To study the peptidergic innervation in cardiac adenocarcinoma, immunohistochemistry method was employed to examine the distribution of ten kinds of neuropeptide immuno reactive nerve fibers in human cardiac adenocarcinoma, which was surgically obtained, and their relationship with tumor cells. Substantial amount of many kinds of neuropeptides including GAL, Dyn, NPY immuno reactive nerve fibers were observed in the tumor. Most of them were closely in contact with tumor cells. It is possible that there is peptidergic innervation in cardiac adenocarcinoma.

Objective To preliminarily establish the reference interval of serum non‐esterified fatty acids(NEFA)among popula‐tion in Wuhan area by enzymatic assay .Methods NEFA level of serum samples from A total of 1 250 individuals undergoing healthy physical examination in our hospital were selected as the research subjects .The Olympus AU5400 biochemistry analyzer and SEKISUI reagents were adopted to detect serum NEFA level .The regression analysis was adopted to analyze the NEFA influencing factors .The NEFA 95% reference interval was estimated by using the normal distribution method and the reference interval was verified .Results The regression analysis showed that the body mass index (BMI)and age had significant effect on NEFA (P<0 .01) .NEFA was highest in the group aged ≥60 years old ,followed by the group of 18- <45 years old ,and lowest in the group of 45-60 years old ;NEFA was highest in the group of BMI<18 .5 kg/m2 .The 95% reference interval of NEFA for healthy popula‐tion in Wuhan area was estimated as 204 .6 -975 .2 μmol/L .The detected NEFA level for clinical verifiers was 242 .0 -831 .2μmol/L ,which conformed to the above reference interval .Conclusion The serum NEFA reference interval among healthy popula‐tion in Wuhan area is primarily established .

Objective To investigate platelet counts and acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis correlation analysis and possible influential factors.Methods Data of 117 patients from October 2012 to October 2015 treated in our hospital,of whom 57 with acute obstructive suppurative cholangitis and 60 with common acute cholangitis were analyzed retrospectively to explore whether there was a correlation between thrombocytopenia (100 × 109/L) and AOSC,then experimental and control groups were established according to thrombocytopenia in the AOSC patients.The patient's age,sex,previous biliary surgery,white blood cells(WBC) count after admission within 6h,the percentage of neutrophils (NEU％),calcitonin (PCT) were retrospectively analyzed to further explore the influence factors of thrombocytopenia in AOSC patients.Results By comparison with the common acute cholangitis group,thrombocytopenia in AOSC group had obvious difference (P =0.01).In experimental group,NEU％,PCT had statistical difference compared with those in control group (P ＜ 0.05),and the patient's age,sex,previous biliary surgery,white blood cells(WBC) after admission within 6h count had no statistical significance.The logistic multivariate regression analysis showed that,NEU％,PCT were the independent predictors.Conclusion Correlated with AOSC,thrombocytopenia can be valued as indicators of the severity of acute cholangitis.In AOSC patients,NEU％,PCT were independent predictors of thrombocytopenia.

Objective To study the expression of estrogen receptor beta (ER ?) in the hypothalamic paraventricular nucleus (PVN) of maternal mice during pregnancy and lactation. Methods Nickel ammonium sulfate intensified immunocytochemical method was employed to investigate the expression of ER ? in the postnatal developing PVN of female mice. Results ER ? immunopositive materials were predominantly localized in the magnocellular division of PVN, and sparse positive cells were found in the parvocellular division. Most of the positive materials were found in the whole cell nuclei, but no obvious cytoplasma or process immunopositive cells were detected. In the pregnant female brain, generally, the ER ? level was lower. The lowest levels of expression were found at mid pregnancy, and then peaked at peripartum (from gestational days 18 to postpartum day 1), followed by another decrease to normal adult level from postpartum day 4. Conclusion The above results suggest that during pregnancy and lactation, ER ? may be predominantly involved in the PVN regulation of parturitional process.

Objective:To investigate the effects of Qingluotongbi granule(QLT) on RANKL(receptor activator of nuclear factor-?B ligand) expression in peripheral blood T lymphocytes of RA patients.Methods:RANKL expression of peripheral blood T lymphocyts was examined using flow cytometry.Six cases of RA patients were enrolled with six healthy volunteers as the control.Meanwhile examination for the level of RANKL expression in T cells after incubation in presense of QLT-contained serum was observed.Results:RANKL expression of peripheral blood T lymphocytes was much higher in active state RA patients than in healthy people(P

0.05).In the followed-up patients,univariant analysis demonstrated that the expressions of CD44 and Ezrin and their coexpression were correlated with disease free survival(DFS)rate(P

Objective To observe the effect of serum containing Qingluo Tongbi Granula (QTG) on proliferation of fibroblast-like synoviocytes(FLS) and receptor activator of nuclear factor-?B ligand (RANKL) expression in FLS from patients with rheumatoid arthritis.Methods Synovial specimens obtained from the joint of patients were minced into small pieces for the culture of FLS.The morphological features of FLS subcultrued for 3～5 generations were observed under inverted microscope and electron microscope.The effect of QTG-containing serum on the proliferation of FLS was examined by MTT assay.The expression of RANKL in FLS was assessed by RT-PCR.Results After cocultured by serum containing large-dose QTG for 72 hours,proliferation of FLS and expression of RANKL were inhibited.Conclusion QTG can inhibit FLS proliferation,and reduce the expression of RANKL,which may be one of the therapeutic mechanisms of QTG for rheumatoid arthritis.

Objective To develop a sheet to assess infection risks in children with malignant tumors after chemotherapies.Methods A risk assessing sheet (to consult) was designed and used to consult 24 experts from 9 hospitals located in 6 provinces.After 3 rounds of expert consultation,a sheet (to try) was developed and tried by nurses in the clinic.And then a sheet (to use) was developed.Results The authority coefficient of experts was 0.79,the positive coefficient of experts was 1.00 and 0.96.The sheet (to try) developed after 3 rounds of expert consultation consisted of 30 items and was divided into 2 parts,one was about static items and the other was about dynamic items.Depending on the trying of the sheet (to try),the sheet (to use) was constituted by 8 fundamental immune state assessing items and 16 infection risk screening items.Conclusions Experts consulted in the study were quite reliable,representative and positive.The sheet (to use) seemed to have good pertinence and practicability.Further studies should be done to verify whether the sheet (to use) may help nurses to prevent children with malignant tumors from infections after chemotherapies.

As a vital component in an overall laboratory animal care and use program , development of a disaster plan plays a critical role for every research institution .Currently, most of domestic institutions would draw up an“emergency operation plan , EOP”, but ignoring a practicable “business continuity plan , BCP” in establishing a disaster plan.In this article, we will discusse about the definition of disaster , how to set up an EOP, and how to establish a thorough BCP , in order to show an integrated and professional disaster plan in laboratory animal care and use program .
