ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND:Bioactive glass bone repair material has bone-bonding ability,bone induction ability and bone conduction characteristics.However,the performance of bioactive glass does not meet the requirements of clinical application,and the addition of boron is expected to improve the performance of bioactive glass. OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of different contents of B2O3 replacing SiO2 on the mechanical properties and bioactivity of bioactive glass. METHODS:Based on bioactive glass containing phosphorus nitrogen and oxygen(composition:SiO2-CaO-ZnO-Na2O-Si3N4-P2O5),B2O3 was used to partially replace the SiO2.The basic glass containing B2O3 with a mass fraction of 0%(group A),5%(group B),10%(group C),and 15%(group D)was fired using the high-temperature melting method(the total mass fraction of SiO2 and B2O3 in the basic broken glass was 41%).Porous bioactive glass scaffolds were fabricated by the organic foam impregnation method.Uniaxial compression and three-point bending method of universal mechanical testing machine were used to test mechanical properties.Four groups of scaffolds were immersed in simulated body fluids to detect the degradation performance of scaffolds.Scanning electron microscopy was used to observe the morphological changes of scaffolds before and after soaking.X-ray diffraction was used to analyze the phase composition of scaffolds before and after soaking. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1)With the increase of the mass fraction of B2O3,the compressive strength and bending strength of the porous bioactive glass scaffold increased,and there was a significant difference between the compressive strength and bending strength of the four groups(P≤0.05).(2)After soaking in simulated body fluids,the porous bioactive glass scaffolds degraded gradually with the extension of time.At the same soaking time point,the degradation rate of the scaffolds was accelerated with the increase of the mass fraction of B2O3,and the compressive strength and bending strength of the scaffolds in the four groups were significantly different(P≤0.05).(3)Scanning electron microscopy after soaking in simulated body fluids showed that a large number of granular materials were deposited on the surface of group A and group B after soaking for 1 day.After 3 days,the granular materials on the surface fused with each other to form film-like deposits.After 7 days,the films on the surface fused with each other to form pieces,basically covering the entire surface of the specimen.After soaking for 1 day,film-like material deposition was formed on the surface of group C,and after 3 days,the films on the surface were fused into pieces,basically covering the whole surface of the specimen.After soaking for 1 day in group D,flake material covering the whole surface of the specimen could be seen.(4)X-ray diffraction analysis after 1 day of immersion in simulated body fluids showed that the deposits on the surface of the four groups of scaffolds were crystallized hydroxyapatite.(5)B2O3 replacement of SiO2 can enhance the mechanical properties,degradation properties and in vitro mineralization activity of porous bioactive glass scaffolds.

OBJECTIVE:To inv estigate the effects of 4-hydroxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone on inflammatory and apoptosis signaling pathways in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD)model rats. METHODS :SD rats were divided into normal control group(10 rats)and modeling group (50 rats). Normal control group was given basic diet ,and modeling group were given high-fat diet to induce NAFLD model. After modeling ,the rats were divided into normal control group ,model group ,silibinin group (26.25 mg/kg),and 4-hydroxy-2(3H)-benzoxazolone high-dose ,medium-dose and low-dose groups (100,50,25 mg/kg),with 8 rats in each group. Normal control group and modeling group were given 0.6% CMC-Na intragastrically ,and other groups were given relevant medicine 10 mL/kg intragastrically ,once a day ,for consecutive 4 weeks. After last medication ,the serum levels of albumin(ALB),total protein (TP),globulin(GLB),ALB/GLB and free fatty acid (FFA)were detected ;TUNEL staining was used to observe the apoptosis of rat hepatocytes. Western blot assay was used to detect the protein expression and phosphorylation level of inflammatory signaling pathway related proteins [Toll-like receptor 4(TLR4),myeloid differentiation factor 88(MyD88), nuclear factor-κB p65(NF-κB p65),NF-κB inhibitor protein(IκBα)] in liver tissue as well as the expression of apoptosis signaling pathway related proteins [B cell lymphoma 2(Bcl-2),Bax,caspase-3]. RESULTS :Compared with model group ,serum levels of TP (except for low-dose group ),GLB and FFA ,the protein expression of TLR 4(except for low-dose group ),MyD88 (except for medium-dose group )and caspase- 3,the phosphorylation levels of NF-κB p65 and IκBα protein were decreased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The ratio of A LB/GLB in serum and the ratio of Bcl- 2/Bax in liver tissue were significantly increased(P<0.05 or P<0.01),and the phenomenon of hepatocyte apoptosis was improved. CONCLUSIONS :4-hydroxy-2 (3H)-benzoxazolone can ameliorate NAFLD in rats ,and the mechanism may be associated with inhibiting the expression TLR 4/ MyD88/NF-κB signaling pathway-related proteins and apoptosis-related proteins in liver tissues.
