The purpose of this study was to investigate the anti-injury effect and protective mechanism of hydrogen-enriched water in a rat model of acute liver injury induced by aflatoxin B (AFB). Healthy male Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats were randomly divided into control group, model group (AFB group) and hydrogen-enriched water treatment group (AFB+H group). The rat model of acute liver injury induced by AFB was established by single intragastric administration of AFB (2.0 mg/kg), and then the rats were treated with hydrogen-enriched water intragastrically. HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of liver tissue. Blood samples were taken from vena cava to measure serum liver function indexes. Live tissue was sampled to detect malondialdehyde (MDA) and reduced glutathione (GSH) contents. Western blot was used to detect phosphorylation levels of MAPK signaling pathway proteins (ERK, JNK and p38 MAPK). The results showed that, compared with the AFB group, the AFB+H group exhibited increased body weights, alleviated acute liver injury, decreased activities of serum glutamic-pyruvic transaminase and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase, as well as total bilirubin level in the serum. Meanwhile, hydrogen-enriched water decreased MDA content and increased GSH content in liver tissue. AFB-increased phosphorylation levels of ERK, JNK and p38 MAPK in liver tissue were down-regulated significantly by hydrogen-enriched water treatment. These results suggest that hydrogen-enriched water can alleviate liver injury induced by AFB, and its mechanism may be related to the reduction of oxidative stress and the inhibition of MAPK signal transduction pathway activation.

Trimethyltin chloride is a highly toxic substance, which is absorbed through respiratory tract, skin and digestive tract, with central nervous system injury as the main clinical manifestations, and can be accompanied by damage to various organs. In this paper, the treatment process of 3 patients with acute trimethyltin chloride poisoning was reviewed, and their clinical manifestations, auxiliary examination, diagnosis and treatment were analyzed. Three patients were misdiagnosed as mental abnormality, encephalitis, and hepatic encephalopathy in different hospitals in the early stage of medical treatment, suggesting that clinicians should pay attention to the occupational contact history of poisoned patients and conduct toxicant detection in time to avoid misdiagnosis and mistreatment.

AIM: To observe the clinical effects of minimally invasive scleral buckling combined with 25G cannula intra-optical fiber lighting in the treatment of rhegmatogenous retinal detachment with the help of non-contact wide angle lens.

METHODS: We retrospectively analyzed 43 patients with rhegmatogenous retinal detachment from May 2011 to March 2015 in our hospital. The retinal tear locations of these patients analyzed preoperatively by pre-set lens and three-mirror contact-lens were uncertain. We detected the retinal tears intraoperatively by non-contact wide angle lens with the help of 25G cannula intra-optical fiber lighting. The tears were sealed by minimally invasive scleral buckling. The patients were followed up at 1wk, 1mo, 3mo and 6mo postoperatively. The vison and intraocular pressure were recorded with the same equipment and methods as preoperatively did. The retina reattachment and tear sealing status were also observed.

RESULTS: The retina were reattached by one operation in 41 patients and the reattachment rate was 95.3%. One patient suffered from incomplete retina reattachment, effusion under the retina, poor position of compressed retinal area, and succeeded by minimally invasive scleral buckling once again. One patient developed new retina tear and completely reattached by vitrectomy.

CONCLUSION:For those patients with uncertain retinal detachment preoperatively, minimally invasive scleral buckling combined with 25G cannula intra-optical fiber lighting could increase the success rate. The statistical analysis in large samples and the long-term complications should be further investigated.

