Journal of Zhejiang Chinese Medical University 2015;(7):517-519
[Objective] To explore the relationship between Chinese traditional medicated food science and modern nutriology, identify the developmental direction of modern medicated food culture, and propose suggestions for the scientific development of medicated food culture. [Method] Based on the previous studies, the comparative research was conducted to analyze the difference between and similarity of medicated food science and modern nutriology in terms of the theory system and research expertise. [Result] The scientific and objective recognition of the effects of medicated food could promote the development of medicated food culture. For the academic research, the advantages of traditional medicated food culture and weakness of modern nutriology need to be understood. For the practice, the experience of modern nutriology can be learned to help the innovation of medicated food science's research methods and regulation of usage. [Conclusion] The development of medicated food culture not only needs to inherit the tradition, but also needs to learn from the modern nutriology and pharmacology, and assimilates the achievements from modern western science civilization.

China Biotechnology 2006;0(12):-
Gentamicin production at home and abroad was fermentation cycle long,production rate low,production costs high and short of competitiveness.Added a little quantity of lysine,glycine,tyrosine,methionine into the medium of gentamicin producing Micromonospora purpurea during inoculation could improve the metabolic capability of microbe,shorten fermentation cycle and increase production rate of gentamicin.The new method was successfully developed in shaking flask test and applied to 5L glass fermentor for one month.Average data of one month showed that the fermentation time per cycle was shortened about 40% and the yield of gentamicin per fermentor increased about 14% in comparison with the conventional technique.The production rate of gentamicin was increased 30% ~95%(according to the capability of strain).The quality of the end product gentamicin conformed to CP2000,BP2000 and USP26 pharmacopoeia.Therefore,the new method may reduce production costs of gentamicin remarkably,it shows strong competitiveness in the marketplace.

Objective To study the characteristics and differences of phonetic pronunciation between hearing-impaired and normal children in 4.5~5.5 years old groups. Methods Phonetic articulation of consonants and vowels were tested by three-grade assessors for 20 hearing- impaired children and 20 normal children in 4.5~5.5 years old group using Question Bank for Hearing-impaired Children's Rehabilitation Evaluation of Hearing and Speech. Results and Conclusion For hearing-impaired children, the consonants of /b. m. d. l. j/ were the most articulative, followed with /h. f. r. p. t. n. g. x/, and then /zh. z. k. c. sh. q. s. ch/; for normal children, the consonants of /b. p. f. g. m. d. h/ were the most articulative, followed with /k. j. x. t. r. l/, and then /q. zh. ch. sh. n. z. s. c/. For both groups, the single final was the most articulative, followed with the compound final, and then the nasal. The articulation of these 3 types of vowels were poorer in hearing-impaired children than in normal children (P<0.01)

Objective To explore the effect of acupuncture on trunk control ability and balance function in patients with spinal cord injury above lumbar. Methods 40 patients with spinal cord injury were randomly divided into observation group and control group with 20 cases in each group. The control group received limb joint training method, the observation group received acupuncture in addition. Fugl-Meyer Assessment and Flex Comp Infiniti EMG system were used to evaluate the balance function and trunk muscle strength before and 8 weeks after treatment. Results After treatment, the balance function and trunk control ability improved in both groups (P<0.01), and were better in the observation group than in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion Limb linkage combined with acupuncture can further improve the balance function and trunk control ability in patients with spinal cord injury above lumbar.

Objective To analyze the prognostic factors for patients with hepatic encephalopathy (HE) in acute-on-chronic liver failure(ACLF).Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 159 ACLF patients with HE.The hepatic encephalopathy was determined to baseline,the patients were divided into survivors(n =13) and nonsurvivors(n =146),The 32 factors affecting the prognosis were analyzed by Cox proportional hazard model with SPSS.Results One-month,three-month,and six-month survival rates were 20.13%,10.06% and 8.18%,respectively.Cox regression analysis of prognostic factors showed that it could the stage of hepatic encephalopathy and HRS significantly improve the survival rate of the patients with HE in acute-on-chronic liver failure.The stage of hepatic encephalopathy and HRS could significantly decrease the survival rate of the patients(x2 =18.344,11.368,all P < 0.05),elevated the levels of hepatic encephalopathy (relative risk (RR) =1.591) and HRS (RR =1.809) indicate worse prognosis with hepatic encephalopathy in acute-on-chronic failure.Conclusion The stage of hepatic encephalopathy and HRS were independent risk factor sof prognosis in acute-on-chronic liver failure.

Objective To investigate the short-term efficacy and safety of gefitinib combined with dendritic cells-cytokine induced killer (DC-CIK) cells in the treatment of advanced lung adenocarcinoma.Methods Fifty patients with lung adenocarcinoma who in previous had underwent radiotherapy and first-line chemotherapy failure received DC-CIK in combination with gefitinib treatment,blood count changes,imaging data,carcinoembryonic antigen and changes in the quality of life before and after treatment were compared and evaluated.Results DC-CIK could improve effectively and relieve bone marrow suppression response after chemotherapy and significantly increase the WBC content of blood (P < 0.01).After treatment,the tumor carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) was significantly lower in patients (P < 0.01).Fifty cases of patients in complete remission (CR) were 0 cases,partial remission (PR) were 24 cases,stable disease (SD) were 17 cases and progression (PD) were 9 cases,and the response rates (RR) were 48%;The quality of life of patients was significantly improved (P < 0.05).Common adverse reactions were rash,diarrhea,chill and fever,but mild symptoms could be relieved after symptomatic treatment.Conclusions Gefitinib with autologous DC-CIK cell infusion second-line treatment of advanced lung cancer have a certain short-term efficacy,without significant adverse reactions.Gefitinib with autologous DC-CIK cell therapy can mitigate the response of bone marrow suppression in patients with advanced lung cancer and improve the quality of life of patients.Long-term effect remains to be investigated.

Objective To analyze the effects of the mumps virus on testicular function and evaluate the value of blood testosterone in acute orchitis condition and prognosis by observing the testosterone levels of peripheral blood in the mumps orchitis patients.Methods Thirty patients with acute mumps orchitis (mumps orchitis group)and 28 patients with mumps only without any major complications (mumps group)were enrolled in the study.At the same time,we selected 20 healthy males in our hospital as healthy controls.All cases were treated by ribavirin (10mg/kg). The testosterone was tested by chemiluminescence method,in 0,7,14 days respectively.The variance analysis and LSD -t test were used to compare differences of blood testosterone in each group,and Pearson method was used to analyze the correlation of blood testosterone and testicular swelling day times,blood amylase,level of neutrophils,IL -6 and CRP.Results The testosterone of acute orchitis [(1.51 ±0.26)ng/mL]was lower than mumps group and healthy controls.The difference was significant(F =99.36,P <0.01).The level of blood testosterone was significantly increased in the treatment for 14 days (t =13.03,P <0.01),and there was no significant difference compared with healthy controls (t =1.23,P =1.23).Pearson correlation analysis found that blood testosterone levels were negatively correlated with the days of testicular swelling,the levels of IL -6 and CRP(r =0.678,P <0.01 and r =0.528,P =0.000;r =0.442,P =0.000).Conclusion This study showed that MuV infection inhibited testosterone synthesis in Leydig cells.In other words,the level of blood testosterone is related to the severity of the orchitis,which can be widely used in clinical.
