Endocrine-paracrine (EP) cells, also known as APUD or neuroendocrine cells, have been known to exist in the mammalian genito-urinary system. A fairly common localization is in the prostate and urethra. In this study we demonstrated for the first time the presence of small number of EP cells in the dissociated epithelial cells of the seminal vesicles of the guinea pig. The EP cells exhibited yellow FIF, while a few green or yellow-green FIF cells can be observed after L-dopa treatment. They were stained positive by the Masson-Fontana's method but consistently negative with the Grimelius silver methods indicating that they were of argentaffin nature or other paracrine cells.

Objective To study the serum gastrin levels of mothers and neonates via vaginal delivery and cesarean section. Methods The serum gastrin concentrations of 60 women underwent vaginal delivery and elective cesarean section, and the umbilical serum gastrin concentrations of neonates delivered via vagina (20 cases) and cesarean section (22 cases) were measured by radioimmuno assay. Results The serum gastrin concentrations of women in labor(108.23?24.39) ng/L were significantly higher than that of women during cesarean section( P

Objective To investigate the immune changes of interleukin-6(IL-6) of placentae and amnion in severe pregnancy-induced hypertension(PIH) and fetal growth retardation(FGR). Methods Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) was used to detect IL-6 mRNA levls of placentae and amnion. Results The level of IL-6 mRNA in placentae and amnion in severe PIH group (0.71?0.07,0.81?0.02) are significantly lower than those in normal group(P0.05). Conclusions IL-6 is involved in the immune injury in severe PIH. The decreased levels of IL-6 in placentae and amnion may be the cause of fetal growth retardation

Objective To explore the curative effect of prealbumin (PA) in the hand-foot-and-mouth dis-ease and analysis its value in monitoring and prognosing this disease. Method Detect levels of serum PA of 390 ca-ses of children before, after and during the treatment and compare the changes during the treatment. Then observe the prognosis. Results There are significant difference of PV levels between cases of different prognosis (P < 0.05). Conclusion The PV levels of children of hand-foot-and-mouth disease will change significantly after effective treat- ment. There are clinical significance in observing and prognosing the hand-foot-and-mouth disease by detecting the se-rum PV levels.

After the problems in military postgraduate information literacy education were analyzed, the construction of a systematic and coherent information literacy education course system for military postgraduates in close combination with their subjects was proposed by setting up multidimensional education target, designing three-stage foundation-subject-innovation course, combining traditional literature retrieval course and embedded professional course, combining case teaching, heuristic discussion and innovative talent information literacy training approach, by infiltrating the physical and virtual space both in and outside university, and by participating in the study and research activities of postgraduates.

After discussing the reason for insufficiency of committee member in current ethical review , and considering the requirement for improving the function of Ethics Review Committee , this paper proposes that Ethics Review Committee should appoint more non -affiliated scientific members to ensure the independence of ethical re-view , thus protecting the rights and beneficence of subjects , and to secure the justice in ethical review of protocols , the paper also discussed the resolutions to address the challenge brought by appointing non -affiliated members .

Object A novel microwave-heated extraction (MHE) method was studied for the extraction of glycyrrhizic acid from Glycyrrhiza uralensis Fisch. Methods Several factors, such as temperature, time and microwave power were investigated and the appropriate MHE conditions were obtained from the orthogonal test. Under the optimum conditions, the optimal solvent was selected and the MHE was compared with ultrasonic extraction, leaching at room temperature and Soxhlet extraction,. Results The optimum conditions of MHE is extracting for another 40 min in 0.5% ammonia water after heated to 60 ℃ by microwave of 2 000 W. Yield of glycyrrhizic acid was about equal to that of Soxhlet extraction for 4 h, and that of leaching at room temperature for 44.3 h. Conclusion The MHE method is fast, efficient, energy-saving and high-selective, which is recommendable to the application to active compounds extraction from Chinese herbal medicines.

Arsenic and its species in dry seafood products(DSPs) Kelp, Sargassum fusiform, Laver, Enteromorpha prolifera, were systematically determined by high performance liquid chromatography-inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry(HPLC-ICP-MS). It was found that the of arsenic species in botanic DSPs are three unknown arsenicals(U_2, U_3 and U_4), which are speculated as arsenosugars and take approximate 63.5% 92.7% of all arsenic species detected. These arsenosugars were indentified as dimethylarsinic(DMA)-glycerol ribose, DMA-phosphate ribose and DMA-sulfate ribose by their accuracy molecular weight 329.0599, 483.0738 and 409.0162, using direct confirmatory of HPLC-TOF-MS. The quantitative analysis of these arsenic species shows that although the total arsenic exceeds the National Standard value, most of the marine plants DSPs are safe to eat. The main component in most marine plants is DMA-sulfate ribose(51.1%-80.3%), while the main component of Kelp is DMA-phosphate ribose(48.9%). The sum of those three arsenosugars was 63.5%-92.7% of peak areas in all arsenic species detected.

Objective To explore denture re-repair method, the key steps and the results. Method The clinical data of the 72 cases with complete denture re-repair were retrospectively malyzed. Results The results of repair of 48 cases were effective( 15 cases with one of titanium palatal care), accounting for 67 percent, repair,23 cases were effective, accounting for 32%, Repair ineffective in 1 case, accounting for 1%. Repair effect of satisfaction with the extent of alveolar bone absorption was no significant relationship between the 72 cases in the mandibular alveolar ridge had the 58 cases of Lowland Technology, accounting for 80%. Conclusions In the process of making dentures,it is necessary to carefully deal with every step to obtain good denture retention. Improve denture retention for denture repair is essential. Repair material selection and a good physician-patient relationship is also a help to enhance effect.

An online enrichment-separation system of C18 and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry (ICP/MS) with flow injection （C18-FI-ICP/MS） was established for the determination of trace heavy metals in seawater. The optimized experimental parameters including pH，C18 column，concentration of methol in elute and the velocity of elute were investigated. This system was applied to the online preconcentration , separation and determination of trace heave metals in seawater samples successfully. The detection limit　(3σ) for Cd, Pb, Co, Ni and Zn was 0.03, 0.09, 0.1, 0.1, 0.3 μg/L respectively. The RSD of Cd, Pb, Co, Ni, and Zn for six measurements of seawater was 6.8%，3.4%，1.3%，2.6%，0.5%，respectively. The accuracy was verified with spiked recovery test. The recovery for five elements was 91.3%，95.1%，100.4%，100.3%，95.2%, respectively.
