The spleen cells from the BALB/C mouse immunized with the type B toxoid were fused with aNS-1 myeloma cell line. The superatant containing the hybridoma-formed cells with growing pores wasscreened by EL1SA, in which 66.7% the pores could secrete the specific antibodies against botulin.After a Subclonizing culture by the limiting dilution technique four hybridoma cell lines(3B10, 3B11, 3G12 and 4A5) were established and could secrete the specific antibodies persistently in the culture medium. in which antibody titers came to 10-3-10-5, while they were injected into the BALB/C mice intrape ritoneally ascites rich in antibodies with a titer of 10-5-10-8 was produced. The results testing the (our monoclonal antibodies with the type A and B toxoids showed that the antibodies of 3G12and 4A5 were specific for the type B toxoid, and those of 3B10 and 3B11 had light cross reaction with the type A toxoid. Identification of 1g showed that the antibodies of 3B10 and 3G12 were of IgG1, while those of 3B11 and 4A5 of IgG2. The chromosomal assay confirmed the four cell lines to be hybridoma. The neutroligation test in mice revealed that those four monoclonal antibodies did not show any protective effects on botulin.

The nutrition and food hygienic character of the degreased castor protein in Neimeng autonomous region were studied by chemical analysis and rat experiment. Using casein as reference protein and soy flour as comparable substance, the contents of major nutrients and composition of essential amino acids in the degreased castor cake and its protein efficiency ratio (PER) and other indicators related to nitrogen metabolism in the animal experiment were studied by the recommended method of AOAC. Some harmful substances in the samples were examined quantitatively. The results showed that the protein content, the PER, the true digestibility, the biological value, and NPU of the degreased castor cake were 35.80%, 1.75-1.76, 62.51%, 91.16 and 57.04 respectively. The blood indicators and pathological observation of tested rats were normal. The content of several harmful substances in the product was allowable. The essential amino acid composition of the degreased castor protein was similar to soy protein. So the detoxified degreased castor cake protein could be used in food or feed industry.

Aim To investigate whether liver X recep- tors attenuate high glucose-induced apoptosis in H9C2 cells through inhibiting nuclear factor-NF-κB.Methods The lentiviral vector of LXRs was constructed and H9C2 cells cultured in high glucose were infected.The H9C2 cells were divided into 6 groups:control group (5.5 mmol·L -1 glucose),mannitol group(5.5 mmol ·L -1 glucose +27.5 mmol·L -1 mannitol),high glu-cose group(33 mmol·L -1 glucose),green fluorescent protein(GFP)group LXRαgroup,and LXRβgroup. The inhibition rate of H9C2 cells,the mRNA of Bax, Bcl-2,the protein content of NF-κB,Bax,Bcl-2, cleaved caspase-3,and the cell apoptosis were com-pared among these groups.Results LXRs overexpres-sion significantly attenuated high glucose-induced in-crease in Bax NF-κB,cleaved caspase-3 and cell ap-optosis(P <0.05),and increased high glucose-induced decrease in Bcl-2.Conclusion Liver X receptors at-tenuate high glucose-induced apoptosis in H9C2 cells through NF-κB signaling pathway.

Objective To compared analgesic effect of sufentanil and fentanyl in surgery patients during mechanical ventilation, and to explore the rational dosage of analgesic and sedative drugs. Methods A prospective randomized controlled trial was conducted. 600 postoperative critically ill patients underwent mechanical ventilation for 12-72 hours admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of the Second Affiliated Hospital of Kunming Medical University from April 2013 to March 2015 were enrolled. They were randomly divided into two groups, sufentanil and fentanyl was used for analgesia respectively, and 300 patients in each group. The initiate dosage of sufentanil and fentanil was 5 μg/h and 50 μg/h, and the dosage was adjusted. A postoperative pain score (Prince-Henry score) of 0-1, and Richmond agitation-sedation scale (RASS) score -1-0 were targeted. 1 mg/kg of propofol was used if patient could not fall in sleep or felt anxious after loading dose of sufentanil (5 μg) or fentanil (50 μg) for 5 minutes. The use of analgesic drugs, the proportion and dosage of propofol was observed in the two groups, and adverse reactions were recorded. Results The mean dose of sufentanil for analgesia was (0.07±0.02) μg·kg-1·h-1, and the mean dose of fentanyl was (0.67±0.12) μg·kg-1·h-1. The patients in the two groups received propofol 40 to 60 mg/h in night, and the use proportion of propofol in sufentanil group was slightly less than that in fentanyl group (25.7% vs. 28.3%), but the difference was not statistically significant (P > 0.05). It was found by subgroup age analysis that, the mean analgesic dose of sufentanil or fentanyl in patients over 80 years old was lower than that in 70-79 years, 60-69 years and < 60 years groups but without statistical significance. There were 11 cases (3.7%) and 21 cases (7.0%) patients suffered from respiratory depression in sufentanil group and fentanyl group, respectively, without statistical significance (P = 0.069). The hemodynamics of patients in two groups was stable during analgesia, and no accidental extubation due to restlessness was found. Conclusions A smaller dose of sufentanil for postoperative patients underwent mechanical ventilation with satisfactory analgesia was (0.07±0.02) μg·kg-1·h-1, but need to be added with 40-60 mg/h and a small dose of propofol to improve anxiety and sleep. The proportion of patients needing propofol addition was slightly lower than that of fentanyl.

