Objective: To investigate the antimotion sickness effects of ginsenosides combined with dexamethasone in rats. Methods: Fifty SD rats were randomly divided into 5 groups: normal saline, scopolamine-treated, ginsenosides-treated, dexamethasone-treated and ginsenosides plus dexamethasone-treated groups. There were 10 rats in each group. The rats in each group were fed with corresponding ingredients respectively, and then the rats were exposed to abnormal acceleration for one hour. The motion sickness index, the level of kaolin consumption and the course and time of spontaneous activity were observed. Results: The motion sickness index and the level of kaolin consumption of acceleration-exposed rats in ginsenosides plus dexamethasone-treated group were significantly lower than those in normal saline group. And the course and time of spontaneous activity of acceleration-exposed rats in ginsenosides plus dexamethasone-treated group were significantly higher than those in normal saline group. The level of body weight increment of acceleration-exposed rats in ginsenosides plus dexamethasone-treated group was significantly higher than that in dexamethasone-treated group. Conclusion: Ginsenosides combined with dexamethasone can significantly increase tolerance to acceleration of rats, and the drug combination can decrease side effects of methylprednisolone, such as body weight loss.

BACKGROUND:The occurrence and severity of denture stomatitis are closely related to denture cleaning methods and wearing time. Therefore, it is of great significance to explore the effects of denture cleansers on denture surface roughness and color stability.OBJECTIVE:To investigate the effects of four different denture cleansers on the surface roughness and color stability of heat-curing denture base resins and elastic denture base materials by means of soaking test.METHODS: Samples of heat-curing denture base resins (n=25) and elastic denture base materials (n=25) were polished and soaked in NaClO, Efferdent, Polident partial, Polident overnight and water, respectively. The soak process was repeated 90 times. Then the color aberration and surface roughness were tested using color meter and roughmeter before soaking and after 30, 60, 90 times of soaking.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:These four kinds of denture cleansers have greater influence on the elastic denture base materials than on the heat-curing denture base resins. With the increasing of soaking time, the color aberration and surface roughness of the two kinds of denture materials were increased gradualy after treatment with different denture cleansers, and the values were ranked as follows: NaClO > Efferdent > Polident overnight > Polident partial and water. To conclude, denture cleansers can induce the changes in denture surface roughness and color stability of heat-curing denture base resins and elastic denture base materials. NaClO exerts the strongest effect, followed by Efferdent and Polident overnight, and Polident partial exhibits the weakest effect.

? AIM: To investigate the influence of phacoemulsification on corneal endothelial cells and its injury risk factors in diabetic cataract patients.?METHODS: From January 2013 to October 2015, 186 diabetic cataract patients ( 224 eyes ) as diabetes group and 190 patients with simple cataract ( 227 eyes ) as control group in our hospital were enrolled. All patients received phacoemulsification combined with intraocular lens implantation. Observation of corneal endothelial cell density, coefficient of variation and percentage of hexagonal cells preoperatively, 1d, 1wk, 1 and 3mo postoperatively were carried out, and multiple Logistic regression analysis for risk factors of corneal endothelial cell injury was taken.?RESULTS: There were no significant difference in the density of corneal endothelial cells, the coefficient of variation and the percentage of hexagonal cells between the two groups before surgery (P>0. 05). Each time point after operation corneal endothelial cell density and the percentage of hexagonal endothelial cells of diabetes group were significantly lower than the preoperative and those of control group ( P < 0. 05 ). Each time after operation endothelial cell coefficient of variation of diabetes group were significantly higher than the preoperative(P<0. 05). The endothelial cell coefficient of variation in diabetes group of the 1wk, 1 and 3mo after operation were significantly higher than those of the control group ( P<0. 05 ) . Corneal endothelial cell density and percentage of hexagonal cells of the control group at 1wk, 1 and 3mo after operation were significantly lower than the preoperative ( P<0. 05 ). The endothelial cell coefficient of variation of control group at 1wk, 1 and 3mo after operation were significantly higher than the preoperative(P<0. 05). Single factor analysis showed that age, shallow anterior chamber, long ultrasonic time, short eye axis, high energy ultrasonic, high cumulative released energy, a lot of perfusate and nuclear hardness ≥ grade Ⅲ associated with corneal endothelial cell injury ( P< 0. 05 ) . Multivariate Logistic regression analysis showed that age, long ultrasonic time, high ultrasonic energy, high cumulative released energy and nuclear hardness ≥ grade Ⅲ were the risk factors of corneal endothelial cell injury, the OR value and 95%CI were 1. 742 (1. 056-2. 682), 1. 958 (1. 227-3. 135), 2. 064(1. 274-3. 256), 2. 585(1. 493-3. 682), 2. 193 (1. 348-3. 316).?CONCLUSION: The injury of corneal endothelial cells after phacoemulsification in diabetic cataract patients is more serious than in patients with simple cataract. Age, long ultrasonic time, high ultrasonic energy, high cumulative released energy and nuclear hardness ≥grade Ⅲ are the risk factors of corneal endothelial cell injury.

