In the present study we measured the lipid peroxide content in plasma and lung homogenate by Yagi's method, and analyzed the composition of surfactant phospholipid and surface activity of pulmonary surfactant by thin layer chrom-otography and by Wilhelmy's film balance.The results showed that the lipid peroxide level was increased in plasma and lung homogenate; licithine,tysopho-spholipidcholine and phosphatidylethanolamine were decreased in bronchial-alveolar lavege fluid; and pulmonary surfactant surface activity was lowered.The findings suggest that decreased surface activity may result from the decrease of disaturated phospholipidcholine, which may be due to its impaired synthesis.

Objective To study the relationship between peripheral blood regulatory T cells CD4 + and the antiviral effect in the patients with chronic hepatitis C.Methods 128 patients with chronic hepatitis C after antiviral treatment and follow-up were col-lected as the experimental group,the peripheral blood was respectively extracted before treatment and after treatment and at 24-week follow-up.The flow cytometry was adopted to detect CD4 + percentage.Moreover the liver function indexes and HCV-RNA quantitation were detected.80 individuals were selected as the normal control group.Results HCV-RNA quantitation,AST,ALT, CD4 + (%)had statistical differences between the the experimental group and the control group(P <0.05);the HCV-RNA quantita-tion,AST,ALT,CD4 + (%)levels after treatment and 24-week follow-up in the experiment group were significantly decreased(P <0.05).Conclusion The antiviral treatment can effectively reduce the damage of chronic hepatitis C,raise the cure rate,reduce the liver damage.The peripheral blood CD4 + regulatory T cells can be used as the index of the antiviral treatment efficacy and hepatitis C virus(HCV)infection.

Objective To study the retrieved human allografts pathologically in order to probe into the histological changes of implanted allograft. Methods The specimens were retrieved from seven cases between February 2003 and March 2004, and the allografts had been in situ from two to 16 months. Of seven cases, four were diagnosed primarily as malignant fibrohistocytoma of proximal humerus, osteosarcoma of femoral shaft, bone giant cell tumor of distal femur and bone giant cell tumor of proximal tibia each, which were treated with wide resection of tumor and massive allograft transplantation and internal fixation of plate or inter-locking nail; two were open comminuted fracture of distal femur, treated with massive allograft transplantation and internal fixation, underwent autograft bone transplantation because of united massive allograft, had a punch biopsy of allografts for observation; one was tibial open fracture being fixated with inter-locking nail and small segment allograft transplantation, sustained infection at two weeks after primary operation and underwent debriment, removal of internal fixation and external fixation. Results Of seven cases, five were found with bone absorption radiographically, and were classified into three types:1)sever bone absorption; 2)bone absorption associated with sinus and effusion of the wound; 3)bone absorption accompanied by pyogenic infection. The later condition was caused by bacterial infection without a relationship of allograft. And the former two conditions could be classified into two subtypes: 1)osteoclastic absorption, which was followed by new bone formation; 2)inflammatory absorption, which was found with infiltration by round inflammatory cell, preponderantly lymphocytes, and mononuclear phagocytes with few osteoclasts, osteoblasts or new bone formations. Moreover, in sever bone absorption, vascular lesions such as vasculitis, swelling of endothelial cells or proliferation changes in the vessels, and obliteration of the arteries. Conclusion An intensive infiltration accompanied by vascular lesions may be the evidences of histological changes suggestive of an immune reaction directed against the grafts, and the failure of the clinical outcomes.

High-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC) was used to high performance separate and prepare lignans from Schisandrae chinensis fructus. The solvent system is composed of n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (9 : 1 : 5 : 5) and n-hexane-ethyl acetate-methanol-water (9 : 1 : 9 : 5), speed is at 900 r.min-1, and flow rate is at 2.0 mL.min-1. Five fractions from Schisandrae chinensis fructus extract were separated and prepared with one HSCCC process. They were identified as schisandrin, gomisin J, schisandrol B, schisantherin A and deoxyschizandrin by electrospray ionization-multiple tandem mass spectrometry (ESI-MSn), respectively. Their contents were obtained in 98.74%, 94.32%, 99.53%, 94.23% and 98.68% by ultra high performance liquid chromatography (UPLC), separately. The rapid and simple method can be applied for the preparation of lignans from Schisandrae chinensis fructus.

