This dissertation is to determine the biopotency of hemostat which processed in different places by establishing a bioassay method of Bletillae Rhizoma based on the thrombin time. Contrast test is the main methodology. Specifically, the reference substance of Bletillae Rhizoma is determined by comparing with the control substance of vitamin K1 using thrombin time, which is calibrated the Bletillae Rhizoma. The hemostatic biopotency is calculated by using the method of "parallel line assay method based on quantitative responses" (3.3) from different processed products. It indicates that there is a strong linear correlation between Bletillae Rhizoma and control drugs (Y = 66.332-23.913X, R2 = 0.995 3). The hemostatic biopotency of Bletillae Rhizoma from different processed products ranged between 821.93-1 187.53 U x g(-1) shown in the paper, and all of them can meet the requirements of the test. The methodology has an appropriate instrument precision (RSD 3.8%), intermediate precision (RSD 4.6%), repeatability (RSD 3.2%) and stability (RSD 3.7%). Therefore, it can be turned out that the methodology which established in the dissertation is good at determinating the hemostatic biopotency of Bletillae Rhizoma and it is reliable, simple and repeatable.

Objective To explore the effects of continuous nursing intervention with regular care on health related behaviors in patients undergoing coronary artery bypass graft (CABG). Methods 80 undergoing CABG patients were recruited to the control group and the study group. All the subjects received regular care.Besides this, patients in the study group received continuous nursing intervention, which include: carrying out education and handing out handbooks before discharging, implementing telephone follow-up after discharging.The health related behaviors, which included 6 parts: nutrition, exercise, stress management, medicine management, complication management and smoking, were measured in the 4th week, 8th week and 12th week after discharging from the hospital. Results Patients in the study group had better health related behaviors than those who received regular care alone, specifically including better nutrition, exercise, medicine management and complication management behaviors. However, the differences of stress management behaviors and smoking between the two groups were non-significant. Conclusions The continuous nursing intervention was a safe and effective intervention style.

Objective To study the effect of magnetic nanoparticles on human cholangiocarcinoma xenograft in nude mice, and compared with otherchemotherapy drugs Methods We established human cholangiocarcinoma xenograft in nude mice with QBC939 cell line.The nude mice were devided into 4 groups randomly.Saline,5-FU, Gemcitabine and magnetic nanoparticles were given to nude mice through tail vein on 20d after implanting QBC939 cell line. Calculations were done at different time after treatment in order to compare tumor volume,inhibition ratio of tumor and tumor growth curve of each group. The nude mice were killed on 35d after treatment to harvest tissue for electron microscopic examination to observe ultra-structural changes. Results The tumor volume of control, 5-FU, magnetic nanoparticles and Gemcitabine groups was (2256.1?267.1) mm3, (2096.5?237.9)mm3,(1392.2?189)mm3, and (1534.9?115 )mm3 respectively.The last two groups have significant difference compared to the first two groups(P

This study is to assess the efficacy of BPCBG on the decorporation of uranium (VI) and protecting human renal proximal tubular epithelial cells (HK-2) against uranium-induced damage. BPCBG at different doses was injected intramuscularly to male SD rats immediately after a single intraperitoneal injection of UO2(CH3COO)2. Twenty-four hours later uranium contents in urine, kidneys and femurs were measured by ICP-MS. After HK-2 cells were exposed to UO2(CH3COO)2 immediately or for 24 h followed by BPCBG treatment at different doses for another 24 or 48 h, the uranium contents in HK-2 cells were measured by ICP-MS, the cell survival was assayed by cell counting kit-8 assay, formation of micronuclei was determined by the cytokinesis-block (CB) micronucleus assay and the production of intracellular reactive oxygen species (ROS) was detected by 2',7'-dichlorofluorescin diacetate (DCFH-DA) oxidation. DTPA-CaNa3 was used as control. It was found that BPCBG at dosages of 60, 120, and 600 micromol kg(-1) resulted in 37%-61% increase in 24 h-urinary uranium excretion, and significantly decreased the amount of uranium retention in kidney and bone to 41%-31% and 86%-42% of uranium-treated group, respectively. After HK-2 cells that had been pre-treated with UO2(CH3COO)2 for 24 h were treated with the chelators for another 24 h, 55%-60% of the intracellular uranium was removed by 10-250 micromol L(-1) of BPCBG. Treatment of uranium-treated HK-2 cells with BPCBG significantly enhanced the cell survival, decreased the formation of micronuclei and inhibited the production of intracellular ROS. Although DTPA-CaNa3 markedly reduced the uranium retention in kidney of rats and HK-2 cells, its efficacy of uranium removal from body was significantly lower than that of BPCBG and it could not protect uranium-induced cell damage. It can be concluded that BPCBG effectively decorporated the uranium from UO2(CH3COO)2-treated rats and HK-2 cells, which was better than DTPA-CaNa3. It could also scavenge the uranium-induced intracellular ROS and protect against the uranium-induced cell damage. BPCBG is worth further investigation.

