Ten novel conjugates with ursolic acid core and different chalcone ligands were synthesized via esteri-fication using the natural ursolic acid as starting material. The structures of these conjugates were confirmed by 1 H NMR, 13 C NMR and HRMS. The preliminary biological results showed that these compounds displayed signifi-cant antiproliferative effect on CNE2, KB, MCF-7, A549 and HepG2 cells. These compounds were more effective than ursolic acid and tamoxifen against MCF-7 cells. Especifically, compound 11e ( IC50 =4. 7 μmol/L) showed the greatest potency against MCF-7, which was about 3-times more potent than tamosifen ( IC50 =15. 2 μmol/L) . Additionally, all conjugates were nontoxic to health MCF-10A and VERO cells, and had higher security than tamoxifen.

The normal and ischemic dog myocardia were treated with freeze-etching method and observed by transmission electron microscope, with special reference to the ultrastructural changes of myocardial cell membrane.Following 6 hours of coronary occlusion, the myocardial samples were taken from central and borderline ischemic areas as well as from distant normal area. The samples were cut into slices of about 1.5?1.5?3 mm~3 in size and proceeded by the routine freeze etching procedure.The myocardial cell membrane were fractured into the P face and E face. In normal myocardial cell membrane, the number of intramembranous particles of the P face was exceedingly larger than that of the E face. There were numerous caveolae appearing as depressions on the P face and elevated structures on the E face. In central and borderline ischemic areas, intramembranous particles were significantly decreased and aggregated. Following coronary occlusion, the caveolae of the myocardial cell membrane were found to be decreased, deformed or absent. In the severe ischemic area, spherical elevations with "rosette" configuration were occasionally observed as elevation on P face and depressions on E face.

The normal rabbit pancreas was treated with DMSO freeze-cracking method and observed by scanning electron microscope, with special reference to examine the ultrastructure of pancreatic exocrine portion.The pancreatic acinus was composed of five to six pyramidal acinar cells around the lumen. A few short microvilli were present at the apex of each acinar cell. The spherical nucleus was located in the basal region, with one to three nucleoli.Numerous rough surfaced endoplasmic reticula were found in the basal region of acinar cells arranged either in longitudinal arrays, or concentrically. Mitochondria were located between rough surfaced endoplasmic reticula. The rough surfaced endoplasmic reticulum may extend into supranuclear portion where well-developed Golgi apparatus and numerous spherical zymogen granules were situated.

Objective To investigate the pathogenic features and antibiotic resistance profile of nosocomial and community-acquired spontaneous bacterial peritonitis (SBP) in liver cirrhosis patients.Methods Two hundred and twenty-six cirrhotic patients with SBP who were admitted to Beijin Ditan Hospital from January 2001 to December 2008 were recruited into this study. The bacterial identification and drug susceptibility were performed. The data were analyzed by Chi square test and t test. Results Eighty-six(38.0% ) patients were diagnosed with nosocomial SBP and 140 (62.0%)were diagnosed with community-acquired SBP. The proportion of Child-Pugh Class C cases in patients with nosocomial SBP was higher than patients with community acquired SBP (97.7% vs. 82.8%; x2= 11. 489, P=0.001). Mortality rate in patients with nosocomiat SBP was also higher than patients with community acquired SBP (50. 0% vs. 30. 0%; x2 =9. 081,P=0. 003). Total 28 species (232strains) of bacteria were isolated from these patients. 77.5 % (69/89) of the nosomial SBP cases and 76.9% (110/143) of community-acquired SBP cases were caused by Gram-negative bacteria (mainly were Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae). 19.1% nosocomial SBP cases and 21. 8%community-acquired SBP cases were caused by Gram-positive bacteria. Fungus infections accounted for 3.4% and 1.4% of these two population, respectively(P＞0.05). In patients with nosocomial SBP,19 out of 32 Escherichia coli stains and 5 out of 14 Klebsiella pneunmoniae strains were extended spectrum β-lactamase (ESBL) positive, while among 60 Escherichia coli stains and 32 Klebsiella pneunmoniae strains, only 11 Escherichia coli stains were ESBL positive (P＜0.05). The resistance rates of Gram-negative strains to cephalosporin and quinolone in nosocomial SBP patients were both higher than those in community-acquired SBP patients(P＜0. 05), but all Gram-negative isolates were sensitive to imipenem (P＞ 0. 05). No Gram-positive isolates resistant to vancomycin were found.Conclusions The liver cirrhosis patients with Child-Pugh Class C are vulnerable to nosocomial SBP and the prognosis is poor. Although the pathogenic spectrum are similar in cirrhotic patients with nosocomial and community-acquired SBP, which mainly are Escherichia coli and Klebsiella pneumoniae, the percentage of ESBL producing strains is higher in nosocomial SBP patients compared to that in community-acquired SBP patients.

Objective To explore the preference of emotional memory in different cognitive style of undergraduates.Methods A 2 cognitive style (field independent style / field dependent style) * 3 facial expressions (positive/neutral/negative faces) mixed designs were adopted to compare the reaction time,which in the condition of stimuli presentation time 500 ms in field independent and dependent participants (n =25,respectively).E-Prime program was used to present the stimulus and to record the reaction time and accuracy to stimuli of all subjects.Repeated Measurement ANOVA was used in the research,facial expressions (positive/neutral/negative faces) as the within group factor,and groups (stress/non stress) as between group factor.Both the main effect of each variable and the interaction effect of variables were tested.Results There were a significant difference of response time and accuracy between the field independent and field dependent college students.It was shown by repeated measurement A NOVA that the main effect(F(2,47) =4.321,P＜ 0.05)in facial expressions properties and the interaction effect(F(2.47) =3.299,P＜ 0.05)between groups and facial expressions properties were found.Further analysis showed that the reaction time to detect stimulus of positive((610.71 ± 11.26)ms)and neutral ((606.24 ± 18.27) ms) facial expression was shorter than negative ((653.17 ± 20.91) ms) faces for field independent participants (P＜0.05).Interestingly,for field dependent group,the neutral faces ((675.67 ± 21.01) ms)were faster than others (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Field independent students had significant advantages over field dependent students in emotional memory.

Objective To summarize the clinical experience of nasal endoscopic treatment for refractory epistaxis. Methods .A retrospective analysis was made on 258 patients with refractory epistaxis treated with intranasal endoscopic exploration and hemostatic treatment from January 1998 to December 2004 in this hospital. Results .Hemorrhage was found on the nasal septum and the lateral nasal wall in 118 and 47 patients, respectively. Nose bleeding resulted from intranasal tumor in 8 patients. The site of bleeding was not clearly identified in 85 patients. Of the 258 patients, 257 responded to the treatment (99.6%) and 1 died ( 0.4%).Recurrent bleeding occurred in 43 patients. The incidence of recurrent bleeding was significantly higher in patients with unknown bleeding sites than in clearly diagnosed patients (?2=17.689,P=0.000). Conclusions .The emphasis of nasal endoscopic treatment for refractory epistaxis should be laid on the initial management, during which the bleeding site should be carefully identified. For patients with repeated nose bleeding, a combination treatment, including endoscopic filling-up of the anterior nasal cavity, endoscopic embolization of anterior and posterior nose, or embolization of the internal maxillary artery, is necessary.
