Their structures were elucidated on the basis of physicochemical properties and spectral analysis. Three compounds were identified as 28-O-β-D-glucopyranosyl-3β,7β-dihydroxy-lup-20 (29) -en-28-oate ( 1 ), 5,7-dihydroxychromone (2) and naringenin (3). Compound 1 is a new triterpenoid saponin and others were isolated from the fruits of this plant for the first time.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of peritoneal dialysis(PD) for acute renal failure(ARF) subsequent to cardiac surgical procedures in adults.Method Clinical data of 125 consecutive adult patients,admitted from Feb.1997 to Nov.2007,with ARF subsequent to cardiac surgery and undergone PD,were analyzed retrospectively.The levels of creatinine(Cr),blood urea nitrogen(BUN),albumin and kalium ion([K+]) were compared before and after PD.Results Of 8451 consecutive adult patients undergone operations on heart,358 cases(4.2%) experienced ARF,and 125 cases(1.5%) required PD.In 117 patients performed PD,[K+] declined to normal level within one day,BUN and Cr were 10.5?3.6mmol/L and 129.3?41.6?mol/L at the third day after PD respectively,significantly lower than those before PD(P

Objective To explore the role of oval cells in hepatic injure and to study its mechanism.Methods Fifty male SD rats were randomly divided into control group(20 cases)and model group(30 cases).Hepatic pathologic changes were observed through optical microscope and electron microscope.Vimentin and PCNA were detected by immunohistochemistry,Notch1、RBP-J?、HES1 mRNA were detected by semi-quantitative RT-PCR method.Results The histological morphology was normal in the control group,the positive cells of vimentin and PCNA were found on occasion,the expression of Notch1、RBP-J?、HES1 mRNA was low.In the model group,the oval cells were discovered in portal duct regions massively.The tonofilaments and desmosome juntion which were the distinctive structure of oval cells were observed by electron microscopy.The positive cells of vimentin and PCNA were increased(P

BACKGROUND: When the liver affected severe damage or excalation, liver stem cells rapidly proliferated and differentiated into mature liver cells to repair liver tissue. However, liver regeneration is a complicated multiple signal molecular regulatory process and related genes and proteins that participated in regulation remain unclear. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expressions of CD34 and Delta-like-1 protein in rat liver regenerated tissues after partial hepatectomy. METHODS: Rat hepatic regeneration models were established after hepatectomy. Expressions of ATPase, proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), CD34 and Delta-like-1 protein were detected by hematoxylin-eosin staining, enzyme-histochemistry and immunohistochemistry method at various time points. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: At the early stage of liver regeneration, the expression of ATPase was down-regulated, and the expressions of CD34 and Delta-like-1 protein were up-regulated. At the middle stage, the expression of ATPase was increased to the normal level, and the expressions of CD34 and Delta-like-1 protein were down-regulated. The expression of PCNA protein was continuously up-regulated. These suggest that the expressions of ATPase, CD34 and Delta-like-1 protein were different at different stages of hepatic regeneration, which means that different signal molecules were cooperated during the hepatic regeneration, and Notch-Delta signal pathway takes part in the pathogenesy.

Objective To build high availability cluster using VMware to improve availability of hospital information system.Methods Virtual machines were installed in VMware server to act as backup servers.High availability software continuously detected status of physical servers using heartbeat signals.Results When physical servers failed,high availability cluster switched services automatically.The business switched to virtual machine quickly and smoothly.Conclusion High availability cluster based on VMware can improve HIS availability and lower implementation costs effectively.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the chemical constituents of the ear of Schizonepeta mulifida (L.)Briq. METHODS：Ingredients of the ear of this plant were separated by means of solvent extraction and chromatography on silica gel and polyamide and activated charcoal. RESULTS：Three components were isolated. Their structures were elucidated based on the spectral analysis. One of them is a known compound i.e. dehydrosylvestrene (V). The other two were new compound,named neoenneaanetetraoic acid (Ⅶ)，and 3-imino-N-nitrogen substituted acetamide cyclic buty amide (Ⅷ). CONCLUSION：These 3 compounds were isolated from the plant for the first time.By the way, a mixture of n-alkane was also obtained which contains seventeen n-alkane compounds proved by GC-MS.

