Objective To understand the traffic pollution in main crossroads of Changsha. Methods The levels of noise, NO 2, O 3 and TSP and traffic volumn were monitored in 6 main crossroads of Changsha in situ, 3 times per day, continuously for 5 days. Results The traffic volumns were 1 203～3 715/h, the noise levels were 69～88 dB(A), the levels of NO 2, O 3 and TSP in air of 6 main crossroads were 0.092～0.238 mg/m 3, 0.238～0.303 mg/m 3 and 0.71～1.47 mg/m 3 respectively. The over standard rates were 93%～100% for O 3 with a average rate of 98%. Conclusion The traffic pollution in main crossroads of Changsha mainly induced by noise and O 3, which might be associated with the traffic volumn, the environment around the crossroads and the types of the automobile running in the crossroads.

Intracerebral hemorrhage is a neurological emergency with high disability and mortality. Studies have demonstrated that thrombin formation,erythrocytolysis and iron ions play important roles in the brain injury after intracerebral hemorrhage. This article reviews the mechanisms of thrombin and iron ions in intracerebral hemorrhage-mediated brain injury.

Objective To establish a simple, efficient and low-cost method for the detection of Salmonella typhimurium carrying SSeC gene. Methods In this study, a nano-biosensor ( FAM-P/GO) was successfully established based on the noncovalent assembly of carboxy-fluorescein ( FAM)-labeled probe and graphene oxide ( GO) . The target gene at different concentrations and SSeC gene-harbored bacterium sam-ples were detected by the FAM-P/GO nano-biosensor to evaluate its sensitivity. The specificity of the estab-lished nano-biosensor was evaluated by using DNAs with mismatched base pairs and single-stranded DNAs ( ssDNAs) extracted from various species. Results The established strategy for SSeC gene detection showed a good linear range of 0. 05-1. 0 μmol/L (R2=0. 992 1) with a lower limit of 0. 05 μmol/L. Moreover, the lower detection limit for target bacterium samples was 103 CFU/ml and the fluorescence intensity increased linearly with the concentration from 103 CFU/ml to 108 CFU/ml. The signal-to-noise ( S/N) of the experi-mental group was much greater than that of the control group, which indicated that the establish method was highly specific. Conclusion The FAM-P/GO nano-biosensor was successfully established in this study, which provided a new and possible way for the rapid detection of Salmonella typhimurium harboring SSeC gene.

OBJECTIVE To study the effects of levofloxacin on QT correction dispersion(QTcd) interval in elderly patients hospitalized with acute exacerbations of COPD(AECOPD).METHODS Totally 124 patients received IV levofloxacin(500 mg qd) for 10-14 days.Evaluations included of 12-lead ECGs at baseline and blood examination before treatment,day 5 and after treatment.RESULTS QT correction(QTc) interval was no significant changes,but the QTcd interval was with significant prolongation.CONCLUSIONS IV levofloxacin could not cause QTc interval prolongation,but could make QTcd interval prolongation,which is a potential risk of arrhythmia in elderly patients with AECOPD.

Objective To investigate the effects and possible mechanisms of ursolic acid (UA) on inhibiting proliferation of human esophageal carcinoma cell Eca-109 and inducing its apoptosis. Methods Cell proliferation was determined by MTT assay. Electron microscope was used to observe the ultrastructural changes of Eca-l09 induced by UA. Cell cycle and apoptotic rate were analyzed by flow cytometry (FCM),and the expression of P27kip1,Bcl-2 and Bax were detected by Western blot method. Results UA could significantly inhibit the growth of Eca-109 cells(P

