Objective To study the mechanisms of increasing amyloid [β1-42 (Aβ42) level by presenilin-1 (PS-1) mutation of V97L.Methods Expression level of neprilysin (NEP) in nontransfected, or mock vector, wild type (wt) PS-1 and V97L-PS-1-transfected SH-SY5Y cells were assessed by reverse transcriptional-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) and Western blot.The level of Aβ42 was also assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA).Results The mRNA level of NEP was decreased significantly in PS-1 V97L transfected cells (0.650 ± 0.010) compared to that in normal cells (1.090 ± 0.015), wt PS-1 gene (1.040 ± 0.021) and mock (1.080 ± 0.020) stably transfected cell lines (t = 9.236, 10.452, 5.678; all P < 0.01).Although there was a decreased tendency in the protein expression of NEP in PS-Ⅰ V97L transfected cells (1.000 ± 0.126)compared to that in normal cells (1.020 ± 0.110), wt PS-1 gene (1.040 ±0.110), mock (2.130 ±0.130) stably transfected cell lines, nosignificant differences were found.The expression of Aβ42 was increased significantly in PS-1 V97L transfected cells compared to other cell lines (t = 2.109, 3.355, 3.976; all P < 0.01).Conclusions PS-1 V97L mutation can decrease the transcription of NEP, however, in contrast, this mutation also resulted in increased Aβ42.The mechanism needs further analysis.

Objective To assess the tolerance of preoperative carbohydrate-rich beverage,to determine its effect on postoperative insulin resistance and analyze its potential mechanism.Methods Thirty-two patients undergoing elective colorectal cancer resection were recruited to this randomized controlled study and assigned to two groups at random.Patient in control group was fasted before operation,while patient in study group was given oral water.Homeostasis model assessment(HOMA)indexes,activity of PTK,and mRNA and(or)protein expressions of PKB,PI3K and GluT4 were measured before and(or)immediately after surgery.Furthermore preoperative well-beings of patients were studied.Results Among well-beings,feeling of thirst,hunger and anxiety tended to be better in patients receiving carbohydrate-rich beverages compared with fasted ones(P0.05).Conclusion Preoperative consumption of carbohydrate-containing fluids is safe and effective.Provision of carbohydrate energy source prior to surgery may attenuate immediate postoperative insulin resistance.A carbohydrate-rich drink enhances insulin action at the time of onset of anaesthesia or surgery by activating three kinases named PTK,PI3K,PKB which are key enzymes in pathway of insulin signal transduction.It is likely to explain the effects on postoperative insulin resistance.

Objective:The main purpose of this research is an experiment on the application of a comfort nursing model to a stem cell collection of peripheral blood procedure.Methods: The comparison method has been applied in this research. 178 cases have been selected as a whole research group. Then 88 cases are the observed group who will adopt the comfortable nursing model and 90 cases are the control group who will adopt the normal model.Results: The result of the comparison method shows that the observed group has lower mental pressure during the stem cell collection progress. Furthermore, the satisfaction feedback of the observed group is 90.9% but the control group is 67.8%.Conclusion: This research found that the application of the comfortable nursing modeling in stem cell collection of peripheral blood will ensure the collection process is completed smoothly. More importantly, an improvement was made in medical treatment quality and patient satisfaction.

