AIM To study the mechanism of effects about total flavones of choeropondias axillaris(TFC) to heart. METHODS The effects of TFC on contractility were investigated through acting on the guinea pig right ventricle papillary muscles. RESULTS ① TFC decreased both the contractility and contraction rate of papillary muscles. ②The quantity effect curve of CaCl 2 was shifted to right after giving TFC. ③TFC 30.4 ?mol?L -1 prolonged remarkably the functional refractory period (FRP) of guinea pig right ventricle papillary muscles, but exerted no effect on excitability. CONCLUSION TFC can inhibit the Ca 2+ influx into cell in a concentration dependent manner.

Objective Discuss the treatment effect of sodium ferulate,deproteinized calf serum and high pressure oxygen on acute carbon monoxide poisoning.Methods Seventy-five cases with coma acute carbon monoxide poisoning were randomly divided into two groups:the treated group (37 cases) and the control group (38 cases).The two groups were treated with high pressure oxygen,high flow oxygen uptake and support treatment,The treated group were treated with sodium ferulate and deproteinized calf serum.The control group were treated with citicoline act medicaments.Result The occurrence and injury degree of myocardial damage and delayed encephalopathy were markedly attenuated (P ＜ 0.05),the time of coma was obviously decreased (P ＜0.01),the death rate was obviously difference (P ＜0.05) in the treated group compared with the control group.Conclusion Sodium ferulate,deproteinized calf serum injection possess obviously effect on acute carbon monoxide poisoning.

Objective:To construct pEGFP-C3-B7.2-MAGE-1 eukaryotic expression plasmids and to study the immunological effects of esophageal cancer cell vaccine modified by human B7.2/MAGE-1 gene.Methods:The B7.2 and MAGE-1 cDNA,which was amplified by RT-PCR, and the eukaryotic expression plasmid pEGFP-C3-B7.2-MAGE-1 was constructed. Human esophageal cancer cell EC9706 was transfected with the vector of pEGFP-C3-B7.2-MAGE-1 using the technique of lipofectamine transfection.The dendritic cells(DCs)from peripheral blood mononuclear cells(PBMC)were loaded with the tumor antigen,and co-cultured with congeneric T cells derived from PBMCs for 3 days to obtain the tumor specific cytotoxicity T lymphocytes(CTL). Methy1 thiazoly1 tetrazolium (MTT) assay was used to detect inhibition effect of CTL on transfected and untransfected EC9706 cells.Results:The CTL had stronger inhibition response against the cancer cells transfected with pEGFP-C3-B7.2-MAGE-1 than to the cancer cells transfected with pEGFP-C3 and the untransfected cancer cells(P

Benign anastomotic stenosis after esophagogastrectomy could reduce the patients' quality of life,even resulting in severe malnutrition and death.The endoscopic treatment includes dilatation,stent insertion,locoregional injection,and a relatively new technique radial incision and cutting.This article reviewed the progress in endoscopic treatment of benign anastomotic stenosis after esophagogastrectomy.

Objective To investigate the distribution of pathogenic bacteria,drug sensitivity,and the relationship between drug sensitivity and Escherichia coli(E.coli) induced enzymes in childhood diarrhea in the last 2 years in Chongqing area,so as to provide important evidence for pediatric clinical therapy.Methods Thirty-one E.coli induced enzymes,extended spectrum ?-laetamases(ESBLs),cephalosporinase(AmpC)detected in different phenotype methods,and drug sensitivity was measured in paper strip method,and the specimens were collected from children′s hospital affiliated to chongqing university of medical sciences from Jan.2005 to Dec.2006 were determined.Among the total,there were 18 enteropathogeic E.coli(EPEC) strains,8 enterotoxigenic E.coli(ETEC) strains and 5 enteroinvasive E.coli(EIEC) strains.In addition,drug resistance tests by paper strip included chloramphenicol(CHL),amikacin(AMK),gentamicin(GEN),norfloxacin(NOF),ciproflocacin(CIP),cefazolin(CEZ),cefoperazone(CPZ),ceftriaxone(CRO),ceftazidime(CAZ),cefotacime(CTX),cefepime(FEP),imipenem(IPM).SPSS 12.0 software was used to analyze the data.Results Three point two percent of the 31 E.coli were drug resistant to IPM,and 35.5%,38.7% to NOF,CIP individually,but more than 60% to AMK,GEN,even more than 67.7% towards cephalosporin(except ceftazidime and cefepime);the gross enzyme-produced rate was 87.1%,rate of single ESBLs,AmpC,and induction of both enzymes simultaneously presented 64.5%,6.5%,16.1% respectively;and there was marked difference in drug resistance when bacteria that produced single AmpC versus bacteria that produced single ESBLs or that produced both ESBLs and AmpC(Pa﹤0.05).Conclusions The relationships among enzyme′s quantity,sort and bacterial resistance are different.These data show E.coli infected by bacterial diarrhea children in Chongqing due to a high rate of induced enzymes,and their drug resistance vary according to the state of induced enzymes.

To investigate formation mechanism of secologanic acid sulfonates in sulfur-fumigated buds of Lonicera japonica, secologanic acid was enriched and purified from the sun-dried buds of L. japonica by various column chromatography on macroporus resin HPD-100, silica gel and ODS. The stimulation experiments of sulfur-fumigation process were carried out using secologanic acid reacted with SO2 in the aqueous solution. The reaction mechanism could be involved in the esterification or addition reaction. The present investigation provides substantial evidences for interpreting formation pathway of secologanic acid sulfonates in sulfur-fumigated buds of L. japonica.

Objective To investigate the expression of VIT-1 gene in melanocytes of patients with vitiligo, and to analyze the difference of its sequence. Methods The skin from the foreskins of healthy men by circumcision and from the non-lesional area on the buttocks of 5 patients were digested by dispase, then the epidermis and dermis were separated, and the melanocytes were isolated. Then we cultured the melanocytes from the controls in TICVA medium and those from the patients in TICVA medium supplemented with basic fibroblast growth factor (bFGF) and endothelin-1 ( ET-1). The expression of VIT-1 gene was measured by RT-PCR, the full-length cDNA of VIT-1 ORF was cloned and sequenced, and sequence difference was analyzed by CLUSTAL W ( 1.83 ) software. Results The expression levels of VIT-1 gene were significantly lower in melanocytes from the patients than in those from the controls. An 81 bp-intron was found in the VIT-1 ORF. VIT-1 was a fragment of FBXO11, located at its 3' end. Conclusion VIT-1 gene is not a new gene, but a fragment of FBXO11, and a member of F-box protein family.
