Transducer is applied to automatic control system extensively,but it causes certain electromagnetic interference to control circuit and electricity equipments around it and sometimes may result in wrong action.This paper carries on the experimental analysis and formulates some anti-disturbance measures.

[Objective]To explore the potential of a novel collagen I /chitosan /Nano?-tricalcium phosphate(?-TCP)bilayered scaffold for being used in tissue engineering(TE)of osteochondral repair.[Method]Bilayered scaffolds were produced with collagen Ⅰ,chitosan and?-TCP,using a special cross-linking and freeze drying method.The pore size,porosity and interpores of the scaffold were observed by scanning electron microscopy(SEM).Rabbit bone mesenchymal stem cells(BMSC)were isolated and amplified,then inoculated onto the scaffold.By SEM scanning,the condition of the cells adhering onto the scaffold was observed.The proliferation of the cells on the scaffolds was examined using MTT method,and the growth curve was drawn.The cell-scaffold composite were then induced to differentiate towards cartilage by 3-D culturing,and then implanted into muscle pouches 2 weeks later.The result was observed 6 weeks later by HE staining,toluidine blue staining and type Ⅱ collagen immunohistochemistry.[Result]The scaffold possessed high porosity and proper pore size,the porosity was above 95%.BMSC could adhere onto the scaffold well,and the proliferation rate of the cells on the scaffolds was perfectly good.After in vitro induction,BMSC-scaffold composite can differentiate toward cartilage ectopicly.[Conclusion]The novel collagen I /chitosan /?-TCP bilayered scaffold possesses good pore structure and biocompatibility,and will possibly become a new biomaterial of TE used for osteochondral repair.

Endothelin (ET) is a potent and long - acting vasoconstrictor peptide consisiting of 21 amino acids, and recently isolated from a medium of cultured porcine endothelial cells. To study its tracer kinetics property, we injected 125I -labelled ET into rat veins. The results are shown that the half time of the distribution phase and that of the elimina-tion phase of 125I-ET in plasma are 5. 56 ?0. 04 min and 210. 13?38. 09 min, respectively. The125 - ET were widely distributed in various organs. The lung and kindney were the tissues with the highest grain density. Study of those in mouse blood and tissues showed similar results.

Objective:To investigate the effect of methylene blue (MB) on motor dysfunction and its mechanism in 1-methyl-4-phenyl-1,2,3,6-tetrahydropyridine (MPTP)-induced Parkinson's disease (PD) mouse models.Methods:Forty healthy male C57BL/6 mice were randomly divided into 4 groups: control group, model group, low-dose treatment group and medium-dose treatment group ( n=10); PD mouse models were established by intraperitoneal injection of 25 mg/kg/d MPTP for a consecutive 7 d; low-dose treatment group and medium-dose treatment group were pretreated intraperitoneally with MB 2 mg/kg/d or MB 10 mg/kg/d for a consecutive 3 d, respectively; and then, MPTP 25 mg/kg/d+MB 2 mg/kg/d or MPTP 25 mg/kg/d+MB 10 mg/kg/d were injected intraperitoneally into the low-dose treatment group or medium-dose treatment group for a consecutive 7 d (MPTP and MB were given at 12 h of interval). Eight d after modeling, open field experiment, pole climbing experiment and rod rotating experiment were carried out to evaluate the spontaneous movement, coordination, endurance and motor ability. And then, the mice were sacrificed; immunofluorescent staining was used to observe tyrosine hydroxylase (TH) expression in the substantia nigra; Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of TH, α-synuclein, nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain, leucine-rich repeat and pyrin domain-containing 3 (NLRP3), apoptosis-associated speck-like protein containing a CARD (ASC), cleaved-Caspase-1 and Gasdermin D (GSDMD) in the striatum and substantia nigra of mice. Contents of tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α), interleukin (IL)-1β and IL-18 in the substantia nigra and striatum of mice were detected by ELISA. Results:Compared with the control group, the model group had shortened residence time in rod rotating, prolonged descent time in rod climbing, reduced total movement distance in open field, decreased number of TH-positive cells in the substania nigra, decreased TH protein levels in the substania nigra and striatum, and increased NLRP3, ASC, cleaved-Caspase-1, GSDMD and GSDMD-N protein levels in the substania nigra and striatum, and increased TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-18 contents in the substania nigra and striatum, with significant differences ( P<0.05). Compared with the model group, low-dose treatment group and medium-dose treatment group had prolonged residence time in rod rotating, shortened descent time in rod climbing, increased total movement distance in open field, increased number of TH-positive cells in the substania nigra, and increased TH protein levels in the substania nigra and striatum, decreased NLRP3, ASC, and cleaved-Caspase-1 levels in the substania nigra and striatum, and decreased TNF-α, IL-1β and IL-18 contents in the substania nigra and striatum, with significant differences ( P<0.05). No statistical differences in the above indexes were noted between the low-dose treatment group and medium-dose treatment group ( P>0.05). Conclusion:Low-/medium-dose MB can ameliorate motor dysfunction in PD mouse models, whose mechanism may be related to downregulate NLRP3 inflammasome and inhibit neuroinflammatory response to reduce dopaminergic neuron pyroptosis.

