The study was made on 3H-leucine incorporation into brain of offsprings born by their mothers who were fed in severe iodine deficiency area. Control group received an iodine-supplemented diet (1.7mg KIO3/kg food). Disintegration per minute (dpm) was used as an index to assess the 3H-leu-cine incorporation rate in comparision of the two groups.The results of 3H-leucine incorporation into brain showed that the dpm/mg of brain cortex and cerebellum was significantly lower in experimental group than that of control group at the time of 1-14 hours after injection of the preparation on 11-day offsprings (p

Objective: To investigate the prevalence and influencing factors of caries among Tibetan primary school students in Maqu County, Gansu Province, so as to provide insights into caries control among children living in ethnic minority areas. Methods: Tibetan primary school students at grades three to six were sampled from two primary schools in Maqu County using a multi-stage cluster sampling method. Primary school students' demographics, dietary habits and oral health habits were collected using questionnaire surveys, and the caries was tested. Factors affecting the development of caries were identified using a multivariable Poisson regression model. Results: A total of 378 Tibetan primary school students were tested, and there were 334 students with caries, with a caries prevalence rate of 86.30%, and a mean caries number of (4.72±2.69) teeth. Multivariable Poisson regression analysis showed that grade (grade 5, IRR=0.791, 95%CI: 0.706-0.886; grade 6, IRR=0.698, 95%CI: 0.593-0.822), frequency of vegetable intake (less than once daily, IRR=0.872, 95%CI: 0.778-0.978; once daily, IRR=0.769, 95%CI: 0.677-0.873; twice and more daily, IRR=0.571, 95%CI: 0.469-0.696), frequency of tooth brushing (once daily, IRR=0.814, 95%CI: 0.734-0.904; twice and more daily, IRR=0.606, 95%CI: 0.521-0.703) and frequency of oral examinations (IRR=0.736, 95%CI: 0.594-0.911) were influencing factors of caries. Conclusion The prevalence of caries is 86.30% among Tibetan primary school students at grades 3 to 6 in Maqu County, and age, dietary habit and oral health habit are factors affecting the development of caries.

Objective To investigate the association of PPAR gamma Pro12Ala polymorphisms with conroy heart disease(CHD). Methods One hundred eighty impatients were recruited in the study. Venous blood samples were collected after 12 h of fasting from all patients. DNA was extracted and Pro2Ala polymorphism in the PPAR gamma 2 genes was genotyped through the PCR-RFLP. The frequency and distribution of Pro2Ala polymorphism in Chinese Han population with CHD were analyzed. Gensini Score based on coronarography were used to grade the coronary. Results There were a total of 135 CHD patients,of which 52 were affected with single coronary lesion,43 with multi-coronary lesion,and 45 were normal. The frequency of P12/P12, A12/P12 in the coronary lesion group were 92.6% (125/135) and 7.4% (10/135) which were similar to that of 93.3% (42/45) and 6.7% (3/45)(P =0. 548). In the single coronary lesion group, the frequencies of P12/P12 and A12/P12 were 94.0% (42/52)and 9.6% (5/52) ,and 90.0% (36/40) and 10.0% (4/40) in the bi-coronary lesion group,97.7% (42/43) and 2.3% (1/43) in the multi-coronary lesion group,with no significant difference among the three groups( P ＞0.05).There were no significant difference on the frequency of P12/P12 and A12/P12 between various subgroups defined according to Gensini score (P = 0. 246). Compared to the frequency in non-obese, the frequency of A12/P12 were significantly higher in the obese ( P = 0.028 ). In PPAR gamma 2 genes B the Exton BstuI enzyme restriction site genes, BMI,waist-hip ratio and total cholesterol in the carriers of P12A genotype were significantly higher than those in the P12P genotype carriers ( P ＜ 0. 05 ). Conclusions PPAR gamma Pro12Ala polymorphisms might not be associated with CHD in Chinese Han population. The frequency of A12/P12 in obese is significantly higher than that in non-obese. PPAR gamma Pro12Ala polymorphisms might be associated with adiposity and lipid metabolism.

