RESUMO
Objective To investigate the toxicokinetic differences of 3,4-methylenedioxy-N-methylamphetamine(MDMA)and its metabolite 4,5-methylene dioxy amphetamine(MDA)in rats af-ter single and continuous administration of MDMA,providing reference data for the forensic identifica-tion of MDMA.Methods A total of 24 rats in the single administration group were randomly divided into 5,10 and 20 mg/kg experimental groups and the control group,with 6 rats in each group.The ex-perimental group was given intraperitoneal injection of MDMA,and the control group was given intraperi-toneal injection of the same volume of normal saline as the experimental group.The amount of 0.5 mL blood was collected from the medial canthus 5 min,30 min,1 h,1.5 h,2 h,4 h,6 h,8 h,10 h,12 h after administration.In the continuous administration group,24 rats were randomly divided into the experi-mental group(18 rats)and the control group(6 rats).The experimental group was given MDMA 7 d by continuous intraperitoneal injection in increments of 5,7,9,11,13,15,17 mg/kg per day,respectively,while the control group was given the same volume of normal saline as the experimental group by in-traperitoneal injection.On the eighth day,the experimental rats were randomly divided into 5,10 and 20 mg/kg dose groups,with 6 rats in each group.MDMA was injected intraperitoneally,and the con-trol group was injected intraperitoneally with the same volume of normal saline as the experimental group.On the eighth day,0.5 mL of blood was taken from the medial canthus 5 min,30 min,1 h,1.5 h,2 h,4 h,6 h,8 h,10 h,12 h after administration.Liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole tandem mass spectrometry was used to detect MDMA and MDA levels,and statistical software was employed for data analysis.Results In the single-administration group,peak concentrations of MDMA and MDA were reached at 5 min and 1 h after administration,respectively,with the largest detection time limit of 12 h.In the continuous administration group,peak concentrations were reached at 30 min and 1.5 h af-ter administration,respectively,with the largest detection time limit of 10 h.Nonlinear fitting equations for the concentration ratio of MDMA and MDA in plasma and administration time in the single-administration group and continuous administration group were as follows:T=10.362C-1.183,R2=0.974 6;T=7.397 3C-0.694,R2=0.961 5(T:injection time;C:concentration ratio of MDMA to MDA in plasma).Conclusions The toxicokinetic data of MDMA and its metabolite MDA in rats,obtained through single and continuous administration,including peak concentration,peak time,detection time limit,and the relationship between concentration ratio and administration time,provide a theoretical and data foundation for relevant forensic identification.
RESUMO
Background Sleep quality is one of the important factors affecting soldiers’ task performance. Objective To explore the effects of mindful attention awareness, burnout, and occupational stress on sleep quality among soldiers in plateau areas. Methods A total of 1090 soldiers were selected from four units in plateau areas by cluster sampling method and were asked to participate a cross-sectional questionnaire survey using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PQSI), Occupational Stress Inventory (OSI), Maslach Burnout Inventory-General Survey (MBI-GS), and Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS). Correlation analysis, regression analysis, and mediated effect test were conducted for the study. Results Of the 1090 soldiers recruited, 1082 soldiers returned valid questionnaires, and the valid recovery rate was 99.26%. The median (P25, P75) score of PSQI was 4.00 (2.00,7.00), the median score of OSI was 26.00 (17.00, 34.00), the median score of MBI-GS was 3.53 (3.13, 4.00), and the median score of MAAS was 71.00 (59.00, 82.00). The burnout and mindful attention awareness levels varied among military personnel of different age groups (P<0.05), so did the burnout and occupational stress levels among military personnel of different length of service groups (P<0.05), and the occupational stress, PSQI, burnout, and mindful attention awareness levels among military personnel with different educational backgrounds and genders (P<0.05). The results of mediated effect test showed that occupational stress and burnout had both a parallel mediated effect and a sequential mediating effect on the relationship between mindful attention awareness and sleep quality, with effect sizes of 15.3%, 21.5% and 31.8%, respectively. Conclusion There is a mediated effect on the relationship between mindful attention awareness and sleep quality by the occupational stress and burnout of military personnel in plateau areas, and sleep quality is also affected by mindful attention awareness through the chain-mediated effect of occupational stress and burnout.

