Objective To investigate the effect of medication guide on IL-17,NO,IL-8 and the respiratory function in patients with COPD,and to provide evidence for the prevention and treatment of COPD.Methods From January 2014 to December 2015,100 patients with COPD in our hospital were selected,and 3 months medication guide was given to the patients.The IL-8,IL-17,NO and other oxidative stress index were observed before and after the intervention.Results Before the intervention,the IL-17,IL-8 and NO levels of patients were (77.48 ± 5.48) ng/mL,(216.48 ± 29.40) ng/mL,(59.74 ± 10.38) mol/L respectively.After the intervention,the IL-17,IL-8 and NO levels were (28.57 ± 3.94) ng/mL,(43.80 ± 3.69) ng/mL and (78.62 ± 11.49) μmol/L.The levels of IL-17 and IL-8 were significantly decreased after the intervention,the level of NO was significantly increased (t =7.49,4.83,6.59,all P ＜ 0.05).Before the intervention,the levels of FEV1,FVC and FEV1/FVC were (50.24 ± 3.27) ％,(1.24 ± 0.38) L and (53.52 ± 2.37) ％ respectively.After intervention,the levels of FEV1,FVC and FEV1/FVC were (74.46 ± 5.74) ％,(1.99 ± 0.41) L and (83.27 ± 3.25) ％ respectively.The respiratory parameters of the patients after intervention were significantly increased (t =6.38,3.89,7.02,all P ＜ 0.05).After 3 months of intervention,in 100 patients,7 cases of grade 0,33 cases of grade Ⅰ,54 cases of grade Ⅱ,6 cases of grade Ⅲ,through statistical analysis,compared with those before intervention,significantly improved (x2 =6.49,all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion After 3 months of intervention,the patients' respiratory function limit improved,the condition improved significantly,and the medication guide for the patients with COPD has a positive effect.

Objective To compare the value of four kinds of commonly used serological detection method for detecting Trepone-ma Pallidum,i.e.,Treponema Pallidum enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay(TP-ELISA),Treponema pallidum particle agglutina-tion test(TPPA),Treponema Pallidum rapid plasma reagin test(RPR)and Treponema Pallidum antibody detection(TP-AD,emul-sion method).Methods 5 870 specimens from outpatients and inpatients were screened by TP-ELISA.121 cases of detected posi-tive specimen were simultaneously detected by TP-AD,TPPA and RPR.Then the detection results were performed the comparative analysis.Results Among 5 870 specimens,121 cases were positive by ELISA,the detection rate was 2.06%.Among 121 positive cases,119 cases were positive by TPPA,the conformity degree was 98.34%,49 cases were positive by RPR,the conformity degree was 40.41%,113 cases were positive by TP-AD,the conformity degree was 93.38%.With the TPPA results as the standard,there was no statistically significant difference between TPPA and TP-AD(P >0.05),but there was statistically significant difference be-tween TPPA and RPR(P <0.01).Conclusion The four kinds of method have their applicability.ELISA d has good specificity and high sensitivity,and is simple to operate and suitable for the physical examination of large amount of pregnant women,parturients and normal people.TPPA has good specificity and high accuracy,is suitable for definite diagnosis.RPR is suitable for the monito-ring and the curative effect observation in the patients with the active stage of siphilis.Compared with ELISA,TP-AD has slightly less sensitivity,but good specificity and can be used for screening without specific instrument.

Industrial microorganisms are subject to various stress conditions, including products and substrates inhibitions. Therefore, improvement of stress tolerance is of great importance for industrial microbial production. Acetic acid is one of the major inhibitors in the cellulosic hydrolysates, which affects seriously on cell growth and metabolism of Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Studies on the molecular mechanisms underlying adaptive response and tolerance of acetic acid of S. cerevisiae benefit breeding of robust strains of industrial yeast for more efficient production. In recent years, more insights into the molecular mechanisms underlying acetic acid tolerance have been revealed through analysis of global gene expression and metabolomics analysis, as well as phenomics analysis by single gene deletion libraries. Novel genes related to response to acetic acid and improvement of acetic acid tolerance have been identified, and novel strains with improved acetic acid tolerance were constructed by modifying key genes. Metal ions including potassium and zinc play important roles in acetic acid tolerance in S. cerevisiae, and the effect of zinc was first discovered in our previous studies on flocculating yeast. Genes involved in cell wall remodeling, membrane transport, energy metabolism, amino acid biosynthesis and transport, as well as global transcription regulation were discussed. Exploration and modification of the molecular mechanisms of yeast acetic acid tolerance will be done further on levels such as post-translational modifications and synthetic biology and engineering; and the knowledge obtained will pave the way for breeding robust strains for more efficient bioconversion of cellulosic materials to produce biofuels and bio-based chemicals.

