RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the intelligence status of children aged 10 - 12 in rural areas of Linxia Hui Autonomous Prefecture (referred to as Linxia) in Gansu Province.Methods:From September to November 2019, a cross-sectional study was carried out to investigate the intelligence status of children aged 10 to 12 in 8 counties (cities) of Linxia. Chinese Raven's Progressive Matrices (rural version) was used for intelligence test and children's intelligence quotient (IQ) was calculated by regular mold to evaluate children's intelligence level.Results:A total of 1 721 children in Linxia were tested for intelligence, with an average IQ of 103.2. Among them, low intelligence (≤69) accounted for 1.0% (18/1 721), borderline (70 - 79) accounted for 3.0% (52/1 721), middle and lower (80 - 89) accounted for 8.4% (144/1 721), moderate (90 - 109) accounted for 56.6% (974/1 721), middle and upper (110 - 119) accounted for 21.9% (377/1 721), excellent (120 - 129) accounted for 7.8% (135/1 721), extremely excellent (≥130) accounted for 1.2% (21/1 721). There were 635, 598 and 488 children aged 10, 11 and 12, respectively, with an average IQ of 106.1, 103.3 and 99.2. There were 919 males and 802 females, with an average IQ of 102.9 and 103.4, respectively.Conclusion:In 2019, the intelligence of children aged 10 to 12 in rural areas of Linxia has reached the moderate level.
RESUMEN
High-fat diet (HFD) feeding is a risk factor for kidney damage with limited treatment options. This study explored the effect of total glucosides of paeony (TGP) for treating obesity-related kidney damage. C57BL/6 mice fed with HFD were used for in vivo experiments. Body weight, lipid and renal function indicators were measured. Hematoxylin and eosin, Masson, Sirius Red and F4/80 immunohistochemical staining were performed. Fibrosis levels, inflammatory factors, MyD88, IκB and p-Jun NH2-terminal kinase (JNK) were detected. SV40 cells were incubated with palmitic acid, transfected with siRNA MyD88 and/or treated with TGP. The expression of MyD88, IκB, p-JNK, fibrosis and inflammatory factors were detected. TGP considerably decreased HFD-induced body weight gain and serum lipid concentration but improved renal function. In addition, TGP inhibited renal fibrosis and inflammation and reduced MyD88 and p-JNK levels, whereas increased IκB levels. Moreover, silencing MyD88 decreased p-JNK levels while increasing IκB levels which may be the mechanism of TGP treatment. Our findings demonstrated that TGP treatment can ameliorate HFD-induced kidney injury via regulating JNK and IκB signals mediated by MyD88.

Through the investigation, the research group found that there are problems in online teaching, including teachers' difficulty in applying the teaching platform efficiently, limited Internet speed and hardware equipment, insufficient understanding and attention of individual teachers to online teaching, insufficient interaction between teachers and students, and difficulty in carrying out experiments and practical teaching. In this regard, the research group proposed countermeasures to change online teaching concept, reform online teaching methods, improve the function of online teaching platform, and optimize online course resources in order to timely summarize the online teaching situation, improve the shortcomings and promote advanced experience, and ensure the quality of follow-up online teaching.
