Objective To investigate the static postural balance of patients with lumbar disc herniation (LDH). Methods From January to September, 2015, thirty patients with LDH were as observation group, and thirty healthy adult people were as control group. Their bal-ance function were detected and compared. Results The sway length, sway area and anteroposterior sway velocity were higher in the obser-vation group than in the control group (t>2.262, P<0.05), but there was no significant difference in mediolateral sway velocity between two groups (t=1.946, P=0.057) in eye-open condition. All of the indexes were higher in eye-closed condition in the observation group than in the control group (t>2.767, P<0.01), as well as the Romberg values (t>2.326, P<0.05). Conclusion Impairment of the proprioception and lower back pain affected the postural control of patients with LDH, who relied more on vision input to maintain postural stability.

BACKGROUND:Studies have found that sodium arsenite can cause the malignant transformation and tumorigenicity of HaCaT cels, but whether low concentrations of sodium arsenite can cause the malignant transformation is rarely reported.
OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of sodium arsenite on the malignant transformation of human immortalized keratinocyte cel lines.
METHODS:HaCaT cels were treated with different concentrations of sodium arsenite. MTT assay was used to determine the effect of sodium arsenite on HaCaT cel morphology and proliferation, flow cytometry used to detect the effect of sodium arsenite on HaCaT cel cycle, and soft agar colony formation experiments assay used to determine the effect of sodium arsenite on HaCaT cel colony formation capacity.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: HaCaT cels grew wel when the concentration of sodium arsenite was 5 mol/L, but the cel growth was inhibited under intervention with 10 and 50 mol/L sodium arsenite. HaCaT cels treated with 0.1 mol/L sodium arsenite were passaged to the 20th generation, and cel morphology had no notable changes; cels at passage 25 exhibited enlarged size and multiple nucleoli, which had a continued proliferation trend. Compared with the primarily cultured cels, 0.1 mol/L sodium arsenite-treated HaCaT cels at passages 15 and 25 had an increased proportion at S phase and G2/M phase, with strengthened proliferation ability and increased colony-forming efficiency, and moreover, the proliferation ability and colony-forming efficiency of passage 25 cels were higher than those of passage 15 cels. These experimental data show that high concentrations of sodium arsenite reduce HaCaT cel viability, and low concentrations of sodium sulfite have a certain influence on the morphology, cel cycle, proliferation ability and colony-forming efficiency of HaCaT cels, and moreover, the proliferation ability and colony-forming efficiency of human immortalized keratinocytes wil be strengthened with the increase of passage.

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanism of total flavone of haw-thorn leaf ( TFHL) on p38MAPK signaling pathway and inflammation factors in rats brain with chronic cere-bral ischemia.Methods SPF class healthy male SD rats were randomly divided into sham group, model group,TFHL group and Ginkgo leaf group( 12 rats in each group) .Permanent bilateral carotid artery ligation was used to prepare chronic cerebral ischemia model.Morris water maze method was used to evaluate learn-ing and memory abilities of rats.Immunohistochemistry and Western blot methods were used to measure the expression of caspase-3 and p38MAPK proteins.ELISA method was used to measure the amounts of TNF-αand IL-1βin hippocampal tissue.Results Compared with the model group,TFHL treatment (36 d) can im-prove learning and memory capabilities of vascular dementia rats,shorten the escape latency ( TFHL group(10.01±2.85) s vs Model group (19.54±6.12) s, P<0.05) and the course of searching platform(TFHL group(2.6044±0.3219)m vs model group(3.3502±0.6231)m, P<0.05),increase the numbers of crossing the platform (TFHL group(5.17±2.12) times vs Model group (3.96±1.34) time,s P<0.05) and the platform quadrant swimming distance percentage (TFHL group(48.22±7.39)%vs model group (33.42±5.32) %, P<0.01).The number of caspase-3 positive cells in the hippocampus significantly reduced (TFHL group(1.677 ±0.164) vs Model group (2.387±0.171), P<0.05),the expression level of P38MAPK protein (TFHL group (0.0161±0.0003) vs Model group (0.0254±0.0018), P<0.05),TNF-α(TFHL group(19.61±3.61) ng/10 mg vs Model group (27.82±6.57) ng/10 mg, P<0.01)and IL-1β(TFHL group(24.41±2.56) ng/10 mg vs Model group (29.43±5.26) ng/10 mg, P<0.05) were significantly decreased.Conclusion TFHL plays a protective role in nerve function of the chronic cerebral ischemia rats.The mechanism of its antia-poptosis might be associated with the activation of P 38MAPK signaling pathway,inflammation and the apoptosis of neurons in the brain.

