Objective: To investigate the protective effect of deferoxamine preconditioning against hypoxia injury in astrocytes and the underlying mechanisms. Methods: Astrocytes were cultured under ischemia stress, which was mimicked by oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) with deferoxamine. Astrocytes were divided into three groups: normally cultured group; Deferoxamine pretreated group: astrocytes were pretreated with Deferoxamine and then treated with Deferoxamine OGD; and OGD group; astrocytes were treated with Deferoxamine OGD. The cell viability examination, the ratio of condensed nuclei, and the morphological changes were used to assess the protective effect of deferoxamine. The expression of HIF-1a and EPO protein and mRNA in astrocytes was examined by immunofluorescence staining and RT-PCR, respectively. Results: The morphology of AS in the deferoxamine pretreated group kept intact. AS viability in deferoxamine pretreated group was 58% of the normally cultured group, and that in the OGD group was 25% of the normally cultured group (P<0. 05). The ratio of condensed nuclei in deferoxamine pretreated group was 38% and that in OGD group was 30% (P<0. 05). Immunofluorescence staining found that expression HIF-1a, and EPO protein appeared in cultured astrocytes after deferoxamine pretreatment. RT-PCR confirmed that mRNA of HIF-1a and EPO was up-regulated after deferoxamine pretreatment. Conclusion: Deferoxamine preconditioning can protect the astrocytes from hypoxia damage, which is related to deferoxamine-induced increase of HIF-1a and EPO expression.

AIM: To investigate the difference of cognitive impairment and depression between age-related macular degeneration ( AMD ) group and the control group patients. ·METHODS: A prospective case-control study was performed from November 2014 to August 2016 in the hospital for AMD patients and sex-matched control group. The Mini-Mental State Examination ( MMSE) and the Geriatric Depression Scale ( GDS ) score of each patient were collected for statistical analyzing. ·RESULTS: There were total 84 cases ( 168 eyes ) included in the study. The difference of visual acuity between the two group was statistically significant ( F=8. 953, P=0. 004) by baseline data analyzing. There were no significant differences in MMSE scores between the two groups according to educational status ( P>0. 05 ) , while the prevalence of cognitive impairment in each group was statistically significant (x2 =4. 14, P=0. 042). The difference of GDS scores, prevalence of total and mild depression between two groups were both statistically significant (F=5. 852, P=0. 018; x2=6. 372, P=0. 012; x2 = 5. 674, P = 0. 017 ). However, there was no statistically significant difference in the prevalence of moderate to severe depression (x2=0. 672, P=0. 412). ·CONCLUSION: AMD patients have a higher prevalence of depression. Although MMSE score differences were not statistically significant in subgroup analysis by educational levels, AMD patients are more likely to have cognitive impairment overall.

Objective To investigate the distribution of pathogenic bacteria of vaginal discharge in bacterial vaginosis.Methods The results of bacterial culture and drug sensitive tests of vaginal discharge from patients with bacterial vaginosis were analyzed.Results The positive rate of bacteria culture of vaginal discharge was 79.3%(115/145).The dominant bacteria were staphylococcus epidermidis 27.0%(31/115),staphylococcus intermedius and staphylococcus aureus 13.0%(15/115),which were obviously higher than other germs.The drug sensitive tests showed that staphylococcus were relatively sensitive to vancomycin,fosfomycin,amikacin and rifampin.But the drug resistance to penicillin,tetracycline,erythromycin and oxacillin was the highest.Conclusion The kinds of pathogenic bacteria in vaginal discharge are various.The main bacterium is staphylococcus,and drug resistance is very severe.The isolation and drug sensitive test of pathogenic bacteria play an important role in diagnosis and treatment of gynecological disease.

The morphological indexes of the Scuophularia ningpoensis seedlings including the longth, diameter and weight were measured, clustering analysis was used to set up the standard quality grading of seedlings of S. Ningpoensis by SPSS. Field experiment was carried out to measure the indicators of plants growth and development, the yield and the quality. The results showed that the growth and yield of class I seedlings were better than those of class II and III. The content of main active ingredients was affected barely by seedlings classification. To ensure the quality, class II seedlings or above should be used for plantation. The established quality classification standard of S. ningpoensis seedlings was scientific and feasible, and provides the basis for the standardized cultivation of S. ningpoensis.

Objective To investigate curative efficacy of ginkgo biloba extract dripping pills in treatment of acute coronary syndrome(ACS) after percutaneous coronary intervention(PCI) and its effects on platelet aggregation rate(PAR), activated clotting time(ACT) and antithrombin(AT)Ⅲ. Methods 90 patients of ACS treated with PCI who received therapy from January 2014 to October 2016 in Zhejiang green town cardiovascular hospital were selected and randomly divided into the observation group and the control group , 45 cases in each group.The control group was treated with routine treatment after PCI, while the observation group was combined with ginkgo biloba extract dripping pills.After treatment of seven days, the changed of PAR, ACT, ATⅢ and adverse cardiovascular events were compared, after treatment three months, the seattle angina scale were compared. Results After treatment, the levels of PAR in the observation group were significantly lower than that of the control group, and the levels of ACT and ATⅢ were significantly higher than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05), the total incidence of adverse cardiovascular events in the observation group was significantly lower than that of the control group , the difference was statistically significant ( P<0.05), in the seattle angina scale, the scores of stable state of angina pectoris, the attack of angina pectoris, physical activity limitation, treatment satisfaction in the observation group were significantly better than that of the control group, the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05). Conclusion Ginkgo biloba extract dripping pill is well for ACS after PCI, which can effectively relieve clinical symptoms, to improve the expression of PAR, ACT and ATⅢ, helps to reduce the incidence of adverse cardiovascular events.

Purpose:The value of color doppler ultrasonography( CDUS) in monitoring hemodynamic changes was investigated in patients with hyperdynamic circulatory state before and during 730 days after orthotopic liver transplantation.Materials and Methods:83 cases of orthotopic liver transplantation (OLT) were examined by CDUS to assess the hemodynamic changes of portal vein,hepatic artery,splenic artery and longitudinal diameter of the spleen ( LDS).Results:(1) Portal flow velocity ( PFV) was significantly lower in pre-OLT but higher than controls (P < 0.05 ) during 730 days after OLT.Resistance index of the hepatic artery ( HARI) in pre-OLT and within 7 days- after OLT was significantly higher (P<0.05).(2) Resistance index of splenic artery ( SARI) was also significantly higher in pre-OLT (P < 0.05 ).LDS was significantly higher after OLT than in both pre-OLT phase and controls(P<0.05).Conclusions: In early stage after OLT,HARI changed from high to low value and so did PFV,which kept the stability of hepatic blood flow.In late stage,high PFV and large spleen improved,but could not back to normal.

Objective: To detect methylation status of p16 CDKN2A exon 1 during experimental carcinogenesis in rats. Methods:Thirty male clean SD rats were fed with 0.02 g/L of 4-nitroquinoline-oxide (4NQO) in drinking water.13, 16 and 24 weeks after experiment the normal, moderate-severe dysplasia and invasive squamous cell carcinoma tissues were removed from their tongues respectively; then the methylation status of p16 CDKN2A exon 1 were detected by methylation-specific PCR(MSP). Results:A 123 bp-unmethylated product was amplified in all samples but the methylated product was not detected in any of the samples. Conclusion: The p16 CDKN2A exon 1 appeares to be unmethylated during carcinogenesis of tongue cancer in experimental rats.
