Objective To study the effects of electrical stimulation of efferent vagus nerve on the endotoxic shock in rabbits. Method Sixteen Newzealand rabbits were randomly divided into 2 groups, namely group S as the stimulation group and group C as the control group). Rabbits were subjected to bilateral cervical vagotomy and had challenge with intravenous injection of lipopolysaccharide (LPS) (E. COLI O111: B4 , DIFCO, USA) in a dose of 600 μg/kg. The distal end of the left vagus nerve trunk was connected to an electric stimulator with bipolar electrode and controlled by an acquisition system. Stimuli with stable voltage (10 V,5 Hz,5 ms) were applied twice to the nerve for 10 minutes just before and after the administration of LPS in group S. At the time before and after the infusion of LPS 30 min,60 min, 120 min, 180 min,240 min and 300 min respectively, the heart rate(HR)and the mean arterial blood pressure (MABP) in each animal were recorded, and blood samples were taken for measuring serum tumor necrosis factor-αa(TNF-α) and interleukin-10 (IL-10). Results Compared with group C,the electrical stimulation of efferent vagus nerve could significantly attenuated the LPS-induced hypotension and de-creased the contents of TNF-α[(38.12±7.85) pg/mL vs. (55.12±7.89) pg/mL, P <0.01], but increased the contents of IL-10[(55.12±9.37)pg/mL vs. (40.15±5.44) pg/mL, P <0.01]afar LPS challenge. Conclusions The stimulation of the efferent vagus nerve can down-regulate systemic TNF-α, production and attenu-ate the development of shock after LPS challenge.

Objective To evaluate the sedative interaction between dexmedetomidine and propofol.Methods Sixty-four American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients,aged 20-60 yr,with body mass index of 19.0-25.0 kg/m2,scheduled for elective surgery under general anesthesia,were allocated into 4 groups (n =16 each) using a random number table:different target concentrations of dexmedetomidine groups (D1-4 groups).Dexmedetomidine was administered by target-controlled infusion (TCI) with the Markku model.The target plasma concentrations of dexmedetomidine were 0,0.4,0.6 and 0.8 ng/ml in D1-4 groups,respectively.At 15 min of dexmedetomidine TCI,propofol was given by TCI with Schnider model,and the initial target effect-site concentration was set at 1.0 μg/ml.After the target effect-site and plasma concentrations were balanced,the target effect-site concentration of propofol was gradually increased in increments of 0.2 μg/ml until loss of consciousness (Observer's Assessment of Alertness/Sedation Scale score was 1).The model of pharmacodynamic interaction was used to analyze the sedative interaction between the two drugs.Results There was no statistically significant difference in residual sums of squares fitted by using the model of pharmacodynamic interaction between the target effect-site concentration of propofol and target plasma concentration of dexmedetomidine at loss of consciousness (P＞0.05).The linear dimensionless parameter of pharmacodynamic interaction was 0.The median effective effect-site concentration of propofol was 2.38 μg/ml at loss of consciousness,and the median effective plasma concentration of dexmedetomidine was 2.03 ng/ml at loss of consciousness.Conclusion Dexmedetomidine and propofol interact additively in terms of sedation.

Methods The 3 major functions of APP were analyzed, including data record and condition assessment, medical consultation, and life therapy. Results The medical APP possesses its basic functions for chronic diseases management. However, it lacks of practicality and convenience and its homogenization is severe. Conclusion The APP +hardware +cloud medical management model should be promoted by making use of the Internet + medical technology, the supervision of mobile medical APP should be strengthened, the mobile information management mechanisms of chronic diseases should be perfected, and the self management efficiency of patients with chronic diseases should be improved.

