Journal of Environment and Health 1992;0(04):-
Objective To study the effects of monosodium glutamate on viability and fertility of filial generation Drosophila.Methods Different concentrations(15,30,45 g/L)of L,H,T monosodium glutamate(MSG)were added in the medium for wildtype Drosophila melanogaster,and the non-MSG medium was taken as the control group,3 pairs of Drosophilas in each bottle and 3 repeats in each group,the first and second filial generation adult Drosophila's eclosion time(growth period) and the number of offspring within 7 days(reproduction quantity),and the death count in 30 days of 20 Drosophilas were observed and recorded.Results Compared with the control group,the reproduction quantity of Drosophila significantly increased,the growth period shortened in the first filial generation in 15 g/L of T MSG group.As the MSG concentrations increased,the reproduction quantity reduced significantly,the survival rate of Drosophila in 30 days declined significantly.The reproduction quantity in second filial generation increased at the initial stage of exposure and then decreased as the MSG concentrations increased.Conclusion The results of the present paper indicates that low-dose of MSG may be the advantage for survival and reproduction of Drosophila,but high doses will produce adverse effects.

Objective: To evaluate the effects of lotensin on sympathetic responses following cervical plexus block and to explore the mechanism of cardiovascular responses and sympathetic nervous system activity according to plasma catecholamine concentration. Method: Sixty adult patients were randomly divided into two groups (n = 30):Group A and group B. In group B lotensin 0.15mg/kg was taken orally at night before surgery and 2h before anesthesia separately. Hemodynamics was determined before anesthesia(T_1), 5min(T_2), 10min(T_3), 15-20min(T_4)and 30min (T_5) after cervical plexus block. For measurement of plasma catecholamine concentration, blood was collected at T_1,T_3,T_4 and T_5. The study was finished before beginning of surgery and infusion. Result: In group A after anesthesia SP,DP, MAP,HR,RPP and plasma noradrenalinc level rose markedly(P0.05). All parameters were lower in group B compared with group A(P

Objective To analyze the changes of electroencephalographic activities during fully automated simultaneous peripheral arteriovenous exchange transfusion(ET) in neonates with hyperbilirubinemia.Methods A total of 45 neonates who suffered from severe hyperbilirubinemia and underwent fully automated simultaneous peripheral arteriovenous exchange transfusion were studied from March 2009 to March 2016 in Neonatal Intensive Care Unit of Guangzhou Women and Children's Medical Center,and 46 ETs were performed in 45 babies who were divided into 2 groups according to the severity of hyperbilirubinemia:the encephalopathy group and the none-encephalopathy group.Nineteen patients were in the encephalopathy group,in which 11 were male and 8 were female.The other 26 patients were in the none-encephalopathy group,in which 15 were male and 11 were female.Changes in amplitude integrated electroencephalogram(aEEG) during ETs were analyzed,including background activities,sleep-wake cycle (SWC)and seizures.Results Forty-five patients with hyperbilirubinemia underwent 46 fully automated simultaneous peripheral arteriovenous ETs.As a result,total bilirubin dropped from (524.90 ± 110.96)μmol/L before ETs to (245.62 ±78.97) μmol/L after ETs,with clearance rate of 53.2%.And indirect bilirubin dropped from(486.16 ±90.39) μmol/L before ETs to(222.19 ± 79.49) μmoL/L after ETs,with clearance rate of 54.3%.On the other hand,there was no significant difference in the changes of electroencephalographic activities during ETs,including background activities (x2 =0.16,P > 0.05),SWC (x2 =0.71,P > 0.05) and seizures (x2 =0.30,P > 0.05).However,there were significant difference in suppressions on background activities between the encephalopathy group and the none-encephalopathy group(Fisher's exact test P =0.042),though there were no significant statistical differences in SWC or seizures between the 2 groups (x2 =0.65,P > 0.05;x2 =2.07,P > 0.05,respectively).Conclusions In neonatal hyperbilirubinemia,fully automated simultaneous peripheral arteriovenous ET is safe and efficient without significant influence on electroencephalographic activities as a whole.However,background activities are more significantly depressed in infants of bilirubin encephalopathy than that of non-encephalopathy during ET.

Objective To investigate the inhibitory effect of silencing survivin gene with siRNA on the growth of gastric cancer cells and its mechanism,and provide evidence in treatment for gastric cancer.Methods DNA template coding survivinspecific siRNA was designed and synthesized.Two recombinant plasmids (pGCsilencerU6/GFP/survivin-siRNA-1 and-2) were constructed.The gastric carcinoma cel1 line SGC-7901 were divided into three groups: liposome-treated control group,empty plasmid-transfected control group and survivin-siRNA-1 transfected group.In order to observe the effect of survivin-siRNA,the expressions of survivin mRNA and protein were detected by RT-PCR and Western blotting,respectively.Methyl thiazolyl tetrazolium(MTT) assay was applied to determine the cell growth status.Apoptotic rates were evaluated by flow cytometry(FCM).Results The results of Western blotting and RT-PCR indicated that the inhibitory rates of protein and mRNA in pGCsilenerU6/GFP/survivin-siRNA-1 transfected group(78.25% and 88.75%) were higher than those in liposome-treated control group(5% and 2%) and empty plasmid-transfected control group(1% and 6%)(P

OBJECTIVE To clarify the features of nosocomial infections for patients with multiple myeloma(MM).METHODS One hundred and seventy eight cases of MM treated in our hospital from Oct 1982 to Dec 2006 were analyzed retrospectively.RESULTS Eighty five patients(47.8%) suffered from nosocomial infections.The nosocomial infection took place more frequently on respiratory tract.Elder,granulocytopenia,hypoproteinemia,severe anemia,and diabetes were the risk factors.Totally 91 pathogens were isolated.Gram-negative bacilli accounted for 45.1%,and were the major pathogens.Fungi accounted for 37.4% and Gram-positives accounted for 17.6%.The ESBLs producing strains accounted for 31.6% in Klebsiella pneumoniae and Escherichia coli.Vancomycin resistant strains were found.The top one of fungi presented organism was the Candida albicans.CONCLUSIONS Nosocomial infections for patients with multiple myeloma has a high incidence.There are many risk factors.The resistance of commonly encountered bacteria to antimicrobial agents is a serious problem.Immunity protection and the rational use of antimicrobial agents should be emphasized.

OBJECTIVE To study the interaction of anthracene quinone type anti-tumor antibiotics and DNA as well as the experiment method.METHODS Spectrophotometry was developed including absorption spectrum,fluorescence spectrum,electrochemical method and so on.RESULTS The union of inlay and insertion observed in ultraviolet and visible spectrophotometry usually caused hypochromic effect and red shift.Under the certain concentrations of bovin serum albumin(BSA),the endogene fluorescence intensity of BSA orderly reduced with the increase in concentration of doxorubicin(adriamycin) hydrochloride(?em 344 and the peak shape were invariable);?ex and ?em at the biggest wave length of doxorubicin were 478 and 596 nm.The fluorescence intensity was maximal of the excitation and emission spectrum when pH was 3.0.CONCLUSIONS The interaction of doxorubicin and DNA is the strongest according to the experiment and is the most widely used at present in clinics.
