The present paper reports a determination of copper, zinc and aluminium in caudate nuclei in 8 adult cadavers and in 15 newborn cadavers by atomic absorption spectrophotometry using the graphite furnace atomizer. The results showed that the normal content of copper in the adult caudate nucleus was 24.04?8.93mg/kg dry tissue, zinc 129.92+89.17mg/kg and aluminium 2.38?0.77mg/kg. In the newborn cadavers, the normal contents of copper zinc and aluminium were 11.00+5.49, 75.35+27.52 and 1.72?0.56mg/kg dry tissue respectively. These results indicate that the data Iisted above in adults are higher than in newborn in fants.

Object To survey the worldwide medicinal plant resources of Illicium L Methods On the basis of herbarium, we studied on more than 10 000 speciemens of Illicium L from 121 Herbaria in 18 countries and the reviewed literature Results Fifteen species in Illicium L in the world belong to the medicinal plants, and they distribute in China, India, Burma and Vietnam In addition, the province scale distribution, habitat preference, and medicinal value are provided for each of the 15 medicinal plants Conclusion The medicinal plant resources of Illicium L from China are the most abundant in the world, and should be rationally exploited and widely utilized

Autophagy is a physiological process which delivers the mutant cytoplasmic proteins and dysfunctional subcellular organs into lysosomes for degradation to generate fuel in the deficiency conditions. It is mainly classified into macroautophagy, microautophagy and chaperon-mediated autophagy (CMA), as well as the selective autophagy such as mitophagy and aggrephagy. This review mainly introduces the key molecular markers of macroautophagy, CMA and mitophagy.

In order to study the light propagation in biological tissue, we analyzed the divergent beam propagation in turbid medium. We set up a Monte Carlo simulation model for simulating the divergent beam propagation in a semi-infinite bio-tissue. Using this model, we studied the absorbed photon density with different tissue parameters in the case of a divergent beam injecting the tissue. The simulation results showed that the rules of optical propagation in the tissue were found and further the results also suggested that the diagnosis and treatment of the light could refer to the rules of optical propagation.

Liver metastasis is the leading cause of death from colorectal cancer.Surgical treatment is so far the best choice for the treatment of colorectal liver metastases (CRLM).However,how to suitably select an individualized chemotherapy in perioperative period and surgical time and tool is still under controversy.Therefore,the key factors of improving the prognosis of patients with CRLM include overall evaluation of the patients and their preoperative examination outcomes,dividing patients into different groups based on different therapeutic goals,understanding different therapeutic goals of each group,selecting suitable chemotherapy and targeted therapy,ensuring surgical time (synchronous or stepwise resection) and tools (minimally invasive or open surgery) through multidisciplinary team model.

Objective To analyze the correlation of serum hs‐CRP and IL‐6 levels with cerebral hemorrhage volume and nerve function damage .Methods One hundred and two cerebral hemor‐rhage patients served as an experimental group and 64 individuals undergoing physical examina‐tion served as a control group in this study .The patients in experimental group were further di‐vided into mild damage group (n= 29) ,moderate damage group (n= 42) ,severe damage group (n=31) ,10 ml hemorrhage group(n=15) ,10 -30 ml hemorrhage group (n=52) ,and >30 ml hemorrhage group (n=35) .Their serum hs‐CRP and IL‐6 levels were measured on days 1 ,5 ,10 and 15 after admission .Results The serum hs‐CRP and IL‐6 levels in experimental group in‐creased gradually in the first 5 days ,reached their peak on day 5 and then decreased gradually (P<0 .05) .The serum hs‐CRP and IL‐6 levels were significantly higher in severe damage group than in mild and moderate damage groups ( P<0 .05) ,and in experimental group than in control group (9 .46 ± 1 .26 mg/L vs 4 .24 ± 0 .94 mg/L ,P=0 .02) .Conclusion The serum hs‐CRP and IL‐6 levels are related with cerebral hemorrhage volume and nerve function damage ,and can thus be considered as an important parameter in clinical testing .

Lyme disease is continuing worldwide spread and its prevalence still presents raising tendency.The causative agent is Borrelia Burgdorferi(Bb) and the special biological intermedia is ixodid ticks(Ixodes scaputaris).The current study on the genetic strain of Bb and the interpretation of laboratory diagnosis(microscopic,immunologic and biomolecular test)results as well as the preparation of vaccine for the disease are made in this review.

Objective:Peripherally inserted central catheter(PICC) has been application in clinical for many years,but the training in the knowledge about maintenance wasn't univesal systematically yet.To analyze the existed problems on the clinical peripherally inserted central catheter in washpipe technology and find out countermeasures. Methods: The self-made questionnaire was used to survey a total of 46 nurses in every department and make on-site operation demonstration. Results: Only 12 nurses' operation was completely correct and the correct rate was 26.1percent,which was related to the training,manager's attention,nurses' participate awareness. Conclusion: The training on nurses' operation of red tube needed to be strengthen.

AIM:To establish the quality standard for Siwei Jianghuangtang Powder(Rhizoma Curcumae longae,Cortex Berberidis,Fructus Phyllanthi,Fructus Tribuli). METHODS: Rhizoma Curcumae longae,Cortex Berberidis,Fructus Phyllanthi,Fructus Tribuli were identified by TLC,and the content of curcumin was determined by HPLC. RESULTS: The TLC for the identification of Rhizoma curcumae longae,Cortex Berberidis,Fructus Phyllanthi,Fructus Tribuli in the powder was accurate.While the content of curcumin was determined by HPLC,curcumin showed good linear relationship at a range of 0.022 4-0.179 ?g,r=0.999 7.The average recovery of curcumin was 99.4%(n=9) and RSD was 1.46% by HPLC. CONCLUSION: The method is specific,reliable and accurate.It can be used for the quality control of Siwei Jianghuangtang Powder effectively.
