Objective To study the changes of serum CORT,SOD and LPO in large-acreage cerebral insarction(LCI) and hyperthermia patients,and observe the effect of head hypothermia on them.Methods All cases of LCI were divided into head hypothermia treatment group(group A,n=49),warm water bath and glacial saline enema treatment group(group B,n=43),and health group(control group,group C,n=30).With the methods of radioimmunoassay,hydroxylamine oxidation and thirddialdehyde,the serum CORT,SOD and LPO level in the two groups were measured on the 2nd day after hospitalization and on the 2nd day,the 3rd day and the 4th day after hyperthermia.In addition,the life quality scores of the two groups were compared.Results The serum CORT,LPO of group A and group B were higher on the 2nd day after hospitaiization than the group C(P0.05),while the SOD were lower(P

Objective To investigate the traits of anxiety and depression of psychological stress insomniacs and the relationship to personality and behavior type.Methods The anxiety and depression as well as personality and behavior type of 56 psychological stress insomniacs were assessed with Self-Rating Anxiety Scale(SAS) and Self-Rating Depression Scale(SDS) as well as Type A Behavior Pattern Scale(TABP).Results Compared with domestic norm,scores of SAS and SDS of psychological stress insomniacs were significantly higher(P<0.01).According to classification standard of SAS and SDS,54 patients(96.4%) were with slight or moderate anxiety and 50 patients(89.3%) with slight or moderate depression.The general distribution of severity of anxiety and depression was no difference(P>0.05).The number of type A-behavior psychological stress insomniacs was 22,obviously more than type A(8 cases),type M(5 cases),type B-(13 cases) and type B(8 cases).Conclusion Psychological stress insomniacs have obvious anxiety and depression.

The lipids present in hepatic stellate cells (HSCs) lipid droplets include retinyl ester, triglyceride, cholesteryl ester, cholesterol, phospholipids and free fatty acids. Activation of HSCs is crucial to the development of fibrosis in liver disease. During activation, HSCs transform into myofibroblasts with concomitant loss of their lipid droplets and production of excessive extracellular matrix. Release of lipid droplets containing retinyl esters and triglyceride is a defining feature of activated HSCs. Accumulating evidence supports the proposal that recovering the accumulation of lipids would inhibit the activation of HSCs. In healthy liver, quiescent HSCs store 80%of total liver retinols and release them depending on the extracellular retinol status. However, in injured liver activated HSCs lose their retinols and produce a considerable amount of extracellular matrix, subsequently leading to liver fibrosis. Further findings prove that lipid metabolism of HSCs is closely associated with its activation, yet relationship between activated HSCs and the lipid metabolism has remained mysterious.

Objective To investigate quantitatively the thermal sensation characteristics of the patients with facial palsy and the value of quantitative thermal test (QTT) in prognostication.Methods The QTT threshold of the fore ear and cheek of 30 patients with peripheral facial palsy was tested,their facial nerve conduction velocity was measured,and House-Brackmann facial nerve grading system was used to estimate facial nerve function at 2～3 weeks,a month,two months and half a year post onset.Results It was found that 12 out of 30 patients had abnor- mal QTT threshold value;the majority of them suffered from herpes virus and diabetes.In those with abnormal QTT, 8 were with diabetes mellitus (account for 66.7%),3 with partial shingles (account for 25%),and 1 with positive serum virus infection (account for 8.3%).Those with normal QTT were significantly different from those with abnor- mal QTT,with regard to the House-Brackmann rating scores after 2 and 6 months post onset (P

Objective To investigate the effects of rabbit carotid artery cannula on atherosclerosis formation and β-catenin expression.Methods Fifteen 2-month-old New Zealand rabbits weighing(2.0±0.2)kg were randomly divided into three groups,high-fat diet group,left common carotid artery cannula group and left common carotid artery cannula plus high-fat diet group,5 cases in each group,and taking the right blood vessels in the left common carotid artery cannula group served as the control group.The animals were sacrificed after 9-week feeding,and the total rabbit carotid artery in each group was taken;the real-time PCR and immunohistochemistry were used to detect β-catenin mRNA and protein expression targeting in rabbit common carotid artery tissue.Results The real-time PCR results showed that the β-catenin mRNA expression in the left common carotid artery cannula group was higher than that in the control group,high fat diet group and the left common carotid artery cannula + high-fat diet group.The immunohistochemistry results showed that,except for the control group,various groups had the β-catenin protein location in the cytoplasma,moreover which in the left carotid artery cannula group and left common carotid artery cannula +high-fat diet group mainly located in the area of intimal hyperplasia.Conclusion β-catenin is highly expressed in the atherosclerotic vessel wall caused by rabbit carotid artery cannula.

