ObjectiveTo observe the effect of reduced glutathione(GSH) on expression of malondialdehyde(MDA),glutathione peroxidase(GSH-PX) and superoxide dismutase(SOD) after focal cerebral infarction in rats.MethodsRat models of middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) were estabilished with thread after 2-hour ischemia and 6-hour reperfusion.Rats were divided at random into three groups,i.e.,sham-operated,control and treatment group(with GSH 1200 mg/kg) respectively.After the rats model was performed,neurology deficit score,the size of brain infarct region and the change of brain tissue pathologic were evaluated.Contents of MDA and activity of SOD and GSH-PX were detected with spectrophotometer.ResultsCompared with the control group,GSH can ameliorate neurological deficit score and decrease infarct volume induced by MCAO.GSH may reduce contents of MDA and improve activity of SOD and GSH-PX in brain tissue.ConclusionGSH may reduce contents of MDA and improve activity of SOD and GSH-PX so as to enhance capability of eliminating oxygen free radical,and play a neuroprotective effect after cerebral focal ischemia reperfusion.

OBJECTIVETo observe the fetus protection effects of Zhixue Baotai Decoction (ZBD) on women of early threatened abortion with dark area surrounding pregnancy sac.

METHODSThe 105 patients with early threatened abortion, in whom vaginal bleeding was shown already, were randomly assigned to the treatment group and the control group, who were treated respectively with ZBD and progesterone to protect fetus. The efficacy of treatment was evaluated by dynamic monitoring of serum hormone and B-ultrasonic examination.

RESULTSAmong the 54 cases in the treatment group the fetus was protected successfully, showing a fetus protecting rate of 81.5%; while among the 51 cases in the control group, the protection was effective in 22 cases (43.1%), the success rate in the former was better (P<0.01). The dark area was absorbed in 16 out of 19 cases (84.2%) in the treatment group, while in the control group absorption occurred only in 6 out of 17 (35.3%).

CONCLUSIONThe effect of ZBD is superior to that of progesterone in treating women of early threatened abortion with dark area surrounding pregnancy sac.

Objective To establish a method for detecting HBV cccDNA in hepatocytes of chronic hepatitis B patients.Method 21 liver biopsies from the hepatic operation patients in the hospital of jiangsu province,concluding 19 HBV chronic infected patients (10 HBeAg positive patients and 9 HBeAg negative patients) and 4 uninfected patients,HBV DNA(+) serum of hepatitis B patients was thought as rcDNA.To use proteinase K to release HBV cccDNA and genomic DNA,then divide the cell lysis solution into two parts,one for detecting HBV cccDNA,the other for detecting the number of ?-Globin as internal control. Nucleic acid for detecting HBV cccDNA extracted by phenol-chloroform was digested by plasmid-safe ATP dependent DNase which was applied to digest the single strand DNA in rcDNA and ssDNA,then was quantitated by the primers spanning across the nick and SYBR Green Ⅰ dye.The specifity of PCR production was confirmed by the sequence analysis and rcDNA comparison.The significance of the difference of HBV cccDNA level between HBeAg(+) and HBeAg(-) group was analyzed by two group t test.Results The agarose gelelectrophoresis showed the molecular weight of the PCR production was about 350bp.The coincidence rate of PCR production and goal fragement was nearly 99% by sequence analysis.The result of PCR detection of rcDNA group was negative.The positive rate of HBV cccDNA of liver biopsies of HBeAg (+) patients detected by this method was 100%,the level of HBV cccDNA in the liver biopsies of HBeAg (+) patients was higher than HBeAb(+) patients.Conclusions The specificity of the method is proved by agarose electrophoresis,gene sequencing of the PCR product and rcDNA comparison.The quantitative method that use SYBR Green Ⅰ dye and ?-Globin as internal control is more specific,sensitive and economical,and more suitable for clinical purpose.

Objective To analyze the genetic model of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD).Methods The segregation analysis and polygenic multiple threshold model were used to prove the polygenic model and to estimate the heritability and recurrence risk of ADHD in each degree relatives.Results 1. The average heritability of ADHD was (102.47?9.78)%;2.The first-degree relatives of probands were in high risk for ADHD(23.0%)compared with colony prevalence rate(2.6%). The ADHD prevalence of each degree relatives rapidly decreased with the increased magnitude of consanguineous relationship of each degree relatives and ADHD probands. Conclusions The genetic model of ADHD is the most likely polygenic inheritance with major genes, which suggested that the genetic factor might play an important role in the liability variance of ADHD.Apart from the involvement of multiple genes,each gene contributes a small additive effect,and the major genes may be involved as well.

