We found that the number of institutions made use of the undocumented in vitro diagnostic reagent in the survey. The phenomenon poses some risks and problems. In use this paper, we analyzed the situation and the reasons for the use of the undocumented in vitro diagnostic reagents, and put forward the corresponding measures.

In recent years, various studies and analyses related to cosmetics safety were conducted according to routine tests in Hygienic Standard of Cosmetics (2007), and the eligible rates of tested cosmetics were high. But the other prohibited and limited use components, such as antibiotics were analyzed rarely, and meanwhile some kinds of cosmetic related dermatitis cases appeared dramatically. Several dermatitis, especially contact dermatitis and hormone dependent dermatitis symptoms were not contained in Diagnostic Criteria and Principles of Management of Skin Diseases Induced by Cosmetics-General Guideline, GB 17149.1—1997. So it indicated the standard, GB 17149.1—1997 should be revised and some prohibited and limited use components such as hormone and antibiotic testing should be appended to the safety analysis of cosmetics.

BACKGROUND: Many studies focus on transforming growth factor β (TGF β) and its receptors, however, the distdbution of type Ⅰ TGF receptor (TGF-βR Ⅰ) in peripheral region of hypertrophic scars remain poorly understood. OBJECTIVE: To determine the expression and distribution of TGF-βR Ⅰ and type Ⅰ collagen in the peripheral and central areas of human skin hypertrophic scar. METHODS: A total of 30 cases with human cutaneous scars admitted at the Department of Plastic Surgery, First Affiliated Hospital and Department of Mammary Gland, Head and Neck Surgery, Tumor Hospital of Xinjiang Medical University from 1999 to 2002, were selected, including 20 cases with hypertrophic scar and 10 cases with normal scars. A total of 180 scars were obtained from central and peripheral areas of scars as well as normal skin tissues. The protein contents of TGF-βR1 and type Ⅰcollagen was detected by immunohistochemistry. In addition, the immunostaining positive in these samples was analyzed by semiquantitative analysis. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Compared to non hypertrophic scar and normal skin tissues, the TGF-βR1 expression of hypertrophic scar was obvious greater with strong positive reaction. The TGF-β R Ⅰ content was 100% in peripheral region of hypertrophic scar, which was notably 20% greater than that of central area (P < 0.05). The content of type Ⅰ collagen was both 100% in peripheral and central areas. The differences of positive TGF-β R Ⅰ and type Ⅰ collagen had no significance between peripheral and central areas of non hypertrophic scars (P > 0.05). There were few contents of TGF-βR Ⅰ and type Ⅰ collagen in normal skin tissues. The expression of TGF-β R Ⅰ is higher in peripheral than central areas of hypertrophic scar. Therefore, the peripheral area would be emphasized in the clinic work.

Based on the requirement of biology education development,the article analyzes the approach to improve the teaching quality of medical biology from quality education,subjiect intercrossing or 'regression' and 'outspread',and offers new ideas for education reform and innovation of the medical biology.

Aim To study the chemical constituents of Cypripedium tibeticum. Methods Compounds were isolated by repeated silica gel chromatography and purified on Sephadex LH-20 and structures were determined by spectral analysis. Results Cypritibetquinones A and B were isolated from the ethyl acetate residue and their structures were determined as 7-hydroxy-2-methoxy-1, 4-phenanthraquinone ( 1 ) and 7-hydroxy-2,10-dimethoxy-1,4-phenanthraquinone ( 2 ), respectively, by extensive spectral analyses. Conclusion Cypritibetquinones A and B are two new phenanthraquinones.

Objective To evaluate the role of haeme oxygenase-1 (HO-1) in remote limb ischemic preconditioning (RLIP)-induced attenuation of lung ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rabbits.Methods Twenty-four Japanese White Rabbits,aged 4-5 months,weighing 2.0-2.5 kg,were randomly divided into 4 groups (n =6 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (S group),I/R group,RLIP group and zinc protoporphyrin (ZnPP,an inhibitor of HO-1) plus RLIP group (ZnPP + RLIP group).Lung I/R was produced by 60 min occlusion of the left lung hilum followed by 180 min of reperfusion in I/R,RLIP and ZnPP + RLIP groups.RLIP and ZnPP + RLIP groups received 3 cycles of 10 min ischemia followed by 10 min reperfusion in the bilateral hind limbs immediately before occlusion of the left lung hilum.In ZnPP + RLIP group,ZnPP 10 μmol/kg was injected intravenously 10 min prior to hind limb ischemia and the rest of the procedures were similar to those previously described in RLIP group.At the end of reperfusion,arterial blood samples were collected for blood gas analysis.The animals were then sacrificed and pulmonary specimens were obtained for microscopic examination of the pathological changes which were scored (lung injury score,LIS) and for determination of wet/dry lung weight ratio (W/D ratio),myleoperoxidase (MPO) activity,malondialdehyde (MDA) content and expression and activity of HO-1 in the lung tissues.Results Compared with group S,PaO2 was significantly decreased,and LIS,W/D ratio,MPO activity,MDA content,and HO-1 expression and activity were increased in I/R group (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with I/R group,PaO2 and HO-1 expression and activity were significantly increased,and LIS,W/D ratio,MPO activity and MDA content were decreased in RLIP group (P ＜ 0.01).Compared with RLIP group,PaO2 and HO-1 expression and activity were significantly decreased,and LIS,W/D ratio,MPO activity and MDA content were increased in ZnPP + RLIP group (P ＜ 0.01).Conclusion RLIP up-regulates HO-1 expression and enhances HO-1 activity,thus reducing lung I/R injury in rabbits.

Objective To investigate the relationship between expression of mucin1 (MUC1) and tumor invasion in pituitary adenomas.Methods The expression of MUC1 was detected by immunohistochemical analysis in 26 tissues of invasive pituitary adenoma and 29 of non-invasive pituitary adenoma.Results The expression of MUC1 in invasive pituitary adenomas tissues was 76.92 ％ (20/26).It was weakly positive or negative in non-invasive pituitary adenoma tissues,and the positive rate was 27.57 ％ (8/29).There was significant difference in two groups (x2 =13.35,P ＜ 0.01).The expression of MUC1 in functional pituitary adenomas was 44.82 ％ (13/35) and was 75.00 ％ (15/20) in non-functional pituitary adenomas.There were no significant difference in two groups (x2 =6.13,P ＞ 0.01).Conclusions Over-expression and aberrant localization of MUC1 in invasive pituitary adenoma may act as distinguishing diagnostic markers of invasive pituitary adenoma.MUC1 might be as the target of immunotherapy of invasive pituitary adenoma.
