Objective: The effects of two fat substitutes, sucrose polyester(SPE) and triglyceride of short fatty acids(TRIS)on lipid metabolism in rats were studied. Methods: Diets containing either SPE or TRIS were fed to rats for 30d. Male Wistar rats were allowed free access to one of three diets: a control diet containing 20% corn oil, SPE group diet containing 10% SPE and 10% corn oil, TRIS group diet containing 20% TRIS. Plasma glucose, TG, TC, HDL C, LDL C, ApoA I, ApoB were analysed. Results: Dietary fat substitutes lowered total energy consumption and body weight 8.1%?4.1%and 12.3% ?16.0% respectively. Two fat substitutes lowered plasma glucose, TG, TC, LDL C, VLDL C, ApoB level and increased HDL C and ApoA I level. TRIS could decrease TC/HDL C, LDL C/HDL C, ApoB/ApoA I more significantly than SPE. Conclusion: TRIS and SPE have the potential benefits on lipid metabolism and energy intake control in rats, TRIS is more efficient than SPE.

Advanced non-small cell lung cancer(NSCLC)accounts for all NSCLC 45% . In recent years,chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy has become a new standard for NSCLC. On NSCLC radiothera-py and chemotherapy(CRCT),radiation total dose,fractionation method,different chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy have many details in the efficiency and toxicity tolerance,which are still in the exploration.

Phyllosphere and epiphytes have attracted significant interest of more and more researchers by their unique biological characteristics. Progress of research on phyllosphere and epiphytes was summarized in this paper, and the special emphasis was put on the characteristic of phyllosphere, microbial communities, invasion and the location of bacteria on leaf surfaces. Some ideas for further studies on phyllosphere microbes were also proposed.

Objective To observe the effect of new moist dressings on pressure ulcers after spinal cord injury. Methods 58 spinal cord injured patients complicated with pressure ulcers were divided into observation group (n=29) and control group (n=29). The observation group accepted moist dressings, while the control group accepted routine dry dressings, TDP and ultraviolet irradiation. The incidence of im provement were recorded 2 weeks after treatment, and the time of healing were compared. Results 11 cases cured, 17 cases relieved in the observation group, and it was 5 and 18 cases in the control group, respectively (P<0.05). It spent (26.69±16.48) days to cure in the observa tion group, and (38.24±22.47) days in the control group (P<0.05). Conclusion The moist therapy may promote the cure of pressure ulcers af ter spinal cord injury, and shorten the time of cure.

Interferon ( IFN) plays an essential role in antiviral infection.Interferons are divided into different categories according to their structure and function.People have attached increasing importance to TypeⅠinterferon( IFN-Ⅰ) in light of its unusual antiviral mechanism.This review is intended to shed light on IFN-Ⅰ,including its antiviral function,signal pathway and regulation.

Objective To observe the changes of intracellular free calcium and the expression of CaM in the hippocampal neurons of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) rats and to further investigate the neurobiological mechanisms. Methods The SPS-method was used to set up the rat PTSD models. A total of sixty male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 12 hours,1 day,4 days,7 days groups of SPS and normal control group. The intracellular free calcium was examined by fluorescence spectrophotometer. The expression of CaM was detected by using immunohistochemistry, Western blotting and RT-PCR. Results The intracellular free calcium level in the hippocampus of experimental rats was markedly increased 12 hours after SPS stimulation,and reached the peak after 1 day, then gradually decreased to normal level after 7 days. The expression of CaM in the hippocampus 1day after SPS was also the highest and then gradually decreased.Conclusion The lasting dysfunction of Ca~(2+)/CaM signaling cascades in hippocampal may play important roles in the pathogenesis of PTSD rats.

Objective To investigate expression changes of nuclear receptors-glucocorticoid receptors (GR) in the locus ceruleus neurons of posttraumatic stress disorder(PTSD)like rats. Methods Sixty adult healthy male Wistar rats were enrolled in the experiment. PTSD-like rat model was established by single prolonged stress (SPS). There was no SPS stimulation in the control group and the rats of the other five groups were undisturbedly raised for 24 hours, 4 days,7 days,14 days and 28 days respectively after SPS stimulation.The expressions of glucocorticoid receptors in the locus ceruleus nucleus of all groups were detected with Nissl staining, immunohistochemistry,Western blotting and PCR, and image analysis and statistical analysis were performed. Results GR was distributed in the nucleus of coeruleus neurons, GR expression was showed after 24 hours, 4 days, 7 days treatment and gradually increased, restorative downregulation was seen after 14 days and 28 days, but still high(P<0.05). Conclusion After SPS, the GR locus ceruleus temporarily increased and then lowered, suggesting that PTSD rat locus coeruleus neurons in nuclear receptor-GR expression changes may directly involve in the continuing spirit of PTSD symptoms occurred in the development process.
