OBJECTIVE:To extract and identify the volatile components of the roots of Polyalthia nemoralis,and to evaluate its biological activity in vitro. METHODS:Supercritical CO2 extraction (SFE-CO2) was performed to extract volatile compounds from the roots of P. nemoralis,and the volatile components were separated and determined by GC-MS. Human hepatic cancer Huh-7 cells were cultured with 0(blank control),5,10,20,30,40 and 50 μg(medicinal material)/ml extract for 24 h,and then MTT assay was used to detect the inhibitory effect of the extracts on cells. Relative cell viability and IC50 were calculated. The an-ti-bacterial activities of extract to Staphylococcus aureus,Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus,Enterococcus faecalis and oth-er strain were determined by Kirby-bauer method and broth dilution method. RESULTS:Forty compounds were identified from the SFE-CO2 extracts from the roots of P. nemoralis. The main constituents were(Z,Z,Z)-9,12,15-octa-decatrien-1-ol,glycerin,cinna-maldehyde,n-hexadecanoic acid and eugenol. Compared with blank control group,SFE-CO2 extracts from the roots of P. nemoralis 5 μg(medicinal material)/ml and above showed significant inhibitory effect on cell growth(P<0.05),and the inhibitory effect was strengthened as the concentration of extracts increased,IC50 values was 5.2 μg(medicinal material)/ml. However,the supercritical extract didn't showed antibacterial activity against three microorganisms in 2 kinds of antibacterial tests. CONCLUSIONS:SFE-CO2 and GC-MS method can effectively extract and identify volatile components of the roots of P. nemoralis,and supercritical extracts can inhibit the viability of cells but have no antibacterial activity.

AIM:To observe the effect of fenoterol and ipratropium bromide alone or combined in the treatment of childhood acute paroxysm of asthma.　METHODS: Ninty-five children with acute paroxysm of asthma were divided into 3 groups:group A of 30 children (age 6 a ±s 4 a) received 0.5% fenoterol 2-6 a 0.1 mL, 6-14 a 0.2 mL; group B of 30 children (age 7 a±3 a) received 0.025% ipratropium bromide 2-6 a 0.5 mL, 6-14 a 1 mL; group C of 35 children (age 6 a±3 a) received the same dosage of fenoterol+ipratropium bromide as the other two groups. The drug in 3 groups diluted with 0.9% sodium chloride to 3 mL, aerosol inhalation spray inhalation, tid, for 2-5 d.　RESULTS: The obvious effective rate 63% in group A was similar to that of group B 60% (P>0.05), but was lower than that of group C 86% (P<0.05). The adverse reaction wasn't found in 3 groups.　CONCLUSION: In treating the childhood acute paroxysm of asthma, the effect of fenoterol is similor with ipratropium bromide, but the combination drug gives a better therapy than either drug alone.

BACKGROUND:Stem cel therapy has been used for prevention and treatment of degenerative disc disease. Considering the special microenvironment in the intervertebral disc, the survival rate and differentiation ability of transplanted cels are decreased, which may lead to the poor efficacy of stem cel therapy. How to improve the survival ability and therapeutic effect of the transplanted cels is the focus of stem cel therapy for degenerative disc disease.
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effects of cobalt chloride combined with hypertonic solution pretreatment on bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels that wil be transplanted for treatment of degenerative disc disease.
METHODS:(1)In vitro cel experiment: bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels were divided into three groups and subjected to normal culture medium (normal control group), 1% hypertonic mother solution (hypertonic group), 100 μmol/L cobalt chloride (hypoxia group), or 1% hypertonic mother solution plus 100 μmol/L cobalt chloride (combined group) for 1 week. Then, 2% hypertonic solution and 200 μmol/L cobalt chloride cobalt chloride were used to simulate the anaerobic and hypertonic environment intervenes in pretreated and untreated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels for 24 hours. After that, RT-PCR was used to detect the expression of caspase-3 for apoptosis evaluation. (2)In vivo animal experiment: Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into model, cel transplantation and hypertonic plus hypoxic groups. Rat models of intervertebral disc degeneration were made in these three groups. After modeling, rats in these three groups were given no treatment, bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel transplantation or transplantation of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels which were subjected to hypertonic and hypoxia pretreatments into the intervertebral disc. Two weeks later, immunohistochemistry and RT-PCR methods were used to detect cel distribution and related gene expression, respectively, thereby to evaluate the therapeutic effect of stem cels.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: (1)In vitro cel experiment: caspase-3 mRNA expression was significantly reduced in pretreated bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels compared with the untreated cels (P < 0.05). (2)In vivo animal experiment: compared with the control group, the caspase-3 and interleukin-1β in the intervertebral disc and a number of degenerative indexes were decreased in the cel transplantation. Compared with the cel transplantation group, these indicators had better outcomes in the hypertonic plus hypoxic group (P < 0.05). These findings indicate that bone marrow mesenchymal stem cels have therapeutic potential for degenerative disc disease, and have better adaptability and transplantation effects by hypertonic and hypoxia pretreatments.