RESUMO
Objective To analyze the correlation of hepatic steatosis with blood lipids and uric acid metabolism in elderly patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB). Methods The clinical data of 120 patients with CHB admitted to the hospital from January to December 2021 were retrospectively analyzed. According to the presence or absence of hepatic steatosis, the patients were divided into steatosis group (n=35) and non-steatosis group (n=85). The general clinical data, serological indicators of hepatitis B virus, blood lipid and uric acid levels were compared between the two groups. The correlation of hepatic steatosis grading with blood lipids and uric acid metabolism was analyzed. Results The inflammation and fibrosis degree of liver tissues were significantly different in the two groups (P0.05). Pearson correlation analysis found that the grade of hepatic steatosis in patients with CHB was negatively correlated with liver tissue inflammation, fibrosis degree and HDL-C level (P<0.05), and positively correlated with TG and TC levels (P<0.05). Conclusion Elderly patients with CHB and hepatic steatosis have abnormal blood lipid metabolism. Hepatic steatosis will exacerbate abnormal blood lipid metabolism but not liver tissue inflammation or fibrosis degree. Clinically, attention should be paid to blood lipid monitoring of elderly patients with CHB.

RESUMO
OBJECTIVE@#To explore the clinical effect of acupoint puncture combined with Ilizarov technique in the treatment of knee osteoarthritis in the elderly.@*METHODS@#From March 2015 to February 2016, 76 patients with primary knee osteoarthritis were treated with tibial osteotomy acupoint puncture grouop and Ilizarov technique anatomical puncture group, including 24 males and 52 females, aged 56 to 75 years old with an average of 61.4 years old, and a course of 3 to 17 years with an average of 5.2 years. Among them, 38 cases were treated with external fixation of acupoint puncture needle and 38 cases were treated with external fixation of anatomical puncture needle. Preoperative full-length X-ray of both lower limbs showed tibial varus deformity, narrowing of medial knee joint space and enlargement of lateral knee joint space. The force line of the affected knee and lower limb was moved inward by body surface measurement, and the KSS knee function score was decreased. Symptoms included medial knee pain, flexion and extension, and conservative treatment for more than 2 years.@*RESULTS@#The lower limb force lines of both groups were corrected and the osteotomy ends healed well. No nonunion of osteotomy, inadequate correction of lower limbs or recurrence of deformity were found. Seventy-five patients were followed up for 3, 6, 12 and 24 months after operation. There was no significant difference in knee joint mobility between the two groups before operation and on 6, 12, 24 months after operation(=1.346, >0.05). There were significant difference in KSS pain and total score between the two groups at 3 months after operation, acupoint puncture group was better than anatomical puncture group(0.05).@*CONCLUSIONS@#The acupoint puncture group formed a potential acupuncture effect in the acupoint area by continuously tightening the steel needle on Ilizarov ring external fixator during the post-operative adjustment. Within three months after wearing external fixator, the knee pain symptoms of knee osteoarthritis were relieved rapidly, continuously and effectively, which was significantly better than that of the anatomical puncture group.

BACKGROUND:The vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) plays an important role in the development and formation of blood vessels.Up to now,there are few reports about the treatment of postoperative complications of vascular anastomosis surgery by mcrosutures with VEGF in China.OBJECTIVE:To synthesiize microsutures with VEGF and to evaluate its effect in revascularization following small vessel anastomosis.METHODS:The method of emulsification-diffusion was use to produce biodegradable polymer polylactic acid/glycolic acid (PLGA) copolymer microparticles containing VEGF,and then,the microparticles were added into microsutures to prepare microsutures with VEGF.Ninety Sprague-Dawley rats were enrolled to make animal models of caudal artery anastomosis using microsutures with VEGF in experimental group and microsutures alone in control group.Complications and VEGF level in the peripheral blood were detected and hematoxylin-eosin staining at the anastomotic site was performed at 2,12 hours,1,3,7 days after anastomosis.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) Postoperative complications:The postoperative incidence of skin necrosis was significantly lower in the experimental group than the control group (P < 0.05).(2) VEGF level:Compared with the control group,the peripheral blood VEGF level was significantly higher in the experimental group at each time point after operation (P < 0.05).(3) Hematoxylin-eosin staining:In the experimental group,proliferated endothelial cells were seen near the anastomotic site at 1 day after anastomosis;there were a large number of proliferated endothelial calls and subcutaneous tissues covering the sutures completely at 3 days after anastomosis;and endothelial cells and internal elastic lamina were completely repaired,smooth muscle cells proliferated further,and the outer membrane returned to normal at 1 week after anastomosis.In the control group,cell degeneration and necrosis were seen near the anastomotic suture,and only adventitial cells infiltrated and exhibited a traumatic proliferative response at 1 day after anastomosis;neonatal endothelial cells appeared in the exfoliated area of the endothelial cells,grew and migrated,and there was a few endothelial cells covering the anastomotic site at 3 days after anastomosis;and newborn endothelial cells got over the anastomotic crack and covered the suture.To conclude,microsutures with sustained-release VEGF microparticles can promote endothelial cell regeneration in rats at the anastomotic site.
RESUMO
A method for the determination of trace elements such as lead, arsenic and mercury in cream cosmetics by total reflection X-ray fluorescence spectrometry (TXRF) with suspension sampling was developed. The mixed solvents of water,tetrahydrofuran,methanol and were used to disperse paste, cream, and additives of triton X-100 to promote the test liquid uniform. The test suspension fluid were taken into the sample carrier,drying and then introduced into TXRF. Poly(1-vinylpyrrolidone-co-vinyl acetate) (P(VP-co-VAc)) was added to curing sediments,inhibiting proliferation. Triton X-100 and P(VP-co-VAc) were found to have the function of reducing mercury loss in the drying process. The loss of elements in the drying process and the effect of triton X-100 and P(VP-co-VAc) were investigated. The effect of cream matrix, element interference, spectral line and the inner standard were discussed. The calibration curves for quantitative analysis were established using matrix standards, so the error of software decomposition peak and the error caused by thick sample were avoided within a certain range. In this work,the linear correlation coefficients of Pb,As and Hg calibration curve were greater than 0.998 The detection limit of Pb,As and Hg in the solution were 0.005,0.004 and 0.006 μg/mL,respectively. Relative standard diviations(RSDs, n=11) of Pb, As and Hg were 7.8%-14.9%,6.6%-13.3% and 7.6%-14.6% respectively. The results of Pb, As, and Hg in cream cosmetics determinated by this method agreed with those obtained from inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectrometry and the value of standard reference material. The TXRF method was proved to be accurate,simple and valuable in determination of trace heavy metal ions in cosmetic samples.