Objective To investigate relationships between signal/cutoff (S/CO) ratios of antiHCV recombinant immunoblot assay (RIBA) and their positivity with different chemiluminescence immunoassay(CLIA) reagents.Methods A case-control study was performed.From March 2014 to March 2015,anti-HCV antibody was detected in 2 616 serum of outpatients and inpatients coming from Department of Clinical Laboratory,Qilu Hospital of Shandong University by three kinds of homemade CLIA reagents and one imported CLIA reagents.The positive samples were further tested by RIBA.The correlation between the positivity and the S/CO ratios was analyzed.The difference between different reagents were compared by x2 method.Results The predicted positivities of Shandong Laibo were 97.8％ and 33.3％ with S/CO ratio ≥ 26.8 and 1 to 26.8,respectively;The predicted positivities of Beijing Yuande were 96.7％ and 20％ with S/CO ratio ≥ 16.6 and 1 to 16.6,respectively;The predicted positivities of Beijing Kemei were 97.0％ and 9.8％ with S/CO ratio ≥ 16.7 and 1 to16.7,respectively;The predicted positivities of Abbott were 96.9％ and 12.8％ with S/CO ratio≥5 and 1 to 5,respectively.Conclusions Anti-HCV CLIA S/CO ratio and RIBA confirmatory test results have some relevance.Domestic reagents also can refer to import reagents determine the relationship between the positivity and the S/CO ratio.Different domestic reagent of positivity has different S/CO ratio.Although each reagent S/CO ratio to the same positivity has large difference,suggesting each manufacturer should set their products corresponding values according to the situation,providing reference for the clinical use of unit in result determination of the clinical trials.

In order to make sure whether Panax notoginseng is sensitive to chloridion and guide fertilization in planting of P. notoginseng, the effects of the different proportion of potassium chloride (KCl) and potassium sulfate (K2SO4) on the yield, quality of P. notoginseng were studied. The results showed that K fertilizer significantly improved the growth of P. notoginseng and increased the biomass per plant or per pot and the content of N, P, K and the content of saponin. In cases of conditions such as potassium, and the effects of K2SO4 on increasing the petiole length, leaf size, rhizome length, root length, and content and accumulation of Ginsenoside Rg1 were better than those of KCl. While compared with K2SO4, KCl was more conducive to augmenting height, root width, the biomass of shoot, rhizome, root and the content of Ginsenoside Rb1 and Rd. There was not remarkable difference in agronomic characters, biomass and the content of N, P, K among KCl, K2SO4 and the combination of KCl and K2SO4. However, the content of saponin of the treatment with combination of KCl and K2SO4 was significant higher than that of single KCl or K2SO4 treatments. K fertilizer significantly increased yield and the content of saponins. And P. notoginseng was not sensitive to chloridion. KCl increased the yield and the content of saponins of P. notoginseng as well as K2SO4, and the combination treatment was superior to single treatment. It is recommended that the KCl should be adopted in production, to reduce the cost of potash fertilizer.

OBJECTIVEIn order to improve the irrigation for Panax notginseng growing seedlings, different mulching ways were carried out to investigate the effects of double mulching.

METHODField experiment was applied to study soil moisture, soil temperature and bulk density of different mulching ways while the germination rate and seedlings growth also were investigated.

RESULTCompared with the traditional single mulching with pine leaves or straw, double mulching using plastic film combined with pine leaves or straw could reduce 2/3 volumes of irrigation at the early seedling time Double mulching treatments didn't need to irrigate for 40 days from seeding to germination, and kept soil moisture and temperature steady at whole seedling time about 30% and 9.0-16.6 degrees C, respectively. The steady soil moisture and temperature benefited to resist late spring cold and germinate earlier while kept germination regularly, higher rate and seedlings quality. In contrast, single mulching using pine leaves or straw had poor soil moisture and temperature preserving, needed to irrigate every 12-day, meanwhile dropped the germination and booming time 14 days and 24-26 days, respectively, reduced germination rate about 11.3%-8.7%. However, single pine leaves mulching was better than straw mulching. In addition, though better effects of soil moisture and temperature preserving as well as earlier and higher rate of germination with single plastic films mulching had, some disadvantages had also been observed, such as daily soil temperature changed greatly, seedling bed soil hardened easily, more moss and weeds resulted difficulty in later management.

CONCLUSIONTo the purpose of saving water and labor as well as getting higher germination rate and seedlings quality, double mulching using plastic films combined pine leaves at the early time and single mulching removing plastic films at the later time is suggested to apply in the growing seedlings of P. notoginseng.
