Objective To compare the effects of different spleen-strengthening recipes on water-electrolyte metabolism and water transport in rat model of spleen-deficiency syndrome. Methods The male Wistar rats were randomly assigned into the normal group and spleen-deficiency model group. The rat model of spleen-deficiency was established by overstrain plus disordered diet method. On the 15th modeling day, the model rats were randomly assigned into model group , Buzhong Yiqi Tang(BYT) group, Si Junzi Tang(SJT) group, Shenling Baizhu San(SBS) group, and the rats except for the model group were treated with gastric gavage of the corresponding medicine in the dosage of 4.05 g·kg-1·d-1. Rats of normal group and model group were given equal volume of normal saline. The medication lasted for 14 days. On the 29th experimental day, we detected serum Na+ and K+, plasma antidiuretic hormone(ADH) and aldosterone(ALD), aquaporin 3(AQP3) in the small intestine and colon, and renal AQP2. Results Compared with the normal group, plasma ADH and ALD levels, serum Na+ level, renal AQP2 content in the model rats were increased significantly, serum K+ and AQP3 content of small intestine and colon mucosa was decreased significantly(P<0.01). Compared with the model group, plasma ADH and ALD levels, serum Na+ level, renal AQP2 content in the three medication groups were decreased significantly, serum K+level and AQP3 in the small intestine and descending colon mucosa was increased significantly(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Of the three medication groups, SBS group had lower ADH, ALD, Na+levels, and higher serum K+level and AQP3 in the small intestine and descending colon mucosa than BYT group and SJT group(P<0.01); SBS group and BYT group had lower renal AQP2 than SJT group(P<0.05 or P<0.01). Conclusion Rat model with spleen-deficiency syndrome has disordered water-electrolyte metabolism and abnormal water transport. The spleen-strengthening recipes, which have the actions of strengthening spleen, strengthening spleen to drain dampness, strengthening spleen to elevate yang, can improve the disorder of water metabolism to some degrees, and SBS has the best effect.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic value of endoscopic ultrasonography (EUS) for unexplained bile duct expansion in patients before retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP). Methods Sixty patients with unknown causes of bile duct dilatation were included in this study. Patients were examined by abdominal ultrasound (TUS), CT and (or) magnetic resonance imaging (MRCP) suggesting the dilatation of common bile duct, suspecting biliary pancreatic disease with unknown cause. EUS diagnosis was performed before ERCP surgery. The final diagnosis was confirmed by ERCP, pathology and follow-up diagnosis. Results Thirty-nine patients were diagnosed as distal bile duct stone by ERCP, 38 were diagnosed by EUS, and one case was diagnosed as common bile duct bottom tumors by EUS. There were 10 cases were diagnosed as common bile duct bottom tumors by ERCP and surgical pathology, 2 cases were diagnosed as biliary papillomatosis, 2 cases were diagnosed as periampullary carcinoma. There were 11, 0 and 3 cases were diagnosed by EUS. One case was diagnosed as distal bile duct stone, which was diagnosed as common bile duct bottom tumor by EUS. Two cases were diagnosed as papillary tumor of the bile duct, one of which was diagnosed as inflammatory stenosis, another one was diagnosed as periampullary carcinoma by EUS. Results of postoperative follow-up confirmed that 7 cases were duodenal papilla inflammatory stenosis. Eight cases were diagnosed by EUS, one of them was followed up and pathologically diagnosed as biliary papillomatosis by ERCP. The diagnostic accuray was 95%(57/60). Conclusion EUS has higher value in the diagnosis of unexplained bile duct expansion, which especially can improve the diagnostic rate of distal bile duct stone compared with that of MRCP detection, and can guide selectively ERCP, improve the therapeutic effect, and reduce its risk .

A total of 226 strains of organisms was isolated from the cultures of the subeschar unburnt tissues of the burn patients admitted to this institute in the period from April 1980 to April 1982. Among the organisms, gram-negative bacilli exceeded gram-positive cocci in number. The frequently seen gram-negative bacilli, in the order of frequency, were Pseudomonas, Serratia, Klebsialla, and E. coli. And the frequently seen gram-positive cocci were Staphylococcus aureus, Staphylococcus albus, Streptococcus fecalis, and Streptococcus hemolyticus.The quantitative culture of the biopsy specimen showed its value in our clinical application. In cases of multiple infections, after the identification and precise count of the bacterial colonies on the cultures were done, the percentage of the various organisms could be obtained and the main pathogen was revealed.It was pointed out that ordinary culture media were only favorable for rapid growth of bacteria but the existence of fungi was usually masked. A. modified method of fungus culture, tissue thread culture, was used for the early diagnosis of fungus infection. 38 specimens were studied simultaneously with three methods. The positive rate for fungus was 8% in ordinary cultures, 26% in his-tologic examinations, and 61% in tissue thread cultures.Anaerobic culture was performed for 102 swab specimens from the burn wounds and a positive rate of 14.7% was obtained. In addition, anaerobic blood culture was performed in 10 cases of severe burns with 2 positive cultures. It is suggested that anaerobic infections should not be neglected in burns.

To investigate the relationship between platelet-leukocyte aggregates (PLA) and serum high sensitive C-reactive protein (hs-CRP)in type 2 diabetic patients with retinopathy (DR).The blood levels of platelet-neutrophil aggregates( PNA )and platelet-monocyte aggregates ( PMA ) were determined by flow cytometry and serum hs-CRP by ELISA in 30 patients with proliferative diabetic retinopathy( PDR group),30 patients with no-proliferative diabetic retinopathy( NPDR group),25 diabetic patients without DR( DM group),and 30 normal controls.The levels of PNA,PMA,and hs-CRP in PDR group were significantly higher than those in normal control,NPDR,and DM groups.The levels of PNA,PMA,and hs-CRP in NPDR group were significantly higher than those in normal control and DM group( P<0.01 or P<0.05 ).The PNA and PMA were correlated positively with hs-CRP in patients with DR ( r =0.587,0.576 ; P < 0.05 ).The data showed that the levels of PLA and hs-CRP were raised significantly in patients with DR,and the levels of PLA were positively correlated with inflammatory response and the seriousness of DR,suggesting that these findings may play an important role in the development of DR.

Objective To construct an Apoptin prokaryotic vector,aiming to produce antigenic fusion protein Apoptin. Methods The Apoptin gene was amplified from the template of plasmid pSSCHG/NT4-Apoptin-HA2-TAT by PCR.The Apoptin was sub-cloned into the multiple clone sites of plasmid pET-28a(+) to get the prokaryotic vector of pET-28a(+)-Apoptin,which was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3).Expression of E.coli BL21(DE3) was induced by IPTG.The specific protein expression was detected by SDS-PAGE. Results The fusion protein was expressed with high efficiency in E.coli BL21(DE3) transformed by pET-28a(+)-Apoptin after induction with IPTG.The specific fusion protein had an apparent related molecular weight of about 17 000 ku as indicated by SDA-PAGE analysis. Conclusion The Apoptin prokaryotic expression vector with pET-28a(+)-Apoptin can effectively express Apoptin fusion protein,laying a foundation for further study of Apoptin and preparation of antibodies against Apoptin.
