment on spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats.Methods Totally 50 healthy pure breed female Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats after spinal cord hemiseetion were randomly divided into 5 groups and were given different treatments: (OLP + GM1) treatment group (group A), GM1 treatment group (group B), OLP treatment group (group C), spinal cord injury but without treatment group (group D) and healthy control group (group E). The recovery of neurological function was evaluated by somatosensory evoked potential (SEP) and pathological examination after surgery. Results In group A, in some rats an escaping response in right hind leg occurred, but in other groups, the motor function was not significantly improved. Histological examination showed that transplanted olfactory lamina propria survived in the transplantation area and expanded on certain routes. NF positive nerve fibers passed through the transplantation area. Compared with group B, C, D, the N1-wave latency was(4.71±0. 72)ms 4 weeks after operation(P<0. 01), and the NF density was(7. 31±0. 26) ×104/mm28 weeks after operation in group A(P<0. 05). Conclusions Olfactory lamina propria (OLP) transplantation and ganglioside GM1 treatment have a synergistic effect on SCI.

BACKGROUND:Dihydroartmisinin can promote apoptosis of glioma cels GL261, but its effect on glioma stem cels is stil unknown. OBJECTIVE:To investigate the preliminary mechanism that dihydroartemisinin inhibits migration and invasion of glioma stem cels. METHODS: Glioma stem cels were isolated from mouse malignant glioma cel lines GL261. Immunofluorescence analysis was conducted to identify the characteristics of glioma stem cels. Migration and invasion abilities of glioma stem cels were analyzed by Transwel assay. The mRNA expressions of Tol-like receptor 2, matrix metaloproteinase-2 and matrix metaloproteinase-9 were examined by real-time fluorescence quantitative PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The characteristics of glioma stem cels were identified by CD133 and Nestin staining. The migration and invasion of glioma stem cels were attenuated by dihydroartemisinin dose-dependently. Moreover, the mRNA expression of Tol-like receptor 2, matrix metaloproteinase-2 and matrix metaloproteinase-9 was also decreased by dihydroartemisinin in a dose dependent manner. These results suggest that dihydroartemisinin inhibits the migration and invasion of glioma stem cels probably through attenuation of Tol-like receptor signaling pathway.

Proteomics is a powerful subject focusing on large-scale study of protein structures and functions. A complete enzymatic digestion of protein complexes is the key step in modern high-resolution and high-throughput mass spectrometry (MS)-based identification and quantification. To achieve MS analysis, both peptide sample pretreatment and data acquisition are prerequisite in proteomic studies. In this paper, we summarized both the enzymatic proprieties of three common proteolytic enzymes, Trypsin, Lys-C and Glu-C, the optimization of multi-enzyme combination and an advanced sample pretreatment in proteomics research.

Abstrac Objective:To investigate the clinical efficacy of epidermal growth factor receptor tyrosine kinase inhibitors (EGFR-TKIs) in the treatment of squamous-cell lung cancer patients with EGFR mutations. Methods:We screened out seven patients who were diag-nosed with EGFR mutations and received EGFR-TKIs, such as gifitinib or erlotinib, from 2,317 squamous-cell lung cancer patients treat-ed at the Beijing Chest Hospital from January 2010 to July 2016. Results:After using EGFR-TKIs, the objective response rate was 42.9%, the disease control rate was 100%, and the median progression-free survival was 6.1 months. Conclusion:EGFR-TKIs exert a certain clinical curative effect on patients with EGFR mutations in squamous-cell lung cancer. However, given that only seven cases are pre-sented in this research group, more cases are needed for further research to verify the above conclusion.
