Academic Journal of Second Military Medical University 2006;27(8):863-866
Objective: To establish a white noise-induced stress ulcer model in rats and to assess the changes of gastric parietal cell configuration and acid secretion under noise stress. Methods: Rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: NS 4 h,8 h and control groups. The rat NS model was induced by white noise. The pH values of gastric juice were measured by the pH/mV pH meter and the gastric ulcer index (UI) was evaluated. The stomach tissue was processed for immunofluorescence detection and the β subunit of H+, K+-ATPase was immunostained. The gastric parietal cell configuration was observed with conventional microscopy and confocal laser scanning microscope. Results: (1)The pH value of NS 4 h group (2.22±0.05) was significantly lower than that of control group (2.59±0.21, P<0.05), but higher than that of NS 8 h group (1.31±0.06, P<0.01). (2) The UI of NS 4 h group (10.5±1.29) was significantly higher than that of the control group (P<0.05), but significantly lower than that of NS 8 h group (34.36 ± 2.22, P < 0.01). (3) The reticular pattern parietal cells in NS 4 h group (55.5±3.42)/100 was significantly higher than that in control group (42.5±3.70/100, P<0.01), but lower than that in NS 8 h groups (62.0±3.46/100, P<0.05). (4) The pH was negatively related with both UI (r=-0.85, P<0.05) and the number of reticular parietal cells (r=-0.89, P<0.05). Conclusion: A white noise-induced stress ulcer model has been successfully established in rats. NS rats develop gastric mucosal lesions with increased acid secretion, which is closely related with the oxyntic function of parietal cells.

Objective:To explicit phenylephrine (PE), α1-adrenergic receptor (α1-AR) on myocardial fibrosis regulation and interleukin-1 (IL-1), IL-6, tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) expressions in pressure overloaded mice.
Methods:A total of 49 KM mice were randomly divided into 3 groups: Blank control group, n=7, Sham operation group, n=7, Transverse abdominal aortic constriction (TAC) group, n=35, and 8 weeks later, the mice in TAC group were further divided into 5 sub-groups as TAC control, TAC+PE, TAC+Praz, TAC+Prop, TAC+Carv sub-groups, n=5 in each sub-group, and the animals were respectively treated for 3 weeks. Left ventricular collagen volume fraction (CVE), hydroxyproline content and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α expressions were examined respectively.
Results: By 8 weeks treatment, compared with Blank control group, TAC group had obvious myocardial fibrosis, increased hydroxyproline content and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α expressions,P<0.001. Compared with TAC control sub-group, TAC+PE, AC+Prop, TAC+Carv sub-groups showed decreased CVF, hydroxyproline content and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-αexpressions,P<0.001, while the above changes were not obvious in TAC+Praz sub-group,P>0.05; CVE and hydroxyproline content were similar between TAC+PE and TAC+Prop sub-groups, while the expressions of IL-1, IL-6 and TNF-α were obviously decreased in TAC+Prop sub-group,P<0.05. Conclusion: PE may improve myocardial ifbrosis and IL-1, IL-6, TNF-α expressions by activating α1-AR in pressure overloaded mice, α1-AR might be a defending factor for myocardial ifbrosis.

Objective:To calculate the health efficiency of government health expenditures in 1990 , 2000 and 2010 and analyze its determinants. Methods:To calculate the health efficiency of government health expenditures and analyze its determinants by using the DEA-Tobit model. Results:Health efficiency of government health expenditures has been increasing gradually;the same provinces are found to be on the productive frontier, but the provinces off the frontier are different;eastern provinces have a higher efficiency than those in the middle and western regions. Fiscal decentralization has a significant negative impact on health efficiency. Conclusion:The current Chinese fiscal decen-tralization system reform is important to improve the health efficiency of government health expenditures.

Objective To understand the gene characteristics of envelope region of human T lymphotropic virus type Ⅰ(HTLV Ⅰ)from Shantou region of China. Methods The gene of proviral envelope region of HTLV Ⅰ Shantou strain (named HTLV Ⅰ WHP)was amplified by PCR,using 4 designed primers,and then was sequenced,meanwhile it was compared with that of various HTLV Ⅰ representative strains from all around the world,and subsequently it was analyzed to construct its phylogenetic tree.Results The nucleotide sequence of complete envelope region of HTLV Ⅰ WHP provirus we have obtained was 1466 bp.There no deletion and insertion in the deducted amino acid sequence.The results of phylogenetic tree analysis showed that the HTLV Ⅰ WHP strain was most closed to some of the strains from Japan and Caribbean,and like the latter,belonged to the subtypea of cosmopolitan group.Conclusion The HTLV Ⅰ strains either from the coastal region of Southeast China or from Japan,Caribbean and so on have the common origin of evolution.

Objective:The paper aims to evaluate the impacts of the urban residents’ basic medical insurance on the medical treatment and preventive care services utilization through quantitative evaluation. Methods:The China Health and Nutrition Surveys ( CHNS) Data collected from 2006 to 2011 were used to compare the difference between medical treatment and preventive care services utilization adopting the difference-in-difference method and the Probit model. The control group urban residents did not participate in the basic medical insurance while their treatment group participated. Results:The medical treatment and preventive care services utilization were more for the treat-ment group than they were for the control one. The age, education level, annual per capita income and hypertension influenced the medical services utilization, and the annual per capita income was a protective factor. The age and ed-ucation level also influenced the preventive care services utilization. Conclusion: The urban resident basic medical insurance plays an important role in the medical treatment and preventive care services utilization. Meanwhile, this factor continuously enhanced the coverage and the per capita income protection for medical services.
