OBJECTIVE: To optimize the preparation process of Xiangsha Liujun Granule. METHODS: By the orthogonal design. taking the rates of recovery of volatile oil, Ginsenoside Re and qualified granules as the indexes, we optimized the oil extracting conditions, the decocting conditions and the conditions of granulation by spayer. RESULTS: The optimum oil ex- tracting conditions for four kinds of herbs(Pericarpium Citri Reticulatae etc.) were that water was 30 times of herbs in weight, soaking time was 3 hours and extracting time 15 hours. The optimum decocting conditions for four kinds of herbs(Fuling etc.) were that water was 15 times of herbs in weight, soaking time was 3 hours and decocting time 4 hours, herbs were decocted twice. The optimum conditions of granulation by sprayer were that the fliud extract was 2 times of Dextrin in weight, the rel- ative density of the fliud extract was 1. 30(measured at 25℃), the voltage of sprayer was 120 volts, the period of shaking bag was 65 times(shaking bag back and forth twice in each period). CONCLUSION: The results of the experiment make it clear that the preparation process of Xiangsha Liu jun Granule is stable and feasible.

Objective To evaluate the diagnostic evaluation of isotropic scanning and Lung Care soft- ware in solitary pulmonary nodules,and to improve the diagnostic accuracy.Methods 52 patients suffered from SPN were included in our study.Two experts in CT analyzed the films.First,they read the axial images and made diagnosis.Then isotropic scanning and lung care software approaches were used on 16 spiral CT and another analysis were made again.The results were compared with pathological diagnosis respectively. Results Spiculated sign,lobulated sign,vessel convergence were found more on isotropic scanning approach, that had significant difference with axial images analysis(P

The influenza A virus matrix protein2 gene(M2)which deleted transmembrane region was amplified by overlap extending PCR,and the multiepitope gene of hemagglutinin(HA)was PCR amplified with seven continuous synthesized segments by designing primer.The two gene segments were separately cloned into pMD18T vector to sequence analysis and prokarytic expression vector pET28a+ to construct the recombinant plasmid pET28a+M2dHA.The recombinant plasmid was transformed into E.coli BL21(DE3),and the high expression strain was obtained by screening monoclones.The recombinant protein existed as inclusion bodies,which accounted about 45% of the total cellular protein.The inclusion bodies were washed with 1% Triton X100 solution twice,and dissolved in 8 mol/L urea solution.The solution protein was purified by Ni+2 affinity chromatography,and refolded by dilution renaturation,then purified by Q Sepharose FF cation exchange column.The purity of the protein was over 90% by HPLC analysis.The result of Western blot showed it has good antigenicity and specificity.These results strongly supported for the further study of the broadspectrum influenza virus subunit vaccine.

BACKGROUND: Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) transplantation has been gradually developed to improve the prognosis of cerebral infarction and its sequelae in clinical trials, which has been identified as effective and safe. A small sample size, however, results in the lack of evidence-based medical evidence.OBJECTIVE: To systematically review the efficacy of MSC transplantation on the prognosis of cerebral infarction. METHODS: In order to collect randomized controlled trials (RCTs) of MSC transplantation for the prognosis of cerebral infarction, we searched Cochrane Library, PubMed, Ovid, CBM, CNKI, WanFang, and VIP Data from its inception to November 2016. Articles addressing MSCs transplantation alone or with conventional drug treatment and/or rehabilitation training versus conventional drug treatment alone or with rehabilitation training were included. Two authors independently screened the literature according to the inclusion and exclusion criteria, extracted data, and assessed the risk of bias. Thereafter, qualitative description and Meta-analysis were performed. RESLUTS AND CONCLUSION: Ten RCTs involving 626 cerebral infarction patients were included in the Meta-analysis. The results showed that the MSCs group was superior to the control group with statistical significance in the daily life ability(Barthel index)[MD=20.06, 95%CI(9.95,30.18),P=0.000 1],motor function(Fugl-Meyer scale)[MD=14.60,95% CI(12.96,16.25),P<0.000 01],personal disability (functional independent measure)[MD=15.16,95%CI(9.06,21.26),P<0.000 01]and neurological deficit score(National Institute of Health stroke scale)[MD=-2.59,95% CI(-3.14,-2.05),P<0.000 01].Low fever and mild headache were reported by four included studies,and waist pain was only by one study, but these symptoms went away by themselves or after symptomatic treatment. Subgroup analysis suggested that MSCs from the bone marrow were superior to those from the umbilical cord and cord blood, but showed a greater heterogeneity. It is suggested that the MSC transplantation ameliorate the prognosis in patients with cerebral infarction, significantly improve the activities of daily living, motor function, personal disability and neurological function, with no presence of serious adverse effects. However, high-quality studies with large sample size are required for further investigation on the clinical application of MSC transplantation.

