OBJECTIVE:To screen the optimal technology of dog testes and penis processed with talcum powder,and to pro-vide reference for the formulation of quality control standard. METHODS:Taking the comprehensive score of crushing rate and the content of alcohol soluble extract as evaluation indexes,L9(34) orthogonal test was used to optimize processing temperature,pro-cessing time and the amount of talcum powder;validation test was conducted. According to related method in Chinese Pharmaco-poeia(2015 edition),the contents of moisture,ash,nitrogen and alcohol soluble extract were determined,and automatic amino ac-id analyzer was used to determine the content of amino acids in samples. RESULTS:The optimal processing technology were that 100 kg dog testes and penis should add into 40 kg talcum powder;the processing temperature was 350-380 ℃;processing lasted for 4 min. Results of verification test showed that the average crushing rate and the content of alcohol soluble extract were 80.2%(RSD=0.95%,n=3)and 15.7%(RSD=2.30%,n=3). In processed dog testes and penis,the contents of moisture,ash,nitro-gen and alcohol soluble extract were 5.7%,18.7%,8.3%,15.7%,respectively. Besides,there still were 16 kinds of amino ac-ids,and their total content was 42.44%. CONCLUSIONS:The optimized talcum powder processing technology of dog testes and penis is stable and practical. The content of moisture,ash,nitrogen,alcohol soluble extract and amino acid can be used as impor-tant quality standard control indexes for processed dog testes and penis.

Objective To explore the clinical significance of T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells' detection in peripheral blood of patients with non-Hodgkin' s lymphoma (NHL).Methods 62 newly diagnosed NHL and 30 healthy adults were enrolled for analyzing.T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells were deteced by flow cytometry and compared between different groups according to age,sex and pathology.Multiple linear regression was used to analyze the correlation among the levels of T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells and several clinical factors,such as clinical stage,IPI and B symptoms.Results The proportions of CD3,CD4 and NK cells in peripheral blood of NHL group [(64.13±19.83) ％,(27.10±8.20) ％,(13.51± 10.59) ％] were significantly lower than those of normal control [(65.78±10.69) ％,(31.95±12.74) ％,(18.76± 7.36) ％] (P ＜ 0.05),while the proportions of CD8 and Treg cells in peripheral blood of NHL [(32.15±13.83) ％,(10.44±3.00) ％] were significantly higher than those of normal control [(29.25±12.35) ％,(7.51±4.36) ％] (P ＜ 0.05).In NHL,the proportions of CD3 and NKT cells [(67.06±19.24) ％,(4.91±3.69) ％] in ≤60 years old group were significantly higher than those in ＞ 60 years old group [(59.18±20.33) ％,(4.89±3.05) ％] (P ＜ 0.05).The proportions of Treg cells in T-NHL was significantly higher than that in B-NHL [(8.17±6.41) ％ vs (7.11±2.53) ％] (P ＜ 0.05).The proportions of CD3,CD4,NK and NKT cells in peripheral blood of NHL were significantly correlated with clinical stage (P ＜ 0.05),that of CD8 cells were significantly correlated with IPI (P =0.000),that of Treg cells were significantly correlated with IPI and B symptoms (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion The cellular immune is suppressed in NHL patients.The proportions of T lymphocyte subsets and NK cells in peripheral blood of patients with NHL are different between different groups according to age,sex and pathology.The correlations among that and clinical factors need to be further explored.

In this study, we use pot experiment to evaluate the effect of plant growth regulator on plant morphology and biomass allocation of Salvia miltiorrhiza. Different concentrations of uniconazole were supplied to S. miltioohiza by means of foliar spray. Height, breadth and stem diameter were measured dynamically, the biomass of leaf, stem, flower and fruit, root biomass and biomass ratio were also examined at the harvest time. Owing to the treatment, plant morphology showed significant changes, the height had been greatly reduced and the breadth decreased largely. Meanwhile, the biomass allocation changed too. The biomass ratio of leaf and stem had been notably reduced while the biomass ratio of root had been increased remarkably. It appears that foliar application of uniconazole during vigorous growth period in S. miltioohiza has dramatic effect on dwarfing plant and improving resistant to lodging. This measure could also be applied to condensed cultivation of S. miltioohiza to increase production.

