The technologies that we call cell micropatterning allow the control of the shape and size of cell adhesion. Combination of micro/nano technology, surface chemistry, electrochemistry and photochemistry enables us to control the adhesion, migration, differentiation of cells and the interactions between different types of cells. These methodologies bring about a new platform for the studies of cell biology. A number of techniques for cell patterning and compares their advantages and disadvantages were reviewed in this article. The applications of cell micropatterning, including those for fundamental studies in cell biology, tissue engineering and cell-based biosensors were also discussed.

Objective To investigate the short-term treatment effectiveness of the auditory integrative training(AIT) on intelligence, language and gross motor function in children with spastic cerebral palsy (CP).Methods Sixty patients with spastic CP, aged 2 to 4 years old,who had been given all the routine conventional rehabilitation at the Rehabilitation Department of the People's Hospital of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region from January 2011 to December 2013 were randomly divided into AIT treatment group (30 cases) and control group without AIT (30 cases), all patients were investigated by using Gesell Developmental Scales and the Gross Motor Function Measure (GMFM)-66 before and after 3-month therapy, and the changes in the regional cerebral blood flow of children (rCBF) were detected by single photon emission computed tomography (SPECT) before and after treatment.Results The scores of development quotient (DQ) of the treatment group after the AIT in areas of adaptive behavior, personal-social behavior,language(52.44 ± 13.43,52.07 ± 11.57,57.19 ± 6.18) were higher than those of the control group (45.09 ± 11.02,45.86 ± 9.66,53.44 ± 5.49), and the differences between the 2 groups were greatly significant statistically(t =-2.32,-2.26,-2.49, all P < 0.05).There were no significant difference in DQ of gross motor, fine motor and scores on the GMFM-66 in the treatment group before and after treatment [40.40 ± 8.57,49.50 ± 14.20, (55.81 ±8.72) scores vs 44.03 ±11.90,46.34±9.78,(58.81 ±7.86) scores,t=-1.42,1.08,-0.52,all P> 0.05].SPECT detected abnormalities in all patients (100.00%) both in the 2 groups, compared with the control group,the rCBF was improved significantly after treatment in the treatment group (86.67%) (x2 =35.49 ,P < 0.05).Conclusions The treatment of AIT can greatly improve the intelligence, language development and the brain function in children with spastic CP.It is an effective adjutant of rehabilitation method for children with spastic CP to improve intelligence and language development, and has less influence on motor function.

In order to amplify the complete genome of enJSRV from the strain of Inner Mongolia (enJSRV-NM), we used enJSRV-specific and JSRV-specific DNA probes in dot blot hybridization. Seven pairs of primers were designed based on Genbank sequences. Seven fragments were obtained by PCR and were cloned into the PMD19- T vectors. The recombinant plasmids were sequenced and analyzed. The results showed that the genome was 7 942 bp in length and contained four overlapping open reading frames corresponding to the gag, pro, pol and env genes as well as an additional open reading frame (orf-x) that overlaps the 3' end of the pol gene. The nucleotide acid sequences of the enJSRV-NM loci were compared with the sequences of South Africa enJS56A1 strain (Accession No. AF153615) and USA JSRV21 strain (Accession No. AF105220). The nucleotide acid identities were 99.2% and 92.3% respectively. Two zinc fingers were found in the NC region in the predicted amino acid sequence. However, the YXXM motif, which is a reliable molecular marker for the infectious exogenous virus, was not found in the TM region. It was found that the enJSRV-NM region was 90%-98% identical at the amino acid level to its exogenous infectious counterparts in most of the retroviral genome. This is the first nucleotide sequence of enJSRV reported in P.R China. The resource work has provided a wide range of information useful not only for expression genomics and annotation of genomic DNA sequence, but also for further research on the clinical diagnosis of OPA.