Objective To investigate the effects of granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor (GM-CSF) on the generation of human myeloid derived suppressor cells (MDSCs) relied on peripheral blood monocytes,and to establish efficient induction system in vitro of MDSCs.Methods Kidney transplantation recipients between January and March 2017 were included in this study.Purified CD14 + cells isolated from peripheral blood were cultured in the presence of GM-CSF with different concentrations for 7 days.Phenotypes and immunosuppressive abilities of induced MDSCs (iMDSCs) were investigated with FACS analyses.Inducible nitric oxide synthase (iNOS) mRNA expression was detected by qRT-PCR to determine the influence of iNOS-pathway on the immunosuppressive abilities of iMDSCs.Results A total of 11 recipients were included in this study.HLA-DR expression decreased sharply after the culture with GM-CSF.iMDSCs showed the similar phenotype characteristics with monocytic-MDSCs (M-MDSCs) as well as significant ability to suppress T cells proliferation and cytokines production.iMDSCs expressed higher levels of iNOS than monocytes,and the inhibitor effects of iMDSCs were significantly reduced after treatment with L-NMMA (1 mmol/L).The variations of phenotype and suppressive ability were concentrationdependent,and more significant changes could be revealed in the group of 10 μg/L GM-CSF.Conclusion GM-CSF-treated peripheral blood monocytes can be efficiently transformed to M-MDSCs,and suppress T cells proliferation and cytokines secretion via iNOS-dependent pathway.These results may contribute to establish MDSCs induction system,which would provide a basis for the clinical application of MDSCs.

Objective:To investigate the level of rumination and its influential factors among Chinese psychiatry nurses who go through work place violence.Methods:In this study, 150 psychiatry nurses were recruited from Affiliated Brain Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University (specialize in psychiatry), via the combination of convenient sampling and snowball sampling. Chinese Event-related Rumination Inventory (C-ERRI) was applied in the survey.Results:The total score of C-ERRI was (22.11±9.62) points, and the scores of intrusive rumination subscale and deliberate rumination subscale were (12.99±5.58) and (9.12±6.01) points, respectively. Multiple Linear Regression Analysis show that assault frequency in recent year ( B=-3.195, P<0.01) and whether got injury in the recent assault ( B=8.591, P<0.01) were predictors of deliberate rumination, which account for 26.8% variance of the equation. Gender (male) ( B=-2.415, P<0.01), Injury frequency in recent year ( B=2.864, P<0.01) and whether got injury in the recent assault ( B=8.949, P<0.01) were predictors of intrusive rumination. They account for 36.0% variance of the equation. Conclusion:In this study, the level of rumination among Chinese psychiatry nurses was low. Their rumination style was deliberate rumination.

