AIM: To study the effects of different dose proportioning the danggui-shaoyao powder (DS) on learning and memory and the content of NO in brain in mice. METHODS: The ability of learning and memory was measured by the step-through task and the water maze task. The content of NO in brain was determined referring to the reagent manual. RESULTS: All different dose proportion of DS promoted the memory of normal mice. And only DS 1 (1 5.4) and DS 3 (1 1.34) obviously improved the scopolamine-induced mice passive avoidance handicap, prolonged the latency, and decreased number of errors. DS 3(1 1.34) obviously improved reserpine-induced mice spatial orientation handicap and prolonged the latency; others had no remarkable effect on spatial orientation handicap of mice. And all different dose proportions of DS could reduce the content of NO in the brain of passive avoidance disruption mice induced by scopolamine. CONCLUSION: DS 3 (1 1.34) improves passive avoidance handicap and spatial orientation handicap of mice, and reduced the content of NO in the brain of passive avoidance handicap mice induced by scopolamine. The effect of DS 3(1 1.34) is the best on benefiting memory.

Objective To develop an evaluation index system of health management services for the elderly with the perspective of combining medical service and long term care, and laying the foundation for the field assessment. Methods Using Delphy expert consultation method to improve Andersen health service utilization model. Excel was used for data input, SPSS 22.0 statistical software was used for analyzing the data from the expert consultation questionnaire to determine the importance and feasibility of the scores including mean, standard deviation and coefficient of variation. Constituent ratio analysis was done for expert positive coefficient, and the expert authority coefficient and coordination coefficient were analyzed by chi square test. The indicator's weight was calculated by using average method and multiplicative cumulative combination weighting. Results We constructed the framework for evaluating the effectiveness of health management service for the elderly in the community, the evaluation index system of the community health service was established. The system included 4 first level indicators, 12 second level indicators, 35 third level indicators, each index had a corresponding weight. Conclusions The evaluation index system is an effective way to assess health management service, selection of the indexes should be consistent with the connotation and characteristics of elderly health management under new aging care policy. Further empirical investigation is needed to modify the index system in order to provide decision-making basis for improving and regulating health management services for the elderly.

Background and purpose: High expression of telomerase and telomere stability are two common features in tumor cell. hTERT is a catalytic subunit of telomerase, TRF2 is extremely important to maintain the length and stability of telomerase. This study was to construct the recombinant adenovirus mediated shRNA to hTERT and TRF2, and to investigate the inhibitory effects of the vector by solo-inhibiting and connect-inhibiting in the MCF-7 cells, in order to present a new approach to the gene therapy for breast cancer. Methods: rAd-hTERT and rAd-TRF2 were constructed and the expression of hTERT mRNA and TRF2 mRNA were tested by FQ-PCR 48 hours after transfecting in MCF-7 cells. Apoptosis was observed by flow cytometry 1 to 6 days after transfection. Results: ①At 48 hours after transfection, the results of FQ-PCR showed that compared to PBS group, the expression of hTERT in rAd-hTERT group was obviously decreased and the inhibition ratio was about 86%, but TRF2 had not been obviously inhibited (P>0.05);the expression of TRF2 in rAd-TRF2 group was obviously decreased and the inhibition ratio was about 80%, but hTERT had not been obviously inhibited (P>0.05);in rAd-hTERT/rAd-TRF2 group, the inhibition ratio of hTERT and TRF2 were about 88% and 85%. Comparing rAd-hTERT/rAd-TRF2 group with rAd-hTERT group and rAd-TRF2 group, there were no significant differences of inhibition ratio between hTERT gene and TRF2 gene(P>0.05). Otherwise, comparing rAd-HK group, rAd-blank group with PBS group, there were no significant differences of inhibition ratio between hTERT gene and TRF2 gene(P>0.05). ②The result of flow cytometry showed that apoptosis was induced at the first day after transfecting in rAd-hTERT group and rAd-TRF2 group, the most obvious apoptosis was in the 3rd to 5th days,at the peak in the 5th day, and decreased in the 6th day after transfection. The apoptosis ratio of rAd-hTERT group was 46.2%, rAd-TRF2 group was 43.5%. The apoptosis ratio of rAd-hTERT/rAd-TRF2 group was 46.2% at first day, 68.5% at the second day, the most obvious apoptosis was in the 3rd to 6th days and was 77.6% in the 6th days in rAd-hTERT/rAd-TRF2 group. There were significant differences in apoptosis ratio in solo-inhibiting and connect-inhibiting(P<0.05). In addition, comparing rAd-HK group, rAd-blank group with PBS group, there were no significant differences in apoptosis ratio(P>0.05). Conclusion: ①Target sequence of RNAi which aimed at hTERT gene and TRF2 gene was designed efficiently, and the RNAi expression vectors were seen in vivo study efficiently and specifically inhibited the correspond gene expression and promoted cell apoptosis in MCF-7 cells. ②rAd-hTERT vector and rAd-TRF2 vector have no synergistical effect and antagoinstical effect on inhibiting hTERT gene and TRF2 gene mRNA expressing in MCF-7, but there was synergistical effect in terms of the induction of apoptosis. So association-RNAi-technique targeting to the genes of telomere length and stability can effectively promote tumor cell into apoptosis and inhibit breast cancer cell growth. RNAi technique of connecting correlation genes is a more effective gene therapy strategy.

