[Abstract ] Toll like receptor 4 (TLR4) is a key member of the Toll like receptor family , and is a major receptor for lipopo-lysaccharide ( LPS) .After stimulating with LPS , TLR4 activation could cause the release of a series of inflammatory factors , and acti-vate the immune response of the organism .In recent years , LPS/TLR4 signal transduction has been widely studied , and it has become the most important research hotspot in the inflammatory reaction and its control method .In this paper , we review the recent progress of molecules involved in TLR 4 signaling pathway and their regulatory mechanisms .

OBJECTIVE: To establish GC-MS method for the determination of the Menthol in inclusion complex of compound essential oil-? -cyclodextrin. METHODS: Menthol was determined with ion fragment peak ( M/Z=71) . The chromatographic column was DM-5 fused silica capillary column ( 0. 25mm? 30m) ; the internal standard was naphthol and the temperature programming was 80～ 180℃ . RESULTS: The calibration curves of Menthol were linear in the ranges of 1. 344～ 10. 752? g? mL-1( r=0. 999 8) and the average recovery was 97. 52% , RSD=1. 56% . CONCLUSION: The method is rapid, accurate and reproducible, and suitable for the quality control of the same kind of the preparation.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of clozapine on blood glucose and insulin levels in schizophrenic patients. METHODS:This is a self-controlled study in which the levels of blood glucose and insulin in clozapine group(n=63) were compared before and after treatment,and which were compared with the levels in the control group(n=64).Insular cellular antibody(ICA) and insulin autoantibody(IAA) were detected in patients with high level of blood glucose.RESULTS:After treatment for 8 weeks,the blood glucose level was increased in clozapine group as compared with the same group before treatment and the control group,showing significant differences(P

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the distribution and drugs resistance of pathogenic bacteria causing nosocomial infection over 2 years in our hospital.METHODS:A total of 4 653 strains of pathogens were analyzed statistically by retrospective study.RESULTS:Among 4 653 strains of pathogens,709 were fungi(15.2%),1 078 were Gram-positive cocci(23.2%)and 2 866 were Gram-negative bacilli(61.6%).Over the 2 years,the detection rates of extended spectrum ?-lactamase-producing Escherichia coli and Klebsiella spp.were 36.5% and 27.9%,respectively.The average resistance rate of Gram-positive cocci to penicillin,oxacillin,cefazolin,erythromycin,Co-trimoxazole and ciprofloxacin over the 2 years were 84.5%.The average resistance rate of Gram-negative bacilli to ampicillin was 96.0% and to cefotaxime,cefepime,gentamycin,Co-trimoxazole,ciprofloxacin and aztreonam were 52.7% in 2 years.CONCLUSION:Over the 2 years,Gram-negative bacilliin strains causing hospital nosocomial infections increased,Gram-positive cocci strains remain stable,but fungous infection showed a decline tendency.In view of the increasing drug resistance,rational use of antimicrobial agents should be stressed in the clinic.

Objective To investigate the epidemiological and clinical characteristics of an outbreak of tsutsugamushi disease in Chuzhou region, Anhui Province, and to clarify the new changes of epidemic focus of tsutsugamushi disease in China. Methods Field epidemiological investigation and analysis of clinical features were done. The detections of specific antibodies against Rickettsia tsutsugamushi were conducted to diagnose tsutsugamushi disease using colloidal gold immunochromatography assay combined with Well-Felix reaction. The geomorphic and climatic characteristics of the new epidemic focus were investigated. Results The outbreak occurred from October to November, 2007. The epidemic focus located on mountainous brushland regions, and the air temperature fluctuated from 20-4 ℃. Nineteen cases of tsutsugamushi disease in the new-found epidemic focus were finally diagnosed, 9 cases out of them were hospitalized, another 9 had recovered when diagnosed by serological tests; the remaining one had classical manifestations of tsutsugamushi disease but did not receive the serological test for certain cause. The main clinical symptoms were chilly in 14 cases, fever in 19 cases, headache in 15 cases; among the 9 hospitalized patients, the symptoms were lymphadenectasis in 8 inpatients, skin rash in 7 inpatients, splenomegaly in 4 inpatients and skin eschar and ulcer in 7 inpatients and Weil-Felix reaction by OXκantigen positive in 4 cases; the specific antibodies against Rickettsia tsutsugarnushi of 18 tested cases were all positive. No severe complications occurred in all patients. Before the first case was identified, all other cases were not diagnosed in time and did not receive correct antibiotic treatment. Nine hospitalized patients recovered rapidly with the treatment of doxycycline. Conclusions The outbreak of tsutsugamushi disease in Anhui Province in 2007 is type of emerged in autumn and transitional epidemic focus. There is epidemic focus of tsutsugamushi disease in northern region of Anhui Province. Doxycycline is rapid and effective for the treatment of tsutsugamushi disease.

The polymorphism in the exon 4 of FcRL3 gene was evaluated by PCR-FPLR in 506 patients with Graves' disease (GD), 80 with Hashimoto thyroiditis (HT) and 261 normal subjects in Chongqing. The data suggest that 82G allele in exon 4 of FcRL3 gene may be susceptible to GD in male patients of Chongqing Hart nationality.

Objective To study the effect of microRNA-204 (miR-204) on the biological characteristics of breast cancer cells.Methods Real-time PCR was used to detect the expression of miR-204 in human breast cancer cell MDA-MB-231 after transfection of miR-204 mimics and inhibitor for 48 h.Flow cytometry was used to analyse the effect of miR-204 on the proliferation and apoptosis of MDA-MB-231 cells.The effect of miR-204 on the migration of MDA-MB-231 cells was detected by Transwell migration assay.Results Real-time PCR analysis showed that miR-204 mimics and inhibitors had significant effect compared with normal control group(P<0.01).Flow cytometry analysis showed that compared with normal control group,the number of G1 phase cells of miR-204 mimics group was significantly decreased(P<0.01),while the number of G2/M cells of miR-204 mimics group was significantly increased(P<0.01).In contrast,the number of G1 phase cells of miR-204 inhibitor group was significantly increased(P<0.01),while the number of G2/M cells of miR-204 inhibitor group was significantly decreased(P<0.01).miR-204 mimics group significantly promoted apoptosis,while the inhibitor group significantly inhibited apoptosis(P<0.01).Transwell migration analysis showed that the number of cells of miR-204 mimics group were significantly reduced,while the number of cells was significantly increased in the inhibitor group(P<0.01).Conclusion We find miR-204,which can promote cell apoptosis and inhibit cell proliferation and migration,is a negative factor in the breast cancer cell line MDA-MB-231.
