Objective To investigate the effect of creatine phosphate sodium on postoperative cognitive function of the patients undergoing off-pump coronary artery bypass grafting (OPCABG).Methods Forty patients of both sexes,aged 52-70 yr,weighing 52-84 kg,of American Society of Anesthesiologists physical status Ⅲ,scheduled for elective OPCABG,were divided into either creatine phosphate sodium group (group CPS) or control group (group C) using a randon number table,with 20 patients in each group.Total intravenous anesthesia was applied during operation to maintain bispectral index value at 40-60 and hemodynamics stable.After induction of anesthesia,creatine phosphate sodium 15 mg/kg (in 100 ml of normal saline) was infused over 30 min via the central vein in group CPS,and the equal volume of normal saline was infused over 30 min instead of creatine phosphate sodium in group C.Postoperative visual analogue scale scores were maintained ≤ 3.Before induction of anesthesia,immediately after the end of operation,and at 24 and 48 h after operation,arterial blood samples were collected for determination of serum C-reactive protein concentrations by immunoturbidimetry.The cognitive function was assessed on day 1 before operation and day 7 after operation,and the development of postoperative cognitive dysfunction was recorded.Results Compared with group C,the concentrations of serum C-reactive protein at 24 and 48 h after operation and incidence of postoperative cognitive dysfunction were significantly decreased in group CPS (P＜0.05).Conclusion Creatine phosphate sodium can improve postoperative cognitive function of the patients undergoing OPCABG.

Objective To explore the method and effect of prosthetic replacement for the management of intertrochanteric fracture in the elderly.Methods 24 elderly patients with intertrochanteric fracture were treated with prosthetic replacement.According to the Evans classification,there were 4 cases of Evans Ⅱ,16 Evans Ⅲ and 4 Evans Ⅳ.Results The mean time to ambulation following the surgery was (6.0 ± 2.2) days.No prosthetic loosening or infection were observed in the follow-up of 6 to 27 months(average 12 months).According to the Harris hip score,the excellent and good rate was 83.3％.Conclusion Prosthetic replacement is safe and effective for intertrochanteric fractures in elderly patients,which allows early ambulation and have a relatively low rate of complications.

Thermostable L-arabinose isomerase (L-AI) is the most potential enzyme for the biological production of D-tagatose from D-galactose, a novel functional factor. Gene araA encoding the L-arabinose isomerase from Bacillus stearothermophilis IAM 11001 was cloned and expressed in Escherichia coli. The araA gene of 1491 bp has 95% identity with L-AI from Thermus sp. IM6501. The GenBank accession number for the nucleotide sequence of this araA gene determined in this work is EU394214.The bacterium was induced by IPTG and analyzed by SDS-PAGE, approximately 59 kDa exogenous protein was observed on the SDS-PAGE. The recombinant L-AI was purified to electrophoretical homogeneity with affinity chromatography, and the activity of recombinant L-AI was also studied. The bioconversion rate of D-galactose to D-tagatose reached 39.4% after 24h whole cell reaction.

L-arabinose isomerase (L-AI) can isomerize L-arabinose and D-galactose into L-ribulose and D-tagatose, respectively, which is currently the most effective biological catalyst for D-tagatose production. The crystal structure of L-AI has been solved recently and its gene has been cloned, sequenced and overex- pressed. L-AI improved by protein engineering will be the dominant enzyme for industrial production of D-tagatose. This paper reviewed researches on protein structure and function, properties and application in D-tagatose production of L-AI, and the long-term potential development of L-AI was prospected.

Objective To analyze 4 child patients with 3-methylcrotonyl-coenzyme A carboxylase deficiency (MCCD) identified by neonatal screening and confirmed by urine gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC/MS) and genetic analysis.Methods Newborns whose C4DC + CSOH concentration was above 0.6 μmol/L in newborn screening were recalled for rescreening,and the CADC + C5OH concentrations in their mothers were detected.The child patients suspected with MCCD were further confirmed by urine GC/MS and genetic analysis.Results Three child patients were definitely diagnosed as MCCD by genetic analysis,including 1 MCCD,1 maternal MCCD and 1 paternal MCCD.The other 1 child patient suspected with MCCD had only one allele in MCCC1.Conclusion The mother and father of newborns with elevated C4DC + C5OH identified in neonatal screening should routinely perform MS / MS testing.When only one pathogenic locus is found in the suspected MCCD child patients by genetic analysis,they should be followed up regularly.

To establish a molecular identification method for Bletillae Rhizoma, this paper extracted genome DNA from Bletillae Rhizoma and its adulterants. The sequences of rDNA ITS2 were sequenced after amplifying. Then multiple alignments of ITS2 were constructed phylogenetic tree with Neighbor Joining by MEGA 5. 1 and found out SNPs loci. The result showed that rDNA ITS2 region could identify Bletillae Rhizoma and its adulterants. There existed the SNPs loci, which could identify Bletilla striata and B. ochracea. Furthermore, we designed specific primers against the SNPs loci of B. striata and B. ochracea, then screened primers and optimized the PCR amplification conditions. Finally, the DNA of B. striata and B. ochracea were specifically amplified by BJ59-412F, BJ59-412R and HHBJ-225R. The length of amplification products were respectively about 350 bp and 520 bp that were effectively identified of B. striata and B. ochracea. While, the adulterants of Bletillae Rhizoma were no-reaction occurring. To sum up, the amplification conditions of the primers can identify B. striata, B. ochracea and their adulterants successfully at the same time. This method was easy, time-saving, and reliable, which can be used as a rapid method for molecular identification of Bletillae Rhizoma.

Purpose:To discuss the function of Gd-BOPTA on the deferment of manifestation of MRI,which bring influence to the immune mensuration of antigen PCNA,PTEN.Materials and Methods:Scanning with MRI on the 35 patients with pathologically verified HCC the image were analyzed concretely.Pathologic diagnose was made with Edmondson pathologic classification standard,and it was expressed with index of PCNA and PTEN of immune quantitative analysis.Results: HCC was negatively related to the index of PCNA,and most patients with high index were lightly or not deferred enhanced(13/16),Patients with low index were evidently enhanced ( 10/19).The degree of HCC deferred enhancing was positively related to the expression of PTEN.Most HCCs( 15/17) with negative PTEN were lightly or not deferred enhanced,while positive patients of PTEN were mostly enhanced obviously(11/18).Conclusion: Deferment of Gd-BOPTA can be used to basically estimate the tincture of tumor biology,therefore,the enhanced degree of which,the PCNA,PTEN,can offer great help in choosing the therapuetic method and estimating the outcome of the the therapy.
