Based on the adjacent matrix, a new principal quantum number topological index mX was set up：0X=Σ(δi)0.5， 1X=Σ(δi*δ\-j)0.5. The 0X, 1X values of 94 molecules for 13 series of compounds are calculated. It is found that 0X, 1X are correlated well with the retention indices RI of gas chromatography for these compounds .The results show that all the correlation coefficients are larger than 0.97. It has been demonstrated that the method possesses the advantage of easy computation and clear physical significance.

The immunopharmacological effects of anisodamine(654-2)on immune complexnephritis were examined in rabbits with acute experimental serum sickness(AESS).The results showed that activities of renal calmodulin(CaM)and cathepsin D(Cath-D)were significantly high.654-2 could inhibit CaM activity and immune complex-induced lysosomal enzyme release,and lessen immune complex glomerulonephritis at thesame time.Our findings suggest that a marked inhibition of CaM activity by 654-2 mi-ght contribute greatly to the improvement of immune complex glomerulonephritis.

Anisodamine (654-2) was administered to rabbits with acute experimental serum sickness (AESS) to study the immunomodulatory effects of 654-2 on AESS. The results suggested that 654-2 may decrease the serum specific antibody and immune complex (IC), inhibit the activity of serum cathepsin D (Cath-D), make the level of complemnts in narrow change, and improved the renal injury.

This study examined the effect of subcellular localization of P21 on the proliferation and apoptosis of HepG2 cells. The coding genes of the wild and the mutant P21 were amplified by mega primer PCR from the plasmid pCEP-WAF1 which contains human P21 cDNA in the nuclear localizational signal (NLS) sequence, and then inserted into the eukaryotic expression vector pDsRed1-C1. The recombinants were transfected into HepG2 cells. The transcription and expression of P21 were determined by RT-PCR and fluorescence microscopy. The cell proliferation was measured by MTT, and the cell cycle and apoptosis of HepG2 cells by flow cytometry. The results of restriction analysis, DNA sequencing and fluorescence microscopy confirmed the construction of the wild and the mutant P21 in the eukaryotic expression plasmid. The plasmid containing the mutant P21 was found to accelerate cell proliferation and the wild P21 plasmid to inhibit cell proliferation. Cell cycle analysis showed that the cell ratio of G(0)/G(1) in the wild type group was significantly increased as compared with that in the mutant type group, and cell apoptosis analysis revealed that the apoptosis rate in the wild type group was much higher than that in the mutant type group. It was concluded that the subcellular localization of P21 may contribute to the development of hepatic cancer.

Objective To investigate the effect of general anesthesia with sevoflurane or intravenous propofol on anesthesia recovery period in obstructive jaundice patients. Methods Thirty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ and Child A obstructive jaundice patients were randomly divided into two equal groups (n=15 each). The patients in group S received inhalation anesthesia with sevoflurane and those in group P intravenous anesthesia with propofol during operation for obstructive jaundice. The patients were premedicated with intramuscular phenobarbital 100mg and atropine 0.5mg, anesthesia was induced with midazolam 0.05mg/kg, atracurium 0.5mg/kg, propofol 1.5-2.5mg/kg and fentanyl 4μg/kg. Maintained with TCI of propofol (target plasmaconcentration was set at 3.5mg/L) or sevoflurane inhalation (end-tidal sevoflurane concentration was 2%-3%) and intermittent i. v. boluses of fentanyl. EGG, HR, MAP, SpO<,2> and end-tidal sevoflurane concentration were continuously monitored during operation. Duration of anesthesia, the volume of infusion and fentanyl were recorded, awaking time, extubation and regained consciousness after operation were recorded. Results There were no significant differences between the two groups in average age, sex, body-weight, duration of anesthesia, the parameters of MAP and HR (P>0.05). The awaking time was (7.9±1.5) minutes in group S and (26.1±8.8) minutes in group P. The extubation time was (8.5±2.5) minutes in group S and (27.8±11.2) minutes in group P. The regained consciousness time was (13.1±4.4) minutes in group S and (33.7±12.5) minutes in group P. The incidence of lethargy, fidget were higher in group P than those in group S. Conclusion Both sevoflurane and propofol can provide satisfactory anesthesia for the operation of obstructive jaundice, but the recovery of influence caused by sevoflurane is faster and more steady than that caused by propofol.

