Objective To study the variation of blood concentration of tetramine in human body with acute tetramine intoxication treated with three different protocols and the levels in human body after discharge from the hos-pital. Methods The blood concentration of tetramine was determined by gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). All 101 patients of acute tetramine intoxication were divided into 3 groups (routine comprehensive treat-ment group,hemoperfusion group,blood transfusion group) according to their blood concentration of tetramine and clinical symptoms. The patients were followed up to monitor the tetramine levels in a year. Results The level of tet-famine in blood was decreased from 33.0(1.7~115.0)μg/L to 18.0(0.3~47.6)μg/L in routine comprehensive treatment group. The total decrement was 45.5 %. The level was decreased from 108.0 (54.0~290.0)μg/L to 26.0 μg/L in hemoperfusion group. The total decrement was 75.9%. The decrement was 20.0%~45.0% after each he-moperfusion. The level was slightly high after 24 h of hemoperfusion. The total decrement in blood transfusion group was 33.5%~60.0%. The level was <0.3μg/L in all 25 out-patients 1 year after their intoxication. Conclusion Routine comprehensive treatment,hemoperfusion,blood transfusion are effective in the treatment of acute tetramine intoxication. The degradation of tetramine in human body is slow.

Objective To prepared the docetaxel nano liposome (L-DOC) for the therapy of liver cancer HepG2 cells in vitro and in vivo. Methods The film-ultrasonic dispersion method was used to prepare the L-DOC.The diameter and Zeta potential of L-DOC were determined by Nanosizer and the encapsulation efficiency was further measured.CCK-8 method was used to determine the cell viability of HepG2 cell after treating with various concentration of DOC and L-DOC respectively and the cell death type was detected by Flow cytometer.Next, we have studied the relative tumor volume change of tumor-bearing mice and the toxicity in vivo.Results The average diameter of L-DOC was 104 nm and the Zeta potential was about -35.1 mV.The Zeta potential of L-DOC was almost unchanged after standing for 96 hours.The encapsulation efficiency of L-DOC was ( 71.2 ±1.6 )%.The CCK-8 results showed that the cell viability was decreased after treating with various concentration of DOC and L-DOC, but the inhibition effect of L-DOC was better than that of DOC after treating with the same dose, especially for 20μg/mL.It was found that the cell death was induced by apoptosis.The in vivo study results showed that 6mg/kg L-DOC could inhibit the tumor volume better than that of same dose of DOC.In addition, 6mg/kg L-DOC and DOC didn’ t induce in vivo toxicity.Conclusion The L-DOC is prepared by film-ultrasonic dispersion method which has small diameter, great biocompatibility.And it could inhibit the HepG2 cells in vitro and in vivo, especially for no in vivo toxicity.

Bacillus megaterium strains are commonly used in microbial fertilizer(MF) . MF products are often contaminated by other B. cereus group members,which have similar phenotype such as Bacillus cereus,B. thuringiensis,B. mycoide. For quality control and safety of MF,a rapid and accurate method is needed to distinguish the strains of Bacillus megaterium from B. cereus group. Based on specific nucleotide sequences of the spoOA genes,2 pairs of species-specific primers were designed and a multiplex-PCR(mPCR) was developed for this purpose. When the optimized mPCR was used to detect the DNAs of 24 reference strains from three genera of Bacillus,Paenibacillus,and Brevibacillus,all B. megaterium strains showed singlefragment of 443 bp and Bacillus cereus group showed a fragment of 411 bp. However,no any amplified product was from the other bacteria. The sensitivity of mPCR was 105 CFU/mL. The mPCR results of 10 isolates of B. megaterium/B. cereus group and 8 products of MF coincided with the biochemical assay. Taken together,our newly developed mPCR assay was species-specific and effective in application. It can be used to detect and identify the strains of B. megaterium and B. cereus group from microbial fertilizer products.

Objective To study the factors influencing epidemiological characteristics and virulence of Enterovirus 71 (EV71) in Guangdong province from 2008 to 2010. Methods RNA was extracted from collected samples or cultured virus , then reversing transcription into cDNA. We amplified full-length EV71-VP1 using poly-merase chain reaction technology , then conducted sequence alignment and established phylogenetic tree with MEGA software (version 5.0) to confirm the genotype of EV71. The association between severity of clinical symp-toms and sex, age, viral genotype and VP1 variation was also analyzed using Logistic regression. Results The genotype of the predominant epidemical strain was C4a in Guangdong from 2008 to 2010. However , this subtype had already differentiated into 4 subgroups (C4a1- C4a4). There was no correlation between clinical syndrome and sex or viral genotype; the severity of symptoms was negatively correlated with age: before 4 years old, varia-tion A289T can easily lead to severe cases, increasing the risk of infection (P<0.05, OR = 2.360, 95%CI:1.163~ 4.659). Conclusion The main epidemical EV71 strain is C4a1 in Guangdong province. The emerging differen-tiation and simultaneous prevalence should merit attention to strengthen relevant surveillance; and the protection of the susceptible population should be reinforced during EV71 prevalence.
