By staging radiation pneumonitis’ syndrome and discussing the pathogenesis, the course of radiation pneumonitis is divided into acute phase, lag phase and anaphase. Acute phase is treated with clearing heat and resolving phlegm, cooling ying and nourishing yin; lag phase is treated with supplementing qi and nourishing yin, promoting blood circulation and resolving phlegm; anaphase is treated with nourishing lung and strengthening kidneys, resolving stasis and dredging collaterals.

Objective: To detect the novel apoptosis-related protein PDCD5 expression in granulosa cells of polysystic ovary syndrome(PCOS) and normal ovary, and explore the pathogenesis of PCOS. Methods:The granulosa cells were collected from 30 cases of PCOS and normal ovary in IVF-ET. Expression of PDCD5 was detected by flow cytometry; immunofluorescence and immunohistochemistry. Cell apoptosis was detected by Propidium Iodide (PI) staining. Results: The number of hypodiploidy cells associated with apoptosis in granulosa cells of PCOS was greater than that of the normal control. PDCD5 protein expression in PCOS granulosa cells was significantly higher than that in normal ovary(P

A new nested-polymerase chain reaction (nested-PCR) assay was developed to detect human parvovirus B19 DNA corresponding to the nonstructural protein in clinical specimens in a routine diagnostic laboratory. The sensitivity of this highly specific assay was up to 0.005 fg of B19 DNA. Parvovirus B19 was identified in sera of 20 pregnant women with abnormal pregnant outcome. Among these 20 cases, intrauterine parvovirus infection did exist in 7 pregnant women because parvovirus B19 DNA was detected in the pregnant tissues of them such as placenta tissues, chorionic villi, amniotic fluid, fetal spleen, liver and abdominal fluids.

The present study was to investigate the role of dopamine D1 receptors and its relationship with glutamate, N-methyl-D-aspartic acid (NMDA) receptor and α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methylisoxazole-4-propionic acid (AMPA) receptor in depression induced by chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS). CUMS-induced depression model was established in Sprague-Dawley rats, and intrahippocampal microinjections of D1 dopamine receptor agonist SKF38393, non-competitive NMDA receptor antagonist MK-801 and AMPA receptor antagonist NBQX were respectively adopted by rat brain stereotaxic coordinates. The behavioral observations were conducted by measurement of weight changes, sucrose preference test, open-field test and tail suspension test. The concentration of glutamic acid and the expression of its receptors' subunits were detected by HPLC and Western blot, respectively. The results showed that, compared with control group, CUMS rats showed depression-like behavioral changes, higher concentration of glutamic acid, lower expressions of NMDA receptor (NR1) and AMPA receptor (GluR2/3) in hippocampus. Pretreatment with injection of SKF38393 could rescue such depression effect of CUMS, decrease the concentration of glutamic acid, and increase the expressions of NMDA receptor (NR1), AMPA receptor (GluR2/3) in hippocampus. Pretreatment with MK-801 could enhance the antidepressant effect of SKF38393, while NBQX weakened. These results suggest that agonists of D1 dopamine receptor could reduce the concentration of glutamic acid in hippocampus, and its antidepressant effect may be mediated by AMPA receptor partially.

Phytoestrogens, which can bind with estrogen receptor and produce estrogen-like effects, are a kind of nonsteroidal compound in plant. Phytoestrogens chemically include isoflavones, coumarins, lignans and other compounds. Phytoestrogens are selective estrogen receptor modulator, and have therapeutical effects on breast cancer, prostate cancer, cardiovascular disease, menopausal symptoms, osteoporosis and other disease, however, do not produce stimulatory hyperplasia effects on uterus, mammary glands and other tissues and organs with positive estrogen receptor. Long-term exposure or excessive use of phytoestrogens maybe affects male reproductive system and hematopoietic function of fetus. Some questions need to be further studied, such as evaluation criteria on biological activity, adverse effects, and action mechanism of phytoestrogen. This review covers plant sources, chemical structure, pharmacological activity and safety of phytoestrogens. It will provide a useful reference for intensive research and rational utilization the phytoestrogens.

BACKGROUND: Numerous studies concerning dysferlin focus on muscle diseases (such as muscular dystrophy), but the relationship between membrane repair after exercise-induced muscle damage and dysferlin is little reported. OBJECTIVE: To observe the cell membrane permeability and expression levels of dysferlin and calpain3 in the rat gastrocnemius after acute eccentric exercise, so as to provide an theoretical reference for exploring the molecular mechanism of muscle regeneration and the exercise therapy of muscular diseases. METHODS: Thirty-two Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into four groups including control, 24, 48 and 72 hours post exercise groups. The membrane permeability and expression levels of dysferlin and calpain3 were determined by immunohistochemistry, western blot assay and qRT-PCR. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The activity of serum creatine kinase, and expression levels of calpain3 mRNA and dysferlin protein, as well as membrane permeability at 24 hours post exercise were significantly greater than those in the control group (P ＜ 0.05 or 0.01). The expression level of dysferlin mRNA at 24 and 48 hours post exercise was significantly higher than that at 72 hours post exercise (P ＜ 0.05). Therefore, the damage to the skeletal muscle cell membrane was the most severe at 24 hours after eccentric exercise. Due to Ca2+influx, expression of calpain3 mRNA was activated, and then the damaged cell membrane was repaired by increasing the expression of dysferlin.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the clinical application of bidirectional Glenn shunt without extracorporeal circulation(ECC) on treatment of children with complicated congenital heart disease (CHD).MethodsForty-six patients with complicated CHD(without ECC group) underwent bidirectional Glenn shunt without ECC,and 40 patients with complicated CHD (with ECC group) underwent bidirectional Glenn shunt with ECC.The therapeutic effect was compared between two groups.ResultsThere was no operative mortality in two groups.The pulmonary artery pressure in without ECC group was significantly lower than that in with ECC group [( 16.7 ± 1.2) mm Hg ( 1 mm Hg =0.133 kPa) vs.( 18.9 ± 1.0) mm Hg,t =4.686,P=0.026 ].Duration of respirator assistance after operation in without ECC group was significantly lower than that in with ECC group [ ( 12.2 ± 2.7) h vs.( 19.2 ± 2.8) h,t =2.972,P =0.041 ].There was no significant difference in saturation of blood oxygen and the rate of chylothorax after operation between two groups (P＞0.05).The symptoms and signs including cyanosis and breath were markedly alleviative in all patients.ConclusionBidirectional Glenn shunt without ECC is an effective and safe method for complicated CHD.

Objective To explore the relationship between sleep quality and quality of life in patients with type 2 diabetes. Methods Multi-stage randomized cluster sampling was used in the survey and self-designed questionaire , Pittsburgh sleep quality index scale , diabetes specific quality of life scale and self-rating depression scale were adopted. Results The poor sleep quality rate was 33.6%. Compared with the group with 6~8 h sleep duration, the scores of physical function,psychological dimension,social relations and quality of life were higher in patients with < 6 h sleep duration (P < 0.01).The average quality of life score was significantly higher among the sleep disorder participants than the other groups(56.95 ± 14.57 vs 50.11 ± 11.08 vs 44.77 ± 9.61,P<0.01). After adjusting for age, gender, complications, course of disease and depression, etc. The correlation coefficient of sleep quality and quality of life was 3.92. Among them , the sleep quality and physical dimensions of the correlation coefficient is the largest(r=0.407,P<0.01). Conclusions It can be an effective method of improving their status of life quality by ameliorating their sleep quality , especially for the physical dimension.
