Objective To analyze the clinical data of 20 young and middle-aged patients with bronchial foreign bodies who were hospitalized because of unknown lung shadow. Methods The clinical data of 20 confirmed cases, including history of aspiration, imaging examination results, bronchoscopy findings and therapeutic process were retrospectively analyzed. The outcome of bronchial foreign body granuloma in the airway was observed. Results ⑴100%of the 20 patients with an average age of (46.39±3.26) years were misdiagnosed before bronchoscope examination. (2) The results of chest CT showed that the 20 patients had bronchial stenosis or obstruction with pulmonary consolidation or atelectasis, of which 18 cases were on the right side and 2 on the left side. (3) According to the shape and size of the foreign bodies as well as the length of time of aspiration, the bronchial openings were blocked by foreign bodies in 10 patients, and the foreign bodies were taken out by foreign body forceps. The diagnosis was confirmed in 3-6 (average 4.40±0.92) months in 10 patients. Four patients were obstructed by foreign bodies and granulation tissue, which took 5-12 (average 8.25±2.86) months to diagnose, while in 6 cases, masses were found in tracheal cavity, which took 6-15 (average 10.17±2.85) months to diagnose. The latter 10 (4+6) patients were treated with endotracheal intubation to remove foreign bodies and granulation tissue. (4) After 24-72 hours of treatment, the symptoms of cough, expectoration and blood in the sputum were relieved, and no severe complications occurred in 20 patients. (5) About two weeks after bronchial foreign bodies were removed, the granulation tissue disappeared. Conclusion Foreign body aspiration on the right side is more common in the 20 young and middle-aged patients, and bronchoscope is the best means of diagnosis and treatment.

In order to improve the efficiency of drug screening on serotonin transporter (SERT) inhibitors, a high-throughput screening (HTS) model is established in RBL-2H3 cells. The RBL-2H3 cells are very similar to the serotonin genetic neuro, in modulation of post-receptor mechanisms and transduction pathway of SERT reactivated. Depending on a fluorescence substrate ASP+ used in detection method of inhibitor rates, it's convenient, quick, accurate and effective, not making the environmental biohazard compared with radioactive experiments. Furthermore, biological screening model combined with computer aided virtual screening technique describing high-throughput virtual screening (HTVS). Bayesian classification method and molecular fingerprint similarity were applied to virtual screening technique, for screening compounds in compound library. Some compounds have been found, and then validated further by biological screening model. Combination of HTS and HTVS improves the efficiency of screening SERT inhibitors.

A double targets of high throughput screening model for xanthine oxidase inhibitors and superoxide anion scavengers was established. In the reaction system of xanthine oxidase, WST-1 works as the probe for the ultra oxygen anion generation, and product uric acid works as xanthine oxidase activity indicator. By using SpectraMax M5 continuous spectrum enzyme sign reflectoscope reflector, the changes of these indicators' concentration were observed and the influence factors of this reaction system to establish the high throughput screening model were studied. And the model is confirmed by positive drugs. In the reaction system, the final volume of reaction system is 50 μL and the concentrations of xanthine oxidase is 4 mU x mL(-1), xanthine 250 μmol x L(-1) and WST-1 100 μmol x L(-1), separately. The Z'-factor of model for xanthine oxidase inhibitors is 0.537 4, S/N is 47.519 9; the Z'-factor of model for superoxide anion scavengers is 0.507 4, S/N is 5.388 9. This model for xanthine oxidase inhibitors and superoxide anion scavengers has more common characteristics of the good stability, the fewer reagent types and quantity, the good repeatability, and so on. And it can be widely applied in high-throughput screening research.

This study is to investigate the effect of the effective components group of Xiaoshuantongluo (XECG) on neuronal injury induced by oxygen-glucose deprivation (OGD) in primary cortical cultures isolated from SD rat cortex at day 3 and the possible mechanism. Cells were divided into control group, OGD model group and XECG group (1, 3 and 10 mg x L(-1)). The cell viability was assessed with MTT assay and the LDH release rate was measured by enzyme label kit. The cell apoptosis was analyzed using Hoechst staining. RT-PCR was applied to detect the mRNA levels of JAK2 and STAT3. Western blotting was used to detect the expressions of Bcl-2, Bax, p-JAK2 and p-STAT3 proteins. Results showed that XECG resulted in an obvious resistance to oxygen-glucose deprivation-induced cell apoptosis and decrement of cell viability, decrease the cell LDH release rate. XECG could adjust the expression of Bcl-2 and Bax proteins and increase Bcl-2/Bax ratio, up-regulate the expression of p-JAK2 and p-STAT3. In conclusion, XECG could protect against the neuronal injury cells exposed to OGD, which may be relevant to the promotion of JAK2/STAT3 signaling pathway, and impact the expression of Bax and Bcl-2.
