Objective To determine the contents of Poloxamer in contact lens care solution by spectrophotometric method,and investigate the effect of the other lubrication composition on the measurement. Methods Five brands of contact lens care solution with hydroxypropyl methyl cellulose(HPMC)were obtained.The interference of HPMC in contact lens care solution was removed by heating and rapid filtering,and the contents of Poloxamer was determined by KI-I_2 spectrophotometry. Results For the pre-treated contact lens care solution,the tested wavelength was 500 nm and the development time was 120 min.Favourable linearity was observed when Poloxamer ranged between 0.001 mg/mL and 0.020 mg/mL,with standard curve of Y=0.050 91X+0.017 15 and r~2=0.998 2.Precision(n=6)test revealed that RSD was 1.331 4%,and RSD of daytime repeatability experiment was 2.971 3%.The recovery rates of 80%,100%and 120% samples ranged between 90%to 105%. Conclusion KI-I_2 spectrophotometry is a convenient,stable and reliable method,and may sere as a mass control method for nonionic surfactant Poloxamer content in contact lens care solution.

Objective: To observe the morphological changes of enteric deep muscular plexuses interstitial cells of Cajal (ICC-DMP) in rats with multiple organ dysfunction syndrome (MODS). Methods: Forty Wistar rats were randomly divided into control group and MODS model group. The enteric ICC-DMP network was observed using c-kit immunohistochemical staining with whole-mount preparation technique and confocal laser scanning microscopy , and the ultraslructural features of ICC-DMP was evaluated using transmission electron microscope. Results: Compared with those in control group, the distributions and densities of intestine ICC-DMP in MODS group were significantly decreased (P < 0. 05) , the ICC-DMP network was disrupted and the ultrastructural features of ICC-DMP were severely damaged. Conclusion: The ICC-DMP network was severely damaged in rats with MODS, and the mechanism of gastrointestinal dysmotility in MODS may be related to the morphological changes of ICC-DMP.

Objective To verify the best treatment strategy in reducing prostate specific antigen (PSA) progression and death rate in patients with locally advanced prostate cancer by a meta-analysis. Methods The literature search strategy was followed according to the Collaborative Review Group search strategy. Published data of randomized clinical trials comparing radical prostatectomy (RP) plus adjuvant therapy to either RP alone or other treatment were analyzed. Both fixed effect model and randomized effect model were applied and odds ratio (OR) with its 95% confidence interval (95% CI) was also used as the effect size 'estimate. Results Eight clinical trials were chosen with total in-volved cases of 3826. There were 5 trials compared post radical prostatectomy plus adjuvant hormonal therapy with radical prostatectomy alone. PSA progression was used as the indicator of progression and the combined OR was 0.86 (95%CI 0.48-1.56). There were 3 trails compared the combination of radical prostateetomy with hormonal therapy and radical prostatectomy alone. Disease specific death rate was used as the evaluating criteria and the OR was 0.72(95%CI,0.51-1.02). Conclusion RP plus adjuvant hormonal therapy can reduce PSA progression of patients with locally advanced pros-tate cancer, but it has no significant effect on disease specific death rate.

Objective To establish a fast and sensitive method to detect Plasmodium sporozoites in mosquitoes. Methods Anopheles anthropophagus (An.a) artificially infected with Plasmodium vivax (P.v), Anopheles dirus (An.d) infected with Plasmodium falciparum (P.f) and both of P.v and P.f, field mosquitoes of Anopheles sinensis (An.s) captured in epidemic seasons were detected by nested-PCR. Results The results of 28 batches of An.a infected with P.v, 2 batches of An.d with P.f and 1 batch of An.d mixed with P.v and P.f by nested-PCR were accorded with the microscopical examination absolutely. Two positives of 589 An.s field mosquitoes were discovered with a positive rate of 0.34%. Conclusion The nested-PCR is fast and sensitive for detecting different species of Plasmodium in mosquitoes.

