The extraction of the fatty acids from viscera gland of Chlamys farreri and Pecten yesoensis cultured off shore Dalian was studied and the fatty acids in fat were analysis.The results show that extraction rate,3.01%,is the highest when gas(CO 2) is filled up to expel oxygen,the ratio of material to water is 1∶2,the time is 60 minuites and temperature is 100℃.The contents of the unsaturated fatty acids of viscera gland fatty acids in Chlamys farreri and Pecten yesoensis are 32.0% and 32.8% respectively,in which the contents of EPT+DHA are 13.6% and 13.8% respectively.

[Objective] To explore the effects of rifampicin on cell morphology,intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS),reduced glutathione (GSH),and cell apoptosis in rotenone-induced differentiated pheochromocytoma (PC12) cells.[Methods] Rotenone was added in rat PC12 cells to develop a model of Parkinson's disease in vitro.Cell morphology was observed by microscope.Intracellular GSH was determined by a microplate reader.The intracellular ROS and the apoptosis rate were measured by flow cytometry.[Results] Compared with control group and rifampicin control group,GSH significantly decreased but ROS and apoptosis rate significantly increased in rotenone group.Compared with rotenone group,GSH significantly increased but ROS and apoptosis rate significantly decreased in a dose-dependent manner in rifampicin control group (100,200,and 300 μmol/L).[Conclusion] Rifampicin may reduce the damage of rotenone-induced differentiated PC12 cells through inhibiting oxidative injury in a dose-dependent manner.

Objective:To improve the rate of successful rescue through analyzing the clinical features and treating processes of septic shock caused by lymphocyst infection after lymph node dissection in diabetic patients.Methods:A total of 462 cases of diabetic patients with bladder, prostate, renal cancers, cervical, endometrial and ovarian were retrospectively analyzed, all of whom underwent standard surgical treatments including pelvic lymph node dissection, hospitalized in department of urology surgery and gynecology of Sun Yat-sen Memorial Hospital from Jan 2015 to Jan 2020. Lymphocytes were confirmed in 148 cases, of which 89 cases were complicated by infection, and 13 cases developed septic shock. Patients with lymphocyst infection were divided into shock and non-shock groups, and age, sex, duration of diabetes, BMI, glycosylated hemoglobin at admission, number of lymph nodes surgically removed, retention time of drainage tube after operation, maximum diameter of lymphocyst and time between infection and previous chemotherapy were compared. The initial symptoms, blood routine in the first time after the onset of the infection, the time from onset to drainage puncture and catheterization and the final outcomes were analyzed in 13 patients with septic shock. The results of pathogen culture and drug sensitivity of infected lymphocyst fluid were also analyzed.Results:Categorical variable test showed that: in diabetic patients with lymphocyst infection, there were significant differences in glycosylated hemoglobin ( P=0.018) , adjuvant chemotherapy ( P=0.014) and lymphocyst size ( P<0.001) between shock group and non-shock group. Among the 13 cases of septic shock, 11 caseshad mild to moderate fever or abdominal pain. The total leukocyte count of all cases in the first hemogram were less than 20×10 9/L. The average time from onset to drainage was 33 hours. Among the 13 patients, 5 developed MODS and 1 died. There were 2 patients whose conditions were complex with frequent fluctuations. In the 12 patients who recovered from septic shock, only 1 underwent a residual lymphocyst pretreatment, 4 had recurrent cyst infection for 1-2 times, 2 had septic shock again, and 1 died. Gram negative bacteria were the most common pathogens, and the main was Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Piperacillin / tazobactam, carbapenems and tigecycline were commonly sensitive, while the drug resistance rates of ceftazidime, ceftriaxone and levofloxacin were more than 50%. Conclusions:Poor glycemic control, adjuvant chemotherapy and big lymphocyst size(d≥5 cm) are the high risk factors of septic shock. Most of shock patients' initial symptoms and total white blood cell count have no warning significance, leading to longer time from infection to drainage, and delayed treatment. Early diagnosis, timely drainage and active anti-infection treatment are the key to a successful treatment. The possibility of connection between lymphocyst and surrounding organ should be considered when the treatment effect is not good. After septic shock of postoperative lymphocyst infection in patients with diabetes, the larger esidual lymphocyst should be intervened actively to avoid serious infection again.
