Sera were collccted from mice immunized separately with schizonts, merozoitcs or different parasite stages, or from mice which had been recovered from Plasmodium yoelii yoelii infection. The effect of protection of cach serum against P. y. infection was assayed by passivc transfer technique. It was shown that only sera collected from mice which either had been trcated with chloroquine or had been naturally recovcred from P. y. infections can transfer certain dcgree of resistance to normal mice. The cffectivc sera delayed the appearance and the peak of parasitemia, and prolonged the survival time of the challenged mice. After these sera were fractionatcd by 50%(NH4)2SO4 precipitation, the prccipitated fraction showed similar degree of protection as the non-fractionated sera. Chloroquine-treated serum was shown to be able to inhibit the invasion of new erythrocytes by marozoite in vitro. 35S-methionine-labelcd antigens were precipitated by protective or non-protective sera and the bands were compared on SDS-PAGE and autoradiogram. Since thc antigcn bands of 245, 210, 190, 156 and 130 KD can only bc precipitated by protective sera but not by non-protectivc sera, it is possible that the protection of chloroquine-treated serum is induced by the specific antibodies against the above antigens.

METHODS: Reviewed from January 2011 to January 2013, 21 cases (33 eyes) of degenerative entropion eyelid relaxation were treated with operation of strengthening lateral tarsal strip and advancing lower eyelid retractor ( fornix conjunctival incision ) , the follow-up was 12-24mo, curative effect was observed.
RESULTS: All the patients were cured completely, have no recurrence or overcorrection phenomenon. The cure rate of operation was 100%, there was no complication.
CONCLUSlON: Operation of strengthening lateral tarsal strip and advancing lower eyelid retractor is a safe, reliable, efficient operation to the treatment of degenerative entropion with mode of eyelid relaxation.

Objective To explore the clinical efficacy of tension-free vaginal tape obturator inside-outside(TVT-O)in the treatment of female stress urinary incontinence.Methods In this study,we enrolled the patients with stress urinary incontinence who were treated with TVT-O(n=72)or midodrine hydrochloride(n=72).The patient self-evaluation and the Results of pad test and urodynamic test 6 and 24 months after the treatment were compared.Results These 2 kinds of treatment significantly improved the symptoms in patients with stress urinary incontinence,and in patients treated with TVT-O the clinical efficacy 24 months after the treatment was better.Conclusion TVT-O is safe and effective in treating female stress urinary incontinence,and the long-term follow-up and the improvement of urodynamic indices show it is better than simple drug treatment.

Objective:To explore the anti-fatigue effect of Tibet maca in mice. Methods: The mice were respectively given the powder or the alcohol extract of Tibet maca. The lactic acid concentration in blood, serum lactate dehydrogenase ( LDH) , the time of weight loading swimming and serum urea ammonia level after the exercise in the mice were detected, and the anti-fatigue effect of the powder and the alcohol extract of Tibet maca was compared. Results: After the 30-day feeding, the serum LDH activity of the mice taking the powder or alcohol extract of Tibet maca was obviously higher than that of the mice in the control group(P<0. 05), the time of weight loading swimming was significantly longer than that in the control group (P<0. 05), and the blood lactic acid concentration after the exercise was obviously lower than that in the control group (P<0. 05). Conclusion: Tibet maca can improve the time of weight loading swimming of mice, and reduce the level of serum urea ammonia after exercise and blood lactic acid concentration, sug-gesting the powder and alcohol extract of Tibet maca have obvious anti-fatigue effect.

Objective To supply scientific basis for the reasonable development and utilization of Rubus multibracteatus Levl.et Vant.resources.Method The total flavonoids was extracted from Rubus multibracteatus Levl.et Vant.with 60% methanol and its content was determined by spectrophotometry.The reliability and repeatability of the method were tested through stability,repeatability,accuracy and recovery experiments.Result Both standard and tested solutions had the maximum absorbance at 510 nm.The RSD values of repeatability,accuracy and recovery experiments were 2.11%,0.97% and 2.4% respectively.The results of content determination showed that the total flavonoids in Rubus multibracteatus Levl.et Vant.was 3.8%.Conclusion Extracted with 60% methanol,colored with aluminiumnitrate and determined by spectrophotometry at 510 nm were suitable for the determination of total flavonoids in Rubus multibracteatus Levl.et Vant..

Objective To establish an in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation axon injury model in rat hippocampal neurons in order to found a basis for research concerning the injury of oxygen glucose deprivation and axons regeneration. MethodsThe hippocampal neurons isolated from rats 24 h after born and cultured for 7 d were exposed to D-hanks solution with nitrogen gas instead of the original culture medium for 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 h respectively, and then continue to be cultured in the original culture medium with oxygen. LDH content in the culture media was measured at 1, 5, 24, 48 and 72 h after reoxygenation. The morphological changes of neuron and axon were observed with inverted phase contrast microscopy. ResultsAfter oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation injury, hippocampal neurons became darker, swollen, and were with shorten axons. With the elapse of time, the LDH content was increased. The survival rate of hippocampal neurons was higher and the change of axon length was more obvious in the group of oxygen-glucose deprivation for 0.5 h than in the other groups. ConclusionAn in vitro oxygen-glucose deprivation/reoxygenation axon injury model in rat hippocampal neurons is successfully established.

Purpose:To evaluate the clinical effect of late-course hyperfractionated (LCH) radiotherapy and conventionally fractionated (CF) radiotherapy for local advanced non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Methods:From August 1995 to April 1998, 74 patients with inoperable stage Ⅲ NSCLC were randomized into two groups: CF and LCH. 37 patients in CF group received a fraction of 2 Gy daily, 5 days per week, to the total dose of 65～70 Gy /6.5～7 weeks. 37 patients in LCH group were treated with the same fractionation as CF group to the dose of 40 Gy, and then followed by LCH radiotherapy: 1.2Gy, twice daily, with the interval of 6 hours between fractions, to the total dose of 64 Gy/6 weeks. Results:The overall response rate in LCH group and CF group were 78.4%(29/37) and 62.2%(23/37) respectively, the difference was significant (P

Objective To evaluate the migrating regulation and ultrastructure of the corneal epithelial stem cells in human fetuses. Methods We examined the corneal cryosections of 14-38 weeks of gestation. Hematoxylin-eosin staining showed the stratified corneal epithelium and the corneal epithelial stem cells were localized by mouse monocolonal antibody against human 64-kilodalton keratin (mAE5), and the ultrastructure of the corneal epithelial stem cells was observed. Results At 14 weeks of gestation, the corneal epithelium was composed of a single basal cells layer and 1-2 superficial squamous cells layers. Some superficial squamous cells were mAE5 positive in the limbus as well as the central and peripheral cornea. At 17-29 weeks of gestation, the limbus epithelium developed from 3 to 5 cells layers and the central region from 2 to 3 cells layers. mAE5 positive cells were found in the suprabasal layers of all 3 regions examined but not in the basal layer. At 33-38 weeks of gestation, the corneal epithelium consisting of 4-6 cells layers was morphologically mature. mAE5 immunoreaction showed the negative cells were confined to limbus basal layer. The ultrastructure of basal layer cells showed they had more heterochromatin in the nucleus, less organells in the cytoplasm and less desmosomes among them. Conclusion The migration of corneal epithelial stem cells in the human fetuses was from the whole layers to basal layer and confined to limbus region finally, and their ultrastructure was immature.
