One of the human GM-CSF cDNA was successfully isolated with a new screening method. Up 1/170 of positive rate was reached. The COS-7 cells were transfected with the cDNA clone and the resulting supernants contained colony-stimulatory activities. Human GM-CSF cDNA was also subcloned into a expression plasmid pKPL-2D and the unfused recombinant human GM-CSF was expressed in E. coli. The expressed products could maintain in vitro the growth of a cell line BMU- 2 and stimulate its colony formation. In addition, it could increase the colony formation of bone marrow cells from the patients with acute non-lymphatic leukemia (ANLL).

Intestine is one of the fastest cellular renewal tissues and organs in the body cells,and intestinal mucosal epithelial cells keep self-renewal constantly all the life.Its effect relys on stem cells continued proliferation,differentiation and replaces the outer terminal differentiated cells.Under the stimulation after injury,the repairment of stem cells is initiated,the proliferation and differentiation of intestinal stem cells are stimulated throughout molecular mechanisms.Studys found that intestinal stem cells involve in the repairment of the gut during stress,trauma,anoxia,radioactive damage,inflammatory bowel disease and short bowel syndrome.In this paper,we briefly overviewed the definition,location,and differentiated regulation stem cells,and influence factors in the intestinal repairment.

Objective To explore the impact of curcumin on antistreptolysin“O”(ASO)and interleukin 8 (IL-8)level changes in serum of psoriatic mice model induced by phorbol ester(TPA).Methods 132 SCID mice were selected and divided into three groups.43 mice in normal group, 46 mice in model group,and 43 mice in intervention group.The mice of model group and intervention group were set up psoriasis model induced by TPA. Mice of the three groups were bred in the same environment,curcumin was injected in the intervention group mice,0.02 g/100 g,once a day,two weeks for a period of treatment.ASO and IL-8 level were compared amorg the three groups of mice after treatment.Results Before the treatment,compared with the normal group,positive rate of ASO in model group and intervention group increased significantly,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 );after treatment,the level of intervention group was significantly lower than model group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 );before the treatment,compared with the normal group,IL-8 level in intervention group and model group increased significantly,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05 );after treatment,level of the intervention group was significantly lower than model group,and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05).Conclusion Curcumin could effectively reduce ASO and IL-8 level in serum of psoriatic mice model, improve the clinical symptoms of psoriasis mice,it is an effective drug for treatment of psoriasis.

Objective To establish the optimum preparation process for Yinxingye Dropping Pills. Methods The preparation conditions, such as different kinds of primary substance, cooling agent, the proportion between the extracts and primary substance, etc, were studied with L9 (34) orthogonal design. Results At the following conditions could the best was 30 d/min, dropping distance was 8cm, and cooling temperature was 10℃. Conclusion This preparation process was suitable for both laboratory test and industrial production for Yinxingye Dropping Pills.

Objective To establish the optimal extraction technology for Yishen Jiangu Granules.Methods The orthogonal test was employed for selecting the optimum of extraction technology. The investigation factors were the consumption of water, the times and time of extraction. The extraction technology of Yishen Jiangu Granules was screened by the transfer rate of icariin in herb epimedii and yield of extraction.Results The best extraction condition was as follows:10 times of water, extracted for 3 times , each time was 3 h,2 h and 2 h. Conclusion This extracting technology for Yishen Jiangu Granule was objective, feasible, stable,reasonable and with good reproducibility.

The traditional Chinese medicinal therapy of the eye acupuncture is one of superior microacupuncture therapies which was invented by famous acupuncture professor Peng Jing-shan. Through needling points around the eye, the treatment can treat the diseases of whole body, especially for curing apoplectic paralysis. This article expounded and analyzed the mechanism of eye acupuncture in treating apoplectic paralysis through medical theory, biological holographic theory, modern nerves anatomy and nerves physiology.

Objective To detect exon deletions/duplications in the DMD gene in Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy pedigrees using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification method,and explore the usefulness of multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification analysis as a method for genetic diagnostics in patients with Duchenne and Becker muscular dystrophy.Methods Exon deletions/duplications in the DMD gene were analyzed by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification for two pedigrees with Duchenne muscular dystrophy and Becker muscular dystrophy.Patients and carriers were diagnosed by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification.Results The pedigree with Duchenne muscular dystrophy was caused by DelEx45-50 mutation,while the pedigree with Becker muscular dystrophy was caused by Dup Ex3-4 mutation.Patients and carriers were diagnosed by multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification method.Conclusion Exon deletions/duplications in the DMD gene can be indicated by probe copies using multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification method under standard operating procedure.Multiplex ligation-dependent probe amplification should be considered as a rapid and accurate clinical method for an initial mutation analysis of DMD gene with exon deletions/duplications.

Fluid resuscitation is the primary step in the management of acute circulation failure,aims to make a significant increase in cardiac output,and then providing adequate blood perfusion for peripheral tissues.According to Frank-Starling curve,the positive outcome only occurs in patients within a certain range of cardiac function,while in other conditions fluid overload would immediately increase the mortality. Distinguish-ing volume responders form non-responders effectively is still a serious problem common to adult and pediatric physicians at intensive care unit.Volume responsiveness assessment using transthoracic echocar-diography has become a research hotspot during the past few years,this review aims to make a summary of those findings as well as the present situation in pediatric field.

We proposed a multi-resolution-wavelet-transform based method to extract brainstem auditory evoked potential (BAEP) from the background noise and then to identify its characteristics correctly. Firstly we discussed the mother wavelet and wavelet transform algorithm and proved that bi-orthogonal wavelet bior5. 5 and stationary discrete wavelet transform (SWT) were more suitable for BAEP signals. The correlation analysis of D6 scale wavelet coefficients between single trails and the ensemble average of all trails showed that the trails with good correlation (> 0. 4) had higher signal-to-noise ratio, so that we could get a clear BAEP from a few trails by an average and wavelet filter method. Finally, we used this method to select desirable trails, extracted BAEP from every 10 trails and calculated the I-V inter-waves' latency. The results showed that this strategy of trail selection was efficient. This method can not only achieve better de-noising effect, but also greatly reduce the stimulation time needed as well.
