2,5-DKG reductase I was purified from cell-free extracts of a recombinant,ER97 by a procedure involving ammonium sulfate precipitation and successive column chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B and Phenyl Sepharose CL-4B with 5 fold purification,27 % recovery and 3418 U/mg specific activity.The molecular weight of the enzyme estimated by SDS-PAGE was 34kD.The isoelectric point was estimated to be 6.0 by PAG-IEF.The optimum pH was 7.0 and the optimum temperature was about 40℃.The enzyme can catalyze the stereospecific NADPH-dependent reduction of 25-DKG to 2-KLG.The michaelis-menten constant(Km) for 2,5-DKG and NADPH were 0.29 mmol/L and 14.7 mmol/L respectively.The enzyme is specific for NADPH and 2,5-DKG,1 mmol/L Cu~(2+) or Zn~(2+) could highly inhibited the enzyme activity.EDTA and ?-Mercaptoethanol have no effect on the enzyme activity.

Because of the neonatal immune system is immature,particularly in preterm and low birth weight infants,the neonate is prone to some infections.Neonatal sepsis usually has the slight performance and atypical clinical symptoms,which raise the great interest of searching for some better biomarkers.With the development of testing technology,the research of serum inflammation marker has made remarkable progress at home and abroad in recent years,however,the research of umbilical blood inflammation marker is still in the early stage of exploration.Umbilical blood detection have the advantages of early,noninvasive,safe and convenient compare to the traditional serum detection.This paper mainly discusses the application of umbilical blood detection to early onset neonatal sepsis.

Objective: To analyze the constituents and metabolites of Radix Sa poshnikoviae (RS) in rat plasma and urine by rapid-resolution liquid chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry (RRLC-TOF/MS), so as to explore the active ingredients and metabolites of RS in vivo. Methods: The separation was performed on a Angilent Zorbax Extend-C14 (5 μm, 250 mm x 4.6 mm id) column, with a methanol-water mobile phase system used for gradient elution. Time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF/MS) was applied for qualitative analysis under positive ion mode. Based on the accurate molecular weight of TOF/MS detection and the compound list of RS established previously, the constituents and metabolites of RS in different matrix in vivo were identified. Results: Six constituents of RS were identified in the plasma, sucrose, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, cimifugin, nodakenetin, 5-O-methylvisamminol, and 3′-O-i-butyrylhammaudol. Eight constituents were identified in the urine, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, divaricatacid, cimifugin, 4′-O-glucosyl-5-O- methylvisamminol, (3S)-2,2-dimethyl-3, 5-dihydroxy-8-hydroxymethyl-3, 4-dihydro-2H, 6H-benzo-[1, 2-b: 5, 4-b′] dipyran-6-one, 5-O-methylvisamminol, see-O-β-D-glucosylhammaudol, and wogonin. Two metabolites were identified in the urine, glucuronide of cimifujin and an isomer of it. Conclusion: The present method is reliable and effective for identifying compounds of RS in vivo, and it can provide a reference and evidence for the further pharmacodynamics experiments.

Treated 36 cases of infantile enuresis by acupuncturing Zuyunganqu (Foot Motor Sensory Area),Guanyuan (CV 4), Qihai (CV 6), Zhongwan (CV 12),Zusanli (ST 36), Yinlingquan (SP 9), Pishu (BL 20),Weishu (BL 21) and Shenshu (BL 23). After two courses,29 cases were cured, 5 cases were improvement and 2cases were no effect.

Objective To establish the quality standard for mongolian medicine Rhaponticum uniflorum (L.) DC. with modern analysis methods. Methods Chlorogenic acid and apigenin were identified by thin -layer chromatography (TLC). The chlorogenic acid content was determined by high performance liquid chromatograghy ( HPLC). And HPLC was performed on Kromat Universil C18 ( 4.6 mm × 250 mm, 5 μm) with methanol-water-acetic acid ( v/v/v, 15:85:0.85) as mobile phase, the detection wavelength was 326 nm, the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min, and the column temperature was 20℃. Results The samples and the reference substance shared the same color spots at the same sites. The linear range of chlorogenic acid was 0.044 66-0.446 6μg (r=0.999 8), and the average recovery rate was 99.84%. Conclusion The method is simple, accurate, and with good reproducibility, and can be used for the quality control of Rhaponticum uniflorum ( L. ) DC.

Cryptogenic stroke refers to ischemic stroke that can not be defined by routine examination at present. Studies have show n that patent foramen ovale may be a common cause of cryptogenic stroke, and its possible mechanism is the paradoxical embolism. With the development of imaging technology , more and more studies have show n that patent foramen ovale is closely associated w ith cryptogenic stroke. This article review s cryptogenic stroke in patients w ith patent foramen ovale.

Objective To understand and to assess the current situation of iodine deficiency disorders in Qaidam Basin,and to provide the information for measures and strategies of prevention and cure of this disease.Methods Within the boarder of Qaidam,five counties(cities)were selected for the investigation,which were Delingha,Golmud,Dulah,Wulan,and Tianjun.Two townships(towns)have been selected in each county(city),51 students aged 8 to 10 in one of the primary schools in each township(town)underwent thyroid palpation examination,their urine samples were collected to test urine iodine using arsenic-Ce catalysis spectrophotometric method.Thirty students of fifth-grade class in the selected schools underwent the questionnaire of prevention knowledge of iodine deficiency disease,while 10 housewives in each village near by the school were asked for the same questions,and the edible salt in their home was quantified of iodine by using direct titration method.Results Among the children aged 8 to 10,the average prevalence rate of thyroid enlargement Was 5.9%(30/510),higher than that stipulated by the national standard.The median of urinary iodine of urinary iodine level for children aged 8 to 10 was 83.4μg/L,the ration of urinary iodine＜20μg/L Was more than 10 percent;qualified iodized salt consumption rate of residents was 59.0%(118/200);the average scores and the checkout rate of fifth-grade students and the housewives who had underwent the questionnaire survey were 31.5,12.0%(36/300)and 35.9,18.5%(37/200)respectively.Conclusions The prevention and cure of iodine deficiency disorders in selected area do not work well,iodized salt is not popular,therefore health education needs to be strengthened.

Guinea pig as a commonly used laboratory animal is widely used in various fields of biomedical research.The stability of genetic quality directly affects its development and application .Genetic testing is designed to confirm the genetic characteristics of each strain , to verify whether there are genetic mutations and other genetic contamination, to ensure that the test object meets the requirements of this strain .Along with the emerge of biochemical and molecular marker technology , a more convenient and reliable means is provided for research of genetic homozygosity , genetic type detection and genetic quality monitoring of guinea pigs .In this paper, the application and research progress of biochemical, cytological and molecular markers in studies of guinea pig diversity will be summarized , and provide some help for genetic testing guinea pig.
