Object In order to identify the resources of official and unofficial plants in Rheum L.at molecular level, a random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) analysis was performed. Methods The amplification program of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) was optimized. Arbitrary decamer primers of 121 based on the individual selecting method, and 64 based on the BSA method were screened. Results Four primers among all screened primers were found to be useful to amplify specific strips to the official plants of Rheum L. Conclusion This method is reliable, accurate, quick and reproducible for authenticating the official and unofficial plants of Rheum L. at molecular level. Moreover, the experiment results indicate that it is more effective to screen the primers using BSA method than using individual selecting method.

Objective By using 18F-deoxyglucose (18F-FDG) positron emission computed tomography (PET-CT) to measure the brain glucose metabolism of patients with severe traumatic brain injury before and after hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) therapy,and to investigate the mechanisms of H BO treating patients with traumatic brain injury.Methods Twenty-six patients suffered form severe traumatic brain injury with stable vital signs within 2 weeks were randomly divided into the HBO group and the control group.The patients of both groups received routine clinical interventions (including neuroprotection,dehydration,reducing intracranial pressure,anti-infection and other symptomatic treatments).Patients of the HBO group received the basic treatment combined with HBO therapy one tine per day for 7 days per week.In early stage and 4 weeks after treatment,all patients were examined with PET-CT scanning and Glasgow coma scale (GCS),disability rating scale (DRS) at the same time.Results There was standard uptake value (SUV) of significant difference between affected and unaffected brain areas in two groups before treatment(P＜0.01),but no significant difference between two groups (P＞0.05).After 4-week of treatment,SUV of affected and unaffected brain areas of two groups improved,the damaged area of HBO group improved obviously and the SUV was much better than before treatment and the control group (P＜0.0l).The GCS and DRS scores of HBO group were also significantly better than that of control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion The 18F-FDG PET-CT examination showed that HBO therapy can significantly improve glucose metabolism function of the brain damaged area,promote the brain functional recovery and awakening,and improve the prognosis in patients with severe traumatic brain injury.

Objective To evaluate the role of Restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) analysis in detection of the fragment of GEF1α/a gene which are both located at ct and a mating type loci in identification of species, varieties, genotypes and mating types of Cryptococcus neoformans species complex(Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii). Methods The GEF1α/a gene was selected from 20 genes which both located at α and a mating type loci for RFLP analysis, according to the requirements of sequence similarities and primer design in PCR-RFLP analysis. Primer pair was designed from the conserved regions of GEF1α/a genes of distinct genotypes and mating types of reference strains to amplify a fragment of GEF1α/a gene from Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcns gattii strains tested. Sequence alignment,restriction maps analysis, endonucleases selection and electrophoresis stimulation were conducted by using DNAMAN and Vector NTI software. EeoT14 Ⅰ and Hap Ⅱ endonucleases were selected for RFLP analysis of the GEF1α/a fragments amplified from 125 isolates of Cryptococcns neoformans and Cryptococcus gattii. Results An approximate 1 300 bp fragment was amplified from total 82 Cryptococcus neoformans and 43 Cryptoceccus gattii isolates. However, negative PCR results were found in the reference strains of Cryptococcus laurentii, Candida albicans, Candida tropicalis, Candida parapsilosis, Candida krnsei,Candida glabrata, Trichosporon asahii, Aspergillus fumigatns and Aspergillus flavus. RFLP analysis successfully identified the species, varieties, genotypes and mating types of total 125 isolates of Cryptococcus neoformans and Cryptococcns gattii tested in this study. Condusion PCR-RFLP analysis of the GEF1α/a fragment has the potential value in identification of species, varieties, genotypes and mating types of Cryptococeus neoformans species complex simultaneously and rapidly, and may be a useful tool in molecular epidemiological analysis.

Leucine zipper tumor suppressor 2 (LZTS2) is a novel tumor suppressor gene that has been increasingly recognized in recent years. Currently, many studies illustrate that LZTS2 gene, the important candidate tumor suppressor gene, is already involved in the inhibition of tumorigenesis and aberrant proliferation of tumor cells, and other functions of tumor cells. Information from these stud-ies can contribute to the formulation of new strategies for the treatment of tumors.

Objective To observe the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) on cerebral small vessel disease (CSVD) and on learning,memory and the expression of brain-derived neurotrophic factor (BDNF) and acetylcholine (Ach) in the cerebral cortex and hippocampus.Methods Sixty healthy,male Wistar rats were studied.Allograft thrombosis particles 48 to 74 μm in diameter were injected into the rats' external carotid arteries to create a CSVD model.The rats were then divided randomly into a hyperbaric oxygen group,a nimotop group and a control group.The hyperbaric oxygen group rats were given hyperbaric oxygen therapy 12 hours after the modeling.The nimotop group rats were given nimodipine by intragastric perfusion 12h after the modeling.The rats in the control group had no special intervention.At 7,14 and 28 days after the modeling,any changes in learning and memory were assessed with a Morris water maze test.Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) was used to detect the expression of BDNF in the cerebral cortex and of Ach in the hippocampus at 28 days.Results At both 14 and 28 days the average escape latency of the rats in the hyperbaric oxygen group was significantly shorter than those of the nimotop and control groups.The average platform crossing time had increased significantly more than in the nimotop and control groups.At both 14 and 28 days the escape latency and platform crossing times of the nimotop group were significantly better than in the control group.Ach content and BDNF content were significantly higher in the HBO group than in the nimotop and control groups.Conclusions Hyperbaric oxygen treatment can promote BDNF release in CSVD,which is helpful to protect and repair neural mitochondria,to maintain the cortex and hippocampal neurotransmitters on a stable level,and to improve learning and memory.Its effect is better than that of nimotop.

Literature of TCM contains abundant information of Chinese medicine. Traditional Chinese medicine information is characterized by its high degree of knowledge-intensive and complex inter-knowledge, so it is difficult to integrate and share knowledge. TheShanghanlun is one of the Chinese medical classics, and it includes the rules and methods of syndrome differentiation and treatment and it showed good effects in the clinical application. However, it is difficult to master for beginners. As a kind of knowledge organization tool, topic maps can flexibly define the relationship between knowledge, which realizes the visualization of knowledge network, and integrates and shares the distributed knowledge. This paper focused on the current situation of topic maps researches. The topic maps was used to organize the original content ofShanghanlun, construct the concept model of it and explore the specific application of topic maps technology in the field of traditional Chinese medicine.

A distributed simulation method of electric field based on the atrial defibrillation of the heart modeling and finite element solution is proposed in this study. In order to solve the problem that ordinary clinical trials could not measure the actual distribution of the defibrillation electric field in the heart accurately, this method provides a research tool for electrical defibrillation. A complete atrial anatomical structure in the heart model is used in the research, the finite element method is proceeded to solve; Three parameters: defibrillation threshold voltage, the high field strength rate and the defibrillation threshold energy are set to evaluate the effect of defibrillation. The heart electric field distributions of transvenous atrial defibrillation with different electrode locations or sizes are simulated. The simulation results and the reported results match fairly well, which initially verify the feasibility of this method.
