Autoradiography of nicotinic acetylcholine receptors (N-AChR) with the application of histochemical staining location of cholinesterase was used to observe the effect of soman on junctional and extrajunctional N-AChR. Testing with the diaphragms and extensor digitorum longus muscles of mice and rats, we found that soman mainly increased the number of extrajunctional N-AChR. It did pot alter the number of junctional N-AChR significantly, nor did it have any pronounced effects on the glycoprotein property and isoelectric point (pI) of junctional and extrajunctional N-AChR. The change of extrajunctional N-AChR number caused by soman is similar to the phenomenon of increased extrajunctional N-AChR number and sensitivity resulting from denervation, but the mechanism of action is different from the latter. The increase of N-AChR number is one of the important characteristics of soman poisoning which make it different from other nerve agents. To maintain the metabolic balance of N-AChR may be an important new approach to the treatment of soman poisoning.

Objective To investigated the effects of intermittent hypoxia on neuronal apoptosis and autophagy in hippocampus.Methods 30 Wistar rats were randomly divided into normal control group (NC),intermittent normoxia group (IN) and intermittent hypoxia group (IH).The spatial learning and memory function of the rat was assessed using Morris water maze test.The apoptotic cells and the ultrastructure of neurons in the hippocampus tissue were observed by TUNEL and transmission electron microscope,respectively.And the expression of autophagy marker protein LC3 and Beclin-1 were measured by Western blotting.Results The escape latency was significantly longer in IH than in NC and IN group.And the ratio of time spent in the target quadrant was lower in the IH group than in NC and IN group (P＜0.05).The apoptotic rate of rat hippocampal neurons (F =6.01,P=0.037),the amount of double-layer membrane structure-complicating autophagic vacuoles with karyopyknosis,and protein expression level of LC3 and Beclin-1 were significantly higher (all P ＜0.05) in intermittent hypoxia group than in IN and NC group.Conclusions Intermittent hypoxiainduced autophagy and apoptosis in rat hippocampus are significantly increased,which might be one of the possible mechanisms for cognitive dysfunction caused by intermittent hypoxia.

The aim of the study is to investigate the prognostic value of plasma brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism. Plasma BNP concentrations were measured in 47 cases with acute pulmonary embolism. Plasma BNP levels in massive or sub-massive pulmonary embolism were higher than those in no-massive pulmonary embolism (P = 0. 001,0. 048) ; BNP levels in survival cases were higher than those in fatal cases ( P = 0. 027 ). The incidence of massive or sub-massive pulmonary embolism in patients with BNP >400 pg/ml was higher than that with BNP≤400 pg/ml ( 100% vs. 75%,P = 0. 023 ). Results indicate that plasma BNP concentration might be associated with risk stratification and prognosis of the disease.

Objective To investigate the effects of glutamine (Gln) on proliferation and survival of small cell lung cancer H446 cells, and further to explore the potential mechanism. Methods The proliferation of H446 cells was detected at different time points (0, 24, 48, 72 and 96 h) by CCK-8 assay in Gln (+) group and Gln (-) group, and an optimal time was selected. Under the optimal time, Annexin V-FITC/PI staining, CellTiter-Glo? assay kit and flow cytometer were used to detect cell survival, cellular adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and reactive oxygen species (ROS) levels. Gln (-) group was used as the control group, under the condition of Gln deficiency, cellular ATP, cell proliferation and survival were detected after adding oxaloacetic acid (OAA) or dimethyl-α-ketoglutarate (DM-αKG). Gln (-) group was used as the control group, cellular ROS, cell proliferation, colony and survival were detected after treated with ROS scavenger N- acetyl cysteine (NAC). With different concentrations (0, 2, 5, 10 μmol/L) of glutaminase inhibitor BPTES, the optimal concentration was selected through the colony assay. The cellular ATP and ROS levels and cell proliferation were detected under the optimal concentration. H446 cells were treated with bis-2-(5-phenylacetamido-1,2,4-thiadiazol-2-yl) ethyl sulfide (BPTES), ROS inducer hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) or the combination of them, and cell survival ratio was compared between two groups. Results The proliferation levels of H446 cells at 24, 48, which were decreased most significantly in 72 h in Gln (-) group. When 72 h was used as the optimal time, the cell survival ratio and ATP level were decreased, and the ROS level was increased, in Gln (-) group compared with those of Gln (+) group (P<0.05). There was a higher survival ratio in H446 cells in Gln (-)+OAA group and Gln (-)+DM-αKG group than that of Gln (-) group (P<0.05), but there were no significant differences in cell proliferation and ATP levels between Gln (-) group, Gln (-)+OAA group and Gln (-)+DM-αKG group. The ROS level was reduced, the cell proliferation, colony level and survival ratio were increased in Gln (-)+NAC group compared with those of Gln (-) group (P<0.05). Cloning assay showed that 10μmol/L was the optional concentration. Under this concentration, the proliferation and ATP level were decreased in Gln(+)+BPTES group (P<0.05), and cellular ROS level was up-regulated compared with Gln(+) group. The survival ratio was significantly lower in BPTES+H 2O2 group compared with BPTES (+) group or H2O2 (+) group. Conclusion Glutamine deficiency inhibits the proliferation and survival ratio of H446 cells through enhancing ROS level. BPTES and H2O2 show synergistically inhibitory effect on the survival of H446 cells.

【Objective】 To evaluate the performance of absorption and elution test and real time PCR in identifying ABO blood group. 【Methods】 The blood samples with weakened antibody expression serologically were screened and analyzed by absorption and elution test, real time PCR and gene sequencing. The gene sequencing results were used as the gold standard to assess the consistency of the other two methods, and the sensitivity and specificity were compared. 【Results】 Compared with the sequencing results (gold standard), absorption and elution test showed moderate consistency, while real time PCR showed good consistency. Both the sensitivity and specificity of absorption and elution test and real time PCR were statistically different. 【Conclusion】 There was a good agreement between real time PCR and gene sequencing in identifying suspicious ABO blood group with weakened antibody expression serologically. Real time PCR, with a low misjudgment rate, has strong ability to detect weak antigen and is more conducive to identify blood type compared with absorption and elution test.