The severe acute syndrome coronavirus 2(SARS-CoV-2)is responsible for the global pandemic of 2019 novel coronavirus disease(COVID-19). Understanding the pathogenic mechanisms of SARS-CoV-2 is of great significance to the prevention and control of the COVID-19 epidemic. The spike(S)protein of SARS-CoV-2 is a major target of protective immunity. The mutations of S protein impact the transmission and pathogenic capacity of SARS-CoV-2. In addition, angiotensin-converting enzyme 2(ACE2)is the receptor of SARS-CoV-2 S protein and mediates viral entry into target cells. The genetic polymorphisms of the ACE2 gene may lead to the difference of incidence of COVID-19 among different populations. Protease can promote the infection of SARS-Cov-2 by activating the S protein. This review summarized the current understanding of the function and genetic variants of S protein, ACE2, and the related proteases. The synergistic effect of these three molecules on the susceptibility of SARS-CoV-2 infection was further discussed.

Objective To analyze the recuperation of lungs after TECAB, and probe more effective nursing care for the lungs of patients after TECAB. Methods 20 cases received the treatment of TECAB were collected during the period of January 2009 to July 2010. Due to the reason of ventilation with single lung, patients were demanded to strength breath and take right lateral position and treated with back-tapping in left lung. Meanwhile, patients were treated with back-tapping with lower intensity and more times and lower frequency vibration ( 10 - 15 time/s). The recuperation of patients were observed and analyzed. Results After treatment, the value of PaO2 and PaCO2 were in normal range, and no complications were occurred and all of them recovered from illness. Conclusions Effective and well-targeted lungs nursing is an important assurance that helps the sufferer to recover from illness and the new lungs nursing after one-lung ventilation in TECAB is effective.

Ginsenoside Rb1 is an active component in ginseng. Previous in vitro experiments showed that ginsenoside Rb1, could inhibit lipolysis and promote glucose transporter in adipocytes. This study focused on the effect of ginsenoside Rb1 in insulin resistance and ectopic fat deposit in obese mice induced by high fat diet and its molecular mechanism. Obese male C57/L mice induced by high fat diet were randomly divided into the diet-induced obesity group (DIO group), the ginsenoside Rb1 group (Rb1 group) and the rosiglitazone group (Rog group), and continuously fed with high fat diet. In addition, male C57/L mice fed with normal diet were selected as the normal group (NC group). Mice in Rb1 group and Rog groups were intraperitoneally injected with ginsenoside Rb1 and rosiglitazone with the dosage of 20 mg x kg(-1) and 10 mg x kg(-1), respectively. NC and DIO groups were intraperitoneally injected with the same amount of saline. Two weeks later, the intraperitoneal glucose tolerance test (IPGTT) was performed. Three days later, the mice were killed, and their serum samples were collected to detect insulin and free fatty acid (FFA). Their livers were weighed to examine the triglyceride content, and a pathological detection was performed. Epididymal adipose tissues were weighed, and PDE3B, HSL and perilipin were detected by Western blotting. The results showed that the treatment with ginsenoside Rb1 for two weeks could improve the glucose tolerance of obese mice. Except for 0-120 min, the areas under the glucose tolerance curve (0-30 min, 0-60 min and 0-90 min) in the Rb1 group were less than that in the DIO group (P < 0.05, n = 5), with a much lower HOMA-IR (P < 0.05, n = 5). The fat level of obese mice was significantly reduced by Rbl (P < 0.05, n = 5), and so were liver weight/weight (P < 0.05, n = 8). The increased serum FFA of obese mice declined after the treatment of Rb1 (P < 0.05, n = 8). Rb1 could partially recover the expression of perilipin in adipose tissues, but without obvious change in the expressions of PDE3B and HSL and the phosphorylated activation. The above findings indicated that ginsenoside Rb1 could reduce the release of FFA and alleviate the ectopic deposit of triglyceride by up-regulating the expression of perilipin in adipose tissue, which may be one of its mechanisms for improving the insulin resistance and abnormal glucose metabolism of organisms.
