The optimum conditions of baicalin hydrolysis into baicalein by immobilized beta-glucosidase in a two-phase system was studied and the yield was observed. A two-phase system comprising of sodium acetate buffer and chloroform was determined by comparing the solubleness of baicalein in different solvents and partition coefficient of baicalein in related aqueous-organic two-phase system. beta-Glucosidase was immobilized by the crosslinking-embedding method using sodium alginate as the carrier The optimum reaction temperature, pH value, Michaelis constant, the thermal stability and pH stability were assayed. By comparing the yield of baicalin hydrolysis into baicalein by immobilized beta-glucosidase in two-phase system, the optimum reaction conditions were determined-the optimum reaction temperature, pH value and time were 50 degrees C, 5.0 and 10 h, respectively. The yield of baicalein was 85.28%. Compare with one-phase system, two-phase system had an advantage in reaction rate and yield.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the optimal extraction process of polysaccharides from S. fusiforme by enzymatic treatment.

METHODThe optimum extraction conditions were obtained by the experiment with the orthogonal design. The content of polysaccharides of S. fusiforme was determined by spectraphotometry.

RESULTThe amount of enzyme and temperature significantly affected total polysaccharides of S. fusiforme.

CONCLUSIONThe optimum extraction conditions include the addition of 1. 2 x 10 (4) U x 100 g(-1) enzyme into water at pH 4. 5, and the subsequent treatment for 10 min while the temperature is maintained at 45 degrees C.

Objective To study the correlation between the deformation and displacement trend of the lumbosacral vertebra (L1-S1) for two typical scoliosis spines under vertical loads,so as to provide the mechanical basis of treatment and prevention of scoliosis in clinic.Methods The X-ray computed tomography (CT) images of two typical scoliosis spines (Lenke-4AN type and Lenke-5CN type) were converted into 3D models,and their finite element models were then established and verified.The internal stress distribution and displacement variation of the models were calculated by the finite element software;the correlation between the lumbosacral vertebral structure and displacement of the spine was analyzed.Results Under the same boundary conditions and load cases,the stress and displacement for two kinds of lumbosacral vertebral models showed different trends.Due to its leftleaning and forward convex bending deformation as well as the relatively large lordosis angle (60°) and smaller left-leaning angle (17.37°),the Lenke-4AN type lumbosacral spine produced slightly small forward convex displacement (8.18 mm) and relatively large left-leaning displacement (0.97 mm).The Lenke-5CN type lumbosacral spine showed left-leaning and forward convex bending deformation as well,with relatively large lordosis angle(59°) and left-leaning angle (26.97°),so it produced more severe left-leaning displacement (20.65 mm) andforward convex displacement (9.22 mm).Conclusions The deformation trend of lumbosacral vertebra is closelyrelated to its structural characteristics,and different scoliosis lumbosacral vertebral structures will cause the corre-sponding deformation trend.The research findings are important for the prevention and treatment of scoliosis.

Objective To assess the clinical value of endoscopic uhrasonography(EUS)combined with the mini-probe endoscopic uhrasonography(MPUS)in determing tumor invasion depth and lymph node metastases of early superficial esophageal cancer.Methods One hundred and twenty-four superficial esophageal cancer lesions of 121 patients were staged by EUS combined with MPUS,and the results were finally compared with pathological findings of surgical specimens or samples obtained by mucosal resection.Results The diagnostic accuracy of EUS in T staging of superficial esophageal cancer was 82.3%(102/124).The total ratio of lymph node metastases was 5.0%(6/121),with no node metastases in carcinoma in situ,1.3%(1/28)in mucosal carcinoma,11.6%(5/43)in submucosal carcinoma.Conclusion EUS combined with MPUS is accurate in staging of the superficial carcinoma,which can help the choice of therapeutic strategies.

OBJECTIVETo explore toxicokinetics of tetramethylene disulphotetramine (TETS) in rabbit and the effects on toxicokinetics of TETS after activated charcoal by gavage.

METHODSEight rabbits were exposed through gavage and vein respectively, the blood samples were collected from the center artery in ear of rabbit at an arranged time. Four rabbits were exposed after being intubated into urethra and common bile duct. The samples of bile and urine were collected at arranged times. After being exposed by gavage, activated charcoal (1 g/kg) was administrated in the activated charcoal group and the distilled water (1 g/kg) administrated to the controls. The samples of blood were collected from the center artery in ear of rabbit at arranged times. The contents of TETS in samples were determined by GC/NPD method. Analysed by the 3p87 soft, toxicokinetics parameters of TETS were acquired.

RESULTSTETS was eliminated very slowly in rabbit. The plasma half time in elimination phase (Tke1/2) of TETS was 56.9 hours in vein exposure group and 262.5 hours in oral exposure group respectively. The plasma clearance (CL) of it was only 15.4 ml.kg(-1).h(-1) in oral exposure group and 24.1 ml.kg(-1).h(-1) in vein exposure group. TETS was eliminated from urine in rabbit. The eliminated amount of it from urine was more 5 times than from bile. All parameters of toxicokinetics of TETS were significantly different between the activated charcoal group and the control. Compared to the control, Tke1/2 of TETS in the activated charcoal group was equal to 55%, CL was increased over 3-fold, area under the curve was equal to 30%.

CONCLUSIONTETS was a poison eliminated very slowly in body. The eliminated amount of it from urine was more than from bile. The excretion of TETS could be quickened after activated charcoal by gavage.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of rat Schwann cell secretion on the proliferation and differentiation of human embryonic neural stem cells (NSCs).

METHODSThe samples were divided into three groups. In Group One, NSCs were cultured in DMED/F12 in which Schwann cells had grown for one day. In Group Two, NSCs and Schwann cells were co-cultured. In Group Three, NSCs were cultured in DMEM/F12. The morphology of NSCs was checked and beta-tubulin, GalC, hoechst 33342 and GFAP labellings were detected.

RESULTSIn Group One, all neural spheres were attached to the bottom and differentiated. The majority of them were beta-tubulin positive while a few of cells were GFAP or GalC positive. In Group Two, neural spheres remained undifferentiated and their proliferation was inhibited in places where Schwann cells were robust. In places where there were few Schwann cells, NSCs performed in a similar manner as in Group One. In Group Three, the cell growth state deteriorated day after day. On the 7th day, most NSCs died.

CONCLUSIONThe secretion of rat Schwann cells has a growth supportive and differentiation-inducing effect on human NSCs.
