Objective To study the effect of different pH values on activation of sodium chlorite. Methods After activated sodium chlorite by different concentration of hydrochloric acid, differentiate determination was used to determine the concentration of chlorine dioxide and other chlorine species produced at different times. Results The activation rates of chlorine dioxide increased as concentration of hydrochloric acid gradually increased, that showed a dose-response manner. When concentration of hydrochloric acid were 9.6, 10 and 10.3 mol/L, the pH value reached 0.47, 0.39 and 0.26, respectively, the activation rate reached the peak value at 10 min (activation rate was 98.8%), 8 min (97.1%) and 5 min (99.2%) respectively. Conclusion The activation rate of chlorine dioxide is related to pH. When pH value is less than 0.5,the activation rate of chlorine dioxide is higher. The lower the pH value is,the higher the activation rate of chlorine dioxide is and more early the peak value appears.

Electrical stimulation is a common technology to treat neurogenic bladder dysfunction secondary to supersacral spinal cord injury. This paper reviews the historical development of this treatment and current status.

BACKGROUND: Decoy receptor 1 (DcR1), which acts as decoy receptors, is resistant to apoptosis induction by related apoptosis inducing ligand (TRAIL). OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of the DcR1 (TRAIL-R3) protein in human herniated and normal lumbar intervertebral discs (IVD). METHODS: The expression and distribution of DcR1 proteins were assessed by using immunohistochemistry in 20 herniated lumbar IVD and 8 normal lumbar IVD tissues samples following discoidectomy from January to September 2010. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Percentage of nucleus pulposus and anulus fibrous cells with DCR1 expression was obviously more in the herniated group than in normal IVD group. The current results indicate that the expression of DCR1 rises after herniation.

ObjectiveTo explore the operation effect and clinicopathologic characteristics of elderly patients with gastric carcinoma(GC) and the relationship between prognosis and age.MethodsThe clinical data and treatment outcomes of 112 elderly patients suffered from GC( elderly group≥70 years of age) and 135 younger patients (control group ＜50 years of age) were analyzed retrospectively.ResultsThe elderly GC patients had more preoperative comorbidities,and a well or moderately differentiated histology(P ＜0.05).And more young patients had a poorly differentiated histology and signet ring cell carcinoma,using the Borrmann classification,type Ⅳ was more frequent in the young patients(P ＜0.05 ) ; Whereas there were no significant differences beween the two groups in other factors ( including liver function,tumor invasion,nodal involvement,hepatic metastasis,peritoneal dissemination,tumor stage,type of surgery,post operation complication and 5-year survival rates of elderly patients and young patients) ( all P ＜0.05).ConclusionOutcomes in elderly patients with gastric carcinoma were comparable to young patients.The important prognostic factor was whether the patients undergo a curative resection.For the elderly patients without preoperative comorbidities or with controlled comorbidities,gastrectomy was a safe and effective treatment.

Studies using isolated rat fundus strip preparation demonstrated that l-stephanine ( l-STP ) , l-roemerine ( 1-REM ), l-stepholidine (l-SPD), 1-tetrahydropalmatine ( l-THP ) and dl-tetrahydrode-berine ( THB ) possessed 5-HT blockade properties. 1-STP ( 16, 25 ?M ) produced competitve antagonism against 5-HT receptor on rat fundus, while higher concentration ( 50 ?M ) suggested a non-competi tive inhibition, with pA2' and2' values equal to 5.8 and 4.2 respectively. 1-REM was found to be a non-competitive antagonIst ( pD' 2 = 4.5). 1-SPD, 1-THP and THB cuased a parallel shift to the right of 5-HT concentration response curve without any significant changes in their maximum response, indicating that they were competitive antagonists of 5-HT receptor. The antagonistic potencies of 1-SPD, l-THP and THB were expressed as pA2 values: 6.2,5.2 and 5.0.

Objective To determine the contents of fructose, glucose, sucrose and total saccharide in honeysuckle extracts which were produced by three classical methods, to provide scientific data for producing and controlling of those patent medicines containing honeysuckle extract. Methods Three classical extract methods were used for producing honeysuckle extracts. HPLC-ELSD method was used for determining the contents of fructose, glucose, sucrose, and a spectrophotometric determination method was used for determining the contents of total saccharide. Results The contents of fructose in three honeysuckle extracts were 5.44%, 3.47%, 4.74%, glucose were 4.35%, 2.73%, 4.21%, glucose were 17.41%, 8.47%, 14.47%, and total saccharide were 50.63%, 41.12%, 35.90%, respectively. Conclusion About 36%～51% of total components of honeysuckle extracts were determined except chlorogenic acids, and 19%～27% of components in the extracts were fructose, glucose, sucrose.