RESUMEN
Objective:To analyze the use of policy tools for rural-oriented tuition-waived medical student training policy and to provide relevant suggestions for the continuous promotion of the policy.Methods:With "rural-oriented tuition-waived medical students" as the key word, the policy texts were collected and screened from government portals. Using ROTHWELL disaggregated method to build the rural order directional medical students training policy analysis framework, applying Excel 2019 software for classification and coding of policy texts.Results:A total of 13 rural-oriented medical student training policy texts were screened and obtained. The X dimension of the policy analysis framework for rural order-oriented medical student training included three policy tools, namely, supply, environment and demand, and the Y dimension included three policy objectives, namely, available, usable, and retained. In X dimension, environmental policy tools were most frequently used. In Y dimension, the "retained" target had the highest frequency of use.Conclusion:There were differences in the frequency of using policy tools for targeted medical student cultivation in different policies. The frequency of using environmental tools is higher, which highlighted the attention of the state to medical and health services. The internal structure of policy tools is unbalanced, so the configuration of supply-oriented policy tools should be optimized, and the construction of demand-oriented policy tools should be emphasized. It is suggested to continuously optimize the combination of policy tools, improve the compatibility between policy tools and rural order-oriented medical student training, and pay attention to the sustainability of policy tools.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the value of common clinical symptoms and signs of knee joint, elbow joint and lumbar spine in clinical diagnosis of endemic skeletal fluorosis.Methods:From August to October 2020, a cross-sectional survey of skeletal fluorosis was conducted in 8 administrative villages in Gaotai County and 5 administrative villages in Gaolan County, which were serious areas of drinking-water-borne endemic fluorosis in Gansu Province. Individuals aged ≥25 years old, residing for more than 1 year, and exhibiting symptoms and signs of the motor system in the affected villages were selected as the survey subjects. According to the X-ray diagnostic criteria in the "Diagnostic Standard for Endemic Skeletal Fluorosis" (WS/T 192-2021), they were divided into skeletal fluorosis group and non skeletal fluorosis group. The basic information of the two groups was collected, and orthopedic examination and digital radiography (DR) were performed. Multivariate logistic regression model was used to fit the effects of knee joint, elbow joint and lumbar spine related symptoms and signs on the diagnosis of skeletal fluorosis. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve was drawn to evaluate the predictive effectiveness of the model for skeletal fluorosis, and Kappa test was used to evaluate the consistency between the model and X-ray diagnosis (the gold standard for diagnosis of skeletal fluorosis). Results:A total of 970 subjects were included in the investigation, including 501 in the skeletal fluorosis group and 469 in the non skeletal fluorosis group. Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that elbow joint flexion and extension range of motion (ROM) decreased by ≥45° [odds ratio ( OR) = 2.73, 95% confidence interval ( CI): 2.00 - 3.72], elbow joint rotation ROM decreased by ≥30° ( OR = 3.34, 95% CI: 1.96 - 5.68), ulnar nerve injury symptoms ( OR = 3.77, 95% CI: 3.21 - 4.42), intermittent claudication ( OR = 2.72, 95% CI: 1.48 - 4.99), and positive straight leg elevation test ( OR = 1.69, 95% CI: 1.09 - 2.61) had certain impact on the diagnosis of skeletal fluorosis. The area under the ROC curve was 0.88, and the model had a good predictive ability for the diagnosis of skeletal fluorosis. After Kappa test, the Kappa value was 0.61, which suggested that the prediction of skeletal fluorosis by this model was in good agreement with X-ray diagnosis. Conclusions:Elbow joint flexion and extension limitation, elbow joint rotation limitation, ulnar nerve injury, intermittent claudication, and positive straight leg elevation test have certain diagnostic value for skeletal fluorosis. The combined diagnosis of these signs has good predictive ability for skeletal fluorosis.