Objective: To observe the effect of acupuncture, tuina plus rehabilitative therapy on lower limb motor dysfunction in infants with spastic cerebral palsy.
Methods:A total of 60 infants with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into a treatment group and a control group by random digital table, 30 cases in each group. The treatment group was treated with acupuncture, tuina therapy plus rehabilitative therapy of Western medicine. The control group was simply treated with rehabilitative therapy of Western medicine, as same as that for the treatment group. The assessment was respectively given to the sick infants before the treatment and after the treatment of six months, to evaluate lying and rolling scores in dimension A, to evaluate sitting score in dimension B, to evaluate crawling and kneeling scores in dimension C, and evaluate standing score in dimension D in the gross motor functions and determine the muscle tone of the gastrocnemius muscle by modified Ashworth scale (MAS).
Results:The differences were not statistically significant in comparison of the gross motor functions and the muscle tone of the gastrocnemius muscle between the two groups of sick infants before the treatment (P>0.05); after the treatment of six months, the above items were obviously improved in the two groups (P<0.01), better in the treatment group than in the control group, with the statistical significance in the differences between the groups (P<0.01).
Conclusion:Acupuncture, tuina plus rehabilitative therapy of Western medicine are remarkable in the therapeutic effects in the treatment of motor disorders of the lower limbs in the sick infants with spastic cerebral palsy. This therapeutic method is safe, simple and convenient and needs to be clinically popularized and applied.

Objective To explore the impact of elective caesarean section and vaginal delivery on maternal pelvic floor dysfunction. Methods A total of 131 pregnant women from January 2014 to March 2015 in our hospital were divided into observation group which re-ceived elective caesarean section and control group which received vaginal delivery.All the maternal and neonatal clinical data were counted. The occurrence of pelvic floor dysfunction disease in postpartum women after 6 to 8 weeks was observed.The occurrence of vaginal wall pro-lapse,uterine prolapse,stress urinary incontinence (SUI)and maternal pelvic floor muscle damage between two groups were compared and analyzed.Results There were varying degrees anterior vaginal wall prolapse phenomenon occured on 31 cases in obervation group,the pro-lapse rate was 67.39%,compared with 92.94% of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).Observation group with 13 cases of descent vaginae posterior,the prolapse rate was only 28.26%,compared with 75.29% of the control group,the differ-ence was statistically significant (P <0.05 ).The maternal uterine prolapse rate of observation group was about 13.04%,compared with 35.29%(30 cases)of the control group,the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).Observation group with 6 cases of maternal SUI, the probability is about 13.04%,compared with 29.41% of control group,the difference was statistically significant (P <0.05).There was no significant difference in deep and shallow maternal pelvic floor muscle between two groups(P >0.05).Conclusion To adopt elective cesar-ean section has a lower probabilities of postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction disease than that by vaginal delivery for maternal women,which is propitious to the recovery of pregnant women,while it has nothing to do with pelvic floor muscle damage.

The effects of different iodide intakes on the thyroid sodium iodide symporter (NIS) mRNA expression, thyroid hormones, urinary iodine and tissue iodine in thyroid were observed. NIS mRNA expression was elevated; and urinary iodine, thyroid tissue iodine and thyroid hormones were significantly lowered in low iodine group. In high iodine group, NIS mRNA expression was inhibited and thyroid hormones decreased. The results show that NIS is the important component of this autoregulatory mechanism. Both low and high iodine intakes can lead to hypothyroidism.

OBJECTIVE:To understand the utilization of antihypertensives in our hospital.METHODS:150medical records of the patients who had received antihypertensives and were discharged in June,2002were collected.The kind,utiliza?tion and combined use of antihypertensives were analysed.RESULTS:The first4places of drugs used in order of number of case were angiotensin converting enzyme inhibitors,?-receptor blocking agents,diuretics and calcium antagonists.The first3places of DDDs of antihypertensives were Betaloc,Benazepril and Fosinopril.DUI≤1.Most patients received a single agent or combination of two or three agents.CONCLUSION:The study shows that complications are frequent and so is the combined use of drugs,and the use of drugs is basically rational.

Objective To study the effect of ATRA and IFN? on growth and differentiation of SH-SY5Y cell line and the possible molecular mechanisms.Methods The expression of TrkA mRNA was detected by RT-PCR.Trypan blue exclusion was used to detect the antiproliferative effect of ATRA,IFN?and ATRA +IFN? on SY5Y cells.Morphologic changes were observed using phase-contrast microscopy.Results TrkA mRNA was upregulated by ATRA and IFN?.ATRA and IFN? could induce morphological differentiation and inhibit growth of SY5Y cells.The combination of ATRA+IFN? enhanced the induced differentiation and growth inhibition of SY5Y cells.Conclusion Synergistic effects of ATRA and IFN? on growth inhibition and inducing differentiation in SY5Y cells are observed and this may result from upregulating the expression of TrkA mRNA.
