Naoxing oral preparation has ho formed to be effective for ischemic stroke by preliminary clin-ical trial. To find a safe, efficient and convenient preparation Naoxing nasal spray was developed. Theeffect of Naoxing nasal spray on increasing hypoxic toleance of brain cells and improving blood circulationwas confirmed in this experiment. Twenty-eight guinea Pigs were randomly allocated to 4 groups: Group A(Naoxing nasal spray),Group B (ninodipine injection intraperitoneally), GrouP C (ligushazine injectionintrqperitoneally) and Group D(distilled water for nasal spray). After the medication for 4 days, acutecerebral ischemia was produced by the occlusion of bilatelal caretid arteries for 45 minutes. Serum NO lev-el,superoxide dismutase(SOD), glutathione superoxidase (GSH--Px) and lipid peroxide (LPO) levelsin cerebral tissue were detected. Ultrastructure of right hippocampus was oberved.The results showedthat NO, SOD, GSH-Px level in Group A is significantly higher and LPO level is significantly lower thanthere in Group D(P0.05).The damage of neuron, gliocyte and capillary under electron microscope was less thanGroup D,the differences being not significant as compared with Group B and C. It is concluded that theeffect of Naoxing nasal splay is as ed as ninodipine and ligustazine injection.

Objective:To evaluate the impact of health education intervention on promoting rural residents to join new rural cooperative medical system(NCMS)and their intention of joining NCMS based on Health Belief Model in project areas in Henan and Jilin Provinces.Methods:Quasi-experiment study was used to evaluate intervention impact.Following the evidence-based approach,according to needs assessment,a half-year health education intervention was implemented among farmers in the experimental counties in Henan and Jilin Provinces respectively.A questionnaire survey was conducted among farmers in intervention and control counties before and after intervention,and intervention impact was evaluated by comparing the indicators' changes in intervention and control counties.Results:After health education intervention,the knowledge level of farmers in two intervention counties increased by 29.0% and 37.8% respectively,their scores of perceived threatens of health risk and perceived barriers of joining NCMS among the respondents were decreased.Meanwhile,their score of perceived benefit of joining NCMS were increased,and the rate of willingness to join NCMS increased remarkably in both intervention counties.Conclusion:Health education was effective and helpful in increasing farmer's knowledge,understanding and cognitive level of NCMS,and it should play an important role for the sustainable development of NCMS.

The study aims to characterize and compare interferon reference standards from 5 manufacturers. By testing molecular mass and trypsin-digested peptide mass mapping, the amino acid sequence was verified and post-translational modifications such as disulfide bond were identified. Results show that the molecular mass and amino acid sequence were consistent with theory; the disulfide bonds of 4 lots of interferon were Cys1-Cys98/Cys29-Cys138, 1 lot was Cys29-Cys139/Cys86-Cys99; N-terminal "+Met", acetyl N-terminal and Met oxidation were identified in part of the sample. UPLC-MS can be used to characterize and compare interferon reference standards from different manufacturers.

Plant bioreactor called mocular farming has enormous potential to produce recombinant protein infinitely. Products expressed in plants has nature physico-chemical property and bioactivity. Plant bioreactor could be an safe, economic and convenient production system which has been widely applied in industries and agriculture, especially in the life science and pharmaceutical industry. The application of recombinant transgenic plant in the production of vaccines, antibodies and pharmaceutical proteins has become a hot point in the plant genetic engineering both at home and broad. However, there are some limiting factors of application such as yield, downstream processing and so on. The advantages and research progress for the mocular farming of pharmaceutical proteins recent three years was discussed, focusing on the existing problems and new strategies in this area.

Objective To investigate the combination of color Doppler flow imaging (CDFI) and transcranial Doppler (TCD) in the assessment of the hemodynamic changes of vertebral artery occlusion disease and their clinical value. Methods A total of 101 patients with vertebral artery occlusion detected by the combination of CDFI and TCD and confirmed by DSA were enrolled from January 2005 to January 2009. Taking the result of digital subtraction angiography (DSA) as a golden standard, The differences between the different types of the side of vertebral artery occlusion and contralateral vertebral artery on the extra- and intracranial segments were compared and analyzed in peak systolic velocity (PSV), end diastolic velocity (EDV), resistive indices (RI), pulsatility index (PI), spectrum morphology, and hemodynamics. Results No blood flow signals were detected by CDFI and TCD in patients of complete occlusion of the vertebral artery; the weak blood flow signals were detected by CDFI in patients of the occlusion in the intracranial segment of the vertebral artery. 3he blood flow signals after the establishment of collateral circulation in patients of the segmental occlusion were detected in the extraeranial segment or intraeranial segment of the vertebral artery. The PSV on the occluded sides of the extraeranial segments were decreased more significantly than that on the unoccluded sides (27.39 ± 12.44 cm/s vs. 62.61 ± 13.22 cm/s, P = 0.000); RI was significantly higher than the unoccluded sides (0. 99 ± 0. 21 vs. 0. 62 ± 0.07, P = 0. 000). When a vertebral artery had the segmental occlusion and the collateral circulation was established, the PSV, EDV, and PI of the intracranial segment of the vertebral artery on the occluded sides were decreased more significantly than those on the unoccluded sides, PSV were 37. 81 ± 12.28 cm/s and 73.17±30. 99 cm/s, respectively (P =0. 000), EDV were 17.58 ± 7.10 cm/s and 29.31 ± 12.94 cm/s, respectively (P = 0. 000), PI were 0.84 ± 0.22 and 1.01 ±0. 18, respectively (P=0. 000). The compard DSA showed that the sites of vertebral artery occlusion were different, There was significant difference in the Doppler flow velocity spectrum between the CDFI and TCD. Conclusions PSV, EDV, RI, and PI are the hemodynamic parameters of accurately assessing vertebral artery occlusion, and the combination of CDFI and TCD has significant value for the hemodynamie changes of different types of vertebral artery occlusion and the clinical comprehensive assessment.

AIM: To analyze the clinical feature and treatment of endogenous endophthalmitis caused by liver abscess. METHODS: A total of 9 eyes (7 cases) with endogenous endophthalmitis caused by liver abscess in our hospital from 2005 to 2010 were analyzed retrospectively. Microorganism was cultivated with blood or vitreous in all patients.4 eyes were performed vitrectomy. 2 eyes were injected antibiotics in vitreous cavity. 3 eyes were only treated with antibiotics.RESULTS: Two cases (2 eyes) were diagnosed with endophthalmitis firstly, then found liver abscess; 4 eyes were with diabetes mellitus, and 1 eye with abnormal glucose tolerance. Cultivation of microorganism was positive in 6 eyes (67%), including Pneumonia cray-research, Candida albicans and Escherichia coli. 5 eyes had useful vision after treatment, 1 eye had light perception,3 eyes became blindness. CONCLUSION: As an ocular emergency, endogenous endophthalmitis caused by liver abscess can severely damage visual function. Timely consultation, early diagnosis, proper systemic and topical anti-infective and anti-inflammatory treatment are the most effective methods for controlling infection. Vitrectomy with intravitreal antibiotics plays an important role in preserving useful vision function in patients.