Amphetamine-type stimulants ( ATS ) , a group of new-type synthetic drugs mainly in psychological dependence, are abused more and more severely in recent years. MicroRNAs ( MiRNAs ) are an important class of endogenous non-coding small RNAs that mediate posttranscriptional negatively regulation of gene expression by targeting specific mRNA sequences to in-hibit the translation of mRNAs or degrade the expression of mR-NAs. ATS can induce the changes in the expression of miRNAs in addiction-related brain regions which directly involve in the regulation of ATS-induced addictive behaviors. Therefore, to study the regulatory role of miRNAs in ATS-induced addiction has important implications for dependent mechanisms of new-type drugs and the discovery of the new targets of drug actions.

Objective The homological analysis of a foodborne disease outbreak event that occurred on July 15, 2022, in Sanya was carried out to provide scientific basis for clinical treatment, incident tracing and prevention and control, and to explore the feasibility of pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF MS) in the homology analysis of Salmonella bacteria. Methods The traceability analysis of food poisoning incidents was accurately analyzed through the combination of traditional bacterial detection methods, PFGE, MALDI-TOF MS and the clinical symptom, epidemiological characteristics. Results In this outbreak, 14 cases of poisoning symptoms such as fever, nausea, and vomiting appeared, all of which had a history of dining in the same restaurant, with similar onset and clinical manifestations. Among them, one was the chef who made the fried rice in the restaurant. The pathogen culture and identification showed that it was caused by Salmonella typhimurium and Salmonella choleraesuis. Among the 14 cases of patients, 5 cases of Salmonella choleraesuis, 3 cases of Salmonella typhimurium, with the positive rate of 57.14% (8/14). One case of environment and two cases of food were detected. The result of PFGE showed nine PFGE types, 95.00% homology for 7 strains, and 94.00% homology for 4 strains. Conclusions The food poisoning was caused by eating egg fried rice containing Salmonella choleraesuis and pork intestine containing Salmonella typhimurium. In the future, , it is necessary to strengthen the risk monitoring of food contamination and harmful factors, to ensure food safety from the source of food supply, and to prevent the occurrence of foodborne infection events. At the same time, it is also crucial to standardize the health check of related personnel, and to conduct multi-channel education on the harm and prevention of foodborne diseases.

Objective This study was designed to investigate the correlationship between plasma metastin and pathogenesis of adolescent women with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).MethodsFrom Jan 2006 to Jun.2006.42 PCOS patients including 19 adolescent women and 23 adults with syndrome were treated in Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-Sen University.According to the range of age,those patients were divided into 19 cases in adolascent group(≤19 years)and 23 cases in aduh group(＞19 years).Meanwhile,20 adolescent women were matched as controls.Blood samples were collected between day 1 and day 5 of a spontaneous bleeding episode in the PCOS groups and a menstrual cycle of the controls.The Jevels of luteinizing hormone(LH)，follicle-stimulating hormone(FSH)，testosterone(T)，free T(FT)，dehydroepiandrosterone sulfate(DHEAS)，sex hormone-binding globulin(SHBG)，insulin，glucose，and metastin were detected from day 1 to day 5 of spontaneous bleeding or withdrawal bleeding by progesterone.On the next day,oral glucose tolerance test(75 g)and insulin release test were performed on those above patients and controls.The area under carve(AUC),the ratio of fasting blood glucose to insulin(GIR)and homeostasis model assessment insulin resistance jndex ( HOMA-IR)were calculated.Results(1)The level of hormone:the level of LH was in(12±7)U/L in adult group and(12±8)U/L in adolescent PCOS group，which were significantly higher than(6±4)U/L in controls(P＜0.05).The level of FT was(2.3±1.2)pmol/L in adult group，which was significantly higher than(1.3±0.8)pmol/L in adolescent group and(1.1±0.5)pmol/L in control roup(P＜0.05).It was observed that the level of(3.1±2.7)μmol/L in adolescent group was significantly lower than(6.3±2.7)μmol/L in control group(P＜0.05).Meanwhile,the level of FAI of 5.6±4.1 in adult group was significantly higher than 3.0±1.3 in control group(P＜0.05).No significant difference in FSH，T and SHBG levels among three groups were observed (P＞0.05).(2)Metastin and metabolism:Both the levels of fasting blood insulin,2-hour insulin and AUC of insulin were(13±7)mU/L，(88±59)mU/L and(133±80)mU·L-1·min-1 in adolescent group，which were significantly higher than(7±3)mU/L，(57±29)mU/L and(82±34)mU·L-1·min-1 in control group.The fasting blood insulin of(13±7)mU/L in adolescent group was significantly higher than (9±5)mU/L in adult group.The level of fasting blood glucose and 2-hour glucose were(5.01±0.44)mmol/L and(6.48±1.16)mmol/L in adult group，which were significantly higher than(4.68±0.29)mmol/L and(5.44±0.83)mmol/L in control group and(4.67±0.30)mmol/L and(5.93±1.44)mmol/L in adolescent group.The glucose AUC of(9.99±1.85)mmol·L-1·min-1 in adult group was significantly higher than(8.42±1.53)mmol·L-1·min-1 in control group(P＜0.05).HOMA-IR of 2.6±2.0 in adolescent group was significantly higher than 1.4±0.7 in control group.GIR of 10±8 in adolescent group was significantly lower than 16±10 in control group(P＜0.05).The metastin level of (0.25±0.19)pmol/L in adolescent group and(0.29±0.29)pmol/L in adult group were all significantly higher than(0.18±0.23)pmol/L in control group(PPh glucose were observed(r=0.256，0.286 and 0.267.P=0.044.0.025 and 0.043).Conclusions The expression of metastin in adolescent PCOS women was significantly higher that of normal adolescent women The increased level of metastin might be associated with pathogenesis of adolescent women with PCOS.

