Chinese Journal of Ultrasonography 2003;0(05):-
Objective To explore the effect of ultrasound to gene transfer in skeletal muscle cells in mice. Methods All comparisons were performed between two intensities of ultrasound((0.5) W/cm~2, (1 W/cm~2)) with pulse wave (1 MHz, 20% duty cycle) using plasmid green fluorescent protein(GFP) on H2K myoblast cells. Exposure duration was 10 s, 20 s, 30 s, 40 s, 50 s, and 60 s. The trend of transfection efficiency by flow cytometer and cell viability by Trypan blue assays under different conditions was measured. Results GFP transfection rate in H2K cell treated by (0.5) W/cm~2 was significantly lower than that by 1 W/cm~2 as a whole. The optimum condition of GFP transfection for H2K cell was 1 W/cm~2 and (40-)50 s. Ultrasound did not increase the rate of cell-killing. Conclusions Ultrasound holds promise in gene delivery in skeletal muscle cells.

The microbial counts, type, as well as relationship between microbial counts and the temperature of water in reticulating water system of heating pipeline in Taiyuan were studied, which the main biofouling harmful microbes included slimeforming heterotrophic bacteria, sulfate reducing bacteria, iron bacteria and fungi, respectively. The results showed that the harmful microbes in water system were lower than that of control guideline during heating period, whereas the microbes were higher than that of control guideline, which would result in biofouling of water tube during non-heating period.
6.A study on the association between the inflammatory factors and hallucination in patients with Parkinson disease
Chinese Journal of Nervous and Mental Diseases 2015;(1):1-4
Objective To investigate the incidence and risk factors of hallucination in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) by using a questionnaire. Methods Ninety-one patients with PD from outpatient and inpatient departments of Neurology and 38 healthy subjects were recruited. Mini-mental state examination (MMSE), unified Parkinson's disease rating scale-Ⅲ(UPDRS-Ⅲ), Hoehn-Yahr, interleukin 6 (IL-6) and C-reactive protein (CRP) were examined in all PD. According to the PPQ-B scores, the PD patients were divided into two groups:the hallucination group (PPQ-B≥1) and non-hallucination group (PPQ-B=0). Logistic regression model was used to explore the risk factors. Results Twen?ty-nine of 91 patients had hallucination and the incidence was 32%. Age and the levels of IL-6 and CRP were signifi?cantly higher in hallucination group than in non-hallucination group. Meanwhile, the duration of illness and MMSE were significantly higher in hallucination group than in non-hallucination group. Logistic regression revealed that the age and duration of illness were independent risk factors of hallucination and the Odds Ratios (OR) were 1.09 (95% CI:1.04~1.32, P<0.05) and 1.43 (95%CI:1.21~1.87, P<0.05), respectively. The risk of hallucination increased by 51%and 59%for each doubling of IL-6 and CRP levels in PD patients and the ORs were 1.51 (95%CI:1.13~2.11, P<0.05) and 1.59 (95%CI:1.07~2.66, P<0.05), respectively. Conclusions Controlling the levels of serum IL-6 and CRP plays an impor?tant role in delay or prevention of the hallucination of PD patients.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristics and prevalent features of an influenza erupting prevalence.Methods All of 653 patients with an erupting influenza were enrolled in the study from May 29,2003 to July 3,2003. The data included clinic manifestations and etiology. The retrospective study was used to evaluate the clinical and prevalent features. Results All patients consisted of 392 boys and 261 girls aged 5~17 years(mean 11.5 years),who were all students in middle school or primary school. Most of the patients had no typical symptoms including chill(2.45%),headache(30.00%),tiredness(10.87%)and the aching in whole body(4.44%),whereas fever,faucial inflammation and lymphatic follicular hyperplasia of the faucial posterior wall were the most common among these patients,accounting for 100%,60.03%,64.78% respectively. There were 98 patients whose peripheral leukocyte amounts were increased,most happening on the 6 ~7 th day from the onset(75.51%)following the fever on the 5~6 th day(80.6%). Detection of serum double virus-antigen indicated that influenza virus antibody increased more than 4-fold,as well as parainfluenza virus and adenovirus. Even in minority patients,there were several kinds of virus antibody raised 4-fold at the same time. We applied antivirus allopathy associated with the Chinese traditional medicine such as injection of shuanghuanglian or yuxingcao,plus the effectual antibiotics when necessary . All of the patients were cured and no sequelae. Conclusion Sometimes the influenza is prevalent only in some special crowds and has no typical symptoms such as chill,headache,tiredness and the aching in whole body.The antibiotics should be used in time after the synthetic treatment has no effect,when the patient has the onset for more than 5 days and has the fever for more than 4 days.
