Objective:To investigate the arterial blood pressure levels of fighter pilots and to analyze the risk factors associated with blood pressure in fighter pilots.Methods:A retrospective analysis was conducted on the physical examination data and questionnaire data of the fighter pilots who underwent aeromedical assessment at Air Force Healthcare Center for Special Services Hangzhou. They were divided into hypertension group [SBP≥140 mmHg (1 mmHg=0.133 kPa) and (or) DBP≥90 mmHg], normal high blood pressure group [120 mmHg≤SBP<140 mmHg and (or) 80 mmHg≤DBP<90 mmHg] and normal blood pressure group (SBP<120 mmHg and DBP<80 mmHg) according to the blood pressure level. The differences of physiological and biochemical indicators among the pilots of 3 groups were compared, and the risk factors affecting blood pressure were analyzed by multiple Logistic regression.Results:A total of 414 fighter pilots were included, with 9 (2.17%) in the hypertension group, 274 (66.18%) in the normal high blood pressure group, and 131 (31.64%) in the normal blood pressure group. There were significant differences in age, flying hours, body mass index, waist circumference, fasting plasma glucose, total cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and blood uric acid among the pilots of different blood pressure groups ( F=2.97-11.08, all P<0.05), but no significant difference in HDL-C ( P>0.05). The risk factors for increased the blood pressure of fighter pilots included alcohol consumption ( OR=9.865, P=0.021), salt consumption ( OR=8.971, P=0.033), blood uric acid ( OR=1.013, P=0.046), BMI ( OR=1.431, P=0.001) and waist circumference ( OR=1.340, P=0.039). The protective factor was the consumption of vegetables and fruits ( OR=0.623, P=0.033). Conclusions:High sodium diet, overweight or obesity, excessive alcohol consumption, increased blood uric acid and low consumption of vegetables and fruits may be the risk factors result in high blood pressure of fighter pilots.

The fingerprint of Boenninghausenia albiflora var. albiflora was established by ultra performance liquid chromatography(UPLC), and the content of 12 active components including chlorogenic acid was determined. Multivariate statistical analysis was used to explore the indicator components of B. albiflora var. albiflora and a comprehensive evaluation system was created for the quality of B. albiflora var. albiflora. In this study, 33 batches of B. albiflora var. albiflora with different sources were collected and studied, and the UPLC fingerprint of B. albiflora var. albiflora was developed. There were 37 common peaks, of which 12 components were identified, and the content of these 12 components was measured. In combination of the common peaks and the content of chemical components, multivariate statistical analysis was performed, and the results showed that 6 components [daphnoretin, isoimperatorin, astragalin, imperatorin, neochlorogenic acid, and isoquercitrin(weight coefficient>0.1)] were selected as chemical markers for the quality of B. albiflora var. albiflora. Technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution(TOPSIS) analysis and chemometrics revealed that the quality of S32, S28 and S29 were superior, while that of S12, S7 and S16 were inferior. The quality evaluation method of B. albiflora var. albiflora constructed in this study was accurate and reliable, with simpleness and easiness to operate. It is suggested that the 6 above-mentioned active components could be used as indicator components for quality control of B. albiflora var. al-biflora. The samples were harvested during the flowering and fruiting period, which is from the beginning of July to the end of August.

Objective:To explore the antidepressant mechanism of Yinxing Mihuan oral solution （YMO） by investigating its effect on depression model rats. Method:The depression rats were induced by isolation combined with chronic unpredictable mild stress （CUMS） and then randomly divided into model group， fluoxetine group （10 mg·kg^-1） and high-dose （618 mg·kg^-1） and low-dose （309 mg·kg^-1） YMO groups. A blank control group was also set up and ten rats were included in each group. Modeling lasted for 21 consecutive days， and rats were administered the 8th day after stimulation at a dose of 10 mL·kg^-1 for 14 days， except those in the blank control and model groups which were given distilled water. Afterward， the sucrose preference test， open field test， tail suspension test were carried out. The pathological changes of hippocampus in depression rats were observed after hematoxylin-eosin （HE） staining. The content of interleukin-1β （IL-1β）， interleukin-6 （IL-6） and tumor necrosis factor-α （TNF-α） in the hippocampus of rats in each group and the expression of NOD-like receptor 3 （NLRP3） and other proteins in its related activation signaling pathways were detected with multi-factor detection （Luminex） and Western blot. Result:After 14 days of continuous administration， compared with the blank control group， the model group witnessed significantly reduced sugar water consumption rate and the times of rearing and significantly prolonged cumulative time of immobility during tail suspension （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Compared with the model group， the fluoxetine group and the high-dose YMO group saw increases in the times of rearing， times of crossing and sugar water consumption rate and a significant decrease in the cumulative time of immobility during tail suspension （P<0.05， P<0.01）. The results of HE staining showed that the neurons in the hippocampus of rats in the high-dose YMO group were arranged in order and slightly loosened， without obvious microglia infiltration observed. The levels of IL-1β， IL-6 and TNF-α in the hippocampus of the model group increased significantly as compared with the blank control group （P<0.05， P<0.01）， and their content in the high-dose YMO group was significantly lowered in the comparison with the model group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Molecular biology experiments demonstrated that compared with the results of blank group， the expression of purinergic receptor P2X7 （P2RX7）， NLRP3， apoptosis-associated speck-like protein （ASC）， Caspase-1 and IL-1β remarkably increased in the model group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Additionally， the expression of P2RX7， NLRP3， ASC， Caspase-1 and IL-1β was significantly inhibited in the fluoxetine group and the high-dose YMO group compared with the model group （P<0.05， P<0.01）. Conclusion:YMO can improve the depression-like behaviors of rats induced by isolation combined with CUMS， and its mechanism of action is related to the regulation of the P2RX7/NLRP3 signaling pathway.

