OBJECTIVE To investigate the application of antibacterials in patients accepted operation in grass-roots(hospitals),so to standardize the application of antibacterials and cut down the medical cost.METHODS Full-time administrators for nosocomial infection investigated the application of antibacterials in patients who accepted(operation) in Sep 2004,and filled in the questionnaires.RESULTS In 1 383 cases of 11 hospitals the application rate of antibacterials was 98.63%;in which 86.50% were for prophylactic usage and 13.50% for therapeutic usage;(29.90%) for single antibiotics treatment and 50.15% for bigeminy,18.70% were for trigeminy.Time of(application) differentiated(6.90,7.00,6.60d) fromⅠto Ⅲ kinds of operation.Per capita cost of antibacterials was $956.50(47.60%).CONCLUSIONS High cost of antibacterials results from such factors as multiple kinds,long time and(combined) application.

Objective To investigate whether arsenic trioxide(As2O3)with different density is capable of affecting the invasiveness of neuroblastoma(NB)cells,and to give grounds for NB therapy with As2O3.Methods 1.Well-developed NB cells were selected and exposed to 0.75 ?mol/L,1.50 ?mol/L,3.0 ?mol/L As2O3 for 24 h;2.Collect the adherence cells,count the number and float them in nutrient medium again,add them into the transwell polycarbonate membrane plate that was covered by matrigel,there were 2?104 NB cells in each well;3.After 24 h,take off the membrane,fix the cells which cross the membrane with mehanol and dye them with hematoxylin;4.Observe the NB cells and count them,so the capability of invasion of LA-N-5 was evaluated by transwell chamber assay.Results After 24 h with the different density As2O3,the number of invading LA-N-5 cells was significantly lower in As2O3 group than that in control group(the number of invading cells of the As2O3 group was 28.0?4.0,19.33?4.16,6.33?1.53,respectively,the cell number of the control group was 46.33?6.11)(P=0.013,0.003,0);among the experiment groups,there was no difference between 0.75 ?mol/L and 1.50 ?mol/L(P=0.06),and it was significantly different between 0.75 ?mol/L and 3.0 ?mol/L,1.50 ?mol/L and 3.0 ?mol/L(P=0,0.007),the number of invading LA-N-5 cells of 3.0 ?mol/L As2O3 was the least.Conclusions As2O3 could inhibit the invasive potential of NB cells;the inhibitory action of 3.0 ?mol/L As2O3 is the most.

Since 1970's , lots of studies on biodegradation of chloroanilines (CAS) have been done, especially, in these aspects: spieces and capability of the microbes; metabolic pathway; gene cloning, expression of degradation plas-mid and pivotal metabolic emzymes. It is necessary for us to review the study on biodegradation of chloroanilines in order to summarize some useful results and the problems in this study.

After 28 foreign species of AM fungi were inoculated in sterilized soil, the effects of the AM mycorrhizal colonization and the medicine quality of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis were observed by combination of inoculation test in pot at room temperature and instrumental analysis. The results showed that, compared with control group (CK), the inoculation of foreign AM fungi in the soil influenced the spore density, mycorrhizal infection rate, and colonization intensity of AM fungi in root system of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis. The inoculation of foreign AM fungi enhanced the mycorrhiza viability of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis by increasing the activity of succinic dehydrogenase (SDH) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) in intraradical hyphae. The content of single steroid saponin in rhizome of P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis showed variation after P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis was inoculated by different foreign species of AM fungi, which was beneficial for increasing the medicine quality; however, the kinds of steroid saponin showed no difference. In a degree, there was a selectivity of symbiosis between P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis and foreign AM fungi. And we found that the Claroideoglomus claroideum and Racocetra coralloidea were best foreign AM fungi species for cultivating P. polyphylla var. yunnanensis under field condition.

Objective To obtain DNA oligonucleotide aptamers which can specifically bind to MPT64 protein from Mycobacterium tuberculosis by SELEX(systematic evolution of ligands by exponential enrichment)technology. Methods A random ssDNA library with in vitro synthesized 78 nucleotides in length was subiected to 12 rounds of selection by SELEX method against MPT64 protein. The binding ability of the aptamers to the protein was examined by biotin-streptavidin-horseradish peroxidase system. Results The selective system used was as follows:in PCR amplification,annealing temperature was 65℃ and the concentration of Mg2+ was 1.5 mmol/L in optimizing library, and when preparation of ssDNA with asymmetrical PCR amplification, 0.75 mmol/L of Mg2+ was used. When using the plate for ELISA as the substrate for the selection, the pattern of electrophoretic band of PCR product after the tenth round selection became unitary and denser than that of the first round. The binding assay demonstrated that A value at 450 nm of the tenth round increased by 9.18 times as compared with that of the first round. The results showed that the affinities of the aptamers were different. The highest A value at 450 nm was 1.606, and the lowest 0.572. Conclusion A set of aptamers with considerable binding affinity to MPT64 protein are successfully picked out from the initial random DNA library.

OBJECTIVETo observe the antifebrile effect of Naoreqing (NRQ) oral liquid on secretive function of vaso-endothelial cells in rabbits with endotoxic fever.

METHODSEndotoxic fever rabbit model was duplicated to observe the effects of NRQ on body temperature, blood levels of thromboxane B2 (TXB2), 6-keto-prostaglandin F1alpha (6-keto-PGF1alpha) and endothelin (ET) using radioimmunoassay, as well as activity of tissue-type plasminogen activator (t-PA) and plasminogen activator inhibitor (PAI) in plasma by chromophoric substrate assay.

RESULTSComparisons of various indexes between the two groups showed significantly difference, i.e. the maximal increment of body temperature: 0.69 +/- 0.07 degrees C vs 1.31 +/- 0.13 degrees C (the NRQ treated group vs the untreated model group, the same hereafter); 2h thermal response index TRI2 4.85 +/- 0.57 vs 8.44 +/- 0.98; plasma ET content 197.96 +/- 39.11 ng/L vs 250.80 +/- 40.99 ng/L; TXB2 content 177.35 +/- 77.30 ng/L vs 279.64 +/- 83.74 ng/L; activity of PAI 0.84 +/- 0.01AU/ml vs 0.86 +/- 0.01 AU/ml; plasma 6-keto-PGF1alpha content 986.70 +/- 327.36 ng/L vs 507.81 +/- 170.01 ng/L; activity of t-PA 0.25 +/- 0.02 IU/ml vs 0.21 +/- 0.02 IU/ml (P < 0.05, P < 0.01).

CONCLUSIONNRQ may improve secretive function of vaso-endothelial cells to dilate blood vessel and quicken heat dissipation through body surface, so as to play an integral antipyretic effect in rabbits with endotoxic fever.
