AIM:In order to improve the clarity and quality of Ginkgo leaf water-extraction solution,and optimize the production process. METHODS:The experiment was based on the optical absoiption and scattering rate,flocculation rate and loss in flavanones were used as two main parameters to estimate the effect of influencing factors on flocculation.It could be proved by analyzing the particle size in water-extraction solution before and after flocculation. RESULTS:The best flocculation technological parameters of water-extraction solution of Ginkgo leaf with chitosan were as follows:at flocculant concentration of 1.071 g/L,flocculation temperature of 40(?C),pH of 4.9. CONCLUSION:The flocculation of water-extraction solution of Ginkgo leaf with chitosan is effective and selective,it has the advantage over ethanol precipitation method.

In this study,the relationship between the advanced glycation end products(AGEs) and the expressions of receptor for AGEs(RAGE),intercellular cell adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) was investigated.The diabetic rat model was reconstructed and the fluorescence method,RT-PCR and in-situ hybridization techniques were used to detect AGEs content and the expressions of RAGE and ICAM-1 gene in the aorta and cardiac tissues.The results showed that AGEs content in aortic and cardiac tissues increased(P＜0.01) in diabetic rats; The expressions of RAGE and ICAM-1 enhanced (P＜0.05～0.01) and were positively correlated with the quantity of AGEs accumulation(P＜0.01) in the aorta and cardiac tissue.These parameters change in the diabetic rats can be improved with aminoglumine(AG) treatment.Suggesting that AGEs might induce RAGE and ICAM-1 expression.It's postulated that AGEs binding to RAGE play an important role to result in diabetic endothelial cells dysfunction and lesion.

AIM: To evaluate the inhibitory effect of galactose (Gal)-polyethyleneimine (PEI)-c-myc antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) complex on proliferation of human hepatocellular carcinoma cells. METHODS: Human hepatocellular carcinoma cell line Bel-7402 was treated with Gal-PEI-ASODN complex. Cell proliferation was tested by trypan blue dye at different time points and with various concentrations of ASODN treatment. Cell morphology was observed under inverted microscope, cell hypodiploid percentage was analyzed by flow cytometry and cell ultrastructure was observed through electron microscopy. RESULTS: Compared with ASODN group (20 ?mol/L) from (0 h) to 96 h, Gal-PEI-ASODN complex (with ASODN 0.75 ?mol/L) significantly suppressed Bel-7402 cells proliferation, the ASODN concentration within Gal-PEI-ASODN complex and time course acquired were significantly lower and shorter, respectively. Incubated with pure ASODN at different concentrations for 72 hours, cell proliferation was inhibited and IC_(50) was 20.9 ?mol/L; while mediated with galactose receptor for 48 hours, ASODN significantly inhibited cell proliferation and IC_(50) was only 0.294 ?mol/L, the inhibitory efficacy of ASODN enhanced 70.9 folds. While Bel-7402 cells were incubated with Gal-PEI-ASODN complex for 48 hours, cell hypodiploid percentage was much higher than ASODN groups and cell apoptosis was seen under electron microscopy. CONCLUSIONS: Galactose receptor mediated ASODN delivery may significantly increase proliferation inhibition efficacy on Bel-7402 cells. [

Objective To investigate the value of CT scans in differential diagnosis of thyroid neoplasm.Methods CT findings ofthyroid neoplasm in 29 cases including 8 cases thyroid adenoma,4 cases nodular goiter and 17 cases thyroid carcinoma identified by operation and pathology were analyzed retrospectively.Results The contour of thyroid adenoma was distinct,a completely enhanced ring in 5 cases and enhanced nodules in 3 cases were showed on contrast-enhanced scan.4 cases of nodular goiter showed homogenous cystic low density the lesions were localized and distinct in contour,the cystic wall could be seen.Thyroid carcinoma appeared unhomogenous density,the edges contour of lesion was not distinct and infiltration on adjacent tissue might be seen.Conclusion CT scan might play an important role in diagnosis and differential diagnosis of thyroid neoplasm.

Objective To investigate the effect of two modes of ventilation on pediatric patients undergoing lung lobectomy.Methods Forty ASA Ⅰ～Ⅲ patients aged 2～10 years,undergoing lung lobectomy were randomly divided into VCV and PCV group(n=20).After general anesthesia,patients in VCV group were ventilated on volume-control mode maintaining 30min and then changed into pressure-control mode;patients in PCV group were ventilated on pressure-control mode maintaining 30min and then changed into volume-control mode.Ppeak,Pplat,Raw,MVI,MVE and EtCO2 were measured according to SSS monitor system.All the patients were treated with traumatic blood pressure measurement,and all the patients were analyzed during the period of pre-operation,30min and 60min after ventilation.Results Compared with VCV group,breathing mechanics MVI and MVE in the PCV group were increased(t=4.135,3.988,P＜0.05)and PaO2 in the PCV group was significantly increased(t=3.183,P＜0.05),as compared with those on volume-control mode.Conclusion PCV mode was benefit for preventing low oxygen in lung lobectomy surgery.

Objective: To research the application of perspective imaging of intense laser proton beam in tumor cells, experi-ments are carried out on an ultra-intense picosecond pulsed laser facility, and the results of perspective imaging on biological samples by high energy proton beam, which is excitated among the interaction of picosecond laser with solid target, is showed. Methods: The laser energy is 12 J, the pulse width of laser is 1.5 ps, the laser focal spot diameter is 15 μm, the coefficientf or the off-axis paraboloid lens is 1.5. The target used in the experiment is made by coating a CH film with 1 μm on the back of the 15 pan-thick Cu. The distance between the proton source (laser spot) and the ant sample is 7 mm (i.e. the object distance), the distance between the sample and the RC film is 63 mm (i.e. the image distance). The detector is a stack of RCF or CR-39 films. Results: The ant is taken as the sample, a high energy proton beam, which is excitated as above on the rear surface of target, makes a 2-dimensional perspective imaging of an ant with high contrast, nanometer spatial resolution and density reso-lution. Conclusions: The result provided possibility of the application of perspective imaging of intense laser proton beam in tumor cells.
