Objective To evaluate the effect of isoflurane anesthesia on Wnt3a expression in the hippocampus of developing rats.Methods Twenty-four 7-day-old male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 125-155 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n=8 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),4 h inhalation of 2％ isoflurane group (group I4),and 6 h inhalation of 2％ isoflurane group (group I6).The rats were sacrificed at 6 h after the end of treatment in each group,and the hippocampi were removed for determination of Wnt3a mRNA expression (by real-time reverse transcriptase polymerase chain reaction) and Wnt3a expression (by Western blot).Results Compared with group C,the expression of Wnt3a and Wnt3a mRNA in hippocampi was significantly up-regulated in I4 and I6 groups (P＜0.05).Compared with group I4,the expression of Wnt3a in hippocampi was significantly up-regulated (P＜0.05),and no significant change was found in the expression of Wnt3a mRNA in hippocampi in group I6 (P＞0.05).Conclusion The mechanism of isoflurane-induced neurotoxicity is probably related to upregulation of Wnt3a expression in the hippocampal tissues of developing rats.

Objective To investigate the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)features and pathologic characteristics of the fungal ball (FB)of the nasal sinuses,for the purpose to provide reference for surgical treatment.Methods The MRI data of 27 patients of nasal sinuses who were diagnosed by surgical pathology were retrospectively analyzed.Of 27 patients,there were 14 male and 13 female,aged from 49 to 86,anverage age 57.6,with course of disease from 6 months to 5 years.All patients preoperatively recieved 1.5 T high field strength mri scan and enhanced scan and functional nasal endoscopic surgical radical resection lesions.Results Maxillary sinus disease,which unilateral 92%(25 /27),bilateral 4% (1 /27),sphenoid sinus disease 4%(1 /27),FB was located in the sinus cavity central.FB isointense signal (com-pared with the white matter of the brain),hypointense on T2WI,DWI (b value =1000)was mixed high and low signal,Gd DTPA enhanced no enhancement,with around mucosal thickening isointense signal,high signal intensity on T2WI,ring enhancement.The histopathology slices of 27 cases were found wrapped fungal hyphae,which confirmed for FB.The pathological basis of FB was fungal silk containing manganese (paramagnetic substances),FB calcium phosphate and calcium sulfate and other substances,due to the magnetic susceptibility effect of T2WI was low signal,DWI high and low mixed signal changes.Conclusion MRI can reflect the histopathological characteristics of FB,and it is of great value in diagnosis and differential diagnosis,as well as providing important imaging evidence for patients undergoing surgical treatment.

Objective To investigate the variation of the thioredoxin system (Trx),and the role of it in transient out-ward potassium current (Ito) channels in left ventricular myocytes of diabetes mellitus (DM) in rats. Methods Forty-five SD rats were divided into DM group and control group. DM group were treated with streptozotocin (STZ) to induce DM model. The values of left ventricular end diastolic diameter (LVEDD), end-systolic diameter (LVESD), fractional shortening (LVFS), ejection fraction (LVEF) and heart rate (HR), QRS duration and corrected QT (QTc) interval were detected by echocardiogra-phy (UCG) and electrocardiogram (ECG) in two groups. The left ventricular myocardial tissue samples were taken to detect the Trx,glutaredoxin (GRX),thioredoxin reductase (TrxR) and glutathione reductase (GR) by using UV spectrophotometer. The level of free thiol (P-SH) of total cardiac protein was detected by 5, 5′-dithio-bis-2-nitrobenzoic acid method. Ito of the cardiomyocytes was recorded by whole-cell patch-clamp method. After being incubated in vitro with insulin(Ins), treated with TrxR inhibitor-auranofin(AF) and 13-cis-retinoic acid(RA), the changes of Ito of the cardiomyocytes were observed. Results Compared with control group, the values of heart rate (HR), left ventricular minor axis decurtaion rate (LVFS), left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) and TrxR were lower in DM group. The values of LVEDD, LVESD, QRS and QTc inter-vals, Trx, Grx and P-SH were higher in DM group than those of control group. Ito density was significantly higher in DM+Ins group than that of DM group, Ins+RA group and Ins+AF group when the stimulation voltage ≥ 0 mV (P ＜ 0.05). Conclusion The impaired Trx system in diabetic rat myocardium was the electrophysiological basis of the reduced ventric-ular function and arrhythmia. And Ins was able to reverse the decreased Ito of cardiomyocytes in DM rats.

Objective To assess the quality of life(QOL)of advanced schistosomiasis patients,and understand its influenc-ing factors. Methods A questionnaire survey was carried out by using WHOQOL-BREF,and the information of demography, family,illness,health status,and health service was collected. Results Among the 217 advanced patients,the average age was (75.33±6.94)years,the ratio of male to female was 2∶5,89.86%of them were farmers,75.58%were illiterate or semi-illiterate, and 88.94%belonged to the splenomegaly type. Totally 61.29%of the cases had the scores over average for the overall QOL,but the scores for the health and well-being were lower. There were a significant difference among the average scores of different do-mains of QOL(χ2 =23.46,P<0.01). Both the year of being diagnosed and clinical classification was not associated with the scores of QOL. Regularly taking physical activities was significantly associated with each of all the 4 domains. The factors such as onset of acute disease in 2 weeks,taking therapeutic pills daily,marital status,age,etc. impacted the specific domains of QOL. The overall QOL and the 4 domains of the patients were at medium level;meanwhile,the score of physiological domain was lower than the scores of the other 3 domains. Conclusions The QOL(s)of advanced schistosomiasis patients in Qingpu District are rel-atively good. It is important to provide effective community health services and encourage the patients to take part in tempered sports or physical activities in order to keep their normal activities of daily living.