Objective To express recombinant chicken interleukin 2 (IL-2) in Pichia yeast eukaryotic cell expression system for a massive preparation of chicken IL-2. Methods Spleen lymphocytes taken from Xiaoshan chicken were activated by ConA in vitro. Chicken IL-2 gene was amplified and cloned into pPIC9. The pPIC9-IL-2 was transformed into Pichia yeast by electroporation. The recombinants were induced by methanol for the expression of recombinant protein. Results The protein was examined with SDS-PAGE and Western bloting. A specific molecular weight band at about 30 ku appeared. Conclusion The recombinant protein of chicken IL-2 has been expressed in Pichia yeast.

Objective To evaluate effects of autologous cytokine-induced killer cell (CIK) transfusion on the survival and hepatitics B virus (HBV) reactivation after radiofrequency ablation (RFA) combined with transcatheter arterial chemoembolization (TACE).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on 185 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma treated from Mar 2007 to Oct 2013.Patients were divided into study group (RFA,TACE,CIK) of 98 cases and control group (RFA,TACE) of 87 cases.According to tumor size,numbers and vascular invasion,patients were stratified into 4 subgroups:the high and the low risk group respectively with tumor ≤ 5 cm and ＞ 5 cm.Results The 1-,3-,5-year survival rate between study and control group were not significantly different:75.5％ (74/98),57.1％ (56/98),20.4％ (20/98) vs.71.2％ (62/87),54.0％ (47/87),21.8％ (19/87) (P ＞ 0.05).Only the study group's 1-,3-,5-year survival rate of high risk patients with tumor ≤ 5 cm were higher than the control group:75.0％ (21/28),53.6％ (15/28),35.7 ％ (10/28) vs.61.9％ (13/21),42.9％ (9/21),23.5％ (5/21) (P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of HBV reactivation was lower in dunantiviral patients who received CIK therapy than those who had 6.0％ (3/50) vs.23.5％ (12/61) (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion Postoperative adjuvant CIK therapy with tumor≤5cm after RFA combined with TACE was beneficial to the survival of high risk patients and decreased the risk of HBV reactivation.

Objective To investigate the effects of different clipping time of first time using permanent aneurysm clips on common carotid artery wall in rabbitsMethods Sixty healthy male Japanese white rabbits were selected.The first time permanent aneurysm clips were used to clip common carotid artery for 30 min or 60 min respectively according to the random number method (n=30 in each group).Thirty segments of common carotid artery specimens clipped by aneurysm clips were collected respectively.Mean-Whitney U test was used to conduct the comparison of histopathological damage grade of vascular wall.Results The aneurysm clips were use to clip 30 min and 60 min caused vascular wall injury could observe the middle elastic plastic plate deformation and endothelial denudation.The vascular walls in the clipping 60 min group had local necrosis with inflammatory response,and even rupture of vascular wall.There were significant differences in overall damage degree of vascular wall (U=324.00,P=0.045) and severe injury rate (0%[0/30] vs.20.0%[6/30],P=0.031) between the clipping 30 min group and the clipping 60 min group (all P<0.05).Conclusion The vascular wall injury of using disposable permanent aneurysm clips for clipping 60 min was more severe than 30 min.Attention should be paid to shortening the time of carotid artery occlusion in operation.
