Fascioliasis, a global zoonotic parasitic disease, is mainly caused by Fasciola hepatica (F. hepatica) parasitizing in the livers of hosts, mainly humans and herbivores. Glutathione S-transferase (GST) is one of the important excretory- secretory products (ESPs) from F. hepatica, however, the regulatory roles of its Omega subtype in the immunomodulatory effects remain unknown. Here, we expressed F. hepatica recombinant GSTO1 protein (rGSTO1) in Pichia pastoris and analyzed its antioxidant properties. Then, the interaction between F. hepatica rGSTO1 and RAW264.7 macrophages and its effects on inflammatory responses and cell apoptosis were further explored. The results revealed that GSTO1 of F. hepatica owned the potent ability to resist oxidative stress. F. hepatica rGSTO1 could interact with RAW264.7 macrophages and inhibit its cell viability, furthermore, it may suppress the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines IL-1ß, IL-6 and TNF-α, but promote the expression of anti-inflammatory cytokine IL-10. In addition, F. hepatica rGSTO1 may down-regulate the ratio of Bcl-2/Bax, and increase the expression of pro-apoptotic protein caspase-3, thereby eliciting the apoptosis of macrophages. Notably, F. hepatica rGSTO1 inhibited the activation of nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) and mitogenactivated protein kinases (MAPKs p38, ERK and JNK) pathways in LPS-activated RAW264.7 cells, exerting potent modulatory effects on macrophages. These findings suggested that F. hepatica GSTO1 can modulate the host immune response, which provided new insights into the immune evasion mechanism of F. hepatica infection in host.

ObjectiveTo observe the effects of modified Shenqiwan on renal function and fibrosis in diabetic nephropathy mice and explore the underlying mechanism based on the glycogen synthase kinase-3β （GSK-3β）/cyclic adenosine monophosphate （cAMP） response element-binding protein （CREB） signaling pathway. MethodFifty male db/db mice and 10 db/m mice were used in this study. The fifty db/db mice were randomly divided into model group， irbesartan group， and low-， medium-， and high-dose modified Shenqiwan groups. The 10 db/m mice were assigned to the normal group. The mice in the low-， medium-， and high-dose modified Shenqiwan groups were administered with modified Shenqiwan in the dosage form of suspension of Chinese medicinal granules by gavage， those in the irbesartan group were given irbesartan suspension by gavage， and those in the normal and model groups were given distilled water of equal volume by gavage. The intervention lasted for 12 weeks. The blood glucose levels， urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio （UACR）， and the protein expression levels of GSK-3β， CREB， transforming growth factor-β1 （TGF-β1）， E-cadherin， Vimentin， fibronectin （FN）， plasminogen activator inhibitor-1 （PAI-1）， and Collagen type Ⅳ （Coll Ⅳ） in the mouse kidneys were recorded before and after treatment. The extent of renal pathological damage was also observed. ResultCompared with the normal group， the model group showed significant increases in blood glucose levels， UACR levels， and the protein expression levels of GSK-3β， TGF-β1， E-cadherin， Vimentin， FN， PAI-1， and Coll Ⅳ in the kidneys （P<0.05）， decreased protein expression level of CREB （P<0.05）， and severe renal pathological damage. Compared with the model group， the low-， medium-， and high-dose modified Shenqiwan groups and the irbesartan group showed varying degrees of decreases in blood glucose levels， UACR levels， and the protein expression levels of GSK-3β， TGF-β1， E-cadherin， Vimentin， FN， PAI-1， and Coll Ⅳ in the kidneys （P<0.05）， increased expression level of CREB protein （P<0.05）， and improved renal pathological damage. ConclusionModified Shenqiwan can effectively reduce blood glucose levels， improve renal function， and alleviate fibrosis， and the mechanism of action is related to the inhibition of the GSK-3β/CREB signaling pathway.
Objective:To investigate the influence of pre-pregnancy body mass index (BMI), gestational weight gain and early feeding behavior on delayed onset of lactogenesis stage Ⅱ(DOL Ⅱ).Methods:This was a prospective study involving puerperae from Women's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from March 2020 to June 2020. Demographic data and delivery data were obtained using questionnaires and breastfeeding behavior and milk secretion were followed up every day after delivery. According to whether the lactation initiation was longer than 72 h or not, all subjects were divided into DOL Ⅱ group or non-DOL Ⅱ group. Differences in general condition and breastfeeding between the two groups were compared using independent sample t-test, Chi-square test, and Mann-Whitney U test. Multivariate logistic regression analysis was used to analyze the risk factors of DOL Ⅱ. Results:During the study period, a total of 390 cases were enrolled and 334 cases among them were analyzed due to lost of follow-up in 56 cases. The incidence of DOL Ⅱ was 19.2% (64/334). Univariate analysis showed that body mass index [lean:18.8% (12/64) vs 13.3% (36/270); fit:56.2% (36/64) vs 74.8% (202/270); overweight: 25.0% (16/64) vs 11.9% (32/270); χ2=9.78], mode of delivery [vaginal delivery: 37.5% (24/64) vs 52.6% (142/270); cesarean section: 62.5% (40/64) vs 47.4% (128/270); χ2=4.71], nipple type score in LATCH score [2.0 (1.0-2.0) vs 2.0 (2.0-2.0), U=－2.08], frequency of breastfeeding in 24 h [(6.3±3.0) vs (8.3±3.6) times per day, t=－3.94], adding formula within 24 h [71.9% (46/64) vs 56.3% (152/270), χ2=5.20] and the proportion of attending breastfeeding clinic during pregnancy [73.4% (47/64) vs 85.6% (231/270), χ2=5.44] were significantly different between the DOL Ⅱ and non-DOL Ⅱ groups (all P<0.05). Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pre-pregnancy overweight was an independent risk factor for DOL Ⅱ ( OR=2.240, 95% CI:1.020-4.918, P=0.044), either was pre-pregnancy overweight with appropriate gestational weight gain ( OR=5.595, 95% CI:1.492-20.985, P=0.011), while breastfeeding frequency within 24 h ( OR=0.867, 95% CI: 0.780-0.963, P=0.008) and attending breastfeeding clinic during pregnancy ( OR=0.377, 95% CI: 0.173-0.820, P=0.014) were independent protective factors for DOL Ⅱ. Conclusions:Women who were overweight before pregnancy are more likely to suffer from DOL Ⅱ. Extra guidance should be given to this population during early breastfeeding. Attending prenatal breastfeeding consultation and increasing the frequency of breastfeeding in the early postpartum period may prevent DOL.

