Objective To investigate the indoor air pollution of chaffy dish restaurant using different kinds of fuels or utensils. Methods The concentration of carbon monoxide (CO),carbon dioxide (CO2) and inhalable particle (IP) were determined 30,60,90,120 and 150 minutes respectively before and after the chaffy dish restaurants were opened in Mar. 2006. Results Before the restaurants were opened,the concentrations of CO and CO2 except IP did not exceed the standard limits. After opened,the concentrations of CO,CO2 and IP in chaffy dish restaurants which use different kinds of fuels or utensils exceed the standard limits in different degrees except the concentration of CO in chaffy dish restaurant using the infrared utensil. The concentration of CO in chaffy dish restaurant that used charcoal as fuel was the highest and more than the standard limits by 7 times. The concentrations of CO,CO2 and IP in chaffy dish restaurants which used the infrared utensil were obviously lower than those in which used the common liquefied gas utensil. The concentration of CO in chaffy dish restaurants which used charcoal as fuel was obviously higher than those used liquefied gas utensils. Conclusion The indoor air pollution of chaffy dish restaurants is extremely severe and it has the potential harm to the health of the customers in restaurants.

Objective:To optimize the formulation of HA-CA liposomes and to study the anti-tumor effect of HA-CA liposomes on uterine cervical carcinoma mice.Methods:The methods of preparing HA-CA liposomes were screened,and the optimal fomulation was selected by the orthogonal design experiment with the the phospholipids/cholesterol ratio,the drug/lipids ratio and the pH value of PBS buffer was 7.4 as entrapment enfficiency was the index.The release of HA-CA liposomes was studyed by dialysis bag method.Uterine cervical carcinoma cells were inoculated subcutaneously into right axillary ofBal b/c mice,after continuous treatment of 14 d,we weighed the tumor and calculated the rate of tumor growth inhibition.Results:HA-CA liposomes were prepared by thin film hydration methods.The optimal parameters were as follows:the phospholipids/cholesterol ratio was 4∶1,the drug/lipids ratio was 1∶ 30,the pH value of PBS buffer was 7.4.The release curve of HA-CA liposome and CA liposome was basically the same,both of which a sustained-release efficacy.The cumulative release of HA-CA liposomes and CA liposomes were 78.39％ and 83.01％ at 48h.The inhibition rate of HA-CA liposomes on U14 cervical cancer mice was 60.39％ and significantly higher than that of positive control group,which was higher than that of CA and CA liposomes.Conclusions:HA-CA liposomes can significantly inhibit the effect of U14 cervical cancer nude mice higher than that of CA and CA liposomes owe to the modification of the active target ligand HA.

Cartoons were used in teaching of medical decision-making analysis course to analyze and reveal the connotations in different decision-making models according the difficulties of students in understanding the teaching decision-making models.The cartoons could effectively improve the understanding of abstract analysis model and the meaning of teaching analysis model in students because they could directly show the iterative and optimizing computation process in decision-making analysis, thus laying a solid foundation for the accurate analysis and ra-tional explanation of the results.Teachers should make full use of the visual cognition potential of students, and fo-cus their attention on the knowledge transmission and information exchange between teachers and students when they design the cartoons in order to improve the classroom teaching effect of teaching decision-making model.

Objective To investigate the mechanism and the effect of miR-524-5p regulating HEG1 expression on the proliferation and epithelial-mesenchymal transition of esophageal cancer cells. Methods The expression levels of miR-524-5p and HEG1 mRNA in esophageal cancer cells and normal esophageal epithelial cells were detected by qRT-PCR. KYSE30 cells were divided into miR-524-5p mimic group, miR-524-5p NC group, miR-524-5p mimic+pcDNA3.1 group, and miR-524-5p mimic+pcDNA3.1-HEG1 group. Non-transfected cells were set as the normal control group (group Control). CCK-8 method was applied to detect the proliferation ability of KYSE30 cells. Western blot analysis was conducted to detect the expression of proteins related to EMT, invasion, and migration and the HEG1 protein. Scratch and Transwell assays were applied to detect the migration and invasion abilities of KYSE30 cells. A dual-luciferase reporter gene was used to examine the targeting relationship between miR-524-5p and HEG1. Results miR-524-5p was lowly expressed in four esophageal cancer cell lines, namely, TE-1, KYSE30, KYSE150, and NEC (P < 0.05). KYSE30 cells with the lowest expression level were selected for subsequent experiments. HEG1 mRNA was highly expressed in four esophageal cancer cell lines (P < 0.05). The GEPIA database showed that HEG1 was highly expressed in esophageal cancer tumor tissues (P < 0.05). KYSE30 cells in the miR-524-5p mimic group had lower proliferation ability, colony formation number, mesenchymal marker protein expression, and migration and invasion abilities and upregulated epithelial marker protein E-cadherin level than cells in the miR-524-5p NC group (P < 0.05). The miR-524-5p mimic+pcDNA3.1-HEG1 group significantly reversed the inhibitory effect of overexpression of miR-524-5p on the proliferation, epithelial–mesenchymal transformation, invasion, and metastasis of KYSE30 cells (P < 0.05). The luciferase activity of cells in the miR-524-5p mimic and WT-HEG1 co-transfection groups was lower than that in the miR-524-5p NC and WT-HEG1 co-transfection groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion miR-524-5p is lowly expressed in EC cells and tissues. The overexpression of miR-524-5p can negatively regulate the expression of HEG1 in esophageal cancer cell line (KYSE30 cells) and reduce the proliferation, EMT process, and invasion and migration abilities of KYSE30 cells.

