Jinyingzi is the dry ripe fruit of Rosa leav gata Michx.. It contains mainly tannic acid, malic acid, citric acid, vitamin C and saponins. Its effect on urinary sy stem was studied on mouse Pollakiuria model by severing hypogastric nerve. Results showed that the water extract of R. laevigata can decrease the frequency and prolong the interval of urination and increase the quantity of eacn urination. The said extract can inhibit the automatic contraction of isolated rabbit jejunal smooth muscle and antagonize the spasmodic contraction arouscd by acetylcholine and barium chloride of isolated rabbit jejunal smoothmusele, and isolated vesical smooth muscle of mouse, and antagonize reaction of contractility aroused by noradrenalin on isolated thoracic aorta strips of rabbit. All of the the three inhibitions of smooth muscle contraction showed signicant dose-response curve.

This article introduced the practice of emergency personnel cultivation according to order form based on the cooperation between Cang Zhou Medical College and the Beijing Red Cross emergency rescue center. The implementation process: First, we tried and built cooperative relation with the enterprises and public institutions which had strong cooperative intention, high demand and advanced techniques by field investigation. Second, we signed order training agreement, made clear the rights and obligations of both sides. Then, we selected the best students and formed the ordered class. Both sides organized the professional construction committee together. After much argument we thrashed practical talent training projects and professional development plans and implemented them strictly. We also built up a high quality team which involved full-time teachers as well as part-time teachers with balanced age and education. Besides, we adopted two plus one training pattern and em-ployed the best (the rate of employment beyond 80%). Thus, the win-win situation of students, schools and hospitals was realized.

Objective To investigate the changes of serum angiopoietin-like protein 3 (Angptl3) and adiponectin levels in patients with metabolic syndrome (MS) in order to understand their association with the MS. Methods Serum Angptl3 and adiponectin levels were measured by sandwich ELISA in a group of 111 patients with MS and 152 normal controls. Results Serum adiponectin was lower in the MS patients than in the control subjects [4.22(1.01-23.29) μg/mL vs. 5.41(0.97-22.27) μg/mL, P<0.05]. With regard to serum Angptl3, there was no significant difference between the 2 groups(P>0.05). Serum adiponectin was correlated to Angptl3 and high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C)(P<0.001) and negatively correlated to body mass index (BMI), waist circumference (WC), waist to hip ratio (WHR), triglyceride (TG), fasting plasma glucose (FBG), fasting insulin (FINS) and homeostatic model assessment method-insulin resistance (HOMA-IR) (P<0.001). Serum Angptl3 was positively correlated with adiponectin (P<0.001). Serum adiponectin was found to be independently positive determinant for Angptl3 concentrations (b′=0.256, P<0.001). Adiponectin was inversely correlated with TG and HOMA-IR (b′=-0.234, -0.145, P<0.001). Conclusion Adiponectin is decreased in MS patients and may be correlated to Angptl3.

OBJECTIVE Infection control(IC) is one of the most important issues involved in the administration of modern hospitals in the world.The aim of this survey is to analyze the necessities to set up some courses on IC for undergraduates during their 5-year studying.METHODS In this study,71 academic staffs in Guanghua School of Stomatology and 74 fourth and fifth year undergraduates were surveyed by questionnaires about the necessities and knowledge of IC.RESULTS The finding showed that both academic staffs and students did not have well-educated knowledge of infection control,and they all agreed with an importance of IC course in college education system.CONCLUSIONS Setting-up an infection control course may be essential as an elemental education course in college.

Objective To investigate the effect of anti-sense osteopontin(ANOPN)on proliferation and metastasis of esophagus cancer cells.Methods An OPN gene recombinant expression vector plasmid was constructed by RT-PCR from human umbilical vein endothelial cell gene and cloned into a mammalian expression vector pcDNA3.1(+).PcDNA3.1-ANOPN was introduced by LipofectinTM.Positive cell clones(ECA-ANOPN),vector-transfected cells ECA-vect and blank cell ECA were used as three groups.RT-PCR and immunocytochemistry assay were used to investigate the expressions of OPN mRNA and protein.The metastasis characteristics of cells were studied by Transwell method.Results The vector was constructed successfully,the sequencing result was identical with that reported in GenBank.Compared with vector-transfected cells(ECA-vect cells) and ECA cells,the growth rate of ECA-ANOPN cells was significantly slowed(P

Objective To study the effects caused by novel antipsychotics quetiapine and aripiprazole on concentrations of platelet 5-HT in patients with schizophrenia,and to explore the relationships among the change of platelet 5-HT concentrations, psychiatric symptoms and the sensitivity of therapy. Methods Sixty-eight patients with schizophrenia meeting International Classification of Diseases-10 (ICD-10) were enrolled in the study. They were divided into quetiapine group(n=34) and aripiprazole group(n=34) according to the sequence of admis-sion. The platelet 5-HT concentrations were measured with high performance liquid chromatography method(HPLC-ECD). The positive and negative syndrome scale (PANSS) was used to evaluate the psychopathology. Treatment emergent symptom scale (TESS) was used to evaluate the side effects. PANSS,TESS were used at pre-treatment,the end of 4th and 8th week of treatment. Results The platelet 5-HT concentrations in two groups were higher af-ter 8 weeks treatment,but had no statistically significant difference (P>0.05). In quetiapine group, the platelet 5-HT concentration was (458.89±233.36) ng/10~9 at the pre-treatment, and (554.31±313.22) ng/10~9 at the end of treatment (t=1.709, P=0.099). In aripiprazole group, the platelet 5-HT concentration was (409.83±149.32)ng/10~9 at the pretreatment, and (421.27±245.96)ng/10~9 at the end of treatment (t=0.321, P=0.819). There was no difference between two groups(P>0.05). Stepwise regression analysis showed the changing rate of platelet 5-HT concentrations was positively correlated with the dosage of quetiapine (r=0.385, P=0.039).It was positively correlated with the decreasing rate of PANSS in aripiprazole group(r=0.391, P=0.040). Con-dusion The changes of psychiatric symptoms and the dosages of antipsychotics maybe have intimate relationships with platelet 5-HT concentrations in the course of medication.

Objective To assess subclinical left ventricular systolic and diastolic function in normotensive latent autoimmune diabetes in adult (LADA) patients with normal ejection fraction and fractional shortening by velocity vector imaging (VVI) . Methods Digital dynamic imaging of 60 normotensive LADA patients and another 60 healthy subjects were collected. The longitudinal velocity, strain, and strain rate were measured in systolic, early and later diastolic period respectively and the peak time of velocity, strain, and strain rate were recorded. The parameters were analyzed. Results Compared with the control group, all of the measured parameters of LADA patients were significantly lower (P < 0. 01), except the later diastolic strain (P > 0. 05) . The peak time of myo-cardial longitudinal velocity, strain and strain rate was lengthened compared with the control group, but without statistical significance (P > 0. 05). Conclusion VVI is a novel and noninvasive tool to quantitatively and objectively assess left ventricular regional systolic and diastolic function in the LADA patients. It can make trustworthy early diagnose of abnormal left ventricle myocardial performance in patients with subclinical LADA.