Perinatal loss leads to an increased risk of psychological diseases when parents were re-pregnants, facing a complex mixture of new hope and uncertainty, and fathers were even more troubled by dual identity, but some parents could still benefit from perinatal loss.Conclusions:At present, China is lack of attention to the parents of perinatal loss of re-pregnancy. Medical staff should respect the differences of parents′ emotional expression, formulate targeted intervention measures, reduce the negative impact of perinatal loss, and guide the generation of positive psychology of the parents of re pregnancy.
Objective To evaluate the accuracy of simple anthropometric parameters in diagnosing obesity in children in Guangzhou. Methods A cross-sectional study, including 465 children aged 6-9 years, was carried out in Guangzhou. Their body height and weight, waist circumference (WC) and hip circumference were measured according to standard procedure. Body mass index (BMI), waist to hip ratio (WHR) and waist-to-height ratio (WHtR) were calculated. Body fat percentage (BF%)was determined by dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry. Multiple regression analysis was applied to evaluate the correlations between age-adjusted physical indicators and BF%, after the adjustment for age. Obesity was defined by BF%. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analyses were performed to assess the diagnostic accuracy of the indicators for childhood obesity. Area under-ROC curves (AUCs) were calculated and the best cut-off point that maximizing'sensitivity+specificity-1'was determined. Results BMI showed the strongest association with BF% through multiple regression analysis. For'per-standard deviation increase' of BMI, BF%increased by 5.3%(t=23.1, P<0.01) in boys and 4.6%(t=17.5, P<0.01) in girls, respectively. The ROC curve analysis indicated that BMI exhibited the largest AUC in both boys (AUC=0.908) and girls (AUC=0.895). The sensitivity was 80.8% in boys and 81.8% in girls, and the specificity was 88.2%in boys and 87.1%in girls. Both the AUCs for WHtR and WC were less than 0.8 in boys and girls. WHR had the smallest AUCs (<0.8) in both boys and girls. Conclusion BMI appeared to be a good predicator for BF%in children aged 6-9 years in Guangzhou.

