ObjectiveThrough the examination of Clostridium difficile (Cd) in the stool of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) patients to investigate its infection status in IBD patients and the relationship with IBD.MethodsFrom December 2009 to January 2011,a total of 130 diagnosed IBD patients were collected in the Department of Gastroenterology,Ruijin Hospital,Shanghai Jiaotong University School of medicine,including 60 ulcerative colitis (UC) patients and 70 Crohn's disease (CD) patients.At same time.60 irritable bowel syndrome patients and 60 healthy volunteers were collected as control.Stool samples were tested by PCR and Cd toxin A/B test kit (CDTK).SPSS statistical software was used for statistical analysis.ResultsIn 130 enrolled IBD patients,16 cases (12.3％) were Cd infected,of which 10 were UC cases (16.7％) and 6 were CD cases (8.6％).No Cd infection was found positive in control group (x2 =15.779,P=0.000).The infection rate of Cd in the patients of active stage was higher than that in the patients of inactive stage (x2 =10.092,P=0.001).The infection rate of coion-type CD patients was 4/14,which was significantly higher than those of other types CD patients (x2 =13.125,P=0.001).The infection rate of Cd was 4.5％ in mild UC patients,14.3％ in moderate and 6/17 in severe (x2 =6.667,P=0.037) ; the infection rate were 0％ in mild CD patients,4.2％ in moderate and 5/16 in severe.The infection rate increased along with the increase of The disease severity (x2 =13.907,P=0.000).There was no significant difference in the infection rate of Cd between broad-spectrum antibiotics used and not used patients (x2 =1.414,P =0.378), or between patients with broad-spectrum antibioticsused aloneand combinedwith immunosuppressant (x2 =0.330,P=0.962).ConclusionsThere was certain infection rate of Cd in IBD patients,especially the patients in active stage. The infection rate increased along with the increase of the IBD severity.

ObjectiveTo observe the influence of Songling Xuemaikang on the hypertension and hemorheology of hyperlipoidemia patients.Methods40 hyperlipoidemia patients randomly divided into Songling Xuemaikang group and jiao gu la zong dai group as a control.The blood lipid and the improvement of hemorheology before and after treatment were compared.ResultsThe efficiency of lipoidemia decrease of treatment and control group is 86.5％and 82.4％,respectively.There was no significant difference between two groups ( P ＞ 0.05 ).The difference of whole blood high shear viscosity,whole blood low shear viscosity,plasma viscosity,whole blood reduced viscosity and fibrinogen between two groups had significant ( P ＜ 0.05 ).ConclusionSongling Xuemaikang had effect on both regulating blood lipid and improving the several indexes of hemorheology.It could be an effective and safe drug for prevention and cure cardiovascular and cerebrovascular disease.

Objective To analyze the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the Rivermead Behavioural Memory Test-Third Edition (RBMT-III). Methods The items of RBMT-III were translated in Chinese and adjusted. A total of 131 healthy subjects were tested with Chinese version of RBMT-III, 30 of them were tested again with other materials two weeks later. Results The Cronbach'sαcoefficient was 0.799. The correlation coefficient of parallel-forms in subtest scale and meory index were all more than 0.65. There were six main fac-tors extracted, which explained 64.47%of the accumulated variance, those were novel task learning, spatial memory, verbal memory, visual memory, prospective memory and orientation/date. Conclusion RBMT-III is a reliable and validated instrument for assessment of memory.