Objective To observe PDX-1 expression in the pancreas of type 2 diabetic rat model and effects of rosiglitazone (RGZ) on it. Methods Type 2 diabetic rat model was induced by long-term feeding with high-fat foods followed by a single intraperitoneal injection of low dose of streptozotocin (STZ). The morphological changes of pancreas were examined by microscopy and immunohistochemistry. The mRNA levels of PDX-1 and insulin were determined by RT-PCR. PDX-1 protein expression was detected with Western blot. Results The percentage of insulin-positive cells(12.75±2.18)，the average optical densities of PDX-1-positive area(0.240±0.051)，PDX-1 mRNA level (0.153±0.071)and PDX-1 protein level(0.253±0.028) were significantly lower in untreated diabetic rats than in the controls(42.61±2.68，0.648±0.087，0.49±0.032，0.720±0.036 respectively)(all P＜0.01)，and in RGZ-treated versus untreated group those parameters increased significantly (all P＜0.05~0.01). Conclusions Rosiglitazone could protect islet cell function，and improve PDX-1 expressions in both mRNA and protein levels.

Objective To observe the bacteriostasis of herba houttuyniae liquid in bladder irrigation for treatment of rabbit bladder infection model, and to offer a new way for prevention and treatment of urinary tract infection.Methods Twenty male New Zealand long-eared white rabbits were divided into gentamicin control group and three different concentrations herba houttuyniae groups according to random number table method, each group 5 rabbits. The rabbit bladder infection model was replicated by injecting coli liquid 1 mL (105 cfu/mL) into the urinary bladder through a urethral catheter, and clipping the catheter for 1 hour. After model establishment for 3 days, in the three herba houttuyniae groups, 0.25, 0.50, 1.00 g/mL herba houttuyniae liquid 50 mL were injected into the bladder respectively, and in the gentamicin control group, 160 kU gentamicin was injected into the bladder. Before molding and after molding for 3, 5, 7, 9 days, ear blood in rabbit was taken, and white blood cell (WBC) count and neutrophil percentage (N%) were tested; at the same time, the middle segment morning urine was taken to detect bacteriuria and urine WBC positive rates; after the experiment, the animals were sacrificed, the urinary bladder tissues were taken, and the pathological changes in urinary bladder tissue were observed by a light microscope.Results Before molding, the bacteriuria in animals of each group was negative and the results of urine WBC, blood WBC and N% were within normal range. After molding for 3 days, bacteriuria and urine WBC positive rates reached 100%; with the prolongation of treatment after molding, the above two rates in each group were gradually decreased, and herba houttuyniae 0.50 g/mL and 1.00 g/mL groups appeared statistical significance on the 5th day (bacteriuria positive rate was 60% and 40%, urine WBC positive rate was 60% and 40% respectively, while the gentamicin control group and herba houttuyniae 0.25 g/mL group was still 100% positive, allP < 0.01); on the 9th day, the bacteriuria positive rate in both higher dosage herba houttuyniae groups was 0, in 0.25 g/mL group, it still had the positive rate 20%, showing herba houttuyniae 0.50 g/mL and 1.00 g/mL had stronger inhibitory effect than herba houttuyniae 0.25 g/mL. WBC and N% were increased in each group after molding, and on the 3rd day, WBC and N were significantly higher in each group than those before molding [WBC (×109/L): gentamicin control group 13.00±5.23 vs. 8.95±2.69, herba houttuyniae 0.25 g/mL group 14.52±10.28 vs. 8.73±3.16, herba houttuyniae 0.50 g/mL group 12.97±11.33 vs. 7.83±4.51, herba houttuyniae 1.00 g/mL group 13.03±9.17 vs. 6.45±3.85. N%: gentamicin control group 80.99±14.93 vs. 63.41±7.96, herba houttuyniae 0.25 g/mL group 89.62±9.41 vs. 70.01±9.13, herba houttuyniae 0.50 g/mL group 87.69±11.34 vs. 67.75±8.91, herba houttuyniae 1.00 g/mL group 85.67±12.81 vs. 65.12±4.63]. On the 7th day, WBC and N% fell, and on the 9th day, the WBC and N% were restored to normal range in herba houttuyniae 0.50 g/mL and 1.00 g/mL groups [WBC (×109/L): herba houttuyniae 0.50 g/mL group 8.56±5.38, herba houttuyniae 1.00 g/mL group 7.93±4.82. N%: herba houttuyniae 0.50 g/mL group 65.97±8.35, herba houttuyniae 1.00 g/mL group 65.57±9.12]. Under light microscopy, it was shown that the morphological appearances of tissue cells in various layers of bladder mucosa were normal in herba houttuyniae group, demonstrating that herba houttuyniae fluid in bladder did not cause allergic inflammatory reaction, etc.Conclusion The bacteriostatic action of herba houttuyniae liquid for bladder irrigation in treatment of rabbits with urinary tract infection is better than that of gentamicin.

