International Journal of Pediatrics 2014;(4):365-368
Streptococcus pneumoniae( SP) is the leading pathogenic bacteria of invasive bacterial infec-tions in children. It can cause some life-threatening diseases such as pneumonia,meningitis and sepsis. Strepto-coccus pneumoniae frequently colonizes the upper respiratory tract. It is essential to know the host immune re-sponse during the infection. This paper reviews antigenic structure of SP,pneumococcal conjugate vaccine and pneumococcal virulence factors,especially focuses on the immune response including the effect of innate immu-nity,macrophage,neutrophil and T-cell.
3.Diagnosis and Treatment of Parkinson's Disease Following Depression(review)
Chinese Journal of Rehabilitation Theory and Practice 2009;15(6):545-547
Depression is a common comorbid condition in Parkinson's disease (PD) and a major contributor to poor quality of life and disability. However, depression can be difficult to assess in patients with PD due to overlapping symptoms and difficulties in the assessment of depression in cognitively impaired patients, several rating scales have been used to assess depression in PD. Tricyclic and new selective antidepressants including serotonin and noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors, selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, selective noradrenaline reuptake inhibitors appear to be effective in treating depression in PD. Clinical investigation indicate antidepressive effects in PD.

Objective To improve the method of abdominal transplantation of hepatocytes. Methods The rat hepatic cells were embedded in collagen gel and cultured in vitro. The total protein (TP) and BUN levels in the nutrient solution were measured. The mixture of collagen nutrient solution and the hepatocytes was injected into abdominal cavity of rat recipients and then turned to gel there, so the hepatocytes were embedded in the gel. The hepatocytes in the abdominal cavity were rinsed out by the nutrient solution containing collagenase and were cultured in vitro in the nutrient solution without glucose (Glu). The Glu levels in the nutrient solution were measured. The control groups underwent the same process as the experimental groups except collagen. Results The TP, BUN and Glu levels in the experimental groups (hepatocytes embedded in collagen gel) were significantly higher than those in the control groups ( P

In this paper, the effect of 5% (V/V) n-alkanes (e.g, n-Heptane, n-Octane, n-Decane, n-Dodecanen-Tetradecane and n-Hexadecane) on the growth and protease production of organic-solvent-tolerant- bacte-rium Bacillus licheniformis YP1 was studied. 5%(V/V) n-alkanes had no effect on the stability of YP1 prote-ase. 5% (V/V) n-alkanes had no notable influence on the yield of strain YP1 but dramatically affected theprotease production. The presence of n-Heptane, n-Octane and n-Decane deeply repressed the protease pro-duction; however n-Dodecane, n-Tetradecane and n-Hexadecane enhanced the protease production promi-nencely. The concentration of n-Tetradecane (1%-8%, V/V) had a direct ration with the protease production.The detailed experiments showed that the notable increase of protease activity appeared at the late logarithmof cultivation compared with the blank. The cell shape of YP1 strain remarkably decreased when grown inthe presence of n-Tetradecane. This is the first report about the effect of n-alkanes on the protease productionby the solvent tolerant bacterium.
