Objective To study the effect of continuous positive airway pressure(CPAP) therapy for 56 clinical cases neonatal a-cute respiration prostration. Methods Based on the traditional treatment,CPAP assistant therapy were taken on 56 cases. The pressure of CAPA were adjusted according to the variations of clinical condition and blood gas value. Results After 6 - hour assistance of CPAP performance, the symptom of all cases had been abated, pa (O2) was increased, the normal CPAP applaying time was 28 hoours. The remarkable difference had been found compared to those in no CPAP practice(P

Objective: To establish a two-dimensional electrophoresis (2-DE) gel map of 2 early-stage lung adenocarcinoma tissues with and without RASSF1A expression, so as to screen and identify differential proteins. Methods: Five early-stage lung adenocarcinoma tissues with RASSF1A expression and 5 without RASSF1A expression were screened out by Western blotting assay. The total soluble proteins of the tissue were extracted and were separated by immobilized pH gradient based two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to set up the 2-DE gel map of the 2 adenocarcinoma tissues. The differentially-expressed proteins were analyzed by PDQuest image analysis software and identified by matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS); the protein database was searched to further characterized the differential proteins. Results: A well-reproducible 2-DE gel map of the 2 adenocarcinoma tissues with and without RASSF1A expression was established and 17 differential protein spots were screened out. Nine of 17 differential protein spots were selected for MALDI-TOF-MS study and satisfactory peptide mass fingerprints were obtained for all the 9 spots. Searching of the protein database revealed 5 candidate proteins and they were: cytochrome b5, 60S acidic ribosomal protein P2, carbonic anhydrase 1, pyrroline-5-carboxylate reductase 1, and apolipoprotein A-I precursor. Conclusion: We have successfully obtained the 2-DE gel images of 2 early-stage lung adenocarcinoma tissues with and without RASSF1A expression, and from which we have identified 5 differential proteins, which paves a way for studying the signal transduction pathways involving RASSF1A.

The currently unfavorable physician - patient relationship has lead to a total loss of interests from multiple sides of hospitals,patients,medical staff,medical education and the society,which specifies in the wellbeing loss of patients and the whole population.The social stability has also been affected.The health care reform should aim to minimize the conflicts between doctors and patients,thus the above mentioned losses will be diminished and a harmonious physician - patient relationship will be built up and the win - win pattern of benefits between doctors and patients will also be realized.Multiple efforts from the government,society,hospitals,medical staff,and patients are all needed to achieve such a goal.

Objective To observe the learning and memory changes in coal-burning type of fluorosis rats, detect the expressions of neuronal nicotinic acetylcholine receptor(nAChR) at mRNA and protein levels in rat brains and to reveal the mechanism of changed learning and memory ability. Methods Twenty-four healthy SD rats, weighting 100 - 120 g, were randomly divided into three groups(8 in each). Control group was fed with normal diet, and low- and high-dose fluoride groups were fed with corn polluted with high fluoride (fluoride were 11.30,104.20 mg/kg, respectively) during drying processes with local burning-coal from the areas of endemic fluorosis to established rat model of chronic fluorosis. After exposed to fluoride for 6 months, behavioral changes were measured by Morris water maze. Animals were sacrificed, the brain was taken, after homogenizing the fluoride content of brain tissue was determined by fluoride ion selective electrode. The α3, α4 and α7 nAChR subunits at mRNA and protein levels were analyzed by real-time PCR and Western blotting, respectively. Results For rats in low- and high-fluoride groups, the escape latency time[(12.42 ± 8.03),(17.48 ± 8.05)s] was significantly longer than that in the control[(7.04 ± 3.29)s, all P< 0.05]. For rats in high-fluoride group, the numbers of crossing the platforms (1.62 ± 0.87) and the time of staying at the platforms[(16.70 ± 5.02)s] were significantly decreased as compared to that of control[3.53 ± 1.67, (23.33 ± 5.35)s, all P < 0.05]. The fluoride content in rat brain tissue in low- or high-fluoride groups [(1.14 ± 0.04), (1.79 ± 0.04)mg/kg] was significantly higher than that of control [ (0.52 ± 0.05) mg/kg, all P < 0.05]; in addition, the amount of fluoride in brain tissue of high-fluoride group was significantly higher than that of low-fluoride group(P < 0.05). In high-fluoride group, the mRNA expressions of α3, α4 and α7 nAChR subunits in rat brains(1.51 ± 0.20,1.45 ± 0.06,1.63 ± 0.08) were significantly lower as compared to controls (1.79 ± 0.11,1.66 ± 0.14,1.83 ± 0.06, all P< 0.05); whereas there were no significant changes in mRNA levels of these receptor subunits of the rat brains between low-fluoride group(1.65 ± 0.17,1.59 ± 0.09,1.71 ± 0.03) and controls (all P > 0.05). Furthermore, the protein levels of α3, α4 and α7 nAChR subunits in rat brains of highfluoride group(0.58 ± 0.13,0.16 ± 0.03,1.41 ± 0.38) and low-fluoride group(0.56 ± 0.23,0.08 ± 0.02,0.51 ± 0.16) were significantly lower than those of controls( 1.48 ± 0.42,0.57 ± 0.21,2.56 ± 0.26, P<0.05 or < 0.01). Conclusions Decreased ability of learning and memory in coal-burning type of fluorosis rats may be associated with declined expressions of nAChR at proteins and mRNA levels, which might be the main mechanism of the behavior change.
