Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint thread-embedding in treating premature ovarian failure.Method By following the visiting or admission sequence, 35 patients were randomized into a treatment group (acupoint thread-embedding group) and a control group (Western medication group). The therapeutic efficacy, and the levels of follicle stimulation hormone (FSH), luteinizing hormone (LH) and estradiol (E2) before and after the treatment were observed.Result After the treatment, the recovery rate and total effective rate were respectively 44.4% and 72.2% in the treatment group, significantly different from 0.0% and 52.9% in the control group (P<0.05). The level of serum E2increased significantly in both groups after the treatment (P<0.01); the serum FSH dropped significantly in both groups with a more significant efficacy in the treatment group, and the change after the treatment was extremely statistically significant in the treatment group (P<0.01) and the change after the treatment in the control group was statistically significant (P<0.05); after the treatment, the serum LH presented a tendency to decline but without a statistical significance (P>0.05).Conclusion Acupoint thread-embedding can produce a satisfactory efficacy in treating premature ovarian failure.

Objective To establish appropriate correction models of serum marker α -fetoprotein (AFP) multiple of the median (MOM) for prenatal screening on patients with neural tube defect (NTD) at the second trimester to replace the foreign data currendy used in Beijing with a higher sensitivity.Methods A sample of 5815 mid-gestation pregnant women with normal pregnancy outcome were selected including 5557 cases of age ＜ 35 years and 258 cases of age ≥35 years.The regression relationship between AFP median and gestational age was builded by exponential model and the regression relationship between MOM and weight was builded by power model in age ＜ 35 years.The regression relationship between AFP median and gestational age was builded by S model and the regression relation ship between MOM and weight was builded by quadratic model in age ≥35 years.The normal reference values in two age sections were estimated approximately by percentiles method.Results Corrected AFP MOM values with mean value (age ＜ 35 years:1.001; age ≥35 years:1.113) and median value (age ＜ 35 years:0.934;age ≥35 years:0.990) obtained by regression analysis were more close to 1.00 than the data from the software[mean value(age ＜ 35 years:1.164; age ≥35 years:1.254) and median value (age ＜35 years:1.093; age ≥35 years:1.149)].There were significant differences (age ＜35 years:t =65.120,P =0.000;age ≥35 years:t =9.812,P =0.000).Conclusion Correction model for maternal serum marker is more applicable for Beijing population at the second-trimester prenatal screening.

Objective To investigate the influence of obesity on renal lesion in IgA nephropathy (IgAN) patients by analyzing the association between obesity and absolute renal risk factors (ARR).Method Clinical-pathological data of IgAN patients diagnosed by renal biopsy in General Hospital of Ningxia Medical University were collected retrospectively.According to the body mass index (BMI),patients were divided into non-obese group (BMI ＜ 28,N-OB group) and obese group (BMI≥28,OB group).Their clinical characteristics,pathological index and ARR scores were compared.The relationship of BMI and ARR was analyzed by ordinal logistic regression models.Results (1) A total of 674 IgAN patients with mean age of 35.5+ 11.3 years were enrolled,including 94 in OB group and 580 in N-OB group respectively.Compared with those in the N-OB group,the proportion of male,age,mean arterial pressure,blood uric acid,blood triglyceride,diabetes mellitus and hypertension increased in OB group (all P ＜ 0.01).Patients in OB group had lower estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) and higher ARR score than those in N-OB group (all P ＜ 0.05).(2) More severe thickening renal small artery wall and hyaline degeneration were observed in the OB group than in the N-OB group (all P ＜ 0.01).There was no statistical difference between the two groups in Lee classification,Oxford classification,mesangial cell proliferation,glomerular sclerosis,crescent formation,renal tubular atrophy,interstitial inflammatory cell in filtration and endothelial cell proliferation.(3) After adjusting for age,sex,blood uric acid,serum albumin,eGFR,low density lipoprotein,glomerular sclerosis,interstitial inflammatory cell infiltration,renal tubular atrophy and vascular wall thickening,BMI was still an independent risk factors for ARR in IgAN patients (OR=1.09,95％ CI 1.03-1.14).Conclusions BMI is an independent risk factors for ARR in IgAN patients.Early prevention and control of obesity and its associated risk factors may improve outcomes of IgAN patients.

Objective Traditional nasolacrimal duct stenting possesses some shortcoming including difficulty of pulling ball head guide wire from the nasal cavity with turbinate hypertrophy and nasal septal deviation. The new method of nose-oral tube track establishment can overcome the forementioned and increase the successful rate. Methods 5 F catheter and arterial sheath were modified to be nasolacrimal duct stent delivery device respectively. Antegrade dacryocystography was taken firstly to display the obstructed site and followed by the modified protocol of inserting the guide wire through nasolacrimal duct and nasal cavity, and establishing the stent delivery track for retrograde stent placement. Results 5 epiphora patients with failure implantation by traditional method were all succeeded through the modified stenting(100%). During 6-mouth follow-up, no serious complications and reocclusion occurred. Conclusion The establishment of eye-nose-mouth-nose of external nasal guide wire track can improve the successful rate of nasolacrimal duct stenting.

