Using 22 monoclonal antibodies (McAbs) as probe to analyse the antigenic determinants of crystallized Tian Hua Fen (THF) or Trichosanthin protein in ELISA additivity test was reported. The 22 McAbs were come from five fusions, each from different fusion well. The isotype of 22 McAbs were identified by immunodiffusioo test, 20 McAbs belong to IgG_1 subclass, 1 IgG_(2a) subclass and 1 IgM class. Based on the results obtained from ELISA additivity test, 22 McAbs could be clustered into six distinct groups. It indicates that there are six different antigenic determinants in crystallized THF, each can be recognized by some McAbs. The results coincide with the calculation of B cell recognized antigenic determinants obtained by prediction from amino acid sequences of THF protein, The work has laid a foundation for further exploring the structure-function relationship of THF protein on molecular level .

Objective:To explore the application value of multislice spiral CT scanning on abdomen for the detection of complication of acute pancreatitis.Methods: 120 patients with acute pancreatitis were divided into observation group (70 cases) and control group (50 cases) according to different detection method. The patients of control group were applied basic clinical detections included X-ray radiography and ultrasound imaging, while patients of observation group were supplemented CT detection besides these detections of control group. And situation of complication of patients in two groups were observed.Results: The positive rate of complications, which involved pancreatic pseudocyst, cellulitis, complications of gastrointestinal tract, pancreas hemorrhage and pancreatic ascites, in observation group was 97.14%, that was significant higher than that (62.0%) of control group (x2=24.74,P<0.05). Among 20 patients with pancreatic pseudocysts, there were 9 patients located at tails of pancreases, 6 patients located in bodies of pancreases, 3 patients located in small omental bursas, 2 patients located at heads of pancreases, and the CT images of them showed quasi-circular liquid form density lesions with clear boundaries appeared in lesion field. The CT images of cellulitis showed the volume of pancreas increased and the boundaries were fuzzy, and a larger range of density lesions with irregular soft tissue shape appeared in its periphery. CT detetions of gastrointestinal complications showed fuzzy point-shaped, strip-shaped and flake-shaped soft tissue-styled density shadow appeared in gastrointestinal tracts. The CT image of pancreatic ascites showed intraperitoneal fluid density shadow.Conclusion: Abdominal CT scan applied on patients with acute pancreatitis can increase the positive rate of complications and may be used as preferred detection method for clinical evaluation on the complications of acute pancreatitis.

Objective To observe the space-time patterns of damaged outer hair cells(OHCs) in rat cochlea at the early stage after exposure to impulse noise. Methods Wistar rats were exposed to 100 emissions of impulse noise (3 seconds interval between each emission) at 154 dB SPL. Four times (10 min, 30 min, 3h and 6h) after the noise exposure, the animals were sacrificed and the organs of Corti were processed for detection of OHC death modes. The apoptotic and necrotic OHCs were distinguished by propidium iodide (PI), a fluorescent probe specifically labeling the nuclear DNA. The specimens were examined under a fluorescence microscope for assessment of OHC damage. Results Nuclear chromatin began to shrink as the chromatin condensed around the nuclear periphery. The peripheral chromatin ring condensed into discrete mass. Chromatin masses appeared to bleb off from the nuclear surface, forming apoptotic bodies at 10 min after the noise exposure. There were a few swollen nuclei appeared 30 min after the noise exposure. Loss of OHC nuclei could be seen 3 h after the noise exposure. The cochlear lesion expanded to contain a large number of missing OHCs and seriously shrunken nuclei at 6 h after the noise exposure. Conclusions The results of the study indicate that death of OHCs takes place extremely rapid after the impulse noise exposure. The apoptosis of OHCs precedes necrosis. OHC apoptosis is a quick process. Most of dead outer hair cells were eliminated 6 h after the noise exposure.

Objective To evaluate preoperative bronchial atery infusion(PBAI) chemotherapy combined with surgery for patients with stage III A non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC). Methods Seldinger procedure was used to insert the tube to bronchial artery branch which supplied blood to the tumor. The chemotherapeutic drugs were infused through the tube. After 1～3 courses of PBAI chemotherapy, the patients received operation. The patients receiving surgical treatment without PBAI chemotherapy at the corresponding period were chosen as control group. The radical resection rate and survival rate of the two groups were analyzsed. Results The response rate (CR+PR) of PBAI chemotherapy was 66.8%, and radical resection rate (90.3%) in PBAI chemotherapy group was significantly higher than that in control group(61.1%,P

