Objective To explore the effects of subchronic arsenic exposure through drinking water on glutamate-glutamine cycle in the brain of mice. Methods The female Kunming mice were exposed to arsenite ( iAsⅢ ) by drinking water at the levels of 25, 50 and 100 mg/L respectively for 6 consecutive weeks. The blood and brain were taken, the concentration of inorganic arsenic (iAs), monomethylarsenic acid (MMA), dimethylarsenic acid (DMA) and the activity of glutamine synthetase (GS), phosphate activated glutaminase (PAG), superoxide dimutase (SOD) and the concentrations of glutamate (Glu), lipidperoxide(LPO) were determined. Results The concentrations of iAs, MMA and DMA in the blood and brains increased as the iAsⅢ concentrations in drinking water increased. The activity of GS, PAG and the concentrations of Glu in the arsenic exposed mice increased compared with the control. The activity of GS in 50 mg/L group, the activity of PAG in 25 and 50 mg/L groups, the concentration of Glu in 100 mg/L group showed a significant difference compared with the control. The activity of PAG in 25 mg/L group was significantly higher than that in 100 mg/L group. The activity of SOD in exposed groups was higher than that in the control, the concentration of LPO in exposed groups did not show a significant difference compared with the control. Conclusion Arsenic can enter the brain and organic arsenic is dominant both in the blood and brain, however, the composition of arsenic speciation is different in the blood and brain. DMA, as a main arsenide, distributed in the brain. Arsenic exposure can change the activity of GS and PAG which can influence the concentration of Glu. Moreover, arsenic exposure can increase the superoxide anion and make the activity of SOD increase compensatively.

Objective To explore the effect of evidence-based medicine combined withcase based learning(CBL) in pediatric residency training.Methods Totally 52 residents were equally divided into two groups:experiment group and control group.Method of CBL combined with the evidencebased medicine (Taking two residents as one group,firstly teacher posed the questions and then residents searched for references when off duty and made evidence-based case presentation at fixed time when doing teaching ward around,after wards all personnel in the department made case discussion,finally teacher made the summary) was used in experimental group while traditional teaching method (teacher guided the residents to analyze the case by clinical experiences,residents took notes and sometimes asked questions,teacher directly gave the answers)was used in control group.The teaching effect is evaluated by questionnaire,theory test and clinical skills assessment.Statistical analysis was carried out on appraisal results with SPSS 16.0 software,test results and appraisal results were expressed as ((x-) ±s) and t test was performed,P ＜ 0.05 was taken as statistically significant.Results Residents in experimental group had more advantages in self-study ability,literature retrieval ability,physician teamwork spirit,clinical thinking,PowerPoint making and language expression after receiving CBL combined with evidence-based medicine.Theory examination showed that average score of experimental group was better than that of control group (75.46 ± 6.646) vs.(71.38 ±4.758),with statistically significantly differences (P =0.014),especially in subjective items.Clinical skills assessment showed that experimental group was better than control group in writing medical records and doing clinical thinking.Conclusions Teaching method of evidence-based medicine combined with CBL is significantly better than traditional indoctrination teaching in improving the abilities of self-study,cultivating clinical thinking,literature retrieval,language performance and other skills.This teaching method is more suitable for pediatric residency training.

Objective To explore change of diaphragm electromyograms in patients with obstructive sleep apnea-hypoventilation syndrome (OSAHS) before and after nocturnal sleep, as well as effective nasal continuous positive airway pressure (n-CPAP) ventilation treatment for more than two months. Methods Diaphragm electromyogram was recorded with chest surface electrodes in 22 patients with moderate and severe OSAHS and 24 normal people, and phrenic nerve conduction time (PNCT) and diaphragm compound muscle action potential (CMAP) provoked by unilateral magnetic stimulation (UMS) were measured for them before and after sleep. Measurements were repeated for five patients with severe OSAHS after effective OSAHS patients before and after nocturnal sleep than that in normal people bilaterally, (8.4±0. 6)ms and (8.4±0. 9)ms vs (7. 3±0. 8)ms and (7. 3±0. 8) ms for the left side; and (8.4±1.3) ms and (8. 9 ± 0. 8) ms vs (7.2 ± 0. 8) ms and (7.2 ± 0. 8 ) ms for the right side ( P < 0. 01 ), respectively ; and amplitude of CMAP was significantly lower in OSAHS patients, (0. 60±0. 20)mV and (0. 64±0. 29)mV vs (0. 98 ± 0. 28)mV and (0. 97±0. 27)mV for the left side; and (0. 53±0. 23)mV and (0. 56±0. 26)mV vs (0. 93 ±0. 29) mV and ( 0. 94 ± 0. 29 ) mV for the right side, respectively ( P < 0. 01 ) ; but no significant significantly shortened bilaterally in five patients with severe OSAHS after effective n-CPAP ventilation treatment for more than two months, (8.6±0. 7)ms vs (7.4±0. 5)ms for the lfet side and (7. 8±0. 6)ms vs (6.4 ± 0. 6) ms for the fight side ( P < 0. 05 ), respectively. Conclusions Both phrenic nerve conduction and diaphragm muscle function are weakened in patients with OSAHA, which may be related to hypoxia and/ or disturbance of sleep structure at night.

Objective:To explore the relationship between TK gene expression regulated by enhanced suicide gene vector and telomerase activity in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cells.Method:The reformed reconstructed enhanced vector, pGL3-basic-EGFP-TK-hTRETp-CMV enhancer, and hTERT mono-promoter vector, pGL3-basic-EGFP-TK-hTRETp(as controls), were transfected into telomerase(+) nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cell lines,telomerase(+) human breast cancer MCF-7 cell lines and telomerase(-) normal vascular endothelium cell lines respectively. TK gene green fluorescent protein was observed by fluorescence microscope. The expression of TK gene mRNA was measured by the real-time fluorescent quantified PCR and the telomerase activity was determined by the method of TRAP argentation in maligment tumour cells pre- and post-transfected by enhanced vector . Meanwhile the relationship beteewn TK and telomerase was analyzed.Result:①A strong TK gene fluorescent show and TK mRNA expression were displayed after the enhanced suicide gene vector was transfected into nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cell lines and human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line, which were more stronger than those of mono-promoter group,pGL3-basic-EGFP-TK-hTRETp,and ECV cells transfected by enhanced suicide gene vector. Meanwhile,real-time fluorescent quantified PCR showed that the A value of enhanced vector group was higher than that of controls. ②Telomerase activity after transfection of enhanced vector and GCV was lower than those before by the method of TRAP argentation in nasopharyngeal carcinoma cell lines,but no change in normal control cells after transfection of enhanced vector and GCV.③ After adding GCV, the obvious inhibitory effect of tumour cells growth induced by pGL3-basic-EGFP-TK-hTRETp-CMV enhancer were observed in nasopharyngeal carcinoma 5-8F cell lines and human breast cancer MCF-7 cell line, which was higher than those of mono-promoter, pGL3-basic-EGFP-TK-hTRETp,pGL3-basic-EGFP3 and blank controls, but without inhibitory effect in ECV cells transfected by enhanced vector. Conclusion:TK gene expression is regulated by hTERT promoter and CMV enhancer, and then the telomerase activity is reduced and the cancer cells are specifically killed.But it is unclear how the telomerase are down-regulated by TK gene.
