Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(04):-
Objective To observe the effect of iodine deficiency and hypothyroidism on the protein expressions of CREB in the entorhinal cortex of pups.Methods Twenty-eight female Wistar clean rats after pregnancy were randomly divided into control group,hypothyroid 1,2 group and iodine deficient group(7 in each group).From GD6 till PN28,iodine-deficient group was administered with iodine-deficient diet [iodine content:(14.11 ?1.96) ng/g] and tap water;hypothyroid 1 and 2 group were administered with 5 mg/L and 15 mg/L PTU in the drinking water and fed with normal diet [iodine content:(470.50?46.52) ng/g].Control group received tap water and normal diet during the experiment.Five pups from each group were sacrificed and intracardiac perfused at PN7,PN14,PN21,PN28 and PN42.Brains were removed,fixed and sectioned coronally.All sections were observed and were analyzed for the protein expression of CREB by immunohistochemistry in the entorhinal cortex.Results At PN7,there was no significant difference in the expression of Ng in all four groups.At PN14 and PN21,the expression of CREB in the entorhinal cortex in hypothyroid 1,2 group and iodine deficient group were significantly lower than those of controls(P

Objective: To investigate the effect of retinoic acid on the differentiation and development of B lymphocytes, and explore the mechanism of vitaminA in increasing the production of antibodies. Method: In vitro cultured cells from children’s normal mesentery lymph nodes, before and after administration of retinoic acid or retinoic acid antagonist, the changes of cell surface markers were analyzed by flowcytometry to observe the differentiation and maturation of B cells. Results: During culture in vitro, the percent of mature CD19+IgM+ B cells increased and relatively immature CD19+IgM- B cells decreased gradually, and the changes were especially obvious at 48 h. The administration of retinoic acid further increased the percent of CD19+IgM+ B cells, and the enhancement was markedly at 24 and 48 h (P

Objective: To investigate the influence of the expression of retinoic acid receptor genes on the development of B cells in lymph nodes of young children. Method: In situ hybridization was performed on the frozen section of lymph node of young children (≤age 5 ). Six digoxin labeled antisense RNA probes for retinoic acid receptors mRNA(RAR?、?、?、RXR?、?、?)were used. The expression and distribution of retinoic acid receptor genes in lymph nodes and their influence on the differentiation and maturation of B cell were observed. RT-fluorescent PCR was also used to observe the expression levels of retinoic acid receptor genes and their relation to the maturation of B cells. Results: In situ hybridization showed all the 6 retinoic acid receptor genes were expressed in lymphocytes and reticular cells of lymph node, and the distribution was widespread. RT fluorescent PCR also showed a varying expression of 6 retinoic acid receptor genes in lymph node among different age children, but lower in children younger than 1 year, and then increased gradually with the development of immune system. Conclusion: The expression and regulation of retinoic acid receptor genes may take part in the ontogenesis of B cells, and play a key role in the regulation of retinoic acid and enforce the anti-infective immunity in children.

Objective To evaluate the clinical efficacy and security of retroperitoneal laparoscopic ureterolithotomy(RLUL) for impacted ureteral calculi after radical cystectomy and ileal conduit.Methods 5 patients with unilateral impacted ureteral calculi after radical cystectomy and ileal conduit received RLUL were selected,and a retrospective study was performed for manner,duration of surgery,complications and length of stay and other indicators,and the treatment effect was evaluated.Results All procedures were successful and the mean operation time was (82.0±27.7)min,the extubation time was (5.4±1.1)d,hospitalization time was (10.0±2.9)d.Postoperative follow up for 6-48 months,there were no obvious complications.Conclusion The RLUL showed satisfactory availability and security for management ureteral calculi after radical cystectomy and ileal conduit.

The therapeutic approaches for non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC)patients with solitary bone metastases include surgery,radiotherapy,chemotherapy and so on.Recently,molecular targeted therapy such as the Denosumab has become a new option.Though there are so many options,the outcomes of the NSCLC with bone metastases are not so good.But for those with solitary bone metastases,radical treatment is necessary to improve the survival time and prognosis.

Objective:To investigate the application value of serum procalcitonin in patients with viral infection,bacterial infection and severe bacterial infection.Methods:Selected60 cases of patients with infection who were treated in our hospital from June 2014toDecember 2016,divided into three groupsaccording to the severity of the infection,viral infection (group A) 15 cases,general bacterial infection (group B) 22 cases,and severe bacterial infection (group C) 23 cases.Three groups of patients were treated with symptomatic treatment,and after admission,the serum procalciton in levels were detected in 1,3,5,7 d,and compared with the serum procalcitonin levels before and after treatment in the three groups.Results:The serum procalcitonin ≥ 0.5 μg/L number of B group and C group had no significant difference (P>0.05),the serum procalcitonin ≥ 0.5 μg/L number of A group was significantly lower than that of B group and C group (P<0.05);the survival rate of severe bacterial infection patients whose serum procalcitonin was higher than than 0.5 μg/L was significantly higher than those who with serum procalcitonin lower than 0.5 μg/L (P<0.05).Conclusion:Serumprocalcitonin level had a good application value in the clinical diagnosis prognostic prediction of patients with severe infection.
