The introduction of pertussis vaccines has greatly decreased the incidence of pertussis,but pertussis is still one of the most common epidemic diseases responsible for infant and child morbidity and mortality,and is perceived as a serious public health problem in many countries.The advent of acellular vaccines has constituted an important advance in the acceptance of the immunization and consequently the control of the disease.Acellular pertussis vaccines result in fewer adverse reactions compared with whole-cell pertussis vaccines,and the efficacy of acellular vaccines is similar to whole-cell pertussis vaccines.This review summarizes the characteristics of virulence factors of Bordetella pertussis.Acellular pertussis vaccines in term of efficacy,safety,and use are discussed emphatically.

Objective To explore the dynamic changes of von willebrand factor(VWF)and Pseleetin in the finger-replanted patients,and the relationship between the prognosis of the surgery and hypercoagulability.Methods From December 2004 to December 2006,eishty finger-replanted patients were recruited to our study.with 40 healthy volunteers as controls.Plasma VWF and P-selectin were detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(EUSA)in both controls and patients before or after replantation.Results The VWF and P-selectin levels had significant differences between the replantations and controls(F=14.76,11.76,P＜0.01).The VWF levels in the patients of 1,4,8,16 hours after replantation were(1 715±493),(1 396±549),(1 266±504),(1 163±436)U/L respectively,all markedly higher than the controls(P＜0.01).The P-selectin levels in patients of 1,4,8,16,24 hours after operation were(14.7±2.6),(12.5±3.0),(11.8±3.2),(11.1±3.0)、(10.5±2.6)μg/L,significanfly higher than the controls(P＜0.01).The VWF levels in patients of pre-replantion and the 1,4,8,16,24,48,72 hours after replantation were(854±209),(1 535±389),(1 177±407),(1 040±283),(958±216),(829±193),(777±151),(713±137)U/L in successful group,and were(1 202±164),(2 333±243),(2 146±161),(2 039±244),(1 865±170),(1 645±283),(1 427±331),(1 188±262)U/L in unsuccessful groups.They were all significantly different at the same test-time points between two groups(t=4.44,5.12,6.10,8.43,10.17,8.85,5.10.4.61,P＜0.05).The P-selectin levels in patients of 1,4,8,16,24,48,72 hours after replantation were(13.9±2.5),(11.2±2.0),(10.2±1.6),(9.6±1.2),(9.2±0.9),(9.5±0.6),(9.3±0.4)μg/L in successful group,and(17.2±1.0),(16.9±1.0),(17.0±1.3),(16.1±1.1),(14.9±1.5),(13.8±1.4),(12.8±1.2)μg/L in unsuccessful group.Significant difference existed at the same testtime points between two groups again(t=5.22.9.91,10.35,12.79,9.46.9.45,9.33,P＜0.01).After replantation,both VWF and P-selectin were rapidly elevated and went to the summit 4 hours later,then declined to pre-replantation level about 24 to 48 hours later after replantation.Conclusions VWF and P-selectin were associated with the hypercoagulability.Dynamic monitoring VWF and p-selectin may be useful in determining the existence of hypercoagulability and the therapy of anti-coagulability.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the wet paper roasting technology of Rheum palmatum. METHODS:Weighted comprehensive score composed of external properties of R. palmatum roasting with wet paper,the content of extract,total content of anthraquinone,free anthraquinones,conjugated anthraquinone and sennoside A+sennoside B,which were used as investigation indexes. L9(34)orthogonal test was adopted to investigate the three factors as the amount of paper,roasting time and roasting temperature,and optimized wet paper roasting technology of R. palmatum. Validation test was conducted. RESULTS:The optimal roasting technology was as follows as 100 g R. palmatum covered with 12 g paper,processing at 120 ℃,for 2 h. The results of validation test and pilot test showed the average comprehensive scores of roasted R. palmatum were 84.99(RSD<2.0%,n=3) and 85.06(RSD<2.5%,n=3),respectively. CONCLUSIONS:The optimal processing technology is simple and convenient with good reproducibility and operability.It lays a technical foundation for the standardized preparation of stewed R.palmatum.
