Objective To study the effects of ginsenoside on expression of inducible nitric oxide synthase and concentration of NO in THP-1 induced by amyloid beta(Aβ) in Alzheimer's disease. Methods The concentra- tion of nitric oxide was determined by Griess Reagent in supernatant of THP-1. The content of iNOS was measured by western blotting. Results The expression of iNOS of model group was significantly higher than those of control group. Compared with model group, the ginseng could reduce expression of iNOS and concentration of NO significant- ly in THP-1. Conclusion Ginsenoside can significantly inhibit the expression of iNOS, and reduce secretions of NO, so it may provide a novel therapy for AD.

In recent years,more and more of the enzyme proteins have been carried out using recombinant microorganism bioreactor for large scale production.For reasons of improved the catalytic capability and environmental suitability,or enhanced expression level of the protein,a variety of genetic engineering technology according to protein molecule modification have been applied extensively.Major strategies and achievements of molecular modification for microbial enzyme,such as site-directed mutagenesis,error-prone PCR,DNA shuffling and optimum codon design were reviewed.

Objective To discuss the efficacy and relative factors that affect the sequential therapy of invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation in treating severe respiratory failure.Methods We analyzed the clinical data of the patient who was hospitalized in Respiratory Department of the Sixth Hospital of Luohe on 3th February 2008.Results The patient received invasive mechanical ventilation for 4 days,then changed to mask non-invasive positive pressure ventilation for 10 days,while receiving comprehensive treatment of anti-infection and bronchial expansion,etc.Then the patient was recovered.Conclusion The sequential therapy of invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation in treating severe respiratory failure is effective.The efficacy depends on the optimum converting time between invasive and non-invasive mechanical ventilation,the choice of ventilator and the patient′s compliance.

Objective:To compare the fracture resistance of roots of mandibular premolar with different apical preparation diameters.Methods:Sixty single-rooted single canal permanent mandibular premolar teeth extracted newly for orthodontic reason without immatureness,fracture or cracks were selected,with a curvature less than 10°,and internal length:short diameter of less than 2 at a level 5 mm from the apex.All the teeth were decoronated,leaving roots 13 mm in length.The initial apical file size for the teeth was ≤ 15#.The roots were assigned to 6 groups based on weights with random block design.Group A:blank control group,no instrumentation was performed.Groups B-F:the master apical file (MAF) was 40#,45#,50#,55# and 60#,respectively.In the five experimental groups the roots were instrumented using hand files with step-back technique at 1 mm increments,resulting in a taper of 0.05.The irrigant used was distilled water.After mounted in acrylic resin,all the teeth were subject to vertical loading using an Instron testing machine until fractured.The occurrence of fractures was detected when the applied load suddenly decreased.The fracture load values and fracture modes were recorded.Oneway ANOVA and post-hoc Tukey test were used to determine the difference of fracture load values between the groups (P ＜ 0.05).Chi-square tests were used to compare the modes of root fracture.Results:Five experimental groups exhibited lower fracture load values than that of control group [(1 444 ± 155) N].The mean fracture load values for roots instrumented to an apical diameter of 50# [(1 027 ± 128) N],55# [(994 ± 150) N] and 60# [(983 ± 166) N] were significantly lower than that of control group and 40# group [(1 339 ± 131) N] and 45# [(1 287 ± 144) N] (P ＜0.05).Buccal-lingual fracture,mesio-distal fracture and compound fracture occurred 55％,13％ and 32％,respectively.No difference of fracture mode was detected in the six groups.Conclusion:The fracture resistance reduced significantly when the roots were instrumented to an apical diameter of 50# or larger.

Objective:To evaluate the equity of the secondary performance allocation in target hospital.Methods:Through the comparison on the Gini coefficient calculation,the calculation method of Gini coefficient developed by Jianhua Zhang was applied to estimate the secondary allocation result of performance salary in the target hospital from 2014 to 2015.Results:From 2014 to 2015,the Gini coefficient remained at 0.22 or so,the overall allocation was average.Conclusion:Estimating the Gini coefficient was beneficial for the hospital managers control the structure and level of the second performance distribution and modulate the program of the sencond performance distribution in time,so that the distribution of performance salary would be accordant to the designed program and acts as the direction of motivation.

Objective:To measure the real temperatures on the pluggers of three continuous-wave de-vices, and to provide theoretical reference to evaluate thermal damage and heat ’s influence on the filling materials.Methods:The dual channel K type thermocouple was contacted to various sizes ’ pluggers in three different continuous-wave devices (BeeFill, Elements, B&L), and the highest temperatures at dif-ferent points ( tip, and 2 mm, 5 mm, 10 mm from the tip) of the pluggers ( preset temperature was 200℃) were recorded.The measurements were performed 5 times.T-test was used to compare the real tem-peratures at the tips with that set on the display and one-way ANOVA was used to compare the tempera-tures of the pluggers in different devices , sizes and points .Results:The highest temperature was at the tip of BeeFill 40/0.03 plugger (198.7 ±7.7) ℃, but there was on statistical differences between that and the preset temperature 200℃.The temperatures of the remaining pluggers were obviously lower than 200 ℃(P<0.05).The lowest temperature of the pluggers was detected at 10 mm from the tip of BeeFill 60/0.06 plugger (69.9 ±4.0) ℃.The highest temperature of each plugger was detected at the tip or 2 mm from the tip (112.1 to 198.7℃,and the median was 140.8℃).Conclusion:The real temperature of most continuous-wave pluggers included in this study is below the set temperature 200 ℃.

This study aimed to optimize the ultrasonic extraction of gardenia oils from Gardenia jasminoides Ellis.by response surface analysis methodology (RSM).The duration of extraction,ratio of liquid to materials and extracting times were selected as impact factors based on single-factor experiment.RSM was adopted to learn the effects of the three factors on the extraction rate of Gardenia oil from Gardeniajasminoides Ellis.As a result,it was found that the duration of extraction was 28.7 min,while the ratio of liquid to materials was 11.62:1,and the number of extracting times were 3.36.Under this extracting condition,the average extraction rate of the oil was 13.5％ according to three validation experiments,fitting the predicted value well.In conclusion,it was demonstrated that the ultrasonic extraction method effectively improved the extraction rate of gardenia oil,providing a certain basis for the development and utilization of gardenia oil.
