The quality of traditional Chinese medicines (TCMs) has been mainly evaluated based on chemical ingredients, yet recently more attentions have been paid on biological ingredients, especially for pill-based preparations. It is a key approach to establish a fast, accurate and systematic method of biological ingredient analysis for realization of modernization, industrialization and internationalization of TCMs. The biological ingredient analysis of TCM preparations could be abstracted as the identification of multiple species from a biological mixture. The metagenomic approach based on high-throughput-sequencing (HTS) and big-data-mining has been considered as one of the most effective methods for multiple species analysis of a biological mixture, which would also be helpful for the analysis of biological ingredients in TCMs. Simultaneous identification of diverse species, including the prescribed species, adulterants, toxic species, protected species and even the biological impurities introduced through production process, could be achieved by selecting appropriate DNA biomarkers, as well as applying large-scale sequence comparison and data mining. By this approach, it is prospective to offer an evaluation basis for the effectiveness, safety and legality of TCM preparations.

The rates of resistance to penicillins,cephalosporins were over 90.0%,the rates of resistance to Levofloxacin,ciprofloxacin were above 70.0%,and resistance rates to amoxicillin-clavulanic acid,Ticarcillin-clavulanic acid,piperacillin/tazobactam, amikacin were lower than 7.7%.Conclusion The drug-resistance of the E.coli were increasing over the past three years. There was a significant portion of MDR and PDR present in the trend.Thus,the reinforcement of the drug-resistance survey and testing have a far-reaching meaning to promote rational drug selecting.

Objective To evaluate the effects of dexmedetomidine used to supplement analgesia with sufentanil on the stress response and inflammatory response after cardiac valve replacement with cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB).Methods Forty-four patients of both sexes,aged 18-64 yr,with body mass index of 18-30 kg/m2,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅱ or Ⅲ (New York Heart Association Ⅱ or Ⅲ),scheduled for elective cardiac valve replacement with CPB,were randomly divided into sufentanil analgesia group (group S,n =20) and dexmedetomidine supplementing sufentanil analgesia group (group DS,n=24) using a random number table.After induction of general anesthesia,the patients were endotracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated.Combined intravenous-inhalational anesthesia was used to maintain anesthesia.Dexmedetomidine was infused at 0.3 μg · kg-1 · h-1 from closure of the chest to the end of surgery in group DS,while the equal volume of normal saline was given instead in group S.The patient-controlled intravenous analgesia (PCIA) was used for postoperative analgesia.PCIA solution contained sufentanil 2 μg/kg in 100 ml of normal saline in group S,or sufentanil 2 μg/kg plus dexmedetomidine 3 μg/kg in 100 ml of normal saline in group DS.The PCIA pump was set up with a 0.5 ml bolus dose,a 5 min lockout interval and background infusion at a rate of 1.5 ml/h.Visual analogue scale score was maintained ≤ 3.When visual analogue scale score ≥ 4,morphine 0.1 mg/kg was injected intravenously.The occurrence of analgesics-related respiratory depression,bradycardia and hypotension was recorded.At the end of surgery (T0),and 12,24,48 and 72 h after surgery (T1-4),blood samples were collected from the central vein for determination of serum cortisol,β-endorphin,C-reactive protein,interleukin-2 (IL-2),and IL-6 concentrations by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay.Results No analgesics-related adverse events were detected in the two groups.Compared with group S,the requirement for morphine was significantly decreased,the serum cortisol concentration was decreased at T2-4 and the serum β-endorphin,C-reactive protein concentrations were decreased at T1-4,the serum IL-2 concentrations were increased at T1-4,and the serum IL-6 concentrations were increased at T3 in group DS (P＜0.05).Conclusion Dexmedetomidine used to supplement analgesia with sufentanil can alleviate the stress response and inflammatory response after cardiac valve replacement with CPB.

Objective To research the expression of mitofusin-2 (mfn2) and tumor metastasis suppressor genes (nm23)in bladder cancer cells and its correlation with clinical pathological feature. Methods Immunohistochemistry was used to measure the expression of mfn2 and nm23.Sixty-five cases of bladder cancer were sampled,which include fif-ty cases of male and fifteen cases of female. TNM stage:Forty-seven cases were in stage I;Ten cases were in stage II; Five cases were in stageⅢ; Three cases were in stageⅣ. Other fifteen cases were sampled from normal bladder or benign tumor of bladder as control . All cases were collected from department of pathology,affiliated Hospital of hebei union university. Results The positive expression rate of mfn2 in bladder cancer tissues was significantly higher than those in normal blad-der tissues and benign tumor of bladder(χ2=32.528,P<0.05);The positive expression rate of nm23 in bladder cancer tis-sues was significantly lower than those in normal bladder tissues and benign tumor of bladder (χ2=19.719,P<0.05);the high expression level of mfn2 in bladder cancer was associated with tumor differentiation and TNM stage(P<0.05),but not corre-lated with age,sex,lymph node metastasis and clinical grade. The low level of nm23 was associated with TNM stage,clinical grade and LN metastasis. Conclusion The positive expression rate of mfn2 was increased in bladder cancer. It indicated that there was a close relationship between mfn2 and the occurrence and development of bladder cancer;The expression rate of nm23 was decreased in bladder cancer,it may be a predictor for metastasis and prognosis of bladder cancer.

AIM: To investigate the effect of GSTP1 over-expression on the sensitivity of human hepatoma HepG2 cells to oxaliplatin (OXA).METHODS: Adenovirus carrying GSTP1 (Ad-GSTP1) was used to infect HepG2 cells for establishing the cell line over-expressing GSTP1.The cells were randomly divided into 6 groups: control, vehicle, Ad-GSTP1, OXA, OXA +vehicle and OXA +Ad-GSTP1.The cell survival rates were examined by CCK-8 assay, and the apoptotic rates were analyzed by flow cytometry.The protein levels of GSTP1, Akt, mTOR, p-Akt and p-mTOR were deter-mined by Western blot.RESULTS: OXA decreased the cell survival rate in a dose-dependent manner (P <0.05).The protein expression of GSTP1 increased after transfection with adenovirus.At basal level, up-regulation of GSTP1 signifi-cantly decreased the cell survival rate, increased the cell apoptosis, and inhibited the phosphorylation levels of Akt and mTOR (P <0.05).Moreover, GSTP1 over-expression enhanced the effect of OXA on the cell viability, cell apoptosis, and further inhibited the phosphorylation levels of Akt and mTOR ( P <0.05).CONCLUSION: Over-expression of GSTP1 augments the enhanced effect of OXA on HepG2 cell apoptosis, which may be related to the inactivation of Akt/mTOR signaling pathway.
