An examination was conducted with holographic stereopsis test instrument on the stereoscopic vision function of 341 military personnel in different services. 94.7 percent of the total examined enjoyed normal stereopsis acuity. The pilots obtained the far most satisfactory result. One hundred percent of them were up to normal standard in terms of both far and near visions and stereopsis acuity. Meanwhile, 94.6 percent of the vehicle drivers examined also had normal stereopsis acuity. This percentage was higher compared with 83.78 percent of the civilian personnel of the same occupation. The above results indicate that the stereopsis function of personnel in military services is in good condition, and such examination is very effective and necessary as part of the physical examinations in conscription to assure the standard of the service men.

Objective:The different subtypes of voltagE-gated sodium channels (VGSCs) are known to correlate with the migration of many malignant cancers. This study was to investigate the significance of functional expression of SCN5A/Nav1.5 in human ovarian cancer and its effects on migration capability of ovarian cancer cells in vitro. Methods: Sodium indicator SBFI and immunofluorescence method were used to detect the distribution of intracellular Na+. Real-time PCR, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of SCN5A/Nav1.5. The effect of specific voltagE-gated sodium channels inhibitor tetrodotoxin (TTX) on cell viability was measured by CCK-8 kit. The migration and invasion of ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV-3 were tested by Transwell chamber assay. Results:SCN5A/Nav1.5 were over-expressed in ovarian cancer cell lines SKOV-3 and ovarian cancer specimens at mRNA and protein levels. TTX 30 μmol/L inhibited the intracellular Na+ concentration by (41.51±0.41)%. TTX also suppressed the invasion and migration capacities of SKOV-3 cells by (33.80±1.6)% and (43.60±2.9)%, respectively. The difference was significant (P<0.05). Conclusion:SCN5A/Nav1.5 is involved in the metastasis progression of ovarian cancer in vitro and plays an important role in the initiation and progression of ovarian cancer. It may become a target for ovarian cancer therapy.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effects of Tongyushu capsules on dysmenorrhea. Methods:With the intravenous injection of oxytocin in rats, the influence of Tongyushu capsules on rat uterine smooth muscle was observed in vivo. With the intraper-itoneal injection of oxytocin to replicate the mouse model of dysmenorrhea, the effect of Tongyushu capsules on dysmenorrhea was ob-served. Using acetic acid writhing method, the effect of relieving pain Tongyushu capsules in mice was observed. By the method of ear swelling induced by xylene in mice, the anti-inflammatory effect of Tongyushu capsules was observed. By the method of ice water bath and subcutaneous injection of adrenaline, the influence of Tongyushu capsules on the acute blood stasis model in rats was observed. Results:Compared with those of the model group, the contraction of uterine smooth muscle of the groups treated with Tongyushu cap-sules at various dosage was decreased obviously (P<0. 05), the number of body torsion reaction induced by oxytocin and acetic acid in mice was obviously decreased in 15 min (P<0. 05), the degree of ear swelling in mice treated with Tongyushu capsules was signifi-cantly reduced (P<0. 05), and the whole blood viscosity, plasma viscosity, hematokrit, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and erythro-cyte electrophoresis time were significantly decreased (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Tongyushu capsules have obvious effects of the inhibi-tion of excessive contraction of uterine smooth muscle, dysmenorrhea alleviation, anti-inflammation and relieving pain, which show good therapeutic effect on dysmenorrhea.

Objective To explore and develop methods for encephalomyocarditis virus (EMCV) identification.Methods According to the genetic sequence VR-129B of EMCV recorded in the GenBank,five gene fragments were selected to design primer sequence pairs.RNA was extracted to run RT-PCR,and then the products of amplification were identified by agarose gel electrophoresis.The results of DNA sequences were compared with the sequences in GenBank of the same EMCV strains.Antiserum was prepared based on the EMCV cultured in RK cells for establishing indirect immunofluorescence assay (IIFA) and neutralization test method,and verification for precision and specificity of the two methods were carried out after it.Antiserum that was prepared with GST-VP1 and GST-VP2 expressed in E.coli was reacted with the purified EMCV in Western blot test.Results By sequencing and comparing,the similarity of DNA fragments between the obtained and the GenBank recorded was reached 98% to 100%.The antiserum of No.20100901 batch that was chosen as the first antibody at a dilution of 1 ∶ 160 to develop IIFA brought about a better specificity.The neutralization titers of 20100901 batch antiserum was 1 ∶ 30 211 measured by fixing virus and diluting serum method,which showed good specificity and precision.The results of the Western blot test showed two clear bands above and under 33×103 respectively,which matched the theoretical value.Conclusion The RT-PCR,indirect immunofluorescence,neutralization test and Western blot method for EMCV strains identification were established initially.

