Objective To evaluate the endothelialization of Chinese nitinol atrial septal defect occlud-er device. Methods Atrial septal defect with controllable size was created by the Brockenborough needle and Rashkind balloon atrial septostomy, the occluder devices were implanted in six piglets (mean weight 7. 5 kg). Two pigs were killed each time after 1 month, 3 months and 6 months after the device implantation and then the explanted devices were examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Results The devices were found covering with collagen fibrosis together with diffuse endothelial cells spreading over the primer 1 month after implantation. The implants were covered mostly by ncointima 3 months after implantation and completely covered by confluent endothelial cells 6 months after the implantation. Endothelial cells were not found on the smooth marker band at 3 months, however, did exist by 6 months. Conclusions Home-made atriatseptal defect occluder devices were mostly endothelialised 3 months after the implantation and did completely at 6months.
6. Clinical Trials for Treatment of Allergic Rhinitis with Heat Sensitive Moxibustion and Its Regularity of Heat-sensitization Acupoint Distribution
Acupuncture Research 2017;42(6):527-532
OBJECTIVE: To observe the clinical effect of heat sensitive moxibustion (HSM) and its regularity of acupoint heat-sensitization in the treatment of allergic rhinitis (AR) patients. METHODS: Seventy patients with AR were randomly divided into HSM and manual acupuncture groups (n=35/group). For patients of the HSM group, acupoints Yintang (EX-HN 3), bilateral Yingxiang (LI 20), Shangxing (GV 23), Tongtian (BL 7), Feishu (BL 13), Hegu (LI 4), etc. were used, and for patients of the manual acupuncture group, bilateral LI 20 and LI 4, Bitong (EX-HN 8) and EX-HN 3 were needled and stimulated with uniform reinforcing-reducing needling method. The treatment was conducted once every other day, for 20 days, with 3 days' interval between two 10 days. The symptoms of sneezing, running nose, nasal obstruction, and nasal itching were scored as 1, 2 and 3 points according to their severity. The signs of turbinate-nose cavity bottom/nasal septum correlation, morphological state (swelling or not) of inferior nasal concha and color of nasal mucosa, appearance (deviation or polyp) of the middle turbinate and nasal septum were scored as 1, 2 and 3 points according to their severity. The total score equaled to symptom score plus nasal sign score. The distribution of heat sensitization acupoints for effectively improving AR were recorded. RESULTS: The total effective rate of 82.86%(29/35) in the HSM group had no marked difference in comparison with that of 74.29%(26/35) in the manual acupuncture group (P>0.05). After the treatment, the total scores of symptoms and nasal signs of both HSM and manual acupuncture groups were significantly reduced in comparison with their own individual pre-treatment (P<0.01), and those in the HSM group were significantly decrased than those in the manual acupuncture group (P<0.05). In 35 patients of the HSM group, among the detected 57 acupoints, the most frequently sensitive acupoints were LI 20, EX-HN 3, EX-HN 8, Shangyintang, BL 13, Shenque(CV 8), GV 23, Fengchi(GB 20), Die'e and Dazhui (GV 14) in sequence, mainly covering the Governor Vessel, Large Intestine Meridian of Hand-yangming(LI), and Bladder Meridian of Foot-taiyang(BL), and characterized by heat conduction, heat diffusion, diathermancy, non-thermal (mainly itching) sensation, thermal sensation mainly in the deep tissue and in the distant part rather than in the body surface and the local part. CONCLUSIONS: HSM has a positive effect on improvement of AR, when applied, acupoints LI 20, EX-HN 3, EX-HN 8, Shangyintang, BL 13, CV 8, GV 23, GB 20, Die'e and GV 14 are highly recommended.

The culture conditions of Saccharomyces cerevisiae sp.strain by 1.1 b were optimized for the production of D-(-)-mandelate dehydrogenase which is useful for the asymmetric bioreduction of benzoylformate to form D-(-)-mandelate.The optimum medium(per liter)consistes of 60 g peptone,30 g maltose, 0.5 g MgSO_4,0.01 g ZnSO_4,1.0 g KCl.After optimization of the culture medium,the enzyme production in shake flasks is enhanced from 2.56 to 20.21 U/L.The optimum fermentation conditions were determined as follows:medium volume 100 mL(i.e.,40%for a 250-mL shake flask),pH 6.5,inoculum size 10%,temperature 30℃,and cultivation time 25 h.

Salmonella enterica serovar Cerro 87, which was isolated from a commercial egg-producing farm, has a phosphorothioated DNA backbone resulting DNA degradation(Dnd) during the pulsed field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) process. In this research, a gene deletion mutant XTG103 was engineered with the entire dnd gene cluster knocked out by double crossover using vector pKOV-kan, and lost Dnd phenotype corre- spondingly. We regulated the DNA phosphorothioation by heterogenous expression of dnd gene cluster with an isopropyl ?-D-1-thiogalactopyranoside (IPTG) inducible promoter PlacZ.

OBJECTIVETo develop a solvent desorption gas chromatographic method for determination of n-pentanol in the workplace air.
METHODSn-Pentanol in the workplace air was collected with activated carbon tubes, desorbed with 2% 2-propanol in carbon disulfide, separated with a nitroterephthalic acid-modified FFAP capillary column, and detected with flame ionization detector.
RESULTSThe limit of detection was 0.2 mg/L; the lower limit of quantification was 0.6 mg/L; the linear range was 0.6-4072.0 mg/L. The minimum detectable mass concentration was 0.2 mg/m3 for 1.5 L of air sample. This method was highly repeatable. The relative standard deviations were 2.3%-5.4%. The average desorption efficiencies were 86.9%-94.2%. The absorption efficiencies were 100%. The breakthrough volume was above 8.0 mg in 100-mg activated carbon. The samples in activated carbon tubes could be stored for at least 14 days at room temperature.
CONCLUSIONThe method is feasible for determination of n-pentanol in the workplace air.