RESUMO
4-(Methylnitrosamino)-1-(3-pyridyl)-1-butanone (NNK) is a potent and prevalent nitrosamine procarcinogen found in cigarette smoke. The aim of this work is to study alterations in peroxiredoxin (Prx) expression induced by NNK during carcinogenesis. Characterization of Prx genes from hamster was performed using bioinformatics. V79 cells were induced with different concentrations of NNK (0.1-0.4 mg/mL), and the expression levels of six Prx genes (Prx1-Prx6) were measured by qRT-PCR 24 h following NNK treatment. Prx gene expression was induced by NNK stress, and the highest transcription levels were induced by over 20.42-fold relative to that of the control. NNK induced alterations in Prx expression over the course of lung cancer, which means Prxs may play important roles in ROS detoxification under NNK stress and their functions are complementary.

As an important policy, the multiple-site physician practice system is expected to promote the flow of physicians and optimize the distribution of health resources, though it is difficult to enforce in practice. From the perspective of institutional change, the fundamental reason lies in path dependence existing in system, organization and mindset:First, the government regulation system has a strong inertia to restrict the flow of physicians, and the multiple-site physician practice lacks the unity of legitimacy and rationality. Secondly, fierce competition between hospitals and the distribution pattern of rights and responsibilities between hospital and physician cause the hospitals to oppose multiple-site physician practices. Third, the stability tendency in mind and the desires for profit restrain the flow of physicians. Therefore, the institutional change of the multiple-site physician practice requires improvements in three aspects:the innovation of government systems to unlock the multiple-site physician practice must be accelerated to realize the unity of legitimacy and rationality;a change is needed in the operation logic of hospitals to control the profit incentives and management of practices by contract;the thought-pattern of physicians must be changed to con-front the proper demand for interests and build innovative incentive mechanisms.

RESUMO
BACKGROUND:Studies have reported that the superfamily of transforming growth factors exert a role in the mineralization of various stem cells, but the combination effects of transforming growth factorβ3 and heparin on proliferation and mineralization ability of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth remains to be studied. OBJECTIVE:To explore the effect of transforming growth factorβ3 on odontoblast-like differentiation of stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth. METHODS:Human deciduous teeth were col ected using enzyme digestion. The 3rd cells were incubated with 25μg/L recombinant human transforming growth factorβ3, 10 U/mL heparin or their combination. The dentin sialophosphoprotein mRNA and dentinsialoprotein expressions were detected by Q-PCR and western blot assay. Alkaline phosphatase activity was determined using alkaline phosphatase kit. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth grew wel after induction. The activity of alkaline phosphatase in the combination group was significantly higher than that in the transforming growth factorβ3, heparin and control groups (P<0.01). After combination induction, the cells were strongly positive for alizarin red staining. Results fromα-PCR and western blot assay showed that the expressions of dentin sialophosphoprotein were both remarkably increased at mRNA and protein levels. In summary, stem cells from human exfoliated deciduous teeth can differentiate into odontoblast-like cells under the induction of transforming growth factorβ3 plus heparin.
