Aim To provide experimental basis to study Human Cytomegalovirus(HCMV)infected disease and filtrate anti-virus drugs, HCMV acute interstitial pneumonia murine model was established. Methods Balb/c mice were infected with HCMV AD_ 169 strain. The rate of breath and weight of mice were observed, specific anti-HCMV antibody in serum was detected by ELISA, and viral isolation, Polymerase chain reaction(PCR) and pathological examination of lung tissue were performed aswell. Results Compared with the control group, the rate of breath of mice in the group infected with HCMV increased, while their weight decreased (P

OBJECTIVE: To research the content of alkaloids and polysaccharides in different varieties of Aconitum carmichaeli. METHODS: The contents of total alkaloids, diester diterpenoid alkaloids and polysaccharides were measured by acid dye colorimetry, HPLC and sulphuric acid-anthrone colorimetric method respectively. RESULTS: In different varieties, the differences of total alkaloids and diester diterpenoid alkaloids were significant. However, the difference of polysaccharides wasn’t significant. The content of total alkaloids and diester diterpenoid alkaloids in processed A. carmichaeli reduced significantly while the content of polysaccharides increased slightly. CONCLUSION: The results of study could provide a scientific basis for rational breeding of A. carmichaeli.

Phospholipid fatty acids are the major constituents of the membranes of all living cells, and different groups of microorganism synthesize a variety of PLFA through various biochemical pathways. Several PLFAs can be used as "signatures" to analyze changes in microbial biomass and microbial communities structure. More and more PLFA method was used in soil microbial analysis. This article briefly reviewed the applications of PLFA methods in soil microbial analysis.

Objective To study the efficacy and side effects of Ganciclovir combined with L-ornithine-L-aspartate on infant cytomegalovirus(CMV) hepatitis.Methods Sixty infants with CMV hepatitis hospitalized in our hospital from Dec.2009 to Dec.2010 were treated with ganciclovir combined with L-ornithine-L- aspartate.The parameters observed in the study included the pre-and post-treatment data on total Bilirubin (TBIL),alanine aminotransferase (ALT),alkaline Phosphatase (AKP)and the retraction of liver and spleen,as well as the adverse reactions of the treatment.Results The treatment significantly decreased serum TBIL (t =5.74,P ＜ 0.05 ),ALT( t =2.92,P ＜ 0.05 ) and liver( t =8.27 P ＜ 0.05 ) and spleen volume ( t =5.03,P ＜0.05).However,side effects such as liver damage and rash occurred occasionally during the ganciclovir treatment.Intravenous infusion of L-omithine-L-aspartate caused side effects such as vomiting and other mild gastrointestinal reactions.Conclusion The treatment of Ganciclovir combined with L-ornithine-L-aspartate on infant cytomegalovirus hepatitis created good efficacy and can be considered as the first treatment choice.Though it is relatively safe,adverse reactions should be monitored during the treatment.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the p27~(kip1) expression and the change of radiosensitivity of esophageal cancer cells.Methods Radio-resistant cells (EC9706R) were gradually isolated by means of repeated gamma-ray irradiation (6 000 cGy in total) upon human squamous esophageal carcinoma cells (EC9706).The radiosensitivity of these two types of cells was measured by standard colony formation assays,their cell cycle distribution analyzed by flow cytometry respectively,and the p27~(kip1) expression detected by immunocytochemistry.Results As compared with their parent cells,the isolated human squamous esophageal carcinoma cells(EC9706) showed clearly greater radio-resistance(for EC9706R,SF_2=65.71%,D_0=2.20 Gy,D_q=1.61 Gy,N=2.07,and for EC9706,SF_2=46.72％,D_0=1.61 Gy,D_q=0.99 Gy,N=1.85;SF_2,D_0,Dq and N were all higher).As to the cell cycle distribution,the population of G_1 phase cells in EC9706R cells was significantly decreased,but the proportion of S phase cells was significantly increased as compared with the parent cells.Immunocytochemistry revealed that the p27~(kip1) expression of EC9706R cells was clearly lower than that of EC9706 cells.Conclusion Cell phase change due to the decrease of p27~(kip1) expression may be one of the mechanisms of the generation of radio-resistance in esophageal cancer cells.

