Objective:To explore the relationship between Feng syndrome(风证) and plasma endothelin(ET)in initial condition of acutely ischemic stroke.Methods:Using the table of syndrome quantitative diagnosis which formulated according to experiences of apoplectic experts to grade the fraction of syndrome which appears in initial condition of 151 cases with acute cerebral infarction，at the same time the level of plasma ET was determined by radioimmunoassay(RIA),and then according to the fraction of syndrome patients were divided into two groups,one is Feng syndrome group,the other is nonFeng syndrome group，the levels of plasma ET in this two groups and with healthy subject were compared.Results:It showed that the level of plasma ET in Feng group was significantly higher than that in nonFeng group（P<0.001）；and the same result between the patients and the healthy subjects（all P<0.001） were obtained.Conclusions:The results demonstrate that there is a correlated relationship between Feng syndrome and plasma ET,and the level of plasma ET can be regarded as a microcosmic indices to separate Feng syndrome from nonFeng syndrome.

Biodegradable four-arm star-shaped poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(L-lactic acid) copolymer (sPEG-b-PLLA), four-arm star-shaped poly(L-lactic acid) (sPLLA), linearly poly(ethylene glycol)-block-poly(L-lactic acid) copolymer (PEG-b-PLLA) and linearly poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) were synthesized from L-lactice acid, pentaerythritol, poly(ethylene glycol) and star-shaped poly(ethylene glycol), using the method of melt polycondensation, and the products were characterized and confirmed by 1H NMR spectroscopy, FT-IR and GPC. Four types of ibuprofen loaded microspheres based on the above four types of polymers, i.e., IBU/PLLA, IBU/sPLLA, IBU/PEG-b-PLLA, and IBU/sPEG-b-PLLA microspheres were prepared using the method of solvent evaporation, and the optimized preparation technology was obtained via orthogonal experiments, and the drug-encapsulating properties and in vitro drug-releasing properties were studied. The results showed that compared with IBU/PLLA and IBU/PEG-b-PLLA microspheres, the drug encapsulate efficiency of IBU/sPLLA and IBU/sPEG-b-PLLA microspheres were higher and the in vitro drug releasing rate slowed down, which mainly due to the faster degradation of sPLLA and sPEG-b-PLLA for the star-shaped structure and the block copolymerization of sPEG. The drug releasing curves of these three types of microspheres could be fit by first-order equation, and the releasing mechanism was non-Fickian diffusing, i.e., the synergetic effect of polymer degradation and drug diffusion.

Methods:From 2013 to 2014, nursing students practice in department of orthopedics did not receives occupational protection compensation education, from 2014 to 2015, nursing students received occupational protection compensation education before practice. Questionnaire investigation of nursing students at the end of practice was done. Results:Compared with nursing students practice in department of orthopedic from 2013 to 2014,occupational protection knowledge score was higher and the number of occupational injuries occurred during internship people was significantly lower in nursing students practice in department of orthopedic from 2014 to 2015 (P<0.05 and 0.01) . Conclusion:To strengthen the occupational protection compensation education in nursing students, can improve knowledge of occupational safety and protective ability,reduce occurred rate of the occupational injuries.

OBJECTIVETo identify secondary mutations associated with deafness in a Chinese family affected with deafness.

METHODSThe family has been subjected to clinical and molecular analyses, in addition with measurement of reactive oxygen species and doubling time after establishment of immortalized lymphocyte cell lines.

RESULTSThe results showed that the hearing loss level and audiometric configuration were discrepant among the family members with maternally transmitted hearing loss. The penetrance of hearing loss in this family was respectively 66.7% and 44.4% when aminoglycoside-induced hearing loss was included or excluded. Analysis of whole mitochondrial genome has found 33 variants as previously reported polymorphisms, except for a 12s rRNA A1555G mutation and a tRNA(Thr)T15943C mutation. Haplotype evolutionary tree has verified that this family belonged to East-Asian haplogroup F. 15943 position was located on the T-stem of the tRNA(Thr), which has destroyed the extremely conserved T-A base pair when T changed to C at this position. However, functional experiments indicated that the population doubling time in special galactose and glucose were longer, whilst the level of reactive oxygen species has increased. Compared with the control cell line groups and a family only carrying the 12s rRNA A1555G mutation, all of the three groups belonged to the same haplogroup.

