Objective To define the effect of hypothyroidism on oxidative stress,p38 and c-Jun N-terminal kinases (JNK) mRNA expression in testicular mitochondria of male rats,and to explore the mechanism of hypothyroidism on reproduction.Methods According to body weight (240-270 g),30 male Wistar rats were divided into control group (C group,1 ml/kg normal saline by intragastric administration),low-dose group (L group,0.1 mg/kg propylthiouracil 1 ml/kg by intragastric administration) and high-dose group (H group,10.0 mg/kg propylthiouracil 1 ml/kg by intragastric administration),10 rats in each group,body mass was weighed once every 3 days.After 60 days,all rats were killed.The levels of thyroid hormones [total triiodothyronine (TT3),total thyroxine (TT4),and thyroid stimulating hormone (TSH)] were measured by radioimmunoassay.The activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and catalase (CAT) in the testicular mitochondria were determined with spectrophotometric assay.The mRNA expression levels of p38 and JNK in testicular mitochondria were detected by real-time quantitative PCR.Results The weights of H group in 30 and 60 days [(265.73 ± 5.10),(253.72 ± 5.09) g] were significantly decreased in comparison with those of C group [(344.62 ± 4.69),(395.33 ± 8.36) g] and L group [(333.66 ± 3.53),(386.08 ± 7.70) g,P ＜0.05].While,testis organ coefficient of H group [(1.20 ± 0.05) g/100 g] were significantly increased compared with those of L group [(0.93 ± 0.03) g/100 g] and C group [(0.88 ± 0.03) g/100 g,P ＜ 0.05].The serum levels of TT3 [(0.39 ± 0.01) nmol/L] and TT4 [(15.47 ± 1.21) nmol/L] in H group were found to be significantly decreased compared with those of C group [(0.86 ± 0.07),(45.56 ± 1.52) nmol/L] and L group [(0.79 ± 0.06),(39.02 ± 1.33) nmol/L,P ＜ 0.05];whereas the level of TSH [(0.65 ± 0.09) mU/L)] was increased in comparison with those of the C group [(0.18 ± 0.06) mU/L] and L group [(0.27 ± 0.05) mU/L,P ＜ 0.05].In addition,the level of SOD in H group [(60.37 ± 3.14) U/mg prot] was decreased compared with that of C group [(75.18 ± 6.13) U/mg prot,P ＜ 0.05];the level of CAT in H group [(1.46 ± 0.25) U/mg prot] and L group [(1.67 ± 0.39) U/mg prot] decreased significantly compared with that of C group [(3.79 ± 0.44) U/mg prot,P ＜ 0.05].And compared with C (1.000 0 ± 0.000 0) and L (1.114 2 ± 0.124 1) groups,p38 mRNA expression in H group (1.387 4 ± 0.122 0) was significantly increased (P ＜ 0.05).However,there was no significant change in JNK mRNA expression between groups (F =0.95,P ＞ 0.05).Conclusion Hypothyroidism may induce oxidative stress of testicular mitochondria leading to the change of p38 cell signal path and then damage the reproductive system in male rats.

Virtual reality (VR) technology is a kind of human-computer interaction technology, which has been widely used in teaching. In the acute mountain sickness rescue teaching practice, we simulated the plateau environment, operation process of prevention and treatment of mountain disease via VR, which were compared with traditional teaching model. Clinical medical undergraduates were selected as the research objects, and the practice effect was compared and analyzed. VR technology makes more rich and diverse teaching methods in acute mountain sickness rescue teaching practice, which has significant advantages in improving the teaching environment and overcoming the shortage of equipment and space. We have optimized the instructional design, realized the teaching mode by combination of virtuality and reality, and improved the teaching quality and test scores.

To adapt to the general educational requirements for military academies to prepare for victory under the new situation, the present paper proposed the overall thought of strengthening the post education for military hygiene through analyzing the main problems and causes existing in the current education, combined with the experience and practice of foreign military post education. Moreover, we combined the current situation and reality of post education in military medical universities, and analyzed the corresponding countermeasures from the aspects of teaching staff, course construction, information construction, teaching method and assessment model, expecting to provide guidance and help for better carrying out the post education of military hygiene in the future.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of Jiaohong pills （JHP） and its prescription， Pericarpium Zanthoxyli （PZ） and Rehmanniae Radix （RR） cognitive dysfunction in scopolamine-induced Alzheimer's disease （AD） mice and its mechanism through pharmacodynamic and metabolomics study. MethodThe animal model of AD induced by scopolamine was established and treated with PZ， RG and JHP， respectively. The effects of JHP and its formulations were investigated by open field test， water maze test， object recognition test， avoidance test， cholinergic system and oxidative stress related biochemical test. Untargeted metabolomics analysis of cerebral cortex was performed by ultra-performance liquid chromatography-Quadrupole/Orbitrap high resolution mass spectrometry （UPLC Q-Exactive Orbitrap MS）. ResultThe behavioral data showed that， compared with the model group， the discrimination indexes of the high dose of JHP， PZ and RR groups was significantly increased （P<0.05）. The staging rate of Morris water maze test in the PZ， RR， high and low dose groups of JHP was significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， the crossing numbers in the PZ， JHP high and low dose groups were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）； the number of errors in the avoidance test were significantly reduced in the PZ and high-dose JHP groups （P<0.01）， and the error latencies were significantly increased in the JHP and its prescription drug groups （P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the activities of acetylcholinesterase in the cerebral cortex of the two doses of JHP group and the PZ group were significantly increased （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and the activity of acetylcholinesterase in the high-dose JHP group was significantly decreased （P<0.05）， and the level of acetylcholine was significantly increased （P<0.01）. At the same time， the contents of malondialdehyde in the serum of the two dose groups of JHP decreased significantly （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The results of metabolomics study of cerebral cortex showed that 149 differential metabolites were identified between the JHP group and the model group， which were involved in neurotransmitter metabolism， energy metabolism， oxidative stress and amino acid metabolism. ConclusionJHP and its prescription can antagonize scopolamine-induced cognitive dysfunction， regulate cholinergic system， and reduce oxidative stress damage. The mechanism of its therapeutic effect on AD is related to the regulation of neurotransmitter， energy， amino acid metabolism， and improvement of oxidative stress.
