It is common in bacterial genomes of the integration of prophages. As an important participant of the vital movement of their hosts, prophages affect closely the biological properties of the hosts. Therefore, if we want to comprehend a bacterial genome fully, it is essential to recognize and understand accurately prophages in it. This article is a compendious review about the classification, distribution, identification, evolution of prophages and the interaction with their hosts.

A flow-injection chemiluminescence ( FI-CL ) reaction system with diperiodatoargentateⅢ was developed for the determination of hydrocortisone in human serum. The weak chemiluminescence signal from the reaction between DPA and sulfuric acid system can be greatly enhanced in the presence of hydrocortisone. The optimal conditions of the CL system were 1. 0 mol/L H2SO4, 2. 5×10-4 mol/L diperiodatoargentateⅢ, and flow rate of 4. 20 mL/min. Under the optimal conditions, the CL intensity was linearly to the concentration of hydrocortisone from 3 . 0 × 10-10 g/mL to 1 . 0 × 10-7 g/mL and the detection limit was 2 . 2 × 10-10 g/mL ( 3σ) . The relative standard deviation ( RSD ) was 0 . 6% ( n =11 ) for 5 . 0 × 10-8 g/mL hydrocortisone solution. The proposed method was successfully applied to the direct determination of hydrocortisone in serum samples with the recoveries of 93 . 0%-110 . 0%, and the relative standard deviations were 0 . 3%-3 . 2%. The possible chemiluminescence mechanism was investigated by measuring fluorescence spectra and UV-vis absorption spectra of the system.

Objective To investigate the effect on the menstrual patterns and sexual quality of life of patients with adenomyosis after treated with Mirena IUD.Methods56 patients with adenomyosis who were treated with Mirena IUD were recruited from August 2009 to December 2009.We used Menstrual blood loss chart method,Dysmenorrhea score method and Brief Index of Sexual Function for Women (BISF-W) to evaluate the menstrual pattern,the volume of uterus and sexual quality after1,3,6,9,12 months.{Results53 patients were followed up,the rate was 94.6%.The condition of 56 patients became better after treated with Mirena for 3,6,9,12 months,dysmenorrhea[Placed before:(3.15±0.91)points;After placing:(1.41±0.51)points,(0.22±0.09)points,(0.07±0.01)points,0 points]and menstrual quantity[Placed before:(12.0±57.5)points;After placing:(71±23.1)points,(29±19.4)points,(18±10.5)points,(10±4.7)points]were both reduced(P＜0.05),the symptoms were not significantly improved after 1 month(P＞0.05).D2 indicators was significantly improved after 3 months of treatment (P＜0.05),sexual function was also improved after 6 months(P＜0.05～0.01).ConclusionsMirena IUD has a good effect on the menstrual pattern and sexual function for patients with adenomyosis.

Bronchiectasis combined with pulmonary carcinoma in situ is very rare condition.This study reported four cases and reviewed some literatures.The data of 66 cases treated from August 2012 to October 2013,whose initial diagnoses as bronchiectases were analysed.Four cases were diagnosed postoperatively as bronchiectasis with pulmonary carcinoma in situ after sugery,accounted for 6％ of surgical patients for bronchiectasis.Bronchiectasis has the risk of combined with pulmonary carcinoma in situ,this should be brought to the attention.

Objective To promote the successful treatments of massive hemoptysis by summarizing the clinical data of 14 patients receiving surgery.Methods 14 cases of massive hemoptysis were retrospectively analysed,Eight male and 6 femal,aged 27-64 (45 ± 18) years including the application of CT,bronchoscopy and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO).Results 14 patients received preoerative bronchoscopy and emergency operation.In addition,hymoptysis had not occurred after the surgery in these cases.Conclusion The standardized clinical pathways for massive hemoptysis and the application of preoerative bronchoscopy is essential for emergency treatment of massive hemoptysis.

Objective To make a concrete analysis of micro-perfusion pump and compatible syringes used in neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) for low birth weight infants,and to find solutions to the defects in application.Methods 20 ml sterile syringes were set different infusion rates (1ml/h,5ml/h,6ml/h,10ml/h),different infusion time (5min,30min,lh).Then,the card slot on the micro-perfusion pump where the end of 20ml sterile syringe was placed was regulated.The regulated syringes were also set different infusion rates (5ml/h,6ml/h,l0ml/h) and time as before.The error accuracy was calculated.Results The results showed that at the end stage of 20ml sterile syringes pumping,there was always 0.5～1.5 ml residual liquid which could not be pumped out,but perfusion pump displayed injection was completed.Before regulation,the error accuracy between different infusion rates of 20ml sterile syringes was 6.00％,3.80％,2.33％,1.30％ respectively.However,after improvement,the regulated syringes could completely pump all liquid out,and the error accuracy between different infusion rates and different infusion time was also superior to pre-improvement.Conclusions Improved micro-infusion pump and sterile solution prefilled syringe have no drug residual,and display high accuracy and small error accuracy.