ABSTRACT
Objective:To investigate the current status of satisfaction with training program and loyalty to the university among professional postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine, as well as the association between satisfaction with training program and loyalty to the university.Methods:The 2017 National Medical Student Satisfaction Survey Database was used. A total of 1 944 professional postgraduate students in the second or third year, as well as those with delayed graduation, from 59 postgraduate training colleges and universities who participated in clinical internship were selected. SPSS 20.0 software was used for analysis; descriptive analysis was used to describe satisfaction with training program and loyalty to the university; factor analysis was adopted to calculate comprehensive satisfaction score to reduce the number of variables; logistic regression analysis was applied to investigate the association of general information and satisfaction with training program with loyalty to the university.Results:The professional postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine had a degree of 60.44% of loyalty to the university. Satisfaction with training program reflected low satisfaction at each link of the training program. For every 1-point increase in the comprehensive satisfaction scores of the four links of courses, research training, college support, and practice, the loyalty to the university was increased to 2.11, 1.83, 1.77, and 1.75 times as the original, respectively, of the baseline scores.Conclusion:There is still room for further improvement in the satisfaction with training program and the loyalty to the university among professional postgraduate students majoring in clinical medicine, and the satisfaction with training program is closely associated with the loyalty to the university. Colleges and universities need to take measures for courses, practice, research training, and college support, so as to improve satisfaction and thus enhance loyalty to the university.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Bioglass has high brittleness and poor mechanical strength, which limits its application in bone defect of bearing part. Nitrogen oxide glass has higher strength and hardness. Therefore, nitriding treatment is expected to improve the mechanical strength of bioglass. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of nitridation on the porosity, compressive strength, bending strength, degradation performance and mineralization activity of porous bioglass scaffolds. METHODS: This experiment was based on silicate glass (SiO2-CaO-P2O5-Na2O-ZnO), and nitriding it (SiO2 was replaced by 0%, 2%, 4%, 6% Si3N4, respectively). The basic glass (SiO2-CaO-P2O5-Na2O-ZnO-Si3N4) was prepared by melting method. The polyurethane foam was used as template and organic foam impregnation method was used to prepare porous bioglass scaffolds. The porosity, compressive strength, bending strength, and degradation performance in vitro of the porous bioglass scaffolds were measured in four groups. Four groups of scaffolds were immersed in simulated body fluid for 7 days. The surface morphology of the scaffold was observed with the scanning electron microscope. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1) The porosity of the four groups had no statistical difference (P > 0.05). (2) With increased Si3N4 content, compressive strength and bending strength of porus bioglass scaffold increased, and there was statistical difference between each group (P < 0.05). (3) With increased Si3N4 content, the degradation performance of porous bioglass scaffolds decreased gradually in vitro. (4) Scanning electron microscope revealed that typical hydroxyapatite membrane was formed on the surface of porous bioglass scaffold without nitriding treatment and porous bioglass scaffold containing 2% Si3N4, but no hydroxyapatite membrane was formed in the other two groups. (5) Nitriding treatment can significantly enhance the mechanical strength of bioglass, but can reduce its degradation performance and mineralization activity in vitro.

ABSTRACT
BACKGROUND: Scholars have been trying to create a microenvironment similar to the human body, which can induce the directional differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells from human bone marrow, placenta and umbilical cord blood. OBJECTIVE: To compare the neuronal differentiation of human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, human placental mesenchymal stem cells and human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells induced by co-culture with nerve cells. METHODS: Human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells, human placental mesenchymal stem cells and human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells cultured in vitro were co-cultured with nerve cells using the Transwell system. The morphological changes of three kinds of cells in the co-culture system were detected. After co-culture for4-5 days, immunofluorescence staining was used to measure the expression of neuron-specific enolase in cells. Mesenchymal stem cells only cultured in low glucose DMEM medium were used as controls. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: These three kinds of mesenchymal stem cells were extended, and interconnected processes were detective. The positive expression of neuron-specific enolase was highest in the human umbilical cord blood mesenchymal stem cells followed by human placental mesenchymal stem cells and human bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells in order. In the control group, none of the three kinds of mesenchymal stem cells have neuronal morphology, and the expression of neuron specific enolase was negative for the immunofluorescence staining. To conclude, microenvironment provided by nerve cells can induce these three kinds of mesenchymal stem cells todifferentiate into neurons.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To observe the effects of continuous rehabilitation exercise on emotion and quality of life after emergency percutaneous coronary intervention (PCI). Methods From June, 2013 to December, 2014, 95 acute myocardial infarction (AMI) patients underwent emergency PCI were divided into intervention group (n=47) and control group (n=48) randomly. The control group accepted routine medicine and rehabilitation exercise for a week, while the intervention group accepted incremental exercise in hospital and rehabilitation exercise intervention after discharged. They were assessed with Self-rating Anxiety Scale (SAS), Self-rating Depression Scale (SDS) and WHO Quality of Life-BREF (WHOQOL-BREF) 3 months, 6 months, 12 months after PCI, and the cardiovascular events were recorded. Results The scores of SAS and SDS declined in both groups after PCI (F>27.394, P<0.001), and were less in the intervention group than in the control group (F>2.681, P<0.05). Meanwhile, the physiological, psychological, social relations and environmental scores of WHOQOL-BREF increased in both groups (F>10.394, P<0.001), and the physiological, psychological, social relation scores were more in the intervention group than in the control group (F>2.671, P<0.05), but the environmental score was not significantly different (F<0.568, P>0.05). The incidences of angina pectoris (12.8% vs. 29.2%) and re-infarction (0 vs. 10.4%) were less in the intervention group than in the control group within 12 months after PCI (P<0.05). Conclusion Continuous rehabilitation exercise can improve the long-term emotion and quality of life in patients after emergency PCI, and prevent the cardiovascular events.

