The research to improve outcomes in critically ill patients through nutrition support has steadily progressed over the past 4 decades. One current approach to this problem is the addition of specific nutrients as primary therapy to improve host defenses and improve the outcomes of critically ill patients. The field is referred to as“pharmaconutrition”,focusing investigations on each nutrient to understand its pharma-cological effects on immune and clinical outcomes. The purpose of this review was to introduce some of the known pharmaconutrients such as glutamine,arginine,ω-3 fatty acids,vitamin C,zinc,and selenium,regard-ing critical ill adults and children.

With advances on drug genomics of leukemia,the drug toxicity has been found to be associated with the drug metabolism gene polymorphisms in children with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.Current researches are to focuse on how to find a genotype to predict methotrexate toxicity effectively and treat patients individually.This review illustrates the association between three drug-metabolizing enzyme gene polymorphisms including methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase,reduced folate carrer and glutathione S-transferase and toxicity of methotrexate.

Objective:To investigate genetic polymorphism of four X chromosome short tandem repeats(X-STR)loci(DXS7132、 DXS6789,HPRTB,DXS8378)in Chongqing Han population.Methods:EDTA-blood samples were collected from the unrelated individuals in Chongqing.After being extracted with Chelex-100 method,the DNA samples were amplified by PCR technique.The PCR products were analyzed by PAGE,genotyped with silver stain method.Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium was tested,and then used direct counting method to calculate allele and genotype frequency of these four loci.Results:The polymorphisms of all four STR loci were obtained from 120 unrelated females and 91 unrelated males from Chinese Han group.?2 tests on the genotype frequencies in female reveal that genotype frequencies in females did not depart from Hardy—Weinberg equilibrium.Conclusion:It was suggested that DXS7132,DXS6789,HPRTB,DXS8378 locus are suitable for individual identification and paternity testing,and we provide new selectable STR markers for chromosome X haplotype in forensic application.

Objective To evaluate the value of hysteroscope in the diagnosis of the cause of perimenopausal uterine bleeding. Methods 158 patients were checked with HS.Orientation biopsy and diagnostic uterine curettage were performed. Results The rate of the sensitivity of HS for endometrial illness was 87.8%(79/90),endometrial ployp 96.20%(25/26),submucous fibromyoma 3/4,endometrial proliferation 62.5%(20/32),Endometrial cancer 3/5. Conclusions Endometrium can be directly seen with HS.The conbination of HS with uterine curettage and pathological examination is an optimal method in early diagnosis of the cause of PUMB.

Objective To determine the content of rutin in Circanetten New tablets by HPLC. Methods The determination is performed at C18(150 mm? 4.6 mm, 5 ? m) column with temperature being 30 ℃ ; the mobile phase is consisted of methanol- water- glacial acetic acid(40 ∶ 60 ∶ 1.8) and UV detection wavelength is at 354 nm. Results The linear range was 6.008 to 48.064 ? g/mL( r=0.999 9) for Circanetten New tablets and the average recovery of rutin was 100.3% (RSD=0.5 % , n=5) .Conclusion The method is simple and effective, and can be used to control the quality of Circanetten New tablets.

Objective:To study the role of APACHEⅡscore pre-operation to infusion of blood preparation during the periods of hepatectomy.Methods:The correlation between APACHEⅡscore pre-operation and infusion of erythrocyte suspension and plasma were analyzed retrospectively in 104 cases who suffered from hepatectomy.Results:Those whose APACHEⅡscore were less than 5 had significantly lower volume of bleeding and lower infusion of erythrocyte suspension and plasma during the operation than those whose APACHEⅡscore were not less than 5(P

0.05),the clinical control rate were 67.65% and 52.94% (P

Based on the data of the ISI "Journal Citation Report" in 2006 edition,a statistics for the 88 mi-crobiology science journals has been made. The results showed that these 88 learned journals were published in 16 countries with 3 languages,especially English. And the main countries were United States,England,Netherlands and Japan. The average data of articles and total cites of the 88 journals were 165 and 5226.64,respectively. Moreover,the average data of impact factor and immediacy factor were 3.154,0.45 and 5.84,respectively. Finally,fifty-five learned journals with impact factor over 2.0 were introduced from these jour-nals to be referenced.

Objective:To investigate the effect of brain tissue extract of hypoxia-preconditioned mice (BHP) on tolerance of NGF-induced differentiated PC12 cells to hypoxia and the optimal concentration for protective effect.Methods:The mice model of acute repetitive hypoxia was reproduced and BHP was prepared.BHP was added into the cultures of 4～5 day differentiated PC12 cells and the final protein concentrations of BHP were 1.0、10.0、100.0?g/ml(BHP groups) respectively.Brain tissue ex- tract of normal mice(BN) at the same three protein concentrations were used as controls(BN groups) and PBS solvent control groups were also prepared in which only PBS was added(PBS groups).Then differentiated PC12 cells were cultured in hypoxia (2%O_2).After 24,48,72 hours'hypoxia,colorimetric method(OD_(570nm)) of tetrazolium salt MTT staining was adopted to determine cell viability and lactate dehydrogenase(LDH) leakage assays were also conducted at the same time.Besides,apoptotic per- centages at late stage(72 hours' hypoxia) were detected.Results:After 24 hours' hypoxia,OD_(570nm) values of BHP groups with protein concentrations being 10.0、100.0?g/ml were significantly higher,but their LDH leakage percentages were significantly lower than those of BN groups with the same protein concentrations and of hypoxic PBS group.With hypoxia prolonging,BHP gradually lost the protective effect.At the time point of 72 hours' hypoxia,OD_(570nm) values of only BHP group at 100.0?g/ml protein concentration was significantly higher than that of the corresponding BN groups,its LDH leakage percentage and apop- totic percentage was significantly lower than those of the hypoxic PBS group.Conclusion:The effects of BHP on tolerance of differentiated PC12 cells to hypoxia depend on its concentrations and on its treating time.Besides,BHP at final concentration of 100.01?g/ml protein showed steady,prolonged protective effect.

Objective:To analyze and determine the main component in volatilization oil which is extracted from the Chinese herbal medicine Kaempferia galanga L.Methods:Volatilization oil is obtained by steam-distillation from commercial available Kaempferia galanga L..After re-crystallization,GC-MS,UV-Vis,NMR,IR were processed for analysis and structure determination.Results:The m/z=205 peak in MS represents the quasi-molecular ion peak.The strongest absorption peak at 304nm in UV-Vis shows that there is big conjugated system in the molecule.Along with the data of chemical shifts and coupling constants of 1H-NMR,13C-NMR and wave numbers of IR absorption peaks,the main ingredient of Kaempferia galanga L.volatilization oil is verified as ethyl 3-(4-methoxyphenyl)-(E)-acrylate.Conclusion:We have employed advanced methods in separation and analysis in the determination of structure of the main ingredient in volatilization oil extracted from Kaempferia galanga L.and get detailed data to support the results,the methods are reliable and the results are dependable.
