Hepatic fibrosis in rat induced by intraperitoneal injection of dimethylnitroamine (DMN) was traeted by RNA (4 mg ? kg-1) and CoQ10(2. 5 mg ? kg-1) ,seperately. Normal and pathological groups were compared. In 30, 60 and 90 days treatment, rats were killed for ul-trastructural examination and measurement of serum enzymology, serum amino acids and the quantity of collagenous fibers. The results indicated that, in RNA-treated and CoQ10 treated groups, Aspartate aminotransferase (AST) and Y-glutamyl-transpeptidase(?-GT) were normal, the ratio of albunm to globulin (A/G) had significantly difference compared with controlgroup. In RNA-treated group,L-Alanine:2-Ox-oglutarate Aminotransferase(ALT), monoamine oxidase (MAO) and N-acetyl-?-glucosaminidase (NAG) decreased evidently, serum amino acids increased slightly. Ultrastructural and microscopical examination showed the degree of hepa-tocytic necrosis degeneration and the quantity of collagenous fibers in RNA-treated group were rather mild. It appeared that there were protection effects of RNA on liver enzymology and hepaticfibrosis.

Objective: To explore the clinical value of adenosine triphosphate (ATP) stress99mTc-methoxyisobutylisonitrile (99mTc-MIBI) gated myocardial perfusion imaging (G-MPI) for evaluating the severity and region of myocardial ischemia and left ventricular function in patients with myocardial bridge. Methods: A total of 58 patients with CAG or CTA confirmed diagnosis of myocardial bridge received ATP stress99mTc-MIBI G-MPI examination in our hospital. The short and vertical long-axis image of left ventricular myocardium were divided into 13 segments and the radionuclide distribution was semi-quantitatively evaluated into 4 classes by 0-3 scores visually (0: normal, 1: mild reduction, 2: moderate reduction, 3: severe reduction). The summed stress score (SSS) of left ventricular myocardium was calculated, the severity and region of myocardial ischemia were judged and compared with the severity of myocardial bridge. The LVEF obtained by ATP stress 99mTc-MIBI G-MPI was compared with LVEF obtained by cardiac color ultrasound (UCG).Results: The detection rate of myocardial ischemia by ATP Stress 99mTc-MIBI G-MPI and by 24h dynamic ECGwere 82.76% vs 56.10%, P <0.05. ATP Stress 99mTc-MIBI G-MPI presented abnormal radionuclide distribution in258 segments (63.55%) of LAD supplied territory, 82 (47.13%) of LCX supplied territory and 74 (42.53%) of RCAsupplied territory; the ischemic segments in LAD supplied territory were more than those in LCX and RCA suppliedterritories, P <0.0125. The resting LVEF obtained by ATP Stress 99mTc-MIBI G-MPI and by UCG were (69.59 ± 4.13)% vs (63.22 ± 4.12) %, P >0.05 and they had positive correlation (r =0.555, P <0.05).Conclusion: ATP stress 99mTc-MIBI G-MPI could accurately and intuitively evaluate the severity and region ofmyocardial ischemia and left ventricular function in patients with myocardial bridge, it has certain guiding value inclinical practice.

We constructed transgenic chicken bioreactor vector, driven by chicken ovalbumin promoter, lentiviral vector and cytomegalovirus (CMV) promoter control vector encoding green fluorescent protein (GFP) and luciferase (Luc) as reporter genes. The three vectors were used to transfect or infect chicken primary oviduct epithelial cells, embryo fibroblasts cells, mouse 3T3-L1 preadipocytes cells and bovine mammary epithelial cells. High efficient and specific expression vector for transgenic chicken bioreactor was determined by detecting fluorescence and luciferase activity. Reporter gene analysis showed that chicken ovalbumin promoter expression vector was not cell type-specific in these four different cells. Additionally, luciferase reporter analysis illustrated that the chicken ovalbumin promoter activity was over 100 times lower than that of the CMV promoter in four different cells. Both of these two reporter genes were expressed in those four different cells infected by lentiviral expression vectors. Similarly, the GFP reached the similar expression level in cells infected by lentivirus and cells transfected with CMV promoter plasmid vectors when the multiplicity of infection was 20. In conclusion, the transgenic chicken bioreactor vector under the control of chicken ovalbumin promoter was not highly efficient and cell type-specific. However, the efficient expression and extensiveness oflentiviral vector could be used for studying chicken oviduct bioreactor.

