The complete mitochondrial genome sequence of Phlaeoba albonema Zheng Was determined by using L-PCR and conserved primers walking sequencing.The obtained genome sequence is 15657 bp in size.containing 13 protein-coding genes,2 ribosomal RNA and 22 transfer RNA genes.All the 37 genes are conserved in the same orientations as observed in Locusta migratoria.11202 bp of the mtDNA are coding for proteins,1486 bp for tRNAs,1312 bp for rRNA large subunit(1rRNA),and 844 bp for rRNA small subunit(srRNA).The A+T-rich region is 728 bp in size.The genes overlapping sequences are 41 bp in total and are spreading over 9 locations(1-8 bp at each site).A total of 126 bp intergenic spacer sequences are scattered in 21 regions at the size of 1 to 20 bp,where the largest 20 bp region iS located between the tRNALys and ATP8 genes.The predicted secondary structures of both srRNA and lrRNA were compared with that of Ruspolia dubia,and the patterns of base pairs in tRNA anticodon stem and A/T,C/G bias of protein-coding genes in different strands were discussed.

Objective To evaluate the effects of percutaneous balloon mitral valvuloplasty (PBMV) on repeated rheumatism attacks after continual anti rheumatic treatment in vain over a long period of time.Methods 23 cases received treatment by PBMV and follow up visits were performed.Results After operation,patients' cardiac function and their physique were improved obviously and the activity of rheumatism ceased after routine anti rheumatic treatment and prevention of streptococcal infection.Follow up visits for 36～81 months showed that mitral re stenosis occurred to only 2 patients.Conclusion Patients with mitral stenosis whose rheumatism attacks repeatedly in spite of longterm anti rheumatic treatment may be treated with PBMV first and then given anti rheumatism.In this way,a better curative effect can be obtained.

Objective To discuss the clinical characteristics,treatment and prognostic factors of brain metastasis from gynecological cancers.Methods Clinical records of 25 brain metastasis patients from gynecological cancers admitted from January 1999 to January 2009 were reviewed retrospectively.The curative effects of different treatments were compared.The prognostic factors were determined using the Cox regression model.Results There were 14 cases ovarian malignant tumor,6 cases cervical carcinoma and 5 cases uterine malignant tumor.Seven cases (28％,7/25 ) had solitary metastatic lesion in the brain.Extracranial metastases were detected in 18 cases (72％,18/25 ).Five patients only received one kind of treatment,and the mean survival time was 4.0 months (0.5 to 9.5 months).Sixteen patients received combined treatment,3 of them received combined treatment including surgery,and the mean survival time was 8.4 months (4.1 to 13.4 months) ; 13 of them received chemotherapy and radiotherapy,and the mean survival time was 14.2 months (4.3 to 58.1 months).Four patients received only palliative supportive care,and the survival time was only 0.1 to 1.0 month.The Cox regression model showed that Karnofsky performance status scale,with or without extracranial metastases and the treatment method were the independent prognostic factors of brain metastasis from gynecological cancers ( P ＜ 0.05 ).Conclusion The incidence of brain metastasis from gynecological cancers is low and the prognosis is very poor.Combined treatments may get better effects.

Objective To investigate the pharmacokinetics ( PK ) and pharmacodynamics ( PD ) processes of rabeprazole in inhibiting gastric acid secretion with the combined PK-PD model. Methods A total of 10 healthy volunteers were given a intravenous infusion of 20 mg rabeprazole over a 30-min period. The concentration of rabeprazole in the plasma at different time points was detected by HPLC,and the PK parameters were calculated by DAS 2. 0 software. At the same time the intragastric pH was monitored over 24 hours to fit the PD parameters with indirect inhibition model. Results The main PK parameters,t1/2,Cmax,and AUC were(60. 5±17. 3)min,(1 299. 1±201. 0)ng·mL-1,and(106. 4±26. 0)mg·min·L-1, respectively.The corresponding PD parameters,Kin,Ke,IC50 and Imax were(8.200±3.362)h-1,(1.080±0.378)h-1,(0.286± 0. 129)mg·L-1 and(6. 93± 2. 15)pH,respectively. Conclusion The PK of rabeprazole in healthy volunteers conforms to one compartment model,and the PD fits the indirect response inhibition model. The equation can effectively establish the relationship between the blood drug concentration and the effect.

Totally 1136 individuals aged over 40 underwent health check up in March to May 2009. Fasting blood glucose, 2-h post-challenge blood glucose, glycated hemoglobin A1c ( HbA1c), total cholesterol, triglyceride, high-density lipoprotein cholesterol, low-density lipoprotein cholesterol and serum uric acid were measured. The diagnosis of metabolic syndrome was based on the International Diabetes Federation Criteria. The results shows that total body fat, region body fat indices, blood pressure, blood glucose and serum uric acid levels increased with the age ( P < 0.01) . The prevalence rate of metabolic syndrome in this group of individuals were 15. 1% (171/1136) , and increased with age (P<0.01). The most common combination of metabolic syndrome was central obesity-hypertension-dyslipidemia (40. 9% , 70/171). Unconditional logistic regression revealed that waist-hip-ratio, body mass index and uric acid were the risk factors for metabolic syndrome.