RESUMEN
Objective:To investigate the epidemiological situation of drinking water-type endemic fluorosis in Gansu Province, and scientifically evaluate the effectiveness of water improvement and fluoride reduction projects in preventing and controlling the disease.Methods:The drinking water-type endemic fluorosis areas in Gansu Province were divided into five regions according to different ecological types: the Longzhong Loess Plateau Hilly Area in central Gansu, the Longdong Loess Plateau Gully Area in eastern Gansu, the Longnan Qinling Zhongshan Canyon Area in southern Gansu, the Gobi area of the Hexi Desert, and the Alpine Grassland Meadow Area in southern Gansu. In 2021, a survey was conducted on the basic situation, running situation of the water improvement and fluoride reduction projects, fluoride content in drinking water(fluorine ion-selective electrode), and the prevalence of dental fluorosis (Dean) among children aged 8 to 12 in all drinking water-type endemic fluorosis villages in the five regions. The pertinent assessments were executed in accordance with national guidelines such as the "Standards for Drinking Water Quality" (GB 5749-2006) and "Diagnosis of Dental Fluorosis" (WS/T 208-2011).Results:A total of 2 000 villages in drinking water-type endemic fluorosis areas were monitored, among which 1 999 villages had implemented water improvement and fluoride reduction projects, with a coverage rate of 99.95% (1 999/2 000). All water improvement and fluoride reduction projects were operating normally, with no intermittent operation or scrapping. A total of 34 616 children aged 8 to 12 were investigated for dental fluorosis. The detection rate of dental fluorosis was 4.18% (1 448/34 616), and the dental fluorosis index was 0.09. There was a statistically significant difference in the detection rate of dental fluorosis among children of different ages (χ 2 = 69.77, P < 0.001). The difference in the detection rate of dental fluorosis among children of different ecological types of areas was statistically significant (χ 2 = 775.11, P < 0.001). The dental fluorosis index of children aged 8 - 12 was significantly correlated with the historical water fluoride level ( r = 0.29, P = 0.042). The water improvement time in the Gobi area of the Hexi Desert was significantly correlated with the detection rate of dental fluorosis in local children ( r = - 0.48, P = 0.023). Conclusions:In 2021, the prevention and control of drinking water-type endemic fluorosis in all villages in Gansu Province has reached the national control standards. However, due to the different ecological characteristics and changes in water source distribution in different ecological types of areas, it is still necessary to further strengthen the monitoring of the condition of drinking water-type endemic fluorosis in all the affected villages and consolidate the existing prevention and control achievements.
RESUMEN
AIM: By analyzing the effect of gambogenic acid (GNA) on the mRNA expression profile of melanoma xenograft model mice, the possible mechanism of GNA in the treatment of melanoma was explored. METHODS: The inhibitory effect of GNA on melanoma cells was studied by measuring the cell survival rate by MTT method in vitro and observing the cell morphology under an inverted microscope. In the in vivo experiment, the effect of GNA on the growth of xenografted tumors in melanoma mice was observed by comparing the results of HE (hematoxylin-eosin) staining and immunohistochemistry (Ki-67), and the tumor weight and tumor weight ratio were recorded. RNA-seq sequencing technology was used to sequence the GNA medium-dose group and the model group, and the screened mRNAs were analyzed by GO and KEGG, and finally the screening results of differentially expressed genes were verified by real-time quantitative fluorescent PCR. RESULTS: After different doses of GNA acted on the melanoma mouse model, a large area of necrosis occurred in the tumor tissue of the model mouse, and the tumor growth was significantly inhibited. A total of 36 differentially expressed mRNAs were identified by mRNA sequencing, of which 30 were up-regulated and 6 were down-regulated. The possible functions of the mRNAs were predicted according to the genomic adjacency analyzed by GO and KEGG. The expression of the selected differential mRNAs was further verified by real-time quantitative PCR technology. The results showed that the mRNA expressions of Cidec, Ces1d, Mylk4, and Igkv9-123 were up-regulated, and the mRNA expressions of Ryr3 and Hapln1 were down-regulated. CONCLUSION: GNA can inhibit the proliferation of melanoma cells in vitro and in vivo, and its mechanism is related to the regulation of cytokine-cytokine receptor interaction, NF-κB, MAPK, and other pathways of mRNA expression.