Objective To investigate the effect of anti-Mlllerian hormone (AMH) on hormone secretion and P450 aromatase mRNA expression from cultured human luteinized granulosa cells. Methods Human luteinized granulose cells were derived from 10 patients treated by in vitro fertilization-embryo transplantation (IVF-ET) in the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen University from June to December 2006. Granulose cells were divided into group A, B, C, D, E depending on different concentration of AMH,testosterone group and blank group. 1×10-7moL/L testosterone and 1,5,10,20,50 μg/L AMH were added into the culture medium of group A,B,C,D and E. 1×10-7mol/L testosterone was added into the culture medium of testosterone group while no other ingredient was added into the medium of blank group. Estrogen levels in supernates were measured at 24,48,72 hours after cell incubation. RT-PCR was performed to detect the P450 aromatase mRNA expression in group B, C, D, E and testosterone group at 72 hours after cell incubation. Results (1) Estrogen levels in supernates of granulose cell culture at 24,48,72 hours were (8.529±0.381)×104, (10.977±0.436)×104, (13.309±0.506)×104 pmol/L in group A, (7.027±0.276)×104, (9.167±0.300)×104, (10.794±0.555)×104 pmol/L in group B, (6.039±0.226)×104,(7.585±0.548)×104, (8.797±0.518)×104 pmol/L in group C, (5.118±0.460)×104, (5.716±0.496)×104, (6.205±0.667)×104 pmol/L in group D, (4.932±0.148)×104, (5.323±0.184)×104,(5.629±0.212)×104 pmol/L in group E. When compared with blank group [(0.001±0.001)×104,(0.006±0.003)×104, (0.029±0.011)×104 pmol/L], the statistical differences were observed in group A,B,C,D,E(P<0.01) ; when compared with testosterone group [ (8.418±0.569)×104, (10.841±0.689)×104, (13.301±0.637)×104 pmol/L], the statistical differences were observed in group B,C,D and E(P<0.01) ; statistical differences were also observed in group C, D and E when compared with group B, and also group D and E when compared with group C(P<0.01). No significant difference was observed between group D and E (P>0.05). In group A, B, C, D, E and testosterone group, the estrogen levels at 24 hours after cell culture were significantly lower than those at 48 and 72 hours (P<0.01) ; statistical difference was observed between estrogen levels at 48 and 72 hours(P<0.01). No significant difference was observed among 24,48 and 72 hours in blank group (P>0.05). (2) Relative ratios of intensity of P450 aromatase/β-actin at72 hours of cell culture in group B,C,D and E were 0.6148±0.0046, 0.5156±0.0012, 0.4698±0.0027 and 0.4282±0.0017, respectively, which were statistically lower than that in testosterone group (0.8224±0.0021, P<0.01) ;statistical differences were also observed in group C, D and E when compared with group B, and also group D and E when compared with group C(P<0.01). No significant difference was observed between group D and E (P>0.05). Conclusion It is suggested that AMH might affect estrogen synthesis by inhibiting P450 aromatose activity so that lead to hyperandrogenism microenvironment in local ovary.

Objectives To investigate clinical features and the risk factors for 30-day death in elderly chest pain patients.Methods In the prospective study,514 patients with acute chest pain leading to emergency department visit were selected from March 2012-August 2010 and grouped into elderly group (aged≥65 years,n=309) and non-elderly group (aged< 65 years,n=205).The patient's clinical data during 30-day follow-up period were recorded for analysis and comparison.Multivariate regression analysis was used to investigate the risk factors of death.Results Among 514 cases with acute chest pain,30(5.8%)patients with all-cause death included 24 cases in group of 309 (7.8%) elderly patients and 6 (2.9%) cases in group of 205 non-elderly patients during 30 day follow-up period.Univariate regression analysis showed that female,low SBP,Killips' classification ≥ Ⅱ,high level of serum troponin T and creatinine,coronary artery ischemia were more likely to died during 30 day follow-up period.And female and Killips' classification ≥ Ⅱwere the independent factor for 30-day death in the elderly[OR:3.55 (95%CI:1.00-12.59) and 5.90 (95%CI:1.31-26.63)]respectively.Conclusions Elderly patients with acute chest pain for first emergency department visit are at high risk for 30-day death.Female and cardiac function Killips' classification ≥ Ⅱ,high levels of serum troponin T and creatinine and coronary artery ischemia are associated with 30-day death in patients with acute chest pain for first emergency visit.Female and Killips' classification ≥ Ⅱare the independent risk factor for 30-day death.
