Objective To investigate the effects of HMME mediated photodynamic therapy (PDT) on apoptosis of murine hepatoma cell line MM45T-Li.MethodsThe photodynamic treatment on MM45T-Li cells was performed in vitro using HMME as photosensitizer and 630 nm laser as light source.The ceils were incubated with HMME of 2.5,5,10 and 20 μg/ml for 4 h respectively,and then irradiated with laser at different dosages.The dark toxicity of HMME and the activity of cells after PDT were evaluated by MTT assay.The effect of PDT on apoptosis were observed by Hoechst fluorescent staining analysis.ResultsMTT assay showed that there were no significant effects on cell growth in each concentration group of HMME when the cells were not exposed to light.The inhibition ratio of cells increased with laser dosage at HMME concentration of 10 and 20 μg/ml.Chromatin condensation,nuclear pyknosis and karyorrhexis were observed after PDT by Hoechst fluorescent staining analysis.The apoptosis rate increased in groups of 5.4 J/cm2 and 7.2 J/cm2 compared with that of control (P＜0.05).Conclusion HMME mediated PDT can efficiently induce the apoptosis of MM45T-Li cells.

A high xylanase producing strain 22 of Aspergillus clavatus was screened from 105 strains of molds and yeasts. The suitable medium consisted of (g/L): bagasse hemicellulose 30, NH_4NO_3 5, yeast extract 5, wheat bran 10, Tween 80 1 and a small quantity of other minerals; initial pH 5.5. Theoptimalsporeinoculumwas4.9X10~6spores/ml (final concentration). Theactivity of xylanase was as high as 335.9 U/ml in shake-flask experiment at 28℃ for 72 h. The optimal temperature and pH for xylanase reaction were 50℃ and pH 4.8. 72.6% of its original activity was remained after incubation at 50℃ for 1 h, and 90% of the enzym activity was observed upon storage at 8℃ for 9 days . Sugars. Na~+. Ca~(2+). and Zn~(2+) increased its activity wherease Co~(2+)and Cu~(2+) inhibited it.

ObjectiveTo investigate the semantic induce effects in reading disorder of the Chinese deep dyslexia. MethodsA patient with deep dyslexia was researched with initials inducement (as phonetic inducement), semantic-related words inducement, numeral inducement, quantifier inducement, context inducement and actual object inducement (all as semantic inducement). ResultsThe rate of correct results were more with semantic inducements than with phonetic inducement (91.30%, 76.67%, 94.44%, 83.33% vs 44.44%, P<0.001). ConclusionThe semantic induce training is more effective than the phonetic induce training on Chinese deep dyslexia.

Objective To investigate and compare the killing effect of photodynamic therapy (PDT)induced by hematoporphyrin derivative (HpD),hematoporphyrin monomethyl ether (HMME) and photocarcinorin (PsD007) on human leukemia cells K562 in vitro.Methods Human leukemia cells were cultured with serial concentrations of photosensitizers followed by irradiation of different dosage of laser light,then MTT colorimetric assay was applied to measure the relative survival rate of PDT for the cells.Results Significant difference in the inhibitory between the PDT group and control group was observed (P＜0.05).The survival rate of PDT for the cells elevated along with the increase in the concentration of sensitizer and dose of laser light.When the photosensitizer concentration was bigger (25 μg/ml) or the energy density was bigger (7.2 J/cm2),the effect of PsD007 was better than HMME,and they were significantly better than HpD (P＜0.05).Conclusion PDT has significant killing effect on human leukemia cells K562,and its relative inhibitory rate appears to be correlated with the dose of sensitizer and laser light irritation.The effect of PDT is related to the photosensitizers.The effect of HpD-PDT is not as effective as PsD007 and HMME.On the conditions of higher energy density and larger photosensitizer concentration,the effect of PsD007-PDT is better than HMME-PDT.

Objective To explore the predictive value of ventricle late potential (LP) for arrhythmic events in the patients with Brugada syndrome. Methods Totally 43 patients with Brugada syndrome were divided into symptom group (n=24) and asymptom group (n=19).Signalaveraged electrocardiography(SAECG) was performed to analyze characteristics of LP in all subjects.The occurrence of arrhythmic events was observed in all patients during the dynamic follow-up for (33.8±9.0) months.Results There were 22 cases (91.7％) and 7 cases (36.8％) with LP positive in patients with symptom and asymptom,respectively.The incidences of arrhythmic events were 72.4％ in Brugada syndrome patients with positive LP and 14.3％ in patients with negative LP,respectively.The relative risk (RR,95％ CI) for LP prediction of the arrhythmic events was [5.1,(1.4～ 18.6)] (P =0.002). ConclusionsLP may be one of effective factors predicting arrhythmic events in the patients with Brugada syndrome.

