In the past, the ways to amblyopia neural mechanism research are given priority to visual electrophysiology and so on, which express the result use two -dimensional form, these ways mainly research the functions of the state before the lateral geniculate body. For the study of optic center, animal models are used to research it. But these kinds of methods are unable to accurately detect amblyopia neural mechanisms of human beings. Vulnerable to a variety of factors, it is difficult to finish the amblyopia treatment effect evaluation. Functional magnetic resonance imaging ( fMRI ) can reflect the three-dimensional visual cortex neuron activity noninvasively and accurately, and give rise to amblyopia neural mechanism and therapeutic effect evaluation. Therefore, in this paper, the amblyopia neural mechanisms and visual center after treatment effect evaluation of fMRI research progress are summarized.

In this study,we isolated and characterized chlorobenzene degrading bacteria from the effluent and sludge samples of one chemical plant.Minimal medium supplemented with chlorobenzene as sole car-bon source was used during the enrichment and domestication process.Seven major bacterial isolates were obtained and purified.Their 16S rRNA genes were amplified by PCR for sequencing and their identities were determined with homology comparisons.Five of the seven isolates belong to Actinomycetales in-cluding Kocuria KD139,Rhodococcus KD140,Rhodococcus KD142,Arthrobacter KD230,and Ar-throbacter KD232;one is classified as Bacillus d KD178;and another one as Stenotrophomonas KD237.The phylogenetic tree was also constructed based on the analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequences.Chloro-benzene concentrations were quantified with gas chromatography to investigate the bio-degradation rates of the isolated strains.Stenotrophomonas KD237 degraded 60.78% chlorobenzene in the minimal medium within 24 h.

Objective:To assess the clinical efficacy of two different diameter Osstem MS one-stage implant restoration of small edentu-lous space in the mandibular anterior region.Methods:85 patients were treated by Osstem MS one-stage implant with the diameter of 2.5 mm(n =66)and 3.0 mm(n =66)respectively for the restoration of small edentulous space in mandibular anterior region.The mesi-al and distal marginal bone level and soft tissue were statistically analyzed after 1 2 and 24 months of functional load.The implant survival rate was evaluated according to Wheeler's survival criteria.Results:The survival rate of the implants was 1 00%.The mean changes in marginal bone level(mm)on the mesial side of 2.5 mm and 3.0 mm diameter implants were 0.275 ±0.638 and 0.098 ±0.31 9,distal aspects were 0.360 ±0.588 and 0.1 09 ±0.323 after 1 2 months of functional load;while 0.299 ±0.672 and 0.099 ±0.31 8,0.381 ± 0.581 and 0.1 07 ±0.31 9 after 24 months of functional load.The mesial and distal marginal bone loss of 2.5 mm diameter implant was greater than that of 3.0 mm after 1 2 and 24 months of functional load(P <0.05).No significant change on the marginal bone level was found aomog the same diameter implants from 1 2 to 24 month observation(P >0.05).No relevant complication of peri-implant soft tissue was shown.Conclusion:Favorable clinical effects including function and aesthetics can be achieved by Osstem MS one-stage implant with the diameter of 2.5 mm or 3.0 mm for the restoration of small edentulous space in the mandibular anterior region,however,the mar-ginal bone loss was greater around 2.5 mm diameter implant.

Objective To explore the cause, clinical characteristic and the relation to the alterations of bone metabolism and bone mineral density (BMD) in senile male patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Fifty senile male patients with simple stable COPD were divided into moderate and severe groups based on the diagnostic criteria of pulmonary function. Thirty senile male health volunteers were considered as control group. Blood gas analysis, BMD, bone mineral content (BMC), biochemical indexes relative to the bone formation and bone absorption in blood and urine were measured and analyzed. Results Reductions in BMD and BMC were more significant in two COPD groups than those in control group (P