A total of 1342 individuals underwent physical examinations according to the criteria of metabolic syndrome of International Diabetes Federation (IDF) in 2005.And 314 patients with metabolic disorders were screened for diabetes by standard meal and methods oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT).Newly diagnosed diabetics was 12 (4.1％ ) vs.17 (5.8％) respectively.No significant difference existed between two methods (P =0.332).Kendall's (τ)b =0.313,Kendall's (τ)c =0.208 and Gamma coefficient =0.580 (P =0.000).The mixed meal method was correlated with OGTT,Kappa =0.258 (P =0.000) and two methods were consistent.Diabetic screening should be stressed in the subjects with metabolic abnormalities.And the detecting efficiency of postprandial plasma glucose is similar to OGTT.

Objective To observe the correlation between mating days and pregnancy rate, the vaginal pessary number and the embryos number in female rats, for facilitating the whole planning of the relevant experiments. Methods 70 female Wistar rats were randomly mated with 20 male Wistar rats separately. Mating days and vaginal pessary were recorded. In late stage of the experiment, the number of pregnant rats and embryos were confirmed by post-mortem anatomy. Results Person correlation coefficient of the mating days and pregnancy rate in exhausting pessary rats was 0.83, P<0.05 (P=0.005); person correlation coefficient of the vaginal pessay number and the embryos was 0.16, P>0.05(P=0.18). Conclusion There was linearly dependent relationship between the mating days and pregnancy rate, the pregnancy rate of female rats become 100% when the mating days reached 4 days. But there was no such relationship between the vaginal pessary and the embryo number.

OBJECTIVE To compare the difference of testing cleaning effectiveness in the operation instrument between the eye measurement and hemoglobin enzyme test.METHODS Five batches of instrument after cleaning were tested by two methods.RESULTS By eye inspection,all tested samples were qualified.However there were only 76 percent of samples qualified according to enzyme test.CONCLUSIONS Compared with eye inspection,enzyme test is a more sensitive method.Enzyme test can better assess the cleaning effectiveness than others.

METHODS: The release test of two kinds of lilac-cassiabark Gel(gel A without ?-cyclodextrin inclusion and gel B with ?-cyclodextrin inclusion) was assayed with Franz diffusion cell with the help of the cumulative amount of eugenol in unit area in vitro. RESULTS: The percutaneous absorption process of eugenol in two kinds of gels were conformed to zero-order releasing model,and the transdermal rates were 16.212?4.128 and 11.344?1.929 ?g/(cm~2?h) respectively.Compared with gel A,the transdermal rate of eugenol was slower in gel B(P

Objective To investigate the clinical features, treatments and prognostic factors of rhabdomyosarcoma (RMS) in the female genital tract. Methods A retrospective analysis was performed on 13 cases of RMS in the female genital tract. Clinical characteristics, treatments and prognosis were compared and analyzed statistically. Results The median age was 21.0 years (range, 6 to 54 years). There were 6 cases vaginal RMS and 7 cases cervical RMS, included 11 cases of embryonal RMS (ERMS) and 2 cases of alveolar RMS (ARMS). According to the Federation International of Gynecology and Obstetrics (FIGO)staging system,there were 6 cases of stageⅠ, 3 cases of stageⅡ, 1 case of stageⅢand 3 cases of stage Ⅳ, the median survival time were respectively 112.5, 153.0, 9.0 and 3.5 months. According to the Intergroup Rhabdomyosarcom Study Group (IRSG) staging system, there were 10 cases of stageⅠ and 3 cases of the stage Ⅳ, and their median survival time were respectively 112.5 and 3.5 months. Nine patients received surgery and the median survival time was 108.0 months (range, 9 to 228 months), 6 of them received chemotherapy after surgery and the median survival time was 152.0 months (range, 9 to 228 months), the other 3 cases did not receive any therapy after surgery and the median survival time was 25.0 months (range, 9 to 108 months). Four patients did not receive surgery and the median survival time was 6.3 months (range, 1 to 117 months). There were 2 cases received combined treatment included radiotherapy and the survival time were respectively 4 and 198 months. There were 8 cases who was survival without disease and 5 cases died of cancer. The median survival time in 13 patients was 25.0 months (range, 1 to 228 months) and the 5-year overall survival rate was 58.6%. Conclusions The prognosis of early stage of RMS in the female genital tract is good. While, the prognosis of advanced stage is poor. The standard treatment strategy is combination of surgery and chemotherapy,whether radiotherapy could improve the prognosis still need further study.
