Objective To study the effects of simulated gravity loss on nuclear factor Kappa-B expression in rats′ pulmonary tissue, and to investigate the mechanism of changes in NF-?B during simulated loss of gravity. Methods Tail-suspension(TS) was used as the method to simulate the physiological effects of weightlessness. 40 Wistar male rats Wistar rats were randomly divided into 4 groups: control for 7 days (7d CON), 21d CON, TS for 7d (TS7d) and TS21d. The dynamic express of nuclear factor Kappa-B in lung tissue was respectively assessed using the immunohisochemical technique. Results Compared with control group, the expression level of NF-?B in the lung tissue of tail-suspension 7d rats was elevated significantly (P

Objective To study the dynamic changes in calcineurin-? expression in lung tissue of rats under simulated weightlessness condition,and the influence of ligustrazine(tetramethylpyrazine) on the changes in its expression.Methods The rat model of simulated weightlessness condition was reproduced by suspending the rat by tail in-30?.Thirty healthy Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups(10 each): control group,suspended group(rat was suspended by tail for 7 days) and ligustrazine group(rat was suspended by tail and ligustrazine was given for 7days).In the ligustrazine group,the ligustrazine was gavaged in a dose of 1.5mg/kg(once a day).The expression of calcineurin-? in lung tissue was determined by immunohisochemistry and Western blotting.Results It was revealed by immunohisochemistry and Western blotting that the level of expression of calcineurin-? in lung tissue of the animals in suspended group was significantly higher that in control group and ligustrazine group(P0.05).Conclusion The level of expression of calcineurin-? in rat lung tissue may be increased obviously under the simulated microgravity condition,while ligustrazine treatment may down-regulate the calcineurin-? expression.

OBJECTIVE To compare commonly used antibiotics including cefotaxime,ceftazidime imipenem and meropenem inductivity to L1,L2 ?-lactamases from Stenotrophomonas maltophilia.METHODS RT-PCR method was used to determine the expression of L1,L2 ?-lactamases under the condition of different concentrations(1/4,1,4?MIC)of antimicrobial agents.Electrophoresis strip of L1,L2 ?-lactamases was quantified by software Image J.Minimal inhibitory concentrations(MICs)were detected by agar dilution method when different concentrations of antibiotics were as inductors.RESULTS Different concentrations of four antibiotics being used as inductors,electrophoresis strips of L1,L2 amplicons were not found in strains of blank control and those whose media had imipenem,meropenem or cefotaxime(4?MIC).The weaker electrophoresis strips were found in the isolates whose media had ceftazidime(1/4,1,4?MIC)or cefotaxime(1/4?MIC),but the strongest electrophoresis strips,the most quantities of expression and higher MICs were shown in the isolates whose media had cefotaxime(1?MIC)(P

Objective: A method for determination of glycyrrhizine and paeoniflorin in Fubao Danggui Jiao by RP HPLC was established.Methods: Shim pack CLC ODS column was used with TBAH solution (10→300) methanol (36∶64) (pH=6.0) as a mobile phase for glycyrrhizine and acetonitrile water (containing 0.1% phosphoric acid) (15∶85) as a mobile phase for paeoniflorin. The detection wavelength was at 254nm and 230nm, respectively. The flow rate was 1mL?min -1 .Results: A good linearity was found at the concentration range of 100 1000ng for glycyrrhizine and paeoniflorin. The average recovery was 98.37%,97.44% and the relative standard deviation was 0.32%,0.48%, respectively.Conclusion: This method was simple,accurate,rapid,sensitive and reproducible. The RP HPLC could be used for quality control of Fubao Danggui Jiao preparations.