Objective To explore the effect of early stage of comprehensive lung rehabilitation on cervical spinal cord injury in patients with mechanical ventilation.Methods The patients with cervical spinal cord injury admitted from January to December 2015 were selected as the control group which was treated with routine nursing measures.The patients with cervical spinal cord injury admitted from January to December 2016 were selected as the treatment group,which received early stage lung rehabilitation measures.We compared two groups of patients in the using time of breathing machine,the total length of hospital stay and pulmonary infection rate.Results The duration of mechanical ventilation and hospitalization days in the control group were(13.98±11.11),(25.10±16.98)d,which were higher than those in treatment group[(7.23±4.94),(16.26±6.41)d](P<0.05).The infection rates of control group and treatment group were 76.19％and 52.38％respectively,and the difference was significant(P<0.05).Conclusion In the early stages comprehensive pulmonary rehabilitation measures for mechanical ventilation in patients with cervical spinal injury can shorten the breathing machine use time and the total hospitalization days,and reduce pulmonary infection rate.

Objective To evaluate the effect of cell-penetrating peptide (protein transduction domain 4,PTD4) mediated copper-zinc superoxide dismutase (Cu/Zn SOD) on hypoxia/reoxygenation injury (HRI) in rat myocardial cells.Methods Rat myocardial cell H9C2 HRI model was prepared by using the anaerobic incubator (85% N2,10% H2,5% CO2).The HRI group (without adding any treating factor in HRI cell culture fluid),HRI+Cu/Zn SOD group (adding 10 μmol/L Cu/Zn SOD) and HRI+PTD4-Cu/Zn SOD group (10 μmol/L PTD4-Cu/Zn SOD) were set up.In addition,normally cultured myocardial cells served as the normal control group.After incubating for 30 min,the ultra microstructure of mitochondria was observed under transmission electron microscope.The mitochondrial membrane potential was detected by JC-1 kit.The myocardial cell apoptosis was detected by TdT mediated dUTP nick end labeling TUNEL technique.Results The mitochondria injury degree after 30 min incubation in the PTD4-Cu/Zn SOD group was significantly improved compared with the HRI group.Compared with the normal control group,the mitochondrial membrane potential in the HRI group was significantly decreased,while the mitochondrial membrane potential in the PTD4-Cu/Zn SOD group was lower than that in the normal control group,but compared with the HRI group,which was obviously recovered.The cardiomyocyte apoptosis in the HRI+PTD4-Cu/Zn SOD group was (10.20±2.77)%,which was significantly decreased compared with (28.40±2.41)% in the HRI group,the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion PTD4 mediated Cu/Zn SOD can attenuate HRI in rat myocardial cells.

Objective To detect gene expressions of Uroplakin (UP) family in interstitial cystitis (IC). Methods Gene expression of UP Ia, Ib, II, III, and III-δ4 was quantitatively measured in bladder biopsy samples from patients with IC (n=29) and control subjects (n=16) using real-time RT-PCR. Results UP III-delat4, a splicing variant of UP III, was significantly up-regulated to 4.80 in IC samples (P<0.001). When IC patients were divided into two groups, one with and one without ulcerative changes, the UP Ia, UP Ib, UP II, UP III and III-δ4 genes were significantly up-regulated to 4.99, 3.31, 2.75, 15.38, 11.48 in nonulcerative IC patients, but decreased to 0.04, 0.29, 0.09, 0.11, 0.34 in ulcerative IC patients (P<0.01). The up-regulation of UP III-δ4 was more prominent than that of UP III: 26.5-fold versus 5.6-fold compared to the median values of normal subjects. Conclusion Although the clinical implications of the over-expression of UP III and III-δ4 in non-ulcerative IC bladders remain to be clarified, from the diagnostic viewpoint, UP III-δ4 is a potential marker for identifying nonulcerative IC.