Objective To compare the different dehydrations of microwave-vacuurn drying and high temperature drying on contents of the major effective in fructus momordicae.Methods Using two different drying methods for processing of fructus momordicae, the mogroside Ⅴ, vitamin C in dried products which was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to a main indicator for comparing different drying methods.Results The contents of mogroside Ⅴ in fructus momordicae which processed by microwave-vacuum drying, microwave-vacuum drying after ripening treatment and high temperature drying were 1.14％, 1.19％ and 0.60％;the contents of vitamin C were 0.21％, 0.30％ and 0.000 06％.Conclusion The processing method of microwave-vacuum drying to keep active components is obviously better than which of high temperature drying.

Background An ethylnitrosourea(ENU)-induced mutant strain C57BL/6 mouse model has been established by our research group.This model is proved to have the spontaneous phenotype of corneal opacity and the typical pathological process similar to human keratitis.Therefore,this model is expected to be a good animal model in the research of the mechanism,hereditary property,and development of drugs for corneal infectious diseases.Objective The present study is to investigate the biological features of opportunistic pathogens using a mouse Staphylococcus-infected corneal model(C57BL/6 mouse) induced by N-ethyl-N-nitrosourea(ENU),and offers an evidence of stability in this animal model.Methods Ten-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were treated with ENU at 150mg/kg by intraperitoneal injection,and then mated with female mice after 60 days.Corneal opacity mutant mice in the F1 generation were selected to backcross with C57BL/6 mice.The bacteria were isolated from the eyeballs of the mutants and cultivated,purified and identified.Drug sensitivity assay was carried out to screen for effective antibiotics for clinic medical care.Results The staphylococcus-infected corneal mouse model(B6-Co) was established successfully,and the Staphylococcus sciuri strain was separated and purified,and then the sensitive antibiotics were distinguished from resistant ones.The sensitive drugs for Staphylococcus sciuri included azithromycin,clindamycin,chloramphenicol,gentamicin,rifampicin,tetracycline,amikacin,sulfamethoxazole compound sinomin,minocycline,levofloxacin,cephalothin,cefotaxime,and furazolidone;whereas this Staphylococcal strain was resistant to cefoxitin,penicillin,ampicillin,novobiocin.Nitrofurantoin showed an intermediate sensitivity.Conclusion The C57BL/6 mouse model is a spontaneous-derived animal model that is infected by coagulase-negative staphylococci,among which the most abundant strain is Staphylococcus sciuri.

The heparan sulfate proteoglycan(HSPG) is the major part of sulfated macromolecules synthesized by the cultured rat GECs, and plays an important role in maintaining the glomerular charge—selective function. We have investigated the effects of lipopolysaccharide (LPS, 6.25ng/ml), human recombinant interleukin—2, (HrI1—2, 2. 5u/ml), and protamine sulfate(PtS, 100?g/ml) on the proliferation of rat GEC and incorporation of 35 SO into cell layers in vitro. A method of 3 H—TdR and 35 S—Na_2SO_4 dual isotope labelling technique was used. Statistical analysis was done using analysis of variance for both 3 H—TdR uptake and 35 SO incorporation, and analysis of variance only for the latter. These results show that LPS, HrIL—2 and PtS inhibited the proliferation of rat GECs. HrIL—2 also directly inhibited the incorporation of 35 SO into cell layers, but the roles of LPS and PtS, which decreased 35 SO—content, only came from their inhibition effects on cell proliferation. We suppose that the decreased production of HSPG by GECs, may contribute to the development of proteinuria.
