The rats were assigned to blank control group, classical induction group, and drynaria total flavonoid group. Whole bone marrow culture method was applied to isolate and purify rats bone mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs). Akaline phosphatase activity, calcium nodes, TGF-β1 and BMP-2 secretion in the process of bone mesenchymal stem cells osteogenic differentiation were detected. The results showed that compared to the blank group and classical group, drynaria total flavonoid promoted osteogenic differentiation accompanied with increased TGF-β1 and BMP-2 secretion (all P＜0. 05). Drynaria total flavonoid may promote osteogenic differentiation of BMSCs via upregulating TGF-β1 and BMP-2 expressions, and play an active role in the treatment of osteoporosis.

We analyzed the genetic characteristics of coxsackievirus A4 (CV-A4) based on the entire VP1 coding region. Samples were isolated from patients with acute flaccid paralysis (AFP) in Shaanxi, China from 2006 to 2010. We wished to ascertain the predominant genotype and the relationship between CV-A4 infection and AFP. Sixty-eight non-polio enteroviruses were inoculated onto RD cells (to increase the virus titer) and molecular typing was undertaken. The entire VP1 coding region was amplified. Percentage of CV-A4 was 10.3% (7/68). Analyses of genetic identify and creation of phylogenetic trees revealed that CV-A4 could be classified into A, B and C genotypes. Seven CV-A4 strains from Shaanxi and other CV-A4 strains from China formed an independent evolution lineage located in group 4 and belonged to the C2 sub-genotype. These data suggested that CV-A4 strains of sub-genotype C2 were the predominant genotypes in China. These strains co-evolved and co-circulated with those from other provinces in China, so continued monitoring of CV-A4 (by clinical and genetic surveillance) should be enhanced.

Objective To analysis the clinical features of dorsal pancreas agenesis ( DPA) and the associated diabetes, pancreatitis and other congenital organ malformations.Methods Chinese databases of Sinomed, CQVIP and CNKI using the term of short pancreas, pancreas agenesis, bulbar pancreas and dorsal pancreas, and English databases of PubMed using the term of dorsal pancreas agenesis, short pancreas and pancreas hypoplasia were searched.The clinical manifestation, pancreatic head characteristics and associations with diabetes, pancreatitis and other congenital organ malformations were analyzed.Results Six related publications from Chinese databases were searched and 21 patients were included with 2 cases excluded.Sixty-one publications from English database were searched and 71 patients were included.Thus, a total of 91 patients with DPA were analyzed.Abdominal pain was the most common manifestation, which was reported by 61.5% of the patients. 15.3% patients were identified during regular physical examination. Other manifestations including jaundice, fatigue, abdominal discomfort and diabetes were rare.After removing cases with insufficient information, 39 patients (61.9%) carried abnormal pancreatic head.Prevalence of diabetes or impaired glucose tolerance was 56.7% and the percentage of insulin-dependent diabetes in patients with abnormal glycaemia was 47.3%(n=18).20 patients (26.7%) were associated with pancreatitis, including 15 patients (75.0%) with acute pancreatitis, 1 patient (5.0%) with recurrent pancreatitis, and 4 patients (20.0%) with chronic pancreatitis. Thirty-three patients ( 36.2%) suffered other congenital organ malformations, including 21 patients (63.6%) with splenic malformation, 8 patients (24.2%) with heart malformation, and 17 patients (51.5%) with multi-organs malformations like gastrointestinal malformation, azygos vein and inferior cava vena fusion, duodenal and biliary atresia and renal absence.Conclusions The main diagnostic criteria of DPA was the absence of dorsal pancreatic duct.Diabetes was the most common complication followed by pancreatitis.

Objective To fully grasp the professional technical capabilities of provincial level radiological health technical institutions, and so as to provide the basis for giving full play to the role of provincial level radiological health technical institutions, exploring and planning the development direction of radiological health technical institutions in China. Methods From September to December, 2019, National Institute for Radiological Protection, China CDC issued questionnaires to 37 provincial level radiological health technical institutions. The basic situation of department setting, number and composition of professional and technical personnel, equipment and radiological health work of the institutions that undertake radiological health related responsibilities were investigated, summarized and analyzed. Results Thirty-seven provincial level institutions participated in this survey, including 24 centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 11 institutions for Occupational Disease Control and Prevention, and 2 other institutions related to radiological health.Most of the institutions were qualified for radiological health related testing or evaluation; Thirty institutions had set up independent radiological health departments. There were 627 people engaged in radiological health professional and technical work, 83.4% of whom were officially on the staffs, and 16.6% are contract staffs.The distribution of gender, age, qualifications, professional title and working years in the radiological health was relatively reasonable, but only 25.8% of the staffs had the radiological education background. From 2014 to 2018, the number of radiological health professional and technical personals inflows and outflows was 164 and 65, respectively. Each institution undertakes 14.6 radiological health responsibilities in average. The annual workload of provincial level institutions was large, but there were relatively few laboratories and instruments for radionuclide measurement and internal radiation measurement. Conclusion The provincial level radiological health technical institutions still need to strengthen the capability building and make up the short board, play the leading and guiding role in provincial regions, so as to promote the further development of the national radiological health work.

Objective:To investigate the effects of poly (ADP-ribose) polymerase-1(PARP-1) in intestinal mucosal barrier injury in rat model with severe acute pancreatitis (SAP).Methods:Twenty healthy male Wistar rats were divided into four groups ( n=5 each group) using a random table method: control, SAP, 3-aminobenzamide (3-AB), and 3-AB control groups. The SAP model was induced by intraperitoneal injection of cerulean with lipopolysaccharide. At 30 min, the rats were treated with the PARP-1 inhibitor, 3-AB, or normal saline,separately. After 12 h, all rats were sacrificed to harvest pancreas tissues, intestines tissues, and blood from the hearts for index detection. Serum amylase (AMY) and interleukin (IL)-6 levels were measured using an automatic biochemical instrument and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA), respectively.The protein expression of PARP-1 and nuclear factor (NF-κB) were measured using Western blot and that of occludin was measured using an immunohistochemical test. One-way analysis of variance was used for comparison of multiple groups of variables. Non-parametric tests of rank conversion were used when variances were not uniform. A P <0.05 was considered statistically significant. Results:Compared to the control group, the following indexes in the SAP group were significantly increased: ascites (with serious hemorrhage and necrosis in the pancreas and disordered intestinal villi),serum AMY and IL-6 levels, and the expression of PARP-1 and NF-κB. However, Occludin expression was significantly decreased. There was no significant difference between 3-AB group and 3-AB control group. Compared to the SAP group, the severity of SAP and pancreatitis-associated intestinal injury was significantly attenuated with the administration of 3-AB. Serum AMY and IL-6 levels were significantly decreased (serum AMY: 1 879.25 ± 736.6 U/L vs 5 569.33 ± 1993.48 U/L; IL-6: 77.98 ± 20.65 pg/mL vs 209.14 ± 79.08 pg/mL, both P<0.05), but the expression of PARP-1 and NF-κB were significantly increased (PARP-1: 1.44 ± 0.09 vs 1.49 ± 0.13; NF-κB: 0.63 ± 0.09 vs 0.96±0.08, both P<0.05). Similarly, Occludin expression was significantly decreased (6.7±1.5 vs 3.2±1.1, P<0.05). Conclusions:Inhibition of PARP-1 has protective effects on SAP associated intestinal mucosal barrier damage. The mechanism may be related to the inhibition of NF-κB signaling pathway and increase intestinal mucosal Occludin protein expression.