CONCLUSIONMitochondrial tRNA(Thr)T15943C mutation may act as a potential modifying factor and interact with 12s rRNA A1555G mutation, and thereby enhance the penetrance and expression of deafness.

Objective To investigate the role of HK2 and VDAC1 in diacetylmorphine-induced cardiomyocyte apoptosis.Methods A dose-escalation method was used to establish a rat model of diacetylmorphine addiction.Forty SD rats were randomly divided into three groups,the normal group(n=10)was injected with an equal amount of saline subcutaneously,the model group(n=15)was injected with 5 mg/kg of diacetylmorphine for the first time,and then the dose was increased by 2.5 mg/(kg·d)day by day for 20 days,and the group of model +10 D(n=15)continued to increase the dose based on the model group up to the 10th day.Lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)and glutamic oxaloacetic transaminase(GOT)were detected by ELISA;HE staining was used to observe the pathological changes of myocardial tissues in each group;TUNEL staining was used to detect apoptosis in myocardial tissues in each group;and immunohistochemistry,RT-q-analysis,and immunochemistry were used to detect apoptosis in myocardial tissues in each group.Immunohistochemistry,RT-qPCR and Western bl-ot were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression of HK2,VDAC1 and apoptosis-related factors.Results HE staining revealed that myocardial tissues exhibited different degrees of damage with the prolongation of diacetylmorphine intervention.Compared with the normal group,serum LDH,GOT content and myocardial apoptosis rate increased in the model group,mRNA and protein levels of HK2 and anti-apoptotic factor Bcl-2 decreased,mRNA and protein levels of VDAC1 and pro-apoptotic factors Bax and Caspase-3 increased,and the protein level of Clevead Caspase-3 increased;in the model +10 D group the above indexes,there was a statistically significant difference(P<0.05).Conclusion Diacetylmorphine can cause cardiomyocyte apoptosis,and VDAC1 may be involved in the process of cardiomyocyte apoptosis caused by diacetylmorphine.

【Objective】 To investigate the risk factors of vasovagal reactions(VVR) related to plasma donation, so as to put forward clinical suggestions for early identification and accurate intervention of high-risk groups to ensure the safety of plasma donation. 【Methods】 The demographic characteristics(i.e. gender, age, weight) and records of plasma donors(donation history, pulse before plasma donation, duration of collection, etc.) were collected from July to December 2019 in a region of Sichuan. Based on logistic regression analysis, the correlation between these factors and the risk of VVR was explored. 【Results】 The information of 69 172 donors was collected, and the incidence of VVR was 7.04‰. The risk of VVR was reduced by 99% in the group with plasma collection duration less than 30 minutes compared with the group with plasma collection duration more than 50 minutes(OR, 0.01; 95% CI, 0.00~0.01; P<0.001). The risk of male group was 94 % lower than that of female group(OR, 0.06; 95% CI, 0.04~0.10; P<0.001). Compared with the 45~50 kg group, the risk of weight greater than 80 kg group decreased by 80%(OR, 0.20; 95% CI, 0.09~0.42; P<0.001). The risk of repeated donation group was 34 % lower than that of the first time donation group(OR, 0.66; 95% CI, 0.47~0.91; P<0.001). The risk of VVR in the group with pulse greater than 90 bpm before plasma donation was 2.43 times that in the 60~69 bmp group(OR, 2.43; 95% CI, 1.75~3.36; P<0.001). 【Conclusion】 Duration of plasma collection, gender, weight, frequency of plasma donation, pulse before plasma donation and donor status are independent risk factors for plasma donation-related VVR. Among them, plasma collection duration, gender and weight were the main independent risk factors for plasma donation-related VVR. For donors with plasma collection duration more than 50 minutes, female and low weight, higher risk of VVR was presented and more preventive intervention should be given.
