OBJECTIVE: To study the effects of Naomaitong Recipe, a compound Chinese herbal medicine, on the expressions of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-kappaB) and nitric-oxide synthases (NOSs) in brain tissue after focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion in aged rats and the dosage-effect relationship. METHODS: We adopted the middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in aged rats as the focal cerebral ischemia model, with 3-hour ischemia and 12-day reperfusion, and observed the changes of the nerve dysfunction score, the water content of cerebral constitution and the expressions of NF-kappaB, heat-shock protein 70 (HSP70) and NOSs in cerebral cortex. RESULTS: The nerve dysfunction score, the water content of cerebral constitution, the expressions of NF-kappaB, HSP70, neuronal nitric-oxide synthase (nNOS), endothelial nitric-oxide synthase (eNOS) and inducible nitric-oxide synthase (iNOS) in the untreated group were higher than those of the sham-operated group. The nerve dysfunction score, the water content of cerebral constitution, the expressions of NF-kappaB, iNOS and nNOS were lower, while the expressions of HSP70 and eNOS were higher in the high-, medium- and low-dose Naomaitong-treated groups and nimodipine-treated group than those of the untreated-group. The nerve dysfunction score and the expression of nNOS were lower, while the expression of eNOS was higher in the medium-dose Naomaitong-treated group than those of the nimodipine-treated group. The expressions of HSP70 and eNOS were higher, while the other indices were lower in the medium-dose Naomaitong-treated group than those of the low-dose Naomaitong-treated group. CONCLUSION: Naomaitong Recipe can protect the brain cells from damage after focal cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury by adjusting the expressions of NF-kappaB, HSP70 and NOSs, and the medium-dose Naomaitong Recipe is more effective.

Objective: To investigate constitutional and phys ical stamina status in soldiers with different adaption periods in Tibetan areas . Methods: Two hundred and eithty-two male soldiers from a barr acks at an elevation of 3 600 m were divided into 2 groups: the veteran group ( n=143) in Tibet for 1.45±0.22 year, and the recruit group (n=139) in Ti bet for 0.33±0.00 years. The test items included body weight, cirumference, st a nding long jump, chin-up, 100 m dash and 3 000 m jogging, all were evaluated ac cording to the national military standard, which were Comprehensive Evaluation o f Health in Troops, and Examination and Evaluation of the Physical Stamina of So ldiers. Results: The physical stamina indexes of both the vetera ns and the recruits were up to the national military norm on the whole, ranking as moderate. The veteran group showed no significant difference in standing long jump and 100 m dash,（P<0.05), but obvious lower level in chin-up and 3 00 0 m jogging（P<0.01）, compared with the national military norm. The recr ui t group showed significant lower level in chin-up, 100 m dash, 3 000 m jogging as compared with the national military norm（P<0.01）, and also significant lower level in chin-up and 3 000 m jogging （P<0.05 or P<0.01) as compa red with the veteran group. Conclusion: The physical stamina of both the veterans and the recruits meet the basic national military requirements , ranking as moderate. The soldiers who have been in service for over 1 year hav e better explosive force, but they need more tolerance and aerobic exercises. Th e newly recruited need more exercise to raise tolerance to the hypoxic environme nt in plateau areas so as to shorten the adaption time to high altitude.

20 cases of artificial total hip joint rebuilding were selected, all of which were unilateral total hip joint rebuilding. Harris scores before and after the surgery and hip joint activity evaluation were carried out to the pa-tients. The average follow-up duration was 1 to 2 years. Up to the last follow-up,the activity of hip joint had been obviously improved compared with that before the operation. Through X-ray, the phenomena such as radiolucent zone around the prosthesis,prosthesis shift or osteolysis around the prosthesis haven't been seen. The short-term clinical effect of artificial total hip joint rebuilding was obvious for patients with hailure of first total hip joint re-placement caused by various reasons.

