This paper introduces the working principle of the blood circle treatment system outside the body. A monitoring instrument of plasma leakage suited for the blood circle treatment system outside the body is developed based on the absorption spectrum experiments of plasma leakage. Photoelectric detection technology and virtual instrumentation are utilized in the development. A series of detecting experiments of waste solution containing plasma with continuously changing concentration show the monitoring system possesses a relatively high sensitivity. Moreover, the experiments of continual detection with plasma concentration at one certain point indicate the monitoring system has a quite good stability. The monitoring instrument is adapted to dynamically detecting the plasma leakage when the blood circle treatment system outside the body is working.

The original strain was treated with UV combining LiCl. The total carotenoid yield of the strain UL-61 was 7.62mg/L, the maximal yield of astaxanthin had reached 616.8?g/g under 25℃. 8 variables including fermentation temperature, initial pH were optimized by Plackett-Burman design and Response Surface Analysis of SAS software. The temperature, initial pH and corn steep liquor were the major factors. The optimal conditions were predictted to be 16.78℃, pH4.73 and 7.06 mg/L, respectively. Under these conditions, the theroretical maximal yield of carotenoid was 3.9407 mg/L and the practical maximal yield was about 3.9261mg/L. The carotenoid production was increased by 20.4% when Phaffia rhodozyma was cultivated under the optimal conditions as compared with the control.

OBJECTIVETo observe different degrees of intra-abdominal pressure and different duration on the intestinal permeability and endotoxin/bacteria translocation in rabbit model, so as to explore the mechanism of the development of abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) and MODS.
METHODSRabbit model of intra-abdominal hypertension was established by injection of gaseous nitrogen into the peritoneal cavity. Thirty-nine New Zealand white rabbits were employed in the study. The change in intestinal permeability was determined by fluorescein isothiocyanate dextran (FITC-D) and two kinds of molecular probes of type II horseradish peroxidase (HRP-II). The effects of intra-abdominal hypertension on the endotoxin/bacteria translocation were also detected.
RESULTSThe contents of FITC-D and HRP-II in portal veins increased evidently (P < 0.01) when intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) was higher than 20 mmHg. The endotoxin (ET) content in portal vein in rabbits with IAP of 10 mmHg for 1, 2 and 4 hours exhibited no difference compared with that in normal control, while the ET content increased obviously after 1 hour with IAP of 20 mmHg and increased thereafter along with the prolongation of IAP, and increase in pressure. The bacterial translocation rates were 33.3%, 66.7% and 100% when IAP was maintained at 20 mmHg for 1, 2 and 4 hours, respectively, and there was evidence of bacterial translocation to the liver. The rate of bacterial translocation to intestinal mesenteric lymph nodes was 100% when IAP was 30 mmHg for 1 and 2 hours. There was no bacterial translocation to the spleen in all experimental rabbits.
CONCLUSIONIntestinal mucosal permeability increased significantly with increased endotoxin content in portal vein when IAP was higher than 20 mmHg. At the sane time, the bacteria could be translocate to intestinal mesenteric lymph nodes and liver, which might be constitute one of the important factors leading to the development of ACS and MODS.

In order to establish a method for the determination of the sterols of the oil in the freeze-dried acai (Euterpe oleracea Mart.) and to evaluate its antioxidant activities, a saponification/extraction procedure and high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analysis method were developed and validated for the analysis of phytosterols in PEE (Petroleum ether extract). Separation was achieved on a Purosper STAR LP C18 column with a binary, gradient solvent system of acetonitrile and isopropanol. Evaporative light scattering detection (ELSD) was used to quantify β-sitosterol and the total sterols. Peak identification was verified by retention times and spikes with external standards. Standard curves were constructed (r = 0.999 2) to allow for sample quantification. Recovery of the saponification and extraction was demonstrated via analysis of spiked samples. The highest content of total sterols is β-sitosterol. The antioxidant activities of the extracts were evaluated using the total oxyradical scavenging capacity assay (TOSC assay). The result showed that the PEE exhibited significant antioxidant properties, sample concentration and the antioxidant capacity had a certain relevance.

OBJECTIVETo explore therapeutic effects of modified femoral prosthesis applied in the initial posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty.
METHODSFrom April 1, 2012 to January 1, 2013, 156 patients with knee osteoarthritis underwent posterior stabilized total knee arthroplasty by the same director of orthopedic surgeon. Sixty-one patients were treated with modified femoral prosthesis, including 7 males and 54 females, with an average age of (68.34 +/- 5.41) years old; and 95 patients were treated with conventional designed femoral prosthesis, including 14 males and 81 females, with an average age of (69.92 +/- 5.11) years old. Indexes including age, body mass index, Insall-Salvati index, type of prosthesis, occurrence rate of patella click syndrome, postoperative line of force of lower extremity and postoperative function of the knee joint were observed and recorded. And American Knee Society (AKS) score was used to evaluate the clinical results.
RESULTSAll the patients were followed up, and the duration ranged from 36 to 56 weeks, with a mean of 45.31 weeks. Among patients in the conventional designed femoral prosthesis group, 7 patients had patella click syndrome, but there was no patient having patellar click syndrome in the modified femoral prosthesis group. Postoperative knee activity of patients in the modified femoral prosthesis group was (110.98 +/- 10.32) degrees, which was better than (107.05 +/- 8.61) degrees in the conventional designed femoral prosthesis group. The AKS score in the modified femoral prosthesis group was 129.79 +/- 9.63 during 21 to 28 days after operation, which was higher than 126.85 +/- 7.79 in the conventional designed femoral prosthesis group.
CONCLUSIONNew designed femoral components are effective to reduce the occurrence rate of postoperative patellar click syndrome and obtain better early functional recovery from knee surgery.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), as a common systemic inflammatory autoimmune disease, affects approximately 1 in 100 individuals. Effective treatment for RA is not yet available because current research does not have a clear understanding of the etiology and pathogenesis of RA. Xinfeng Capsule, a patent Chinese herbal medicine, has been used in the treatment of RA in recent years. Despite its reported clinical efficacy, there are no large-sample, multicenter, randomized trials that support the use of Xinfeng Capsule for RA. Therefore, we designed a randomized, double-blind, multicenter, placebo-controlled trial to assess the efficacy and safety of Xinfeng Capsule in the treatment of RA.
