Objective : To investigate the effect of aluminum exposure on expression of miR-497-5p, wingless murine breast cancer virus integration site family member 3a (Wnt3a), β-catenin protein, glycogen synthase kinase-3β (GSK-3β) protein and tau protein in rat adrenal pheochromocytoma PC12 cells, so as to provide insight into unraveling the mechanisms underlying aluminum exposure-induced abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein. Methods: PC12 cells were exposed to Al(mal)3 at concentrations of 0, 100, 200, 400 μmol/L for 24 h. The viability of PC12 cells was measured using cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8) assay. The relative expression of miR-497-5p and Wnt3a was detected using a real-time fluorescent quantitative PCR (RT-qPCR) assay, and the expression of Wnt3a, β-catenin, GSK-3β, P-GSK-3β (Ser9), tau and p-tau (Ser396) proteins were determined using Western blotting. Results : The viability of PC12 cells appeared a tendency towards a decline with the increase of aluminum dose (Ftrend=323.473, P=0.001). RT-qPCR assay detected that the relative miR-497-5p expression appeared a tendency towards a rise with the increase of aluminum dose (Ftrend=14.888, P=0.031), and the relative Wnt3a expression appeared a tendency towards a decline with the increase of aluminum dose (Ftrend=165.934, P<0.001). The miR-497-5p expression negatively correlated with the relative Wnt3a expression (r=-0.693, P=0.012). The expression of Wnt3a (Ftrend=357.656, P=0.001), β-catenin (Ftrend=208.750, P=0.001) and p-GSK-3β (Ser9) proteins (Ftrend=512.583, P<0.001) appeared a tendency towards a decline with the increase of aluminum dose, and the expression of GSK-3β (Ftrend=39.965, P<0.001), tau (Ftrend=277.929, P=0.006) and p-tau (Ser396) proteins (Ftrend=96.247, P=0.002) appeared a tendency towards a rise with the increase of aluminum dose. Conclusion Up-regulation of miR-497-5p and GSK-3β expression and down-regulation of Wnt3a and β-catenin expression may be a mechanism underlying aluminum exposure-induced abnormal phosphorylation of tau protein.

Objective To observe the changes of Endothelin,Tumor Necrosis Factor in different stress; and to explore the corelation between the changes of Endothelin,Tumor Necrosis Factor and the occurrence of stress-related gastric mucosal disease.Methods The models of the acute methamidophos poison and the acute myocardial infarction in rats were made.The gastric ulcer index was counted and the content of blood plasma Endothelin and blood serum Tumor Necrosis Factor were checked.Results Models of the acute methamidophos poison and the acute myocardial infarction in rats were set up successfully. The gastric ulcer index of rats in the stress groups increased.The blood plasma Endothelin and blood serum Tumor Necrosis Factor in the stress group were significantly higher than those in the control group.Conclusion The gastric mucosal disease under different stress was observed with the gastric mucosal ulcer index.The blood plasm Endothelin and blood serum Tumor Necrosis Factor under different stress were increased,suggesting they play an important role in this phenomenen.

Objective To determine the effects of prostaglandin E_2 alone and the combination with omeprazole for poisoning related acute mucosal lesion. Methods Forty-two healthy SD rats were randomly divided into 7 groups: control group (control), methamidophos poisoning model group (intox), 10 mg/kg omeprazole group (ome1), 50 mg/kg omeprazole group (ome2), 10 μg/kg prostaglandin E_2 group (PG1), 50 μg/kg prostaglandin E_2 group (PG2), 10 μg/kg prostaglandin E_2 combined with 10 mg/ kg omeprazole group (union). The gastric ulcer index was counted and the content of serum cholinesterase, endothelin, and tumor necrosis factor were measured, and dependability was analyzed. Results There was no obvious difference between the prostaglandin group and the poisoning model group in gastric ulcer index, endothelin, and tumor necrosis factor. The omeprazole alone and the combination treatment could improve the acute gastric mucosa lesion induced by methamidophos poisoning. Conclusion Prostaglandin E_2 alone can not obviously improve the acute gastric mucosa lesion by methamidophos poisoning. The combination with omeprazole may be a promising treatment.

