The importance of course arrangement and standardization construction for the course of hyperbaric oxygenation medicine was expounded in this review.In addition,the measures and experiences on textbook choosing,teaching content assignment,teaching methods designing,assessment means innovation and teaching personnel training were also discussed.The teaching system of the course of hyperbaric oxygenation medicine can be improved and references for thc dcvelopment of clinical hyperbaric oxygenation medicine courses can be provided through these measures.

Resveratrol synthase (RS) plays a key role in resveratrol (Res) biosynthesis. RS gene has been formerly reported to be transformed into many plant species and microorganisms, and to play certain roles in metabolic and regulation processes. In this paper, the transformations of RS gene in plants, and the related changes of biological properties, such as metabolites, anti-pathogen activities, anti-radical properties, and developmental characters in transgenic plants, as well as the production of resveratrol in microbes by utilizing RS gene were summarized. Moreover, the application prospects of RS gene in bioengineering were also addressed.

BACKGROUND: The cerebral edema after brain injury is associated with the generation of oxygen-derived free radicals after ischemia reperfusion.Hyperbaric oxygen can relieve the cerebral edema and ameliorate the tissue hypoxia.OBJECTIVE: To observe the influence of hyperbaric oxygen on cerebral edema and the lipid peroxide after brain injury in rats.DESIGN: A random controlled trial.SETTING: Institute of Field Surgery, Daping Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Department of Hyperbaric Oxygen and the Fourth Room of the Institute of Field Surgery,Daping Hospital of the Third Military Medical University of Chinese PLA between March and June 2004. Fifty-eight 3-month-old Wistar rats of clean degree with the body mass of (256±23) g were used.METHODS: The 58 rats were randomly divided into control group (n=17),brain injury group (n=22) and hyperbaric oxygen group (n=19). The struck test was not conducted in the control group. The rats in the brain injury group and hyperbaric oxygen group were anesthetized, then the right calveria was struck with the BIM-Ⅲ striker, and closed brain injury was duplicated. After brain injury, rats in the hyperbaric oxygen group were placed into a hyperbaric oxygen chamber of 2 absolute atmospheric pressures for 2 hours, and the rats were killed at 24 hours after injury by taking blood from heart.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: The water content of brain tissue, content of Evans blue, and the contents of the lipid peroxide malondialdehyde (MDA) in brain and plasma after brain injury were observed.RESULTS: Totally 41 rats were injured, and 7 died after 24 hours, including 2 in the hyperbaric oxygen group and 5 in the brain injury group, and brain tissue: The water content of right brain in the brain injury group was obviously higher than that in the hyperbaric oxygen group and control group [(79.06±0.52)%, (78.38±0.37), (78.21±0.25)%, t=3.022-3.285, P ＜ 0.01]. In the brain injury group, the water content of right brain was obviously higher than that of left brain [(79.06±0.52), (78.57±0.14)%, t=2.651, P ＜ 0.05].injury group was obviously higher than that in the hyperbaric oxygen group and control group [(197.28±31.49), (167.65±25.88), (145.07±30.45) nmol/g,t=2.231-3.347, P ＜ 0.01-0.05]. In the brain injury group, the MDA content of right brain was obviously higher than that of left brain [(197.28of MDA: It was markedly higher in the brain injury group than in the control group [(2.69±0.54), (1.94±0.40) μmol/L, t=2.473, P ＜ 0.05].CONCLUSION: The hyperbaric oxygen therapy after brain injury can obviously decrease the water content and MDA content in brain tissue of the injured side, and such is the case with the MDA content in plasma,which is indicated that hyperbaric oxygen has a therapeutic effect on brain injury.

The instantaneous changes of the body cavities under the impact of blast waves were studied in three dogs. The changes were recorded with the high-speed photography of three different speeds (563, 1526, and 6526 frames/second). It was demonstrated that there was an 11.7% reduction on average of the body cavities due to compression after 0.777 kg/cm2 of overpressure was received.In correlation with the authors' previous research work and with the relevant literature, it is believed that the 11.7% reduction is likely related to the severe pulmonary injury which is resulted from the abrupt disturbance of hemodynamics after blast wave impact.

Objective By analysing the clinical features of Indigo Naturalis-associated ischemic lesion of colon mucosa to improve the precautionary and therapeutic level of the disease.Methods Thirteen patients diagnosed as Indigo Naturalis-associated ischemic lesion of colon mucosa in Peking University Third Hospital from 2005 to 2010 were reviewed.The endoscopic and clinical features were analysed.Results The 13 patients with an average age of(60.6±14.1)years old were prescribed Chinese traditional medicine containing Indigo Naturalis for psoriasis or idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura(ITP).The ratio of males to females was 1:1.6.The typical manifestations were abdominal pain and bloody stool with watering diarrhea before bloody stool in 61.5%patients.Endoscopic and pathological characteristics were coincident with ischemic lesion and more like a chronic index.Vasodilatic medicine was effective and the average hemostatic time was(1.7±0.8)days.The prognosis was well and no recurrence was found during 3 months follow-up.Conclusions Patients having psoriasis or ITP treated with Chinese traditional medicine containing Indigo Naturalis have an inclination to colon mucosa lesions, even ischemic lesion. Careful assessment and observation before prescribing arc necessary in these patients.

Objective:To investigate the effect of Chaenomeles speciosa total extract shikimic acid(SA) on the degranulation of compound 48/80(C48/80) stimulated rat peritoneal mast cells and the anti-inflammatory.Methods: Qualitative analysis of shikimic acid in the total extract of Chaenomeles speciosa by high performance liquid phase;RPMC were identified by toluidine blue,immunohistochemistry and electron microscopy;CCK-8 method was used to detect the proliferation of RPMC in each concentration group.The release rate of β-hexosidase was determined by substrate method.The content of histamine in supernatant was detected by ELISA.Results: SA had no significant effect on the growth of RPMC at the concentration of 0-90 μg/ml.Compared with the positive control group,SA could effectively inhibit the release of β-hexosidase and inhibit the secretion of histamine.Conclusion: SA inhibits the release of histamine in inflammatory mediators by inhibiting the degranulation of RPMC stimulated by C48/80,and then exerts anti-inflammatory effects.
