The experiment included three potassium levels (K0 0 g x kg(-1), K1 0.33 g x kg(-1), K2 0.67 g x kg(-1)) and two water gradients (well watered and drought stress), then measured growth indicators, SOD, POD, CAT activities and concents of osmotic regulation substances. To explore the effects of K fertilizer and water on growth and physiological characteristics of Isatis indigotica, providing reference for improving drought resistance of I. indigotica. The result showed drought stress inhibited the growth and decreased the biomass of I. indigotica but K fertilizer can alleviate the drought stress. Compared with K0 treatment, K1, K2 treatment increased the biomass of overground part of by 89. 13% ,60. 87% under drought stress. The corresponding increase in soluble sugar content was 16.67%, 5.00%, and in proline content was 42.41%, 65.62%, respectively. SOD,POD and CAT activities was significantly improved in K1, K2 treatment in comparison with K0 treatment under drought stress, but soluble protein content significantly reduced. The conclusion is that appropriate amount of K fertilizer can increase the activities of antioxidase and the content of osmoregulation substance under drought stress, and improve drought resistance of I. indigotica.

The Her-2 proto-oncogene encodes a 185kDa transmenbrane glycoprotein p185 which has intrinsic tyrosine kinase activity. It is overexpressed in several malignant human tumors like breast cancer. A chimeric antibody by assembling a single-chain Fv antibody and a human IgG1 Fc fragment was constructed. This chimeric antibody reacts with tumor surface antigen p185c-erbB-2 specifically. In order to put the antibody into clinical application, two steps purification method was used to attain the antibody’s purity more than 95%. Both the lyophilized pharmaceutical formulations of the antibody were found. The formulations can keep the stability and activity of the antibody for at least one year. These results were the foundation of the chimeric antibody for cancer therapy.

Objective To investigate the expression and significance of hypoxia-inducible factor-1α (HIF-1α) in the retinal neovascularization by metabolic acidosis in newborn rats. Methods One hundred and twenty newborn SD rats were randomly divided into acidosis (experiment) and normoxia (control) groups. A total of 60 newborn rats in experiment group underwent tubal feeding day for 6 days and followed by a period of recovery. The rats in the two groups were sacrificed at the 3rd, 5th, 8th, 10th, 13th and 20th day after birth, respectively. The morphologic changes of retinal vessels were estimated by observing the vascular pattern in adenosine diphosphatase stained retina flat mounts. The newborn vessels were quantified by HE staining. Immunohistochemical method was used to detect HIF-1α expression. Results In experiment group, numerous neovascularization and un-perfused area at the periphery of vessels occurred on the 10th day. The result of HE staining showed that in experiment group of 10-day old,the number of neovascular nuclei extending into the vireo was 28.78±7.53, and that of the control group was 1.22±1.48 (t=11.169,P<0.01). The results of immunohistochemistry revealed that the expression of HIF-1α protein were stronger in the experiment group than in the control group on the 8th, 10th and 13th day, and there were significant differences between the two groups (108.87±15.21, 183.68±26.58 and 129.42±9.85 vs 74.98±4.50, 76.38± 3.38 and 74.78±1.86, t=4.625, 9.023 and 9.672,P<0.05). Conclusions HIF-lα might play an important role in retinal neovascularization.

Objective To develop subjective well-being simplify scale (SWBSS),and examine its reliability and validity.Methods A self-report SWBSS containing 13 items was developed on college student and research literature.2374 college students completed SWBSS,Index of Well-Being(IWB),World Health of Organization Quality of Life Brief Scale (WHOQOL-BREF),Beck Depression Rating Scale (BDI) and Self-rating Anxiety Scale(SAS).Results ①Exploratory factor analysis results showed that SWBSS had 1 factor,and accounted for 41.768％ of variance.②Confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that x2/df =2.208,RMR =0.016,RMSEA =0.032 ; GFI =0.986,AGFI =0.974,NFI =0.978,RFI =0.966,IFI =0.988,TLI =0.981,CFI =0.988 ; PGFI =0.552,PNFI =0.639,PCFI =0.646 ; construct reliability =0.901.③The Cronbach'α coefficient,split-half reliability,stability coefficient of SWBSS was 0.876,0.817 and 0.740 (P ＜ 0.01).The SWBSS scores was significantly correlated with the scores of IWB,WHOQOL-BREF,BDI and SAS (r =0.706 ～ 0.892,r =-0.650 ～-0.580,P＜0.01).Conclusion The stability,internal consistency,and validity of the SWBSS are good and meet with psychometric standard.

