RESUMEN
Objective To investigate the resistance development of Aedes albopictus to commonly used insecticides in Yangpu District of Shanghai， China， and to provide scientific bases for the control of A. albopictus and the emergency treatment of dengue fever. Methods The larva immersion method recommended by WHO was used to assay the median lethal concentration （LC50） of A. albopictus larva. SPSS 25.0 was used to calculate the toxicity baselines of insecticides. Results A. albopictus kept a medium resistance to beta-cypermethrin， and the resistance ratios were 14.44， 10.00， 17.78， respectively， in 2015， 2017， 2019. The mosquitos kept a high resistance to permethrin， and the resistance ratios were 54.00， 140.00， 52.00 respectively， in 2015， 2017， 2019. Besides， A. albopictus also kept a medium resistance to propoxur， and the resistance ratios were 15.34， 13.06， 10.83 respectively， in 2015， 2017， 2019. To deltamethrin， A. albopictus showed high resistance in 2015 and medium resistance in 2017， the resistance ratios were 40.00 and 35.00. To temephos， A. albopictus showed low resistance in 2015， with the resistance ratio of 9.38. Conclusion A. albopictus has developed high resistance to permethrin in Yangpu District of Shanghai， and cautious and reduced use of permethrin is suggested. It is necessary to implement and adopt the strategy of comprehensive management， in order to establish the long-term mechanism for mosquito control and prevention.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the preventive effect of Gynostemma pentaphyllum water extract on model rats with stress-induced gastric ulcer. METHODS:60 rats were randomly divided into normal group,model group,positive group (Sanjiu weitai granules,3.69 g/kg)and G. pentaphyllum water extract high-dose,medium-dose,low-dose groups(4.0,2.0,1.0 g/kg,cal-culated by crude drug),10 in each group. All rats were intragastrically administrated,once a day,for one week. After 2 h of ad-ministration,except for normal group,rats were induced to stress gastric ulcer model by water immersion method in other groups. After 3 h of modeling,ulcer index (UI),ulcer inhibition rate were detected;superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA)in serum,tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α),prostaglandin E2(PGE2),nitric oxide(NO)and endothelin-1(ET-1)levels in gastric mucosal tissue were determined. RESULTS:Compared with normal group,SOD level in model group was decreased, while MDA level was increased in serum(P<0.05);PGE2,NO levels were decreased,TNF-α,ET-1 levels were increased in gas-tric mucosal tissue (P<0.05). Compared with model group,UI in administration groups were obviously decreased,above-men-tioned indexes were obviously improved,which showed certain dose-dependence. And the levels of PEG2,ET-1 of gastric mucosal tissue in G. pentaphyllum water extract high-dose group improved more obviously than positive group,with statistical significances (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:G. pentaphyllum water extract plays a role in preventing gastric ulcer by regulating serum SOD-MDA balance,gastric mucosal tissue NO-ET-1 balance and reduce the degree of gastric mucosa injury,etc.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE To explore the two application methods of medical lubricant oil to avoid the high cost and secondary contamination problems.METHODS The spray and immersion methods of lubricant oil to maintain the medical equipment were adopted and compared its bacterial reproducing status after dilution and weekly oil cost.RESULTS The spray method was better than the immersion method,The bacterial reproduction was not found by the oil spray method for over 48 h and the weekly lubricant oil dosage was 200 ml,but in the immersion method the bacterial contamination rate was 100% at the sametime in its dilnted oil and the weekly lubricant oil dogase was 800ml.CONCLUSIONS For the manual method to wash the equipment,spray method can maintain the equipment to avoid the secondary contamination problem and save the lubricant oil dosage and cost.
RESUMEN
This study is to determine the biomechanical characteristics of Korean adults. Male 32 and female 28 were participated for the measurement which was performed by immersion method and reaction board method. Body segments were head with neck, trunk, upper arm, forearm, hand, thigh, leg and foot. Their volumes were measures by immersion method. Their weight were determined by using Dempster (1955), Drills and Contini (1969) density data. Each COM (center of mass) of body segment weight were determined by specific posture on the reaction board. The postures were asked to the subject total arm-lifted posture, forearm-lifted posture, total leg-lifted posture, leg-lifted posture. According to each posture, the COM of each segment were calculated. Also, center positions of mass according to posture change were estimated. The results were compared with cadaver data from Dempster (1955), Cluaser (1969), Matsui (1958) which are applied very often and also bio data from Lim (1994) and Jung (1993) on Korean adults.
