Objective To investigate the shape and F-actin of human periodontal ligament fibroblasts(HPDLF) under different tension stress in vitro so as to learn the stress-biological effects of HPDLF. Methods HPDLF were cultivated for 6 passages and observed morphologically and identified by immunocytochemistry to be positive anti-vimentin and negative anti-keratin. HPDLF were divided into four groups: control (without tension stress), static tension stress (5 kPa), dynamic tension stress group 1 (5 to 0 to 5 kPa at the frequency of 3/min) and dynamic tension stress group 2 (5 to 2.5 to 5 kPa at the frequency of 3/min). The cells of each group were observed at the different time points of 16, 24, 32 h. The projection areas and shapes of cells as well as the structure of F-actin were examined by laser scanning confocal microscope and immunity fluorescence technique. The relationship among tension stress, time, shape and the structure of F-actin of HPDLF was analysed. Results In the dynamic tension stress group 1 and 2, the shape and the arrangement of F-actin of some HPDLF underwent regular changes at 16, 24 h, but the changes appeared to be obvious at 32 h. In the static tension stress group, it was found the increase of interspace of HPDLF, but no obvious changes in the structure of F-actin. Conclusion Different tension stress patterns had different effects on the shape and F-actin of HPDLF. Especially in the dynamic tension stress group 2, it showed direct ratio between the cell projection areas, the average fluorescence density and different loading time.

Objective To investigate the influence of illumination changes on the drosophila circadian rhythm and 24 h sleep time.Methods We collect the unmated fruit flies (a total of 128,single-sex) under CO2 anesthesia within 8 hours of eclosion.And put them into the group of normal light group,day and night reversed group,24 h light group and 24 h dark group with the simple random sampling method,male and female with 4 single-sex groups(n=32).Change the illumination conditions of the living environment of the fruit flies and use Drosophila Activity Monitoring System (DAMS) and Data Acquisition System (DAS),to observe and compare the changes of drosophila circadian rhythm and 24 h sleep time between the different illumination conditions.Results Compared with the normal light group,drosophila circadian rhythm of the day and night reversed group was significantly reversed,the number of fruit flies' activities of 24 h light group was increased,and circadian rhythm was decline,drosophila circadian rhythm of the 24 h dark group is still there,but frequent activity appears during the day,and the 19 : 00 activity peak disappears.Conclusion The drosophila circadian rhythm and 24 h sleep time changes with illumination conditions change.

It also discussed NIRS acquired oxygen saturation (SaO2) and its relevant means and methods for information quantification ofqi-deficiency. The accurate obtained SaO2 value was applied in the association with the strength of chest distress in the subjective sensation due toqi-deficiency. According to current data, the normal value,qi-deficiency degree and uncomfortable degree of subjective sensation among patients of different altitudes and ages were summarized. It can be applied to assist TCM physicians in the quick quantification of qi-deficiency.

Aim To investigate the effect of 96 h paradoxical sleep deprivation(PSD) on learning & memory ability of rats and the concomitant gene expression change in the rat hippocampus.Methods PSD model was established by Modified Multiple Platform Method(MMPM).Learning and memory ability of the PSD model was assessed through hexagonal maze compared with the control, and the gene expression in hippocampus of each group was detected by gene chip technology.After that, GO and KEGG enrichment analysis were applied to determine the changes of the gene expression in PSD model compared with the control.Results PSD affected the memory consolidation process in rats.The gene chips showed that 100 genes expressed differently in the hippocampus of PSD model compared with the control, and among them, 25 genes were up-regulated and 75 genes down-regulated.The up-regulated genes mainly involved in cell growth and differentiation, learning and memory, inflammation, oxidative stress, and biological processes such as synaptic transmission, while the down-regulated genes mainly involved in immune response, central nervous system development, synaptic transmission, metabolism, signal transduction, neurotransmitter secretion, cell apoptosis, and so on.KEGG analysis showed that genes differentially expressed mainly involved in cGMP-PKG, metabolism, NF-kappa B and Pathways in cancer, and so on.Conclusion In rats, PSD leads to memory deficit, as well as a variety of gene expression changes in hippocampus of the PSD model.

