Objective：To study the effects of Periplanet americana extract on spleen lymphocytes of H22 Tumor- bearing mice.
Methods：BALB/c mice were administered with low dose, middle dose and high dose of Periplaneta americana extract（50,100,200
mg/kg）by gavage. The positive group was injected with 50 mg/kg cyclophosphamide. After 10-day feeding and injection respectively the
content of T lymphocytes in the spleen, lymphocyte cells, Monocyte cells and granulocyte cells in peripheral blood were measured, and
the anti-tumor rate was calculated. Results：The Periplaneta americana extract could obviously increase the content of CD8+ and the
tumor growth inhibition rate（P<0.05）compared with the normal group. Conclusion：Periplaneta americana extract can inhibit the
growth of H22 liver tumor in mice and its mechanism may be related to the increase of the content of CD8+ in the spleen.

Objective：To observe the effect of ethyl acetate extracts from Geranium strictipes R. Knuth on the isolated guinea-pig
ileum smooth muscle, and to explore the mechanism of its in vitro action. Methods：The normal contraction curve was observed after
the isolated ileum specimens were prepared. Then contraction in smooth muscle caused by Geranium strictipes R. Knuth and three
blockers was recorded. Results：The Geranium strictipes R. Knuth in different doses could accelerate the ileum smooth muscle
contraction of the guinea-pig. The maximum tension, frequency and amplitude induced by 20 and 40 mg/mL extracts had a statistical
difference（P < 0.01）compared with the normal group; and it could resist against ileum smooth muscle relaxation induced by Atropine
and Chlorobenzene. Conclusion：The Geranium strictipes R. Knuth has stimulating effects on ileum smooth muscle extraction of the
guinea-pig, and the contractile effect may be related to M receptor and H1 receptor.

Objective：To construct and identify the eukaryotic expression vector of FLAG-tagged human MTERF3 gene. Methods：
The human MTERF3 gene was amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction（PCR）. The recombinant products of the p3×FLAG-CMVhMTERF3
were gained by T4 DNA ligase connecting MTERF3 gene fragment and eukaryotic expression vector p3×FLAG-CMV-14
with restriction enzymes Hind Ⅲ and BamHⅠ. The recombinant pasmid p3×FLAG-CMV-hMTERF3 were identified by colony PCR,
double restriction enzyme digest and DNA sequencing. Results：A specific band of 1 254 bp was detected from recombinant plasmid
p3×FLAG-CMV-hMTERF3 by digestion of Hind Ⅲ and BamHⅠ. The sequencing and identification showed that homology between
this sequence and the human MTERF3 gene sequence from GenBank was 100%, and the size and the direction of the inserted gene
were right. Conclusion：The eukaryotic expression vector of human MTERF3 was constructed successfully, which may lay the
foundation for a further study of the interaction mechanism between behavior of MTERF3 in tumor cells and its development.

Objective：To explore the relationship between endothelial nitric oxide synthase（eNOS）rs1799983 polymorphism and
blood pressure. Methods：All employees including the retired of a factory in Dali were enrolled in the study. A standardized
questionnaire was distributed to collect information on alcohol consumption, smoking habits and use of medications. And then the
genotypes were categorized by SNaPshot method. Results：The frequencies of rs1799983 GG, GT and TT were 80.3%, 19.0% and
0.7% respectively. There was no significant difference in genotypes and alleles between participants with normal blood pressure and
hypertensive patients（P≥0.21）. However, T allele carriers（GT + TT）compared with GG homozygotes had a significantly higher
systolic and pulse pressure both before and after adjusted for covariates（P≤0.04）. It was found that significant interaction between
rs1799983 polymorphism and low- density lipoprotein cholesterol（LDL- C）had an effect on pulse pressure（Pint = 0.04）. Pulse
pressure of T allele carrier was significantly higher than GG homozygotes as LDL- C levels increased. Conclusion：The eNOS
rs1799983 polymorphism may be associated with blood pressure and affected by LDL-C levels.