RESUMEN
AIM: To investigate the effects and protective mechanism of Tianma Gouteng (TGY) against rotenone (Rot) damage in PC12 cells. METHODS: PC12 cells were treated with Rot to establish nerve injury model and cell survival rate was determined by MTT colorimetry to determine the optimal modeling concentration of Rot and effective intervention concentration of TGY. Lipid reactive oxygen species (ROS) were detected by flow cytometry and fluorescence intensity was observed by inverted fluorescence microscope. The biochemical methods were used to detect, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione (GSH) levels and activity and the contents of malondialdehyde (MDA). Transmission electron microscopy observed morphological change of mitochondria and protein expression of glutathione peroxidase 4 (GPX4), long chain lipoyl-coa synthase 4 (ACSL4) and lysophospholipid cholinyltransferase 3 (LPCAT3) were detected by western blot. RESULTS: The survival rate of cells treated with 0.6 μmol/L Rot for 24 h was close to 50%(56.7%±9.9%). Pretreatment with TGY for 12 h could inhibit the damage of Rot. At the same time, the leakage rate of lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) was reduced in a dose-dependent manner. Lipid ROS content increased after the treatment of Rot, whereas pretreatment with TGY effectively reduced lipid ROS content, decreased MDA level and increased SOD activity and GSH level in damaged cells in cells damaged by Rot. Transmission electron microscopy showed that the mitochondria of PC12 cells were shrunk after the damage of 0.6 μmol/L Rot and the mitochondrial morphology of PC12 cells was improved to some extent after preprotection of TGY compared with normal group. Western blot results showed that TGY pretreatment could increase the expression of GPX4 and reduce the expression of ACSL4 and LPCAT3 after damage of Rot to a certain extent. CONCLUSION: TGY can improve nerve damage by up-regulating the expression of GPX4 protein, down-regulating the expression of ACSL4 and LPCAT3 protein to inhibit the oxidation of unsaturated fatty acids, reduce the level of lipid peroxidation and ROS content.
RESUMEN
The measurement of serum alkaline phosphatase (ALP) levels has been widely used in the clinical setting. However, isolated elevation of serum ALP levels is also commonly seen and needs to be extensiuely evaluated Herein, we present a case of gastric adenocarcinoma with disseminated carcinomatosis of the bone marrow (DCBM). In this case, isolated elevation of serum ALP levels was the only clinical manifestation with no other notable symptom. Additionally, imaging studies including whole body computed tomography (CT) and positron emission tomography-CT (PET-CT) were all negative, which resulted in the misdiagnosis of Paget′s disease of bone initially. This highlights that malignancies involving bones presenting with isolated elevation of serum ALP levels might be misdiagnosed in asymptomatic individuals.

RESUMEN
Medical curriculum integration is of great significance for reforming traditional medical education models and cultivating new medical talents with competency. On the basis of reviewing the concepts and development history of medical curriculum integration in China, this article sorts out three relatively mature medical curriculum integration models based on the practice of medical education reform in China, namely, organ-system-based curriculum model, and problem-based curriculum model and modular curriculum integration model. It also points out the difficulties of the current curriculum integration reform in medical colleges and universities from the aspects of the construction of teaching staff, the construction of integrated curriculum teaching materials, the design and connection of curriculum, and the assessment and evaluation. Finally, we should deeply analyze the concept of curriculum integration and create a curriculum model suitable for the reality of China's medical education in practice, hoping to provide reference for the practice of medical curriculum integration reform in China.
RESUMEN
OBJECTIVE: To study the improvement effect and related mechanism of pyragrel sodium on nerve function of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model rats. METHODS: Totally 72 SD rats were randomly divided into sham operation group, model group, positive control group (dizocilpine 0.8 mg/kg), pyragrel sodium low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose groups (20, 30, 45 mg/kg), with 12 rats in each group. Except sham operation group received sham operation, rats in the other groups were treated with middle cerebral artery ligation to induce cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury model. The rats in the sham operation group and the model group were injected with the constant volume of normal saline, for consecutive 6 d, and the interval of administration was 24 hours. After 24 h reperfusion and last medication, neurological deficit score and postural reflex score in rats were evaluated. The situation of cerebral injury (including whole brain, insular cortex, putamen, striatum, somatic cortex, amygdala, motor cortex) was evaluated by using micropositron emission tomography. The rats were sacrificed, and the situation of cerebral infarction was observed by TTC and cerebral infarction volume was calculated. Na+-K+-ATPase, Ca2+-ATPase activity and Glu content were detected by ELISA. RESULTS: Compared with sham operation group, neurological deficit score and postural reflex score increased significantly in model group 24 h after ischemia-reperfusion and after last medication (P<0.05 or P<0.01). After 24 hours of cerebral ischemia-reperfusion and the last medication, SUV of brain tissue, SUV ratio of right left brain of different cerebral areas were decreased significantly (P<0.01). After last medication, the percentage of cerebral infarction volume was increased significantly (P<0.01); the activities of Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase were decreased significantly (P<0.01), while Glu content was increased significantly (P<0.01). Compared with model group, above indexes of pyragrel sodium low-dose, medium-dose and high-dose group, positive control group were all improved significantly (P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Pyragrel sodium can improve cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury and nerve function, which is related to the activity up-regulation of Na+-K+-ATPase and Ca2+-ATPase, the down-regulation of Glu content.