Purpose Median arcuate ligament (MAL) compression is the most common reason for celiac artery stenosis or occlusion, celiac artery compression of asymptomatic MAL is often misdiagnosed. This study aims to evaluate the multi-slice spiral CT manifestations of the celiac artery compression of median arcuate ligament. Materials and Methods CT features of 26 patients with celiac artery compression of median arcuate ligament were retrospectively studied. Eleven cases were symptomatic and fifteen cases were asymptomatic. Results In 14 cases (53.8%), the location of compression was at the level of superior 1/3 of the L1 vertebral body. There was statistic difference in location of the origin of compression between the celiac artery narrowing group and the non-narrowing group (P<0.05). CT manifestations included: narrowing of the celiac artery were observed in 26 patients on sagittal reformatted images with hollow on the anterior wall; a characteristic hooked appearance was observed. Narrowed celiac artery on the transverse images was seen in 21 patients, and a soft-tissue band extending across the anterior aspect of artery in 12 of them. Poststenotic dilatation was revealed in 20 patients. Collateral circulation was seen in 8 patients. Conclusion Multi-slice spiral CT can be helpful in demonstrating the location of celiac artery compression of median arcuate ligament and tell the characteristic imaging features.

Enramycin is a polypeptide antibiotic and new, safe animal feed additive. A new purification process was developed, based on pre-purification by macroporous resin and refining by reversed phase chromatography. AB-8 macroporous resin was used for the pre-purification process of enramycin, with an elution buffer of 0.012 mol/L aqueous HCl solution-methanol (50: 50, V/V). Then, enramycin a and enramycin b were separated effectively by C18 reversed phase chromatography, with a elution buffer of 0.05 mol/L aqueous KH2PO4 solution-acetonitrile (70: 30, V/V, pH 4.5). The purities of enramycin a and enramycin b were up to 98.5% and 98.0%, respectively. The yield reached 29.2%. This study would provide a useful reference for the preparation of enramycin a and enramycin b with a high purity.