A novel flow-injection chemiluminescence (FI-CL) method free of CL reagent was developed for the determination of captopril based on its enhancing effect on the CL derived from diperiodatoargentate(III)-sulfuric acid system. Compared with the conventional CL system, the CL system based on trivalent silver was characterized of good selectivity for the absence of CL reagent. The CL mechanism was discussed through CL spectra and UV–vis absorption spectra. The conditions of the FI-CL system were investigated and optimized. Under the optimal conditions, the relative CL intensity was linear with the captopril concentration in the range of 0.3–15.0 μg/mL. The detection limit for captopril was 0.05 μg/mL, and the relative standard deviation (n=11) was 2.0% for 5.0 μg/mL captopril. The proposed method was applied to the analysis of captopril in tablet and human urine with the recoveries of 83.1%–112.5%, and the relative standard deviations of 0.5%–4.4%. The results obtained by the proposed method agreed well with those obtained from HPLC method. The proposed method is fast, convenient, and cost-effective for the determination of captopril in medicine and biological samples.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical efficacy of acupoint application of antiemetic cream in the treatment of che-motherapy-induced nausea and vomiting. METHODS:90 cases of non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)(stage Ⅱ to Ⅲ)treated by chemotherapy(taxol+cisplatin)were randomly divided into antiemetic cream group,Weifuan group and control group,with 30 cas-es in each groupby drawing lots. Control group was given intravenous injection of ondansetron hydrochloride 8 mg 30 min before chemotherapy;antiemetic cream group was additionally given acupoint application of antiemetic cream 30 min before medication on first-forth day on the basis of control group;Weifuan group was additionally given acupoint injection of metoclopramide(brand name:Weifuan) 30 min before medication on first-forth day on the basis of control group. The clinical efficacy of 3 groups were observed during and 3 days after chemotherapy. RESULTS:After chemotherapy,the total control rates of antiemetic cream group (93.33%)and Weifuan group(90.00%)were apparently higher than the control group(66.67%),with statistical significance(P<0.01 or P<0.05);The total effective rates of TCM syndrome in antiemetic cream group (90.00%) and Weifuan group(83.33%) were apparently higher than in control group(60.00%),with statistical significance(P<0.01 or P<0.05). Therapeutic efficacy of antiemetic cream group was similar to Weifuan group,without any statistical significance(P>0.05). However,8 patients had obvi-ously pain at the injection site in Weifuan group,but tolerated to the drugs basically. CONCLUSIONS:The acupoint application of antiemetic cream combined with intravenous injection of ondansetron is effective and easy to operate in the treatment of nausea and vomiting induced by chemotherapy for stage Ⅱ to Ⅲ of NSCLC without pain,scar and sequela,and easy to be accepted by patients.

Objective To evaluate the protective effect of epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG) against interleukin (IL)-17-induced injury to keratinocytes,and to explore its mechanism.Methods Some cultured HaCaT cells were divided into 3 groups to be treated with IL-17 alone at concentrations of 50,70,90 μg/L,respectively,with those receiving no treatment as the blank control group.Some HaCaT cells were divided into 5 groups:IL-17 group treated with 90 μg/L IL-17 alone,IL-17 + EGCG group treated with 90 μg/L IL-17 and 60 μmol/L EGCG,IL-17 + SP600125 group treated with 90 μg/L IL-17 and SP600125 (a JAK signaling pathway inhibitor),IL-17+ EGCG + anisomycin group treated with 90μg/L IL-17,60xmol/L EGCG and anisomycin (a Janus kinase signaling pathway activator),and blank control group receiving no treatment.After different durations of treatment,CCK-8 assay was performed to evaluate cellular proliferative activity,flow cytometry to detect cell apoptosis,enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) to measure expression levels of IL-6,IL-23 and IL-8,and Western-blot analysis to determine protein expressions of c-Jun N-terminal kinase (JNK) and phosphorylated JNK (P-JNK).Results IL-17 promoted cellular proliferation of HaCaT cells,and the proliferation rate,which was correlated with the concentration of IL-17,reached the maximum in the 90-μg/L IL-17 group (P ＜ 0.05).EGCG at 60 μmol/L significantly inhibited cellular proliferation of,promoted apoptosis in,and reduced IL-6,IL-23 and IL-8 expressions in,HaCaT cells induced by 90 μg/L IL-17 (all P ＜ 0.05).Compared with the IL-17 group,the IL-17 + EGCG group and IL-17 + SP600125 group both showed significantly decreased P-JNK expression,cell proliferation rate and IL-6,IL-23 and IL-8 expression levels (all P ＜ 0.05).However,compared with the IL-17 + EGCG group,the IL-17 + EGCG + anisomycin group showed significantly increased protein expression of P-JNK,cell proliferation rate and IL-6,IL-23 and IL-8 expression levels (all P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion EGCG protected against IL-17-induced injury to HaCaT cells,such as abnormal cell proliferation,apoptosis and inflammatory response,likely by inhibiting the JNK signaling pathway.