Objective To understand the malaria epidemic situation and characteristics in Jiangsu Province in 2012,so as to provide the evidence for formulating and adjusting effective malaria elimination strategies and measures. Methods The reported malaria cases from the Internet Reporting System and the epidemiological data of malaria in Jiangsu Province were collected and analyzed. Results A total of 198 malaria cases were reported in Jiangsu Province in 2012 with the incidence of 0.026/10 000, which decreased by 47.06%compared with that in 2011(374 cases). A total of 198 malaria cases were reported from 13 prefec-tures of Jiangsu and the cases were mainly distributed in Yangzhou(34 cases),Nantong(31 cases),Nanjing(22 cases),Tai-zhou(21 cases),Xuzhou(17 cases)and Huaian(17 cases),which accounted for 71.72%(142/198)among the total cases of the province. There were no local malaria cases reported from Jiangsu in 2012,and the imported malaria cases from other countries de-creased by 45.15%compared with that in 2011. Conclusions For the first time,there are no local malaria cases reported from Ji-angsu in 2012. However,the imported case distribution is further expanded and the infected plasmodium parasites are more di-verse. Imported malaria from other countries remains the key for malaria control in Jiangsu Province.

Objective To understand the resistance of Anopheles vectors to pyrethroid after several years mosquito control with the impregnated bed net method. Methods The resistant level was measured by the tentative diagnostic dose and degree method of China combined with the standard methods of WHO. Results In the area after more than 5 years mosquito control with the impregnated bed net method, An.sinensis had initial resistance to deltamethrin and permethrin. However, An.anthropophagus did not be captured. In the area after less than 5 years mosquito control with the impregnated bed net method, both An. sinensis and An.anthropophagus were susceptive to deltamethrin and permethrin. Conclusion In this research, no resistance of An.anthropophagus to deltamethrin and permethrin has been found. An.sinensis has initial resistance to them. So we must pay more attention to monitor the resistance in future malaria control programs.

Objective To discuss the malaria control strategy and its effects in different stages during past 30 years, and search anti-malaria measures fit for the current situation. Methods The historical anti-malaria and epidemical data in Jiangsu Province during the past 30 years were collected and analyzed. Results 6216128 malaria cases were reported in the province in 1973, and the incidence was 1136.34/10000. Through the five anti-malaria stages in past 30 years, the epidemic has been effectively controlled gradually. Six hundred and thirty-eight malaria cases were reported in the province in 2003, and no individual locally infected with P.falciparum was found for 16 successive years. Conclusion The anti-malaria strategy of the five stages is basically suitable for the actual situation of malaria control in Jiangsu Province.

AIM: To investigate the differentiative and apoptotic effect of CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides on HL60 cells and its mechanism. METHODS: After HL60 cells were exposed to synthetic CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides, non-CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides or ZpG-oligodeoxynucleotides for 72 hours, respectively, the inhibition of HL60 cells were detected using MTT method, NBT test was used and CD14 expression were determined. Apoptosis of HL60 cells were mensurated with flow cytometry and transmission electron microscope, and caspase 3, Bcl-2 and Bax expression of HL60 cells treated with oligodeoxynucletides were detected using immunohistochemistry. RESULTS: Treatment with CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides induced the differentiation and apoptosis in HL60 cells, but non-CpG-oligodeoxynu- cleotide and ZpG-oligodeoxynucleotide had no effect on HL60 cells. CONCLUSION: CpG-oligodeoxynucleotides can induce the differentiation and apoptosis in HL60 cells. It may provide a new approach for the immunological treatment of leukemia.

BACKGROUND: Blood platelet is active commonly appeared in both acute and recovery stages in ischemic cerebral apoplexy. Cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cGMP) are closely correlated with the blood platelet function.OBJECTIVE: To observe the therapeutic effects of compound danshen drop on clinical prevention and treatment of transient cerebral ischemic attack (TIA) and the influence on serum cAMP and cGMP.DESIGN: Randomized control experiment.SETTING: Department of Neurology of Binzhou Medical College affiliatedHospitalPARTICIPANTS: Totally 180 TIA patients participated in the experiment in volunteer in the clinic of Neurological Department of Affiliated Hospital of Binzhou Medical College from September 2000 to April 2001.