Objective To evaluate the role of nuclear factor erythroid 2-related factor 2/antioxidant responsive element (Nrt2/ARE) signaling pathway inthe reduction of myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury by propofol in rats.Methods Sixty adult male Sprague-Dawley rats,weighing 200-240 g,were randomly divided into 5 groups (n =12 each) using a random number table:sham operation group (S group),I/R group,propofol group (P group),propofol + Nrf2 vehicle-plasmid group (PNV group) and propofol + Nrf2 siRNA plasmid group (PNS group).The animals were anesthetized with inhalation of 2％ isoflurane,tracheally intubated and mechanically ventilated.Myocardial I/R was produced by 5 min occlusion of left anterior descending branch of coronary artery followed by 60 min reperfusion.In P,PNV and PNS groups,isoflurane inhalation was stopped after successful intubation and propofol was infused via the caudal vein at 6 mg· kg-1 · h-1 until 30 of reperfusion.At 30 min of propofol infusion,Nrf2 vehicle-plasmid 10 μg (100 μl) was injected intramyocardially before myocardial ischemia in group PNV,and Nrf2 siRNA 10 μg (100 μl) was injected intramyocardially before myocardial ischemia in group PNS.The animals were sacrificed at 60 min of reperfusion and myocardial specimens were taken for determination of the infarct size,apoptosis index,and the expression of Nrf2 and heme oxygenase-1 (HO-1).Results Compared with group S,the infarct size and apoptosis index were significantly increased,and the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was up-regulated in I/R and P groups.Compared with group I/R,the infarct size and apoptosis index were significantly decreased,and the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was up-regulated in group P.Compared with group P,no significant changes were found in the infarct size,apoptosis index and expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 in group PNV,and the infarct size and apoptosis index were significantly increased,and the expression of Nrf2 and HO-1 was down-regulated in group PNS.Conclusion Nrf2/ARE signaling pathway is involved in the reduction of myocardial I/R injury by propofol in rats.

Experimental acute serum sickness was produced in 20 rabbits By a sensitizing injection with bovine serum albumin (BSA) through the auricular vein. Five days after the sensitization, ten of the 20 animals were given a total body irradiation of 300 r from a 60Co sourse. No radiation was given to the other 10 animals which served as controls. Blood samples were taken from the rabbits of both groups before and 2 , 4 , 6 , 8 , 10, 12, 14, and 16 days after antigen injection. After the sera were seperated, the concentrations of the circulating immune complexes were determined with the PEG complement consumption test. It was found that the dynamic curves of the concentrations of the circulating immune complexes of the two groups were essentially similar. This result strongly suggests that total body irradiation of gamma rays given five days after the sensitization of an antigen exerts no influence on the formation of the circulating immune complexes though acute radiation sickness is well established.

Objective To evaluate the effects of sulforaphane preconditioning on cognitive dysfunction induced by sevoflurane anesthesia in aged rats.Methods Thirty Sprague-Dawley rats,aged 22 months,weighing 380-560 g,were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =10 each) using a random number table:control group,sevoflurane group (Sev group),and sulforaphane group (Sul group).In group Sul,sulforaphane25 mg/kg was administered by oral gavage once a day for 7 consecutive days,while the equal volume of distilled water was given instead of sulforaphane in Sev and C groups.Groups Sev and Sul inhaled 3％ sevoflurane in oxygen (2.5 L/min) and group C inhaled air (100 min/d) for 5 consecutive days starting from the end of gavage.At 24 h after sevoflurane inhalation,cognitive function was detected using Morris water maze and open field tests.The escape latency,frequency of crossing the original platform,the number of crossing the grid,the number of standing on the back legs and the time the animals spent in the central square were recorded.Results Compared with group C,the frequency of crossing the original platform,the number of crossing the grid,and the number of standing on the back legs were significantly reduced,the time the animals spent in the central square and escape latency on 1st day were prolonged and no significant changes were found in the escape latency on 2nd-4th days in group Sev.Compared with group Sev,the frequency of crossing the original platform,the number of crossing the grid,and the number of standing on the back legs were significantly increased,and the time the animals spent in the central square and escape latency on 1st day were shortened.Conclusion Sulforaphane preconditioning can improve the cognitive dysfunction induced by sevoflurane anesthesia in aged rats.

OBJECTIVETo develop a real-time polymerase chain reaction(PCR) based on TaqMan technology by using a new MGB probe for detecting enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli (ETEC) in paper.
