AIM: To study the effects of spirulina (Spirin) in the prevention of liver fibrosis in rats.　METHODS: Wistar rats were divided into three groups: control group(n=8); CCl4 group(n=8), spirulina group(n=8). CCl4 group and spirulina group rats were induced by 40% CCl4 olive oil solution into models of liver fibrosis, meanwhile spirulina group was given the feed with spirulina powder for 12 wk. Liver histological changes, hydroxyproline(HYP) content in liver tissues, serum procollagen type Ⅲ(PC-Ⅲ) and hyaluronic acid(HA) levels were observed. 　RESULTS: The pathological studies showed that the liver fibrosis degree of spirulina group was obviously lighter than that of CCl4 group. Spirulina group had significantly lower levels of HYP(174 μg*g-1±37 μg*g-1), PC-Ⅲ(140 μg*L-1±37 μg*L-1) and HA(262 μg*L-1±92 μg*L-1) than those of CCl4 group (243 μg*g-1±49 μg*g-1, 274 μg*L-1±69 μg*L-1 and 484 μg*L-1±114 μg*L-1, respectively).　CONCLUSION: The experimental evidence suggests that spirulina can prevent the formation of liver fibrosis.

Objective To determine the correlations between breast ultrasonic and mammographic features and molecular classification of breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma in young women.Methods A retrospective review of radiological,clinic-pathology features of breast cancers for women under 40 years at our hospital between January 2011 and May 2016 covering 94 patients.Mammography and ultrasound were available for all 94 patients.Results On sonography,basal like type tumours more often appeared as oval or round masses and microlobulated or indistinct margins luminal type irregular mass and angular or spiculated margins(P =0.000,P =0.000).Basal like type masses were often with abrupt interface,luminal A type with echogenic halo (P =0.000).On mamography,HER-2 enriched type cancers more presented as microcal cification only,basal likc type more masses(P =0.002).Luminal typc masses were more often with spiculated or obscured margins,basal like with indistinct margins(P =0.000).Conclusion The imaging charasteristics of breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma in patients under 40 years appear correlated to breast infiltrating ductal carcinoma.

Using RT-PCR, we can detect measles virus hemagglutinin gene (H gene) of 635bp length directly from measles vaccine strain Shanghai-191, Edmonston strain, nasopharyngeal aspirates and throat swabs of the measles patients. The primers of RT-PCR based on H gene sequence of measles virus did not give the same products from rubella virus and influenza viruses (A1, A3, B). By second PCR amplification, the minimum quantity of measles virus required to give a positive signal was<0.01TCID50. Since the IgM antibody positive rate in early stage of measles patients is always low, the specificity and sensitivity of RT-PCR method may help diagnosing measles cases.

Objective To observe the changes of serum endotoxin and interleukin-6 level before and after treatment at intestine get rid of filth and adjustment intestine microenviroment in patients with advanced stage liver cirrhosis and to oberserve the incidence of spontaneous bacterial peritonitis(SBP) and to research a method that can more efficient reduce the incidence of SBP.Methods Group A was given conventional treatment such as protection liver,supplement human albumin and uragogue;goup B was given FPA 0 2g tid po,continuous three days on the basis of two weeks conventional treatment,group C was given Tab comfort get 0 5g tid po,Changtai orally taken liquid,10ml tid po,lactulose 10ml tid po, for all 8 weeks,on the basis of group B treatment after pausing use FPA.Results Serum endotoxin and interleukin-6 levels in group A was not significantly changes after treatment,,SBP incidence was higher than both group B and group C;at group B,serum endotoxin and interleukin-6 levels decline,SBP incidence significantly drop afer treatment,at group C,serum endotoxin,interleukin-6 level and SBP incidence significantly drop,the difference was significant at statistics as compared with group A and B.Conclusions The treatment at intestine get rid of filth and adjustment intestine microenviroment can effectively reduce serum endotoxin and interleukin-6 levels and can significantly reduce the incidence of SBP.