RESUMEN
INTRODUCTION: All adult medulloblastoma (AMB) patients should be treated with craniospinal irradiation (CSI) postoperatively. Because of the long irradiation range, multiple radiation fields must be designed for conventional radiotherapy technology. CSI can be completed in only one session with helical tomotherapy (HT). We evaluated the dose of HT, volumetric intensity modulated arc therapy (VMAT), and three-dimensional conformal radiotherapy (3D-CRT) of AMB and the results of 5 cases of AMB treated with HT. METHODS: Complete craniospinal and posterior cranial fossa irradiation with HT, VMAT, and 3D-CRT and dose evaluation were performed. And results of 5 cases of AMB treated with HT were evaluated. RESULTS: A large volume of tissue was exposed to low dose radiation in the organs at risk (OAR), while a small volume was exposed to high dose radiation with HT. The conformity and uniformity of the targets were good with HT and VMAT, and the volume of targets exposed to high dose with VMAT was larger than that of HT. The uniformity of 3D-CRT was also good, but the dose conformity was poor. The main toxicity was hematologic toxicity, without 4th-degree bone marrow suppression. There was 3rd-degree inhibition in the white blood cells, hemoglobin, and platelets. The three female patients suffered menstrual disorders during the course of radiation. Two female patients with heavy menstruation suffered 3rd-degree anemia inhibition, and 2 patients suffered amenorrhea after radiotherapy. Although menstrual cycle was normal, the third patient was not pregnant. CONCLUSION: CSI with HT is convenient for clinical practice, and the side effects are mild. With good conformity and uniformity, VMAT can also be used for selection in CSI. For poor conformity, 3D-CRT should not be the priority selection for CSI. In female patients, the ovaries should be protected.

This study is to analyze the radiation dose of head, body and tail of hippocampus (HC) of nasopharyngeal carcinoma (NPC) patients treated with intensity modulated radiotherapy (IMRT). Evaluate cognitive function of patients with Wechsler adult intelligence scale-Chinese revised (WAIS-CR). HC were segmented into HC head (HH), HC body (HB) and HC tail (HT) and the indexes were then analyzed. WAIS-CR was tested before and 3months after radiotherapy. The mean radiation dose of left and right HC was (1147 ± 976)cGy, (1011 ± 602)cGy respectively. The radiation dose and the volume exposed in different dose of HH, HB and HT decreased in turn. For 5 patients, before and after radiotherapy, the regular-order score was 8.60 ± 1.34, 8.0 ± 1.00 (P = 0.43), while the reverse-order score was 5.80 ± 0.84, 5.20 ± 0.84 (P = 0.07). The radiation dose of HH, HB and HT was different, and the radiation dose of HH was the highest, which should be emphasized especially.

