Objective To introduce a rapid spot test method for nitrite in water to meet the urgent need of nitrite monitoring during accidental pollution. Methods According to the drinking water legislation in Europe (threshold: 0.10 mg/L NO2-), a rapid spot test method for nitrite in water was established by using an optimized composition of reagent mixture and a binary positive/negative response, conducted as follows: a tablet of a mixture of solid reagents containing sulfanilamide, N-(1-naphthyl) ethylene diamine dihydrochloride and sodium chloride was put on a spot test plate of Teflon mould, then, a drop of 30%(V/V) HCl and a drop of water sample were added on the reagent material. Results Under these conditions, all the test samples containing ≥0.10 mg/L NO2- can produce a positive response of the characteristic red-purple color, whereas, the samples will produce a negative response when the level of NO2- was below the limit. The results of real water samples determined with this new method were confirmed by using the photometric method based on the use of the same reagents. Conclusion The method is simple, rapid , accurate, and suitable for field monitoring of nitrite in water.

Objective: To compare the differences in gene expression between murine intestine intraepithelial lymphocytes (iIELs) and splenic T lymphocytes, establishing the cDNA subtractive library of iIELs, analyzing the iIELs special genes. Methods: The iIELs and splenic T lymphocytes were isolated by density gradient in Percoll and nylon column respectively. cDNA subtractive library of iIELs was established by improved subtractive hybridization. The cDNA was ligated with a different adaptor. After 2 rounds of hybridization and suppression PCR amplification, the PCR products were directly inserted into the plasmid vectors. The ESTs special for iIELs were screened by reverse Northern blot. Results: Fifty ESTs with obvious difference in the cDNA subtractive library of iIELs were screened. These ESTs were squenced and submitted to Genebank. The ESTs were analyzed through BLAST, and 14 genes special for iIELs were obtained. These genes were associated with the pattern recognition of pathogen, cytokine signal transduction and proteinase inhibitors. Conclusion: iIELs are important components of intestine natural immunity, it can recognize the conservative antigens of bacteria and can be affected by cytokines and proteinase inhibitors, leading to unique cellular behavior--more resting and less activation.

The balanced scorecard, a new performance management tool used by enterprises, transcends the traditional assessment method of measuring an enterprise only from the financial perspective and renders it possible to view an enterprise simultaneously from four perspectives: financial, customer, internal process, and learning and growth. The balanced scorecard, which can also be used in the medical and health field, enables the hospital to continuously improve performance so as to realize its vision and strategic goals. The paper gives an account of the concept, development steps and principles of the balanced scorecard and its application in hospital strategic management, thus identifying a new channel for hospital development.

Objective To explore the mechanism of Shenkangwan in preventing the development of diabetic nephropathy(DN)through TGF-?1/Smad signaling pathway.Methods The diabetic rat models were established by intraperitoneal injection of streptozotocin(STZ)in male Wistar rats and randomly divided into 3 groups:model control group,Capoten group and Shenkangwan group.Another 8 normal Wistar rats served as normal control.After the rats had been treated for 8 weeks,the mRNA expressions of fibronetin(FN)and TGF-?1 were detected by RT-PCR and the protein expressions of Smad 2,Smad 3 by immunohistochemistry in the renal tissues.Results During the past 8 weeks,the blood glucose of the rats in the model control group was all over 16.7 mmol/L and they exhibited the symptoms of diabetes mellitus,such as excessive thirsty,extreme hunger,frequent urination and unusual weight loss.The mRNA expressions of FN and TGF-?1 in rat renal tissues of model control group were significantly higher than those in the rats of normal control group(P

Objective: To investigate the effect of hypoxia/reoxygenation on endoplasmic reticulum stress in cultured neonatal rat cardiomyocytes. Methods: Neonatal rat cardiac myocytes in primary culture were exposed to hypoxia for 5.5 hours and subsequently reoxygenation for 2-24 hours. Western blot and RT- PCR were applied to monitor the expression change of GRP78(glucose regulated protein 78). 2-deoxy-D-glucose(2-DG) was the positive control of this study. Then Western blot and RT- PCR were used to examine the expression of GRP78. Results: Cell viability was decreased obviously after hypoxia/reoxygenation. Compared with untreated cells, the GRP78 content of the cells had increased significantly in the hypoxia/reoxygenation cells. The level of GRP78 protein and mRNA elevated from the points of 2 hours to 24 hours after reoxygenation, and increased most obviously at the point of 4 hours after reoxygenation.(4 hours: protein level 142% of the control, mRNA level 200%). 2-DG could induce the increasing expression of GRP78 in a concentration-dependent manner from 10-50 mmol/L. Conclusion: Hypoxia/reperfusion can induce endoplasmic reticulum stress in rat cardiomyocytes.

Objective To investigate the hysteromyoma treated with the gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist(GnRH-a)and the impact on immunologic function.Methods 130 cases selected from the patients with hysteromyoma enrolled from January 2016 to December 2016 in hospital have been randomly divided into two groups.The control group has been treated with mifepristone while the study group GnRH-a.Results The sizes of uterus and myoma of both groups have no significant difference before treatment.After treatment, both of them are significantly improved, and those of the study group is significantly smaller than that of the control group(P<0.05).The levels of serum sex hormone and immunologic function of both groups have no significant difference before treatment.They are both improved after treatment, and the study group is significantly better than the control group(P<0.05).Conclusion Applying GnRH-a therapy to the patients with uterine myoma benefits for improving the therapeutic effect, which can improve the serum sex hormone levels and immunologic function.

Objective To investigate the relationship between omentin-1 and Coronary heart disease in different glucose tolerance populations. Methods Serum omentin-1 levels were determined by ELISA in 143 subjects with normal glucose tolerance,impaired glucose tolerance with CHD, type 2 diabetes mellitus with CHD. The relationships between omentin-1 and waist- to-hip ratio, body mass index (BMI), blood Glucose, serum insulin,HOMA-IR and blood fat were also explored.Coronary artery stenosis was screnned by coronary interventional angiography and assessed by Gensini scoring system. Results Serum omentin-1 levels were all lower in T2DM and IGT subjects than those in control subjects (P<0.01). Serum omentin-1 was correlated positively with high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (P < 0.01),and inversely with body mass index,waist-hip ratio,diastolic blood pressure, triglyceride,fasting blood glucose,fasting insulin,HbA1c,[w1]and insulin resistance(HOMA-IR)(P<0.05 or P <0.01).Omentin-1 levels was negative related with Gensini coronary artery score (P < 0.01). Multiple linear regression showed body mass index,HOMA-IR,diastolic blood pressure were independently associated with omentin-1 levels (P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusions Serum omentin-1 levels, associated with fat,insulin sensitivity, are likely to play an important role in insulin resistance and the development of CHD in populations with different glucose tolerance.
