Objective To investigate the effect of losartan,an angiotensin 1I type 1 receptor antagonist(ATlRA),on transforming growth factor-β1 expression in alcoholic nephropathy in rats.Methods Male adult Wistar rats were random divided into three subgroups and treated daily for 12 weeks as follows,rats were treated with normal saline[20ml/(kg·d)gavage twicely]in vehicle group,rats were treatedwith alcohol[400g/L,8g/(kg·d)gavage twieely]in alcoholic nephropathy,and rats were concomitantly treated with alcohol and Iosartan [200mg/L,ling/(kg·d),gavage]in alcohol+losartan.HE staining,Sirius red staining,electronic microscope,and immunohistochemistry were used to examine histologic changes,collagen fibers deposition,and the expression of TGF-BI.Results Compared with vehicle treated rats,alcoholic nephropathy rats showed tubular vacuolation,granular degeneration,swelling,tubulointerstitial inflammatory cell infil tration,and rarely mesangial proliferation and matrix deposition.Sirius red staining displayed a significant increase in collagen fibers in alias of glomemli,tubulointerstitium and vessels.Concomitant administration of losartan reversed all of above parameters(P<0.05).The upregulated expression of TGF-β1 proteins was significantly suppressed by losartan treatment(P<0.05).Conclusions These findings suggest that alcoholic nephropathy is characterized by the tubular granular degeneration,vacuolation,swelling,and tubulointemtitial inflammato-ry cell infiltration,and this is associated with upregulation of TGF-β1.Losartan treatment offers protection effect by downregulating TGF-β1 expression.

Based on the theory of biological protection, this paper introduces the present situation of foreign and Chinese biological protective equipments.Some countermeasures are put forward concerning the development of Chinese biological protective equipment.

Objective To provide an accessorial reference platform in purchasing medical equipment for the City. Methods The Medical Equipment Selection System(MESS) was designed and developed by combining the medical equipment selection model and selection way with delphi7 based on Windows XP, then a selection open-platform of human-computer interaction was formed. Results The tested index data in which five types of semi -automatic biochemistry analyzer, including SBA-830, SBA-610, CA-958E, AVE-852, Microlab 300, these can prove the system running well and have strong objective and scientific. Conclusion The platform has good stability and sensitivity, which can provide an accessorial decision-making platform for purchasing medical equipment.

Objective To evaluate the performance of a kind of military health service rescue vest. Methods The author studied the structure analysis, basic performance experiments and ergonomics tests. Results The vest was scientifically designed, easy to use, in line with the ergonomics and can fulfill the requirements of military health service secure in different environment. Conclusion The secure vest can fulfill medical first aid at scene and military health service rescue. It can be used for soldiers.

The composition and development of foreign army's medical equipments are discussed,of which,medical equipments for satisfying the requirements of informatized war,NBC protection and MOOTW are paid special attention to.Foreign army also tries hard to enhance medical equipment's capabilities in rapid response and theatre survivability.The advices for development of PLA's medical equipment are also put forward based on the analysis on its present situation.

This paper introduces a small and light one-handed electronic tourniquet which adds the function of electronic timing and alarming to the traditional locked tourniquet. The tourniquet has an effect on first aid hemostasis from extremity wound in emergency.