Immunohistochemical method was used to detect the positive expression of NHERF3 protein,and specific expression was detected by Western-blot.Patients were further divided into high NHERF3 group and low NHERF3 group according to median expression of NHERF3 protein,and each group had 24 cases.The expressions of proliferation,invasion and autophagy genes in tumor tissues were detected by fluorescent quantitative PCR.Results The positive rate of NHERF3 protein and the expression of NHERF3 protein in renal carcinoma tissue was significantly lower than that in paracancerous tissue(P<0.05).Expressions of proliferation genes such as k-Ras,c-Myc,TRPC1 mRNA in low NHERF3 group were higher than those in high NHERF3 group:141.74 ± 18.95 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00, 135.88 ± 16.32 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00, 137.21 ± 16.98 vs.100.00 ± 0.00;MIIP,FOXO1 mRNA levels were lower than those in high NHERF3 group: 43.19 ± 5.88 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00, 38.76 ± 4.51 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00; expressions of invasion genes such as CD74, Fascin, MACC1, TRPM8 mRNA were significantly higher than those in high NHERF3 group:152.18 ± 17.64 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00, 146.29 ± 17.63 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00, 139.76 ± 15.82 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00,150.47 ± 17.95 vs.100.00 ± 0.00;expressions of autophagy genes such as Beclin-1,LC3 mRNA were significantly lower than those in high NHERF3 group: 63.21 ± 7.09 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00, 56.28 ± 7.15 vs. 100.00 ± 0.00; EZH2 mRNA level was higher than that in high NHERF3 group:159.47 ± 17.82 vs.100.00 ± 0.00,and there were significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusions The positive rate of NHERF3 protein expression and the amount of protein expression in renal carcinoma tissue is increased, and the specific expression is closely related to tumor proliferation, invasion and activity of autophagy.
RESUMEN
To investigate the relationship between single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) of CACNA1C (SNPs rs58619945, rs7316246 and rs216008) and susceptibility of chronic spontaneous urticaria (CSU) as well as the curative effect of non-sedating antihistamine drugs. Methods: Peripheral blood were extracted from 191 CSU patients to collect DNA. Urticaria Activity Score 7 (UAS7) and Dermatology Life Quality Index (DLQI) changes were collected from these patients with different non-sedating antihistamine drugs. PubMed retrieval system was used to select the 3 SNPs (rs58619945, rs7316246 and rs216008) of CACNA1C. Susceptibility of CSU and curative effect of non-sedating antihistamine drugs (desloratadine, mizolastine, fisofenadine) in 189 CSU patients and 105 controls with different SNPs were compared with Chi-squared test. Data of 105 southern Chinese controls were extracted from the 1 000 genome database. Results: Frequency of rs58619945 G allele in the CSU patients was significantly higher than that in the controls [OR(95%CI)=0.660(0.470-0.925), P=0.016]. However, there was no significant differences in rs7316246 and rs216008 between the CSU patients and the controls. Meanwhile there was no significant difference in general curative effect of the 3 drugs in the 3 SNPs (rs58619945: OR=0.843, P=0.454; rs7316246: OR=2.103, P=0.102; rs216008: OR=0.237, P=0.363). There was significant difference in different alleles of rs216008 in the patients administered by desloratadine [OR(95%CI)=0.480(0.247-0.933), P=0.029]. No difference was shown in the 3 SNPs in patients administered by mizolastine. Conclusion: The rs58619945 A/G might be related to susceptibility of CSU, and the rs216008 mutation might affect drug response of desloratadine.

This study is to explore the effect of total flavonoids from Radix Tetrastigmae (TF) against hepatic cancer and discuss the acting mechanism. Proliferation of HepG2 cells was promoted by PGE2 and Butaprost. Using AH6809 as the positive control, the inhibitory effect of TF on additional cell line was detected through a CCK-8 assay, the apoptosis rate was detected by flow cytometry, and the nuclear morphology of cells were observed by Hochest33258 staining. Then PCR was applied to determine the mRNA expression. The corresponding Protein expression were determined by Western Blot. The effects of TF on the body weight, tumor growth volume and tumor inhibition rate were observed in nude mice model of human hepatocellular carcinoma by vivo experiments. The results showed TF had an obvious inhibitory effect on HepG2 cells with a significant dose-dependent manner (P<0.01). Pyknosis was found under the fluorescence microscope after TF treatment for 24h by Hochest33258 staining. Typical features of apoptosis were observed in HepG2 cells treated with TF and the apoptosis rate increased with increase of concentration of the TF. mRNA expression levels of GSK-3ß, Akt, VEGF, COX-2 and ß-catenin were down regulated greatly by the TF in HepG2 cells. Moderate and high concentrations of TF led to an obvious down regulation of GSK-3ß, p-GSK-3ß, Akt, p-Akt, VEGF, COX-2 and ß-catenin in HepG2 cells, while p-ß-catenin was up regulated. The tumor inhibition rates with high, medium and low dose of TF were 64.07%, 53.64%, 46.69%, respectively. The inhibitory effect of total flavonoids on tumor growth in mice was better than that of CTX, and the inhibitory effect of TF on tumor growth was less than CTX. TF exhibited a significant inhibitory effect on HepG2 cells, promoting the apoptosis of HepG2 cells in a dose-dependent manner. TF was also regulatory of the COX-2-Wnt/ß-catenin signaling pathway, which was presumed to be the working mechanism of Tetrastigmae.
