Methods The chemical luminescent reaction of KMnO4 and resorcinol in acid solution was studied by flow injection analysis. The related factors affecting chemical luminescent intensity were explored. The method for determination of resorcinol was established by flow injection analysis with chemical luminescence detection. Results The detection limit and linear range were 0.06?g/ml and 0.2-80 ?g/ml respectively. The relative standard deviation of 1.3% was obtained by 11 parallel determinations of 4.0?g/ml resorcinol. Conclusion This method was satisfactorily applied to determination of resorcinol in waste water.

The aim of this study was to elucidate the scientific connotation of Bombyx Batryticatus processing with wheat bran under high temperature. The contents of soluble protein extracted from Bombyx Batryticatus and its processed products and the limited content of AFT in Bombyx Batryticatus and the processed one were compared. The concentration of protein was measured with the Bradford methods and the difference of protein between Bombyx Batryticatus and its processed products was compared by SDS-PAGE analysis. Aflatoxin B1, B2, G1, and G2 were determined by reversed-phase HPLC. The results showed that the soluble protein content of Bombyx Batryticatus and its processed products were (47.065 +/- 0.249), (29.756 +/- 1.961) mg x g(-1), correspondingly. Analysis of protein gel electrophoresis showed that there were no significant differences between the crude and processed one in protein varieties. 6 bands were detected: 31.90, 26.80, 18.71, 15.00, 10.18, 8.929 kDa. Below 10 kDa, the color of bands of the processed one was deeper than the crude one, which demonstrate that macromolecular protein was degradated into micromolecule. The content of AFG1, AFB1, AFG2, AFB2 were 0.382, 0.207, 0.223, 0.073 g x kg(-1), not exceeded 5 microg x kg(-1) while the processed one was not detected. Through processing with wheat bran under high temperature, the content of soluble protein in Bombyx Batryticatus decreased, the processing purpose for alleviating drug property was achieved. Meanwhile, the limited content of aflatoxins were reduced or cleared by processing procedure or absorbed by processing auxillary material, adding the safety of the traditional Chinese Medicine. In conclusion, as a traditional processing method, bran frying Bombyx Batryticatus was scientific and reasonable.

Objective To review the effect of non-invasive bi-level positive airway pressure ventilation combined with naloxone in the treatment of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD) complicated with pulmonary encephalopathy (PE).Methods Related published studies involving BiPAP combined with naloxone in the treatment of AECOPD complicated with PE were recruited and identified from Pubmed,ISI Web of knowledge,CBM Disc,CNKI,Wanfang Data,and randomized controlled trails(RCTs) primarily collected were screened according to inclusive criteria and exclusive criteria.Valid data were extracted after quality evaluation for meta-analysis utilizing RevMan 5.2.Results A total of 10 Chinese RCTs were enrolled,including 697 patients (353 patients in experimental group while 343 patients in control group).The results of metaanalysis indicated that BiPAP combined with naloxone improved PaO2 (WMD =4.10,95％ CI (2.83,5.38),P＜0.00001),PH value(WMD =0.04,95％ CI (0.02,0.05),P ＜ 0.00001) and clinical efficiency rate (OR =3.58,95 ％ CI ((2.22,5.76),P ＜ 0.00001),and reduced PaCO2 (WMD =-5.78,95 ％ CI (-6.87,4.69),P ＜ 0.00001),re-endotracheal intubation rate (OR =0.19,95 ％ CI (0.11,0.35),P ＜ 0.00001),but failed to decrease mortality(OR =0.38,95％ CI (0.11,1.34),P =0.13) of patients with AECOPD complicated with PE.Conclusions BiPAP combined with naloxone play a protective role in enhancing arterial blood gas indexes,improving clinical efficiency rate and limiting re-endotracheal intubation rate.However,the mortality of patients cannot be reduced.

