By using cup culture, influence of different strains (ammonium-resistant N2-fixing type, wild type, none N2-fixing type) of Klebsiella oxytoca on the growth of rice seedling was compared. It was discovered that ammonium-resistant N2 -fixing bacteria could excrete some plant growth promoting substance, which could be adsorbed by cation resin. It' s activity wouldn't be affected at 80℃. At optimal concentration, the weight of rice root and seedling were increased by

Objective To summarize the experience and lesson of surgical treatment of acute traumatic brain injury.Methods A total of 516 cases with acute traumatic brain injury treated surgi- cally from January 2001 to December 2004 in our hospital were analyzed retrospectively.Of all,there were 56 cases with simple comminuted depressed fractures,138 with brain contusion and laceration and/ or intracerebral hematoma,122 with epidural hematoma,126 with suhdural hematoma,48 with diffuse brain swelling,18 with open brain injuries and eight with other kind of injury,all of whom were treated with standard large eraniectomy under general anaesthesia.The treatment results were evaluated by Glas- cow Outcome Scale(GOS).Results Of all,standard large craniectomy was performed in 194 cases, of which 304 cases(58.9%)were with good recovery,66(12.8%)with moderate deficit,72(13.9%) with severe deficit,12(2.3%)under persistent vegetative status and 62(12.0%)died 3-6 months after surgery.Conclusions More attention should be paid to surgery for traumatic brain injury.Individual surgical treatment should be performed under surgical principles.

Based on the physiological properties of ammonium-resistant N2-fixingbacterium ( Klebsiella oxytoca NG13/pMC73A), the fermentation technology of it was studied. The basic medium of high-density culture was established, with glucose as carbon source coupled with appropriate nitrogen source and inorganic salts. At the middle and late phase of culture, glucose and ammonia were added to supply carbon source and nitrogen source, stabilizing the pHat 6.5 ~ 6.8. Optimal level of dissolved oxygen was kept by controlling aeration and stirring rate. Bacterium number of Klebsiella oxytoca NG13/pMC73A reached 600 ~ 700 x 10s cfu/mL at the end of culture. Compared with previous technology, bacterium number was increased by more than ten-fold with a comparable culture period.

The ability to induce hypersensity on leaves of tomato and the stability of double-plasmid of an harpin-producing, nitrogen-fixing engineered strain E4 were tested. Hypelsensitivity-inducing experiment indicated that the time and density of hypersensitivity-induction of E4 was similar to those of DH5, the positive control of pCPP430. Although E4 took the same time to induce hypersensitivity as 308R, another positive control of pCPP430, it induced weaker hypersen- sitivity on tobacco leaves. On tomato leaves, there was no difference in time and density of hypersensitivity between E4 and 308R (pCPP430). Results revealed that the two plasmids, pCPP430 and pMC73A, were unstable in host bacteria, with the losing rate of 100% at the 48th generation. The emergence probability of bacteria with either pCPP430 or pMC73A was almost the same.

Objective:The immunological effects of HCV-DNA vaccine with different adjuvants were detected by ELISPOT in mice.Methods:Female BALB/c mice were primed with naked HCV-DNA, HCV-DNA encapsulated by liposome DDAB/EPC or DC-Chol/DOPE, HCV-DNA mixed with Montanide ISA 720 or aluminum hydroxide, respectively, and boosted twice accordingly in a four-week interval. Cytokine production by splenocytes was assessed by ELISPOT.Results:In most cases, splenocytes from mice vaccinated with DDAB/EPC liposome produced more IFN-?. These splenocytes also have significant higher IL-2 production compared with the other groups. In expansion with NS5b, splenocytes from alum group have significance in IL-4 production compared with other groups. The profile of cytokine production revealed that the INF-? overwhelmed IL-4 in naked DNA, DDAB/EPC, and DC-Chol/DOPE groups while IL-4 surmounted IFN-? in alum and Montanide groups.Conclusion:Encapsulation with liposome DDAB/EPC has the strongest adjuvant effect in inducing Th1 dominated immunity. Alum and Montanide can convert the Th1 nature of DNA vaccine to Th2-biased immunity.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effectiveness of treatment of recurrent malignant brain gliomas by surgical excision combined with biodegradable polymers of interstitial chemotherapy.

METHODSIn 30 patients with recurrent malignant brain gliomas, the tumor was surgically removed and Vp-16 biodegradable polymers were implanted during operation in the tumor bed at a dose of 100 - 150 mg. The patients were followed up for 3 - 24 months, and the results were compared with 46 cases with the recurrent malignant brain gliomas who received operation only.

RESULTSAt 3, 6, 12, 24 months after treatment, the recurrent rate was 16.7%, 30%, 50% and 83.3%, respectively; the mortality rate was 6.67%, 20%, 40% and 70%, respectively. All the patients had no apparent side-effects of chemotherapy.