RESUMEN
Objective@#To investigate the effect of icariin (ICA) on the bisphenol A (BPA)-enhanced proliferation function of thyroid carcinoma cell B-CPAP and underlying mechanism.@*Methods@#The proliferation of Gastric B-CPAP cell line was evaluated by cell counting kit-8 (CCK-8). Apoptosis and ROS expression in B-CPAP cells were detected by flow cytometry. The expression of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and malondialdehyde (MDA) in B-CPAP cells were measured by individual assay kits. The expressions of Bcl-2 and γ-HA2X were detected by Western blot. SPSS 18.0 software was used to analyze the data.@*Results@#B-CPAP cell activity was promoted by treatment with 3×10-7mol/L BPA for 48 h, with significant difference in absorbance between BPA and control groups (1.089±0.053 vs 0.935±0.010, P<0.05). The cell activities of BPA+ ICA25, BPA+ ICA50, BPA+ ICA100 and BPA+ ICA200 groups was 0.780±0.036, 1.007±0.050, 0.958±0.033 and 0.625±0.064, respectively (all P<0.01). The proliferation of B-CPAP cells treated with BPA for 72 hours showed a similar trend to 48 hours. There was no significant difference between all treatment groups in 24 hours. The apoptosis rate was (19.272±0.186)% in BPA-treated cells, and was (22.412±0.238)% in control cells (P<0.05). The apoptosis rates of BPA+ ICA50 and BPA+ ICA200 groups were (23.688±0.412)% and (30.270±0.696)%, respectively (P<0.01). The intracellular accumulation of ROS in BPA, BPA+ ICA50, and BPA+ ICA200 groups were 806±21, 1 772±37, 2 041±16, respectively (P<0.01). The expressions of anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 in control, BPA, BPA+ ICA50, BPA+ ICA200 groups were 7 120±151, 9 801±286, 5 902±171 and 4 203±216, respectively (P<0.01).@*Conclusion@#BPA can promote the proliferation of thyroid carcinoma B-CPAP cells and decrease the apoptosis of cells, and this effect can be inhibited by ICA. The possible mechanism is to induce high expression of intracellular ROS and inhibit the expression of antioxidase system, leading to cell oxidative damage, thereby inducing apoptosis.

Objective To compare and evaluate the methods of building model of cervical spondylosis of vertebral artery type (CSA)rats by measuring the learning and memory ability,anxiety and depression,and degree of nervous tension of three kinds of CSA model rats.Methods We randomly divided 120 rats into mixed modeling group,bone graft compression modeling group,mechanical balance disorder modeling group,and blank control group with 30 rats in each.Morris water maze,elevated plus maze test and open field test were used to detect and compare the rats’abilities of learning and memory,anxiety and depression,and degree of nervous tension.We then evaluated the three CSA rat models.Results Compared with those in the blank group,the learning and memory abilities in the mixed modeling, bone graft compression and mechanical balance disorder modeling rats were significantly decreased,the anxiety and depression and degree of nervous tension were significantly increased (P<0.05).Compared with bone graft compression and mechanical balance disorder modeling groups,the mixed modeling group could restore the characteristics of CSA.Conclusion The three kinds of modeling methods can successfully reproduce the CSA animal model;the mixed modeling is superior and thus worthy of promotion.