Objective To study the effects of panax notoginseng saponins (PNS)on rat superficial renal medulla cells after femoral fracture and to discuss the protective role of PNS in renal injury after fracture. Methods We divided 102 Wistar rats randomly into simple fracture group (n =36),fracture and medication group (n =36)and normal control group (n =30).In the former two groups 6 rats were respectively executed at 1,6,12, 24,36,48 h after fracture modeling,while 5 rats in normal control group were executed at the corresponding time points.Regular HE staining was used to observe pathological changes and TUNEL was used for apoptotic cells.And immunohistochemistry and in situ hybridization were used to detect the expressions of Bcl-2 and Bax in superficial renal medulla tissues.Results In simple fracture group,mild granular degeneration could be seen in renal tubular epithelial cells of superficial renal medulla and the interstitial small vessels were slightly expanded and congested. Compared with simple fracture group,the lesions were slighter in fracture and medication group.In simple fracture group,Bcl-2 and Bcl-2 mRNA expressions were significantly higher than those in normal control group at 1 -36 h (P <0.01).Bax expression was higher than that in normal control group at 12-36 h (P <0.01),and Bax mRNA expression was higher than that in normal control group after 6 h after fracture (P < 0.01 ).In fracture and medication group,Bcl-2 expression was obviously higher than that in simple fracture group at 1 h (P <0.01),and Bcl-2 mRNA expression was higher than that in simple fracture group at 1 -48 h (P <0.01).Bax and Bax mRNA expressions were both lower than those in simple fracture group at 1 - 48 h (P < 0.01 ).Conclusion Fracture trauma has significant influences on protein expression and mRNA transcription of Bcl-2 and Bax in superficial renal medulla.PNS can upregulate anti-apoptosis gene Bcl-2 and downregulate pro-apoptosis gene Bax,thus playing the role of inhibiting tissue cell apoptosis.

Objective To investigate efficiency and distribution of gene delivery to the injured tendons by microinjeetion and tissue reactions caused by different vectors. Methods By using a mi-croinjection technique, 10μl of pCMV-EGFP, pCAGGS-EGFP, AAV2-EGFP and Ad5-EGFP harboring enhanced green fluorescence protein (EGFP) gene were respectively injected to two sites of the proximal stump of 48 transected digital flexor tendons in 18 chickens. At days 3, 7, 14 and 21, the tendons wereharvested for observing distribution and expression of EGFP under a fluorescence microscope by using fro-zen tissue sections. The tendon sections were also stained with hematoxylin and eosin to examine inflam-mation caused by these vectors. The other 24 normal flexor tendons were served as controls. ResultsCompared with normal tendon tissues, the EGFP expression was observed in tendons at days 3, 7, 14 and21 after injection. The EGFP expression was observed at day 3 and reached peak at day 7 for all vectors.The EGFP expression was decreased at day 14 but seldom seen at day 21. EGFP was distributed evenly inthe injected tendon segment adjacent to the cut level. The EGFP expression in the tendons injected withAAV2-EGFP and Ad5-EGFP was higher than that with pCMV-EGFP and pCAGGS-EGFP injection, withinsignificant statistical difference upon the EGFP expression between AAV2-EGFP and Ads-EGFP vec-tors. Tissue reactions of the tendons caused by the liposome-plasmid vector ( including pCMV-EGFP and pCAGGS-EGFP) were the most prominent among all vectors. Infiltration of inflammatory cells, chiefly lymphocytes and neutrophilic granulocytes, were found. The tendons injected with AAV2 vectors presen-ted gentle inflammatory reactions. Conclusions Mieroinjection to two sites of each tendon stump deliv-ers the transgene to the entire tendon segment adjacent to the cut. Gene delivery by the AAV2 and Ad5 vectors has the highest cfficiency among four vectors tested, when expression level peaks at day 7 after in-jection and AAV2 vector causes the slightest tissue reactions in the tendons, indicating that the AAV2 vector is a promising gene delivery vector and microinjection is practical for tendon gene therapy.

OBJECTIVE: To observe the effects of Ginkgolides inhalation on eosinophils infiltration in airway of asthmatic guinea pig model. METHODS: Guinea pigs were divided into seven groups(n=8 in each group): model group, ginkgolides inhalation low, medium and high dosage groups(5, 10, 20mg?kg-1, respectively), ginkgolides ip group (at a dosage of 20 mg?kg-1), Dexamethasone ip group (at a dosage of 10 mg?kg-1), normal control group. The eosinophils (EOS) in bronchoalveolar lavage fluid (BALF) and trachea were counted. RESULTS: As compared with normal control group, the number of EOS in BALF was significantly increased in model group, but that in BALF and trachea of the Ginkgolides inhalation group was significantly reduced(P
