Objective To investigate the oxidative mechanism of homocysteine ( Hey) -induced apoptosis in endothelial progenitor cells( EPCs). Methods Total mononuclear cells were isolated from mouse bone marrow by Ficoll density gradient centrifugation and were cultured in vitro for 7 d. Adherent cells were harvested and identified by fluorescence microscopy. EPCs were cultured with Hey (0, 50, 100 and 500 μmol/L) for 12, 24 and 48 h, or pretreated with NAC (1 mmol/L), DPI( 10 μmol/L) or SB203580 (10 μmol/L) for 30 min, then cultured with 500 μmol/L Hey for 24 h. Apoptosis was detected by Annexin-V/PI flow cytometry, levels of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in cells were measured using H2DCF-DA as a fluorescence probe, NADPH oxidases were evaluated with lucigenin-enhanced chemilumine9cence, and NO in the supernatant was determined by nitrate reductase assay. Results Hey induced EPCs apoptosis, ROS accumulation, NADPH oxidase activation and decrease of NO in a time-dose dependent manner( P <0.05 or P < 0.01). Pretreatment with NAC, DPI and SB203580 could inhibit these effects (P < 0.05 or P < 0.01). Conclusion Hey could activate NADPH oxidase, induce ROS increase and NO decrease, and activate p38MAPK to enhance EPCs apoptosis.

In this paper, the history, problems being encountered in current situation and significance of carrying out standardization of TCM literature classification were discussed.

Clinic demonstration is the important part of medical education.There are more and more medical students with enlarged university enrolment in recently year.However,the patients for demonstration are relatively fewer.In this condition,we make the best of the available resources to demonstrate clinic pediatrics by teaching at bedside;displaying video products,using human analogue and case record and role playing,thus ensuring the effect of clinic pediatric teaching.

The author made a feasible study on the construction of public management system of traditional Chinese medical picture resources based on current existence of TCM pictures.Pictorial resources of original separation,multielement,isomerism,and scattered distribution,were united by physical and logical patterns for the purpose of enhancing their availability.Public management system plat Of TCM picture resources was set up,with the characteristics of practicability,novelty,originality,and suitability for scientific research,teaching and public propagate education.

OBJECTIVE:To make clear the antimicrobials used for inpatients in our hospital from September 1999 to March 2000 METHODS:We sampled the records of discharged patients at the ratio of 1/3 of sickbeds in our hospital,and filled in "the questionnaire of antimicrobials used in clinical department" item by item,finally,we carried out comprehensive analysis RESU_LTS:More than half was administration of single and basic antimicrobial Combined use of antimicrobials for severe and mixed infections was rational The rate of using antimicrobials was high(79 64%),especially in preventing perioperative infections,reached nearly 100% The starting-point was high in choice of drug and the newly-developed,special and expensive drugs occupied the front place in order of consumption Combined use of drugs was unduly prevalent Most of treatment depended on experience The rate of bacterial drug resistance test was only performed in 10% of patients CONCLUSION:Rational use of drugs is the main trend,however,the measure directed against existing problem should be worked out

Objective:To explore a rapid and cost-effective method for identification of Candida gla-brata through the comparison of two different methods , using molecular methods of sequencing as gold standard.Methods:From our clinic, 200 strains of suspected Candida glabrata were collected during the last 3 years and selected after incubation in CHROMagar Candida medium for 48 h.By comparing the results of the CHROMagar Candida medium, the identification of the rapid trehalose test for different kinds of strains were analyzed under incubation in the tubes for 3 h, 6 h, and 24 h at 37 ℃and 42 ℃, respectively .All the strains were identified to species level by methods of sequencing .The optimal time and temperature of the trehalose test for the identification of Candida glabrata were assessed .Two different methods, CHROMagar Candida medium and the rapid trehalose test , in identification of Candi-da glabrata were compared.Results:In all the 200 strains, Candida glabrata ferment trehalose with 3 h incubation under 42 ℃ were the optimal time and temperature for fermenting trehalose .The accuracy , sensitivity, and specificity of the rapid trehalose test were 99.00% (198/200), 98.66% (147/149) and 100.00%(51/51).The accuracy rate of CHROMagar Candida medium was 79.50%(159/200), the sensitivity and specificity were only 89.93%(134/149) and 49.02%(25/51), however, compared with the domestic current popular methods , the rapid trehalose test had better time efficiency ratio .Con-clusion:The evaluation results suggest that the rapid trehalose test has advantages in terms of operational convenience and low cost , and the results can be obtained in 3 h.Therefore, it has application value in clinical laboratory .

After the structural reform in the food and drug supervision system, the knowledge structure and the professional re-quirements of the supervisors is unmatched, which hinder the fulfillment of regulatory responsibilities and the performance of adminis-trative efficacy. Effective ways for team building are actively explored throughout the country. The paper introduced the adult corre-spondence education of the supervisors in Zhejiang Ningbo food and drug supervision system to provide a good example for training work throughout the country and some useful suggestions for the quality improvement of the supervision team.

Aim To investigate the effects of taxol on apoptosis in Hela cell and the mechanism of apoptosis. The apoptotic cells were detected by TUNEL, HE, eletronic micrpscopy and flow cytometry method. The expressions and activity of apoptosis associated proteins such as PCNA and caspase-3 were examined using S-P and enzyme histochemistric method.The results followed as: HeLa cells exposed to Taxol undergo cell death, presenting morphological and biochemical characteristics typical of apoptosis and the apoptotic cells increased with time and concentration. In contrast to untreated Hela cells, which express low PCNA, Ones treated with Taxol expressed high amounts of PCNA. Conclusion Taxol may induced apoptosis in Hela cell. The apoptosis induced by taxol is related to the increase of PCNA protein and activity of caspase-3.

Objective: To compare nephrotoxicity and ototoxicity of gentamycin administered in single dose or multiple dose daily in guinea pigs. Methods: Thirty two male guinea pigs were divided into physiological saline control, single dose group daily (gentamycin, 120 mg/kg, 1/d) and multiple dose group daily (gentamycin, 60 mg/kg, 2/d). The physiopathology of renal and cochlea in guinea pigs were examined using auditory brainstem response (ABR), SC sound irritation and electron microscope. The gentamycin concentrations in serum and in perilymph were monitored by fluorescene polarization immunoassay (FPIA). Results: (1) Compared with control group, both gentamycin single and mulitiple daily doses injuried kidney and cochlea to some extent.The injury of multiple dose groups were worse than that the single dose groups ( P

BACKGROUND:The interaction and mutual influence of intestinal flora in the host intestine with mucosal immune barrier play an important role in the homeostasis regulation within the intestine. OBJECTIVE:To explore the role of intestinal flora in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome and the mechanism of moxibustion in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome from the aspects of intestinal flora imbalance and mucosal immune activation. METHODS:With the key words of “irritable bowel syndrome, intestinal flora, intestinal immune, moxibustion” in Chinese and in English, respectively, a computer-based search was performed for articles published in CNKI, VIP and PubMed databases from October 2001 to October 2014. After the initial screening, the reserved articles were further detailed, summarized and concluded. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Totaly 37 articles were colected, including 15 in Chinese and 22 in English. The analysis results showed that, the imbalance of intestinal flora and mucosal immune can play an important role in the pathogenesis of irritable bowel syndrome, and the former one can affect the body’s feeling of rectal distension threshold and visceral sensitivity. Moxibustion excels at improvement of the symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome, particularly abdominal pain with high visceral sensitivity, by regulating the body’s physiological balance from multi-link and multi-target aspects.
