Object To determine the diumal changes of photosynthesis, its relationships with light intensities and temperatures, and the contents of chloroophyll in leaves of Dendrobium candidum Wall. ex. Lindl., D. wilsonii Rolfe and D. hercoglossum Reichb. f. Methods The net photosynthetic rate (NPR) was measured at intervals of 1.5 h during daytimes 7:30—16:30, under the photosynthetic affective rates 0—140 mmol/(m 2?s), and under the temperatures 29.6—38.2 ℃; contents of chlorophyll a and b in leaves were measured. Results NPR, light saturation point and compensation point were low in each of the three Dendrobium L. species. The NPR peaked during 8:00 and 10:00 am, and thereafter decreased rapidly as the temperature and light intensity increased. Content of chlorophyll b was high in the leaves. Conclusion These results indicated that the Dendrobium L. species, which are sciophyte plants, have great adaptations to their growing habitats.

Objective To compare the effects and complications of lumboperitoneal shunt ( LP ) and ventriculoperitoneal shunt ( VP ) in the treatment of post?traumatic hydrocephalus. Methods Eighty patients with post?traumatic hydrocephalus treated in the neurosurgery department of Zhangjiagang Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine from March 2014 to March 2010 were retrospectively analyzed. The patients were randomly divided into two groups,40 patients treated with LP were assigned into the LP group and 40 patients undergone VP treatment were seen as the VP group. All patients were followed up for 1 year to investigate and compare the symptom improvement rate,neurological deficit score and the incidence of complication of the two groups. Results The total effective rate of hydrocephalus disappearance in the LP group was 41. 50% ( 37/40) and 87. 50%( 35/40) in the VP group. The difference between the two groups was not statistically significant (χ2=0. 556,P=0. 456);the neurological deficit scores before treatment in the LP group and VP group were (28. 35±8. 64) points and (29. 13±7. 98) points,there was no significant difference between the two groups (t=0. 419,P=0. 676) . The difference in the scores of neurological deficit after treatment in the LP and VP group was not statistically significant ( (19. 32±5. 34) points vs. (21. 62±4. 86) points,t=1. 480,P=0. 143),the average scores of neurological deficits in the two groups were significantly better than those before treatment ( t=5. 623, 5. 084,P<0. 001 ) . There was no significant difference in the average score of improvement of urinary incontinence between the two groups before and after treatment ( t=0. 376,1. 265,P>0. 05) ,the average score of urinary incontinence improvement after treatment in both groups were better than those before treatment ( t=4. 891,5. 370,P<0. 001) . In the LP group,the incidence of bleeding,infection,shunt related complications and shunt abnormality were all 2. 50% ( 1/40 ) , the overall complication rate was 10. 00%, the incidence of bleeding,infection,shunt related complications and shunt abnormality in the VP group were 7. 50% (3/40), 10% ( 4/40 ) , 5% ( 2/40 ) 10%, ( 4/40 ) , the overall complication rate was 32. 50%, there was significant difference between the two groups (χ2=6. 050,P=0. 014) . Conclusion LP and VP have significant curative effect on the treatment of post?traumatic hydrocephalus,but the overall incidence of LP complication after 1 year is significantly lower than that of VP,and is worth popularizing widely in clinical practice

Objective To compare the proteome difference between multiple myeloma cell line U266 cells treated and untreated with PS-341, to investigate the potential drug targets, and to provide theoretical evidence for clinical therapy of multiple myeloma. Methods Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) was performed to separate proteins from treated and untreated U266 cells with proteasome inhibitor PS-341. ImageMaster 2D Platinum software was used to analyze 2-DE image, and matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization time of flight mass spectrometry (MALDI-TOF-MS) was used to identify the differentially expressed proteins. The expression levels of differential protein BAG-2 in the 2 groups of U266 cells lines were detected by Western blot. Results The 2-DE reference pattern of treated and untreated U266 cells with PS-341 was established. A total of 31 differential proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF-MS, 27 of which were down-regulated after PS-341 treatment. The differential expression level of BAG-2 in the 2 groups of U266 cells was confirmed by Western blot. Conclusion Some down-regulated proteins may be the potential drug targets of proteasome inhibitor PS-341.

Objective To label Flk-1+CD31-CD34-human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) with superparamagnetic iron oxide (SPIO) and to evaluate the effect of SPIO on proliferation and neural differentiation of labeled cells. Methods hMSCs were incubated with SPIO (50 mg/L) and PLL (1.5 mg/L) overnight(12～18 hours). Both labeled and unlabeled cells went through growth curve test,Trypan blue staining and flow cytometer to evaluate the effects of SPIO on cell proliferation,cell viability and surface markers. Immunofluorescence assay was conducted for neuron and neuroglia specific cell surface markers after neural induction protocols were used. Results Cell viability of the two groups were both more than 90% for 7 days. There was no significant difference in cell viability and growth curve test between two groups. The results of flow cytometer showed that both labeled and unlabeled cells expressed CD44, CD105 and Flk-1 markers, while CD31 and CD34 were negative. After neural induction, the statistical analysis of A value for all the markers showed no significant difference between the two groups.Conclusion SPIO, as MRI cellular contrast, is safe and efficient.