Objective To establish the cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation model in rats, and to observe the effect of mild hypothermia on autophagy in hippocampal CA1 neurons after ROSC.Methods A total of 36 Wistar rats were randomly divided into two groups: normal temperature treatment group(NT group) and mild hypothermia treatment group(HT group).To establish the cardiac arrest-cardiopulmonary resuscitation(CA-CPR) model in rats by epicardial electrical stimulation induced ventricular fibrillation, and to sacrifice 3 animals in each group to obtain the brain cortex in 2nd and 4th hours after ROSC in order to observe the expression of p-AMPK by electron microscope and LC3 granules through Western blot.The neurological deficit score(NDS) was assessed in 24、48、72 hours respectively after ROSC.To sacrifice the animals so as to take the cerebrum in 72 hours after ROSC, then calculate the apoptotic index of the hippocampal CA1 neurons, which were dyed through TUNEL method.Results The expression of p-AMPK、Beclin-1 and LC3-Ⅱ/LC3-Ⅰratio in Normothermia group were all lower than the Mild hypothermia group(P<0.05), the neurons plasma of hippocampal CA1 area in the Hypothermia group demonstrated obvious LC3 granules formation, the NDS score of the Normothermia group and the Mild hypothermia group in ROSC24h、ROSC48h、ROSC72h were 320vs205、285vs140、266vs120, respectively.The apoptotic index of the hippocampal CA1 area in the Normothemia group in ROSC72h was higher than the Mild hypothermia group,(P<0.05).Conclusions Mild hypothermia after cardiopulmonary resuscitation promotes autophagy of the hippocampal CA1 area neurons in rats and reduce neuronal apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the coagulation system status and the pulmonary hemorrhage in children with severe hand,foot and mouth disease(HFMD)and approach the clinical significance of early detection of coagulation function. Methods By prospective case design method,89 cases with HFMD admitted to Department of Critical Care Medicine of Hebei Provincial Children Hospital from July 2010 to July 2012 were enrolled. The children were divided into severe group(46 cases)and critical group(43 cases)according to the severity of disease,and the children in critical group were subdivided into survivor group(26 cases)and non-survivor group (17 cases). Forty-four healthy children with the same age and in the same period were served as healthy control group. The blood of children was collected immediately after admission for determination of blood routine, prothrombin time(PT),thrombin time(TT),activated partial thrombin time(APTT),fibrinogen(Fg),and D-dimer (DD). Results There were no significant differences in PT,TT,APTT and Fg among severe group,critical group and health control group(all P>0.05). The blood platelets count(PLT)in severe group and critical group was significantly lower than that in health control group(×109/L:245±130,237±156 vs. 389±120),while the DD was significantly higher than that in healthy control group(mg/L:0.34±0.67,0.41±0.08 vs. 0.24±0.13),and the DD in critical group was obviously higher than that in severe group(all P<0.05). The mortality rate in critical group was 39.5%,and there were no significant differences in PT,APTT,Fg,TT and PLT between survivor group and non-survivor group(all P>0.05),but the DD in non-survivor group was significantly lower than that in survivor group(mg/L:0.60±0.09 vs. 0.12±0.09,P<0.05). Conclusions In children with severe or critical HFMD, the coagulation factor and blood platelet were in a state of mobilization,mild consumption state with the existence of fibrinolytic inhibition,but without systemic bleeding tendency,therefore it is in a compensatory stage of disseminated intravascular coagulation(DIC),not the mechanism of pulmonary hemorrhage. The monitor of DD has its clinical significance in evaluations of the disease situation and its prognosis.

Objective To study CD35on erythrocytes and erythrocyte chemokine recepter(ECKR)in patients with psoriasis in order to explore red blood cell(RBC)innate immune function and its possible role in the pathogenesis of psoriasis.Methods The rapid natural immune reaction on cancer cells was measured with RBCs isolated from fresh blood.Expression of CD35on erythrocytes was detected by flow cy-tometry.The level of IL-8,which was bound to isolated erythrocytes,was measured by enzyme linked im-munosorbent assay(ELISA)in the supernatant after centrifugation,which represented ECKR binding activity.Results Rosette formation rates of RBC adhering to cancer cells and expression of CD35on RBCs were significantly higher in psoriatic patients than those in control group(P

OBJECTIVETo explore the role of adipokines including insulin, resistin, leptin, adiponectin, acylation stimulating protein (ASP) and complement C3 (C3) in various types of obesity (peripheral obesity, abdominal obesity and mixed obesity) in Chinese children and adolescents, and their relationships with body size and pubertal development.

METHODSChildren and adolescents (n=3 508) aged 6 to 18 years, with 1 788 boys and 1 720 girls were assessed for body mass index, waist circumference, pubertal development, blood insulin, resistin, leptin, adiponectin, ASP and C3 levels. Three types of obesity [peripheral obesity (n=43), abdominal obesity (n=473), mixed obesity (n=1 187)] and non-obese control (n=1 805) were defined with combined use of Chinese body mass index and waist circumference criteria.

RESULTSSerum resistin, leptin and adiponectin levels were higher in girls than those in boys (all P<0.01). Insulin and leptin increased and adiponectin decreased across five Tanner stages in both girls and boys (all P<0.001), while ASP changed only in girls (P<0.001) and C3 only in boys (P<0.001). Insulin, leptin and ASP were higher, but adiponectin was lower in all three types of obesity vs. the non-obese control (all P<0.05). The greatest abnormalities of all six adipokines were found in the mixed obesity group. With inclusion of body mass index and waist circumference in simultaneous regression analyses, both body size indices were independently and significantly correlated with insulin, leptin and adiponectin after age and gender adjustment. Compared with waist circumference, the body mass index was stronger in interpreting insulin, leptin, adiponectin and ASP levels, whereas it was weaker in explaining variance of plasma C3.

CONCLUSIONObese children have a worse metabolic profile with high insulin, resistin, leptin, ASP and C3, and low adiponectin levels. The adipokine profile in mixed obesity is worse than that in peripheral or abdominal obesity. Identification of obese subjects with a malignant adipokine profile using a combination of body mass index and waist circumference is important for the prevention of obesity-related disease.
