Objective To explore the capacity of the Sweden CellaVision DM96 automatic digital cell morphology analysis sys‐tem (DM96) in nucleated cell classification of serous cavity effusion .Methods 36 specimens of serous cavity effusion were selected from the inpatients of Second Affiliated Hospital of Xi′an Jiaotong University in March 2015 and performed the Wright staining by the two kinds of method ,the Japanese Sysmex SP‐1000Ⅰ automatic smearing machine and manual smearing ,after staining ,the smear was performed the nucleated cells classification by DM96 .The consistency and relevance of the classification results by DM 96 with those by the Sysmex XT‐4000i were calculated .Results The classification results by DM96 had better consistency with the results by XT‐4000i ,moreover the cell images taking by DM96 were clear with high automatic degree .Conclusion The DM96 auto‐mated digital nucleated cell morphology analysis system is reliable and effective ,and has a significance for improving the cellular morphological analysis of serous cavity effusion specimen .

Objective To study the role of polyamines(putrescine,spermidine and spermine) in regulating ornithine decarboxylase(ODC) protein levels in the early regenerating liver of rats. Methods Exogenous polyamines(dissolved in 0.9% NaCl) were administered subcutaneously to adult male SD rats(180～220g).The ODC protein levels in the regenerating liver induced by partial hepatectomy(PH) were measured by Western blotting analysis. Results The treatment with high doses of putrescine( 20 mg/kg body weight),spermidine(0.15 mg/kg body weight) or spermine(6 mg/kg body weight) reduced the ODC protein level compared with the control group within 12 hours after PH.However,the treatment with low doses of putrescine(0.02 mg/kg),spermidine(0.03 mg/kg) or spermine(0.06 mg/kg) resulted in a rapid increase in the protein level in the 4th hour after PH,which was 15.1%,29.5% or 30.3% higher than that of control rats respectively.Conclusion Polyamines with certain doses play a role in the feedback regulation of ODC protein levels in the early regenerating liver,where spermidine and spermine play a greater role than putrescine dose.

Objective:To screen the best extraction process of four medicinal materials in Simiao Junyi ointment by analgesic ex-periments. Methods:The analgesic experiments were performed by the hot-plate test and writhing test in mice to select the best extrac-tion process of four medicinal materials in Simiao Junyi ointment. Results:According to the results of level consistency check, the data of hot-plate test in mice in different groups had no significant difference, and the pesticide effect of Simiao Junyi ointment prepared by different extraction process was similar. However, the data of writhing test had significant difference. The extraction process of the oint-ment with the best analgesic activity was as follows:pepper and rhizoma corydalis were extracted by SFE-CO2 , myrrha and pseudo-gin-seng was extracted by 95% and 50% ethanol, respectively. Conclusion: The optimal extraction process tested by analgesic experi-ments is scientific, reasonable and feasible, and suitable for the research and development of modern traditional Chinese medicine preparations.

Objective The regulation of ornithine decarboxylase (ODC) gene expression and enzyme activity by corticosterone, the main glucocorticoid in rat, during rat liver regeneration induced by partial hepatectomy (PH) was evaluated.Methods Bilateral adrenaleetomies (ADX) and sham-ADX were performed on ether-anesthetized rats 3 days before PH.Corticosterone in sesame oil was injected subcutaneously to adrenalectomied rats. ODC mRNA, ODC protein and enzyme activity were detected by RT-PCR, Western blotting and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), respectively. Results The ODC mRNA levels, protein accumulation and enzyme activity were lower in the intact liver compared to the regenerating liver.After PH, mRNA levels were remarkably enhanced in all groups (n=6 in each group) and peaked at 5 hours post-PH. Till 7 hours, the contents in all groups from high to low were ADX group,control group (Sham-ADX group), ADX treated with 10mg/kg and 40mg/kg body weight corticosterone group, respectively. ODC protein accumulation in ADX rats was higher than that in control rats (n=13, the same below), but it decreasod in corticosterone-treated (10mg/kg) rats until 24 hours post-PH, with a strong decline seen in 40mg/kg corticosterone-treated rats. ODC activity was rapidly promoted, and the highest levels were observed at 6 hours after PH in all groups (n=6 in each group). After corticosterone treatment, the activities declined significantly at 6 hours post-PH, with the lowest value found in the 40mg/kg group. Conclusion Corticosterone treatment results in dose-dependent decreases in ODC mRNA and enzyme protein both in the intact liver and the regenerating liver. The change in ODC activity is partially related to alterations of ODC mRNA and protein accumulation.

Promotion of outstanding people to head nurses is key to hospital nursing management.In view of the current shortcomings in the analysis of appraisal data and the interpretation of appraisal results,the analysis of means(ANOM)method is introduced to the process of hospital human resource management.The proposed method aims to solve the problem when the score differences between interviewers are great and the score differences between candidates are small.An example for head nurses' promotion appraisal in a hospital is offered to demonstrate that statistical tools can provide the decision support for hospital personnel selection.Finally,the application differences between ANOM and analysis of variance(ANOVA) in human resources appraisal are compared.

Objective To set up the quality standard of Wanbile Wan. Method s Fructus Psoraleae, Radix Puerariae, Radix paeoniae Alba and Radix Glycyrrhiza e Preparatae in Wanbile Wan were identified by TLC .Isopsoralen was determined b y TLC scanning. The chromatographic conditions were: high performance silica gel G plate as lamellated plate, n- hexane - ethyl acetate (8 ∶ 2)being the exp ander, serrated scanning with single- wavelength reflection, beam stricture of 0.4? 0.4 mm, linear parameter SX=3 and scanning wavelength at 300 nm. Results The TLC spots were highly specific, clear and concentrated without interferen ce of the presence of negative controls. Isopsoralen showed a good linearity wit hin the range of 0.064～ 1.536 ? g, r=0.9980, average recovery rate was 100.7 % , and RSD was 2.0% .Conclusion This method can be used for the quality co ntrol of Wanbile Wan.
