Objective To explore the relationship between apolipoprotein E ( ApoE ) genotype and diabetic nephropathy (DN) in Chinese Han population of Guangdong province. Methods 63 cases of DN patients were selected as group A; 57 diabetes patients without complications as group B; 55 healthy persons as group C. ApoE genotype of all objects were measured. Results ApoE2 in the group A was the highest, while the differences in other groups were not obvious. Detection of ApoE3 and ApoE4 was not obvious in three groups. The Level of triglyceride (TG) was highest inε2 group, and the level of total cholesterol (TC) and low density lipoprotein LDL-C were highest in ε4 groups. Conclusions In Chinese Han population of Guangdong province , ApoE gene polymorphism and DN are closely interrelated , and the occurrence ofε2 is proportionate to DN.

According to the teaching situation,associated with common problems which influence paper quality,we discussed how to control students' paper quality on preventive medicine,such as adopting strict defense procedure,making score standard of defense,and so on.

To investigate the therapeutic effect of artesunate on mouse cytomegalovirus pneumonia, the BALB/c-nu mice were infected with murine cytomegalovirus-green fluorescent protein (MCMV-GFP) by nose dropping method. The experimental protocol was approved by the Medical Laboratory Animal Ethics Committee of Guangzhou Medical University. The BALB/c-nu mice were randomly divided into five groups: control group, MCMV pneumonia group, and artesunate (60, 120, and 240 mg·kg^-1) groups. The survival rate, weights, and virus loads in lungs among the groups were observed. The degree of histopathologic changes in lungs was assessed directly by hematoxylin-eosin (HE) assay. MCMV-GFP expression was assessed by immunofluorescence. In addition, reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) analysis was performed to investigate the content of major immediate early 1 (Mie1) mRNA, and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the changes of inflammatory factors, interleukin 10 (IL-10), IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α). Western blot analysis was used to detect the expression of the changes of nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathways in total proteins. Compared with MCMV group, artesunate (120 mg·kg^-1) significantly increased body weights of MCMV-infected nude mice over 30 days, and decreased the viral titer in lung homogenate, lung inflammation, and histological severity. Moreover, the administration of artesunate (120 mg·kg^-1) could downregulate the expression of phospho-NF-κB (p-NF-κB) p65 in the lungs of mice. The present study suggested that artesunate can protect the immunocompromised mice from MCMV-induced interstitial pneumonia via downregulating NF-κB signaling pathway, thus attenuating inflammation in the lungs.

Objective To observe the effect of continued nursing on the long-term nasal feeding to elderly patients after discharge.Methods Toally 60 elderly discharged patients between January 2014 to December 2014 were evenly divided into observation and control groups with radom digit table the control group received routine nursing before discharge and after it and the observation group received continued nursing.The two groups were compared in terms of nasal feeding-induced complication,nursing satisfaction,care capability of patients' caregivers.Result The complication rate in the observation group was significantly lower,the nursing satisfaction was significantly higher and the care capability of caregivers were significantly better as compared to those of the control group (P ＜0.05).Conclusion Continued nursing can improve nursing satisfaction,train the care capacity of caregivers,reduce the complications for the old patients who need long-term nasal feeding after discharge.