To have a thorough understanding of the CPR quality based on patients' various physiological states, the doctors must do something to simulate the chest compression physiological feedback parameters (CCPFP). The CCPFP simulation plays an important role in raising efficiency of CPR training and improving chest compression quality. In this study, the CCPFP, including cardiac output (CO), coronary perfusion pressure (CPP), partial pressure of End-tidal CO2 (PETCO2) and mean arterial relaxation pressure (MARP), was simulated using Charles F. Babbs' Model. Simulation results showed that the effect of compression depth upon CCPFP was important in the range of 2-6 cm, whereas compression rate had little effect on the CCPFP higher than 100/min; the thoracic factor is inversely proportional to the CCPFP with fixed compression depth and compression rate. The CCPFP simulation can be implemented at the various physiological statuses, and verified well with the animal experimental results and the clinical results.

In Treatise on Cold Pathogenic and Miscellaneous Diseases,there are five articles concerning"diet as usual".When many doctors annotate such articles,they mostly interpret"diet as usual"as normal diet or because of stomach qi not affected by disease,ignoring the true significance of"diet as usual"and its role in clinical differential diagnosis.Through sorting out and summarizing the relevant provisions of"diet as usual",combining with the comments of Shuowen Jiezi and various ancient and modern doctors on the relevant provisions of"diet as usual"to explore the meaning behind it,the author believes that"diet as usual"can only be understood as"diet as before".Because it exists in a variety of diseases,it cannot be blindly extended to"normal diet"."Diet as usual"has two functions in clinical differential diagnosis:on the one hand,the stomach is empty,and no solid no drink blocks the qi movement,or there is stagnant heat in the stomach and intestines,but has not yet formed dry feces;on the other hand,when the middle jiao becomes one of the pathogenic factors of the disease,"diet as usual"can exclude the influence of the middle jiao.

Sterilization is one of the key links in the production of traditional Chinese medicine,and it is also an important factor to ensure the safety,effectiveness and quality control of traditional Chinese medicine.Traditional sterilization techniques such as moist heat sterilization are limited in many cases due to their inherent shortcomings.In contrast,irradiation sterilization has attracted more and more attention due to its advantages of fast,efficient,strong sterilization and low cost.However,the chemical composition of traditional Chinese medicine is complex,due to the radioactivity and strong penetration of irradiation,after a certain dose of irradiation,its chemical composition and pharmacological activity may change.At present,there is still a lack of systematic research on the changes of chemical composition,effectiveness and safety of traditional Chinese medicine after irradiation sterilization.Based on the research status of 60Co-γ ray and electron beam irradiation sterilization in the sterilization of traditional Chinese medicine in recent years,this paper reviews the effects of irradiation on the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine,the detection methods of irradiation and the safety evaluation,in order to provide some reference for the subsequent application of irradiation sterilization of traditional Chinese medicine.

The purpose of this paper is to explore the decoction and dosing methods of rhubarb root and rhizome in classical prescriptions and to provide a reference basis for the clinical use of rhubarb root and rhizome. By collating the relevant classical prescriptions of rhubarb root and rhizome in Shanghan Lun and Jingui Yaolüe, the relationship between its decoction and dosing methods and the syndrome was analyzed. The decoction of rhubarb root and rhizome in classical prescriptions can be divided into three categories: simultaneous decoction, decoction later, and other methods (impregnation in Mafei decoction, decoction with water from the well spring first taken in the morning, and pills). If it enters the blood level or wants to slow down, rhubarb root and rhizome should be decocted at the same time with other drugs. If it enters the qi level and wants to speed up, rhubarb root and rhizome should be decocted later. If it wants to upwardly move, rhubarb root and rhizome should be immersed in Mafei decoction. If it wants to suppress liver yang, rhubarb root and rhizome should be decocted with water from the well spring first taken in the morning. If the disease is prolonged, rhubarb root and rhizome should be taken in pill form. The dosing methods of rhubarb root and rhizome can be divided into five categories: draught, twice, three times, before meals, and unspecified. For acute and serious illnesses with excess of pathogenic qi and adequate vital qi, we choose draught. For gastrointestinal diseases, we choose to take the medicine twice. For achieving a moderate and long-lasting effect, we choose to take the medicine three times. If the disease is located in the lower part of the heart and abdomen, we choose to take it before meals. The use of rhubarb root and rhizome in clinical practice requires the selection of the appropriate decoction and dosing methods according to the location of the disease, the severity of the disease, the patient′s constitution, and the condition after taking the medicine.
