Aim To observe the influence of emodin on bleomycin-induced pulmonary fibrosis in rats, and explore its protective mechanisms. Methods Sixty SD rats were randomly divided into normal control group, sham operation group, model group, low-dose inter-vention group, high-dose intervention group and pred-nisone group. Each group included 10 animals. Rats in the latter 4 groups were intratracheally administered with bleomycin to establish pulmonary fibrosis model. From the second day, rats in low-and high-dose inter-vention groups were intragastrically treated with 2 mL of 20 and 80 mg · kg-1 emodin, respectively. Predni-sone group were intragastrically administrated with 2 mL of 5 mg·kg-1 prednisone acetate. However, con-trol and model groups were treated with 2 mL of normal saline. All rats were sacrificed on day 28. Pulmonary tissues were then removed, and HE and Masson stai-ning were performed. The contents of hydroxyproline ( HYP ) , malondialdehyde ( MDA ) , superoxide dis-mutase ( SOD) , glutathione-peroxidase ( GSH-Px) and catalase (CAT) in pulmonary tissues were measured. Serum concentrations of tumor necrosis factor-α ( TNF-α) , interleukin ( IL )-6 and IL-17 were detected by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay ( ELISA ) . The expression of Kelch-like ECH-associated protein 1 ( Keap 1 ) , nuclear factor-erythroid 2-related factor 2 (Nrf2) and nuclear factor-κB (NF-κB) p65 in pulmo-nary tissues was analyzed using Western blot. Results The pulmonary inflammation and fibrosis in low-and high-dose intervention as well as prednisone groups was significantly improved when compared with model group ( P<0. 05 , 0. 01 ) . In comparison with normal control group or sham operation group, pulmonary HYP and MDA contents, Nrf2 and NF-κB p65 expression levels in the nucleus, and serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-17 were increased ( P <0. 01 ) , but pulmonary SOD, GSH-Px and CAT contents and Keap 1 expression levels in the cytoplasm were de-creased ( P <0. 01 ) in model group. Upon treatment with low-and high-dose emodin or prednisone, pulmo-nary HYP and MDA contents, Keap 1 expression levels in the cytoplasm, NF-κB p65 expression levels in the nucleus , and serum concentrations of TNF-α, IL-6 and IL-17 were reduced while pulmonary SOD, GSH-Px and CAT contents and Nrf2 expression levels in the nu-cleus were enhanced as compared to model group ( P<0. 01 ) . The above indicators were significantly im-proved in high-dose intervention and prednisone groups compared with low-dose intervention group ( P <0. 05). Nevertheless, There was no significant differ-ence between high-dose intervention group and predni-sone group ( P >0. 05 ) . Conclusion Emodin may protect against rats with pulmonary fibrosis by enhan-cing antioxidative ability and inhibiting inflammatory response.

Endostatin(ES), the C-terminal fragment of collagen XVIII, is a potent angiogenesis inhibitor. At present, there are a large number of research papers on ES. It has already been on clinical stage Ⅱ and been widely used in inhibition of neovascularization(NV). However, how to improve the bioactivity of ES is still a matter of ongoing discussion. The objective of this review is to elucidate the relationship between the modified ES and ocular neovascualrization, and to discuss the superiority based on the structure modification. The structure can be changed either by covalent modification or by genetical mutation. It is proposed that the secondary structral ES enhance the anti-angiogenic activity. Studies on modified ES also shed light on our understanding of the molecular action mechanisms of ES. Modified ES may be exploited as a new angiogenesis inhibitor for therapeutic applica-tions, in substitution of the native ES. Activity

Objective　To find out the infection of brucella among local people.Methods　To implement requirement of brucella surveillance program according to the prevention and cure of brucella document.From 1996-1998,continous surveillance of the group people aged 7～60 years was done.Results　Three years surveillance showed that in Yuli county the brucella average infection rate is 13.11%,the rate of contracting disease is 2.62%.Such disease happened among different profession and different kinds of people.It shows that the brucela infection has transferred and diffused from pasturing area to rural section and town.Conclusions　The ways is to adopt the available prevention and cure ways,to avoid the source of brucella infection,to strengthen the prevention and cure of the brucella infection among the animals,to improve people's protection consciousness,to reduce the harm that disease done to people.

Objective To investigate the drug resistant genes and genotypes of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae in Tianjin First Center Hospital. Methods A total of 52 strains of carbapenem-non-susceptible Klebsiella pneumoniae were collected from 2012 to 2015. The MICs of antimicrobial drugs were detected using agar dilution methods. Phenotypes of carbapenemases were screened using modified Hodge test. Drug resistant genes were detected by multiplex-PCR assay. Multilocus sequence typing ( MLST) was used to determine the genotypes and homology of these carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae strains. Results Susceptibility of antimicrobial agents indicated that all these strains with multiple drug resistance. The resistance rate to piperacillin/tazobactam, ceftriaxone, ceftazidime, cefepime, aztreonam imipenem,meropenem was 100%( 52/52 ) . The resistance rate of ST11 type to amikacin was 93. 5%( 43/46), ciprofloxacin was 97. 8%(45/46), levofloxacin was 97. 8%(45/46), compound sulfamethoxazole was 17. 4%(8/46), tigecycline was 0. The resistance rate of ST101 type to amikacin was 3/3, ciprofloxacin was 2/3, levofloxacin was 3/3, compound sulfamethoxazole was 3/3, tigecycline was 0. The resistance rate of ST709 type to amikacin was 1/1, ciprofloxacin was 1/1, levofloxacin was 1/1, compound sulfamethoxazole was 1/1, tigecycline was 0. The resistance rate of ST1393 type to amikacin was 1/1, ciprofloxacin was 1/1, levofloxacin was 1/1, compound sulfamethoxazole was 1/1, tigecycline was 0. The resistance rate of ST2068 type to amikacin was 1/1, ciprofloxacin was 1/1, levofloxacin was 1/1, compound sulfamethoxazole was 1/1, tigecycline was 0. PCR results showed that 43 isolates were blaKPC-2 positive and 5 isolates were blaOXA-48 positive, 1 isolate was blaDNM-1 positive. There were 46 strains of ST11 type. The 43 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae producing KPC-2 type carbapenemase were all ST11. While among 5 strains of Klebsiella pneumoniae carrying OXA-48 carbapenem resistant gene, 3 strains were ST101, 1 was ST709, 1 was ST1393. One strain of Klebsiella pneumoniae harboring DNM-1 type carbapenemase was ST2068. Conclusions Drug resistant genes of carbapenem-resistant Klebsiella pneumoniae were KPC-2 dominant, OXA-48 and DNM-1 were sporadical;the genotype was mainly ST11 by MLST in the hospital. The research provided effective basic and reference for the hospital infection t control.