Objective To explore an effective method for establishing femoral head necrosis models in young dog and to evaluate osteogenesis of vascular pedicled periosteum transplanted in the repairment offemoral head necrosis of young dogs.Methods Animal models of femoral head necrosis were established by liguting and destroying femoral neck artery circles as well as freezing femoral heads with liquid nitrogen in 29 dogs.At 4 weeks, the animal models of femoral head necrosis were evaluated through X-ray, MRI, ECT,and 2 dogs were randomly executed and detectd by histology examination, then 29 dogs were divided randomly into experimental group(n = 12), control group(n = 9 )and blank group(n = 8).Dogs in the experimental group were treated with the vascular pedicled periosteum from isolateral great trochanter, dogs in the control group were treated with the vascular pedicled bone from isolateral great trochanter, and the blank group were without any treatment.4,8, 12 weeks postoperation,these femoral heads were examined morphologically, radiologieally(X-ray, MRI, ECT) and histologically.All animals were executed and detectd by histology at 12 weeks to observe the repairs of necrotic femoral heads at different periods.Results Twelve weeks postoperation, dogs femoral head figurations in the experimental group were normal, MRI signals were odds in femoral head, ECT studies shows decreased radionuclide compared with contralateral femoral head;capillary vessel and osteoblast multiplication and new traboeulacs were matured in histology examination.Dogs femoral head figurations in the contral group were irregular, MRI revealed high-low signals intermix in femoral head, ECT revealed obviously decreased radionuclide, osteoblast actived, new trabeculac and lipocyte were observed in histology examination.In blank group, femoral head figurations were distorted and sunk, while MRI signals were low, ECT showed no radionuclide uptaking.Collapsed trabeculas and many vacant bone lacuna were observed in HE staining.Dogs femoral head figurations in the blank group taken on distortion andsunk, MRI signals were low, without radionuclide revealed uptake, trabeculac collapse, many bone lacuna were vacant.At the same time, radionuclide counts of vascular pedicled periosteums/vascular pedicled bones in ECT were significantly different between experimental group and control group(P < 0.01 ).Conclusion The vascular pedicled periosteum has higher osteogenesis capability compared with the vascular pedicled bone and can effectively repair the femoral head necrosis of young dogs by this means.

Horizontal gene transfer (HGT), also Lateral gene transfer (LGT), is any process in which an organism transfers genetic material to another species that is not its offspring. With the increase of available genomic data, it has become more convenient to study the way to detect the genes, which are products of horizontal transfers among a given genome. There are few data about known horizontal gene transfers in three bacterium genomes under consideration, so the experiments, which simulated gene transfer by artificially inserting phage genes, were carried out. Combining the feature analysis methods of gene sequences with support vector machine (SVM), a novel method was developed for identifying horizontal gene transfers (HGT) in 3 fully sequenced bacterium genomes (Escherichia coli K12, Borrelia burgdorferi, Bacillus cereus ZK). According to our previous work, codon use frequency (FCU) was selected as the sequence feature, in respect that it is inherently the fusion of both codon usage bias and amino acid composition signals. In addition, another computational method was proposed considering strand asymmetry and predicting horizontal gene transfers of leading strand and lagging strand of genomes under consideration, respectively. To avoid the occasionality of simulating gene transfer through artificially inserting phage genes, 100 times of the transfer-and-recover experiment were repeated and arithmetic average of measurement for each genome being considered were reported to evaluate algorithm's performance. Ten-fold cross-validation was used for both parameter and accuracy estimation. The best results were obtained for C-Support Vector Classification (C-SVC) type by using the radial basis function kernel with ?=100, while for one-class SVM type the best performance was obtained using the polynomial kernel of three degree. The performance of the approach was compared with that of Tsirigos' method ,which is one of the best predictive approachs to date in detecting of horizontal transfer genes. Firstly, for the original method that did not consider the strand asymmetry, the C-SVC type has a high relative improvement(RI) of 31.47% on hit ratio for Escherichia coli K12, while the one-class SVM type has RI of 11.61% for Borrelia burgdorferi. Moreover, as theoretically expected, the method considering the strand asymmetry resulted in higher RI than the original method. In order to examine the approach's performance in detecting factual gene transfer events, the approach was applied in genome of Enterococcus faecalis V583. It is not only succeed in recovering all the seven factual horizontally transferred genes, also found that the whole segment from 7 kb upstream of gene EF2293 to 38 kb downstream of gene EF2299 was probably transferred into E. faecalis V583 genome simultaneously with the above seven genes.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic values of CT in xanthogranulomatous cholecystitis (XGC).Methods Retrospective analysis was performed in 4 patients with pathology confirmed XGC. Abdomen CT scans with and without contrast enhancement were performed in all patients. Results Only 1 case was correctly diagnosed before surgery. CT findings included gallbladder enlargement (3 patients), gallbladder wall thickening ( 4 patients), gallstone (1 patient), and common bile duct stone (1 patient). The maximum wall thickness was between 4 mm and 30 mm, with irregular low-density layer inside. Mucosal line was normal in 2 and pericholecystic infiltration in 1. After contrast administration, hypodense band sign was revealed in 2 and rim enhancement sign around the nodules was shown in 1 at arterial phase. Conclusion CT features of hypodense band sign and rim enhancement sign around the nodules in the arterial phase of contrast enhanced CT are strongly suggestive of XGC.
