BACKGROUND:Study on mouse models of hyperinsulinemia confirms that hyperinsulinemia can induce the occurrence of myocardial hypertrophy. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of insulin on proliferation and hypertrophy of cardiomyocytes in neonatal mice in vitro cultured. DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:The in vitro cytology experiment was performed at the Key Laboratory of Anatomy,Histology and Embryology of Xinxiang Medical University from January 2006 to March 2007. MATERIALS:Twenty Wistar neonatal mice aged 1-3 days were used in this study. Insulin was obtained from Sigma,USA. METHODS:Cardiomyocytes of neonatal mice were in vitro harvested,culture and purified by trypsin digestion and differential attachment technique. Cardiomyocytes were incubated in 10-8,10-7,10-6 mol/L insulin for 48 hours. Blank control group was set up. 10-7 mol/L insulin group was used for cell cycle analysis. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:Cell diameter,activity and counting were measured under a microscope. The expression of cyclin E in cardiomyocytes was measured using immunocytochemistry. RESULTS:Cardiomyocyte activity in each group was over 90%. Compared with the blank control group,long diameter and short diameter of cardiomyocytes in the 10-8,10-7,10-6 mol/L insulin groups were significantly increased(t=2.781 5,P 0.05) ,but the number of cardiomyocytes in the 10-6 mol/L insulin group significantly decreased(t=1.976 2,P

Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors for surgical site infection (SSI)in clean wound orthopedics surgery.Methods SSI among patients receiving clean wound orthopedic surgery from April 1 to Sep-tember 30 in 2014 were monitored,risk factors for SSI were analyzed.Results A total of 665 patients were moni-tored,14 cases(2.11 %)of SSI occurred.Univariate analysis showed that types of skin,skin preparation modes, and ASA score were risk factors for SSI in clean wound orthopedic surgery (all P <0.05 ).Multivariate logistic analysis revealed that conventional skin preparation,ASA score ≥ grade Ⅱ,and duration of operation ≥90 minutes were independent risk factors for SSI in patients receiving clean wound orthopedic surgery (OR [95%CI ],3.96 [1 .07-14.70],6.45[1 .97-21 .11],and 4.08[1 .35 -12.30]respectively).Conclusion The improved method of skin preparation,grade I ASA score,and shortening duration of operation can reduce the incidence of SSI in clean wound orthopedic surgery,on the basis of improving the autoimmunization of patients,strengthening prevention and control of healthcare-associated infection can reduce the incidence of SSI in clean wound orthopedic surgery.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy of antibiotic -impregnated shunt catheters in hydrocephalus shunt. Methods A retrospective analysis of clinical data from patients with hydrocephalus shunt surgery in our hospital during the period from May 2011 to August 2016. Based on the types of catheters, patients were divided into common conduit (not AISCs group) and antibiotics infiltrating pipe groups (AISCs group). All patients were followed up for 6 months after shunt surgery. The diversion and infection was recorded. Results The data of 193 patients with hydrocephalus shunt were analyzed, including 124 cases of non-AISCs group and 69 cases of AISCs group. Compared with non-AISCs group,the incidence of postoperative infection of AISCs was significantly decreased(P<0.05). There was no significant difference in the incidence of shunt and reoperation between the two groups (P>0.05). In addition, there was no significant difference in the rupture, displacement and exposure of the two groups (P>0.05).Conclusion ASICs can effectively reduce the incidence of hydrocephalus shunt infection.

Objective To grasp the prevalence of drinking brick-tea type fluorosis in Tibet,and to provide scientific basis for the development of prevention and control strategies.Methods Twelve counties were selected from 7 regions in Tibet.In accordance with the "Drinking Brick-Tea Type Endemic Fluorosis Monitoring Program",a total of 46 administrative villages were selected as survey points using the cluster stratified sampling method.Household water samples,tea-water samples and adult urine samples were collected,and household fluorine intake status and incidence of skeletal fluorosis in adults over 16 years old were investigated.In the rural grade primary school where the village children were concentrated,all children aged 8-12 were selected,urine samples were collected,and the prevalence of dental fluorosis was investigated.Fluoride contents in tea,water,and urine were detected by ion selective electrode method.The dental fluorosis and skeletal fluorosis were examined and judged according to the "Diagnosis of Dental Fluorosis" (WS/T 208-2011) and the "Diagnostic Criteria for Endemic Skeletal Fluorosis" (WS 192-2008),respectively.Results A total of 46 villages in 12 counties were investigated,1 992 of water samples,1 662 of tea samples,664 of children urine samples,3 186 of adult urine samples were detected;547 children aged 8-12 were examined dental fluorosis and 3 196 adults were examinea skeletal fluorosis,respectively.The water fluoride contents in all the investigated villages were less than 1.0 mg/L;the average fluoride content in brick-tea water was 6.12 mg/L,within the range of 0.11-84.00 mg/L,and the average daily brick tea fluorine intake of residents was 24.98 mg.The geometric mean of urine fluoride in children and adults was 0.76,2.28 mg/L,respectively.The prevalence rates of dental fluorosis in children and skeletal fluorosis in adults over 16 years old were 31.81% (174/547) and 48.59% (1 553/3 196),respectively.The children dental fluorosis index was 0.60.The detection rate of skeletal fluorosis in adults aged 36-45 was 13.37% (69/516).Conclusions The prevalence of drinking brick-tea type fluorosis in Tibet is serious and widely distributed.In particular,the prevalence rate of skeletal fluorosis in adults is relatively high,while that of dental fluorosis in children is relatively mild.The prevention and control of drinking brick-tea type fluorosis in Tibet brook no delay.

Dopamine D3 receptor (D3R) is implicated in multiple psychotic symptoms. Increasing the D3R selectivity over dopamine D2 receptor (D2R) would facilitate the antipsychotic treatments. Herein, novel carbazole and tetrahydro-carboline derivatives were reported as D3R selective ligands. Through a structure-based virtual screen, ZLG-25 (D3R Ki = 685 nmol/L; D2R Ki > 10,000 nmol/L) was identified as a novel D3R selective bitopic ligand with a carbazole scaffold. Scaffolds hopping led to the discovery of novel D3R-selective analogs with tetrahydro-β-carboline or tetrahydro-γ-carboline core. Further functional studies showed that most derivatives acted as hD3R-selective antagonists. Several lead compounds could dose-dependently inhibit the MK-801-induced hyperactivity. Additional investigation revealed that 23j and 36b could decrease the apomorphine-induced climbing without cataleptic reaction. Furthermore, 36b demonstrated unusual antidepressant-like activity in the forced swimming tests and the tail suspension tests, and alleviated the MK-801-induced disruption of novel object recognition in mice. Additionally, preliminary studies confirmed the favorable PK/PD profiles, no weight gain and limited serum prolactin levels in mice. These results revealed that 36b provided potential opportunities to new antipsychotic drugs with the multiple antipsychotic-like properties.
