Despite a recent American Heart Association (AHA) consensus statement emphasizing the importance of resistant hypertension (RH), its control is still a challenge for conventional medicine. The Chinese herbal formula, Qutan Huayu Fang, has been used effectively to assist antihypertensive agents in blood pressure control, but its effect for RH patients is still unclear. This pilot study aims to explore the effects of taking the formula in addition to antihypertensive medication in the management of RH.

Objective To explore the changes of elasticity in the large arteries and its clinical significance of sublingual administration of nitroglycerin in patients with elevated PWV,and mild and moderate essential hypertension.Methods Totally,779 patients with mild and moderate hypertension and PWV more than 1400 cm/s were selected and divided into four groups,one with simple hypertension,the second one with only one risk factor for it,the third one with two risk factors,and the fourth one with three risk factors or damage in their target organs.Sublingual administration of 0.5 mg nitroglycerin was administered and blood pressure and PWV were measured for all of them.and data were statistically compared and analyzed by groups and before and after nitroglycerin administration.Results Systolic blood pressure decreased to(135±20)mm Hg from(149±15)mm Hg,pulse pressure decreased to(50±11)mm Hg from(59±12)mm Hg,PwV decreased to(1329±288)cm/s from(1688±378)cm/s,respectively,after nitroglycerin treatment for hypertensive patients(t=3.036,2.473,3.885,all P＜0.05).Improvement of elasticity of the large arteries in them after nitroglycerin treatment inversely correlated with the number of risk factors for hypertension they had,with 89.1 percent,74.3 percent,72.6percent and 44.0 percent of improvement in PWV,respectively for those with simple hypertension,only one risk factor.two risk factors and three risk factors or with damage in target organs.Conclusions Systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure significantly correlated with elasticity of the large arteries in hypertensive patients,and their stifiness improved after sublingual administration of nitroglycerin due to decrease in systolic blood pressure and pulse pressure.The more risk factors the hypertensive patients had,the poorer elasticity of their large arteries and less sensitive to nitroglycerin treatment were.

Envelope proteins of herpes simplex virus (HSV) plays a vital role not only in the infection process of adsorption and invasion but also in the stimulation to the organism that gives rise to immune response. Among the envelope proteins, glycoprotein D (gD), which can induce specific immune response, are the primary targets of humoral and cellular immunity of the host. In order to analyze the antigenicity and immunogenicity of HSV-gD1, we chemically synthesized the extracellular domain fragment gene of gD1, cloned it into eucaryotic expression vector pCEP4, and transfected the HEK293 cells with the recombinant vector. Then we identified the recombinant protein by Western blotting, and detected antigenicity of the protein by ELISA. Finally, we used the purified gD1 protein to immunize Kunming mice in 1, 3, 5 weeks, and collected antiserum in 3, 5 and 7 weeks. We titrated the sera for the detection of anti gD1 using an ELISA assay. Gene sequencing analysis demonstrated that the recombinant plasmid pCEP4-gD1 was constructed successfully. Western blotting analysis indicated one major protein band, which molecular weights is approximate 46 kDa corresponding to the truncated forms of gD1 protein, was observed. ELISA assay showed that the expressed recombinant protein gD1 had good antigenicity. After the third immunization, antibody titer of the mouse anti-gD1 was at least 5 x10(3). The successful expression of the recombinant protein gD1, which can induce humoral immune response, lays a foundation for serological diagnosis and vaccine study of HSV.

Objective: To analyze the plague monitoring results in Ulanqab City of Inner Mongolia in 2018, to master the changes in rat density and the prevalence of plague in rats, and provide a basis for scientific prevention and control of plague. Methods: According to "The Plague Monitoring Scheme of Inner Mongolia", we surveyed Siziwang Banner, Chahar Right Back Banner, Huade County, and Shangdu County of Ulanqab City from April to November 2018 to monitor the plague. Rat density was surveyed using a one-day bow clamp method; small rodent was surveyed using a 5 m clamping method. Rodents were obtained by sample method, 5 m clamping method, daily method, collecting dead animals and the like, and fleas were picked up from the captured rats and rat nest. The rodents and fleas were carried out pathogen detection, the serum of rodents was tested by indirect hemagglutination test. Laboratory test results were analyzed based on the "Diagnostic Criteria for Plague" (WS 279-2008). Results: Totally 1 463 mice were captured overlapping a monitored area of 416 hm², the average rat density was 3.52 per hectare; the number of Meriones unguiculatus was 1 235, and the rat density was 2.97 per hectare. Totally 1 603 mice were grooming, 404 mice with fleas, the flea infected rate was 25.20%, the number of fleas were 1 348, and the flea index was 0.84. A total of 22 mouse nests were dug, 17 nests with fleas, the flea infected rate was 77.27%, the number of fleas were 131, and the flea index was 5.95. Totally 1 603 rodents were checked by etiology, the results showed that 7 plague rats were all Meriones unguiculatus. Totally 1 479 fleas of 581 groups were cultured, 14 fleas of 5 groups were detected, 3 fleas of 1 group in Siziwang Banner, and 11 fleas of 4 groups in Huade County. Totally 243 samples of murine animal serum were tested and the results were all negative. Conclusions The epidemic of plague in Ulanqab City is in an active state, so monitoring should be strengthened in this area to prevent the prevalence of human plague.