Objective To investigate the genetic diversity of Plasmodium vivax transmission_blocking vaccine candidate antigen (TBV) Pvs25, with P.vivax isolates from Hubei and Zhejiang Provinces, and to compare the genetic polymorphism of Pvs25 with that from Bangladesh. MethodsThe parasite DNA used for the genetic polymorphism assay was obtained from dried filter paper blood spots. The genes were PCR amplified and the products were purified and sequenced directly. Results 45 complete new sequences were analyzed. Only 3 nucleotide changes were found that would result in amino acid substitutions in Pvs25 in comparison with the sequence from P.vivax Sal_I strain. The measurement of nucleotide diversity (?) was remarkably similar for the two populations, indicating that DNA sequences and deduced amino acid sequences were highly homologous among the geographically dispersed isolates or isolates from the same geographical region.Conclusion The results suggest that Pvs25 has limited antigenic polymorphism, especially compared with candidate antigens expressed by hepatic and erythrocytic stage, which may support the development and application of Pvs25_based transmission_blocking vaccine in China.

Objective To compare the difference of entrance dose between CR and amorphous silocon DR system in chest imaging, and to discuss their optimum exposure dose. Methods For CR and DR, different entrance dose was measured by dosimeter in chest phantom. The value of IQFinv was analyzed by CDRAD2. 0 software. Image quality difference between CR and DR was assessed by group t-test. The relationship between image quality and entrance dose was tested by using Pearson correlation analysis. The best IQFinv values in CR and DR system were achieved via ROC curve analysis, and the exposure dose was then calculated. Results There were direct correlation values between entrance dose and the value of IQFinv in CR and DR system, respectively( r =0. 893 ,0. 848 ,P < 0. 01 ) . The linear regression equation for DR was IQFinv =0. 0050 +3. 359, and for CR was IQFinv =0. 005D + I. 651 , where D was entrance dose. The difference of IQFinv value between CR and DR was significant(t = 5. 455 ,P < 0. 05). The best IQFinv value of the two groups from ROC analysis was 3.55. Conclusions With the entrance dose increased, the detection ability of contrast-detail was elevated in the two digital radiography systems. With equal entrance dose, the detection ability of DR in contrast-detail was superior to CR. With equal image quality, DR obviously decreased the radiation dose to the patients.

Aim To investigate the effect of U50488H(a selective κ-opioid receptor agonist)and isoproterenol(ISO,a β-adrenergic receptor agonist)on ventricular arrhythmias and Cx43 during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion in rats.Methods 60 rats were randomly divided into five groups,ie,normal control group,I/R group,ISO+I/R group,U50488H+ISO+I/R group,Nor-BNI+U50488H+ISO+I/R group.The incidence of ventricular arrhythmias and arrhythmia score were determined. The expression of Cx43mRNA was tested by RT-PCR.The expression of Cx43 protein in myocardial cell was tested by an immunohistochemical approach with a quantitative imaging system.Results ① Compared with the I/R group,arrhythmia score was increased with administration of ISO(P<0.05).U50488H intravenously injected before ISO significantly decreased the arrhythmia score(P<0.05).② Compared with the normal control group,the expression of Cx43 mRNA was decreased in the I/R group(P<0.05).With administration of ISO,the amount of Cx43 mRNA was not significantly increased.③ Compared with normal control group,total and phosphorylated Cx43 proteins were significantly decreased in the I/R group(P<0.05),and the phosphorylated Cx43 was also decreased with administration of ISO.Compared with ISO+I/R group,phosphorylated Cx43 was increased with administration of U50488H (P<0.05).Conclusion κ-opioid receptor agonist U50488 H antagonizes the arrhythmias through the regulation of Cx43 during myocardial ischemia and reperfusion via inhibiting β-adrenergic receptor pathway.

Decades researches of molecular oncology have found some moleculars which can promote tumor growth and help cancer surrive.This brings new hope for the treatment of tumors.Epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) is the first important molecular to inhibit tumor growth.Fifty percent triple negative breast cancer (TNBC) and inflammatory breast cancer (IBC) overexpress EGFR.EGFR and its downstream pathway can regulate epithelial-mesenchymal transition,promote tumor cell migration.EGFR therapy can improve the chemosensitivity of TNBC cells,apoptotic signal transduction occur.These studies suggest that the EGFR targeted therapy may have an important role in the treatment of TNBC and IBC.