BACKGROUND:How to reduce the incidence and mortality of cardiovascular diseases is an urgent concern in the field of public health.
OBJECTIVE:To explore the influence of adenovirus-mediated NSF-siRNA release from vesoactive substance on the cardiac function of a rat model of myocardial infarction.
METHODS:A total of 36 adult Sprague-Dawley rats were applied to establish acute myocardial infarction models by ligating the anterior descending branch of the left coronary artery. After the model was determined by electrocardiogram successful y, NSF-siRNA adenovirus (experimental group), negative adenovirus (control group) and normal saline (normal saline group) were injected near the infarct area of the left ventricle of rats respectively. After 2 weeks, the left ventricular ejection fraction (LVEF) was tested with noninvasive ultrasonic cardiogram. Meanwhile, the left ventricular end-diastolic pressure (LVEDP) and maximum pressure rising speed of left ventricular (dp/dt max) were detected by connecting the right external carotid artery place pipe to the BL-420 biological function experiment system, to evaluate the cardiac function. Subsequently, the rat heart was harvested for serial sections to observe the infarcts range.

Aim To explore the mechanisms of action (MOA) of synergistic anticancer function in the combination of berberine and evodiamine.Methods We first analyzed the action of suppression in the drug combination from the cell level and validated the dose scope as well as ratio of concentration in synergistic effects of drug combination.Then, the miRNA chip of liver cancer cell BEL-7402 under different treatment was analyzed.By building the miRNA-mRNA network, the MOA of the synergistic drug combination was illustrated.Results Berberine and evodiamine used in combination could significantly synergistically suppress the proliferative ability of liver cancer cells.The special differentially expressed miRNAs (DEmiRNAs) mainly participated in some cancer proliferation-related pathways and biological processes, such as MAPK signaling pathway, endocytosis pathway and insulin signaling pathway.The special target genes influenced by the drug combination not only covered three kinds of membrane receptors, but also took part in the regulation of downstream pathways.Conclusions From the regulation of miRNAs, it is clear that berberine may play a primary role in the synergistical suppression activity of the drug combination in cancer cells.The discovery of synergistic MOA in the combination of berberine and evodiamine from the miRNA level will provide a new guidance to explore more synergistic drug combinations in the future.

Objective: To explore the relationship between air pollutants and pediatric outpatient volumes in Baoshan District, Shanghai Municipality. Methods: Data of meteorological factors, air pollutants and pediatric outpatient volumes in four general hospitals were collected in Baoshan District from 2015 to 2019, and a generalized additive model was used to fit the Poisson-like distribution. The exposure-response relationship between fine particulate matter (PM2.5), sulfur dioxide (SO2), nitrogen dioxide (NO2), ozone (O3) and total pediatric outpatient volumes and pediatric respiratory outpatients. Results: The median of the average daily temperature and relative humidity were 18.7 (interquartile range, 14.4) ℃ and 74.5% (interquartile range, 18.0%) in Baoshan District from 2015 to 2019, respectively. The median of the average daily concentrations of PM2.5, SO2, NO2 and O3 were 35.0 (interquartile range, 35.0), 11.0 (interquartile range, 7.0), 45.0 (interquartile range, 31.8) and 84.5 (interquartile range, 50.0) μg/m3, respectively. The median of the average daily total and respiratory pediatric outpatient volumes were 680 (interquartile range, 246) and 392 (interquartile range, 253). Spearman rank correlation analysis showed that temperature, relative humidity, PM2.5, SO2, NO2 and O3 were associated with total and respiratory pediatric outpatient volume (all P<0.05). Under the single pollutant model, the excess risk of total and respiratory pediatric outpatient volume due to PM2.5 (ER=0.318, 0.257), SO2 (ER=1.610, 2.546), and NO2 (ER=0.808, 0.839) reached the maximum effect on the same day, and the effect of O3 (ER=0.102, 0.222) reached its maximum at the first day of lag. Under the multi-pollutant model, after O3, SO2, NO2 and PM2.5 were introduced, a exposure-response relationship between air pollutants and total pediatric outpatient volumes was the largest on the sixth day after the lag (ER=0.419). There was no exposure-response relationship between air pollutants and respiratory pediatric outpatient volumes. Conclusion PM2.5, SO2, NO2 and O3 are associated with total and respiratory pediatric outpatient volumes, and the lag effects due to different air pollutants are different.
