The traditional view that vitamin D is mainly involved in bone metabolism and calcium and phosphorus homeostasis,and bone-related diseases such as osteoporosis related.However,some recent studies have shown that vitamin D plays a key role in obstetrics and gynecology diseases,particularly,endometriosis and ovarian cancer,preeclampsia and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) in polycystic ovary syndrome influence (PCOS).Advances in vitamin D article and on the relationship between gynecological and obstetrical diseases were reviewed.

A digital system for bioimpedance and electrical impedance tomography (EIT) measurement controlled by an ATmega16 microcontroller was constructed in our laboratory. There are eight digital electrodes using AD5933 to measure the impedance of the targets, and the data is transmitted to the computer wirelessly through nRF24L01. The structure of the system, circuit design, system testing, vitro measurements of animals' tissues and electrical impedance tomography are introduced specifically in this paper. The experimental results showed that the system relative error was 0.42%, and the signal noise ratio was 76.3 dB. The system not only can be used to measure the impedance by any two electrodes within the frequency of 1-100 kHz in a sweep scanning, but also can reconstruct the images of EIT. The animal experiments showed that the data was valid and plots were fitting with Cole-Cole theory. The testing verified the feasibility and effectiveness of the system. The images reconstructed of a salt-water tank are satisfactory and match with the actual distribution of the tank. The system improves the effectiveness of the front-end measuring signal and the stability of the system greatly.

Objective To explore the reporting process of our health risk warning system and its long-term effectiveness.Methods A total of 1 168 individuals who were identified as higher risk populations from July 2011 to June 2012 in our Health Mangement Center were served as the control group,and another 973 adults who were identified as higher risk individuals from July 2012 to May 2013 were assigned to the study group.Diagnosis and treatment were based on our health risk reporting process and follow-up system.Paired t test and paired contingency table x2 test were used for data analysis.Results The rate of follow-up (97％ vs 100％,x2=30.503,P＜0.05),consultation (83.48％ vs 93.63％,x2=52.142,P＜ 0.05),mean treatment time ((3.0±0.5) vs (1.5±0.5) d,t=69.12,P＜0.05) and patient satisfaction (87.84％ vs 96.20％,x2=48.361,P＜0.05) were significantly different between the two groups,although no statistically significant difference of incidence of adverse events was found (0.26％ vs 0.10％,x2 =0.102,P＞0.05).Conclusion Our health risk warning system may reduce the time for physical examination and improve disease diagnosis level and patients' satisfaction.Moreover,our health manatement system and health service quality should further be improved in practice.

Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) was synthesized by precipitation polymerization using ribavirin as the template molecule and methacrylic acid as the functional monomer.The sensitive film of ribavirin electrode was constructed by molecularly imprinted polymer doped with graphene oxide as the ionophore, poly(vinylchloride) (PVC) as matrix and dioctyl sebacate for plasticizer.The results showed that the best performance of the electrode was obtained when the sensitive film compositions were 100.8 mg of MIP, 14.7 mg of GO, 450.8 mg of PVC and 901.6 mg of dioctyl sebacate, and the inner filling solution composition was 0.1 mol/L NaCl + 0.05 mol/L NaAc-0.05 mol/L HAc + 1.0×10.-5 mol/L ribavirin solution.The electrode showed a near-Nernstian slope of 45.565 mV/decade for ribavirin over the range of 1.0×10.6-1.0×10.-4 mol/L and a detection limit of 1.0×10.-7 mol/L.The electrode could be used in the pH range of 3 to 5 with response time of less than 3 min.The developed electrode exhibited high selectivity for ribavirin and was successfully applied to the determination of ribavirin in feed and injection with recoveries of 90%-110% and RSD of 3.0%-7.9%.

The mild cognitive impairment and vascular cognitive impairment no dementia are the early stages for Alzheimer's disease and vascular dementia proposed in recent years.They both not only have some differences,but also have many crosses and contacts in concepts,diagnostic criteria,epidemiology,pathology,neuropsychology,and biological markers,etc.This article reviews the recent progresses and problems facing in recent years.

Objective:To study the effect of GABA and A receptor agonist THIP on proliferation and apoptosis of cytokine-induced killer (CIK) cells.Methods:CIK cells were cultured by routine method,and then treated with different concentrations of GABA and THIP.The proliferation of CIK cells were investigated by MTT assay.The apoptosis,cell cycle and immunophenotype were investigated by flow cytometry.Results:GABA could inhibit the proliferation of CIK cells in a dose-dependent manner and affect the distribution of cell cycle of CIK cells(P

The British and French language analogy method in bilingual teaching was applied to the clinical students who were learning medical French in Kunming Medical University. Based on the students' good English foundation , a series of problems were solved properly such as contradictions between the professional course and foreign language classes , unmatched textbooks and teaching con-tents, the teachers' quality by lexical analogy and textual analogy and the rational allocation of the British and French language analogy teaching content. The teaching contents and methods were also properly worked out and good results were got.

[ ABSTRACT] AIM:To investigate the protective effect of 1, 3-dicyclopentyl-1, 2, 3, 6-tetrahydropyrimidine-4, 5-dicarboxylic acid diethyl ester (ZL-5015) on lethal endotoxin-challenged mice and to explore the underlying mechanism. METHODS:Mouse model of lethal endotoxin challenge and endotoxemia were established by intraperitoneal administration of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) at a dose of 70 mg/kg to the C57BL/6J mice.Mouse peritoneal macrophages stimulated with LPS (10 mg/L) were used as an in vitro inflammatory model.The levels of interleukin-1β( IL-1β) , interleukin-10 ( IL-10) and tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) were measured by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Real-time PCR was used to evaluate the mRNA expression of the cytokines.RESULTS:Prophylactic treatment of the mice with ZL-5015 (100 and 200 mg/kg, ig) slightly increased the survival rate, extended the survival time, decreased the serum levels of IL-1βand TNF-α, and increased the serum level of IL-10 in the early stage of endotoxemia as compared with model group.The results of in vitro study demonstrated that treatment of the endotoxin-stimulated mouse peritoneal macrophages with ZL-5015 (10, 20 and 40μmol/L) inhibited the expression of IL-1βand TNF-αat both mRNA and protein levels but promoted the expression of IL-10 at both mRNA and protein levels.CONCLUSION: The tetrahydropyrimidine derivative ZL-5015 shows a moderate anti-endotoxin effect by increasing the survival rate and extending the survival time of the mice challenged by endotoxin, which may result from inhibition of the expression of pro-inflammatory cytokines such as IL-1βand TNF-α, and promotion of the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10.
