0.4,P0.05)with HHS.[Conclusion]The result of this study suggest that HHS can not capture additional important quality of life domains except for physical function and pain relief that are influenced by THA.So it's necessary to combine HHS and a quality of life survey such as SF-36 to allow a more global assessment of THA.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of fungal septicemia in premature infants in a hospital,and provide reference for clinical diagnosis and treatment.Methods Clinical data of 18 premature infants with fungal septicemia in a hospital between January 2011 and December 2013 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Gesta-tional ages of 18 premature infants were 27-36 weeks,birth weights were 1 050 g-3 100 g,8 of whom were very low birth weight infants(VLBWI);all premature infants were treated with broad-spectrum antimicrobial agents,and were given long-term parenteral nutrition before infection,10 with mechanical ventilation,2 with peripherally insert-ed central catheters(PICC).The main clinical manifestations were apnoea,twitch,feeding difficulty,and poor reac-tion;manifestations appeared 3 hours-52 days after birth.13(72.22%)premature infants had abnormal white blood cell count,12 (66.67%)had thrombocytopenia (< 100 × 109/L),18 (100.00%)had elevated C-reactive protein (CRP),the average CRP level was (41 .90 ±26.77)mg/L.The main pathogens were Candida spp .(n = 17, 94.44%),including Candida parapsilosis (n=7),Candida albicans (n =5 ),biovariety of Candida albicans (n =4),and Candida famata (n=1);premature infants were treated with fluconazol and amphotericin B,15 (83.33%) were cured,2 (11 .11 %)improved,and 1 (5.56%)died.Conclusion Fungal septicemia in premature infants are mainly caused by Candida,there is no specific clinical manifestations,clinical symptoms in premature infants with high risk factors should be closely observed,blood routine and CRP should be detected periodically,timely treat-ment with antifungal agents should be given,which are beneficial to achieve good therapeutic effect.

Objective To explore the clinical diagnosis and treatment of cyclic vomiting syndrome in children.Methods Thirty children proved with cyclic vomiting syndrome admitted from January,1998 to January,2003 were analyzed retrospectively.Results Cyclic vomiting syndrome was most likely to occur in 3-12 years old.The male to female ratio was 3∶2.The clinical manifestations were recurrent vomiting.Twenty-one cases had inducements,while 9 cases had not inducements.It was safe and efficient that curing cyclic vomiting syndrome with cyprohetadine and amitriptyline.Conclusions If these children with cyclic vomiting syndrome are inefficient to treatment,excluding metabolizable diseases,gastrointestinal,neurological diseases,they may be diagnosed cyclic vomiting syndrome,and cured with cyprohetadine and amitriptyline.

Sodium houttuyfonate (SH) is a derivative of effective component of a Chinese material medica, Houttuynia cordata, which is applied in anti-infection of microorganism. But, the antimicrobial mechanisms of SH still remain unclear. Here, we firstly discovered that SH effectively inhibits the three types of virulence related motility of.Pseudomonas aeruginosa, i.e., swimming, twitching and swarming. The plate assay results showed that the inhibitory action of SH against swimming and twitching in 24 h and swarming in 48 h is dose-dependent; and bacteria nearly lost all of the motile activities under the concentration of 1 x minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) (512 mg x L(-1) same as azithromycin positive group (1 x MIC, 16 mg x L(-1)). Furthermore, we found that the expression of structural gene flgB and pilG is down-regulated by SH, which implies that inhibitory mechanism of SH against motility of P. aeruginosa may be due to the inhibition of flagella and pili bioformation of P. aeruginosa by SR Therefore, our presented results firstly demonstrate that SH effectively inhibits the motility activities of P. aeruginosa, and suggest that SH could be a promising antipseudomonas agents in clinic.

PCR-SSCP(single-strand conformation polymorphism) was used for studying the community changes of pronucleus microorganisms in various fermenting stages of Luzhou-flavor Daqu. The results showed:(1) The pronucleus microorganism's community was similar and also had the polymorphism in each simple of various fermentation stage;(2) Different microflora had complex ecology effects of coordination and the restriction;(3) The diversity indexes of different stage of Daqu microorganisms were around 1.69～2.01,and the composition of them was stable relatively;(4) The similarity indexes were 0.67～1.00,and much higher in the approaching stages.

Objective To investigate the suppression effects of Tripotolide (TL) on the pancreatic cancer xenograft models and angiogenesis. Methods The growth suppression effect of TL on SW1990 was determined using cell count kit (CCK-8), apoptotic cells induced by TL were examined by morphology and terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase-mediated nick end labeling (TUNEL) assay. The inhibitory effects of TL on the growth of tumor xenografts and tumor microvascular density (MVD) were investigated. ResultsTL inhibited the growth and proliferation of SW1990 cells in a concentration-dependent and time-dependent manner. The inhibition ratios of cells treated at 160 mg/ml TL for 24 h was 50. 6%, the apoptotic rate increased from 9.6% in the control group to 45.1% (P <0.01 ). The inhibition rate of cancer xenograft growth was 89.9% when TL was intratumorally injected at the dose of 0.5 mg/kg. The expression of VEGF in tumor tissue decreased while MVD also decreased from 36.25±8.64 to 9.87±3.34 (P <0.01 ). ConclusionsTL induced prominent growth inhibition and apoptosis in human pancreatic cancer cell lines. TL.can attenuate the growth of pancreatic caner xenografts through its effect on antiangiogenesis.

Objective To observe the effect of the in vitro isolation, culture and identification of rabbit bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSCs) and explore the differentiation potentials of BMSCs. Methods BMSCs were isolated and purified by density gradient centrifugation combined with attachment culture method. The biological characteristics of BMSCs were observed under an inverted microscope. The BMSCs were identified with HE staining and CD34/CD44 immunohistochemical staining. The biological activity of BMSCs was detected by osteogenic induction and steatogenic induction. Results BMSCs were isolated successfully in vitro and had good homogenicity. Immunohistochemical staining of CD34/CD44 showed strong positive expression of CD44 and negative expression of CD34. Fortis osteogenic ability and positive staining of ALP could be detected by osteogenic induction, and fortis steatogenic ability and positive staining of axungia could be detected by steatogenic induction. Conclusion BMSCs have the capability of multi-directional differentiation in vitro.