CONCLUSIONSurgical treatment combined with interstitial chemotherapy with biodegradable Vp-16 polymers improves the treatment result of recurrent malignant brain gliomas compared to surgery alone.

Objective To estimate the cancer incidence and mortality in Chongqing in 2014.Methods On basis of the methods and criteria of data quality control made by NCCR,authors compiled and summarized the 2014 tumor registration data reported by 11 registries in Chongqing.The datas which were stratified by area (urban/rural),gender,age and cancer type,incidence and mortality were calculated combined with national population.Results All 11 cancer registries reported 24 506 new cancer cases (14 610 were male and 9 896 were female)in 2014.The crude incidence in Chongqing was 244.66/105 (male was 289.01/105,female was 199.47/105).Sex ratio was 1.45:1.00,male was significantly higher than female.The incidence of lung cancer,colorectum,liver,esophagus,breast,stomach were the top six tumor.The incidence rate of all age groups in 2014 increased with age,the incidence rate increased from 40-44 years old group,and reached the highest incidence rate in the 80-84 years old group.Conclusion The data quality and representativeness in Chongqing tumor registration are gradually improved.Cancer registration as the basis of cancer prevention and control work,play an irreplaceable role.

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of bubble bath coordinating with functional training on the children with spastic cerebral palsy.Methods210 children with spastic cerebral palsy were randomly divided into the treatment group (n=118) and control group (n=92). All children were treated with functional training, acupuncture and other physical therapies. Children in the treatment group were added with bubble bath one time every day, twenty days as one course. Muscular tension was evaluated with modified Ashworth Scale and range of motion was measured before and after treatment.ResultsIn the treatment group, 55 cases were significant, 53 cases were effective, 10 cases were invalid, the total effective rate was 91.5%; in the control group, 26 cases were significant, 46 cases were effective, 20 cases were invalid, the total effective was 78.2%. There was a significant difference between the total effective rates of two groups (P<0.05).ConclusionBubble bath can significantly decrease the muscular tension of children with spastic cerebral palsy.

Objective:To preliminarily study the effect of Louqin Zhisou decoctions with the mechanism of clearing heat and resol-ving phlegm on the blood level of neutrophil elastase ( NE) in the rat model of acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary dis-ease ( AECOPD) . Methods:The rat model of AECOPD was established by passive cigarette smoking, intratracheal instillation of li-popolysacchricle ( LPY) and intranasal instillation of staphylococcus aureus. Totally 60 AECOPD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups, the model control group (n=20), ambrohexel group (n=20), and Louqin Zhisou decoctions group (n=20). NE was detec-ted by ELISA. Results:Compared with that before the treatment, NE in ambrohexel group and Louqin Zhisou decoctions group was de-creased significantly(P<0. 01). Conclusion:Clearing heat and resolving phlegm method probably can decrease NE by reducing air-way mucus hypersecretion and obstruction in AECOPD rats.

OBJECTIVETo observe the expression of urotensin II (UII) on the lung of patients with pulmonary hypertension (PH) with congenital heart disease and investigate the meaning of this phenomenon.

METHODThirty eight patients with CHD were divided into three groups according to pulmonary arterial systolic pressure (PASP) measured in cardiac catheterization and surgery: normal pulmonary pressure group (N group, PASP < 30 mm Hg, n = 10), mild PH group (M group, PASP ≥ 30 mm Hg, n = 15), severe or moderate PH group (S group, PASP ≥ 50 mm Hg, n = 13). The expression of UII protein and UII mRNA in pulmonary arterioles were measured separately by immunohistochemical (IHC) analysis and in situ hybridization (ISH) analysis.

RESULT(1) The results of UIIIHC staining: The UII protein expression of group M was higher than that of group N (20.22 ± 3.58 vs. 14.34 ± 2.18, P < 0.01), but less than group S (20.22 ± 3.58 vs. 28.92 ± 3.22, P < 0.05). (2) The results of UIIISH mRNA staining were similar to IHC staining, the A value of group M was higher than group N (12.51 ± 2.02 vs. 8.85 ± 1.41, P < 0.05), less than that of group S(12.51 ± 2.02 vs. 25.35 ± 4.33, P < 0.01). (3) Correlation study: there was a positive correlation between the A values of UIIIHC and pulmonary hypertension (r = 0.64, P < 0.01, n = 38), a positive correlation between the A values of UIIISH and pulmonary hypertension (r = 0.58, P < 0.01, n = 38).

CONCLUSIONThere was the expression of Urotensin II protein and mRNA in the lung of pulmonary hypertension patients with congenital heart disease, and these expression may involve the formation of pulmonary hypertension of congenital heart disease.