Objective To investigate effects of total flavonoids of litchi (TFL) on the proliferation of rat hepatic stellate cells (HSC-T6) in comparison with western medicine rosiglitazone, and to explore the mechanism of anti hepatic fibrosis of TFL. Methods Effect of TFL on proliferation of HSC-T6 was examined by MTT. The expression of peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-γ (PPAR-γ) mRNA, connective tissue growth factor (CTGF) mRNA in HSC-T6 cells exposured were examined by real-time quantitative PCR. Effects on HSC-T6 CTGF protein from TFL and rosiglitazone were detected by Western bloting. Results The expression of PPAR-γ mRNA was upregulated and the expression of CTGF mRNA and protein was downregulated after exposure to TFL and rosiglitazone for 72 hours. And the effect of TFL increased with the increase of concentration. Conclusion TFL can inhibit the proliferation of HSC-T6 and antagonizing liver fibrosis. This mechanism may be associated with the upregulation of PPAR-γ expression and the downregulation of CTGF expression.

Objective To explore the potential association of HLA-A alleles and genetic susceptibility with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods Polymerase chain reaction-sequence specific primer (PCR-SSP) was used to analyze the distribution of HLA-A alleles among 106 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and 122 healthy persons. Results Nineteen out of twenty-four kinds of HLA-A alleles were found from the specimens, including 18 kinds in SLE specimens, and 15 kinds in control specimens. Among them, HLA-A*11 allele was positively associated with SLE (RR = 2.4380, EF = 0.1502, ?2 = 12.2440, P = 0.0005, Pc = 0.0095). For A*01 and A*24, although the P values were less than 0.05, the Pc values were more than 0.05 (0.9462 or 0.2356, respectively). Conclusions The results indicate that HLA-A*11 may be the susceptible allele or may be closely linked with the susceptible genes in Chinese SLE patients.

ObjectiveTo explore the damage of blood vessels in carbon monoxide poisoning patients by hyperbaric oxygen, especially for damage of vein, to understand the factors aggravating inflammatory response, thus work out the homologous protective measures.MethodsFrom January 2006 to January 2008, 80 patients of carbon monoxide poisoning were selected as the observation group. Another 80 patients with other diseases were set as the control group. Two groups both accepted hyperbaric oxygen treatment. The time of angioplerosis was compared between the two groups, besides, pain reaction of the observation group was also observed.ResultsThe time of angioplerosis was significantly different between the two groups, pain sensibility intensified in the observation group compared with that before treatment.ConclusionsHyperbaric therapy is closely related with vascular inflammatory reaction of carbon monoxide poisoning patients. Protective measures should be established in order to prevent further damage of vessel, relieve pain of patients and ensure smooth progress of the treatment.

Objective To compare the epidermal shape built by different passages of keratinocytes and its ability of proliferation and differentiation in three-dimensional conditions.Methods Different passages of keratinocytes were used to construct tissue-engineered skin.The morphology of the tissue-engineered skin was observed with HE and PAS staining,while CK1/CK10,CK5/CK14,Ki67 were detected by immunohistochemical assays.Results All the tissue-engineered skin had a significant dermoepidermal structure.The stratification of 1st and 2nd passage skins were better,and 2nd passage epidermis was thicker than that in other passages (P＜0.05).Dermoepidermal structure in collagen type Ⅳ group binded more tightly,but collagen type Ⅳ had little effect on the thickness of the epidermis (P＞0.05).In collagen type Ⅳ group PAS stain was negative,indicating type Ⅳ collagen was unable to promote the reconstruction of BM in vitro.The Ki-67 proliferation index of the 2nd keratinocyte was similar to the normal skin,the remaining passages keratinocyte proliferation gradually decreased (P＜0.05) ; the 1st and 2nd passage skins expressed CK1/CK10 and CK5/CK14.Conclusions Keratinocytes before the 3rd passage have a better ability in the proliferation and differentiation,and so they are more suitable as seed cells for tissue-engineered skin.

0.05). Within 8.9 months of mean follow-up, 3 new fractures occurred in 3 patients in group 1, 2 new fractures occurred in 2 patients in group 2, showing no significant difference. The average increase in vertebral body height on the X-ray plains at 1 week after PVP was 2.2 mm anteriorly, 2.3 mm centrally and unchanged posteriorly. Comparing with the plain film at 1 week after PVP, the heights of vertebrae showed no significant difference at 3 and 6 months of follow-up respectively the heights of vertebrae were unchanged at 1 week after conservative therapy. Average reduction in vertebral body height was 1.9 mm anteriorly, 2.1 mm centrally, unchanged posteriorly at 3 months, but no more collapse at 6 months after conventional treatment. The vertebral body height was significantly higher in the group 1 than in group 2 at 3 months after treatment. Conclusions PVP is aneffective and safe procedure for treating persistent painful osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures and shortening the course of disease. Pain relief showed no difference at 6 months follow up with conventional treatment\ a outcoming with increase of vertebral body height and preventing further collapse of the vertebra. New fractures following vertebroplasty may actually represent presence of osteoporosis rather than a complication of the procedure.
