Objective To study the effects of deliberated hypotension combined with acute simple hemodilution on blood loss,postoperative hemoglubin of the patients undergoing spinal side(back) protrude correction(SSP).Methods Twenty four ASA grade Ⅰ to Ⅱ patients undergoing elective SSP were randomly divided into two groups:control group(n=12) and hypotensive group(n=12).The all patients received with general anesthesia.In the hypotensive group:acute simple hemodilution was accomplished with infusion of lactated Ringer's solution and Gelofusine of as three times as blood loss.Deliberated hypotensin was induced and maintained with 0 01% sodium nitroprusside 2～6?g/kg/min iv.Intraoperative blood loss,blood transfused volume during operation and postoperative hemoglobin were recorded and compared between both groups.Results Blood loss was about 51% lower in the deliberated hypotensive group than that in the control group at the end operation.The average volume of transfused blood during operation was(1200?140)ml in control group,blood transfusion was(400?128)ml in the hypotensive groups.Conclusion Deliberated hypotension combined with acute simple hemodilution can significantly decrease the intraoperative blood loss and the SSP operation can be better tolerated for the indicated patients.

Objective　To study the effects of deliberated hypotension combined with acute simple hemodilution on blood loss,postoperative hemoglubin of the patients undergoing spinal side(back) protrude correction(SSP).Methods　Twenty four ASA grade Ⅰ to Ⅱ patients undergoing elective SSP were randomly divided into two groups:control group(n＝12) and hypotensive group(n＝12).The all patients received with general anesthesia.In the hypotensive group:acute simple hemodilution was accomplished with infusion of lactated Ringer's solution and Gelofusine of as three times as blood loss.Deliberated hypotensin was induced and maintained with 0.01% sodium nitroprusside 2～6μg/kg/min iv.Intraoperative blood loss,blood transfused volume during operation and postoperative hemoglobin were recorded and compared between both groups.Results　 Blood loss was about 51% lower in the deliberated hypotensive group than that in the control group at the end operation.The average volume of transfused blood during operation was(1200±140)ml in control group,blood transfusion was(400±128)ml in the hypotensive groups.Conclusion Deliberated hypotension combined with acute simple hemodilution can significantly decrease the intraoperative blood loss and the SSP operation can be better tolerated for the indicated patients.

The author made a deep analysis to the enrollment situation in the College of Continuing Education, Henan University of TCM, in 2008. The analysis showed that the enrollment source of the undergraduate students is better than the junior college student; Enrollment source of the preponderance professions of TCM such as traditional Chinese medicine, Integrated Chinese and Western medicine, acupuncture and moxibustion and Tuina of Chinese medicine, and science of Chinese material medica is better than non-preponderance profession; The enrollment source of local city is better than other cities. Thus we advocate: paying adequate attention to the enrollment of undergraduate students, increasing the teaching level; setting up preponderance professions of TCM, highlighting characteristics of schooling ; digging enrollment source of local area, and expanding enrollment source from other cities.

The bacterium Streptomyces peucetius produces doxorubicin and daunorubicin,and the two widely used anticancer antibiotics.Two open reading frames,drrA and drrB,were proposed to encode for an ABC (ATP-binding cassette) type of permease that carries out export of the antibiotic ABC (ATP binding cassette)-type transporter for the exportation of these two antibiotics.In this paper,the structure,expression and interaction of DrrA and DrrB protein and the research progress of the assembly and multi drug efflux function of DrrAB are briefly reviewed.

BACKGROUND:Recent studies have demonstrated that surgical trauma leads to lipid peroxidation in erythrocytes.However,injured erythrocytes play an important role in thrombosis following replacement.OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the influence of artificial total knee replacement on the lipid peroxdation in erythrocytes,and the prophylactic treatment of vitamin E and fructose 1,6 diphosphate(FDP)on it.DESIGN,TIME AND SETTING:Contrast clinical study,which was carried out in the Department of Otthopaedics,Affiliated Hospital of Nantong University from January 2003 to June 2006.PARTICIPANTS:Sixty patients with knee osteoarthritis who underwent artificial total knee replacement by anesthesia of epidural block were divided into four groups,including control group,vitamin E group,FDP group and vitamin E+FDP group,with 15 cases in each group.METHODS:Vitamin E was orally taken in the vitamin E group three days before replacement,three times a day,100 mg for each.The administration was performed until the surgical morning.Thirty minutes after the operation,FDP(10 g)was intravenously dripped in the FDP group.Additionally.vitamin E was also orally taken in the vitamin E+FDP group three days before replacement,three times a day,100 mg for each;on the surgical morning,FDP(10 g)was intravenously dripped on the first 30minutes.Blood samples were taken for biochemical determination before and after the operation at 1,3,5,and 7 days.MAIN OUTCOME M[EASURES:Corltents of malonaldehyde(MDA)and cuprum/zincum/superoxide dismutase (Cu-Zn-SOD)in the erythrocytes.RESULTS:MDA level in the vitamin E group and FDP group was significantly higher than that in the vitamin E+FDP group before and 5 and 7 days after replacement(P<0.05);while,Cu-Zn-SOD level was significantly lower(P<0.05).Otherwise,there were no significant differences in vitamin E+FDP group before and after replacement(P>0.05).CONCLUSION:The artificial total knee replacement can enhance lipid peroxidation and decrease antioxygen capability.However,the combination of vitamin E and FDP can prevent and relieve lipid peroxidation and antioxygen capability after replacement.