Objective Little is known about the influence of congenital heart disease on the phannacodynamies of neuromuscular blocking agents. The aim of this study was to compare the pharmacodynamics of rocuronium in children with cyanotic and acyanotic heart disease. Methods The study was conducted in two parts. In part Ⅰ , 36 children with congenital heart disease scheduled for open heart surgery were allocated into 3 groups (n=12) : acyanotic group; slightly cyanotic group and severely cyanotic group. Neuromuscular blockade was monitored after administration of 0.6 mg ? kg-1 rocuronium. In part Ⅱ , 40 children with congenital heart disease were allocated into acyanotic and cyanotic group ( n = 20). The children in each group were further divided into 4 subgroups of 5 patients according to the dose of rocuronium the children received : 120, 180, 240 and 300 ?g? kg-1 . The dose- response curve for neuromuscular blockade was constructed and ED50 , ED90 and ED95 were calculated. SPSS 8.0 software was used for statistical analysis.Results In part Ⅰ the onset time (the time from injection of rocuronium to 95% depression of neuromuscular transmission) was significantly longer in severely cyanotic group [(2.25 ? 1.27) Min] than in acyanotic group [(1.17 ? 0.15) min] . There was no significant difference in the duration of action and recovery time among the 3 groups. In part Ⅱ the dose-response curve shifted to the right in cyanotic group compared with acyanotic group. ED50, ED90 and ED95 were significantly higher in cyanotic group than in acyanotic group. Conclusion The onset time of rocuronium is prolonged and the sensitivity of the patients to rocuronium is decreased in patients with cyanotic heart disease.

BACKGROUND:Nitric oxide can interfere with the function of mitochondria, and accelerate the intervertebral disc damage and degeneration by interfering with the release of inflammatory cytokines. Nitric oxide is an important inflammatory cel medium leading to degeneration of intervertebral disc induced by pressure and other external factors.
OBJECTIVE:To investigate the regulatory effect of nitric oxide and nitric oxide synthase inhibitor niacinamide on mitochondrial function and its association with biological behavior of rabbit nucleus pulposus.
METHODS:Cultured nucleus pulposus cel s of rabbit lumbar intervertebral disc were randomly divided into six groups:normal blank control group, 10μmol/L sodium nitroprusside group, 100μmol/L sodium nitroprusside group, 200μmol/L sodium nitroprusside group, 0.05 g/L nicotinamide group (100μmol/L sodium nitroprusside+0.05g/L nicotinamide), and 0.5 g/L nicotinamide group (100μmol/L sodium nitroprusside and 0.5 g/L nicotinamide). Different doses of nitric oxide donor sodium nitroprusside and nicotinamide were added in the medium of each group. Three days after intervention, cel proliferation activity, intracel ular ATP concentration, cel nitric oxide synthase activity, cel ular reactive oxygen species level, and mitochondrial membrane potential were detected respectively.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:(1) After 3 days of rabbit nucleus pulposus cel s intervened by different concentrations of sodium nitroprusside, intracel ular nitric oxide synthase content increased with sodium nitroprusside volume increase, and ATP concentration decreased along with sodium nitroprusside volume increase;there were significantly differences between the normal control group and sodium nitroprusside groups (P<0.01). (2) Reactive oxygen species could be increased in the sodium nitroprusside group. Niacinamide groups indicated a dose-dependent manner to improve the increase of cel ular reactive oxygen species levels with sodium nitroprusside intervention (P<0.01). (3) In the sodium nitroprusside groups, nucleus pulposus cel membrane potential decreased. In the niacinamide groups, sodium nitroprusside-induced decline in mitochondrial membrane potential was reduced (P<0.01). (4) Niacinamide groups also indicated a dose-dependent manner to improve the proliferative activity of nucleus pulposus cel s as compared with sodium nitroprusside groups (P<0.01). Significant differences were determined between the two groups (P<0.01). (5) Results suggest that the excess nitric oxide can damage mitochondrial metabolic function of rabbit nucleus pulposus cel s and cause cel energy metabolism. Niacinamide can reverse these damages by inhibiting nitric oxide synthesis, thereby contributing to the prevention against intervertebral disc degeneration.

Objective To compare the efficacy of two-incision microinvasive and modified Harding approaches for total hip arthroplasty in aged patients.Methods From May 2003 to December 2006,21 old patients(aged 82 on average) received two-incision microinvasive total hip arthroplasty in our hospital.The outcomes of the surgery was compared with those of 39 cases(mean age,83),who underwent the operation through the modified Harding approach.Results No significant difference was observed in intraoperative blood loss between the two groups [(270?94) ml vs(280?107) ml,t=-0.360,P=0.720].On the 2nd day after the surgery,the patients in the two-incision group could raise their legs straight upward without needing help.At day 10,they could raise the legs straight up to a mean of(53?12)?,which was significantly higher than that in the Harding group [(32?16)?,t=5.262,P=0.000].However,the Harris scores were similar in both the groups in 6 months after the operation(80.6?12.6 vs 79.5?13.2,t=0.313,P=0.756).The incidence rates of orthopedics and systemic complications in the two-incision group was not significantly different from those in the Harding group [9.5%(2/21) vs 8.1%(3/37),?2=0.000,P=1.000;19.0%(4/21) vs 37.8%(14/37),?2=2.210,P=0.137].Conclusions The short-term outcomes of microinvasive two-incision total hip arthroplasty is better than that of modified Harding approach in aged patients.However,the long-term results of the two procedures are similar.