Through the analysis of the problems of health service delivery system in rural areas and the causes of the abnormal operation of the three-tier rural health service network, this article probed into the continuity of health service in rural China. These issues are observed from the aspects of continuity of disciplines, institutions, relationship and health information. Policy recommendations include remolding the institutional relations in the three-tier rural health service network, constructing reasonable supporting environment and improving the health delivery quality.

With comparison of three different methods for the marking of amines compound, an optimal deri vatization method was selected.5-(2-Hydroxyethyl) benzoacridine (HBA) reacts with coupling agent N,N'-carbonyldiimidazole(CDI) to form an activated amide intermediate 2-(benzoacridin) ethyl-imidazole-1-carbox-ylate(BAEIC).BAEIC, which is dual-sensitive probe, reacts preferably with amino compounds at 80 ℃ in the presence of 4-dimethylaminopyridine(DMAP) catalyst in N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF) solvent to give the corresponding sensitively fluorescent derivatives with an excitation maximum at λ_(ex) of 280 nm and an emis sion maximum at λ_(em) of 510 nm.BAEIC-amine derivatives simultaneously exhibited high ionization potential with percent ionization (changing from 5.62% to 58.08% in aqueous acetonitrile and from 2.14% to 56.58% in aqueous methanol.Derivatives were not only sensitive to fluorescence but also to MS ionizable potential.The fluorescence detection limits(5/iV = 3) were 0.12-0.59 μg/L.The online APCI-MS detection limits were 1.9-14 μg/L(S/N=5).

A survey on professional knowledge levels was conducted from April to October 2019 among 388 general practitioners (GPs) from 46 community health service centers and 30 township health centers of 6 provinces selected by stratified random sampling method. The overall knowledge test score was 31.82—84.09(56.94±9.19) points, and the pass rate was 36.3% (141/388). There were significant differences in test scores among participants with different types of work units, regions, provinces, marital status, educational background, professional titles, types of employment, length of service, and training status (all P<0.05). Multivariate regression analysis showed that educational background ( B=-2.835), professional title ( B=-8.867), and participation in professional course training ( B=2.214) were the influencing factors of knowledge level (all P<0.05). The pass rates in knowledge of prevention/health management (13.7%, 53/388) and policies and regulations (12.1%, 47/388) were low. The results show that the levels of professional knowledge among GPs working in grassroots health institutions are relatively low, and suggest that continuing education should be strengthened to improve the professional knowledge level of GPs in primary care institutions, particularly, knowledge of health policies and regulations, disease prevention and health management.

The fact that incision inflammation ratio is related to the time of preoperative skin preparation was explored.227 cases made skin preparation a day or two hours before surgical operation were analysed prospectively in this study.There is statistical significant difference between the two periods of preoperative skin preparation:the second (two hours before surgical operation) can greatly lower the ratio of incision inflammation.

Objective: To further investigate the effects of iodine intake on thyroid function and its possible mechanism. Method: Wistar rats were randomly divided into six groups: LI, NI, 5HI, 10HI, 50HI, 100HI. Different groups of rats were fed with feed and water of different iodine content. 3, 6 and 12 months after administration, they were sacrificed and thyroids were excised. The thyroid D1 mRNA expression level was determined by RT-PCR semi-quantitative method and the thyroid D1 activity was analyzed by using 125I-rT3 as substrate. Results: Compared with NI group, the thyroid D1 mRNA expression was decreased in all HI groups, and D1 activity was significantly higher in LI group and lower in HI groups. There was a tendency of decrease in D1 activity with increased doses of iodine intakes. Conclusion: In the case of iodine deficiency, thyroid D1 activity will increase greatly in order to convert more T4 to T3, but deficient iodine intake doesn’t improve thyroid D1 mRNA expression. Excess iodine can inhibit both thyroid D1 mRNA expression and its activity.

Objective To observe the therapeutic effectiveness of monosialo gangliosides injection (GM-1) on cerebral palsy (CP) of children.Methods 87 children with CP were randomly divided into the observation group (51 cases) and control group (36 cases), and treated with physical therapy, acupuncture, massage and hyperbaric oxygen, but monosialo gangliosides was added to the observation group only. The development quotient (DQ) of each group was calculated by Gesell development schedules before and after the therapy respectively. Therapeutic effects of two groups were compared.Results The therapeutic effect of the observation group was more satisfactory than that of control group(P<0.05). The observation group expressed higher DQ and scores of gross motor, fine motor, language and reaction than that of control group. Conclusion Monosialo ganglioside is effective on CP.