Objective： This study was designed to investigate the relationship between expression level of multidrug resistance-associated protein (MRP) or P-glycoprotein (P-gp) genes and chemotherapy efficacy or clinical drug resistance in the patients with malignant lymphomas. Methods： Using the methods of semi quantitative reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and flow cytometry (FCM), The authors examined the expression level of MRP and P-gp of 46 lymphoma patients. Results： The expression level and positive rate of P-gp in the recurrent patients was higher than that in untreated patients (P<0.001). There was no difference in MRP gene expression level and positive rate between recurrent and untreated patients (P>0.05). Chemotherapeutic effective rate in P-gp positive patients (26.67％ ) was lower than that in P-gp negative patients (83.87％ )(P<0.001). While there was no difference between MRP gene positive and negative patients, their chemotherapy effective rate had no difference. Relevant analysis showed that there was no correlation between MRP and P-gp (r-0.0808, P>0.05). Conclusion： P-gp expression correlates to multidrug resistance, and is the major mechanism of clinical drug resistance of lymphomas, whereas, MRP gene does not appears to play any role in that course.

Considering the interference factors,the fetal free DNA in the maternal circulation could be used to prenatally detect fetal ABO blood groups.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the effect of meatoplasty with the pedicle flap in the treatment of meatal stenosis secondary to chronic balanitis.

METHODSWe retrospectively analyzed 32 cases of meatal stenosis secondary to chronic balanitis treated by meato- plasty with the pedicle flap. All the patients had a history of chronic balanitis and had received meatal dilatation or simple ventral mea- totomy without significant effect. Their mean maximum urinary flow rate (Qmax) was (4.3 ± 2.4) ml/s. During the operation, A "/\"-shaped incision was made in the healthy epidermis and a flap was harvested from the frenulum. After complete removal of the scar, the flap was placed into the urethral wall, followed by reconstruction of the external urethral orifice.

RESULTSThe patients were fol- lowed up for 6 to 30 months, which revealed smooth urination in all the patients with Qmax of (26.7 ± 4.5) ml/s and normal erectile function and uresiesthesis.

CONCLUSIONWith little invasiveness and few complications, meatoplasty with the pedicle flap is an ideal surgical method for the treatment of meatal stenosis secondary to chronic balanitis. However, there might be some change in the normal appearance of the balanus postoperatively, and its long-term effect needs further observation.

Objective To investigate the prevalence of overweight and obesity in Chinese ninth grade students and to analyze the influential factors that contribute to this situation. Methods A total of 5 967 students were selected from the 2016 China Education Panel Survey. Chi-square test was used to examine the differences in the prevalence of overweight and obesity among different groups and Logistic regression models were used to analyze the factors affecting obesity in boys and girls. Results The prevalence of overweight and obesity was 15.23%, 18.55% and 11.84% in total, male and female ninth grade students respectively. The multiple Logistic regression analysis indicated that the risk factors between boys and girls were significantly different. The main factors affecting boys obesity rate were one-child, boarding, both parents obesity, taking health education courses, having indoor stadium and screen time. Meanwhile, for girls the factors were boarding, both parents obesity and sports time. Conclusions Schools should arrange the schedule of boarding students and offer health education courses based on the characteristics of boys and girls. Meanwhile schools should unite parents to control adolescents’ screen time and nutrition balance, which is benefit for preventing adolescents overweight and obesity.

Objective　To ascertain the natural infection rate of hemorrhagic fever with renal syndrome virus (HFRSV) among its hosts and the type of the natural foci for providing some baseline data for the immigrant health and epidemic prevention of the Three-Gorge region. Methods　Epidemiological survey on the field was performed including epidemiological data collection, ecology of rodents and pathogen detection. HFRS virus antigen of hosts were detected by the direct immunofluorescent assay (DIFA) technique and determination of HFRSV-RNA by ISH were carried out from HFRSV-Ag-positive animals. Results　HFRSV-Ag-positive animals were found in 5 migration areas ie Baitao Town of Fuling Section, Wansheng Village of Fengjie County and Dachang Town of Wushan County. The positive hosts were as follows, Rattus Norvegicus, Apodemus agrarius, Anourusurex squamipes, Mus musculus and Rattus flavipectus. The positive rate of HFRSV in the mice of 5 migration areas were 19.4%, 17.0%, 14.0%, 13.7%, and 8.5% respectively. The results showed that the lung tissues of some hosts in all five migration areas were HFRSV-RNA-positive. Baitao Town and Peishi Town were attributed to mixture type epidemic areas while. Kangle Town, Wansheng Village and Dachang Town were domestic rats type epidemic areas. Conclusion　This study shows that the five migration areas are natural epidemic foci of HFRS. It is predicted that maximum risk of HFRS breakout or epidemic may take place after the completion of the San Xia Reservoir(the Three-Gorges Reservoir), which results from rodent moving toward higher land. Therefore, deratization and preventive measures for rat are important in migration areas.
