Objective To make comparisons of the three models of acute and chronic rheumatic carditis to find out an optimal animal model.Methods AntigenⅠwas a emulsifier mixed by complete freund’ s adjuvant( CFA) and Group A streptococcus(GAS).AntigenⅡwas mixed by incomplete freund’s adjuvant(IFA) and GAS.Female Lewis rats were randomly divided into four groups: A, B, C treatmeat groups were immuned with antigenⅠat the foot pad firstly. Subsequently, rats in group A、B、C were injected antigenⅠ, antigenⅡand activated GAS respectively to make the models of RHD.Rats in control group D were immunized with the same protocol outlined as treatment groups but without GAS. Respectively 7, 12, 24 weeks the rats were sacrificed 24 ( each group was 6).The blood biochemical item and Hematoxylin-eosin( HE) staining of hearts were detected.Results In group C the mortality was 25%.In group A, the incidence of carditis was the highest.Histopathological manifestations of group A, C was not only revealed acute damage such as inflammatory cell infiltrate as well as group B, but also the Aschofflike cells in the myocardial cells interstitial.But in group A and C there had a great degree of the inflammatory cells infiltration than group B.At 24th week rats in group A detected the rate and degree of valve fibrosis in chronic damage were higher than group B and C.None of rats in group D presented carditis or valvulitis.Conclusion In group A, giving the GAS with continuous stimulation after using the mixed emulsification of CFA and GAS to immune Lewis rats for five times was a appropriate method which could provide an optimal animal model for experimental study of acute and chronic rheumatic heart disease.

Objective To explore the application of B-mode intra- and post-operative ultrasound in patients with traumatic brain injuries. Methods B-mode intra- and post-operative ultrasound were performed 35 times in 24 patients, including 7 times of intra-operation in 7 patients and 28 times of post-operation in 17 patients. Results During operation epidural hematomas in 3 cases as well as intracranial hematomas in 2 cases, subdural hematomas in 1 case, diffused brain swelling in 1 case were found. After operation epidural hematomas were examined in 4 cases as well as subdural hematomas in 1 case, delayed intracranial hematomas in 6 cases, scattered contusion and laceration of the brain in 12 cases, acute obstructive hydrocephalus in 1 case, and subdural hydroma in 4 cases. Six cases underwent operations again because of delayed hematomas, contusion and laceration of the brain. B-mode ultrasound was compared with CT scan and the total coincidence rate was 85.4%.Conclusions B-mode ultrasound is helpful to examine delayed hematomas and other emergent complications. It may save time and may improve rescue rate and has a good coincidence with CT scan. B-mode ultrasound may be widely used as a routine way in neurotrauma ICU.

Objective To investigate the renal pelvic pressure(RPP) during minimally invasivepereutaneous nephrolithotomy(MPCNL),and inspect its influence to postoperative fever. MethodsThe RPP was measured by baroeeptor,and these data about pressure and postoperative fever wereevaluated statistically. Results The mean RPP was 14.72 mm Hg,the mean accumulative time of RPP≥30 mm Hg was 116.06 s. Fifteen cases(18. 75%)had a postoperative fever. Logistical analysissuggested that postoperative fever did not correlate to sex(P=0.195),age(P=0.641),urinary tractinfection (P=0.663),white blood cell≥10 × 109/L in blood routine examination postoperatively (P=0.751),once an occurrence of RPP≥40 mm Hg(P=0.662),while infection calculi (P=0.000),percutaneous tract size(P=0.029),mean RPP(P=0.036) ,mean RPP≥20 mm Hg(P=0.013),accumulative time of RPP≥30 mm Hg(P=0.010) and RPP≥30 mm Hg longer than 50 s(P=0.024)contributed to postoperative fever. Conclusions Renal pelvic pressure generally remains lower than alevel to back flow (30 mm Hg) during MPCNL. A transient renal pelvic pressure≥30 mm Hg don'tcountribute to postoperative fever,while a temporary high pressure status(50 s)would had an accumulated effect which means an enough back flow to bring a fever.

