Aim To observe the inhibition of myeloperioxidase(MPO) activity in rat colitis by oral administration of HPMCP-coated chitosan capsule filled with dexamethasone(DSP) liposome lyophilized powder.Method The rat colitis was induced with the coloclysis of 2,4,6-trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid(TNBS),and then methods were established for quantifying MPO in colon tissue and the ratio of rat colon weight/rat body weight(C/B),which were chosen as the index of colitis degree.These indexes were used to evaluate the inhibiting action of various DSP dosage forms on MPO in colon tissue after their oral administration.Results The observed MPO in colon tissue reached the max on the fifth day with the coloclysis of TNBS.All the experimented DSP preparations could effectively inhibit MPO activity,while DSP lyophilized liposome capsule had the most effectiveness.Conclusion DSP lyophilized liposome chitosan capsule may be more helpful in treating colitis than DSP powder chitosan capsule and its other dosage forms.Hence,it is worth studying further.
2. Toxic effects of polychlorinated biphenyls (Aroclor 1254) on human sperm motility
Asian Journal of Andrology 2017;19(5):561-566
Polychlorinated biphenyls (PCBs) are common environmental contaminants that represent a considerable risk to reproductive toxicity in exposed human populations. Although some experimental studies have suggested an association between the levels of PCBs and semen quality, the direct effects of PCBs on human sperm parameters remain largely unexplored. To this aim, a short-term in vitro incubation experiment that better imitated the putative exposure of sperm to Aroclor 1254 (a commercial PCB mixture) in male reproduction tissue was conducted. Human sperm were incubated with various concentrations (0, 1, 5, or 25 mg l-1) of Aroclor 1254 for different amounts of time (3 and 6 h) in vitro. Sperm motility parameters were analyzed with computer-assisted sperm analysis (CASA). The proportion of sperm with high mitochondrial membrane potential (ΔΨm) and the levels of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected to explore the probable cause of sperm impairment. Human sperm exposed to continuous Aroclor 1254 exhibited: (i) reduced sperm motility and kinematic parameters, (ii) a proportion of sperm with high ΔΨm that decreased in a dose-dependent manner (P < 0.05), and (iii) increased levels of ROS compared with controls (P < 0.05). In conclusion, Aroclor 1254 can decrease sperm motility, which may culminate in increased ROS and general mitochondrial dysfunction, thus affecting the fertilization potential of sperm. Our findings suggest a broader understanding of the effect of Aroclor 1254 on human sperm.

Objective To compare the effect of different sutures and suture method on corneal neovascularization ( CNV) in rabbit models. Methods NV was induced by placing sutures at the corneal periphery of rabbits (n = 45). To observe the NV status, 45 rabbits were randomly divided into 5 equal groups. Group A applied 8-0 absorbable suture (A1 single loop parallel suture, A2 single loop vertical suture). In group B, 10-0 nylon suture was used (B1 double loop parallel suture, B2 double loop vertical suture, B3 three loop radial suture). The development of CNV was observed with slit lamp microscope and photographed. Therefore the effective model for neovascularization induction was selected. Histological examination, immunofluorescent staining and ELISA analysis for the vascular endothelial growth factor( VEGF) were performed before suture, 7 and 14 days after suture. Results Sutures fell off and CNV gradually atrophied in group Al and A2; At the 14th day after suture, Sparse or short cluster CNV grew into the corneal margin in group B1 and B2, while CNV was vigorous and grew in bundles in group B3. The expression of VEGF in aqueous humor increased in B3 group after suturing, and increased in 14 days as compared with 7 days after suture. Corneal edema, neovascularization and little immunofluorescence staining for VEGF were detected in group B3 after 7 days suture. More neovascularization and immunofluorescence staining for VEGF were detected in group B3 after 14 days suture. Conclusion Corneal NV can be induced successfully in rabbit model by suturing. The method of 10-0 thread with three sets of circular seams (B3) is stable and effective.

Objective:
To explore the effects of intervention programs during primipara, using the Information-motivation-behavioral skills model (IMB) intervention model on initial exclusive breastfeeding.
Method:
206 women of primiparas who were registered to the top three hospitals were selected in Shandong province, 2018. These women were hospitalized in the obstetrics/gynaecology wards during the later periods. IMB model was used to support the intervention programs at the following stages: antenatal period, 1 day postpartum, 3-4 days postpartum and 42 days postpartum. Questionnaire regarding self-efficacy energy meter, knowledge and behavior related to breastfeeding, were used before and after the intervention programs.
Results:
Through intervention programs, statistically significant differences in breastfeeding self-efficacy scores between the four stages (

Objective To investigate the effects of self-made carriers on the cryopreservation of ovarian tissue of sheep. Methods Thirty-two ovaries were randomly assigned to fresh group,programmed freezing group,self-made carrier I vitrification group,and self-made carrier Ⅱ vitrification group.The morphology,proliferation,apoptosis,and estrogen level of the ovarian tissue in each group were observed. Results After cryopreservation,the morphology normal rate of the primordial follicles in programmed freezing group,self-made carrier I vitrification group,and self-made carrier Ⅱ vitrification group were 74.2%,72.8%,and 72.3%,respectively,lower than that(83.7%)in the fresh group(χ

The phenomenon of phase separation of intracellular biological macromolecules is an emerging research field that has received great attention in recent years. As an aggregation and compartment mechanism of cell biochemical reactions, it widely exists in nature and participates in important physiological processes such as gene transcription and regulation, as well as influences organism's response to external stimuli. Disequilibrium of phase separation may lead to the occurrence of some major diseases. Researchers in cross-cutting fields are trying to examine dementia and other related diseases from a new perspective of phase separation, exploring its molecular mechanism and the potential possibility of intervention and treatment. This review intends to introduce the latest research progress in this field, summarize the major research directions, biochemical basis, its relationship with disease occurrence, and giving a future perspective of key problems to focus on.

The coverage rate of HPV vaccination in China is still very low,and the main reason may be related to people's confusion about the choice of vaccine types,the best age of vaccination,vaccination procedures and prices and other factors.This paper briefly describes the etiology of cervical cancer,the approval of HPV vaccine,the application status of HPV vaccine in foreign countries,and the current situation and challenges in the use of cervical cancer vaccine in China,and advocates that obstetrics and gynaecology experts/disease control experts actively promote the prevention and control of cervical cancer,so that young girls and their parents understand the knowledge related to cervical cancer and HPV vaccine,and young girls can be vaccinated with HPV vaccine as early as possible,so as to improve the coverage rate of HPV vaccination and eliminate cervical cancer.