Objective To investigate the role of inflammatory cytokines in the pathogenesis of chronic non-bacterial prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CAP/CPPS) patients. Methods The 38 cases with CAP/CPPS patients (18 cases of CAP and 20 cases of CPPS) and 20 cases of healthy controls were selected. The differential expressions of 40 kinds of inflammatory cytokines were detec-ted by antibody arrays in prostate fluid. Results The inflammatory cytokines which increased more than 1.5 times expression have been found. There were seven kinds in CAP including monocyte che-moattractant protein (MCP)-1, solution tumor necrosis factor receptor Ⅱ(s TNF R Ⅱ), platelet-de-rived growth faetor-BB (PDGF-BB), interleukin (IL)-β, IL-11、IL-6、MCP-2 and five kinds in CPPS groups including MCP-1、PDGF-BB、MCP-2、s TNF R Ⅱ、It-11 respectively, compared with healthy control group. The cluster analysis results showed that protein expression of Monocyte chemoattrac-tant protein 1 (MCP-1)and platelet-derived growth factor BB (PDGF-BB) were significantly increased in CAP (3.47 and 2.07 times) and CPPS (2.25 and 2.19 times) compared with healthy control group and were the final polymerization of inflammatory cytokines. The protein expression of interleukin 1 β (IL-1 β), MCP-1 and soluble tumor necrosis factor Ⅱ (s TNF R Ⅱ) in CAP group was increased more than 1.85,1.55,1.67 times compared with CPPS group. Conclusions Elevated expression of inflammatory cytokines may play an important role in the course of CAP/CPPS disease. The extent of the inflammatory response of CAP was higher than CPPS. The inflammatory factors of MCP-1 and PDGF-BB could serve as a novel diagnostic marker.

Objective To analyze the relationship between biochemical level and severity levels and clinical,duration of disease in patients with Parkinson Disease (PD).Methods 69 patients with PD and 69 healthy persons of similar sex and age were selected in the research.Serum uric acid and lipids levels were examined and compared.Results The serum uric acid,triglycerides,total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) were (322.48 ± 66.18) μmol/L,(1.22 ± 0.86) mmol/L,(4.70 ± 0.92) mmol/L and (3.00 ± 0.85) mmol/L in control group,and (384.23 ± 88.28) μmol/L、(1.64 ± 0.94) mmol/L、(5.37 ± 1.31) mmol/L、(3.53 ± 1.03) mmol/L in control group.The differences are significant (t =-4.68,P =0.000;t =-2.74,P =0.007;t =-2.74,P =0.007;t =-3.49,P =0.001;t =-3.27,P =0.001).Serum UA concentration and high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C),LDL-C were lower in patients with Parkinson's disease in duration of disease more than 3 years than those in duration of disease less than 3 years (t =3.373,P =0.001;t =2.440,P =0.017).The serum UA levels of any stages of PD patients were lower than the control group (P < 0.05) according to Hoehn-Yahr staging.All lipid levels in early and middle stage PD disease patients were lower than those in control group (P < 0.05).Serum UA,total cholesterol and HDL-C in female PD patients were (305.69 ± 54.25) μmol/L,(4.99 ± 0.95) mmol/L,(1.25 ± 0.27) mmol/L,and (339.76 ± 73.40) μmol/L,(4.41 ± 0.81) mmol/L,(1.06 ± 0.19) mmol/L in male patients.The difference is significant (t =2.198,P =0.031;t =-2.721,P =0.008;t =-3.266,P =0.002).Multivariate logistic regression models assessed lower uric acid concentrations is the risk of PD (OR =1.01,95% CI 1.004 ~ 1.015,P =0.001).Conclusion Biochemical level changed differently in Parkinson disease and uric acid reduction could be a risk factor for PD.
