ABSTRACT
At present, the experimental examination of medical morphology courses in most medical colleges and universities still adopt traditional specimen examination or PPT examination, and there are many disadvantages. This paper introduces how to build a system with B/S architecture based on the local area network, and how to set up an examination system to realize the functions of user management, online examination database updating, free examination paper formation, examination running and automatic marking. Through its application in Chengdu Medical College in recent years, the medical morphology online picture exam system has effectively promoted the reform of the examination methods, the style of study and the effect of experimental teaching. However, there are still some problems, such as high investment cost and limited examination room.
ABSTRACT
As one of the three major nutrients, dietary lipids provide energy and nutrition for human. The quantity and quality of dietary lipids affect the composition of gut microbiota, which consequently may affect the host metabolic health. Development of disease animal models is an important approach to study the relationship between gut microbiota and human metabolic health. In this review, we discussed the types of dietary lipids, and summarized how dietary lipids affect the composition of gut microbiota and regulate the metabolic health of animal models. The clarification of potential underlying mechanisms will shed lights on future research in other live systems including human.

ABSTRACT
Objective@#To understand the antiretroviral treatment (ART) discontinuation rate and its influencing factors among HIV infected patients who initiated ART between 2012 and 2015 in Wenshan prefecture, Yunnan province.@*Methods@#Demographic characteristics, baseline informations of ART, initial treatment regimens and follow-up status of a total of 4 354 patients who initiated ART from 2012 to 2015 in Wenshan prefecture were collected. A historical cohort study was used to describe the discontinuation incidence rate of ART. Life table was used to estimate cumulative retention rate and Cox proportional hazard model was used to determine the influencing factors of ART discontinuation.@*Results@#The percentage and incidence rate of discontinuation were 25.1% (1 092/4 354) and 14.53 per 100 person-years among patients who initiated ART from 2012 to 2015 in Wenshan prefecture. ART retention rates were 88%, 83%, 78%, 74% at 6th month, 12th month, 18th month, 24th month, respectively. The multivariate Cox proportional hazard regression model showed that male patients were at a higher risk of discontinuation (HR=1.24, 95%CI: 1.09-1.41) than female patients, patients aged ≥50 years were at a higher risk of discontinuation (HR=1.27, 95%CI: 1.06-1.53) than patients aged<30 years, discontinuation hazard among patients who were unmarried or divorced or widowed was 1.30 times (HR:1.30, 95%CI: 1.14-1.48) as patients who were married or cohabitation, discontinuation hazard among patients infected with HIV through injection drug use (IDU) was 1.49 times (HR:1.49, 95%CI: 1.23-1.82) as those infected through heterosexual transmission, patients with a baseline CD4 cell count<350/μl (HR=1.34, 95%CI: 1.13-1.58) or ≥500/μl (HR=1.36, 95%CI: 1.09-1.71) were at a higher risk of discontinuation than those with a baseline CD4 cell count from 350/μl to 500/μl, patients initiating ART in 2014 (HR=1.25, 95%CI: 1.04-1.50) or in 2015 (HR=1.26, 95%CI: 1.02-1.55) were at a higher risk of discontinuation than those initiating ART in 2012.@*Conclusion@#There is an uptrend for ART discontinuation rate in Wenshan prefecture. Male, 50 years or older, unmarried or divorced or widowed, transmission route as IDU, baseline CD4 count <350/μl or ≥500/μl are risk factors of ART discontinuation.
ABSTRACT
Objective: To evaluate mid-term outcomes for the application of homograft valve conduits in right ventricular outlfow reconstruction in patients with congenital heart disease. Methods: We retrospectively studied 122 patients who received right ventricular outlfow reconstruction by homograft valve conduits application in our hospital from 2007-10 to 2014-07. The patients were divided into different sets of groups, by surgical procedure: Ross group,n=38 and Non-Ross group,n=84; by median age: ≤6 years group,n=61 and >6 years group, n=61; by the type of valve conduits: Aortic homograft group,n=21 and Pulmonary homograft group,n=101; by the diameter of conduits: ≤19 mm group,n=31 and >19 mm group,n=91. The relationships between pre-operative conditions, different types of conduits and diameters to the prognosis were analyzed; the post-operative death, re-operation, free homograft valve conduits failure rates were followed-up in all patients. Results: The average follow-up time was (35.4 ± 22.2) months and 2/122 (1.6%) patients died during that period, the overall free conduits failure rates at 1, 5 and 7 years post-operation were 94.2%, 81.2% and 75.4% respectively. The free conduits failure rates in Pulmonary homograft group at 1, 5, 7 years post-operation were 96.2%, 86.1%,79.9% and in Aortic homograft group were 80.0%, 59.7%, 59.7% respectively,P=0.011; in Ross group were 96.4%, 89.0%, 89.0% and in Non-Ross group were 91.3%, 78.3%, 67.1% respectively,P=0.045. While the age, conduits diameter, cyanosis and re-operation had no statistical meaning to free conduits failure rates, allP>0.05. Conclusion: Application of homograft valve conduits had good mid-term outcomes in right ventricular outflow reconstruction in patients with congenital heart disease, while the long-term effects should be further emphasized in clinical practice.
ABSTRACT
@#Objective To investigate the spatial organization of neurons, blood vessel and astrocytes at different time of reperfusion after focal cerebral ischemia in rats. Methods 24 Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into sham group (n=8), reperfusion 1 day group and reperfusion 2 weeks group. The latter 2 groups were occluded the middle cerebral arteries for an hour and reperfused. All the rats were injected with gelatin ink. The expressions of glial fibrillary acid protein (GFAP) and neuronal nuclear antigen (NeuN) in the brain were observed with immunohistochemistry. Results The vessels located mainly in cortex and nucleus. Most of astrocytes apophysis connected with vessels and neurons. Compared to the sham group, the expression of GFAP increased significantly in ischemic side, and the expression of NeuN decreased 1 day and 2 weeks after ischemia-reperfusion. The vessels decreased in the ischemic side 1 day after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion, and then increased 2 weeks later. Conclusion The organization of neurovascular unit after cerebral ischemia-reperfusion has been observed.
ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>To understand the coverage of HIV related intervention and antiviral treatment among HIV-positive men who have sex with men (MSM) and to examine factors of initiating antiretroviral treatment.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>A total of 501 HIV-positive MSM were recruited by "snowballing" sampling in Chengdu (160), Chongqing (168) and Guangzhou (173) from January to June, 2013. Participants who were older than18 years, had sex with men, HIV-infected, were living in these 3 cities when survey was conducted were eligible for subjects of this survey. The data were collected by computer assisted survey, including social demography, the coverage of HIV related follow-up intervention and ART, related knowledge level, sexual behaviors in the last 6 months, as well as notification to sexual partners and family. We analyzed the influence factors for initiating ART by Multiple Unconditioned Logistic Regression.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Among 501 HIV-positive MSM, the ratio of CD4 counting and HIV viral load testing were 90.8% (455) and 19.4% (97), respectively. The percentage of the latest CD4 counting not more than 350 per µl was 33.0% (150/455). The coverage of initiated ART among the participants who met the qualification was 56.0% (84/150). The multivariable Logistic regression analysis showed that the possibility of not on ART among participants who were migrants increased to 5.21(2.33-11.66) times of the local residents and the possibility among participants who were diagnosed STD in the last year increased to 2.70(1.12-6.55) times of those who were not infected STD, the possibility of not on ART among participants who had sex with male occasional or commercial partner in the last 6 months increased to 2.16(1.03-4.50) times of those who hadn't, and the possibility among participants who had anal sex with condom use in the past 6 months increased to 2.68(1.10-6.50) times of those who couldn't insist using condom.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>There were low coverage of series of HIV/AIDS related intervention services among HIV-positive MSM in Chengdu, Chongqi and Guangzhou. Migrants, had sex with male occasional or commercial partner, had anal sex with condom use in the past 6 months, not infected STD in the last year may be the independent risk factors for HIV-positive MSM to not initiating ART.</p>

