Objective:To study the feasibility of transplantation of normal rat penile corpus cavernosum and major pelvic ganglion (MPG)into the renal subserous region of a Nu /Nu mouse based on allograft technology.Methods:Penile corpus cavernosum and MPG,harvested from Sprague-Dawley (SD)rats under sterile condition,were transplanted underneath the kidney capsule of Nu /Nu mice through the mi-crosurgery instruments and surgery microscope.The histopathologic changes and cellular proliferation in the transplanted penile corpus cavernosum and MPG were then analyzed at the end of 1week and 4 weeks after transplantation.Histological staining and immunohistochemical staining were used to evaluate the main outcome measures.Results:After 1 week,the tissue morphology of the transplanted corpus caverno-sum underneath the kidney capsule of Nu /Nu mice was consistent with normal penile corpus cavernosum, and blood could be observed in the penis cavernous sinus of the graft;after 4 weeks,the mophorlogy of the tranplanted corpus cavernosum near the kidney was consistent with normal penile corpus cavernosum, while fibrosis was noteworthy in the graft away from the kidney,but blood could still be seen in the penis cavernous sinus.After 1 week,the tissue morphology of the transplanted MPG was consistent with normal MPG,multiple islet-like cell clusters could be seen in the transplanted MPG in the renal subserous re-gion,and angiogenesis could be observed near the kidney;after 4 weeks,a network of blood vessels was clearly visible away from the kidney,and islet-like cell clusters were still clearly observed in the trans-planted MPG.In addition,ki67 positive cells were observed in the transplanted penile corpus cavernosum and MPG after 4 weeks of transplantation,which indicated that there was still cell proliferation activity in the grafts.Conclusion:The transplanted corpus cavernosum and MPG underneath the kidney capsule of Nu /Nu mice could survive at least 4 weeks.Moreover,the inner structure of the transplanted corpus ca-vernosum and MPG was close to the normal tissue.The underlining mechanism may be related to the lo-cal microenvironment underneath the kidney capsule of Nu /Nu mice and the neovascularization in the transplanted grafts.

Aim To observe the adhesive process of the human gastric cancer cell line MKN1,and study the expression of integrin ?1;to investigate the mechanism of the inhibition of the adhesion process of MKN1 cells by destran sulfate(DS).Methods The MKN1 cells were cultured with DS or PBS,then stained with immunofluorescent cytochemistry and observed in fixed or living conditions with confocal laser scanning microscope.RT-PCR was used to analyze the cDNA expression of MKN1 cells.Results MKN1 cells adhered to culture dishes by the process of forming filopodia,changed into a flat shape,and then adhered to other cells to form a cell-monolayer.Integrin ?1 was intensively expressed in the cell membrane,where integrin ?1 formed clusters.DS inhibted the expression of integrin ?1 in cell membrane,and decreased the area of integrin ?1 clusters.DS-treated cells also tended to maintain a round shape by contracting the filopodia.In DS-containing culture dishes,some cells kept floating 4 hours after seeding.DS decreased the level of the cDNA expression of the adhered cells to 74% and of the floating cells to 38% of that of the cells in un-treated group,respectively.Conclusion The inhibition of the adhesion of MKN1 cells by DS was related to the suppression of the expression of integrin ?1.

Objective To learn the current status of family doctor service at pilot communities in Guangzhou, and discover existing problems and influencing factors by investigating the residents who have contracted such service , those have not and the family doctors . Methods This study chose typical community health centers of six communities in Guangzhou in January 2016 .In random sampling , residents who visited doctors during the survey and all the family doctors were surveyed .EpiData was used to doubly inputdata,withSPSS20.0forstatisticalanalysis.Results 66.0%ofthoseresidentswhohavenot contracted the service are willing to contract a family doctor .According to the binary logistic regression analysis after eliminating the interference factors , there are two factors affecting their willingness:gender and whether needing a family doctor for themselves and their family for health management .According to the binary logistic regression analysis after eliminating the interference factors , the influencing factors of renewing contract are overall satisfaction and necessity for signing family doctors .Conclusions The smooth development of the family doctor service is faced with many bottlenecks , while improving willingness to contract and renew contract to family doctors are the cornerstone for sustainability of the family doctor system.

Objective:
This study’s objective is to assess the efficacy and safety of Pulsed Magnetic Therapy System (PMTS) in improving insomnia disorder.
Methods:
Participants with insomnia disorder were randomly assigned to receive either PMTS or sham treatment for four weeks (n= 153; PMTS: 76, sham: 77). Primary outcomes are the Insomnia Severity Index (ISI) scores at week 0 (baseline), 1, 2, 3, 4 (treatment), and 5 (follow-up). Secondary outcomes are the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index at baseline and week 4, and weekly sleep diary-derived values for sleep latency, sleep efficiency, real sleep time, waking after sleep onset, and sleep duration.
Results:
The ISI scores of the PMTS group and the sham group were 7.13±0.50, 11.07±0.51 at week 4, respectively. There was a significant group×time interaction for ISI (F3.214, 485.271=24.25, p<0.001, ηp 2=0.138). Only the PMTS group experienced continuous improvement throughout the study; in contrast, the sham group only experienced a modest improvement after the first week of therapy. At the end of the treatment and one week after it, the response of the PMTS group were 69.7% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 58.6%–79.0%), 75.0% (95% CI: 64.1%–83.4%), respectively, which were higher than the response of the sham group (p<0.001). For each of the secondary outcomes, similar group×time interactions were discovered. The effects of the treatment persisted for at least a week.
Conclusion
PMTS is safe and effective in improving insomnia disorders.