Leukoencephalopathy with vanishing white matter (VWM) is one of the most prevalent inherited childhood white-matter disorders, and the pathogenic gene has been confirmed as EIF2B gene. VWM is characterized by chronic progressive neurological deterioration with cerebellar ataxia, usually less prominent spasticity and relatively mild mental decline. There are episodes of rapid and major neurological deterioration provoked by stresses, such as fever, minor physical trauma and acute fright, which is a characteristic clinical feature of VWM. Brain magnetic resonance imaging findings are diagnostic in almost all patients,and the disappearance of the cerebral white matter occurs in a diffuse "melting away" pattern. The onset of VWM can be at any age from fetal stage to adult stage, and the clinical phenotypes vary immensely. Gene diagnosis is the golden standard for VWM. This article reported a patient with a course of 17 years, who was misdiagnosed as Wilson′s disease because of low serum ceruloplasmin, and was finally diagnosed as VWM by reinterpretation of whole exome sequencing, which is worthy of clinicians′ vigilance and consideration.

Objective:To investigate the effects of endocrine drugs on tumor markers and endometrium after breast cancer surgery.Methods:Eighty-eight patients with endocrine therapy for breast cancer admitted to the Heping Hospital Affiliated to Changzhi Medical College from November 2018 to March 2022 were selected, 44 patients taken orally tamoxifen citrate tablets were enrolled in the study group, 44 patients taken orally anastrozole tablets were enrolled in the control group, the patients in the two groups were treated for 12 months. The tumor markers, endometrial thickness were compared between the two groups before treatment and 12 months after treatment. The drug safety was compared too.Results:After treatment, the serum levels of carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA), carbohydrate antigen 125 (CA125) and glycochain antigen 15-3 (CA15-3) in both groups were decreased, and the level of tumor markers in the study group were lower than those in the control group: (3.01 ± 0.23) μg/L vs.(3.89 ± 1.15) μg/L, (4.22 ± 1.21) kU/L vs. (7.38 ± 2.19) kU/L, (16.76 ± 2.19) kU/L vs. (19.87 ± 2.21) kU/L, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). The endometrial thickness in the study group at 6 months and 12 months after treatment were higher than those in the control group: (7.23 ± 0.22) mm vs. (6.21 ± 0.19)mm, (7.98 ± 0.24) mm vs. (6.47 ± 0.22) mm, there were statistical differences ( P<0.05). At 12 months after treatment, the scores of functional dimension, emotional dimension, social/family dimension and physical dimension in functional assessment of cancer therapy (FACT-G) scale in the study group were significantly higher than those in the control group ( P<0.05). There was no statistically significant difference in adverse reactions between the two groups ( P>0.05). Conclusions:Tamoxifen citrate tablets can effectively inhibit the levels of serum tumor markers and improve the quality of life of patients, and anastrozole tablets can significantly reduce the endometrial thickness of breast cancer patients.

Objective:To study the expression of Proline rich protein11 (PRR11) in breast cancer and its relationship with clinical biological behavior, prognosis and survival.Methods:A prospective analysis method was used to select 80 patients with breast cancer from Jan. 2018 to Jan. 2019. Immunohistochemical S-P method was used to detect the expression of PRR11 in cancer tissues. Patients with positive expression of PRR11 were set as the study group ( n=47) and the patients with negative expression of PRR11 were set as the control group ( n=33) . All patients were followed up for 3 years to analyze and compare the survival rates of patients with positive and negative expression of PRR11. The relationship between PRR11 expression and clinical biological behavior, prognosis and survival was analyzed by Cox risk ratio review model. Results:80 patients were followed up for 3 years. It was found that the prognosis of patients with negative PRR11 expression was significantly better than that of patients with positive PRR11 expression ( χ2=5.75, P<0.001) . Chi square test was used to analyze the correlation between the expression of PRR11 and tumor size, TNM stage, lymph node metastasis, distant metastasis, histological grade, Ki67 expression and hormone receptor status ( P<0.05) . The expression of PRR11 in breast cancer tissues with larger tumors, distant metastasis and later staging was relatively high ( P<0.05) . Univariate Cox regression analysis showed that histological grade, TNM stage and PRR11 were independent risk factors affecting the prognosis of breast cancer patients ( P<0.001) . The AUC of prognosis prediction in patients with breast cancer was 0.812, and the 95% CI was 0.635-0.796. When PRR11 expression was positive, the sensitivity was 81.47%, and the specificity was 85.57%. Conclusions:The expression of PRR11 is relatively high in the late stage breast cancer tissue. The expression of PRR11 is closely related to the clinical biological behavior of breast cancer size, TNM stage and lymph node metastasis. The survival rate of patients with high PRR11 expression is low, and the positive expression of PRR11 is an independent risk factor affecting the prognosis of breast cancer patients. PRR11 detection has preferable clinical application value in predicting the prognosis of breast cancer.

Saliva testing is a vital method for clinical applications, for its noninvasive features, richness in substances, and the huge amount. Due to its direct anatomical connection with oral, digestive, and endocrine systems, clinical usage of saliva testing for these diseases is promising. Furthermore, for other diseases that seeming to have no correlations with saliva, such as neurodegenerative diseases and psychological diseases, researchers also reckon saliva informative. Tremendous papers are being produced in this field. Updated summaries of recent literature give newcomers a shortcut to have a grasp of this topic. Here, we focused on recent research about saliva biomarkers that are derived from humans, not from other organisms. The review mostly addresses the proceedings from 2016 to 2022, to shed light on the promising usage of saliva testing in clinical diagnostics. We recap the recent advances following the category of different types of biomarkers, such as intracellular DNA, RNA, proteins and intercellular exosomes, cell-free DNA, to give a comprehensive impression of saliva biomarker testing.