Objective To investigate the dynamic level changes and significance of triggering receptor expressed on myeloid cells-1 (TREM-1) in the injury brain tissues of rats caused by pneumolysin (PLY).Methods Sixty-four SD rats were randomly and equally divided into PLY group and control group,0.1 mL PLY and isopyknic normal saline was given through left internal carotid artery respectively.Brain tissue gross and histological changes were observed at different time(4 h,6 h,12 h,24 h),meanwhile the expression levels of neurocyte damage marker glial fibrillary acidic protein (GFAP) and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) protein were detected by immunohistochemistry;and the expression levels of TREM-1,tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and interleukin-6 (IL-6) were detected respectively by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results The observation of brain tissue gross and histological changes indicated the existence of brain injury,and the expression levels of GFAP,NSE,TNF-α and IL-6 protein increased from 4 h after PLY were injected and augmented dynamically as time went on,compared with the control group at corresponding time points,the differences were statistically significant (all P ＜ 0.05).The level of TREM-1 in the PLY group reached a peak at the 4 h time point,but decreased somewhat at the 6 h time point,the level of TREM-1 was still higher than that in control group,the differences were statistically significant(all P ＜ 0.05).However,the level of TREM-1 in the PLY group declined obviously at 12 h and 24 h time points,compared with that in control group,there were no significant differences (all P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions The expression levels of TREM-1 up-regulated obviously in the early stage of brain damage induced by PLY,which might be involved in the pathological process of brain damage by promoting the expression of TNF-α and IL-6.

Taxol is one of the most potent anti-cancer agents, which is extracted from the plants of Taxus species. Isopentenyl diphosphate isomerase (IPI) catalyzes the reversible transformation between IPP and DMAPP, both of which are the general 5-carbon precursors for taxol biosynthesis. In the present study, a new gene encoding IPI was cloned from Taxus media (namely TmIPI with the GenBank Accession Number KP970677) for the first time. The full-length cDNA of TmIPI was 1 232 bps encoding a polypeptide with 233 amino acids, in which the conserved domain Nudix was found. Bioinformatic analysis indicated that the sequence of TmIPI was highly similar to those of other plant IPI proteins, and the phylogenetic analysis showed that there were two clades of plant IPI proteins, including IPIs of angiosperm plants and IPIs of gymnosperm plants. TmIPI belonged to the clade of gymnosperm plant IPIs, and this was consistent with the fact that Taxus media is a plant species of gymnosperm. Southern blotting analysis demonstrated that there was a gene family of IPI in Taxus media. Finally, functional verification was applied to identify the function of TmIPI. The results showed that biosynthesis of β-carotenoid was enhanced by overexpressing TmIPI in the engineered E. coli strain, and this suggested that TmIPI might be a key gene involved in isoprenoid/terpenoid biosynthesis.

Objective To establish a headspace GC method for the determination of residual organic solvents in testosterone cypionate. Methods The residual organic solvents were determined by GC with DB-WAX capillary colum(30 m× 0. 32 mm,0. 25 μm)and FID detector at 230℃,using high purity nitrogen as the carrier gas by headspace sampling. The flow rate was 1. 5 mL·min-1 ,the split ratio was 20:1,the temperature of injection port was 220℃,the headspace heating temperature was 70 ℃,and the headspace balance time was 40 mins. The content of residues was calculated by using n-propanol as the internal standard. Results Four residual solvents were completely separated. There were good linearity for m-ethanol,ethanol,benzene and pyridinein in the ranges of 4. 17-2. 50×103 μg·g-1(R=0. 999 9),4. 18-2. 51×103 μg·g-1(r=0. 999 6),0. 84-172 μg·g-1 (r=0. 998 1),and 2. 95-1. 77×103μg·g-1(r=0. 999 9),respectively. The detection limit was 2.08,1. 23,0.28,and 0. 87 μg·g-1,respectively. The average recovery of methanol,ethanol,benzene and pyridinein was 102. 2%(RSD=4. 0%),99. 6%(RSD=1. 9%),112. 6(RSD=5. 6%),and 98. 9%(RSD=1. 6%),respectively. Conclusion This method is reliable,sensitive, accurate and can be used for the determination of residual organic solvents in testosterone cypionate.

Objective To exoplore the causes in healing difficulties of osteoporotic fracture, and to study the feasible approaches and methods for clinical treatment of osteoporotic fracture. Methods Forty female Sprague-Dawley rats, used as donor animals, were divided randomly into ovariectomized (OVX) group and control (CON) group, with each group of 20 animals. OVX group was subjected to bilateral ovariectomy and CON group was subjected to sham operation. Four months after surgery, the rats were sacrificed, and long bones of the extremities were harvested respectively for preparation of bone matrix gelatin (BMG) in terms of Urist's method. BMG implants obtained from OVX and CON rats were implanted into left and right femoral muscle pouches respectively of 17 female SD rats. The host rats were killed after 14-day feeding, and tissue block of BMG implants were removed for histologic study, alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity, and calcium content (CA) determination, respectively. Results ALP activity of BMG tissue block from OVX group was (7.22? 2.59)U/g, and that from CON group was (12.01?6.18)U/g. Significant difference was found between the two groups (P
