Objective To provide reference basis for protection and sustainable utility of S. baicalensis by a large scale of nationwide resources survey of Scutellaria baicalensis Georgi in China. Methods On the basis of literature research, survey was conducted on geographical distribution, resources reserves, recovery and growth of the resources status etc. of S. baicalensis. Results The wild resources of S. baicalensis was wildly distributed in the emperate zone in north of China and the distribution was discontinuous. Large differences were showed between different populations in entironment, coenotype and plant morphology. The cultivated resources of S. baicalensis were mainly distributed in Shanxi, Hebei, Gansu, Shandong provinces and Inner Mongolia autonomous region. There were diverse cultivation models and differences existed in production and quality in different regions. Conclusion Destruction of the wild resources and unstable of the resource quality were two main problems of S. baicalensis resources. It was suggested that researches on quality formation and control should be carried out, and institutional guarantee was essential to protect and sustainable use the plant resources of S. baicalensis.

Objective To evaluate the efficiency of Flixotide in decreasing the incidence of asthma following bronchiolitis.Methods 23 children with brochiolitis received Flixotide daily while other 29 subjects not intervented as control.The intervention duration was 60 days,then followed up for more then 1 year.Results After following up over 1 year,only 3 cases in 29 patients with brochiolitis receiving Flixotide developed into asthma.However,24 cases in control group developed into asthma.The incidence of asthma was 13.04% and 82.76% in two group,respectively.Conclusion Flixotide may be an effective intervention to prevent the development of asthma after bronchiolitis.

The study of subjcts with T2DM (n=120) and NGT (n=106) in using the screening of PGC-1? gene for SNPs by PCR-SSCP and DNA sequencing showed that four SNPs(Thr394Thr、Gly482Ser、Thr528Thr、Thr612Met) in the PGC-1? gene were found in 50 Han Chinese type 2 diabetic patients.A Gly482Ser polymorphism of PGC-1? gene was associated with type 2 diabetes.[

Objective To investigate the coordinate repression of angiostatin(AS)and Fas gene on human colon carcinoma LOVO.Methods Plasmid pcDNA3-AS and pcDNA3-Fas were constructed,and AS,Fas,AS and Fas gene were transfected to human colon carcinoma LOVO cells by liposome method.The expressions of target protein were detected by Western blot.The effects of transfection of AS and Fas gene on the growth of human colon carcinoma cells were detected by MTr methods.AS,Fas,AS and Fas gene were transfected to the human colon carcinoma subcutaneously implanted in nude mice by direct injection into the tumor.The tumor sizes were detected after 14 days of the first gene transfection.Results The effect of gene transfeetion in LOVO cell after twelve hours,24 h,48 h and 72 h were observed and compared with control group,co-transfection of Fas and AS gene group and Fas group significantly inhibited the growth of human colon carcinoma LOVO line cells(P＜0.01).Fourteen days after plasmid transfection,the tumor volume in group Fas and group co-transfection were signifieandy smaller than that of control,AS and Fas group(P＜0.05).The tumor volume in AS group and Fas group were significantly smaller than that of control(P＜0.05).Conclusion Angiostatin and Fas gene have coordinate repression effect on human colon carcinoma in vivo.

Objective To investigate ultrasound guidended nerve block of femoral nerve in emergency operation.Methods 40 patients who planned to accept surgery of feet,lower limb under knee.They were randomly devided into 2 groups:ultrasound guidended group and the control group.Femoral nerve and Sciatic nerve were blocked by ultrasound guidended technique or classic landmark technique.1.5% lidocaine was administered for nerve block.Sensory block was observed every 5 minutes in 30 minutes.Onset time,effect of anesthesia,algesia time and complications were recorded.T-test and varience difference were applied.Results The onset time of local anesthetics was faster in the ultrasound guided group than that of the control group.Effect of analgesia was better in in the ultrasound guided group than that of the control group. Conclusion Nerve block of femoral nerve and the sciatic nerve guided by ultrasound was better than the classic technique.

AIM: To study the change of intercellular adhesion molecule-1(ICAM-1) expression in intestine tissues of mice induced by LPS and regulatory effect of p38 mitogen-activated protein kinase (p38 MAPK) on ICAM-1 expression. METHODS: Protein and mRNA of ICAM-1 were measured using Western blotting and RT-PCR respectively in intestine tissue of BALB/c mice treated by lipopolysaccharide(LPS) or LPS plus SB203580, a specific inhibitor of p38 MAPK. RESULTS: Compared with control group, the expression of ICAM-1 protein and mRNA was increased significantly by LPS stimulation in dose- and time-dependent manner. ICAM-1 expression reached peak value at 12-36 h after LPS stimulation. 20.0 mg/kg of LPS could induce the maximum of ICAM-1 expression. Pretreatment of mice with SB203580 for 30 min could inhibit significantly LPS-induced expression of ICAM-1 protein and mRNA expression in mouse intestine tissues. CONCLUSIONS: These data highlight that LPS could up-regulate ICAM-1 protein and mRNA expression in intestine tissue of mice in dose- and time-dependent manner, and p38 MAPK signal pathway plays an important role in ICAM-1 expression induced by LPS. It suggests that inhibition of p38 MAPK might be a useful principle for the prevention and treatment of intestine damage of endotoxic shock.

AIM: To understand the effect of osmotic agents on hyaluronan synthesis in human peritoneal mesothelial cells(HPMCs). METHODS: Cultured HPMCs were stimulated with 90 mmol/L glucose(HG), 30 mmol/L glucose(LG), 5% polyglucose(PG) and 90 mmol/L mannitol. Extracellular cell coats were examined using particle exclusion assay, the expressions of hyaluronan synthase 2 and 3(HAS-2 and HAS-3) mRNA in HPMCs were measured by reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR). The concentration of hyaluronan in cultured medium was measured by hyaluronan radio-immunoassay kits. RESULTS: HAS-2 mRNA expressions in the four experimental experimental groups were significantly higher than that of the control group. However, only HG enhanced HAS-3 mRNA expression. The sizes of the extracelluar coat in the four experimental groups were not significantly different from that of the control. In addition, hyaluronan concentrations were significantly higher in the four experimental groups as compared with the control group. The hyaluronan concentration in HG group was much higher than that of the LG, PG and mannitol groups. CONCLUSIONS: Although polyglucose increased HAS-2 mRNA expression, it tended to have no effect on HAS-3 mRNA in HPMCs. This result implies that polyglucose might be more biocompatible to peritoneum in peritoneal dialysis as compared with hypertonic glucose.