Objective:To investigate the effect of myopia on retinal vascular geometry in young subjects.Methods:A retrospective cross-sectional study. From June 2018 to December 2018, 235 participants (235 eyes) who took part in routine physical examination in Huadong Sanatorium were included. There were 94 males and 141 females; age was (34.89±6.15) years old; equivalent spherical refraction (SE) was (-3.78±3.25) D. 59 (25.11%, 59/235) were divided into high myopia group (SE≤-6.0 D), along with 131 (55.74%, 131/235) low to moderate myopia group (-0.5 D> SE>-6.0 D), and 45 (19.15%, 45/235) emmetropia group (0.5 D≥SE≥-0.5 D). Retinal vascular geometric measurements, including central retinal arteriolar equivalent (CRAE), central retinal venular equivalent (CRVE), fractal dimension arteriole (FDa), fractal dimension venule (FDv), curvature tortuosity arteriole (CTORTa), curvature tortuosity venule, branch angle arteriole (BAa), branch angle venule, branch coefficient arteriole and branching coefficient venule, were extracted by using a validated computer program. One-way analysis of variance and analysis of covariance were performed to compare the measurements across the high myopia, low to moderate myopia, and emmetropia groups. Linear regression analysis was used to explore the relationship between SE and retinal vascular geometric parameters.Results:The differences in CRAE ( F=65.11), CRVE ( F=61.52), FDa (F=14.26), FDv ( F=8.31), CTORTa ( F=5.07) and BAa (F=6.51) among eys of high myopia group, low to moderate myopia group and emmetropia group remained significant ( P<0.05) after adjusting for age, glycosylated hemoglobin, mean arterial pressure, body mass index, and intraocular pressure. CRAE and CRVE were linearly correlated with the SE ( P<0.05). FDa, FDv, cTORTa and BAa decreased with the decrease of SE in high myopia ( P<0.05). Conclusions:Myopia is associated with the change of the retinal vascular geometric characteristics. With the deepening of myopia, the change of retinal vascular geometric characteristics gradually worsens.

Objective:To explore the value of growth differentiation factor 15 (GDF15) in the early diagnosis of acute chest pain.Methods:A total of 96 patients with acute chest pain admitted to the Emergency Department of Hainan Hospital of PLA General Hospital from January to November 2020 were retrospectively collected. The sex, age, troponin T, creatine kinase, creatine kinase isoenzyme, GDF15 and B-type natriuretic peptide of patients within 30 min after admission were recorded, and the differences of each index in different groups were compared. ROC curve was drawn to evaluate the diagnostic value of GDF15 and TNT/BNP in acute coronary syndrome (ACS). The Gensini score, left ventricular ejection fraction, length of stay in hospital and the number of stents were calculated, and the correlation between these indexes and GDF15 concentration was evaluated.Results:The general trend of acute chest pain was more male than female (72.92% vs. 27.08%) , the oldest group was the UA group (64.67 ± 13.87) years old , the youngest group was cardiac arrest group (47.29 ± 9.99) years old . There were higher rates of hypertension in the STEMI group, NSTEMI group and UA group, and none of the groups showed significant advantage in diabetes. The GDF15 concentration was higher in ACS related chest pain group [(2.360 ± 1.710) ng/mL vs. (1.380 ± 1.040) ng/mL, P<0.01]. The area under the Receiver Operating Characteristic Curve (AUC) of GDF15 combined with TNT was up to 0.863. GDF15 concentration was negatively correlated with ejection fraction, positively correlated with Gensini score, positively correlated with the number of stents implanted, and positively correlated with the length of hospital stay. Conclusions:GDF15 is valuable in the diagnosis and prognosis of acute chest pain. The combination of GDF15 and TNT can improve the diagnostic rate of ACS.
