ABSTRACT
Objective: To investigate the impact for family history of hypertension on masked hypertension (MH) morbidity with relevant cardiac damage. Methods: Our research included in 3 groups: MH group, n=250 consecutive patients treated in our hospital from 2010-01 to 2015-04, Hypertension group, n=250 and Control group, n=250 subjects with normal blood pressure. The family history of hypertension, general clinical information, routine biochemical indexes and the findings of echocardiography were studied and compared among different groups. Results: ① There were 70 (28%) patients with family history of hypertension in MH group, 87 (34.8%) in Hypertension group and 26 (10.4%) in Control group. The ratio of family history of hypertension in MH group was higher than Control group, P0.05. Logistic regression analysis presented that family history of hypertension and body mass index were positively related to the morbidities of MH (r=1.468, r=0.173) and hypertension (r=1.195, r=0.086). ② Compared with Control group, MH group had increased left ventricular mass index (85.64 ± 17.7) g/m2 vs (80.50 ± 15.53) g/m2 and the maximum blood flow velocity of aortic valve (115.74 ± 16.54) cm/s vs (112.40±14.21) cm/s, all P<0.05. In MH group, compared with those without family history of hypertension, the patients with family history had the higher left ventricular mass index (89.22 ± 19.08) g/m2 vs (84.25 ± 16.99) g/m2 and the maximum blood flow velocity of aortic valve (119.19 ± 14.97) g/m2 vs (114.39 ± 16.96) g/m2, all P<0.05.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:The induced concentration for osteoblasts is often introduced as reference to induce odontoblast differentiation. However, there are no reports on other concentrations. OBJECTIVE: To observe the expression of dentin matrix protein-1, dentin sialoprotein and matrix extracelular phosphoglycoprotein during low-dose β-glycerophosphate-induced differentiation of dental pulp stem cels into odontoblasts. METHODS:Human dental pulp stem cels were isolated and cultured, and then induced by different concentrations of inducing solution to differentiate into adipocytes and osteoblasts, which could verify the multi-directional differentiation ability of human dental pulp stem cels. Under 5 mmol/L β-glycerophosphate, dental pulp stem cels differentiated into odontoblasts. At 7, 14, 21, 28 days of culture, RNA samples were extracted from dental pulp stem cels in each group, and reverse-transcription PCR was used to detect the expression of dentin matrix protein-1, dentin sialoprotein and matrix extracelular phosphoglycoprotein. Mineralized nodules were detected by alizarin red S staining to show the successfuly osteogenesis induction. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Human dental pulp stem cels could be induced to adipocytes and osteoblasts. The results of reverse-transcription PCR showed that the dental pulp stem cels under 5 mmol/L β-glycerophosphate could increase the expression of dentin matrix protein-1 and dentin sialoprotein, but downregulate the expression of matrix extracelular phosphoglycoprotein at 7, 14, 21 days. At 28 days of culture, dental pulp stem cels were al successfuly mineralized detected by alizarin red S. There were some red mineralized nodules. These findings indicate that the 5 mmol/L β-glycerophosphate can induce the differentiation of dental pulp stem cels into odontoblasts successfuly, up-regulate the mRNA expression of dentin sialoprotein and dentin matrix protein-1, and meanwhile down-regulate the mRNA expression of matrix extracelular phosphoglycoprotein.

ABSTRACT
Objective To observe the glucose utilization in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle during catch-up growth, and to explore the mechanism of catch-up growth of adipose tissue. Methods Male Wistar rats were randomly divide into normal control group(NC)and catch-up group(RN). Rats in RN group received 50%of food consumed by NC group for 4 weeks, then were re-fed spontaneously as the rats in NC group. In the end of the fifth week(NC1 group and RN1 group)and the sixth week(NC2 group and RN2 group), the experiment was performed. [3]-2-deoxy-glucose was used for detecting the glucose uptake rate. RT-PCR and Western-blot were used for detecting the levels of mRNA and membrane protein of glucose transporter-4(Glut4). Results The glucose uptake rates in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle of RN1 group increased by 189.6%(P<0.01)and reduced by 36.5%(P<0.05)respectively, as compared with NC1 group. After 2 weeks of catch-up growth, the glucose uptake rates in adipose tissue of RN2 group increased by 157.3%(P<0.01)and decreased by 41.5%(P<0.05) in skeletal muscle as compared with NC2 group. However. no significant difference in Glut4 mRNA levels in muscle or in adipose tissue between NC and RN groups were found. The membrane protein of GIut4 after insulin-stimulating in RN1 group and RN2 group reduced by about 46.5%(P<0.01)and 32.1%(P<0.05)in muscle and increased by 116.5%(P<0.01)and 89.9%(P<0.01)in adipose tissue respectively. Conclusion There exists the redistribution of glucose from skeletal muscle to adipose tissue during the early stage of catch-up growth, which results in the catch-up growth of adipose tissue. This change is induced by the tissue-specific alteration of insulin-stimulated Glut4 protein translocation.
ABSTRACT
To investigate feasibility and effect of schizophrenia treatment by stereotactic lesioning, CRW stereotactic apparatus and PICKER spiral CT were used to define nucleus location and RADONICS radiofrequency instruments were used to lesion different subnucleuses of amygdala and the front part of callosal gyrus. All schizophrenic patients were diagnosed by ICD Ⅲ standards, In cases with one year followup ,the effect were analysed with Global Improvement (GI) scoring. In this group , 21 cases were significantly improved , 8 cases improved, 3 cases slightly improved, 1 case unchanged, and 0 case deteriorated. These results suggest selective lesioning subnucleus of amygdala according to different symptoms of schizophrenia could improve the curative effect of surgical treatment for schizophrenia.