Objective:To compare the prediction efficiency of traditional linear regression model and four machine learning models on the learning behavior of clinical medical postgraduates, and to explore the pros and cons and applicability of different prediction models.Methods:A total of 6,922 clinical medical postgraduates were surveyed, their comprehensive learning behavior scores were obtained through the learning behavior scale. In the training set, Lasso linear regression and artificial neural network, decision tree, Bootstrap random forest, and lifting tree were used to build prediction models respectively. The above models were used to predict the validation set data and compare the prediction efficiency.Results:The comprehensive learning behavior score of clinical medical postgraduates was (3.31±0.54) points, and the overall compliance rate was 74.02%. In the linear regression model, the influence of age, school level, degree type, learning interest, pressure and satisfaction on learning behavior were statistically significant. In the prediction of validation set, the sensitivity, specificity, and accuracy of the linear regression model were 0.484, 0.914, and 0.801, respectively. The indexes of the four machine learning models were higher than those of the traditional linear regression model, and the Bootstrap random forest had the highest elevation.Conclusion:The linear regression model has a good prediction effect on learning behavior, and machine learning is superior to linear regression model in terms of accuracy of prediction. However, traditional linear regression models are superior to machine learning models in computational efficiency and interpretability.

Objective To explore the impact of different doses of butylphthalide on renal interstitial fibrosis in mice with obstructive nephropathy, and to discuss the correlation between Nrf-2 expression level and renal interstitial fibrosis. Methods Totally 72 male CD-1 mice of clean grade were selected and randomly assigned into 4 groups:sham operation group (Sham), model group (UUO), low dose of butylphthalide group (NBPL) and high dose of butylphthalide group (NBPH). In addition to the control group, UUO model was established in other three groups. NBPL group was given NBP 150 mg/(kg· d) by gavage since postoperative day 1,NBPH group was given NBP 220 mg/(kg·d) by gavage. Sham group and UUO group were given equal volume of saline by gavage. Six mice were sacrificed at the third, 7th, 14th day, respectively. The obstructive renal tissue was selected for immunohistochemical staining and Western blot assay. The expression levels of Nrf- 2 and type Ⅰ collagen were detected by Western blot assay. Results The IOD value of type Ⅰ collagen was increased with time in UUO group, and which showed a gradual decreasing trend in Sham group, NBPL group and NBPH group (P<0.05). The IOD values at different time points were significantly higher in UUO group, NBPL group and NBPH group compared to those of Sham group. The IOD values were significantly decreased in NBPL and NBPH groups than that of UUO group, and IOD value was lower in NBPH group than that of NBPL group (P<0.05). Western blot assay showed that IOD values of Nrf-2 and type Ⅰ collagen at 7 d and 14 d were increased in UUO group, NBPL group and NBPH group compared with those of Sham group. The IOD values of Nrf-2 protein were increased, and IOD values of type Ⅰcollagen were decreased, in NBPL group and NBPH group than those of UUO group. The IOD value of Nrf-2 protein was decreased in NBPL group than that of NBPH group, but the IOD value of type Ⅰcollagen was increased in NBPL group than that of NBPH group (P<0.05). Conclusion NBP can improve renal interstitial fibrosis in UUO mice, which may be related with the increased expression of Nrf-2 and the down-regulated expression of type I collagen.

The radiobiological effect of 131I radiolabeled recombinant human epidermal growth factor (131I-rhEGF) on nude mice with human breast cancer was assessed in this study. The tissue mainly uptaking 131I-rhEGF was found by tissue distribution assay in mice. The radiation breakdown of the tissue greatly collecting 131I-rhEGF was examined by biochemical test and biopsy in nude mice with human breast cancer. The tissue distribution assay of 131I-rhEGF in mice showed that 131I-rhEGF greatly accumulated in kidney, liver, spleen and blood. The biochemical test and biopsy revealed that 131I -rhEGF injected twice (dosing once is analogous to 14.58 GBq in a person with 50 kg, once every 14 days) had an effective killing effect on tumor but had no effect of radiation breakdown on kidney, liver,spleen and blood-cell forming tissue in mice with human breast cancer. Therefore, 131I-rhEGF is a drug unharmful to normal tissues in the course of the receptor-mediated target radiotherapy for breast cancer.
