Environmental physiological method adopted, the ergonomic experiment is to seek the best parameter of the protective hood structural size, on which the structure design of the protective hood will be based, through the analysis of the organic relationship between the microenvironment of power air-purifying medical protective hood and the body's physiological characteristics. The changes of such indexes due to different air currents are analyzed as the oxygen, carbon dioxide, temperature and humidity in the microenvironment. The changes of testees' physiological parameters and their responses to psychological loads and body strengths are paid attention to. The results show the hood can meet the testees' demands with proper air current.

Notoginseng Radix et Rhizoma (Sanqi), the underground part of Panax notoginseng (Burk.) F. H. Chen (Araliaceae) is commonly used in Chinese medicine for treatment of haemorrhage, haemostasis, swelling, etc. The aerial part including leaves, flowers and fruits are also applied for similar functions. Triterpenoid saponins are considered to be responsible for the biological activities of Sanqi. Up to date, more than 100 saponins have been isolated from theroots, rhizomes, leaves, flowers and fruits of P. notoginseng. The reported saponins can be classified into protopanaxadiol (PPD), protopanaxatriol (PPT), C17 side-chain varied and other types, according to the skeletons of the aglycons. The present review summarizes the saponins isolated from P. notoginseng and their distribution in different medicinal organs, as well as the pharmacological actions on cardiovascular system.

Objective Using zebrafish to analyze the effect of water temperature on the recovery of spinal cord in-jury. To detect the cell proliferation and changes of gene expression at the injury site during the process of recovery. Meth-ods Surgical operation was performed to induce spinal cord injury ( SCI) on adult fish. Water at a series of temperature was applied to culture the fish. Swimming ability was adopted to observe the recovery of spinal cord injury following surger?y. Vibration sections and immunohistochemistry were performed to observe the cell number post SCI at different stages. The changes of gdnf and nos gene expression were determined by real?time PCR. Results The water temperature changes from 28℃ to 32℃ did not affect the swimming ability of non?injured and sham?injured fish ( P>0. 05 ) . The swimming ability recovered mostly in 8 weeks post spinal cord injury. At 32℃, the swimming ability recovered faster than at 28℃ or at 30℃(P<0. 05). The cell proliferation increased obviously following spinal cord injury (P<0. 05). The proliferation of cells surrounding the spinal cord in jury was more extensive in SCI fishes incubated in 32℃ water than in 28℃ or 30℃ water ( P<0. 05). Real?time PCR assay showed that gdnf was up?regulated in all groups post SCI at 24 h, and 7 and 14 days (P<0. 05). The nos expression was up?regulated in all groups following SCI in 24 h (P<0. 05) and 7 days. There was no sig?nificant difference between the SCI group and sham?injury group (P<0. 05), while after 14 days, the expression of nos was reduced in the SCI group compared with the sham?injury group (P<0. 05). Conclusions A slight increase of incu?bating water temperature can accelerate the recovery of spinal cord injury in zebrafish.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of intrathecal injection of TRPV3-siRNA lentivirus on bone cancer pain(BCP) behaviors in rats.Methods40 female SD rats successfully received intrathecal catheter implantation and without motor dysfunction were randomly divided into 4 groups (n=10 in each group):Sham group (S),BCP group (B),negative control lentivirus group (C) and TRPV3-siRNA lentivirus group (T).Group B,C and T were induced bone cancer pain by intra-right-femur inoculation of Wallker 256 cells,while rats in group S were injected of inactivated cell.Rats in group T were intrathecally treated with 5 μl TRPV3-siRNA lentivirus while rats in group C received 5 μl negative lentivirus on 1~6 d after surgery.All the rats received pain behaviors including paw withdrawal thermal latency(PWTL) and paw withdrawal mechanical threshold (PWMT) at 1 d before BCP and 1,3,6,9,12,15,18 and 21 d after BCP.L4~L6 spinal cords were reserved for RT-PCR and Western Blot.ResultsCompared with group S,PWTL and PWMT of group B were decreased (P<0.05).On the 9th day,PWTL of group T was higher than that of group C((17.52±2.15)s vs (14.36±1.67)s,P<0.05).However,there was no significant difference in PWMT between group T and group C((16.89±1.54)g vs (15.53±1.36)g,P>0.05).The results of RT-PCR and Western blot demonstrated that the expression of TPPV3 in group T was decreased compared with that in group C(P<0.05).ConclusionIntrathecal injection of TRPV3-siRNA lentivirus can inhibit the expression of TRPV3 and thus alleviate symptom of PWTL,but not PWMT.

AIM:To analyse sequences of p62dok amino acid and cDNA and to investigate p62dok tyrosine phosphorylation and its relation with p21ras GAP. METHODS:The purified p62dok was extracted from CHO/IR cells. The peptide sequence of p62dok was carried out on a high performance analyzer. PCR was performed with the primers designed from the sequence of p62dok amino acid. Western blot and immunoprecipitation were used to identify tyrosine phosphorylation of p62dok and the binding of p62dok with p21ras GAP. RESULTS:The p62dok cDNA is a 1863 bp sequence and code 481 amino acid with 15 tyrosine residues and a putative pleckstrin homology domain. The p62dok protein is rich in PxxP motif. The tyrosine-phosphorylated p62dok can bind p21ras GAP. CONCLUSION:Perhaps p62dok is a new signaling molecule and play an important role in insulin signaling networks through RAS/MAPK pathway.

ObjectiveTo summarize the clinical features of ulcerative eolitis (UC) complicated by toxic megacolon for early diagnosis and proper treatment. MethodsSix cases of toxic megacolon in the patients suffered from UC in Peking Union Medical College Hospital from 1983 to 2010 were analyzed,and related literature was searched and reviewed.ResultsThe incidence of the toxic megacolon in the patients with UC in our center was 0.7% (6/824),which was lower than those reported in the literature.There were always risk factors triggering the disease.The prognosis of the patients was poor,even after medical care and surgery intervention.Evaluation of the patients and making right timing to perform the surgery would improve the prognosis of the patients in foreign literature. ConclusionIt's crucial to make early diagnosis of the toxic megacolon in the patients suffered from UC. The right choice and timing to perform urgent surgery or selective surgery may improve their prognosis.

AIM: To explore the effects of selenium-enriched Spirulina platensis (Se-SP) on proliferation of hepatocytes in rat hepatectomy. METHODS: Rat hepaectomy model was conducted using male Wistar rats. The rats were randomized into five groups: operation groups with 150 (H), 50 (M) and 15 (L) mg?kg-1?d-1 of Se-SP, placebo-control (P) and sham operation group (F). Activities of glutathione peroxidase (GPx) and thioredoxin reductases (TR) in hepatocytes were determined by chemical colorimetry. The expression index of proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) in hepatocytes was detected by immunohistochemistry, and the level of [3H]-TDR incorporation in regenerative hepatocytes was analyzed by radio-immunity. RESULTS: Activity of GPx and TR, PCNA expression index as well as [3H]-TDR insertion in hepatocytes (in vitro) were obviously higher (P