The skin transcriptome of Bufu bufo gargarizans was determined by conventional methods. A novel full length cDNA coding for a Cathelicidin precursor was identified by transcriptomic data assembling, annotation and blast search of corresponding data banks. According to the known processing methods of Cathelicidin family members, present reported novel Cathelicidin precursor of B. bufo gargarizans might be cleaved at 2 possible sites of the same precursor and generate both BG-CATH25 and BG-CATH29 as mature molecules. The deduced BG-CATH25 and BG-CATH29 were synthesized with purity>95% to evaluate the properties and bactericidal activities. The secondary structural characteristics of both BG-CATH25 and BG-CATH29 in different solutions were determined by Circular Dichroism (CD) Analysis. CD results indicated that random coil conformation were the main structural elements for both BG-CATH25 and BG-CATH29 in different buffer systems. Antimicrobial activities against tested bacterial strains were carried out by plating method. Both BG-CATH25 and BG-CATH29 showed strong antibacterial activities against Aeromonas hydrophila, with MIC values of 1.25, 10 mg•L⁻¹, respectively. However, both of them showed weak bactericidal activities against human pathogenic bacteria, like Escherichia coli (ATCC25922）,Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC25923）and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (ATCC 27853).

ObjectiveTo investigate the distribution and trend of rehabilitation personnel of China Disabled Persons' Federation (CDPF) system and the people with disabilities (PWDs) using geographical gravity model. MethodsBased on ArcGIS and statistical data, the distribution of geographical center of gravity of the rehabilitation personnel of the CDPF system from 2011 to 2021 was analyzed. According to the economic development, the areas were divided into three regions, and the eastern region included eleven provincial units, the central region includes eight provincial units, and the western region included twelve provincial units. ResultsCompared with 2011, rehabilitation staffs per thousand PWDs increased at 107.5% in 2021, 81.1%, 114.2% and 174.1% for the eastern, central, and western regions, respectively; professional staffs increased at 190.5%, 148.8%, 284.6% and 280.6% for the eastern, central, and western regions, respectively; managerial staff increased at 80.0%, 46.8%, 554.3% and 128.1% for the eastern, central, and western regions, respectively. Compared with 2011, the geographical center of gravity of the rehabilitation personnel moved about 330.9 km in 2021, while the geographical center of gravity of the PWDs moved about 169.64 km. ConclusionThe rehabilitation personnel in the CDPF system is the most in the eastern region and least in the western region. The tracks of the geographical center of gravity of the three kind of rehabilitation personnel in the CDPF system are relatively consistent. The rehabilitation personnel in the eastern region are more concentrated than those in the western region, and the density of the PWDs is more westward than that of the rehabilitation personnel, and coordination is not a perfect match yet. It is necessary to strengthen the rehabilitation personnel allocation in the western region, to balance distribution of human resources for rehabilitation of PWDs among regions.

Objective To investigate whether gemcitabine (GEM) could enhance radiosensitivity of human non-small cell lung cancer cells and its related mechanism.Methods Clonogenic assay was used to analyze radiosensitivity enhancement by GEM on p53 mutant human lung adenocarcinoma cell line 973.Alterations of cell cycle distribution and apoptosis were measured by flow cytometry.Results Mild radiosesitizing effect was observed when 10 nmol/L GEM was administrated before or after irradiation.Marked radiosesitizing effect was demonstrated when 100 nmol/L GEM was administrated before or after irradiation, with much stronger effect of pre-irradiation GEM treatment.Mutation of p53 gene affected cell cycle redistribution and cell apoptosis, but had no relationship with radiosensitivity enhancement of GEM.Conclusions 100 nmol/L GEM could significantly enhance radiosensitivity of human lung cancer cells.However, this effect may not be associated with p53 gene mutation, cell cycle redistribution or cell apoptosis.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of shear wave elastography on deep venous thrombosis in different stage.Methods Models of rabbits'deep venous thrombosis have been established to noninvasively measure Young's moduli of thrombosis in day 1 ,4,7,10 and 14 respectively by shear wave elastography.Results The elastic modulus of thrombosis increased with increment of the stages of thrombosis.Specifically,the mean Young's moduli of thrombosis increased from (4.0±1 .42)kPa (day 1)to (25.71 ±6.09)kPa (day 14),with statistical differences between each two observation time points (P <0.05).Conclusions Shear wave elastography can effectively reflect the elasticity of thrombosis in different stages,and the stage of thrombosis can be estimated judging by quantitative ultrasound elasticity preliminarily.