AIM:To observe the structural basis of ocular motility abnormalities in patients with congenital fibrosis of the extraocular muscles type Ⅰ ( CFEOM Ⅰ) due to missense mutations in the developmental kinesin KIF21A using high - resolution magnetic resonance imaging ( MRI) .
METHODS: Totally 11 affected individuals reported KIF21A mutations were correlated with MRI studies demonstrating extraocular muscles ( EOMs ) size, location, contractility, and innervation. EOMs and the motor nerve in the orbits were imaged with T1 weighted in a triplanar scan using a dual-phased coils with 2. 0mm thick. Motor nerves were imaged at the brainstem using head coils and 3D-FIESTA with 0. 6-mm thick.
RESULTS: Patients with CFEOM Ⅰ exhibited different degrees of hypoplasia of oculomotor nerve, the abducens nerve and the trochlear nerve were also affected, of which 8 cases of orbital section could see the signal of abnormal nerve dominated by oculomotor nerve to lateral rectus. The both sides of six EOMS in all patients exhibited variable atrophy and abnormal bright internal signal on T1 imaging, particularly severe for the superior rectus and levator muscles.
CONCLUSION: High - resolution MRI can directly demonstrate pathology of motor nerves,affected EOMs, and ‘Pulley' hypoplasia caused by CFEOM Ⅰ due to mutations in KIF21A,and these findings suggest that the neuronal hypoplasia is the etiological factor of CFEOM.

Objective To evaluate the in vitro activity of cefazolin penta-hydrate and other common used antimicrobial agents against clinical pathogens isolated within last 3 years. Method MIC values were deter-mined by standard twofold agar dilution method. Time kill curves were il-lustrated by colony form unit (cfu) count method. Totally , MICs of 604 isolates within last 3 years from 19 hospitals were tested. Result The results indicated that for Gram - positive aerobic pathogens, cafazolin pentahydrate showed satisfied in vitro activity against methicillin suscepti-ble Staphylococcus aureus ( MSSA), methicillin susceptibel Staphylococcus epidemidis (MSSE), penicillin susceptible Streptococcus pneumonies (PSSP) and Streptococcus spp. β-hemolytic group. MIC90 was ≤ 4 mg · L-1 For Gram- negative bacilli, cefazolin pentahydrate also showed antibacterial activity. MIC values was ≤ 8 mg · L-1 for non- ESBLs Enterobacteriaceae bacteria. Time- kill curves test results indicated that cefazolin pentahydrate typically is of time dependent profile against staph-ylococci, but for E. coli, the bactericidal activity slight increased with drug concentration increased. Conclution Compared with contrast drugs, the activities of cefazolin pentahydrate against G+ bacteria were better than cephalexin, clindamycin, clarithromycin, and silght better than cefotiam, and similar with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid, cefuroxime and levofloxacin. For non - ESBLs Enterobacteriaceae, the activies of cefazolin pentahydrate were better than cephalexin, and similar with amoxicillin/clavulanic acid and cefuroxime.

Objective To explore the regulatory mechanism of emodin on pain behavior in a mouse model of osteoarthritis based on mitochondrial key genes.Methods Thirty C57BL/6J mice were randomly divided into the control group,the osteoarthritis(OA)model group and the emodin-treated(OA+emodin)group,10 mice per each group.The mice in the OA group and the OA+emodin group were intra-articular injection of complete Freund's adjuvant(20 μL)in knee to establish the OA model,and mice in the OA+emodin group were treated by intraperitoneal emodin(10 mg/kg)injection.After behavioral testing,knee tissue of mice was collected for hematoxylin-eosin staining.Western blot analysis was used to detect expression levels of proinflammatory factors interleukin-1β(IL-1β),tumor necrosis factor-α(TNF-α)and mitochondria-related proteins NADH dehydrogenase(ubiquinone)flavoprotein 1(NDUFV1),cytochrome C oxidase subunit 5B(COX5B),cytochrome C oxidase assembly protein COX15 homolog(COX15),NADH dehydrogenase(ubiquinone)1 alpha subcomplex subunit 10(NDUFA10)in knee tissue.Results Compared with the control group,mice in the OA group showed decreased mechanical nociceptive threshold(PWT),reduced latency and distance in rotarod test(P＜0.05).Compared with the OA group,mice in the OA+emodin group showed increased PWT,latency,and distance(P＜0.05).In the control group,the structures of cartilage and subchondral bone were intact,while in the OA group,the cartilage was thinner and the subchondral trabeculae was deteriorated.The treatment with emodin alleviated cartilage degeneration.The expression levels of IL-1β,TNF-α,COX15 and NDUFA10 were increased while expression levels of NDUFV1 and COX5B were decreased in the OA group compared with the control group.The emodin treatment restored the above-mentioned protein expression levels(P＜0.05).Conclusion Emodin can alleviate pain behavior in OA mice by regulating the expressions of inflammatory factors and mitochondrial related proteins.