Objective：To evaluate the short-term efficacy of percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic discectomy in the treatment of
lumbar disk herniation. Methods：This study selected randomly 30 patients with single-segment lumbar disk herniation on whom
percutaneous transforaminal endoscopic nucleus pulposus discectomy was conducted from February 2015 to June 2016. The clinical
efficacy of treatment was evaluated by using the pain visual analog scale（VAS score）and the criteria of the improved Macnab.
Results：All the surgeries on the 30 patients were successfully completed with the operation time of 60-120 min and blood loss of 30-
60 mL. The postoperative VAS score within one day, one week and three months after surgery was significantly lower than the
preoperative one. The comparative result（P＜0.01） showed significantly statistical differences. According to the criteria of the
improved Macnab evaluation, the excellence rate was much higher with excellent in 23 cases and good in 4 cases, and the rate of
excellent and good was 90%. There were no complications such as dural rupture, nerve root injury, infection and other complications in
all patients, and MRI examination showed that the protrusion of intervertebral discs basically disappeared. Conclusion：Percutaneous
lumbar disc herniation is a safe and effective way to treat the patients with lumbar disc herniation with less trauma, less blood loss,
faster rehabilitation, shorter postoperative hospital stay and other advantages alike.

Objective：To explore the relationships between the expression of visceral adipose tissue- derived serine protease
inhibitor（vaspin）and Chemerin in serum and visceral omental adipose tissue of pregnant women with gestational diabetes mellitus.
Methods：The levels of Vaspin and Chemerin in serum were measured by enzyme-linked immuno sorbent assay（ELISA）. Fasting
plasma glucose（FPG）, fasting insulin（FINS）, total cholesterol（TC）, triglyceride（TG）and c-reactive protein（CRP）were also
detected. The expression of Vaspin and Chemerin in visceral adipose tissue was detected by western blot. Results：Pregnant women
with GDM had higher insulin levels and insulin resistant（IR）than the healthy control group. Serum Vaspin and Chemerin levels were
found to be significantly increased in patients with GDM compared with healthy control subjects. Serum Chemerin levels were
positively associated with TC, TG and CRP, while Vaspin levels in serum were positively associated with body weight before pregnancy
and BMI at delivery, HDL, FINS and HOMA-IR. The expression levels of Chemerin in obese pregnant women obviously increased.
Conclusion: Vaspin and Chemerin are closely related to GDM risk factors, obesity and lipid metabolism disorders in pregnant women.

Objective：To compare the improvements of hearing function in tympanoplasty with titanium artificial ear bone and with
autologous bone. Methods: The study was first a retrospective review of the medical records of 71 patients during the period from April
2013 to April 2015, of whom 31 patients underwent tympanoplasty with titanium artificial ear bone while 40 patients with autologous
bone. Then we compare the air conduction hearing threshold and the air-bone gap（ABG）in the pre-operation and within six months
after the surgery. Results：There were significant differences in 31 cases with titanium artificial bones in which 0.5-4.0 kHz average
air conduction hearing thresholds were（56.35 ± 11.56）dB pre-operatively and（37.07 ± 10.13）dB post-operatively, and ABG were
（35.13 ± 9.13）dB pre-operatively and（15.85±4.12）dB post-operatively（P<0.05）. Significant differences could also be detected in
the other 40 patients with autologous bones who had 0.5-4.0 kHz average air conduction hearing thresholds（58.16 ±13.15）dB preoperatively
and（43.48 ± 13.03）dB post-operatively, and air-bone gaps（30.83 ± 8.88）dB pre-operatively and（18.96 ± 5.41）dB
post-operatively（P<0.05）. Mean ABG of the two groups were narrowed to 19.28 dB and 11.87 dB post-operatively, respectively.
Comparison showed that the group with titanium artificial bones had a better improvement in hearing function post-operatively than the
group with autogenous bones. There were significant difference in the comparison（P<0.05）. Conclusion：In the middle ear surgery
titanium artificial bone is an ideal prosthesis in ossicular chain reconstruction which can help restore and improve the patient's hearing
function much better.