Objective:To overcome the disadvantages of bismuth removal by bismuth sulfide precipitation method recommended by existing analytical standards and improve the quality of analytical result.Methods:Based on 201×7 anion exchange resin, the experimental process of bismuth removal was designed, and verified by using spiked samples and IAEA test samples.Results:Bismuth was removed by anion exchange resin. In the removal experiments of strontium, yttrium and bismuth, the chemical recovery rate of strontium and yttrium could reach (98.6 ± 0.8)% and (98.5 ± 0.7)%, respectively, with no Bi 2S 3 precipitation found. The relative standard deviation between analytical result and theoretical values was -2.97% to 5.94%, better than 3.96%-17.8% by the standard bismuth removal method. Through validation using IAEA test samples, the relative standard deviation between the reported value and the target value for 90Sr was between 3.40%-7.09%, and all the results were acceptable. Conclusions:Bismuth could be quantitatively removed using anion exchange resin without adsorption of strontium and yttrium. In addition, the bismuth removal solution system of anion exchange resin was the same as the elution system in 90Sr analysis, and the purpose of rapid bismuth removal could be achieved without conversion system. Compared with the current standard analytical method, it was feasible and better to quantitatively remove bismuth based on anion exchange resin, which could meet the needs of routine analysis of 90Sr.

Objective:
To analyze the epidemiological characteristics of HIV/AIDS infected students in Shandong Province, to provide a basis for the prevention and control of AIDS transmission in the student population.
Methods:
All 863 HIV/AIDS students cases during 2010-2019 were collected in Shandong Province. Epidemiological characteristics was described and the trends in the 10 years since 2010 was analyzed.
Results:
These 863 HIV/AIDS students were mainly transmitted through homosexual sex (763 cases, 88.41%), and the samples were mainly from voluntary consultation testing (433 cases, 50.17%). From 2010 to 2019, the proportion of student cases in the total number of cases showed an increasing trend ( χ 2 trend =30.21, P <0.01). Among them, the proportion of homosexual transmission cases increased year by year ( χ 2 trend =6.35, P =0.01), the proportion of cases aged 18-22 years increased year by year ( χ 2 trend =6.10, P =0.01), the proportion of cases with college degree or above increased year by year ( χ 2 trend =4.26, P =0.04). At present, voluntary consultation testing were the main source.There was no significant difference between the years of sample sources ( χ 2 trend =2.97, P =0.09).
Conclusion
The report number of students in Shandong Province are on the rise in recent years, especially those infected by same sex transmission, mainly with high education background, which calls for targeted strategies and intervention measures.

Objective:
To explore the characteristics of executive function of developmental dyslexic children and the relationship with social adaptability, in order to provide a scientific basis for promoting healthy development of developmental dyslexic children.
Methods:
From June to September 2023, 85 students in the developmental dyslexia group, 85 students in the biological agematched group and 85 students in the reading levelmatched group were selected from the third to sixth grades of two elementary school in a region of Xinjiang by cluster random sampling method. Their executive function was assessed by the Stroop procedure, the 2-back procedure and the numerical conversion procedure, respectively, and their social adaptive ability was assessed by the Social Adaptation Scale for Children and Adolescents. An analysis of variance (ANOVA) was used to compare the differences in executive function and social adjustment among the three groups, and Pearsons correlation was used to analyze the relationship between executive function and social adjustment in developmental dyslexic children.
Results:
Children in the developmental dyslexia group had lower correctness on the Stroop colorword task (0.72±0.21), the 2-back task (0.32±0.13), the digitswitching task (0.54±0.16) and the total score of social adjustment (165.39±31.36) than children in the biological agematched (0.80±0.19,0.38±0.11,0.61±0.15,181.71±31.85) and reading levelmatched group (0.79±0.17,0.35±0.07,0.58±0.15,175.71±27.48) (F=4.54,5.05,4.97,6.31,P<0.01). The inhibition (Stroop colorword task correct rate) and conversion subcomponent (digitswitching task correct rate) of the executive function of children in the developmental dyslexia group were both positively correlated with their social adaptive ability (r=0.34,0.43), and the refreshing subcomponent of the executive function (2-back task correct rate) was negatively correlated with their social adaptive ability (r=-0.27) (P<0.05).
Conclusions
Children with developmental dyslexia have executive function deficits and social maladjustment, and their executive function is related to social adjustment. Measures should be taken to improve the executive function of developmental dyslexic children and to improve their social adaptation.
