Superoxide dismutase(SOD) was purified from Tegillarca granosa and the effects of tributyltin chloride(TBTCl) on the enzyme activity of the SOD were analyzed at different conditios. The results showed that the effects of TBTCl on SOD activity were more ohvious at room temperature than at four degrees centigrade. 58. 1 % of the enzyme activity was reserved after SOD was incubated with 200?g?mL-1 of TBTC1 for 72 hours at room temperature, while 90. 9% of the enzyme activity was reserved at four degrees centigrade. The enzyme activity of SOD was reduced with the increase of TBTC1 concentration and interaction time. TBTCl could reduce heat-resisting, acid-resisting and alkali-resisting abilities of SOD. With TBTCl concentration increase,SOD isozyme bands in the graph of polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis were getting weaker.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic valve of double balloon enteroscopy in patients with obscure abdominal pain and analyze the etiology of chronic abdominal pain resulted from enteral diseases. Methods Sixty-seven cases with chronic abdominal pain underwent a previous negative gastroscopy, colonoscopy, gastrointestinal barium, B ultrasound and electrocardiogram were received double balloon enteroscopy during June 2005 to June 2008. Results Thirty-six of 67 patients was done by enteroscopy via anus, and 19 cases via oral, and 12 cases via both anus and oral. The lesions were found in 41 of the 67 patients, with overall diagnostic yield of 61.19%. Among 41 cases of abdominal pain resulted from small bowel diseases, Crohn's disease were found in 15 cases (36.59%), non-specific small enteritis in 10 cases (24.39%), tumors in 8 cases (19.51%),other enteral diseases in 8 cases (19.51%). Conclusions Double balloon enteroscopy was a diagnostic modality with a high diagnostic value for obscure abdominal pain resulted from small bowel diseases. The most common causes of obscure abdominal pain were Crohn's disease, non-specific small enteritis and tumors.

Objective: This study aimed to compare and analyze the functional differences between peripheral blood mono-cyte-derived dendritic cells (DCs) of Helicobacter pylori-positive and H. pylori-negative patients with gastric cancer. Methods:H. py-lori infection was detected in 84 patients with gastric cancer in our hospital from January 2011 to October 2012 by the 14C-urea breath test. DCs were generated from monocytes isolated by an adherent method from the two groups of patients and cultured in the presence of rhIL-4, rhGM-CSF, and rhTNF-α. Furthermore, the expression of surface marker molecules was determined by fluorescence-activat-ed cell sorting analysis. The cytotoxicity of DCs pulsed T cells against gastric carcinoma cell was assessed by the lactate dehydroge-nase-releasing assay. The secretion of IL-12 and IFN-γin the supernatant was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Re-sults:No difference was observed in the morphological change of the maturation process. The mean expression of CD1a, CD80, CD83, CD86, and HLA-DR molecules in DCs of H. pylori-infected patients was higher than that in DCs of H. pylori-negative group, and the differences were statistically significant except for CD1a and HLA-DR. The cytotoxicity activities, IL-12 release, and IFN-γrelease in the H. pylori-positive group were significantly higher than those in the H. pylori-negative group (P<0.05). Conclusion:H. pylori infec-tion has no effect on the morphological change of the maturation process of monocyte-derived DCs. These data clearly demonstrate that monocyte-derived DCs of H. pylori-infected patients with gastric cancer can induce stronger maturation and activation than those of H. pylori-negative patients.
