Objective To test the allergen‐specific‐IgE in different districts for bronchial asthma children ,and analyze the re‐sults .Methods The blood samples of bronchial asthma children which selected from Heyuan City and Shenzhen City were detected by using German Ormond Western Blot Method reagents .Results The total positive rate of bronchial asthma children′s allergen‐specific‐IgE from Heyuan was 61 .7% .The positive rate of inhalation allergen was 43 .4% .The top three of inhalation allergens were house dust(41 .7% ) ,combination of mole(33 .3% ) ,the dog epithelium(20 .0% ) .The positive rate of food‐borne allergen was 36 .7% .The top three of food‐borne allergens were milk(33 .3% ) ,peanut(23 .3% ) ,beef(11 .7% ) .The total positive rate of bron‐chial asthma children′s allergen‐specific‐IgE from Shenzhen was 86 .7% .The positive rate of inhalation allergen was 73 .3% .The top three of inhalation allergens were combination of mole (63 .3% ) ,house dust (61 .7% ) ,The Liu/Yang/Elm combination (33 .3% ) .The positive rate of food‐borne allergen was 58 .3% .The top three of food‐borne allergens were shrimp(31 .7% ) ,crab (28 .3% ) ,the cod/lobster/scallop combination(21 .7% ) .Conclusion There were different parterns of the positive rate of bronchial asthma children′s allergen‐specific‐IgE in different districts .

AIM To observe the clinical efficacy of Maixuekang Capsules (hirudin) combined with female progestational hormone treating blood-stagnated cryptogenic hypomenorrhea and their mechanism of action.METHODS Ninty eligible patients were randomly and equally divided into treatment group (Maixuekang Capsules combine with female progestational hormone) and control group (female progestational hormone),treated for three menstrual cycles,the menstrual blood volume,blood D-dimer,maximum platelet aggregation rate,the thickness of endometrium,spiral artery blood flow peak systolic velocity (PSV),resistance index (RI) and pulsatility index (PI) were recorded during the three months period.RESULTS The menstrual blood volume of the two groups were all increased post-treatments (P < 0.05),the treatment group was superior to the control group (P < 0.05);blood D-dimer and maximum platelet aggregation rate of the treatment group had reduced post-treatments (P < 0.05),there was no difference in the two values of the control group between post-treatment and pre-treatment (P > 0.05);the thickness of endometrium of the two groups were both increased after the treatment (P < 0.05),while there was no remarkable statistical difference between the two groups (P > 0.05);RI in the treatment group had remarkable reduction post-treatments (P < 0.05),but there was no remarkable difference of RI in the control group (P > 0.05);there was no statistical difference of PSV and PI in both groups before and after the treatment (P > 0.05).CONCLUSION The combination treatment of Maixuekang Capsules and female progestational hormone can obviously increase menstrual blood volume,improve uterine blood perfusion and endometrial microcirculation.It has more advantages than use hormones alone.

Gut microbiota constitute a complicated but manifold ecosystem, in which specific symbiotic relationships are formed among various bacteria. To maintain a steady state, the gastrointestinal tract and the liver form a close anatomical and functional two-way, interconnected network through the portal circulation. "Gut-liver axis" plays a key role in the pathogenesis of liver diseases. Accumulating evidence indicates that gut microbiota can influence the liver pathophysiology directly or indirectly via a variety of signal pathways. In a pathological state where an ecological imbalance occurs at the compositional and functional levels, gut microbes would interact with the host immune system and other type of cells to cause liver steatosis, inflammation and fibrosis, which in turn give rise to the development of such liver diseases as alcoholic liver disease, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, primary sclerosing cholangitis, and acute liver failure, to name a few. Studies have shown that microorganisms, such as prebiotics and probiotics, can improve the prognosis of certain diseases, which open a new era of treating liver diseases with bacteria. There are many unknowns and hidden values in the gut microbiome. To explore the pathophysiological mechanism of various complex diseases and develop scientific and effective clinical treatment strategies, efforts should be made to obtain insights into how certain intestinal microbiota participates in the occurrence and progression of liver diseases. As the connection between gut microbiota and liver diseases at both the acute and chronic phases was not elaborated in previously published review articles, herein we discuss the association between gut microbiota and both acute and chronic liver injury. The anatomical structure of the liver enables it to form a close network with the gut microbiota, which is an important mediator in the regulation of the hepatic physiological and pathological functions.

Bacillus spp. are probiotics and can secrete a variety of natural antimicrobiol active substances, of which lipopeptides are an important class. Up to now, about 90 lipopeptides have been identified, and most of them are cyclic lipopeptides. surfactin, iturin, fengycin, bacillomycin and polymyxins are widely studied, and the first three have huge potential for application due to their properties of surfactants and anti-fungal, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-tumor and anti-inflammatory functions. In this paper, the research progress in the structure, function, synthesis regulation, separation, purification and production of surfactin, iturin and fengycin was reviewed. Synthetic biology is a vital means to increase the yield of lipopeptides, and in the future, lipopeptides can be used in crop cultivation, animal farming, food, medicine and petroleum industries as well as environmental protection. Future research should be strengthened on the discovery of new lipopeptides, synthesis of high-activity lipopeptides, economical production of lipopeptides on a large scale and their safety evaluation.
