Objective To understand the rpoB gene mutation in M.tuberculosis isolates,and to evaluate their clinical value.Method 335 clinical isolates of mycobacterium tuberculosis(109 isolates drug susceptible,246 isolates rifampin-resistance or multidrug resistance including rifampin) were detected using polymerase chain reaction-single strand conformation polymorphism(PCR-SSCP).Results SSCP pattern of reference mycobacterium tuberculosis H37Rv as control,no mutation was found in rifampin-suscepitible 109 strains.SSCP patterns of 225/246 rifampin resistant clinical isolates were different from the normal control.The sensitivity was 91 5%.31 resistant isolates,included 25 abnormal isolates and 6 normal isolates of SCCP were identified.Sequencing showed 29 isolates had rpoB gene mutations and 3 isolates were not found rpoB gene mutations.The 3 most frequent rpoB gene mutation situs were Leu-531(19 isolates.TCGTTG) and His-526(7 isolates,CACTAC) and Asp-516(3 isolates,GACGTC).Conclusions The results confirm that rpoB gene mutation is the most important mechanism in rifampin resistant tuberculosis mutation situs are 531 tryptophan and 526 histidine;respectively.It is feasible that using PCR-SSCP to detect drug resistance in mycobacterium tuberculosis.

Objective　To investigate the abnormal distribution of lymphocytes in eutopic and ectopic endometrium of patients with endometriosis and its significance. Methods　In 43 cases, biopsies of ectopic tissues were taken by laparoscopy and laparotomy from patients with endometriosis and eutopic endometrium by curettage at the same time. In 19 cases, eutopic endometrium was taken from hysterectomy for myomatous uterus. Immunohistochemical techniques were employed to demonstrate the difference in the number and ratio of the lymphocyte subsets between the patients with endometriosis and the controls. Results　In the patients with endometriosis, in the proliferative phase, ectopic endometrium contained respectively CD+3、CD+8T cells and CD+68 macrophages (67.2±13.5)/5HP, (45.0±14.0)/5 HP and (37.2±10.6)/5 HP, significanly higher then that in the eutopic endometriun (52.4±11.3)/5HP (P<0.01), (32.5±10.0)/5HP (P<0.05)， and (30.7±10.3)/5HP， and also higher as compared with the control group (52.1±14.9)/5HP (P<0.05)， (28.9±12.7)/5HP (P<0.01), (26.3±9.3)/5HP (P<0.05); in the secretory phade, CD+8/CD+4, and CD+68 content was respectively 3.5±1.2，(40.3±12.2)/5HP, higher than that in the control group, 3.2±0.8 (P<0.05), (28.6±10.6)/5HP (P<0.01). The number of macrophages was also significantly increased. No cyclic changes in the number of lymphocytes in each subpopulation in ectopic endometrium were found. Conclusions　In the patients with endometriosis, the changes in T lymphocytes and macrophages are mainly on the endometriotic sites. The infiltration of many lymphocytes and macrophages into the ectopic endometrium formed a chronic inflammatory process. The lymphocytes are not able to clear the ectopic endometrium in the late stages of endometrium，on the contrary, they stimulate the further growth of the endometrium.

Objective An investigation was conducted to assess the effects and mechanism of celecoxib [a selective cyclooxygenase(COX) 2 inhibitor] on a rat colitis model induced by trinitrobenzene sulfonic acid (TNBS). Methods The rats were divided into four groups. Group 1 and group 2 were experimental groups. Group 3 and group 4 were control groups. Colitis was induced by intracolonic administration of TNBS (25 mg/ml) in a vehicle of 50% ethanol (0.25 ml) in rats of experiment groups. Three hours before induction of colitis ,the rats were beginning and continuing to treat orally with celecoxib (1.25 mg/kg, group 1) and distilled water (1 ml/0.3 kg, group 2) twice per day for 7 days , respectively. The rats in group 4 were treated orally with celecoxib (1.25 mg/kg) twice per day for 7 days. Group 3 served as healthy control. All rats that survived until the end of the experiment (7 d) were killed and the severity of damage were assessed. The prostaglandin E2 (PGE2) concentrations of colonic mucosa were tested by radioimmunoassay. Results The colonic damage scores were 11.15?3.3 in group 1 and 8.50?2.82 in group 2. Both were significantly higher than that of group 3 (0.62?0.09)( P