AIM:To observe the concentration of RBP4 and IL-6 in vitreous of proliferative diabetic retinopathy (PDR). METHODS: A total of 65 patients (66 eyes) were enrolled in Department of Ophthalmology, Renmin Hospital of Wuhan University from February 2017 to July 2017 with the informed consent. The patients were divided into PDR group (23 cases) and NPDR group (16 cases). Twenty- six patients without diabetic mellitus (DM) served as control group. The demography was matched among the groups, but the course of DM, the blood glucose level and the HbA1c level were elevated in the PDR group and the NPDR group (all P<0.05). Vitreous samples were collected during the procedure of vitrectomy. RBP4,IL-6,TNF-α concentrations in vitreous specimens were detected by ELISA. The differences of vitreous RBP4, IL-6 and TNF-α in various groups were statistically analyzed by ANOVA, respectively. The correlations between RBP4 and IL - 6, TNF - α were calculated by Pearson correlation analysis. RESULTS:The concentration of RBP4 in PDR group,the NPDR group and control group were 13.68士2.66, 11 03士1 12,10.45士1.17μ g/Ml, and the concentration of IL-6 were 56.0士10.27, 20.92士5.77, 10.26士1.91pg/Ml. RBP4 and IL- 6 concentrations were elevated in PDR group compared with NPDR group and control group, with significant difference among three groups (F = 12. 135, 161.167; P < 0. 01). IL - 6 concentrations in vitreous increased in the NPDR group in comparison with control group(P<0.05). RBP4 concentrations had no significant difference between the NPDR group and the group(P>0 05). Pearson correlation coefficient was significant positive between RBP4 concentration and IL - 6 concentration(r=0.606,P=0.001). CONCLUSION: RBP4 is probability involved in the inflammation pathogenesis of PDR. These results indicate that RBP4 could be a new target for the diagnosis and treatment of PDR.

To investigate the anti-tumor and side effect of CpG ODN 1826 and CpG ODN2006 as an adjuvants on leukemic tumor in mouse-models, an acute lymphocytic leukemic tumor in mouse model was established, then inoculated inactivated L1210 cells alone or with different vaccine adjuvants were injected subcutaneously into each DBA/2 model mouse at different times. The activities of mice, the tumor formation rate and the growth status of leukemic tumor were observed. The tumor was examined by pathologic section. The results showed that the vaccine of inactivated L1210 cells and CpG ODN 1826 could decrease the leukemic tumor formation rate, slow down the growth of leukemic tumor mass in mice and obviously cause necrosis of tumor cells, but it could not prolong the life spans of the tumor-burden mice; while CpG ODN2006 could not only decrease the tumor formation rate, slow down the growth of tumor mass in mice and result in obvious necrosis of tumor cells, but also could eliminate the existing tumor mass in mice, and prolong the life spans of the tumor-burden mice. It is concluded that using CpG ODN2006 as an adjuvant enhances the anti-tumor effect against the leukemic tumor, prolong the life span of tumor-burden mice without obvious side effect.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the relationship between the resuscitation promoting role of resuscitation promoting factor and the initial bacteria amount of dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis.

METHODSMycobacterium tuberculosis (dormant bacteria) was cultured for 100 days, then diluted into 1 mg/ml concentration with 7H9, and further diluted into 0.5, 0.25, 0.125, 0.0625, and 0.03125 mg/ml. Twelve new tubes added with 5 ml 7H9 and divided into two groups: the first group was added with the resuscitation-promoting factor protein, and the second group as control was added with 7H9. In each group the above diluted solutions were added. The tubes were located at 37 degrees C for culture. Optical density (OD) was detected on day 15, 25, 30, and 35. From each tube 1 microl culture solution was plated on 7H11 medium for colony counting.

RESULTSOD detection showed that bacteria proliferation in each group had positive linear correlation (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), indicating that the resuscitation-promoting factor played a similiar role in solutions with different dilution concentrations. 7H11 results and the OD results show that these two detection methods in each group had linear correlation (P < 0.05, P < 0.01), indicating that these two methods showed consistent test results.

CONCLUSIONThe resuscitation-promoting factor has no effect on the resuscitation of dormant Mycobacterium tuberculosis and its initial bacteria amount.
