Objective To study the non-covalent binding between the tectoridin(TE) and plasma proteins.Methods The molecular weights of TE,human serum albumin(HSA),?1-acid glycoprotein(AAG) and the protein-drug complexes were measured by the electrospray ion trap mass spectrometry(ESI-MS).The maximum stoichiometric ratios were obtained according to the molecular weight change of the complexes before and after binding reaction.The binding constants(K) of the complexes were calculated by the Scatchard equation.The main sorts of binding force of the complexes were deduced according to the relationship between the reaction temperature and the thermodynamic parameters(?H and ?S).Results The K of the complexes were 1.914?104 mol/L for TE-HSA and 5.893?104 mol/L for TE-AAG,and the number of binding sites were 7.8 and 3.3,respectively.The main sorts of binding force between TE-HSA or TE-AAG were static-electricity gravitation.Conclusion ESI-MS is a good method for studying of the TE-protein non-covalent binding with some advantages in sensitivity,high-speed,and accuracy.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of the quantitative detection of plasma 1,3-β-D-glucan in penicilliposis marneffei. Methods The 1,3-β-D-glucan concentrations were detected by using a G test. Results In 60 New Zealand rabbits infected by Penicillium marneffei,the levels of 1,3-β-D-glucan were positively correlated with infectious severity. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive rate and negative predictive rate were 88.3%、100%、 100% and 58.8% respectively,which were significantly higher than those of the control group(P <0.01 ).Conclusion The quantitative method for the detection of 1,3-β-D-glucan in plasma was simple,sensitive and reliable, and could be used as the assisting diagnosis of penicilliposis marneffei at early stage.

ObjectiveTo explore the resilience and mental health of recruits during training,and to investigate mutual prediction of resilience between mental health and psychological stress to provide the scientific evidence for the mental health training and psychological selection of recruits.MethodsConnor-Davidson resilience questionnaire ( CD-RISC),symptom checklist ( SCL-90 ),psychological stress self-evaluation test ( PSET),satisfaction with life scale (SWLS),positive and negative affect scale (PANAS) were applied to 650 recruits in 2011 before starting training and after two months of training.Results ① Chinese recruits had good resilience,and the CD scores of pre-and post-test were (61.60 ± 14.36) and (61.41 ± 14.55 ) respectively.②Mental health (SCL-90) of two tests were good in recruits.③ Correlation analysis showed that the same premise of phase correlation,resilience (pre-test) could significantly predict mental health (post-test) ( β =0.070,P ＜ 0.05 ),mental health ( pretest) could not predict resilience (post-test) (β =0.015,P ＞ 0.05 ).Resilience (pre-test) could significantly predict psychological stress (post-test) ( β =0.075,P ＜ 0.05 ),psychological stress (pre-test) could not predict resilience (post-test) (β =0.017,P ＞ 0.05 ).④ Compared with high resilience group,low-resilience group of recruits had higher total score of SCL-90 and psychological stress and less positive emotion,more negative emotion and lower life satisfaction.ConclusionThe recruits training have good resilience.Resilience of recruits have predictive ability to mental health,psychological stress during training.

Objective To assess the clinical significance of three-dimensional speckle tracking imaging (3D-STI) in the evaluation of left ventricular myocardial function in breast cancer survivors with postoperative anthracycline-based chemotherapy.Methods A total of 51 breast cancer survivors with postoperative anthracycline-based chemotherapy were recruited and 31 female healthy volunteers as the controls.Conventional echocardiography and 3D-STI derived parameters [including global longitudinal strain (GLS) and global area strain (GAS)] were measured before and at 3 and 6 anthracycline-based chemotherapeutic cycles.The receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curve was constructed to determine optimal sensitivity and specificity of 3ID-STI derived parameters for the prediction of future cardiotoxicity.Results In comparison with the controls and baseline cases,GLS and GAS deteriorated significantly (P ＜ 0.05 for both).No statistical difference in GCS and conventional parameters showed before and after the initiation of chemotherapy (P ＜0.05,respectively).The ROC curves showed that GAS as the best 3D-STI predictor of patients who develop cardiotoxicity during the follow-up.The area under ROC(AUC) of GAS was 0.894,and its optimal cut-off value was-28.4％,with a specificity of 88.0％ and a sensitivity of 82.9％.AUC of GLS was 0.802,and its optimal cut-off value was-14.3％,with a specificity of 62.0％ and a sensitivity of 85.4％.Conclusions Early decreases in GAS and GLS based on 3D-STI may allow the prediction of subsequent cardiotoxic development accurately in breast cancer survivors with postoperative anthracycline-based chemotherapy.

Objective To analyze blood lipid components in simple obesity children and to explore the effects of obesity in the lipid metabolism and its clinical significance.Methods A total of 90 children,including 50 simple obesity children(obesity group)and 40 normal children(control group),were enrolled in this study.The age ranged from 2.5 to 16.0 years.Their blood lipid profiles of all the children were analyzed.The blood lipid profiles were examined by biochemical analysis,including triglyeride(TG),total cholesterol(TC),low density lipoprotein(LDL) and high density lipoprotein(HDL),and the livers of all the children were analyzed.The blood lipid profiles were examined by ultrasonograph.Results 1.There were no significant differences in age and height in obesity group and control group,but there were significant differences in body mass index(BMI) and blood pressure(P0.05),which had no statistical meaning.3.Liver ultra sonogram showed that 18 cases had fatty liver(36%) in simple obesity children.Conclusions Metabolic disorder of blood lipid is present in simple obesity children,who have a tendency to get fatty liver.LDL is markedly elevated in obesity group.Arteriosclerotic cardiovascular disease should be prevented at earlier period of childhood.