Objective: To study the protective effects of Panax quinquefolium 20s-protopanaxdiolsaponins extracted from leaves of P.quinquefolium（PQDS）on acute myocardial infarction（AMI）in dogs. Method：The parameters of myocardial infart size , the serum CK and LDH activity, myocardial metabolism,free radicals and coronary circulation etc were determined by using the model of ligation of LAD in the anaesthetized open-chest dogs.

OBJECTIVETo evaluate the correlations between MELD score and left ventricular function in patients with end-stage liver disease.

METHODSA total of 92 patients who prepared for orthotopic liver transplantation from January 2002 to May 2008 were enrolled in this study. Of these Patients, 75 were males and 17 were females, and the mean age was 50.3+/-9.5 years; 85 were cirrhosis, 7 were cirrhosis with primary liver cancer. Preoperative information, including biochemical parameters, coagulation parameters, indicators of hepatitis virology, two-dimensional echocardiography and electrocardiogram were collected. According to MELD (the Model for End-stage Liver Disease) scoring system, these subjects were categorized into three groups: MELD score is less than or equal to 9 points (31 cases, 33.7%); 10 is less than or equal to MELD score is less than or equal to 19 points (45 cases, 48.9%); MELD score is more than or equal to 20 points (16 cases, 17.4%). The relationships between MELD score and classification and cardiac function were determined by chi-square test, analysis of variance, rank sum test and correlation analysis, et al.

RESULTSMELD score was significantly correlated with left atrial diameter (LAD), interventricular septum thickness (IVST), left ventricular end-diastolic diameter (LVEDD), aortic flow (AF), cardiac output (CO), QRS interval (QRSI) and corrected QT interval (QTc) (r = 0.317, 0.341, 0.228, 0.387, 0.325, 0.209 and 0.347, respectively; P value less than 0.01, respectively); except QRSI, these variables and left ventricular posterior wall thickness (LVPWT) were also correlated with INR (a MELD component) (r = 0.282, 0.319, 0.322, 0.435, 0.275, 0.320 and 0.237, respectively; P value less than 0.01, respectively); LAD, LVEDD, AF, CO and QTc were correlated with serum total bilirubin (r = 0.241, 0.219, 0.357, 0.246 and 0.253, respectively; P value less than 0.05, respectively); IVST and E/A ratio (A blood flow [from left atrium to left ventricular] velocity ratio between early diastole [E wave] and late diastole[A wave] ) were correlated with serum creatinine (r = 0.216 and -0.343; P value less than 0.05 and 0.01); the proportion of E/A is less than or equal to 1 in all subjects was 46.7% (43/92), and 48.4% (15/31), 35.6% (16/45) and 75.0% (12/16) in each group, besides, there was statistically significant difference between 10 is less than or equal to MELD score is less than or equal to 19 points group and MELD score is more than or equal to 20 points group (X2 = 7.359, P = 0.009).

CONCLUSIONSThere are different degrees of left ventricular structure, function and electrophysiological changes in patients with end-stage liver disease, these anomalies also will be increased with the MELD score increasing.
