The nutritive composition from tissues of Perinereisaibuhitensis was analyzed. The result indicated that there was 67. 43% amino acids and 14. 24% fatty acids in the tissues, a-mong them the EPA comprises 6. 5343% of the total fatty acids and the glutamic acid comprises 10. 288% of the whole tissues. In the meanwhile, the tissues also contains high content of trace elements, such as zinc, iodine, selenium as well as fibrinolytic enzymes and so on, showing a prospective application value in the future.

Objective:To determine the curative effect of Ginkgo Biloba extract on the back chapped skin in SD rats. Methods:Totally 60 SD rats were randomly divided into 6 groups with 10 rats in each. One group was the blank control group, while the other five groups with the same back chapped skin were respectively treated with different therapy regimen, namely one group was the model group without any treatment, one group was urea group treated with the commercially available urea, and the last three groups were re-spectively treated with Ginkgo Biloba extract at the dose of 5%, 1% and 0. 2%. The pathological tissue was observed after HE stai-ning, and the content of hydroxyproline ( Hyp) in skin was determined by alkaline hydrolysis. Results:The skin lesion and the score of pathological section were studied and the content of Hyp in the damaged skin was determined. The comprehensive score for the groups was 0, 13. 2, 7. 4, 11. 0, 5. 8 and 6. 6, respectively, and the content of Hyp was (4. 57 ± 0. 07), (2. 41 ± 0. 27), (3. 29 ± 0.57), (2.55 ±0.31), (3.24 ±0.26) and (3.37 ±0.24) μg·mg-1,respectively. There was significant difference in the curative effect between the Ginkgo Biloba extract groups at high dose (5%) and medium dose (1%) and the model group (P<0. 05), which showed no obvious difference when compared with the urea group (P>0. 05). Conclusion:The extract of Ginkgo Biloba has a certain effect on the back chapped skin in SD rats, which may contribute to the external preparations of Ginkgo Biloba extract.

The studies on the antihypoxia mechanism of 18?-SGA were reported. The survival time of hypoxia mice were longer than those of the control after intraperitoneal injections of 14mg/kg or 21mg/kg of 18?-SGA ( Sodium 18?-glycyrrenetic acid). Changes of various physiological indications after administration of the drug were as follows: blood pH was risen; acidosis was relieved; and the partial pressure of oxygen in the mixed blood was decreaed. The blood thyroxine level remain unchanged. It suggests the utilization of oxygen by the tissues was strengthened.

Active fractions were obtained from the c(?)amworm homogenate by reverse-phase concentration, gel filtration and affinity column chromatography. The MTS/PMS assay was used in the screening of antimicrobial peptide in vitro. The MTS/PMS assay and ELISAAFP method were combined to evaluate the effects of antimicrobial peptide on the proliferation and ?-fetoprotein secretion of HepG2 cells as well as on the proliferation of normal mouse osteoblast MC3T3-E1. The results showed that the purified antimicrobial peptide from clamworm Murphysa sanguinea was a constitutive basic protein with MW 8.1 kDa and pI 8.6, which showed inhibition effects on the proliferation and ?-fetoprotein secretion of HepG2 cells at different levels. These effects have a positive correlation with the concentrations of antimicrobial peptide. No obvious inhibition and damage effects were observed on the normal osteoblast.

The development of membrane separation technology in antibioti cs extraction was presented. The application of high performance capillary electr ophoresis, aqueous two-phase system and reverse micelles extraction were also b riefly introduced. Besides, the foreground of these modern separation technolog ies was discussed.

Objective To explore the relationship between the serum level of leptin,growth hormone(GH),insulin like growth factor-1(IGF-1),insulin like growth factor binding protein-3(IGFBP-3)and those modulatine effects on fetal growth.Methods One hundred and thirty-five cases of newborns were divided into 4 groups according to the relationship between born weight and gestational age.Group A:premature infants small for gestational age(SGA),n=30.Group B:premature infants appropriate for gestational age(AGA),n=36.Group C:mature infants small for gestational age,n=32.Group D:mature infants appropriate for gestational age,n=37.All infants were measured se-rum leptin,GH,IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 level with radiommunosassay(RIA).Results There were significant difference in the levels of leptin,GH,IGF-1,IGFBP-3 as group C0.05).There were positive correlation between levels of leptin,IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 in group A,B and C,while,there was positive correlation between only level of IGF-1 in group D.Conclusions Leptin,IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 may play an important role in the fetal growth regulation of premature infants and IUGR infants.IGF-1 also regulate intrauterine growth of group D.Another side,in group D,Leptin,GH,IGF-1 and IGFBP-3 don't regulate fetal growth.