Background and purpose: Bladder cancer is the most common urological malignancy in our country which seriously threatens human health, and its incidence increased year by year. This study aimed to investigate the effects of hinokitiol on the proliferation, apoptosis and autophagy in human bladder cancer cell lines. Methods:CCK-8 assays were performed to analyze the effects of hinokitiol on the proliferation of J82 cells. Apoptosis rate was determined by lfow cytometry. Cleaved caspase 3, LC3 and P62 protein expression was determined using Western blot. EGFP-LC3 microscopy assay was performed to assess autophagy. Results: Hinokitiol significantly inhibited the proliferation of J82 cells and induced cell apoptosis via caspase pathway. The apoptosis effect of hinokitiol could be partially antagonized by Z-VAD-FMK. Hinokitiol induced autophagy of J82 cells, increased LC3 expression and down-regulated P62 expression. 3-MA is able to rescue Tet-induced cell death. Conclusion:Hinokitiol can inhibit the proliferation of J82 cells and induce cell apoptosis via autophagy activation.

Aim To investigate the effects of oleanolic acid on proliferation of SGC-7901/CDDP cells in vitro and its potential mechanisms.Methods Model of SGC-7901 cells resistant to cisplatin(SGC-7901/CDDP)was established in vitro.MTT assay was used to evaluate the viability of SGC-7901/CDDP cells in vitro.Real-time PCR was used to analyse the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax gene.Results MTT assay showed that oleanolic acid dramatically inhibited the proliferation of SGC-7901/CDDP cells in vitro,more than 62% SGC-7901/CDDP cells were inhibited when the cells were treated with 100 ?mol?L-1 oleanolic acid for 72 h;Real-time PCR showed that Bax(pro-apoptotic gene)was upregulated and Bcl-2(anti-apoptotic)was downregulated after being treated with oleanolic acid.Conclusions These results suggest that oleanolic acid inhibits proliferation of SGC-7901/CDDP cells in vitro,and its potential mechanisms may be through the upregulation of Bax and the downregulation of Bcl-2.

The Arabidopsis thaliana glutathione S-transferases zeta class (AtGSTZ) is a multi-functional enzyme, which plays important role in cellular metabolism and environmental purification. Error-prone PCR and cycles of DNA shuffling were used to construct a mutagenesis library of AtGSTZ. The screening of the resultant libraries was carried out by a pH indicator dye-based colorimetric assay. Nine mutants which enhanced the dichloroacetic acid dechlorination activity were obtained. Among them, NN23 contained 25 amino acid substitutions with the activity improving 120%, whereas NN20 contained 24 amino acid substitutions with the activity improving 102%. EC1 contained 2 amino acid substitutions with the activity improving 47%. The rest 6 mutants contained one amino acid substitution with their activity increasing from 9% to 60%. The enzymatic characterization showed that all the evolved enzymes increased their catalytic efficiencies towards dichloroacetic acid and binding affinity towards glutathione whereas some of them increased the renaturability. However there is no obvious change in their thermostability. Based on these data, functional residues related to catalysis and refolding of AtGSTZ were discussed.

To provide the basis for preparation of diagnostic kits and vaccines in Toxoplasma gondii infection, the gene coding for the qualified recombinant p30 protein (SAG1) of this parasite was amplified by PCR, and the amplified gene was cloned into prokaryotic expression vector pET-30a(+) to construct the recombinant plasmid, and then transformed to E.coli DH5α. The positive recombinant plasmid was screened by PCR and double enzymes digestion, and the nucleotide sequence of p30 gene was determined by automated DNA sequencing. Meanwhile, the identified recombinant plasmid was transformed to E.coli BL21(DE3) with the expression of p30 on bacteria induced by IPTG and the expressed protein was identified by SDS-PAGE. The protein obtained was then further purified and refolded, and its biological activity was checked by Western blotting. It was shown that the size of the amplified gene was 750 bp with molecular weight of 30 ku, and this protein could specifically react with monoclonal antibody against p30 protein.

OBJECTIVE:To study the preventive and therapeutic effect and its mechanism of medicine pair decoction liquid of Curcuma phaeocaulis-Sparganium stoloniferum on rats with uterine myoma. METHODS:Rats were randomly divided into normal group,model group,positive group(mifepristone,2.25 mg/kg)and medicine pair decoction liquid group(C. phaeocaulis-S. stolon-iferum decoction liquid,6.0 g/kg),10 in each group. Except for the normal group,rats in other groups were injected Estradiol ben-zoate injection (0.5 mg/kg) intramuscularly every Monday,Wednesday and Friday,for 12 weeks. From the 13th week,rats in modeling group were added Progesterone injection(5 mg/kg)intramuscularly as well as relevant medicines intragastrically,once a day,until the 16th week. After administration,uterine coefficient of rats was detected. HE staining was used to observe the patho-logical changes of uterus and determine the thickness of smooth muscle;immunohistochemical staining was adopted to detect the transforming growth factor β3 (TGF-β3),matrix metalloproteinase 11 (MMP-11) protein expressions in uterus tissue of rats. RE-SULTS:Compared with normal group,uterine coefficient was increased in model group,pathological changes were obvious in uterus,thickness of smooth muscle was increased,TGF-β3 and MMP-11 protein expressions were enhanced(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Compared with model group,above-mentioned changes were improved significantly in positive group and medicine pair decoction liquid groups(P<0.05 or P<0.01). CONCLUSIONS:Medicine pair decoction liquid of C. phaeocaulis-S. stoloniferum shows cer-tain preventive and therapeutic effect on rats with uterine myoma. The mechanism may be associated with downregulating the TGF-β3,MMP-11 protein expressions in uterus tissue.