Objective To explore the effects of 7.5% hypertonic saline (HS) and pentoxifylline (PTX) on the pulmonary inflammation in rats with hemorrhagic shock. Method Controlled hemorrhagic shock in rats was induced to 40 mmHg MAP by blood withdrawal and maintained for 60 min. Animals were randomly (random number) divided into 3 groups. In sham shock group ( n = 8), rats underwent cannulation without exsanquination or resuscitation and served as negative controls. In RL-resuscitated animals group ( n = 8), rats received 32 mL/kg RL (Ringers'lactate solution). In HSPTX group, rats received 4 mL/kg of 7.5% NaCl + 25 mg/kg of PTX.PaO2,pH,PaCO2, lung wet/dry weight ratio (W/D) and lung penetrating index were determined, and the percentages of neutrophil in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) were detected. The levels of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase(SOD)were measured. The tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α) and interleukin 1β(IL-1β) in BALF supernatant were determined by using ELISA method. Results Compared with RL group, PaO2 and pH of arterial blood more increased and PaCO2 of arterial blood more decreased in HSPTX group ( P ＜ 0. 01).The wet/dry lung weight ratio and the percertages of neutrophil in BALF were reduced in HSPTX group. The level of tumor necrosis factor-αand interleukin 1β in HSPTX group were both more significantly decreased than those in RL group ( P ＜0.01). Conclusions Compared with RL group, the more attenuation of pulmonary inflammation in HSPTX group after shock is associated with less neutrophil activation and decrease in production of the irlammatory cytokines.

Objective To explore the application of diffusion tensor imaging in the assessment of ischemic muscle in hind-limb ischemia model of rabbit. Methods Excision of femoral artery in unilateral hind limb was done in 14 New Zealand white rabbits and ischemic model were established in 12 rabbits. Three (12 rabbits),10(10 rabbits) ,28(7 rabbits),56(5 rabbits) days after the model establishment, DTI scan was performed on bilateral hind limbs in each of the models, respectively and, λ_1,λ_2,λ_3, ADC and FA values were measured. Histological analysis was also performed at these time points. Pared t test was used to compare the differences of these indexes in bilateral hind limbs. Results Following femoral artery excision, a rapid ascending of ADC,λ_2,λ_3 values with sharply reduced FA value was observed in ligated hind-limb, which reached maximal on 3 days post-excision (ADC_(ligated)= 1.72±0.16, ADC_(unligated)= 1.53±0.16, t = 6.48, P < 0.01 ; λ_(2 ligated)= 1.70±0.15, λ_(2 unligated)= 1.51±0.06, t=10.87, P < 0.01 ; λ_(3 ligated_ =1.17±0.12, λ_(3 unligated)= 0.88±0.12, t=6.67, P < 0.01 ; FA_(ligated)= 0.24±0.04, FA_(unligated) =0.39±0.03, t = -10.61 ,P <0.01) and histologic analysis revealed the severest muscle damag at that time. Ischemic muscle recovered very slowly during the first 10 day post-excision accompanied with reduction of ADC , λ_2, λ_3 values, however there was also difference of ADC,λ_2, λ_3 values between ligated and nonligated limbs except λ_1 ( ADC_(ligated) = 1.65±0. 16, ADC_(unligated)= 1.50±0.12, t =6.42, P <0.01 ; λ_(2 ligated) = 1.62±0.32, λ_(2 unligated) =1.48±0.31, t=5.09, P < 0.01) ; λ_(3 ligated)= 1.11±0.13, λ_(3 unligated)= 0.85±0.09, t=6.26, P <0. 01;λ_(1 ligated)=2.20±0.21, λ_(1 unligated) =2.18+0.20, t=0.87, P=0.40). After 28 days, ADC and λ_3 returned to normal (ADC_(ligated)= 1.51±0. 16, ADC_(unligated)= 1.55±0.14, t=-1.35, P=0.23 ; λ_(3 ligated) =0.95±0. 10, λ_(3 unligated)= 0.92±0.06, t=1.70, P=0.14), but λ_2 and FA of ligated limb were still different from those of nonligated limb (λ_(2 ligated)= 1.45±0.23, λ_(2 unligated)= 1.52±0. 95, t=-3.56, P=0.012; FA_(ligated)=0.35±0.02, FA_(unligated)=0.40±0.03, t=-3.83, P<0.01). After 56 days, all parameters retuned to normal(ADC_(ligated) =1.57±0.18, ADC_(unligated)=1.58±0.23, t=-0.71, P=0.52; λ_(1 ligated) =2.18±0.18, λ_(1 unligated)=2.24±0.14, t=-0.22, P=0.10; λ_(2 ligated)=1.64±0.13, λ_(2 unligated)=1.59±0.15, t=0.89, P=0.42; λ_(3 ligated)=0.89±0.1,λ_(3 unligated)=0.91±0.07, t=- 1.64,P= 0.18; FA_(ligated)= 0.39±0. 03, FA_(unligated)= 0.41±0.02, t=-0.83, P=0.47). Conclusion DTI is a quantitative and relatively accurate technique to assess time-dependent changes of ischemic muscle in hindlimb ischemia model of rabbit.