Objective: To compare the in uence of various processing methods on AFB1 content in TCM cut crude drug. Methods: ELISA was used to determine the AFB1 content. Results: Heating processing method can decrease the content of AFB1 in TCM cut crude drug. However, it cannot make AFB1 content meet the scope of security when the AFB1 content in TCM cut crude drug was too high. Various heating processing methods had di erent e ect on the content of AFB1. Conclusion: Heating processing method had certain in uence on the content of AFB1. It was necessary to establish limitation standard of the AFB1 content. The AFB1 content limit in the less oil-bearing fruit TCM cut crude drug shouldn,t be higher than 5?g/kg and in the more oil-bearing seed TCM cut crude drug it shouldn't be higher than 20?g/kg. This was the same limit as the national food standards

Objective:To compare antitumor activity in vivo of Rhizoma Typhonii before and after processing. Methods:To observe the effect of water decoction and ethanol extract from Rhizoma Typhonii before and after processing on the sarcoma grafts and immune organs of S180 mice by using mice transplant tumor model. Results:The results showed that both of the Rhizoma Typhonii and processed Rhizoma Typhonii had antitumor effect,and the former was stronger than the latter. The extract from processed Rhizoma Typhonii can inhance the immune function of mouse at some extent. Compared with control group,the Rhizoma Typhonii before processing had no effect in prolonging the life of tumor-bearing mouse. But,the ethanol extract from processed Rhizoma Typhonii can prolong the life of S180 mouse. Conclusion:Decoction and ethanol extract from Rhizoma Typhonii and processed Rhizoma Typhonii had antitumor effect. Processed Rhizoma Typhonii can enhance immune function and increase in life span on S180 mice,So processed Rhizoma Typhonii should be used in clinical medicine.

Objective To determine the contents of four effective constituents in Euphorbiae Semen decoction;To provide evidence for Euphorbiae Semen decoction into clinical application. Methods Established quantitative analysis multi-components by single marker method was used to determine the contents of diterpenoids constituents, such as euphorbia storoid, euphorbia factor L2, and euphorbia factor L3. HPLC method was used to determine the contents of aesculetin. Results Contents of euphorbia storoid, euphorbia factor L2, and euphorbia factor L3 in smashed Euphorbiae Semen decoction were 0.015 9%, 0.005 9% and 0.024 1%, respectively. However, the contents of the above three constituents could not be detected in whole Euphorbiae Semen decoction. The content of aesculetin (0.693 6%) in smashed Euphorbiae Semen decoction was more than that in whole Euphorbiae Semen decoction (0.288 2%). Conclusion Decoction digestion effect of diterpenoids constituents in Euphorbiae Semen decoction is not good. Decocting with water is not suitable for the clinical application of Euphorbiae Semen for purgation and diuresis. Aesculetin in smashed Euphorbiae Semen decoction has good decoction digestion effect, in which clinical use for antisepsis and anti-inflammation is effective.

Objective: Gallbladder polyps are frequently discovered in the past decade. Ifthe polyps are oenign,without concomitant stone and the gallbladder has a good function, it is not an absolutely indication for cholecystectomy. For this reason percutaneous endoscopio polypectomy of the gallbladden polyps were developed and applied. Methods: Among those who underwent peroutaneous endosoopic polypectomy of the gallbladder, 85 patients with gallblaeder polyps were studied. Under the epidural anesthesia, cholecystoscope was introduced into the gallbladder. The polyps were coagulated by self-made miorowave ceagulator and then resected for histopathelogical evaluation. The preserved gallbladders were followed up to evaluate the effioacy of this minimally invasive therapy. Results: All precedures were eventful with mean operation time of 1h to 1. 5h. Sixty seven patients were followed-up for a mean of 5.5 yeah (2~9 years) and showed all patients to be symptom free and in 64 cases the gallbladder function was found to be well preserved without recurrence of polyps and occurrenca of gallstones on ultraSound. Conclusion: The procedure reposed is a reliable, simple,effective and minimally invasive technique to remove gallbledder polyps and to preserve gallbladder function for the patients who have the benign gallbladder polyps.
