A theoretical model for the magnetic forces on ferromagnetic drug particles in a guiding magnetic field is established with the consideration of the electromagnetic field theory. Our model shows that the ferromagnetic drug particles can concentrate on the targeted area with the guidance of the outside magnetic field. Both the distribution of the intensity of the guiding magnetic field and the forces on ferromagnetic drug particles are studied numerically. The theoretical results are in good agreement with the experimental results reported recently.

Objective To know the blood level and the influencing factors for the children living in the area near highway in the mountain region. Methods From December,2006 to April,2007,one hundred and eighteen children aged 8-12 years (exposed group) living in the area near highway in the mountain region and fifty-one children aged 8-12 years (control group) living in the area far away from the highway were selected by random cluster sampling. Lead level of the soil and crops on the highway-sides (pollution area)and the area far away from the highway (control area) was determined. The basic situation was investigated by the questionnaire, the blood lead level was determined by graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometry. The influence of lead on children's intelligence, physical growth and the influencing factors for blood lead level were analyzed. Results The average lead level of the soil [(96.89?15.05) mg/kg] and crops [(0.86?0.29) mg/kg] in the polluted area was significantly higher compared with the control [soil lead: (29.83?1.41)mg/kg,crops lead:(0.17?0.03) mg/kg], and revealed statistical significance respectively (P

Objective To observe the effect ofDanhuai-Yinxie condensed pill on the expression of VEGF and its receptors in the model rabbits with psoriasis.Methods Fourty-two healthy Japanese white rabbits were randomly divided into the control group, the model group, the Acitretin group, and the low-, medium- and high-doses ofDanhuai-Yinxie condensed pill groups. The backs of rabbits’ ears were wiped with 5% propranolol for 4 weeks in the latter four groups, while with saline for the same period in the control group. The rabbits in the Acitretin group were intragastric administrated with 1% Acitretin one day since the models of psoriasis were successed, while the rabbits in the low-, medium- and high-doses ofDanhuai-Yinxie condensed pill groups were intragastric administrated withDanhuai-Yinxie suspension 20, 40, 80 mg/kg daily, respectively. The rabbits in the control and model groups were intragastric administrated with equal-volume saline daily. The expression of VEGF, its receptor 1 (FLT-1) and receptor 2 (KDR) were detected by ELISA method, and the expression of VEGF mRNA was detected by PCR method, dermal papillary vascular density (MVD) and the T lymphocytes proliferation from peripheral blood were detected.Results The expression of VEGF (114.43 ± 952 ng/ml, 109.65 ± 9.15 ng/mlvs. 179.90 ± 11.30 ng/ml), VEGF mRNA (0.83 ± 0.07, 0.80 ± 0.06vs. 2.74 ±  0.15), FLT-1 (4.54 ± 0.26 ng/ml, 4.16 ± 0.24 ng/mlvs. 6.92 ± 0.38 ng/ml), KDR (2.48 ± 0.16 ng/ml, 2.51 ± 0.19 ng/mlvs. 6.79 ± 0.27 ng/ml), MVD (10.12 ± 1.97, 9.83 ± 1.12vs. 16.45 ± 2.05) and T lymphocytes proliferation (87.35% ± 6.29%, 86.21% ± 6.42%vs. 123.74% ± 9.18%) in the medium- and the high-dose groups significant decreased than those in the model group (P<0.05).ConclusionDanhuai-Yinxiecondensed pill could reduce the expression of VEGF, block the binding of VEGF to its receptors, inhibit angiogenesis, inhibit the reconstruction of subcutaneous tissues, reduce the dysplasia of dermal microvessels, and inhibit the proliferation of T cells.

