1.On Military Officers′ Ethical Responsibility and Ethics Construction
Chinese Medical Ethics 1996;0(01):-
Through all times and around the world,those who discipline themselves with high ethical standards can be regarded as truly noble men successfully taking advantage of moral authority of the people.Books on the art of war in ancient China raised a couple of ethical requirements for those superior military officers and governors.If officers want to affect his men′s mental state and generate the army′s spirit of combat effectiveness,they must assume a certain degree of ethical responsibility.Also,active share of ethical responsibility calls to take the initiative to develop a sense of ethical responsibility.Furthermore,to develop a sense of ethical responsibility calls for the building of ethical self-consciousness to participate in the training of ethical responsibility.However,the participation of ethical building consciousness can not be separated from the ethical sense of responsibility.In conclusion,each part of the three links,complementing each other,can not be biased and separated.
2.Estrogen weakens muscle endurance via estrogen receptor-MAPK mediated orosomucoid suppression
Chinese Journal of Pharmacology and Toxicology 2017;31(10):974-974
Gender differences in fatigue, manifesting as female more prone to feel exhausted with lower muscle endurance, still remains unclear mechanism. Here, we investigated whether orosomucoid, an endogenous anti-fatigue protein which can enhance muscle endurance, is involved in this regulation. Female rats showed lower muscle endurance, and this gender difference was disappeared in orosomucoid 1-deficient mice. Female rats also displayed weaker orosomucoid induction in serum, liver and muscle in response to fatigue when compared to male ones. Ovariectomy in female rats results in elevated orosomucoid level and increased swimming time which was reversed by estrogen replenishment, while exogenous estrogen treatment both in male or female mice produced opposite effects. In vitro C2C12 muscle and Chang liver cells, estrogen decreased orosomucoid expression and its promoter activity, and this effect was abolished when estrogen receptor or MAPK was blocked. Thus, estrogen negatively regulates orosomucoid expression, which is responsible for the weaker muscle endurance in females.

Objective To explore the cytotoxicity of the cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) induced by SW480 sonicate sensitized dendritic cells (DC) on the colon cancer cell line SW480. Methods PBMC were separated from the HLA-A*0201 donor and DC were cultured with rhGM-CSF, rhIL-4 and rhTNF-α. The same donor's primary CTL were stimulated by DC loaded with SW480 sonicate. The cytotoxicity of CTL on SW480 (HLA-A*0201 positive) and K562 (HLA-A*0201 negative) was determined by the MTT method. Results The cytotoxicity of the CTL on SW480 was stronger than that on K562 (P <0.05). Conclusion The DC vaccine can stimulate specific CTL which can trigger cytotoxic activity on the target cells and this cytotoxicity is related to MHC restriction.

Objective To examine the correlation of urinary podocyte number and giomerular podocalyxin expression with clinicopathology in IgA nephropathy(IgAN)patients. Methods Morning urinary specimens(100 ml)3 days before renal biopsy from 50 patients with IgAN diagnosed by renal biopsy and from 20 healthy volunteers as control were collected. After centrifugation, 300 μI sediment was used for smear. Immunohistochemical staining with monoclonal anti-podocalyxin antibody was performed to detect urinary podocytes and the number of podocyte was counted under optical microscope. Computer image analysis system was used to examine glomerular PCX expression. Renal pathology and classification were investigated based on Lee's grading and Katafuchi semi-quantitative integration method. Relevance analysis was carried out on urinary podocyte number, glomerular PCX expression with pathological score and clinical data. Results The amount of urinary podocytes in IgAN was obviously higher than that in healthy controls(P<0.01). Significant differences were found in multiple comparison of the median of urinary podocytes among Lee's grade groups. I - II group was lower as compared to Ⅲ , Ⅳ, Ⅴ groups(all P<0.05). Ⅲ group was lower as compared to V group(P<0.05). The positive rate of urinary podocyte was the highest in Ⅳ and V groups(100%), while the lowest in Ⅰ - Ⅱ group(55%). Glomerular PCX expression in IgAN decreased with the aggravation of renal pathology. Significant differences were found in multiple comparison of the glomerular PCX expression with the pathological score. Lee's Ⅰ - Ⅱ group was higher as compared to Ⅲ, Ⅳ, Ⅴ groups(all P<0.05). Ⅳ and Ⅳ groups were higher as compared to V group(P<0.05). In IgAN, urinary podocyte excretion was negatively correlated with glomerular PCX expression(r=-0.702, P<0.01), positively correlated with 24-hour urinary protein(r=0.465, P<0.01)and positively correlated with glomerular and tubular scores(r=0.233, 0.307, P<0.05). Glomerular PCX expression was negatively correlated with 24-hour urinary protein(r=-0.367,P<0.05)and negatively correlated with glomerular and tubular scores(r =-0.560, -0.377, P <0.05). Conclusions Injury and desquamation of glomerular podocytes may involve in the development of IgAN. The number of urinary podocyte can reflect the loss of podocytes in renal tissue, which may be used as a marker of disease progression of IgAN.

This paper is aim to investigate the pharmacokinetics and absolute bioavailability of neoline in Beagle dogs, and provide a theoretical basis for further study. Ethyl acetate was used for liquid-liquid extracting after 10% ammonia alkalizing. The method of UPLC-Q-TOF-MS was established for the determination of neoline plasma concentrations. Beagle dogs were orally or intravenously administered with neoline for pharmacokinetic and absolute bioavailability study. Good linear relationship of neoline was found over the range of 0.1-4 mg x L(-1) (R2 = 0.9982) and 2-100 microg x L(-1) (R2 = 0.9945). Intra-and inter-day precision, expressed as the relativestandard (RSD) were less than 5.0%. Accuracy, expressed as the relative error (RE) was within 90.0%-115%. The recovery of neoline in dog plasma was more than 80%. After 6 mg x kg(-1) for ig and 1 mg x kg(-1) for iv administration of neoline, the main pharmacokinetic parameters were analyzed with Winnonlin software. t(1/2) were (313.88 +/- 63.18), (236.33 +/- 229.84) min, and AUC(0-infinity) were (58,027.40 +/- 14,132.69), (473,578.02 +/- 82,333.08) min x microg x L(-1) for ig and iv administration respectively. The absolute bioavail ability was (73.15 +/- 10.29) %. The method of UPLC-Q-TOF-MS described in the report was sensitive, reliable and specific, and suitable for pharmacokinetic study of neoline in Beagle dog. The high absolute bioavailability of neoline in dog suggested good absorption of neline which was worth of further investigation.