Objective To explore the effect of heat shock protein 70(HSP70)expression in the role of Curcumin inhibited staurosporine(STS)-mediated neurons toxic injury.Methods The primary cultured hippocampal neurons was cultured in vitro and the stress damage model of STS-induced nerve cell toxicity was established.The experiment were divided into six groups according to the added drugs:normal control group,the STS model group (final concentration was 20μmol/L),Quercetin+STS model group(final concentration were 10 μmol/L and 20 μmol/L,respectively),Curcumin+STS pretreatment group(for 20μmol/L final concentration),Curcumin+Quercetin+STS treatment group(final concentration were 20μmol/L,10μmol/L and 20μmol/L,respectively)and Curcumin treatment group(final concentration was 20μmol/L).The cell viability were determined by thiazole blue (MTT)method,cell toxicity were measured by lactate dehydrogenase(LDH)release rate and HPS70 expression were detected by Western Blot. Results MTT results showed that the cell viability of Curcumin+STS pretreatment group was significantly higher than STS model group(P<0.001).Compared with Quercetin+STS model group,the cell viability of Curcumin+Quercetin+STS treatment group had little change.LDH results show that the nerve cell toxicity of Curcumin+STS pretreatment group was obviously less than that of STS model group(P<0.001).Western Blot results show that compared with STS model group,HSP70 protein expression in Curcumin+STS pretreatment group was significantly increased(P<0.001).Conclusion Curcumin can inhibit STS-mediated neurons toxicity stress damage though increasing HSP70 expression,when added Quercetin to block HSP70 expression in nerve cells,the inhibiting effect of Curcumin on STS-mediated neuron toxic stress injury is counteract.

The paper was aimed to review the modeling methods of spleen-yang deficiency, which can be classified into imitating traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) etiology methods and modern medicine methods. At present, methods of modeling were not generally accepted and the main presented problems were as follows. Modern medicine methods did not conformed to the rules of TCM etiology and pathogenesis. The evaluation of yang deficiency models was not accurate. Some modeling methods can lead to other diseases at the same time. The names of spleen deficiency model were not unified. It was difficult to distinguish the modeling methods of spleen-yang deficiency and spleen-qi deficiency, and etc. Model evaluation of spleen-yang deficiency was various. However, the domestic standard evaluation system had not been formed. The main model evaluation problems were as follows. Macro symptoms of the model lacked of objective and quantitative evaluation. It lacked of evaluation indexes of pulse and tongue with TCM characteristics. The disproof of prescription selection was not unified. Similar syndromes had not been ruled out. The microscopic indexes were fragmented, and etc. This paper reviewed on animal modeling methods of spleen-yang deficiency.

Antagonism, esterase isozyme ployacrylamide gel electrophoretic (EST-PAGE) and cluster analysis was used in the study of 14 strains of Ganoderma. The results showed that there were 18 bands of EST with different Rf. Cluster analysis at 50% similarity level showed that all strains could be clustered into five groups, the first included Xian zhi, Da xian 823, Nan han, Yuan zhi 6, Tian zhi, Han zhi; the second included Chi zhi 10, Chi zhi 12, Chi zhi, Ri ben hong zhi; the third included Zi zhi, Hei zhi; the fourth included Xue zhi; the fifth included Bai zhi. And this result was similar to the result of antagonism and morphological characters. Because of its stablity, the technique of EST can be used for identification of Gamoderma.

Abstract?AlM:To investigate the effects of the MUC5AC levels and ocular function of the patients with glaucoma and cataract with combined surgery.? METHODS: Twenty - eight patients treated with glaucoma and cataract combined surgery were chosen as the observation group from December 2011 to June 2014 in our hospital, and other 28 cases of glaucoma and cataract did not undergo surgical treatment were selected as the control group, 30 healthy subjects were as healthy control group. the MUC5AC level and ocular surface score of the three subjects before surgery 1d, after 3 and 6mo were compared.?RESULTS: The NUC5AC of the two groups of patients was significantly lower than that of the healthy control group before surgery (P<0. 05), the ocular function score was significantly higher than the healthy control group ( P<0. 05). After 1mo, the MUC5AC of the observation group were significantly lower than that of before surgery ( P<0. 05), after 3mo MUC5AC content gradually increased to preoperative levels, after 6mo the MUC5AC were significantly higher than before surgery (P<0. 05). After 1mo, ocular function scores were significantly higher than the preoperative ( P< 0. 05 ), while after 3mo, ocular function scores decreased after 6mo of ocular surface function scores were significantly lower than the preoperative (P<0. 05). While the control group after 6mo, with the passage of time, the MUC5AC content gradually reduce, ocular function score increased gradually. ?CONCLUSlON:To treat the patients with glaucoma and cataract with combined surgery, the level of MUC5AC can temporary decrease. Ocular function score can temporary increase in, but after 3mo, it can be gradually improved.