Objective To analyze the clinical features of infants infected by respiratory syncytial virus (RSV) or human rhinovirus (HRV) in lower respiratory tract in Suzhou area based on the month age and the month of the year.Methods From January 2013 to December 2015,2 206 nasopharyngeal aspirates specimens were collected from the infants with lower respiratory tract infection.Direct immunofluorescence assay was performed to test RSV.Reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction(RT-PCR) method was used to test HRV.The medical history was collected and pulmonary function tests were performed in some infants who were infected with RSV and HRV.Results In 2 206 cases,total RSV positive rate was 19.90％ (439/2 206 cases) and simple RSV infection positive was detected in 399 cases.Total HRV positive rate was 14.14％ (312/2 206 cases),in which simple HRV infection positive was detected in 250 cases and the detection rate of RSV was significantly higher than that of HRV(x2 =25.88,P ＜0.05).The incidence rate of wheezing in simple RSV infection was 68.17％ (272/399 cases),which was significantly higher than that of simple HRV infection (42.80％,107/250 cases) (x2 =11.174,P ＜ 0.05).RSV infection was frequent from November to February of the next year in which the detection rate in December was highest with the proportion of 50.00％ (99/198 cases) while the rate in June was only 0.57％ (1/175 cases).The detection rate of HRV was 22.86％ (40/175 cases),20.47％ (35/171 cases) and 20.33％ (25/123 cases) in June,July and September respectively.The detection rate of HRV was lower during December to February of the next year.In January,the detection rate was only 4.68％ (11/235 cases),which was the lowest in the whole year.The detection rates of RSV were 33.33％ (4/12 cases),25.21％ (118/468 cases),23.46％ (84/358 cases) and 23.81％ (60/252 cases) in the age group of 28 d-1 month,＞ 1-2 month,＞ 2-3 month and ＞ 3-4 months respectively.Up to the age of 4 months old,the detection rate decreased gradually,and with the increase of age and the detection rate in ＞ 7-8 month group was only 10.96％ (16/146 cases).The detection rate of HRV was 0 (0/12)and 9.40％ (44/468 cases) in the age group of 28 d1 month,＞ 1-2 month,respectively.After 2 months age old,the detection rate fluctuation ranged from 13.22％ to 16.67％.The incidence rate of severe RSV infection was 12.30％ (54/439 cases) and the incidence rate of severe HRV infection was 5.13％ (16/312 cases).Increased respiratory rate was more common in patients with severe RSV infection while severe HRV infection in infants were accompanied by multiple lobar involvement.After RSV infection,the incidence rate of pulmonary function damage was 89.03％ (276/310 cases).After HRV infection,89.27％ (183/205 cases)of the infants suffered from pulmonary function damage.Both RSV and HRV infection might cause pulmonary function damage.Conclusions RSV and HRV are the major pathogens in infants of Suzhou areas.The incidence of RSV-induced wheezing is significantly higher than that of HRV.RSV is detected positive mainly in winter and early spring and the infants within 4-month old are susceptible population.HRV is detected positive mainly in June,July and September and the infants older than 2 months are susceptible population.The incidence of severe RSV infection is significantly higher than that of HRV.Severe RSV infection may cause increased respiratory rate and severe HRV infection mainly cause multiple lobar involvement.RSV and HRV infection may cause pulmonary function damage.

Objective To approach the clinical presentation,treatment and diagnosis of primary seminal vesicle carcinoma.Methods The records of 4 patients who diagnosed seminal vesicle carcinoma were retrospectively reviewed,including the symptoms signs and examination results as well as operation program,postoperative therapy.Considered to the literature reports.Bilateral seminal vesicles,bladder, prostate and rectum were totally removed in one case.Seminal vosiculectomy and partial cystoprostotectomy were performed in 2 cases,and the another one,bilateral lower ureterectomy and ileum substitute bladder was be done.Results Followed up for 3 months to 5 years,and no recurrence had been observed so far, one died of colon cancer after 2 years.Conclusions Early symptoms of primary seminal vesicle carcinoma are unobvious,so that early diagnosis of seminal vesicle carcinoma is difficult and the misdiagnosis is so usually.Thus,accurate recognition is important for early diagnosis.Radical surgery appears to offer the best chance and different approaches can be selected according to tumor stage and invasive condition of the circumambient organ.Comprehensive treatment like hormonal therapy,along with the 5-fluorouracil,paclitaxel,and oxaliplatin chemotherapy regimen appears to be effective against adenocarcinoma.