Objective To characterize the vascular cognitive impairment of stroke patients with different injury sites (right or left cerebral hemisphere) and pathological type (hemorrhage or infarct). Methods A total of 119 stroke patients were assessed with regard to their cognitive functions using the LOTCA within one week of admis-sion, and comparison was made among patients in terms of VCI characteristics, injury site, and pathological type. Results In patients with left hemisphere injury, there found no significant difference between those with cerebral in-farct and hemorrhage with regard to the total score of LOTCA, but the score of perception of those with hemorrhage was lower than those with infarct(P<0.05). in patients with right hemisphere injury, both total score of LOTCA and the subscore were not significantly different between those with infarct and hemorrhage(P>0.05). In patients with infarct in left hemisphere, the total score of LOTCA was lower than those with infarct in right hemisphere(P<0.05), but the scores of orientation and thinking operation were lower than those with infarct in right hemisphere(P<0.001 or <0.01). In patients with hemorrhage in the left hemisphere, the total score of LOTCA was not significantly different from those with hemorrhage in right hemisphere, but the scores of orientation and perception were lower than thosewith hemorrhage in right hemisphere(P<0.001 or <0.01). Conclusions More attention with regard to perception training should be paid to those with cerebral hemmorhage than those with cerebral infarct. In patients with cerebral infarct, more attention with regard to orientation and thinking operation training should be paid to those with infarct in left side, while for those with cerebral hemorrhage, more attention with regard to orientation and perception training should be paid to the left hemisphere insult.

Objective To analyze the clinical presentation of functional dyspepsia in Chinese ado lescents.Methods A stratified,randomized study by cluster sampling was employed,which recruited 51 956 students from high and primary schools in six provinces and two cities.All students were requested to fill in a questionnaire.Functional dyspepsia was diagnosed according to Rome Ⅱ criteria.Results Among 51 956 students,10 174 were diagnosed as functional dyspepsia(accounted for 19.58%).Heart burn,hiccup and air swallowing to terminate hiccup were major symptoms of functional dyspepsia.The upper abdominal distention,epigastric pain,anorexia and insomnia were common in boys than girls with no significance(P＞0.05).The belching,early satiety,fatigue and anxiety were significantly higher in girls than boys.Conclusions Functional dyspepsia is a common disorder among the adolescents.Educa-tion and psychotherapy are important in the treatment of students with functional dyspepsia.

AIM: To investigate the effect of ischemic preconditioning (IP) on myocardial Bcl-2 expression and mitochondrial structure during heart valve replacement surgery under cardiopulmonary bypass. METHODS: Fifty-four patients were prospectively randomized to receive or not ischemic preconditioning (IP) before cold cardioplegic arrest. Ischemic preconditioning in the IP patients (n=22) was induced by a single 2-min ischemia followed by 3-min reperfusion just before aortic clamping and cold crystalloid cardioplegia for myocardial protection. The control group (n=32) received no ischemic preconditioning before cold cardioplegic arrest. The levels of ejection fraction (EF), fractional shortening(FS) and stroke volume (SV) in both groups were measured and compared. troponin T (c-TnT) level, Bcl-2 protein expression and microscopic changes of myocardial mitochondrial structure were recorded for each group before and after surgery. RESULTS: The level of EF, FS and SV in IP group was higher than those in control group (P<0.05). No significant difference in preoperative c-TnT levels between two groups was observed. The level of c-TnT in IP group was lower than that in control group and with a declining trend over time of 6 h, 24 h, 48 h, 72 h and 5 d after surgery, respectively. The preoperative positive unit of Bcl-2 expression between two groups showed no statistical difference (P> 0.05). Postoperatively, the positive unit of Bcl-2 expression in IP group was 19.85±5.88, significantly increased as compared to the preoperative value (P<0.05). In control group, the positive unit of Bcl-2 expression was 14.17±3.39, showed no statistically significant difference to the preoperative value (P>0.05). Postoperative Bcl-2 expression between two groups showed a significant difference (P<0.05). In the control group, microscopic observation revealed swollen mitochondrion, with a hardly visible or disrupted membrane for some mitochondrion;mitochondrial crista were obviously dissolved and loose with a large number of vacuoles formation. However in IP group, myocardial mitochondrion appeared with intact membrane, concentrated mitochondrial cristae with high electron density and no vacuoles formation was observed. CONCLUSION: IP may up-regulate the expression of myocardial anti-apoptotic protein Bcl-2 to protect the mitochondrion, thus protecting cardiocytes and cardiac functions.