This paper describes an approach to the approximation of Loop subdivision surfaces for real-time rendering. The approach consists of two phases, which separately construct the approximation geometry and the normal field of a subdivision surface. It first exploits quartic triangular Bézier patches to approximate the geometry of the subdivision surface by interpolating a grid of sampled points. To remedy the artifact of discontinuity of normal fields between adjacent patches, a continuous normal field is then reconstructed by approximating the tangent vector fields of the subdivision surfaces with quartic triangular Bézier patches. For regular triangles, the approach reproduces the associated subdivision patches, quartic three-directional box splines.
Objective To evaluate the effects of Xuebijing injection on inflammatory mediators of patients with severe acute pancreatitis. Methods Using double blind method, 80 cases with severe acute pancreatitis were randomly divided into two groups, with 40 cases in each group. The control group was treated with conventional therapy such as: fasting, fluid replacement, acid inhibition and anti-infection, combined with the continuing injection with the growth hormone release inhibiting 6 mg, ulinastatin 200000u for 7 days. Based on the control group's treatment, the other group was added with Xuebijing injection 50 ml, twice a day for 7days. The plasma levels of prostaglandin Ⅰ2 (PGI2), thromboxane A2 (TXA2), tumor necrosis factor α (TNFα),interleukin-1,6,8 (IL-1,6,8) were compared before and after the treatment in each group and between two groups.Results Compared with the control group, Xuebijing injection group had marked effects on modulating the levels of inflammatory mediators. The levels of PGI2 and PGI2/TXA2 were increased significantly and the levels ofTXA2, TNF2, IL-1,6 and 8 were deceased(P＜0.05)sharply after the treatment. Conclusion Combined with conventional western medicine therapy, Xuebijing injection has the effects of inhibiting and controlling the release of inflammatory mediators on patients with severe acute pancreatitis.
Dynamic color is an important carrier that takes information in some special occupations. However, up to the present, there are no available and objective tests to evaluate dynamic color processing. To investigate the characteristics of dynamic color processing, we adopted two patterns of visual stimulus called "onset-offset" which reflected static color stimuli and "sustained moving" without abrupt mode which reflected dynamic color stimuli to evoke event-related brain potentials (ERPs) in primary color amblyopia patients (abnormal group) and subjects with normal color recognition ability (normal group). ERPs were recorded by Neuroscan system. The results showed that in the normal group, ERPs in response to the dynamic red stimulus showed frontal positive amplitudes with a latency of about 180 ms, a negative peak at about 240 ms and a peak latency of the late positive potential (LPP) in a time window between 290 and 580 ms. In the abnormal group, ERPs in response to the dynamic red stimulus were fully lost and characterized by vanished amplitudes between 0 and 800 ms. No significant difference was noted in ERPs in response to the dynamic green and blue stimulus between the two groups (P>0.05). ERPs of the two groups in response to the static red, green and blue stimulus were not much different, showing a transient negative peak at about 170 ms and a peak latency of LPP in a time window between 350 and 650 ms. Our results first revealed that some subjects who were not identified as color blindness under static color recognition could not completely apperceive a sort of dynamic red stimulus by ERPs, which was called "dynamic red blindness". Furthermore, these results also indicated that low-frequency ERPs induced by "sustained moving" may be a good and new method to test dynamic color perception competence.

Objective:To investigate the protective effects of matrine(MT) preconditioning against hepatic ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats. Methods:Fifty male SD rats were randomly allocated into 5 groups:sham operation(SO) group,ischemia-reperfusion (NS) group and MT preconditioning groups (of 3.75,7.5,15 mg/kg). Rats of NS and MT groups were injected normal saline or MT,respectively; and 15 min later,the pedicales of the left and median liver lobes were clampped for 45 minutes,and reperfused for 40 min. The portal trial were only separated but not obstructed in SO rats. After reperfusion,the serum activity of ALT,AST and LDH was determined,the activity of SOD and content of MDA in liver tissue were examined,and histopathological changes of liver were observed. Results:Compared with those of NS group,the serum levels of ALT,AST,LDH,and the content of MDA in liver tissue of MT groups were lower,and the activity of SOD was higher(P
In order to investigate the expression and functional role of HERG1 K+ channels in leukemic cells and leukemic stem cells (LSCs), RT-PCR was used to detect the HERG1 K+ channels expression in leukemic cells and LSCs. The functional role of HERG1 K+ channels in leukemic cell proliferation was measured by MTT assay, and cell cycle and apoptosis were analyzed by flow cytometry. The results showed that herg mRNA was expressed in CD34+/CD38-, CD123+ LSCs but not in circulating CD34+ cells. Herg mRNA was also up-regulated in leukemia cell lines K562 and HL60 as well as almost all the primary leukemic cells while not in normal peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMNCs) and the expression of herg mRNA was not associated with the clinical and cytogenetic features of leukemia. In addition, leukemic cell proliferation was dramatically inhibited by HERG K+ channel special inhibitor E-4031. Moreover, E-4031 suppressed the cell growth by inducing a specific block at the G1/S transition phase of the cell cycle but had no effect on apoptosis in leukemic cells. The results suggested that HERG1 K+ channels could regulate leukemic cells proliferation and were necessary for leukemic cells to proceed with the cell cycle. HERG1 K+ channels may also have oncogenic potential and may be a biomarker for diagnosis of leukemia and a novel potential pharmacological target for leukemia therapy.