AIM　The purpose is to construct D-hydantoinase genetic engineering strain for the purpose of the industrial production of D-p-hydroxyphenylglycine. METHODS　D-hydantoinase gene was created from Pseudomonas putida 9801 by PCR technique and inserted into pMD18-T vector. The recombinant plasmid was transformed into several Escherichia coli strains. The positive transformants with D-hydantoinase activity were obtained by the two step screening, digoxigenin DNA labeling in situ hybridization and D-hydantoinase activity assay. RESULTS　The D-hydantoinase activity of the genetic engineering strain E.coli BL21/pMD-dht was 1700 U*L-1 and increased as high as 8 times compared with those of wild-type strain Pseudomonas putida 9801. The subunit molecular weight of recombinant D-hydantoinase was about 53 kDa measured by SDS-PAGE. The amount of the recombinant D-hydantoinase was about 20 percent of total bacterial soluble proteins. CONCLUSION　The genetic engineering strain E.coli BL21/pMD-dht possesses the initial industrial production prospects.

Objective To observe the changes of urine microalbumin (mAlb), renal function and intima-media thickness(IMT) of the carotid artery in prehypertensive patients and investigate whether there are related target organ damage. Methods From August 2009 to May 2010,one hundred and eighty patients were recruited into the study and divided into 3 groups according to the 2005 revised edition of guideline for prevention and treatment of hypertension in China: Sixty normotensive subjects ( NT group,41 males, 19 females,mean age [54. 6 ± 12. 3] years old) ;Sixty prehypertensive patients( PH group,32 males,28 females,mean age [57.0 ± 12.7] years old) and 60 hypertensive patients ( EH group, 28 males, 32 females, mean age [65.0 ±12. 1] years old). Urine mAlb, serum creatinine(Cr) and IMT of the carotid artery were measured and compared among the three groups. The relationships between prehypertension and urine mAlb,serum Cr, IMT of the carotid artery were analyzed. Results In the NT group, PH group and EH group, the urine mAlb concentrations were ( 15.3 ± 7.5 ) mg/L, ( 24. 6 ± 10. 7 ) mg/L and ( 37.3 ± 20. 4) mg/L respectively ;serum Cr were ( 68.0 ± 16. 5 )μmol/L, (81.9 ± 14.9)μmol/L and (95.8 ± 22.5)μmol/L respectively; IMT of the carotid artery were ( 1.46 ± 0. 67 ) mm, ( 1.79 ± 0. 74 ) mm and( 2. 34 ± 0. 78 ) mm respectively. Urine mAlb, serum Cr and IMT of the carotid artery were significantly higher in the PH group and EH group when compared to NT group ( P ＜0. 05 or 0. 01 ); and in the EH group these indices were also significantly higher than those in the PH group( P ＜0. 01 ). Multiple linear regression analysis showed that after adjusted age, body mass index (BMI), blood pressure( BP), serum lipid and serum glucose, in the PH group,the standard partial regression coefficients of correlation between urine mAlb and systolic blood pressure (SBP), diastolic blood pressure(DBP) and serum glucose were 0. 279,0. 259 and 0. 360 respectively ( P = 0. 012, 0. 043 and ＜ 0. 001 ); the standard partial regression coefficients of correlation between serum Cr and SBP, DBP and serum glucose were 0. 317,0. 257 and 0. 377 respectively ( P = 0. 006,0. 049 and ＜ 0. 001 ). The standard partial regression coefficients of correlation between IMT of the carotid artery and age, SBP, DBP, total cholesterol and serum glucose were 0. 381,0. 375,0. 263,0. 265 and 0. 372 respectively( P ＜ 0. 001, ＜ 0. 001, = 0. 033,0. 021 and ＜ 0. 001 ). In the EH group, the standard partial regression coefficients of correlation between urine mAlb and SBP, DBP and serum glucose were 0. 378,0. 258 and 0. 283 respectively( P ＜ 0. 001, = 0. 046, and 0. 009); the standard partial regression coefficients of correlation between serum Cr and SBP, DBP and serum glucose were 0. 294,0. 261 and 0. 464respectively (P =0. 008,0. 042 and ＜0. 001 ) ;the standard partial regression coefficients of correlation between IMT of the carotid artery and age, SBP, high density lipoprotein cholesterol and serum glucose were 0. 262,0. 264, -0. 374 and 0. 306 respectively ( P = 0. 035,0. 023, ＜ 0. 001 and 0. 007 ). We found that both urine mAlb and serum Cr were significantly associated with BP and serum glucose; IMT of the carotid artery was significantly associated with age, BP, serum lipid and serum glucose. Conclusion Urine mAlb, serum Cr andIMT of the carotid artery increased in prehypertensive patients, and these indices were significantly associatedwith the level of the BP. These data indicated there were related target organ damage occurred in prehypertensive patients,the BP level was the risk factor that increased urine mAlb,serum Cr and IMT of the carotid artery.
