Strains from the cellulose-containing environment were collected. Primary screening (by filter-paper Hutchison solid culture medium and sodium carboxymethylcellulose solid culture medium) and reelection(by filter-paper inorganic salt culture medium and sodium carboxymethylcellulose Congo red culture medium) indicated that five strains obtained were best suited for high performance cellulose degradation. Determination of sodium carboxymethylcellulose activity(CMCA) and filter paper activity(FPA) was accomplished for each of the five. The strongest of the five in CMCA and FPA was applied to the production of cellulose bioethanol by separate hydrolysis and fermentation(SHF) and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation(SSF) respectively.

Various column chromatography, such as silica gel, Sephadex LH-20, ODS, and semi-preparative HPLC was used to isolate and purify the chemical constituents from Cinnamomum cassia. The structures were determined on the basis of NMR and MS spectral data analysis, together with the comparison with literature data. Fifteen compounds were isolated from the 85% aqueous ethanol extract of C. cassia, and their structures were identified as (2R, 3R)-5,7,3',4'-tetramethoxyflavan-3-ol( 1), (2R, 3R)-5,7-dimethoxy-3',4'-methylenedioxyflavan-3-ol (2), coumarin (3), cinnamic acid (4), (E)-2-hydroxy-phenylpropionic acid cinnamoyl ester (5), 3, 3', 4, 4'-tetrahydroxy biphenyl (6), methylstictic acid (7), epi-boscialin (8), (1R,2S,3S,4S)-2,3-epoxy-1, 4-dihydroxy-5-methyl-5-cyelohexene (9), 4,5-dihydroxy-3-methyl cyclohex-2-enone (10), cis-4-hydroxymellein (11), and 2-hydroxy-4-methoxyl-cinnamaldehyde (12). Compounds 5-11 were obtained from this genus plants for the first time.

OBJECTIVE:To study the safety of percutaneous administration of Hongzhi gutong cataplasm. METHODS:Rab-bits were taken for single dose in complete skin irritation test(n=4),single dose in damaged skin irritation test(n=4)and multi-ple doses in complete skin irritation test(n=4). The left and right sides of the skin respectively paste 3 cm×3 cm blank matrix and Hongzhi gutong cataplasm for 24 h(calculated by crude drug of 0.14 g). After removing tape 1,24,48,72 h,the erythema and edema in hair removal site of rabbits in the former 2 tests were observed;after 24 h of administration,the rabbits in the last group were administrated again after exposing the administration area for 1 h,repeated 3 times,the erythema and edema in hair removal site after removing tape the first,second time and 1,24,48,72 h in the third time were respectively observed. RESULTS:In the 3 experiments,the scores of erythema and edema of all rabbits were 0,and skin irritation was evaluated as no irritation. CONCLU-SIONS:Hongzhi gutong cataplasm has no skin irritation in rabbits.

Hospital infection has become a global public health problem. The strain of anti-disinfectant, same as the antibiotic-resistant strain, will lead to the failure of the disinfection of the hospital, which will cause hospital infection. The bacterial resistance to disinfectants and resistance mechanism is not clear. Most of the studies focused on the cell research, the molecular research, non-physiological mechanism of resistance, in recent years, the selection pressure, outflow pump were studied. Currently, disinfectants abuse, improper handling and inadequate amount of disinfectant were considered as the main cause of the resistance development.

Objective To investigate and analyze nasal carriage of bacteria in medical staff and antibiotic susceptibility. Methods All study participants underwent swabbing of the anterior 1.5 cm of the nasal vestibule of both nares with a sterile swab,and did drug sensitivity test Apr.-Oct.,2007. Results In 41.08% of all samples (125/299),136 pathogenetic bacteria were isolated. Klebsiella pneumoniae,Staphylococcus aureus and Enterobacter aerogenes were the prominent bacteria,of which showed the resistance for more than three kinds of antibiotics were 35,accounting for 25.73% of all isolates,10 strains of Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus (MRS) were detected. Conclusion The nasal carriage of bacteria and antibiotics resistance in medical staff in Tianjin should be paid attention to,for it may an important factor in the control of infection in hospitals.

Objective: To investigate the correlation between the quality and climatic factors for Gentiana officinalis H. Smith from different producing area in Gansu province, China by grey correlation degree analysis combined with CRITIC-AHP weight ed evaluation. Methods: Contents of the total secoiridoid glycosides, total alcohol extracts and the metallic elements Ca, Fe and Zn were determined for the medicinal herb G. officinalis samples from 10 producing areas in Gansu, and their quality was estimated by the CRITIC-AHP weighted evaluation. The relationship between the quality and related climatic factors was then investigated by the grey correlation degree analysis. The climatic factors included the altitude, annual mean temperature, monthly mean temperature of Janu ary and July, annual mean relative humidity and the annual mean rainfall precipitation. Results : The content of the determined com ponents showed variation in the G. officinalis samples from the 10 different producing area. The altitude, annual mean temperature, monthly mean temperature of January and July, annual mean relative humidity and the annual mean rainfall all showed certain influ ence on the G. officinalis quality, and the biggest influence was the monthly mean temperature of July. Conclusion: The present re sults of the grey correlation degree analysis identifies the main climatic factors influencing the G. officinalis quality, which provides an experimental basis for the proper area selection and planting standardization for the G. officinalis production.

Objective: To observe the therapeutic effect and safety of Yaotongning Capsule in the treatment of lumbar hyperplasia. Methods: A random, double-blind, placebo controlled, multicenter clinical research method was used. The lumbar hyperplasia patients (144 cases) were selected, divided into Yaotongning Capsule group (treatment group) with 72 cases, 72 cases completed; and placebo group (control group) with 72 cases, 70 cases completed. The treatment lasted for 2 weeks. After treatment, the symptom of traditional Chinese medicine and pain relief situation were observed in the two groups. Results: The curative effects of Yaotongning Capsule in the treatment of lumbar hyperplasia disease (cold-dampness stagnation syndrome) were as follows: The control rate in treatment group was 41.5%, and that in the control group was 0.0%, superiority test (P<0.001) was established. Pain relief: the relieve rate in treatment group was 86.1%, and that in the control group was reduced to 45.7%, there was significant difference between the groups (P<0.001). Conclusion: Yaotongning Capsule in the treatment of lumbar hyperplasia (cold-dampness stagnation syndrome) has obviously curative effect, and can effectively reduce the pain caused by lumbar hyperplasia.
