The physiological character,functions and applications of photosynthetic bacterium had been discussed,during biotransformation of teh com straw treated with ammonia in aerobic,anaerobic and natural conditions,Comparing the concentration of teh reductive sugar and teh protein in teh fermented borth,we suggest a good way of biotransformating teh corm straw by photosyntehtic bacterium.In the photosynthetic bacterium fermentation in which the com straw treated substrate,teh concentrations of the reductive sugar and the transformative reductive sugar and teh protein in teh fermented borth were higher thean those without ammonia. Analysis of the results shows theat the transformative reductive sugar and protein were the nourishment of photosynthetic bacterium,so theere may be a way that we harness the corn straw by teh photosynthetic bacterium.

Objective:To evaluate the specificity and sensitivity of ABI 7000,7300 and 7500 real-time PCR instruments.Methods:Random,double-blind clinical trial;We selected 30 patients with HBsAg and HBV DNA positive for positive group and 30 health volunteers with HBsAg and HBV DNA negative for negative group.We also selected three of HBV DNA positive and negative samples for repeat test.Results:The 30 samples of positive group were detected HBV DNA.The 30 samples of negative group were not detected HBV DNA.However,in positive group,the HBV DNA levels were different.The related index of ABI 7000 with ABI 7300,ABI 7500 and ABI 7300 with ABI 7500 was 0.89,0.89 and 0.98,respectively.The HBV DNA level was highest detected with ABI 7300 instrument,and then with ABI 7000 instrument.The lowest level was detected with ABI 7500 instrument.There was significance among these instruments(p

Objective To evaluate the relationship between Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4)/nuclear factor kappa B (NF-κB) signaling pathway and propofol-induced inhibition of endotoxin-induced release of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-α) from alveolar macrophages (AMs) of rats.Methods AMs extracted from adult male Sprague-Dawley rats were cultured and inoculated in 6-well plates (1 × 106 cells/well)and in 96-well plates (1×104 cells/well).The cells were divided into 5 groups (n=18 each) using a random number table:control group (group C),dimethyl sulfoxide group (group D),lipopolysaccharide (LPS) group (group L),propofol group (group P) and LPS plus propofol group (group L+P).The cells were continuously cultured with phosphate buffer solution in group C.Dimethyl sulfoxide was added at the final concentration of 5 mg/ml in group D.LPS was added at the final concentration of 1 μg/ml in group L.Propofol was added at the final concentration of 25 μmol/L (4.46 μg/ml) in group P.LPS and propofol were added at the final concentration of 1 μg/ml and 25 μmol/L (4.46 μg/ml),respectively,in group L+P.At 24 h of culture or incubation,the cell viability was detected by CCK-8 assay,the morphological changes of cells were observed using Wright's staining,the concentration of TNF-α in the supernatant was determined by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay,and TLR4 expression and NF-κB activities were measured by Western blot.Results Compared with group C,the cell viability and concentration of TNF-α in the supernatant were significantly increased,the expression of TLR4 was up-regulated,and the activity of NF-κB was enhanced in L and L+P groups (P<0.05),and no significant change was found in the parameters mentioned above in D and P groups (P>0.05).Compared with group L,the cell viability and concentration of TNF-α in the supernatant were significantly decreased,the expression of TLR4 was down-regulated,and the activity of NF-κB was weakened (P<0.05),the morphological changes of cells were significantly attenuated,and the number of pseudopodia was reduced in group L+P.Conclusion The mechanism by which propofol inhibits endotoxin-induced release of TNF-α from AMs is related to inhibited activation of TLR4/NF-λB signaling pathway in rats.

5.Advances in the research of spermatogonial stem cell.
National Journal of Andrology 2003;9(4):288-295
In recent years, people have paid more attention to the spermatogonial stem cells that have the capacity for self renewal and multilineage differentiation and produce daughter cells that can expand and differentiate into spermatozoa under the adjustment of self genes and external signal. This article reviews recent advances in studies of enrichment and original selection of the spermatogonial stem cells. This review also summarizes some control factors in proliferation and transplantation techniques.

Objective To investigate the role of hippocampal cyclophilin D (CypD) in sepsis-associated encephalopathy in rats.Methods A total of 36 adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 3-4 months,weighing 300-400 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (Sham group),sepsis group (S group),and sepsis + CypD inhibitor cyclosporin A group (CsA group).Sepsis was induced by cecal ligation and puncture (CLP).Cyclosporin A 6 mg/kg was injected intraperitoneally at 30 min before CLP in group CsA.All the animals underwent Morris water maze test on 4th day after CLP.The animals were sacrificed after the test,and the hippocampus was isolated for determination of the expression of cytochrome c (Cyt c),CypD,caspase-3,brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF),phosphorylated protein kinase A (p-PKA),and phosphorylated cyclic adenosine monophosphate response element-binding protein (p-CREB).Results Compared with group Sham,the escape latency was significantly prolonged,the space exploration time was shortened,the expression of Cyt c,CypD,caspase-3,p-PKA and p-CREB was up-regulated,and the expression of BDNF was down-regulated in S and CsA groups (P<0.05).Compared with group S,the escape latency was significantly shortened,the space exploration time was prolonged,the expression of Cyt c,CypD,caspase-3,p-PKA and p-CREB was down-regulated,and the expression of BDNF was up-regulated in group CsA (P<0.05).Conclusion Hippocampal CypD may be involved in the pathophysiological mechanism of sepsis-associated encephalopathy,and the downstream mechanism is probably related to promotion of activation of PKA/CREB signaling pathway in rats.

Objective To evaluate the efficacy of locally administered dexamethasone for prevention of low back pain after labor epidural analgesia.Methods Two hundred nulliparous parturients who required labor epidural analgesia,of ASA physical status Ⅰ or Ⅱ,were randomly divided into 2 groups (n =100 each) using a random number table:control group (group C) and dexamethasone group (group D)).In group D,lidocaine 4 ml and dexamethasone 1 ml (5 mg) were injected around the puncture site.In group C,lidocaine 4 ml and normal saline 1 ml were injected around the puncture site.Epidural puncture was performed after local administration.According to the results of epidural puncture,each group was further divided into two subgroups:single puncture group (Cs subgroup,Ds subgroup) and repetitive puncture group (Cr subgroup,Dr subgroup).The patients were followed up for 72 h,and the development of low back pain was recorded.Results Compared to group C,the incidence of low back pain was significantly decreased,and pain was reduced in group D.The incidence of low back pain was significantly lower in Ds group than in Cs group,and in Dr group than in Cr group.Conclusion Locally administered dexamethasone 5 mg is helpful in reducing low back pain after labor epidural anesthesia.

Objective To evaluate the preliminary outcome of stable vitiligo treatment with ReCell(R )technique.Methods Six patients with stable vitiligo were treated with ReCell(R ) technique.In each patient,a thin razor-thickness cutaneous biopsy was harvested from uninvolved area near the vitiligo patches.It was then processed through the ReCell(R ) system and 1 ml autologous epidermal cell suspension was obtained.The lesion area was dermabraded using a diamond fraise wheel to the dermoepidermal junction.The cell suspension was then sprayed on the wound and covered with non-adhering dressings.Results The patients were followed up for 6 months.5 patients presented with repigmentaion in the treated area.There was no significant response in one patient who was diagnosed as systematic vitiligo.Conclusions The ReCell(R ) technique is an alternative treatment for stable vitiligo patients.The clinical outcome will be satisfactory when appropriate patients are selected.