Objective: To establish an ion chromatography (IC) method to determine the content of chloride ion and sulfate ion in ethylparaben, and evaluate the quality status of chloride ion and sulfate ion in ethylparaben at different levels.Methods: Ion chromatograph was used.The column was Dionex IonPac AS 18 (250 mm ×4 mm,5 μm) using potassium hydroxide as the mobile phase with gradient elution, the flow rate was 1.0 ml·min-1 , the injection volume was 25 μl, and the quantitative method was standard curve.Results: The method showed good linear relationship within the range of 0.02-4.00 μg·ml-1 for chloride ion (r=0.999 9) and 0.10-10.00μg·ml-1 for sulfate ion (r=0.999 5).The average recovery was 90.12% (RSD=3.4%) and 85.54% (RSD=6.2%) for chloride ion and sulfate ion, respectively (n =9).The content range of chloride ion and sulfate ion was 0.000 3%-0.015 7% and 0.000 9%-0.024 4% in 63 batches of samples, respectively.Conclusion: The established method is simple, fast and accurate, which can be used to determine the contents of chloride ion and sulfate ion in ethylparaben and is helpful to its quality control.

Objective To study the bioavailability and bioequivalence of erythromycin ethylsuccinate granules in healthy male volunteers.Methods In a randomized two-period crossover study,20 healthy male volunteers received single 500 mg test and reference formulations of erythromyein ethylsuccinate granules.The plasma concentrations of erythromycin were assayed by microbiological method.Results The parameters of test and reference preparations were as follows:T_(max)(0.86?0.22)and (0.80?0.13)h,C_(max)(2.13?0.64)and(2.16?0.61)mg/L,t_(1/2)(2.04?0.2)and(1.97?0.4)h,AUC_(0-t)(4.96?1.73)and(4.63?1.52)mg?h/L,respectively.There was no significant difference between the two preparations.The rela- tive bioavailahility of the test granules was(109.1?22.8)%.Conclusions The two preparations of erythromycin ethylsucci- nate granules are bioequivalent.

The key technology of the device for the viviperception of the animal mesenteric microcirculation is to simulate the celiac environment in the device. The technical requirements of the device for microcirculation viviperception are that the observation box should be able to "keep warm, preserve moisture, continually perfuse, and fix the sample"; and the lighting should be "intense", "convergence", and "cool". After actual application, it was found that the newly designed and developed the device by research personnel of Wannan Medical College for the viviperception of the animal mesenteric microcirculation can meet the technical requirements, which is able to "keep warm, preserve moisture, continually perfuse, and fix the sample", and using LED lamp as the microscope light source is "intense", "convergence", and "cool". This device is ingenious and reasonable in design, stable in technology, convenient in operation, and competent in microcirculation viviperception. It solves the technical problem to simulate the celiac environment for mesenteric microcirculation viviperception. The device provides convenience to observe and study the microcirculation, which is worth to be applicated widely.

P300/CBP-associated factor(PCAF),an important member of histone acetyltransferase family(HATs) within eukaryotic cells,is capable of inducing the acetylation of histone,promoting the transcription of specific genes and involving in many biological effects.In the present study,full-length cDNA of PCAF was inserted into plasmid pGEX-5x-1,then the soluble protein GST-PCAF was expressed in E.coli BL21(DE3) after the optimization of inducing conditions.The recombinant protein was further purified with affinity chromatography and tested the activity by in vitro acetylation assays.High efficient PCAF protein produced by this method could serve for the study on the role of PCAF in gene regulation and the interaction between PCAF and other proteins.

Forest musk deer is one of the large-scale farming musk deer animals with the largest population at the same time. The male musk deer can secrete valuable medicines, which has high medicinal and economic value. Due to the loss of habitat and indiscriminate hunting, the numbers of wild population specie and the distribution have been drastically reduced. Therefore, in-depth understanding of the molecular genetics progress of forest musk deer will pave a way for musk deer protection and breeding. In this review, the progress associated with the molecular marker, genetic classification, artificial breeding, musk secretion and disease in past decades were reviewed, in order to provide a theoretical basis for subsequent molecular genetic researches in forest musk deer.
