98 endophytic bacteria strains were isolated from different internal tissues of Glycyrrhiza uralensis plants collected from Innermongolia region. Results indicated that the population densities of endophytic bacteria ranged from 5.0?104cfu/g~2.9?107cfu/g fresh weight although it varied depending on tissue of the plant. Among these strains, Bacillus sp. was the most prevalent endophytic bacterium, which was amount to 30%.Of the 98 isolates, 6 strains exhibited extensive antagonistic activities against pathogenic bacteria. Characterization showed that these bacteria were Bacillus atrophaeus、Paenibacillus polymyxa、Bacillus subtilis、Paenibacillus ehimensis. This study indicated that selected 6 endophytic bacteria strains have potential for biological control of plant disease.

Objective Data on the leukapheresis from 26 pediatric patients with hematologic or solid malignancies was retrospectively evaluated to screen predictive factors affecting the efficacy of peripheral blood stem cell(PBSC) collection from donors,as well as hematopoietic recovery in recipients.Methods We present our experience with 49 apheresis from 26 granulocyte-colory Stimulating factor mobilized donors and analyzed the correlations between the mobilization,the leukocyte count in the donor peripheral blood and the MNC and CD_(34)~+ cell yields in collecting products and the neutrophil and platelet recovery of recipients.Results The process of mobilization and apheresis were well tolerated by our pediatric donors.The median numbers for harvested MNCs and CD_(34)~+ cells were 4.5?10~8/kg and 1.9?10~6/kg of recipient body weight,respectively.Mobilizing dose positively affected the number of mononuclear ceus(MNC) but not CD_(34)~+ cells in the apheresis products.The CD_(34)~+ cell number in the apheresis product was influenced significantly by donor circulating MNC on the day of harvest and correlated with recipient′s engraftment after PBSC was reinfused.Conclusions The MNC yield was stable and met with the demand for autologous stem cell transplantation while the CD_(34)~+ cell number varies obviously from each donor.Since a rapid engraftment was associated with a high number of CD_(34)~+ cells collected,which was in turn predicted by the level of the pre-apheresis CD_(34)~+ cells in the peripheral blood of donors,it is necessary to monitor the donors′ CD_(34)~+ cell during mobilization to determine the optimal time for apheresis.J Appl Clin Pediatr,2006,21(3):148-150

This paper reports the surface morphology and I-V curves of porous silicon (PS) samples and related devices. The observed fabrics on the PS surface were found to affect the electrical property of PS devices. When the devices were operated under different external bias (10 V or 3 V) for 10 min, their observed obvious differences in electrical properties may be due to the different control mechanisms in the Al/PS interface and PS matrix morphology.

OBJECTIVETo explore and evaluate the feasibility, safety, radicality and the short-term outcome of minimally invasive esophagectomy versus open esophagectomy for esophageal cancer.
METHODSFrom July 2007 to October 2009, 67 patients with esophageal cancer received minimally invasive esophagectomy (MIE group), while 38 patients underwent conventional open esophagectomy (OE group: via right thorax, abdomen, left neck). The operative procedures, clinicopathological data and short-term outcome were collected and compared between the two groups.
RESULTSThe clinical data of the two groups were comparable. No significant differences was found in demographics between the two groups. Median blood loss in MIE group was less than that in OE group (chest: 112.3 ml vs. 175.3 ml, P = 0.035, abdominal: 31.4 ml vs. 100.5 ml, P = 0.026). More patients in OE group were transferred to ICU (P = 0.042) and more obvious pain (P = 0.005). The rate of pulmonary infection and intestinal obstruction in OE group were higher than MIE group (P = 0.046 and 0.045). There were no differences in the number of lymph node dissection for two groups, the average was 20.9 and lymph node metastasis rate was 26.9% in MIE group. Mean follow up was (14.0 ± 2.2) months (range, 2 to 29 months). Recurrence rate and survival rate were no differences.
CONCLUSIONThe Minimally invasive esophagectomy for esophageal cancer is feasible, safe, and reliable short-term effect, and can achieve radical tumor resection, which may lead to better future of surgical treatment for esophageal carcinoma.

OBJECTIVETo compare efficacy of different adjuvant chemotherapy regimens for stage II-III gastric cancer after D2 gastrectomy in Asian patients.
METHODSAssociated literatures were searched through electronic databases and hand-searching. Prospective randomized clinical trials (RCTs) comparing adjuvant chemotherapy after D2 gastrectomy with surgery alone were included in the study. Overall survival and disease-free survival were chosen as the endpoints. Relative hazard was analyzed by Bucher adjusted indirect comparison.
RESULTSTwo RCTs were selected, including comparison between S-1 versus surgery alone and comparison between XELOX versus surgery alone. There was no statistical difference in overall survival between the two regimens (HR=0.94, 95%CI:0.62-1.44, P=0.79). The recurrence risk of S-1 was slightly higher as compared to XELOX, but no statistical difference was found (HR=1.11, 95%CI:0.80-1.53, P=0.54).
CONCLUSIONThe adjuvant chemotherapy with S-1 is similar to XELOX for stage II-III gastric cancer after D2 gastrectomy in Asian patients.

Background There are no noticeable symptoms in early stages of diabetic retinopathy(DR)and the detection of presymptomatic DR remains challenging. Therefore, data on the prevalence and progress of DR will help in prevention and treatment programs in China. Objective This study was to survey the prevalence and risk factors of diabetic retinopathy( DR ) in a population aged 40 years or older in the Shunyi district of Beijing city.Methods A cross-sectional study was designed. Cluster sampling was used to randomly select 4167 (91.6%)individuals aged ≥40 years in 24 clusters in the Shunyi district of Beijing city in China. The Questionnaire data,including general information, living habits, present history, past history, family history, education level etc., were obtained from each subjects. The height, body weight and blood pressure were examined, and slit-lamp examination, direct ophthalmoscopy,indirect ophthalmoscopy and nonmydriatic fundus photography were performed during the study duration. Diabetic mellitus (DM)was diagnosed and graded according to the criteria of Early Treatment Diabetic Retinopathy Study Research Group(ETDRS). The associated factors with DR were analyzed byx2 test,trend x2 test,and multivariate Logistic regression analysis. This protocol was approved by the Ethic Committee of Peking University. Informed consent was obtained from each individual prior to the survey. Results A total of 4167 ( 91.6% )individuals were examined from the 4549 samples with a response rate of 86. 4%. This study showed a prevalence of 29. 2% for DR, 5.4% for sight-threatening diabetic retinopathy ( STDR), and 1.3% for prolifrative retinopathy (PDR) in type 2 DM subjects. Of the type 2 DM subjects,0. 4% (4/445)had social blindness( VA<0. 1 ) ,and 6. 3% (28/445) presented with visual impairment (VA < 0. 3 )in bilateral eyes. Univariate Logistic regression analysis indicated that insulin therapy ( P = 0.011 ) and lower body mass index ( BMI, kg/m2 ) ( P = 0. 022 ) appeared to be significantly associated with DR, and the multivariate Logistic regression analysis demonstrated that longer duration of diabetes( P< 0. 01 ) , increased fasting glucose ( P < 0.01 ) and lower education level ( P = 0. 031 ) were significant independent predictors of DR. Conclusion The prevalence of DR is lower among diabetic Chinese aged ≥ 40 years than those of matched population in Western countries. Lower BMI and insulin therapy were the significantly associated factors of DR, and a longer duration of disease and higher fasting glucose level are independent risk factors of DR. Education attainment is important for the DM patients as a protective factor of DR.