Objective To investigate the effects of therapeutic hypercapnia on type Ⅱ alveolar cells (ATⅡ ) in the transplanted lung in rats.Methods Twenty-eight pathogen free adult male Wistar rats weighing 180-220 g were randomly divided into 2 groups (n= 14 each) : control group (group C) and therapeutic hypercapnia group (group T). The animals were anesthetized with intraperitoneal 3% pentobarbital 30 mg/kg, tracheostomized and mechanically ventilated with 50% O2-50% N2 (VT 10 ml/kg, RR 60 bpm, I∶ E1∶1). Left lung transplantation was performed. In group T starting from the beginning of reperiusion of the transplanted lung, the animals were ventilated with a mixture of 50% O2-N2 and C02(in appropriate concentrations) to keep PaCO2 between 80-100 mm Hg. After 90 min of reperfusion of the transplanted lung, blood samples were collected from pulmonary vein of the transplanted lung and blood gas analysis was performed. Oxygenation index was calculated.AT II cells were isolated from the transplanted lung and purified and examined with electronic microscope. The apoptosis rate of AT Ⅱ cells was detected by flow cytometry. Results Oxygenation index was significantly higher, the apoptotic rate of ATⅡ cells lower, the damage to ATⅡ cells was less in group T than in group C.Conclusion Therapeutic hypercapnia can protect the AT Ⅱ cells in the transplanted lung and improve the function of the trans planted lung.

Objective To explore an effective mode for the prevention and control of hypertension in agricultural and pastoral areas in Xinjiang by comparing the effect of mode A with that of B in blood pressure-lowering treatment. Methods 1445 patients with hypertension in agricultural and pastoral areas were included in this study. They voluntarily received mode A or B blood pressure-lowering treatment. The changes in heart rate , blood pressure, lipid, and glucose, and the incidences of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events and adverse events were noted;and the effect of modes A and B was compared. Results 87.07%of the patients chose mode A group, while 12.93%chose mode B. The rate of pressure control was 70.71%in mode A group and 68.75%in mode B group , with no significant statistical difference (P>0.05). In 12th month of treatment, the decreased level of systolic pressure was (19.09 ± 20.33)mmHg in the group with mode A and (14.14 ± 17.85) mmHg in the group with mode B, showing a significant statistical difference between the two groups (P=0.047); and the declined level of diastolic pressure was (11.17 ± 13.23)mmHg and (8.17 ± 11.17) mmHg, respectively, with no significant statistical difference. Conclusion Mode A blood pressure-lowering treatment can effectively control blood pressure in hypertensive patients living in agricultural and pastoral areas in Xinjiang.

Objective To investigate the relationship between SOCS-3 gene polymorphism and abnormal glucose metabolism in Xinjiang Uygur population.Methods According to different plasma glucose levels,1232individuals in Xinjiang Hetian area were divided into 3 groups,451 patients with pre-diabetes,252 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus,and 529 healthy people as normal controls.Based on HapMap,the polymorphisms rs12953258,rs4969168,rs9914220 were selected as haplotypes,tagging SNP (htSNP) sufficiently covering the genetic variation of the whole gene.Associations of rs12953258,rs4969168,and rs9914220 within SOCS-3 with abnormal glucose metabolism in three groups of Xinjiang Uygur population were examined ; The genotype and allele frequencies and relative clinic data were compared among groups.Results The type 2 diabetes mellitus study with 451 individuals showed that the homozygosity for the C allele of rs12953258 polymorphism of SOCS-3 was associated with increased diabetes risk(OR=1.756,95％ CI 1.168-2.640).In addition,association between rs4969168 or rs9914220 and abnormal glucose metabolism in the Xinjiang Uygur population was not found.Age,total cholesterol,and body mass index were risk factors of diabetes mellitus,total cholesterol and low high density lipoprotein-cholesterol were risk factors of pre-diabetes in Uygur people.Conclusions The C allele of rs12953258 polymorphism of SOCS-3 gene may be an independent risk factor for abnormal glucose metabolism in Xinjiang Uygur population.