To discuss the distribution of patents' holders for Chinese herbal compounds in treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, the patents' holders for Chinese herbal compounds in treating cardiovascular and cerebrovascular were cluster analyzed by means of simple statistics and cluster analysis. Clustering variables were composed of patent applications, patent maintained number, related papers' quantity, etc. Chinese herbal compound patents' holders were divided into four categories according to their different scientific research and patent strength. It is the magic weapon for Chinese herbal compound patents' holders that have scientific research patents' transforming and make coordination of patent protection and scientific innovation.

OBJECTIVE:To reduce the types of drugs which was not consistent with the accounts in monthly checking of out-patient department,reduce the wastage of dismounted drugs and improve dismounted drug management. METHODS:Through qual-ity control circle(QCC),analyzing the reasons for inconformity of accounts and drugs,adopting relevant countermeasures of staff training,cipher prescription,counter storage,managed by designated person,expiry data management and so on,the process of dismounted drug management was formulated and implemented. The types of drugs which was not consistent with the accounts and activity growth value of circle members were analyzed statistically before,during and after QCC. RESULTS:The types of drugs which was not consistent with the accounts were 33.6,21.2 and 13.6 before,during and after QCC,decreasing by 59.5%. The ac-tivity growth value of circle members were all positive value. CONCLUSIONS:QCC of outpatient pharmacy can effectively reduce the types of drugs which is not consistent with the accounts in monthly checking,standardize dismounted drug management and im-prove pharmaceutical care quality.

ObjectiveTo study the effect of TGF-? 1 signal transduction blocked by antisense-Smad 4 gene on progression of experimental liver fibrosis of Kunming mice.MethodsWe transfered retrovirus-mediated antisense Smad 4cDNA into the CCl4/ethanol induced cirrhotic liver of Kunming mouse model to investigate the antisense-Smad 4 gene integration by Southern blot. The expression of Smad 4 in cirrhotic liver was observed by Northern blot, RT-PCR, and Western blot. The fibrotic degree of the livers among the three groups were compared.ResultsThe antisense-Smad 4 gene was confirmed to integrate into the liver of the retrovirus-treated mouse .In the non-treated cirrhotic liver, the expression of Smad 4 mRNA was significantly increased than normal liver, the antisense Smad 4 gene could decrease the expression of Smad 4. Compared with the non-treated liver, the fibrotic septa of the liver in the retrovirus-treated mouse were fewer,narrow, and incomplete,and their fibrotic degree of the treated-liver was reduced.ConclusionThese results indicate that antisense-Smad 4 gene can reduce the expression of Smad 4,inhibit the progression of liver fibrosis.

Objective To investigate the association factors affecting the course of IVF/ICSI-ET. Methods The clinical data of 348 cycles of IVF/ICSI-ET in patients with different causes of infertility were analyzed retrospectively. Results Ovarian reserve and response to stimulation declined with aging. The ability of bFSH predicting ovarian response was low. E 2 peak concentration, number of big follicle and retrieved oocytes decreased significantly when bFSH concentration evelated. The number of big follicle and retrieved oocytes obviously increased with the E 2 peak concentration increasing. The number of antral follicle and volume of ovary were positive relation with ovarian response. None of the factors above could predict the outcome of IVF indenpedently. Conclusion Age was strongly associated with ovarian reserve and response. The bFSH level was one of the indices reflecting ovarian reserve, and had the limited capability for predicting ovarian response and IVF outcome.E 2 peak concentration could not predict the IVF consequence. The number of total antral follicle and volume of ovary were the most direct index reflecting ovarian response. The conditions of patients should comprehensively be evaluated to raise the pregnant rate of IVF.