Objective To explore the effectiveness of impulse oscillometry(IOS)in airway responsiveness measurement and to find out the positive threshold of IOS for asthma diagnosis. Methods Seventy-nine children aged 6-14 years who had suspicious asthma,were recruited into the study. The positive criteria of the methacholine bron-chial provocation test was a 20％ reduction in forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV 1 )compared to base-line. Simultaneously measured changes in various parameters of IOS,including resonant frequency(Fres),impedance at 5 Hz(Zrs),resistances at 5 and 20 Hz(R5,R20),reactance at 5 Hz(X5),and area of reactance(AX). The results of the challenge test were divided into positive and negative groups according to the pulmonary ventilation function me-thod. The differences between the 2 groups of IOS parameters before and after the challenge test,and the correlation be-tween the change rate of FEV1 and the change rate of IOS parameters were compared,and the positive judgment criteria of IOS parameters in the determination of respiratory responsiveness were determined. Results The positive group of bronchial provocation test had 37 patients and negative group had 42 patients. There was no significant difference in the basic values of parameters between the positive group and the negative group (all P > 0. 05). Changes in Zrs,R5,X5 of IOS were correlated with changes in FEV1 (r = 0. 374,0. 310,0. 449,all P < 0. 05). By single factor analysis,the area under the receiver operating characteristic(ROC)carve (AUC)showed:basic value of Zrs increased by 45. 85％,R5 increased by 45. 72％,X5 increased by 80. 74％ respectively compared to the baseline showed the optimal combination of sensitivity and specificity. In multivariate Logistic regression models,when Zrs and R5 were combined to measure the airway responsiveness,the sensitivity and specificity were 73. 0％ and 81. 0％,respectively. Conclusions IOS and spirometry can be used to determine airway responsiveness in children during methacholine bronchial challenge. Zrs≥45. 85％,or R5≥45. 72％,or X5≥80. 74％,or Zrs and R5 of multiple regression formula can be used as the positive criteria for young children with airway heperresponsiveness,the combination of Zrs and R5 has higher sensitivity and specificity.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of up-regulated expression of tumor suppressor gene p14(ARF) on apoptosis of chronic myeloid leukemia (CML) cells and its interaction with imatinib.

METHODSTumor suppressor gene p14(ARF) was transduced into K562 (K562-p14(ARF)) and 4 blast crisis primary CML cells (CML-BC 1-4) using vesicular stomatitis virus glycoprotein (VSV-G) pseudotyped lentiviral vector with cells transduced by empty vector as control. Fluorescence microscopy and flow cytometry were applied to measure transduction efficiency, and Western blotting assay was used to detect p14(ARF) protein of K562 cells. WST-8 method was used to determine cell growth inhibition rate of K562 cells transduced by the target gene under different concentrations of imatinib (0, 0.015, 0.062, 0.125, 0.25, 0.5, 1.0, 2.0 μmol/L). Cell apoptosis and leukemic cellular colony-forming ability were detected by Annexin V-FITC/PI dyeing using flow cytometry (FCM) and semi-solid culture method respectively.

RESULTSFluorescence microscopy and FCM showed that transduction efficiency (GFP positive cells) of K562-p14(ARF), K562-VSV and CML-BC1 cells were close to 100%, and CML-BC 2-4 cells were 80% to 90% on average. Results of Western blotting showed that the levels of ARF protein expression of K562 cells transduced by p14(ARF) were significantly higher than of untransduced cells; the apoptosis rate of K562-p14(ARF) was 20%; the mean apoptosis rate of 4 primary leukemic cells transduced by the p14(ARF) [(71.1±22.4)%] was significantly higher than of control group [(12.4±6.2)%] (P<0.05). Imatinib significantly inhibited the proliferation of K562-p14(ARF) cells in a dose-dependent manner. The mean leukemic cellular colony-forming unit of 4 primary leukemic cells transduced by the p14(ARF) (41.5±13.2) was significantly lower than of the control group (88.5±7.9) (P<0.05).

CONCLUSIONIncreased p14(ARF) gene expression could induce apoptosis of CML cells; Moreover, it could enhance inhibitory effect on cell proliferation when combined with imatinib.