Objective To investigate the relationship between TNF-α, IFN-γand intestinal muco-sal permeability in a mouse colitis model and its inhibiting effect by balsalazide. Methods Forty-five C57BL/6J mice were divided randomly into five groups. Normal group was only fed with distilled water, DSS group and balsalazide groups at doses of 42, 141,423 mg/kg were both fed with 5% DSS. Balsalazide was given by intragastric administration. At the end of the experiment, colon tissue was collected for assessment of histological index(HI) and the MPO activity. Small intestinal mucosa was collected for assessment of the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ,transmission electron microscope(TEM), and detection of permeability by Ev-arts blue method. Results Compared with normal group, DSS group mice all manifested severe weight loss associated with hematocbezia and diarrhea, HI score, and the colon MPO activity and the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ were increased significantly. Intestinal mucosa showed a thinning of microvillous carpet, with de-curtated and broaden junctional complex and enlarged intercollutar space under TEM observations. The amount of Evans blue permeated into intestinal wall was obvious. Compared with DSS group, the HI score, the MPO activity and the content of TNF-α and IFN-γ were decreased by balsalazide. The amount of Evans blue permeated into intestinal wall was less. Ileal microvillous carpet was ameliorated dose dependently by balsalazide. Conclusion In DSS-induced colitis model, the change of the content of the TNF-α and IFN-γ, was accordance with the increase of intestinal mucosal permeability while balsalazide can significantly amelio-rate intestinal mucosal permeability by its anti-colitis effect.

Objective To study the effects of quantitative 24-hour urinary protein on the thyroid hormone levels in patients with severe preeclamp-sia,and clarify the impact of severe urinary protein on hypothyroid in severe preeclampsia patients. Methods A total of 166 patients with severe pre-eclampsia were recruited for the study and divided into mild proteinuria group(2.0-4.9 g/d),midrange group(5-10 g/d)and severe group(>10 g/d)according to the quantitative 24-hour urinary protein. 268 healthy female individuals with normal blood pressure and uric routine in the same stage of pregnancy and of the same age were selected into control group. Serum thyrotropin(TSH),free triiodothyronine(FT3)and free thyroxine (FT4)levels were determined by solid-phase chemiluminescent enzyme immunoassay method(CMIA). The thyroid peroxidase antibody(TPOAb) and thyroglobulin antibody(TGAb)concentration were detected by electrochemiluminescent assay(ECLIA). Results TSH levels were signifi-cantly higher in patients comparing to the control group(P<0.01). In addition,severe group showed higher TSH levels than mild group(P<0.01). FT4 and FT3 levels were obviously decreased with the progression of the disease(P<0.01 and P<0.05). The positive rate of TPOAb in mild group was significantly higher than that in moderate group(OR=9.8,P<0.05). There was no significant difference of the TGAb positive rate among three patient groups(P>0.05). The incidence of subclinical hypothyroidism and clinical hypothyroidism in severe group was significantly higher than that in mild group and in control group(OR=2.5,P<0.05 and OR=9.0,P<0.05;OR=8.0,P<0.01 and OR=43.4,P<0.01). Conclusion Our re-sults indicated that 24-hour urine protein in severe preeclampsia patients has extensive effects on thyroid hormones levels. With the increasing of quantitative 24-hour urinary protein,the level of TSH increased and the FT4 decreased. Thyroid autoantibody positiveness has extensive effects on 24- hour urine protein. Incidence of hypothyroid increased with the increase of quantitative 24-hour urinary protein. 24-hour urinary protein quantitative was a risk factor for hypothyroidism in severe preeclampsia patients. More attention should be paid to the monitoring of 24-hour urinary protein in se-vere preeclampsia patients.