Objective：To observe effects of Wang-bi detoxification herbal medication on T-lymphocyte subgroups of patients with
Rheumatoid Arthritis, and to explore the mechanism of it efficacy. Methods：A comparative study was conducted among 200 patients
including inpatients and outpatients who were divided into two groups randomly. 100 patients in the control group took Indometacin
Enteric-coated Tablets with 25 mg every time and once a day, and Methotrexate Tablets with 7.5 mg every time and once a week, while
100 patients in the treatment group took Wang-bi detoxification herbal medication with 200 mL each time and twice a day. After two
courses of eight weeks, we compared CD4 + and CD8 + of the two groups before and after the treatment. Results：There was no
significant difference with regard to the comparison of CD4+ and CD8+ of each group before the treatment（P＞0.05）. However, after
the treatment both of the groups had a lower CD4+ and a higher CD8 and a lower ratio of CD4+ to CD8+. Comparison between the two
groups also showed no significant difference（P＞0.05）. Conclusion：Patients with RA has an autoimmune disorder. Wang- bi
detoxification herbal medication can help the distribution of their T-lymphocyte subsets and help them keep a stable immune system,
and can have a similar immunosuppressive effect as that produced by the therapy of MTX in combination with other medicines.

Objective：To study the value of ANCA in the detection of systemic lupus erythematosus disease activity. Methods：The
serum of 53 patients was tested by indirect immunofluorescence（IIF）, and then the specific target antigen protein 3（PR3）and
myeloperoxidase（MPO）in sera of patients with ANCA were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay（ELASA）. Laboratory
indexes related to the disease activity of SLE patients were detected. Results：ANCA were detected in 21 patients with SLE: the
positive rate was 39.6%, 20 had pANCA and one Cytoplasm antibody（cANCA）. Target antigen was neither MPO nor PR3. Compared
with ANCA negative group, there was a statistically significant difference in regard to the SLE disease activity in ANCA positive group
（P<0.01）. And the anti- dsDNA antibody was positive, complement（C3, C4） decreased, ESR increased and renal injury was
significantly higher in the positive group than in the negative group. So the result was statistically significant（P<0.05）. Conclusion：
ANCA positive in the activity of SLE disease has a certain value and can be used as one of the indicators to determine the activity of
the disease.

Objective：To survey the physical characteristics of nineteen ethnic minorities and the Han ethnicity in Yunnan; to
discuss the relationships and differences in physical characteristics among the chosen groups. Methods：By the way of literary review
this study combined the cluster analysis and factor analysis together to analyze the physical characteristics of 19 minorities and Han
ethnicity in Yunnan. Results：Minorities in Yunnan can be assembled into three categories in terms of their different physiques: the
one originating from Di and Qiang minorities, the one living in well-located and easy-accessing areas, and the one consisting of
aboriginals or those inhabiting in severely-isolated regions. The structure of constitutional factor is similar to the result of cluster
analysis. Demographic factors and geographic factors have certain accordance with the results of cluster analysis. Conclusion：
Nationality origin is still an important factor which influences the physical characteristics of minorities in Yunnan. Because of the
different population, administrative region and the traffic in history the physical characteristics of minorities in Yunnan are also
different. However, those living in the areas connected by roads almost have the similar physical characteristics.

Objective：To analyze the relationship between the influential factors and the occurrence of colostomy complications．
Methods：A retrospective analysis was performed of the medical records of 225 patients who had undergone colostomy in the Affiliated
Hospital of Dali University from 2013 to 2015 to examine the relationship between the incidence of colostomy complications and such
factors as age, gender, nutritional status, albumin and types of stoma. Results：Fifty- one patients of the total number had
complications with an incidence rate of 22.7%: colostomy complications correlated positively with age; gender had no significant effect
on incidence of complications. The incidence rate of complications in the patients with normal nutrition was lower than in the patients
with consumption of thin or obese; the lower albumin was, the higher the possibility of occurrence of stoma complications was; the
complication rate in loop colostomy was higher than that in end stoma. Conclusion：Colostomy complications are closely associated
with age, nutritional status, albumin and types of stoma. Good perioperative preparations need to be done based on specific individual
patient situation, which can help reduce the possibilities of stoma complication.