This experiment was aimed to shed light on the correlation and quantitative relationships between the width of bovine periodontal ligament (PDL) and the elastic modulus and, more over, between the width of bovine PDL and the capacity ratio of collagen fibers. The width and length of periodontal ligament of PDL were determined by stereomicroscope, and the elastic modulus by the materials testing systems. The collagen fibers in cross section of the specimen were stained with 1% Sirius Red F3B in saturated carbazotic acid, and the photo of stained PDL was collected by stereomicroscope. Image pro plus6.0 image analysis software was used to measure and calculate the capacity ratio of collagen fibers. It was found that there is a negative correlation between the width of bovine periodontal ligament and elastic modulus. The correlation coefficient is -0.21 and the simple linear regression model is Y = 71. 681-0.021x (Width of PDL); there is a positive correlation between capacity ratio of collagen fibers and elastic modulus. The coefficient correlation is 1.583 and the simple linear regression model is Y = -34.944 + 1.583x (The percentage of collagen fibers). Thus, the elastic modulus of bovine PDL increases while the width of bovine PDL decreases, and it increases while the capacity ratio of collagen fibers increases.

Objective To investigate the effect of thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH) on the expression of endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) and its mechanism in human microvascular endothelial cells (HMEC-1) in vitro culture.Methods Different concentrations of TSH (0,10,50 mIU/ml) were used to intervene HMEC-1.The expression of eNOS mRNA was detected with quantitative polymerase chain reaction (qPCR) method.The protein expressions of eNOS,phosphorylated protein kinase B (p-AKT),protein kinase B (AKT),phosphorylated extracellular signal-regulated kinase (P-ERK),and extracellular signal-regulated kinase (ERK) were determined with Western Blot.Results (1) The expression level of eNOS was significantly decreased by TSH in dose-dependent manner (P ＜ 0.05).(2) TSH could promote the phosphorylation of AKT and ERK (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Thyroid-stimulating hormone may inhibit the expression of nitric oxide synthase in human microvascular endothelial cells by activating AKT and ERK signaling pathways.

The pathological processes of neurodegeneration and neurodegenerative changes after traumatic brain injury (TBI) are closely related to microglia. The pathophysiological functions of microglia are closely correlated to their different cell subtypes. Disease-related microglia (DAM) are a special subtype of microglia, which recently discover on the lesions of degenerative diseases of the central nervous system. DAM are identified as important cells that induce neurodegeneration. The in-depth discussion of DAM role in pathological mechanism of neurodegeneration after TBI provides new clues for understanding and treating neurodegeneration after TBI; therefore, this article focuses on the above content and summarizes the research progress of DAM and neurodegeneration after TBI.

Interferon regulatory factor 1(IRF-1)is a member of the IRF family.It is the first transcription factor to be identified that could bind to the interferon-stimulated response element(ISRE)on the target gene and displays crucial roles in the interferon-induced signals and pathways.IRF-1,as an important medium,has all of the advantages of full cell cycle regulation,cell death signaling transduction,and reinforcing immune surveillance,which are well documented.Current studies indicate that IRF-1 is of vital importance to the occurrence and evolution of multifarious liver diseases,including but not limited to inhibiting the replication of the hepatitis virus(A/B/C/E),alleviating the progression of liver fibrosis,and aggravating hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury(HIRI).The tumor suppression of IRF-1 is related to the clinical characteristics of liver cancer patients,which makes it a potential indicator for predicting the prognosis and recurrence of liver cancer;additionally,the latest studies have revealed other effects of IRF-1 such as protection against alcoholic/non-alcoholic fatty liver disease(AFLD/NAFLD),cholangiocarcinoma suppression,and uncommon traits in other liver diseases that had previously received little attention.Intriguingly,several compounds and drugs have featured a protective function in specific liver disease models in which there is significant involvement of the IRF-1 signal.In this paper,we hope to propose a prospective research basis upon which to help decipher translational medicine applications of IRF-1 in liver disease treatment.