Objective To evaluate the effect of dietary ω-3 polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) supplementation on lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-induced acute lung injury in rats.Methods Totally 58 male SD rats were divided into control group (n =10),model group (n =12),ω-3 PUFA high-dose group (n =12),ω-3PUFA medium-dose group (n =12),and ω-3 PUFA low-dose group (n =12).Seven days before model establishment,rats in the three ω-3 PUFA groups were orally given ω-3 PUFA at 1,0.5,and 0.25 g/kg body weight once per day,respectively,for seven consecutive days.Twenty-four hours after the last administration,all rats except those in the control group were given intravenous injection of LPS (6 mg/kg) at caudal vein to establish the model of acute lung injury.Body temperature was measured at 0,6,and 24 hour.Blood samples were collected from the eye venous plexus for routine blood tests and blood biochemical tests 24 hours after modeling.After the rats were sacrificed,the left lung was harvested for measuring the wet weight and dry weight and calculating the wet/dry weight ratio (W/D).The right lung was harvested for pathological observation under light microscope and calculation of semi-quantitative pathological index (PI).Results Twenty-four hours after modeling,deaths were noted in all groups except the control group.After injection of LPS,rats curled with little movements.At 6 hour,the body temperature was significantly higher in the model group than in the control group [(37.4 ±0.27)℃ vs.(35.9 ±0.05) ℃,P =0.00] ; it was (36.2 ±0.38)℃,(36.3 ±0.30)℃,and (36.3 ± 0.32) ℃ in the ω-3 PUFA high-,medium-,and low-dose groups,which were significantly lower than that in the model group (all P =0.01).The amounts of white blood cells,neutrophils,and lymphocytes increased in the model group,but showing no significant difference compared with the other groups.The serum glutamic oxalacetic transaminase (GOT) and glutamic pyruvic transaminase (GPT) levels were significantly higher in the model group than in the control group [(353 ± 235) U/L vs.(157 ± 55) U/L,P =0.02 ; (141± 103) U/L vs.(54 ±23) U/L,P =0.03] ; the ω-3 PUFA high-dose group had significantly lower GOT and GPT levels than the model group did [(167 ±94) U/L vs.(353 ±235) U/L,P =0.03 ; (63 ±57) U/L vs.(141 ± 103) U/L,P =0.04].The model group had significantly higher lung wet weight [(371 ±38) mg vs.(281 ±24) mg,P=0.01] and W/D value (7.34±1.40 vs.5.41 ±0.84,P=0.01) compared with the control group.Compared with the model group,the W/D value was significantly lower in the ω-3 PUFA high-,medium-,and low-dose groups (6.17 ±0.58,P =0.03; 6.17 ± 0.76,P =0.03; 6.13 ± 1.23,P =0.04).Light microscopy showed that the lung alveoli of the model group presented congestion,obvious expansion,and scattered inflammatory cell infiltration in interstitium,along with significantly increased PI compared with the control group (3.9±0.9 vs.0.0±0.0,P=0.00).The PI value was (2.1 ±0.3),(2.1 ±0.3),and (2.3 ± 0.5) in ω-3 PUFA high-,medium-,and low-dose groups,respectively,all significantly lower than that in the model group (all P =0.01).Conclusions The acute lung injury model could be successful established by intravenous injection of LPS.ω-3 PUFA at different doses can improve the acute lung injury of rats.It is therefore supposed that early enteral administration of ω-3 PUFA can alleviate LPS-induced acute lung injury,although the optimal dosage and timing need further research.

A strain of Cellulosimicrobium cellulans Ha8 was studied on its morphological, biological characteristics and its utilization of several kinds of benzoic compounds, the results showed this strain was Gram-positive, the long rod-shaped cells were changed into short rod-shape gradually. pH value from pH 6.0 to pH 9.0 and the temperature from 20 ℃ to 40 ℃ were good for its growth. It could not only hydrolyze protein and starch, use cellulose and pectin, decomposite chitin, liquify gelatin and fix nitrogen, but also use phenol, xylene, benzoic, cinnamic acids and diphenlamine as the sole carbon resource for its growth. It could tolerate 0 mmol/L~30 mmol/L, 0 mmol/L~8 mmol/L, 0 mmol/L~30 mmol/L, 0 mmol/L~15 mmol/L and 0 mmol/L ~ 40 mmol/L of benzoic acids, phenol, xylene, cinnamic acids and diphenlamine seperately, but could not use 2,4-dinitrophenol, o-Nitrophenol, 2-Methoxyphenol, aminobenzenesulfonic acid, catechol and o-Phenanthroline as its sole carbon resource.

In the reform of medical microbiology education on medical students of 8-year-education pro-gram, we compared the traditional teaching methods with Problem Based Learning (PBL) method. Through our practice, we have found that the combination of traditional lecture-based learning and PBL seems to better match the students’ way of learning. The lack of basic knowledge of the students hindered their learn-ing effect during the bilateral discussion in the PBL education. We also found that the application of PBL in medical microbiology education is an iterative process and should be promoted step by step. The theoretical level and the innovative ideas of the teachers play a crucial role in the dynamic process of education reform.