Objective To investigate the effect of Xinmailong injection combined with Qiliqiangxin capsule on serum BNP , NF-kappa B and cystatin C in the treatment of chronic heart failure in the elderly .Methods 78 cases of elderly patients with chronic heart failure were selected and randomly divided into two groups according to the random number table, 39 cases in each group.All patients received basic treatment, the control group received standard treatment, and the study group received more with Xinmailong injection combined with Qiliqiangxin capsule,and levels of serum B-type natriuretic peptide(BNP), cystatin C(CysC) and NF-κB were compared, left ventricular function and 6 min walking test were detected and the clinical curative effect were compared after the treatment.Results Compared with before treatment, levels of serum BNP, CysC and NF-κB in 2 groups decreased(P<0.01), left ventricular ejection fraction(LVEF) increased(P<0.05), left ventricular end-systolic volume(LVESV) reduced(P<0.05), 6 min walking distance increased(P<0.01), scores of symptom decreased(P<0.01), compared with the control group, levels of serum BNP, CysC and NF-κB in study group were lower, LVEF were higher ( P<0.05 ) , levels of LVEDV and LVESV were lower ( P<0.05 ) , scores of 6 min walking distance were higher(P<0.01), scores of symptom were lower (P<0.01), the effective rate was higher(P<0.05).Conclusion Xinmailong injection combined with Qiliqiangxin capsule in the treatment of chronic heart failure in the elderly was effective , and it can improve left ventricular function, the possible mechanism related to the decrease of BNP, CysC and NF-κB levels.

0.70,and the Cronbach's ? value for satisfaction of management domain was 0.44.The ICC of the SRS-22 questionnaire,0.94,0.86,0.77,0.74,0.84,showed a satisfactory reproducibility.Five public factors were obtained by factor analysis compared with the five domains of SRS-22 questionnaire.For the concurrent validity,5 domains had excellent correlation,9 had good correlation,and 26 had correlation.CONCLUSION:The adapted simplified Chinese version of the SRS-22 questionnaire has satisfactory reliability and concurrent validity,and might be suitable for post-operative clinical evaluation of Chinese adolescent scoliosis patients.

Objective To study the photodynamic therapeutical efficacy of a novel photosensitizer DTP on sensitive gastric cancer cells (SGC7901) and vincristine-resistant gastric cancer cells (SGC7901/VCR).Methods The P-gp expression on the SGC7901 and SGC7901/VCR cell membrane was indirectly confirmed by fluorescence microscopy.The survival rates of SGC7901 and SGC7901/VCR cells were evaluated by cell counting kit (CCK-8) after photodynamic therapy with DTP.The intracellular DTP uptake levels of two types of cell were determined using a fluorescence spectrophotometer,and the intracellular DTP distributions were observed by laser scanning confocal microscopy.Results The novel photosensitizer DTP has considerable photodynamic cytotoxic effect on SGC7901 and SGC7901/VCR cells.However,this effect on the SGC7901NCR cells was relatively weak (P＜0.05),and could not be enhanced by P-gp inhibitor verapamil or cyclosporine A(P＞0.05).The DTP uptake level in SGC7901 cells was higher than that in SGC7901/VCR cells (P＜0.05),and could not be enhanced by P-gp inhibitor verapamil and cyclosporin A (P＞0.05).It was found that DTP distributed in the lysosomes of SGC7901 cells and in the lysosomes and mitochondria of SGC7901/VCR cells.Conclusions The novel photosensitizer DTP is not the substrate of multidrug transporter P-gp,and its weaker photodynamic cytotoxic effect on SGC7901/VCR cells is independent of the P-gp overexpression on its cell membrane,which may be related to the distribution of intracellular DTP in the two types of cell.

Dengue virus (DENV) nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) is a highly conserved 46-kDa protein that contains 2 glycosylation sites (Asn-130 and Asn-207) and 12 conserved cysteine (Cys) residues. Here, we performed site-directed mutagenesis to generate systematic mutants of viral strain TSV01. The results of the subsequent analysis showed that an alanine substitution at the second N-linked glycan Asn-207 in NS1 delayed viral RNA synthesis, reduced virus plaque size, and weakened the cytopathic effect. Three mutants at Cys sites (Cys-4, Cys-55, Cys-291) and a C-terminal deletion (ΔC) mutant signiifcantly impaired RNA synthesis, and consequently abolished viral growth, whereas alanine mutations at Asn-130 and Glu-173 resulted in phenotypes that were similar to the wild-type (WT) virus. Further analysis showed that the Asn-207 mutation slightly delayed viral replication. These results suggest that the three conserved disulifde bonds and the second N-linked glycan in NS1 are required for DENV-2 replication.