Objective: The sustained release curcumin solid lipid nanoparticles (Cur-SLN) and long circulating solid lipid nanoparticles (LSLN) were prepared, and the physicochemical properties of the two nanoparticles were investigated. Methods: Cur-SLN was prepared by emulsification ultrasonic method, and then the entrapment efficiency and drug loading of Cur-SLN prepared under the optimal formulation were determined. Cur-LSLN was prepared by back-extrapolation method, and the physicochemical properties of Cur-SLN and Cur-LSLN were evaluated by entrapment efficiency, drug loading, particle size, and Zeta potential; DSC was used to analyze, in vitro release characteristics and the transmission electron microscope (TEM) was used to observe particle appearance. Results: Based on the optimal conditions, TEM showed that the appearance of Cur-SLN and Cur-LSLN were spherical or nearly spherical, the entrapment efficiency respectively were (89.15 ± 0.66)% and (92.97 ± 0.27)%, drug loading were (1.72 ± 0.08)% and (1.98 ± 0.08)%, average diameters of particles were (144.5 ± 4.1) nm and (155.0 ± 2.6) nm, and the mean Zeta potential were (-23.6 ± 0.2) mV and (-47.8 ± 1.8) mV. Through DSC detection, it can be determined that Cur in nanoparticles had been transformed into amorphous state. In vitro release test showed that the drug release of the two preparations was divided into two stages: burst release phase and sustained released stage, the release rate was fast in 12 h, and the cumulative release of Cur-SLN in 96 h was 86.63%, and Cur-LSLN was 76.98%, so Cur-LSLN showed better sustained-release effect. Conclusion: Cur-SLN and Cur-LSLN can be successfully prepared by emulsification ultrasonic method, and PEG modified nanoparticles have better sustained-release properties and prolong the time of the presence of drug in vivo, providing reference for the development of targeted drugs.

Objective: To study the possibility of liposomes to ta rget hepatocytes af ter being linked with asialofetuin(AF). Methods: The biodistribu tions in differen t cells in liver as well as in blood, in various organs such as heart, spleen, l ung and kidney of mice, of traditional sterically stabilized liposomes(SSL) , AF-linked normal liposomes(AF-NL) and AF-linked sterically stabilized lipos ome s(AF-SSL) were studied by radioisotopic labeling. Results: The half-live s of SSL, AF-NL and AF-SSL were 14.44, 4.73 and 11.49 h， respectively. The di strib ution of liposomes in liver was AF-NL>AF-SSL>SSL. There was significant differenc e among these three formulations. In hepatocytes and non-hepatocytes, the conce ntr ations of the liposomes were both in line with the sequence AF-NL>AF-SSL>SSL( P <0.05). However, the ra tios of the concentrations in hepatocytes to that of non-hepatocytes were AF-N L≈AF -SSLSSL( P <0.05). Conclusion: After being labeled with asi alofetuin, liposomes can target hepatocytes very we ll， whether in long-circulation or not.

Objective　To approach the relationship betwe en glycosaminoglycan metabolism in cartilages and pathogenesis of KBD.Methods　Rhesus monkey was fed with grains and water from KBD endemic area for 18 months to produce the animal model with KBD . The glyc osaminoglycans in the monkey cartilage were extracted by the improved Dish method of Bitter. Purified glycosaminoglycans were digested with chondroitinaseABC, and the enzymatic digests were analyzed by HPLC. Results　Comparing with those of the control, the glycos aminoglycans in the head of femur, tibia plateau and costal cartilage from the Rhesus monkey fed with grains and water from KBD endemic area were undersulfated . Decreased unsaturated 4-sulphated disaccharide (△Di-4S) from the glycosa minoglycans in the head of femur and tibia plateau and decreased unsaturated 6- sulphated disaccharide (△Di-6S) from the glycosaminoglycans in the costal cart ilage were discovered.Conclusions　Detrimental factors in grains and water from KBD endemic area cause undersulfate of the cartilages glycosaminoglycans from Rhesus monkey. The glycosaminoglycans changes have a direct bearing on the patho logical alterations in morphology on the cartilages from the animal model with K BD.