Objective To establish the fingerprints for characterization of the chemical components of maidong(root of Ophiopogon japonicus) in two main cultivate regions of China,Sichuan(Chuanmaidong) and Zhejiang(Hangmaidong).Methods An HPLC-UV analytical methods was applied to detect 70% ethanol extracts of 20 samples from Sichuan and Zhejiang province,a "Fingerprint similarity evaluating system for TCM" issued by Pharmacopoeia Committee of P.R.China was used to evaluate the similarities all of the samples.Results The fingerprints revealed that the similarities were higher than 0.95 between samples from the same cultivate region,and were lower than 0.80 between samples from different regions of above two.Conclusion The fingerprints of Chuanmaidong and Hangmaidong were provided with high difference,and the difference can be taken as a most important proof for distinguishing the material medica of Chuanmaidong and Hangmaidong,but also in patent medicine of TCM.

Objective To introduce the new technique of transperitoneal laparoscopic ureterovesical reimplantation and to evaluate its feasibility and clinical significance. Methods Overall,17 cases (5 men and 12 women) of ureterovesical obstruction (left,7 and right,10) were included.Of them,10 cases were diagnosed with simple congenital ureter outlet stricture;1 had calculi and polyp formation at right ureter outlet;2 had recurrent ureter outlet stricture after open ureterovesical reimplantation (1 of them had 2 calculi at lower part of the ureter);1 had double nephroureteral upper unit ureter outlet stricture with 2 calculi;2 had recurrent ureter outlet stricture after holmium laser section;1 with urinary TB had right ureter outlet stricture after left nephrectomy.Among the 17 cases,severe hydronephrosis occurred in 12,and moderate,in 5.Transperitoneal laparoscopic ureterovesical reimplantation was performed in the 17 cases (ureterovesical anastomosis in 15 and bladder flap ureterovesical reimplantation in 2). Results The operations were all successful in 17 cases with operating time of 90～160 min (mean, 112 min) and blood loss of 60～100 ml.The drainage tubes were removed 1～3 days after surgery without urine leakage.The urinary catheters were removed 1 week after surgery and double J stents,1 month after surgery. Six months after surgery cystography showed Ⅲ?urine reflux in 6 cases, Ⅰ?-Ⅱ? urine reflux in 5 and no reflux in 6.One year after surgery cystography showed Ⅲ? urine reflux in 3 cases, Ⅰ?～Ⅱ? urine reflux in 4 and no reflux in 10.During 3～24 months' follow-up, ultrasound B and IVU showed moderate hydronephrosis in 4 cases,mild,in 5 and no obvious hydronephrosis in 8. Conclusions Laparoscopic ureterovesical reimplantation is a feasible,less painful and minimally invasive alternative method for treatment of ureterovesical diseases.By comparison,bladder flap ureterovesical reimplantation has better anti-urine reflux effect but more complicated than ureterovesical anastomosis does.Long term efficacies of the methods need further observation.

Objective To investigate the effects of oral recombinant attenuated Salmonella ophimurium urease B subunit and catalase in the treatmeat of H.pylori infection in a H.pylori infected mouse model. Methods Thirty C57BL/6 mice were randomized into three groups and challenged twice by oral administration of H.pylori in three days. Four weeks after the second challenge, the mice were immunized by oral administration of recombinant attenuated Salmonella typhimurium urease B subunit (group A), recombinant attenuated Salmonella typhimurium catalase (group B), or saline (group C) respectively, and all mice were sacrificed 4 weeks after the immunization. The stomachs were collected for rapid urease test, modified Giemsa stain and quantitative culture to observe the gastric H.pylori densities, and HE stain was performed to assess the presence of inflammation. Lymph cells from the spleens were served for lymphoproliferation assay. Results Gastric H.pylori densities of group A, B and C were 1.58?10 5 CFU/g, 4.88?10 5 CFU/g and 1.92?10 6CFU/g respectively. H.pylori densities of therapeutic groups were significantly decreased ( P