ABSTRACT
To identify the anti-bacterial compound(s) from Streptomyces hygroscopicus 17997, a geldanamycin producer, silica gel thin layer chromatography (TLC) TLC was used to separate the secondary metabolites of S. hygroscopicus 17997. Compound(s) from the silica gel TLC with anti-Gram positive bacteria activity and becoming red upon color reaction by 2.0 mol/L NaOH was analyzed by HPLC. The UV absorption profile and the retention time of a peak of HPLC were identical to those of authentic elaiophylin. A conserved region of dTDP-glucose-4,6-dehydratase (Tgd) gene was amplified by PCR from the genomic DNA of Streptomyces hygroscopicus 17997. DNA sequence analysis of the amplified DNA fragment indicated that it should be the tgd gene of elaiophylin biosynthetic gene cluster. These results implied that the compound in the peak of HPLC was elaiophylin, a macrodiolide antibiotic. The compound was then confirmed to be elaiophylin by LC-(+)-ESI-MS, which revealed that Streptomyces hygroscopicus 17997 was an elaiophylin producer. At the same time, a fast procedure, which consisted of silica gel TLC, color reaction, HPLC, PCR detection and DNA sequence analysis of tgd gene, and LC-(+)-ESI-MS, was established for rapid identification of elaiophylin and its producer.

ABSTRACT
Objective To estimate quantitatively the impact of the ambient PM10 on the hospital outpatients for cardiovascular diseases of local residents. Methods Time serial analysis using generalized addictive model (GAM) was applied. After controlling for those confounding factors such as long-term trend, weekly pattern and meteorological factors, considering lag effect and the influence of other air pollutants, excess relative risks (ER) of daily hospital visits associated with increasing PM10 level were estimated by fitting a Poisson regression model. Results A 10 ?g/m3 increase in PM10 levels was associated with an ER of 0.380% (95%CI: 0.326% ~0.433%) for hospital visits for cardiovascular diseases. Lag effect of 4 days with an ER of 1.166% (95%CI:1.121%~1.212%) were observed. The ER value increased when CO, NO2, SO2 concentrations were introduced. Conclusion The ambient PM10 concentration is positively associated with daily hospital visits for cardiovascular diseases in Beijing.
ABSTRACT
Objective To evaluate the safety of thrombolytic treatment using rt-PA at early stage of acute cerebral infarction in Chinese patients, and to analyze the significance of intra - cerebral hemorrhage after therapy. Methods 206 patients within 6 hours after the onset of stroke were divided into 3 groups: group A (thrombolytic treament using rt - PA with dosage of 0.9 mg/kg over 60 minutes) , group B (thrombolytic treatment using rt-PA with dosage of 0.7 mg/kg over 60 minutes) and group C (control group without rt-PA). Group A, group B, group C were divided into two subgroups according to using Clexane or not. Patients in subgroups A1, B1, C1 were treated with Clexane and in subgroups A2, B2, C2 were not. The Chinese Stroke Scale (CSS) and Barthel Index (BI) were used to evaluate the neurological function before and 24 hours, 3 days, 7 days, and 90 days rt-tPA. Results There was significant difference on hemorrhagic rate and cerebral hemorrhagic rate at the 48 hours and 14 days between group A, group B and group C. There was no significant difference on symptomatic cerebral hemorrhage in groups A, B and group C. There were significant differences between thrombolytic groups and group C on the effective and curative rate at 90 days after therapy. The mortality was lower in thrombolytic groups than in group C at 90 days. There was no significant difference between group A and group B , and also between the subgroups. Conclusion Thrombolytic treatment using rt-PA intravenously in patients with acute cerebral infarction within 6 hours was effective and safe. The dosage of 0.7mg/kg was suitable for Chinese patients.