This paper presents a method whereby trace elements in NH(4)Cl-NH(3) medium are adsorbed on activated carbon in a micro-flow-injection (FI) semi-online sorbent extraction preconcentration system and then determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry (GFAAS). The analytical performance of the proposed method for determining Cd, Mn and Pb was studied. A microcolumn packed with activated carbon was used as a preconcentration column (PCC). The metals to be determined were preconcentrated onto the column for 60 s and then rinsed with 0.02% (v/v) HNO(3) and eluted with 30 microl of 2 mol l(-1) HNO(3). Compared with the direct injection of 30 microl of aqueous sample solution, enrichment factor of 32, 26, and 21 and detection limits (3sigma) of 0.4, 4.7, and 7.5 ng l(-1) for Cd, Mn and Pb, respectively, were obtained with 60 s sample loading at 3.0 ml min(-1) for sorbent extraction, 30 microl of eluate injection, and peak area measurement. The precisions (RSD, n=6) were 2.8% at the 0.05 microg l(-1) level for Cd, 3.0% at the 0.3 microg l(-1) level for Mn, and 3.1% at the 0.5 microg l(-1) level for Pb. The experimental results indicate that the procedure can eliminate the fundamental interferences caused by alkali and alkaline earth metals and the application of it to the determination of Cd, Mn and Pb in some water samples is successful.

Objective To study the causes, prophylaxis, and treatment of the severe complications due to transurethral electrovaporization of the prostate (TVP). Methods We analyzed the complications found in 1 910 men with moderate and severe symptoms of prostatism treated with TVP from August 1997 to February 2003 and studied the causes, prophylaxis, and treatment of the severe complications due to TVP. Results Severe complications were found in 78 cases (4.1%). Late mass bleeding in 35 cases (0.18%) was resulted from the abscission of coagulated necrotic tissue of the prostate after TVP. Extraperitoneal water extravasation (hydrocele) in 27 cases (0.14%) was caused by the early incision of the peritoneum in TVP and could be prevented by avoiding early incision of the peritoneum and stopping operation in time. Severe urethral stricture in 9 cases (0.05%) was caused by using thick sheath of cystoscope and cutting the neck of urinary bladder improperly. Urinary bladder explosion in 2 cases (0.01%) was caused by accumulation of air during the process of TVP, but could be protected by removing the air and water in urinary bladder at intervals. Incontinence in 2 cases (0.01%) was resulted from the injured urinary sphincter muscle. Acute renal failure in 3 cases (0.015%) was caused by hypotension. Conclusion Severe complications due to TVP can be prevented and treated. The occurrence rate of severe complications can be decreased by the proper preventive measures and skilled techniques of the operators.
Purpose:To study the methods of treatment of spinalcord implanation medulloblatoma with combined chemotherapy.

The whole treatment included 5 courses and lasted about one and half month.Results:The study involved 6 cases. MRI, whick were performed 2 weeks after the treatment, showed tumors disappeared in 2 cases and 80% shrunk in 4 cases. The tumors completely disappeared after repeated treatments in the 4 cases. Conclusions:Combined chemotherapy is an efficient alternative treatment for spinalcord implanation medulloblatoma.
Objective To evaluate the variation of functional urethra length on urine control,explore a new method to prevent urinary incontinence and seek urodynamic evidence after radical prostatectomy. Methods Sixteen male dogs,matched in body weight,were randomly divided into two groups. Group A were used to test the different rest urethral pressure profile after resection of prostate,resection of distant prostate plus posterior urethra in length of 1.5 cm and 2.0 cm respectively; Group B to test the different rest urethral pressure profile on pedicle myotube in length of 2.0 cm and 1.0 cm using anterior bladder flap respectively after resection of prostate and posterior urethra in length of 2.0 cm. Results The urodynamic indexes fell off while the functional urethra length decurtated gradually in group A,but they went up in group B. The two groups showed significant difference before and after the resection of prostate and distant urethra in length of 2. 0 cm. Conclusion There was a direct ratio between the functional urethra length and the capability of urethral urine control. Reconstruction of functional urethra using anterior bladder flap pedicle myotube is a good choice to treat urinary incontinence after radical prostatectomy.
