Objective To preparegraphene quantum dots (GQDs) and construct a novel biosensor for determination of dopamine (DA) and uric acid (UA).Methods The GQDs was prepared by carbonization method from citric acid as carbon sources.Differential pulse voltammetry was used by the modified electrodes to detect uric acid and dopamine,and the detection performance was evaluate.Collected three experimenters morning urine on July 29,2016.The proposed sensor was used for biological samples detection.Results The size of GQDs were between 3 to 5 nm,which was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).The proposed sensor had good linear correlation of 50～600 μmol/L UA (r2 =0.996 6) and 2～ 240 μmol/L DA (r2 =0.992 5).In uric acid in urine samples' detection (n=3),RSD value was less than 3％.The standard addition recovery rates of UA and DA were in 95.7％～101.4％ and 96％～102％ respectively.Conclusion The biosensor based on GQDs for determination DA and UA had been constructed successfully.

The author detected the genetic diversity and genetic relationship within and among eight medicinal species of Dipsacus by the approach of sequence-related amplified polymorphism (SRAP). The associated genetic parameters were calculated by POPGENE 1.31. The Genetic distance was calculated by TREECONW and the systematic diagrams of genetic relationship were clustered by UPG-MA. The results showed that, using 26 primers, a total of 558 bands were produced, of which 539 were polymorphic loci. There was a high level of genetic diversity among species (PPB = 96.59%, Na = 1.9659, Na = 1.3375, H = 0.2143, I = 0.3423). However, genetic diversity was lower within species, the average of genetic parameters was PPB = 6.97%, Na = 1.0697, Na = 1.0311, H = 0.0187, I = 0.0291. The Nei's genetic differentiation coefficient was 0.9126, indicated that most of the genetic variation existed among species. By clustering analysis, different individuals gathered in the same group and the classified result of SRAP marker between traditional modal characters was almost same. The results confirmed that SRAP marker can be used as one of the effective methods to reveal the genetic diversity and relationship among medicinal species of Dipsacus.

To investigate the genetic diversity among wild Dipsacus asperoides in China, 66 germplasmic resources of D. asperoides were analyzed by Start Codon Targeted Polymorphism (SCoT) molecular markers. Genetic distance was calculated by TREECONW software and the systematic diagram of genetic relationship was clustered by UPGMA method. The results showed that the totals of 181 bands were detected using 20 primers , among which 109 were polymorphic bands. The average percentage of polymorphic bands was 60.13%. Genetic distance changed from 0.030 6 to 0.181 4. The clustering results showed that there was no significant correlation between the classification of the wild D. asperoides and their geographical origin. The relatively high genetic diversity of D. asperoides provides the basis for breeding new varieties.

This study assessed the clinical application of transvaginal three-dimensional ultrasound (3D TVUS) in the diagnosis of congenital uterine malformation. A retrospective study was performed on 62 patients with congenital uterine malformation confirmed hysteroscopically and/or laparoscopically. The patients were subjected to transvaginal two-dimensional ultrasound (2D TVUS) and 3D TVUS. The accuracy rate was compared between the two methods. The accuracy rate of 3D TVUS was (98.38%, 61/62), higher than that of 2D TVUS (80.65%, 50/62). 3D TVUS coronal plane imaging could demonstrate the internal shape of the endometrial cavity and the external contour of the uterine fundus. It allowed accurate measurement on the coronary plane, and could three-dimensionally show the image of cervical tube, thereby providing information for the diagnosis of some complex uterine malformation. 3D TVUS imaging can obtain comprehensive information of the uterus malformation, and it is superior to 2D TVUS for the diagnosis of congenital uterine malformations, especially complex uterine anomaly.

ObjectiveTo study the correlation of urinary iodine and thyroid function in elderly men in Harbin,and to provide the basis for formulation of health measures for the elderly.MethodsSeventy five cases of clinically healthy elderly men were enrolled for check-up of urinary iodine,thyroid function and B-ultrasound in Geriatric Ward the Forth Affiliated Hospital of Harbin Medical University in 2010.The subjects of investigation were divided into iodine appropriate and iodine sufficient groups and thyroid function parameters and B-ultrasound results were compared.ResultsThe average age of the 75 cases of healthy elderly men was (79.07 ± 4.78) years old and the median of urinary iodine was 198.4 μg/L.There were 62.67％ (47/75) elderly males whose iodine nutritional status was appropriate,but there were still some individuals(6.67％,5/75) in the iodine excess state.The level of TSH of the iodine appropriate group [(1.91 ± 0.82)mU/L] was lower than that iodine sufficient group [(4.98 ±0.60)mU/L,t =12.58,P ＜ 0.05],while the level of FT3 of the iodine appropriate group[(4.71 ± 0.56)pmol/L]was higher than that iodine sufficient group[(3.31 ± 0.43)pmol/L,t =12.18,P ＜ 0.05].But the difference of FT4between the two groups [(14.91 ± 3.12),(14.06 ± 2.79)pmol/L] was not statistically significant (t =1.40,P ＞0.05].The thyroid volume of iodine sufficient group[(20.9 ± 6.1 )cm3] was higher than that iodine appropriate group [(17.9 ± 5.6)cm3,t =2.11,P ＜ 0.05].ConclusionsSufficient quantities of iodine intake may affect the thyroid of elderly people.Whether the quantity of iodine intake of the elderly population should be decreased or not need to be further studied.