Objective To compare different regimens of intraperitoneal injection of cyclophosphamide (CTX) to establish a rabbit model of premature ovarian failure (POF), and provide a useful experimental tool for further research of premature ovarian failure. Methods A total of twenty-one 5-6 months old rabbits were randomly divided into 4 groups. The group A (normal control group) included 3 rabbits without any treatment. The group B (the first model group) included 6 rabbits, received a single intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg cyclophosphamide. Six rabbits in the group C (the second model group) were injected with 50 mg/kg cyclophosphamide once daily for 2 days. The group D (the third model group, also n=6) was injected with 50 mg/kg cyclophosphamide on the first day and then followed by 8 mg/ (kg·d) injection q.d. in the 14 consecutive days. Body weight and ovary weight of the rabbits in each group were measured, and the changes of body weight and the ovary index were analyzed. Morphological changes of the ovarian follicles were observed by HE staining and the numbers of normal and abnormal follicles at different developmental stages were counted and analyzed. Cell apoptosis was analyzed by TUNEL staining and changes in the serum levels of estradiol (E2) were detected by ELISA. Results The body weight of rabbits in both groups B and group C was not significantly changed during the experimental period (P＞ 0. 05). Rabbits in the group D showed a slight growth (P ＜ 0. 05) and high mortality. The ovary index in group C was significantly lower than that in the group A (P ＜ 0. 05). The ratios of abnormal primordial and primary follicles in groups B and C were significantly increased (P ＜ 0. 017), and the ratio of abnormal primordial follicles in the group C was increased more significantly (P ＜ 0. 017). However, there was no significant difference in the ratios of abnormal primary follicles between groups B and C (P＞ 0. 017). Among the groups A, B and C, there was no significant difference in the ratios of abnormal secondary and antral follicles (P＞ 0. 05). Apoptosis mainly occurred in granulosa cells of the ovarian follicles. The apoptosis rate of groups B and C was significantly higher than that in the group A (P ＜ 0. 05), and the apoptosis rate of group C was higher than that in the group B (P ＜ 0. 05). In the group B, the serum E2 level reached the peak value on the 7th day, significantly higher than that on the 35th day (P ＜ 0. 05), and then the level was decreased gradually. In the group C, the E2 level was continuously decreased and the level on the last day before drug injection was significantly higher than that at the 35th day (P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusions Intraperitoneal injection of 50 mg/kg cyclophosphamide once daily for 2 days is a most suitable method for the establishment of rabbit model of premature ovarian failure (POF).

Objective To assess the effectiveness and safety of paclitaxel-coated balloons for in-stent restenosis in patients aged 65 years and over.Methods Sixty elderly patients(≥65 years old)with in-stent restenosis were enrolled at the Department of Cardiology,the First Affiliated Hospital of Inner Mongolian Medical University.Based on different treatment methods for in-stent restenosis,patients were divided into the drug-eluting balloon(DEB,n=32)group and the drug-eluting stent(DES,n=28)group.The primary end point was late luminal loss,determined by angiography.Secondary end points included rates of restenosis and major adverse cardiac events (MACEs).Results Quantitative coronary angiography revealed no significant differences in baseline data At 3 months after treatment,the rate of MACEs was 28.6％ in the DES group and 12.5％ in the DEB group(P＜0.05).At 6 months after treatment,angiography showed that the (x)±s of insegment late luminal loss was(0.21±0.04)mm in the DES group versus(0.12±0.06)mm in the DEB group(P ＜0.05).Furthermore,7 of 28 patients (25 ％) in the DES group had restenosis,compared with 4 of 32 patients (12.5 ％)in the DEB group(P =0.03).Conclusions Paclitaxel-coated balloons for coronary in-stent restenosis in patients aged 65 years or over can significantly reduce the incidence of restenosis and lower the rate of MACEs.The procedure is safe with no serious complications,eliminates the need for additional stent implantation,and should be further assessed in future clinical trials.

Objective To establish genotyping methods for rapid identification of Brucella melitensis (B.melitensis) biovar 1,2 and 3 and to verify these method.Methods Single nucleotide polymorphism of RpoB gene and tandem repeat sequence (TRS) Bru42 of standard reference strain 16M were used to design primers,then the RpoB-PCR and TRS-PCR method were established for identification of B.melitensis standard reference strains,these two methods were used to identify clinical isolates of B.melitensis and compared with the conventional methods.Results The results of B.melitensis standard reference strains (biotype 1,2,3) identified by RpoB-PCR and TRS-PCR were consistent with those of the conventional identification methods.Totally 50 clinical isolates [including B.melitensis biovar 1 (17),2 (3) and 3 (30)] were identified as RpoB-2 genotype,only one B.melitensis biovar 1 strain was identified as RpoB-3 genotype.Genotype identification results of standard reference strains and clinical isolates with the same biotype were not exactly the same.Fothermore,TRS-PCR experiment displayed that 51 clinical isolates were all genotype 2 of B.melitensis (genotype TRS-2).Conclusions There is no clear relationship between biovars and genotypes within B.melitensis,and significant difference exists between B.melitensis standard reference strains and clinical isolates within RpoB gene.Bru42 can not be used for genotyping clinical isolates of B.melitensis.
