The shake flask and 40t tank fermentation tests showed that, this strain showed special activity against Spodoptera exjgua, Comparing with original Bt strain: 93005, CK strain: HD-1-580 and GC-91, the value of potency increased respectively by 429%, 655% and 114% in shake flask test. Comparing with GC-91, the value of potency increased by 180% in 40t tank fermentation test.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and treatment of testicular masses associated with congenital adrenal hyperplasia(CAH).Methods A 25-year-old man presented with bilateral testicular nodules.Physical examination revealed palpable multiple nodules in the bilateral testes and epididymides as well as enlarged and hard right testis with uneven surface.Biochemical examination showed testosterone(T) of 18.7 nmol/L,17?-(OH)P＞20.0 ng/ml,positive results of rapid ACTH stimulation test and dexametha- sone suppression test.B-ultrasound demonstrated diffuse testicular lesions with nodules in parts of the bilater- al testes.Bilateral testicular nodules were biopsied,and pathological diagnosis was interstitial cell hyperplasi- a.Positive staining for?-inhibin was observed immunohistochemically.The clinical characteristics of testicular masses associated with CAH were reviewed in combination with the literature.Results Based on medical history,imaging,laboratory and pathologic examinations,the patient was diagnosed with testicular masses as- sociated with CAH.He received oral cortisol at dose of 40 mg daily for 2 weeks,and then at dose of 30 mg daily as maintenance therapy.After treatment of 8 months,B-ultrasound showed complete regression of the testicular tumors.Follow-up of 24 months showed no recurrence of the tumor.Conclusions For patient with bilateral testicular masses,endocrinological evaluation and clinical history taking are indicated to exclude testicular interstitial cell hyperplasia associated with CAH.By oral steroid replacement therapy,hormone-sen- sitive testicular masses can regress.

AIM: To investigate whether hypercapnia is protective against acute lung injury (ALI) in a rabbit model, and study it's potential mechanisms. METHODS: Twenty-two healthy New Zealand white rabbits were involved in this study, and randomly allocated to control group (group C), normocapnic group (group N) and hypercapnic group (group H). Oleic acid (0 1 mL/kg) was injected intravenously to establish ALI model. Lung mechanics, hemodynamics, blood-gas analysis, the content of malondialdehyde (MDA) and superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity in lung tissue were measured. Apoptosis was analyzed after 3h mechanical ventilation. RESULTS: (1) Peak airway pressure in group H was significantly lower than that in group N (P

Objective To investigate the protective effects of hypereapnia on acute lung injury(ALI)in an model of rabbits in vivo,and to observe its effect on oxygen free radicals in the lung tissue in order to uncover the potential mechanisms.Method In the laboratory of pharmacology,China Medical Univereity,twenty-two healthy New Zealand white rabbits were randomly assigned to control group(Group C,n=6)with the injection of normal saline(0.1 ml/kg),and sixteen rabbits were injected with oleic acid(0.1ml/kg)intravenously,and then were randomly dirided into normocapnia group(Group N,n=8)and hypercapnia group(Group H,n=8,FiCO2=8%).Then tracheostomy was performed,and the experimental animals were ventilated for 3 hours after oleic acid or sterile normal saline administration.Lung mechanics,hemodynamics,blood-gas analysis were monitored.The rabbits were exsangninated.and the lungs and heart were taken out from the thorax.The concentration of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and malondialdehyde(MDA)in the lung tissue were assayed.Lung tissue wet/dry ratio and pulmonary permeability index were measured and histologic damage was assessed after three hours'mechanical ventilation.Results Peak airway pressure in Group H was significantly lower than that in Group N and the dynamic lung comphance Was significantly higher than that in Group N(P＜0.05).PaO2 in Group H was significantly higher than that in Group N(P＜0.05).The concentration of MDA in the lung tissue in group H was significantly lower than that in Group N(P＜0.05),and SOD in group H was significantly higher than that in Group N(P＜O.05).Lung tissue wet/dry ratio and pulmonary permeability in group H were significantly lower than that in Group N(P＜0.05).Histological tissus damage in Group N wassignificantly severer than that in Group H.Conclusions Hypercapnia induced by inhalation of high concentration of carbon dioxide(8%)plays protective role in this in vivo model of ALI.The mechanisms may be associated with enhanced SOD activity and the attenuation of lipid peroxidation in the lung tissue.

Calcineurin inhibitors (CNIs) are playing an important role in preventing acute rejection in renal transplantation; however, their nephrotoxicity may impact long-term renal allograft survival. Several CNI-sparing regimens (such as CNI-avoidance or CNI-minimization) have shown at least comparable efficacy with standard-dose CNI regimens. Research continues to achieve the "best" balance between efficacy and toxicity of available immunosuppressive regimens.