ABSTRACT
<p><b>OBJECTIVE</b>In order to investigate the potential mechanisms in troglitazone-induced apoptosis in HT29 cells, the effects of PPARγ and POX-induced ROS were explored.</p><p><b>METHODS</b>[3- (4, 5)-dimethylthiazol-2-yl]-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT) assay, Annexin V and PI staining using FACS, plasmid transfection, ROS formation detected by DCFH staining, RNA interference, RT-PCR & RT-QPCR, and Western blotting analyses were employed to investigate the apoptotic effect of troglitazone and the potential role of PPARγ pathway and POX-induced ROS formation in HT29 cells.</p><p><b>RESULTS</b>Troglitazone was found to inhibit the growth of HT29 cells by induction of apoptosis. During this process, mitochondria related pathways including ROS formation, POX expression and cytochrome c release increased, which were inhibited by pretreatment with GW9662, a specific antagonist of PPARγ. These results illustrated that POX upregulation and ROS formation in apoptosis induced by troglitazone was modulated in PPARγ-dependent pattern. Furthermore, the inhibition of ROS and apoptosis after POX siRNA used in troglitazone-treated HT29 cells indicated that POX be essential in the ROS formation and PPARγ-dependent apoptosis induced by troglitazone.</p><p><b>CONCLUSION</b>The findings from this study showed that troglitazone-induced apoptosis was mediated by POX-induced ROS formation, at least partly, via PPARγ activation.</p>

ABSTRACT
As a basic work of illustrating the relationship between the structure and function of a kind of protein purified from Se-enriched Ganoderma lucidum (Se-GL-P), the primary biochemical characters of Se-GL-P were characterized. Molecular mass was determined by two methods of sodium dodecyl sulfate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis and size exclusion chromatogram. Amino acids composition, isoelectric point, peptide mass fingerprint, and the sequence of N terminal amino acids were determined by high performance liquid chromatography, capillary isoelectric focusing method, in-gel digestion, and Edman digestion method respectively. Results showed that, the Mr of Se-GL-P was 36 600, pI=4.01, and the sequence of N-terminal amino acids was DINGGGATLPQKLYLTPDVL. A conclusion was drawn that Se-GL-P was a kind of new selenium-containing protein, and it was one member of DING protein family.