Objective To investigate the efficacy and safety of isosorbide mononitrate sustained release tables plus vinorelbine and cisplatin in patients with previously untreated advanced non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC).Methods One hundred and ten patients with stage ⅢB-Ⅳ NSCLC were randomly assigned to group A (57 cases) and group B (53 cases) by random mumber table.Patients in group A were treated with vinorelbine 25 mg/m2 on the first and eighth day and cisplatin 25 mg/m2 on day 2-4,with transdermally applied isosorbide mononitrate sustained release tables (40 mg,daily for 8 days),and patients in group B were treated with vinorelbine and cisplatin.Response to treatment was assessed by RECIST1.1 and adverse effect was assessed by NCI-CTC(3.0).Results The response rate in group A (58.2％,32/55 patients) was significandy higher than that for patients in group B (30.8％,16/52 patients; x2 =8.120,P =0.004).Median TTP and median OS in group A were longer than those in group B (8.2 vs 5.8 months,x2 =10.684,P =0.001 ; 11.6 vs 9.0 months,x2 =11.231,P =0.001).While,patients with squamous carcinoma showed better response to chemotherapy (RR =2.438,95％ CI:1.136-5.231,P =0.022).Adverse effect difference was not significant between group A and group B,except headache.The rate of grade 1 to 2 headache in group A (34.5％ ; 19 of 55 patients) was significantly higher than that in group B (3.8％ ; 2 of 52 patients; P ＜0.001).Conclusion Use of isosorbide mononitrate sustained release tables combined with vinorelbine and cisplatin may improve overall response,TTP and OS in patients with advanced stage NSCLC.

ObjectiveTo study the expression changes of peripheral blood monocyte human leukocyte antigen DR (HLA-DR) in patients with severe craniocerebral injury,and investigate the correlation between HLA-DR expression and infection and prognosis.MethodsNinety patients with craniocerebral injury were selected as experimental group and were divided according to the Glasgow coma scale (GCS) score after hospitalization into experimental group 1 (GCS score 13-15 scores ),experimental group 2 (GCS score 9-12 scores) and experimental group 3 (GCS score 3-8 scores) with 30 patients each,which were moderate,medium,severe craniocerebral injury,respectively.Thirty healthy people were chosen at the same period as control group.The HLA-DR expression of experimental group was detected after 1,3,7 and 14 d of admission by flow cytometry,and the HLA-DR expression of control group was detected on the day they got physical examination.The rates of infection,cure,disability,vegetative state and mortality were counted after 30 d of admission.ResultsThe HLA-DR expressions in experimental group 1 and experimental group 2 after 1,3,7,14 d of admission were (28.11 ± 2.37),(26.45 ± 1.63),(27.75 ± 1.83),(27.15 ± 2.17) MCF and (29.34 ±2.07),(27.55 ± 1.63),(28.42 ± 1.94),(29.46 ±2.12) MCF,which had no statistical difference compared with that in control group [(29.18 ± 1.91 ) MCF](P＞ 0.05).The HLA-DR expressions in experimental group 1 and experimental group 2 after 1,3,7 d of admission and control group had statistical differences compared with those in experimental group 3 after 1,3,7 d of admission [(18.02 ± 1.78),(16.05 ± 1.97 ),(20.76 ± 1.65) MCF ] (P ＜ 0.05).The HLA-DR expressions in experimental group 1 and experimental group 2 after 14 d of admission and control group had no statistical significance compared with that in experimental group 3 after 14 d of admission [ (26.13 ± 2.15) MCF](P＞ 0.05).The infection rates of experimental group 1,experimental group 2 and experimental group 3 were 0,3.6％(1/28),82.8％(24/29),respectively,while the cure rates were 100.0％ (30/30),100.0％ (28/28),10.3％ (3/29),the disability rates were 0,0,41.4％ (12/29),the vegetative state rates were 0,0,20.7％ (6/29),and the mortality were 0,0,27.6％ (8/29).There was no statistical significance in the rates of infection,cure,disability,vegetative state and mortality between experimental group 1 and experimental group 2 (P＞ 0.05 ).While there was statistical differences in the rates of infection,cure,disability,vegetative state and mortality among experimental group 1,experimental group 2 and experimental group 3 (P ＜ 0.05).ConclusionsThe HLA-DR expression changes of patients with moderate and medium craniocerebral injury after 1,3,7,14 d of admission are not significant.The HLA-DR expression of patients with severe craniocerebral injury begins to decline from 1 d after injury,declines obviously at 3 d,increases from 7 d,returns to normal level at 14 d.The decline of HLA-DR expression in patients with severe craniocerebral injury is correlated with the infection,and predicts poor prognosis.