Objective To investigate the X-ray,CT and MRI features of peripheral primitive neuroectodermal tumors (pPNETs).Methods 14 patients were pathologically diagnosed with pPNETs.The imaging of X-ray (twelve image),Computed Tomography(eleven image) and Magnetic Resonance Imaging(five image) were retrospectively analyzed.Results Of 14 patients,there were two sites of tumour:soft tissue( eight patients) and bones( six patients).For tumoura of the soft tissue region,the appearance of X-ray and CT imaging showed equal or lower density soft mass without dear boundary.In some cases,tumours invaded adjacent bones.The appearance of MRI imaging showed large heterogeneous masses inside soft tissue without clear boundary.Tumours displaced adjacent cortical bone and cavitas medullaris.All masses were heterogeneous enhancement on contrast images.For tumours of bone region,X-ray and CT scan showed large scale osteolysis osteoclasia in bone surrounding with soft tissue masses of various size.The lesions were equal or lower signal on T1 WI.All masses were intermediate or hyperintense signal with heterogeneous midrange or obvious enhancement on T2WI.Conclusion Imaging characteristics of pPNETs were described.X-ray,CT and MRI were useful in understanding the property,extent and staging of tumor and very useful in the diagnosis.

Objective To evaluate left ventricular systolic synchrony in patients with Ⅲ grade atrio-ventricular block(Ⅲ grade AVB) after pacemaker implantation by real-time three-dimensional echocardiography. Methods Methods Twelve patients with Ⅲ grade AVB implanted by VVI pacemaker, seven patients with Ⅲ grade AVB implanted by DDD pacemaker, twenty subjects with normal LV function were examined by Philips iE33 with a X3-1 probe. Results The minimal excursion in patients with Ⅲ grade AVB implanted by VVI pacemaker and DDD pacemaker was less than that in subjects with normal LV function (P <0.05) ,and two "bull eyes" displayed that some regional systolic timing delayed or ahead, but also some regional systolic excursion hypokinesis or dykinesis. Parameter index [including Tmsv 16-SD, Tmsv 12-SD, Tmsv 6-SD, Tmsv 16-Dif, Tmsv 12-Dif, Tmsv 6-Dif, Tmsv 16-SD (%), Tmsv 12-SD (%), Tmsv 6-SD (%), Tmsv 16-Dif (%), Tmsv 12-Dif (%), Tmsv 6-Dif(%)] of 17 segment time to minimal systolic volume in patients with Ⅲ grade AVB implanted by VVI pacemaker and DDD pacemaker was more than that in subjects with normal LV function (all P < 0.05). Conclusions Real-time three-dimensional echocardiography can rapidly evaluate left ventricular systolic synchrony in patients with Ⅲ grade AVB implanted by DDD pacemaker and VVI pacemaker.

Objective To investigate the value of real-time three-dimensional echocardiography timing-excursion parametric index and 17 segment volume curves index in patients with restrictive cardiomyopathy.Methods Eight patients with restrictive cardiomyopathy (proven by biopsy),twenty eight subjects with normal left ventricular(LV) function were examined by Philips iE33 with X3-1 probe.Results Parameter index of the SD and maximum difference of Tmsv of 16 segments,12 segments,and 6 basal segments(Tmax 16SD,Tmsv-12SD Tmsv -6SD,Tmsv-16Dif,Tmsv-12 Dif,Tmsv-6Dif,Tmsv 16-SD%,Tmsv 12-SD%,Tmsv 6-SD%,Tmsv 16-Dif%,Tmsv 12-Dif%,Tmsv 6-Dif%) was significantly higher in patients with restrictive cardiomyopathy than that in subjects with normal LV function(all P＜0.001).Average and maximum value and minimum of excursion was significantly lower in patients with restrictive cardiomyopathy than that in subjects with normal LV function(P＜0.001,P＜0.005,P＜0.005).And parameter index of 17 segment volume curves index showed higher sensitivity,specificity,positive predictive value and negative predictive value for diagnose restrictive cardiomyopathy.Conclusions Real-time threedimensional echocardiography can evaluate and diagnose restrictive cardiomyopathy fastly.
