Objective To investigate the effect of breast milk and some other kinds of infant foods on the adhesion of EPEC to Hela cells and intestinal mucosa so as to understand the possible protective mechanism of breast-feeding in the intestine of infants. Methods The adhesion of EPEC to Hela cells and intestinal mucosa were examined by cell culture, bacterial adherence test, light and electron microscopy in the mediums that contain breast milk, cow's milk and formula milk or contain ecal filtrate of the infants fed by breast milk and formula milk respectively. Results Adhesive index for EPEC to Hela cells was significantly lower in the medium containing breast milk than in control and so did in the fecal medium containing breast fed infants than artificial feeding infants. Conclusion Breast milk may inhibit the adhesion of EPEC to infant intestine.

Objective To explore the significance of the changes of vaginal lactobacilli in normal pregnant women and those with bacterial vaginosis(BV). Methods A total of 309 pregnant women, including 50 pregnant women with bacterial vaginosis, were randomly selected. Lactobacilli isolated from the vaginas of pregnant women were identified by biochemical methods. The distribution of lactobacilli in the vaginas of pregnant women was observed. The ability to produce H 2O 2 and decrease the culture environment PH among four common lactobacilli in the vaginas of pregnant women was also compared. Results The detectable rate of lactobacilli in vaginas of the normal pregnant women was obviously higher than that of women with bacterial vaginosis. The predominant lactobacilli colonizing in the vaginas of the normal pregnant women were L. crispatus and L. acidophilus , most of which could produce H 2O 2. The frequency of H 2O 2 positive isolation in the vaginas of pregnant women was significantly higher than that of BV. Conclusion The study indicates that H 2O 2 positive lactobacilli plays an important role in the protection against vaginal infections in pregnant women.

Objective To study the expression of nuclear factor-?Bp65 (NF-?Bp65) in gastric carcinoma and its relationship with vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF). Methods The expression of NF-?Bp65 and VEGF in 56 gastric carcinomas was detected with immunohistochemistry and compared with benign tissues. Results The positive rates of NF-?Bp65 and VEGF in 56 gastric carcinomas were 62.5% and 76.8% respectively,and which were higher than those of gastric mucosal atypical hyperplasia (33.3% and 44.4%) and the normal gastric mucosa(0 and 8.3%) (P0.05). There was positive correlation between NF-?Bp65 and VEGF expression (r=0.36,P

Objective:To study the regularity and characteristics of adverse drug reaction ( ADR) in our hospital. Methods: A retrospective analysis was conducted on 306 ADR reports collected in our hospital in 2013. The reports were statistically analyzed in re-spect of sex, age, route of drug administration, drug categories, organs/systems involved in ADR and clinical manifestations, classifi-cation of ADR, causality assessment, constituent ratio of the reporters etc. Results:In the 306 ADR reports, the incidence of ADR be-tween the age of 51 and 60 was the highest (20. 26%); the ratio of the ADR induced by intravenously drip administration was the highest in respect of the route of administrations (65. 58%);the radio of ADR induced by antibacterial agents was the highest in re-spect of drug types (20. 78%);digestive system was the maln lesion in ADR cases (23. 91%). The ADR cases were mostly reported by doctors (97. 71%). Conclusion:Our hospital should enhance the ADR monitoring and reporting, promote the clinical rational drug use, reduce or avoid the risk of ADR and protect medication safety of patients.

AIMTo investigate membrane electro-physiological features in vestibular ganglion neuronal population using a voltage-sensitive dye and optical recording technique.
METHODSDissociated and cultured mouse vestibular ganglion neurons were stained with an absorption voltage-sensitive dye, RH 155, and were imaged in 16 x 16 elements Photodiode arrays (PDA) optical recording system.
RESULTSWhen the cells were depolarized during perfusion with 150 mmol/L potassium solution, optical absorption of the dye that bound to the external surface of neuron membranes increased. The relative ratio (delta I/I) of optical absorption change was 0.23% +/- 0.08% (x +/- s, n = 28). These optical responses were wavelength dependent. Under our experimental conditions, photo toxicity and pharmacological effects of the dye were either absent or insignificant.
CONCLUSIONOur results suggest that optical recording provides a new, practical and less toxic method to simultaneously monitor changes in membrane potential from several cultured vestibular ganglion cells.

On account of the dense cuticles of the fresh stem and the light, hard and pliable texture of the dried stem, Dendrobii Caulis is difficult to dry or pulverize. So, it is very important to the ancient doctors that Dendrobii Caulis should be properly treated and applied to keep or evoke its medicinal effects. The current textual research results about the preliminary processing, processing and usage methods of Dendrobii Caulis showed that: (1) In history the clinical use of fresh or processed Dendrobii Caulis as teas and tinctures were very common. (2) Its roots and rhizomes would be removed before using. (3) Some ancillary approaches were applied to shorten drying times, such as rinsing with boiling mulberry-ash soup, washing or soaking with liquor, mixing with rice pulp and then basking, etc. (4) According to the ancients knowledge, the sufficient pulverization, by means of slicing, rasping, hitting or pestling techniques, was necessary for Dendrobii Caulis to take its effects. (5) The heat processing methods for Dendrobii Caulis included stir-baking, stir-frying, steaming, decocting and stewing techniques, usually with liquor as an auxiliary material. Among above mentioned, steaming by pretreating with liquor was most commonly used, and this scheme was colorfully drawn in Bu Yi Lei Gong Pao Zhi Bian Lan (Ming Dynasty, 1591 CE) ; moreover, decocting in advance or long-time simmering so as to prepare paste products were recommended in the Qing Dynasty. (6) Some different processing programs involving stir-baking with grit, air-tightly baking with ondol (Kangs), fumigating with sulfur, which appeared in modern times and brought attractive outward appearance of the drug, went against ancients original intentions of ensuring drug efficacy.

OBJECTIVETo prepare zinc-modified carbonated hydroxyapatite (Zn-CHA) coating material via sol-gel method and explore the influence of zinc substitution on physical and chemical properties of biomaterial samples.
METHODSTwo kinds of samples with different zinc content and Ca/P molar ratio were prepared. One was fabricated with 4% zinc and the Ca/P molar ratio was 1.67. Another was prepared with 8% zinc and the (Ca+Zn)/P molar ratio was 1.67. The coating samples were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Fourier transformed infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Furthermore, the zinc ions releasing ability of the coating samples were investigated by atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS).
RESULTSXRD results revealed that the coating samples contained hydroxyapatite phase. After determination by FTIR, the biomaterial samples were found to contain carbonate and resemble biological apatites. High homogeneous and porous surfaces of coating samples were observed in SEM micrographs. According to the results of dissolution test, zinc was incorporated into hydroxyapatite lattice structure or surface absorbed when calcium was insufficient or sufficient respectively.
CONCLUSIONThe results demonstrate that phase-pure zinc-modified carbonated hydroxyapatite might be prepared through simple sol-gel method and have favorable antibacterial effect.
