The study analyzed the compositions of Syngnathus acus L and discussed its anti-fatigue effect. Prepared lipid and enzymatic hydrolysate. The animal experiment methods are such as followed-(1)Enduring capacity experiment. (2)Determining LA (Lactic Acid) concentrations before and after swimming sports. (3)Determining the content of muscle glyco-gen and hepatic glycogen of mice. These experiments showed that lipid and enzymatic hydrolysate are both able to prolong swimming time of mice (P

Research on effects of environmental endocrine disrupting chemicals (EDCs) is an important field in environmental science.The research progress on mechanism of EDCs in environment was present in this paper.Not only the action mechanism of EDCs mediated via receptor was expatiated,but also the interference influencing the synthesis and metabolism of endogenous hormone and the effects of EDCs on neural and immune system were discussed in this paper.This paper will conduce to the further studies on the mechanism of EDCs and the development of screening method for new EDCs.

Due to the presence of various organotins from numerous anthropogenic sources, a widespread human exposure to these pollutants can be suggested. Human exposed to organotins mainly from dietary besides skin and lung absorption. Based on the exposure routes of organotins to human, such as air, drinking water, food and household commodities, the exposure level of organotins to human and its harmful effects were reviewed. Finally, the methods of human risk assessment of organotins were simply introduced, and the primary problems at present were put forward.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of determination of serum carcinoembryonic antigen (CEA) levels for primary liver carcinoma and metastatic liver cancer.Methods Serum CEA levels in 365 patients with liver cancer (273 with HCC and 92 with metastatic liver cancer accordingly) and 33 controls were determined with ELISA. Data were analysed with SPSS.Results Serum CEA levels were (7.52?18.04)?g/L in patients with liver cancer and (0.99?0.79)?g/L in controls. Taking 2.5 ?g/L as the cut-off level,the positive rate was 29.86% and 6.06% respectively. The values were significantly higher than those in controls (P

Objective To investigate the expression and clinical value of miRNA -22 in esophageal and gastric cancer tissues and cell lines.Methods Realtime -PCR was performed to detect the expression of miRNA -22 in human esophageal cancer cell lines ECA109,TE -1,TE -8,TE -13 and normal esophageal epithelial cells HEEC,48 cases of esophageal cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues,human gastric cancer cell lines SGC -7901,MKN -45,NCI -N87,AGS,NUGC -3,SUN -1,normal human gastric mucosa cell line GES -1 and normal stomach fibroblastic cell NSFC,88 cases of gastric cancer tissues and matched adjacent normal tissues.Results The expression of miRNA -22 was much less in four esophageal cancer cell lines than that of immortalized normal esophageal epithelial cells HEEC,and the expression of miRNA -22 was much less in six gastric cancer cell lines than that of gastric mucosal epithelial cell line GES -1 and normal stomach fibroblastic cell line NSFC.The esophageal cancer tissues showed aberrant down regulation of miRNA -22 compared with the adjacent non -tumor tissues [(3.51 ±1.05)vs.(11.23 ±2.95),t =18.13,P <0.05].The gastric cancer tissues showed aberrant down regula-tion of miRNA -22 compared with the adjacent non -tumor tissues [(2.15 ±1.23)vs.(9.14 ±2.86),t =22.93, P <0.05].Conclusion The expression of miRNA -22 was much lower in esophageal and gastric cancer tissues and cell lines,which provided basement to nosogenesis,early diagnosis and create drug treatment of the cancers.

Objective To investigate tbe pharmacodynamics of different local anesthetics administered intrathecally for caesarean section. Methods Ninety-six parturients with singleton term pregnancies undergoing caesarean section under combined spinal-epidural anesthesia were enrolled in this study. The patients were randomly divided into 3 groups ( n = 32 each ) and received intrathecal (IT) 0.5 % bupivacaine, 0.5 %levobupivacaine and 0.5% ropivacaine respectively. The initial doses was 9 mg in all 3 groups. The ratio of two successive doses was 0.9. If the upper sensory block reached T7 or above and there was no need for additional dose in the 45 min after the initial dose, the IT analgesia was considered to be effective. The median effective dose ( ED50 ), the 95 % effective dose( ED95) and 95 % confidence interval (95 % CI )were calculated by Dixon. Results The ED50 and ED95 and 95%CI of bupivacaine were 6.15 (95%CI 5.48-6.68) mg and 7.62 (95%CI 6.91-11.82) mg; of levobupivacaine were 8.06 (95%CI 7.46-8.62) mg and 9.59 (95%CI 8.86-13.42) mg;of ropivacaine were 10.55 (95%CI 9.73-11.49) mg and 12.80 (95%CI 11.66-21.42) mg. The relative potency potency ratio between bupivacaine, levobupivacaine and rupivacaine is 1.00:0.76:0.58.

Objective To investigate the role of vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF)in the pathogenesis of bronchial asthma and chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Methods Thirty patients with stable bronchial asthma (asthma group), 28 patients with stable COPD (COPD group), and 24 healthy subjects (control group) were studied. Lung function, inflammatory cell differentials in sputum and the level of VEGF in induced sputum were determined by induced sputum method and ELISA method respectively. Results The levels of eosinophils in induced sputum in asthma group were 0.9 (0.4-1.4) × 109/L, significantly higher than those in COPD greup[0.1 (0-0.2)×109/L], and control group[0.0(0-0.1) × 109/L] (P < 0.05). The levels of neutrophils in COPD group were 2.3 (1.8-2.8) × 109/L, significantly higher than those in asthma group [1.1 (0.2-1.9) × 109/L], and control group [1.0(0.8-1.2) × 109/L] (P < 0.05). The levels of VEGF in asthma group, COPD group and control group were (2.3 ± 0.5), (0.3 ± 0.1), (0.9 ± 0.2) μg/L, respectively, and significant difference was showed between each group (P < 0.05). The VEGF level in induced sputum was positively correlated with the number of eosinophils in induced sputum in asthma group (γ = 0.62,P < 0.05), and was negatively correlated with FEV<,1>% (γ =-0.56, P < 0.05). The VEGF level in induced sputum was positively correlated with FEV1% in COPD group (γ = 0.43, P < 0.05), and was not correlated with the number of neutrophils in induced sputum (γ = 0.21, P > 0.05). Conclusions The concentration of VEGF in induced sputum increases in patients with bronchial asthma. VEGF may take part in the airway inflammatory development of asthma. The concentration of VEGF in induced sputum decreases in patients with COPD. VEGF may take part in the incidence of COPD.

The clinical characteristics of Churg-Strauss syndrome (CSS) were summarized to improve the understanding of disease and reduce its misdiagnostic rate.Report clinical data,treatment and follow-up of one confirmed case and review the domestic reports of CSS before 2013.Among 94 reported cases,most had initial respiratory symptoms and increased eosinophil was found in peripheral blood of 95.74％ patients.

0.05) between two groups in the above results.Disc agar diffusion test showed the sensitivity rates of overall clinical isolates to gatifloxacin and levofloxacin were 97.56% and 92.68%,respectively.The incidence of adverse drug reactions(ADR) of two groups were 23.91% and 43.75%,respectively.In 5 cases severe ADR were found. CONCLUSIONS Sequential therapy of gatifloxacin may get satisfactory results in lower respiratory tract infections of elder people.The irrational use of drugs is an important factor to increase ADR(including collateral damage).So we should pay attention to the ADR and grasp the indications strictly and use the drugs appropriately,especially for the elder patients.