Objective To establish a simple and quick method to determine methamidophos in human serum samples. Methods The samples were extracted by acetone and were separated with centrifuge then were determined by gas chromatography (GC-FPD). Results The determine limit for methamidophos in human serum was 0.05 ng. The minimum determine concentration was 0.40 ?g/ml. Rate of recovery of methamidophos added in human serum were 90.5%-105.6%. The relative standard deviations (RSD) were 4.52%-6.63%. Conclusion This method is sensitive, accurate and reliable for the determination of methamidophos in human serum samples.

Objective To investigate the relationship between the serum c oncentration of TGF-? 1 and invasion and metastasis of gastric cancer,and the effect of surgical treatment on the serum concentration of TGF-? 1.M ethods The serum concentration of TGF-? 1 of 48 cases of gastric can cer was detected by ELISA 3 days before and 7-10 days after surgical treatment. Results The serum concentration of TGF-? 1 of gastric cancer before surgical treatment (404.6? 12.0) mg/L was higher than that after surg ical treatment (294.3?33.9) mg/L (P

Objective:To investigate the effect of IL-6?TNF-? and TGF-? 1 on the occurrence and development of DM and DN.Methods:To observe the changes of IL-6?TNF-? and TGF-? 1 amount in normal group ?DM group and DN respectively .Results:The amount of IL-6?TNF-? and TGF-? 1 in DM group and DN group are markedly higher that in normal group.The amount of IL-6?TNF-??TGF-? 1 in DN is markedly higher than that in DM group.Conclusion:IL-6?TNF-? and TGF-? 1 play an very important role in the occurrence and development in DM and DN.

Objective To investigate the degradation rate of profenofos in soil. Methods The residues of profenofos at different times after spraying on soil were determined by GC-FPD method. Results Detection limit of profenofos in soil was 0.04 mg/kg. The recovery rates and relative standard deviation obtained by adding standard assay were 95.2%～98.7% and 3.4%～4.5% respectively. According to the dose recommended, degradation of profenofos sprayed on soil was consistent with one range dynamics. The half-life of profenofos in soil was 1.09 days. At the 13th day after spraying on soil, 98.3% of profenofos had degraded. Conclusion This method was simple, rapid, accurate and precise. The degradation of profenofos was more rapid and profenofos contamination in soil was not a serious problem.

Objective: To study the effects of light intensity on the compressive strength and tensile strength of light -curing composite resin. Methods: 25 samples of Shade A (Dentsply,USA) light-curing composite resion in the size of 10?5?1(mm) and equally divided into 5 groups.The light intensities (mW/cm 2?40 s) of 300,500,800,300 mW/cm 2?10 s+500 mW/cm 2?30 s,300 mW/cm 2?10 s+800 mW/cm?30 s were applied during the light-curing in group 1,2,3,4 and 5 respectively.The compressive strength and tensile strength of of the samples were measured by computer-controlled electronic testing machine (type WDW-100). Results:The compressive strengths (MPa) of group 1,2,3,4 and 5 were 228.68?20.25,274.67?6.99,380.53?9.81,345.47?10.71 and 414.06?29.34 respectively (P

The value of dobutamine 99m橳c-MIBI SPECT (DBA-SPECT) for detecting coronary artery disease was assessed in 56 patients with chest pain. Exercise ECG, DBA-ECG and DBA-SPECT were obtained. The hemodynamic changes in DBA infusion are similar to that in exercise test. In 21 patients who had coronary angiogram,the sensitivity,specificity and accuracy were 87. 5% ,76. 9% ,81. 7% ,respectively in DBA-SPECT;75. 0%, 92. 3%, 85. 0%, respectively in DBA-ECG,and 87. 5%,46. 2% ,61.9% ,respectively in exercise ECG test. The results showed that DBA-SPECT is a feasible safe and non-invasive method for detecting coronary artery disease.
