Object To study the chemical constituents of the root bark of Lycium chinense Mill Methods Various chromatographic techniques were used to separate and purify the constituents Their structures were elucidated on the physico chemical properties and spectral data Results Five compounds were isolated from the root bark of L chinense and identified as vanillic acid (Ⅰ), apigenin (Ⅱ), linarin (Ⅲ), glucosyringic acid (Ⅳ) and digupigan A (Ⅴ) Conclusion Digupigan A is a new compound. Except vanillic acid, others were isolated from this plant for the first time

Objective To investigate the expression of Ki-67 in bladder transitional cell carcinoma and its relationship with grade and stage. Methods Immunohistochemistry method were used to detect the expression of Ki-67 in bladder transitional cell carcinoma and control groups. Results The positive expression rate of Ki-67 antigen in 60 cases of bladder cancer, 20 cases of benign bladder disease and 10 cases normal bladder mucosa were 25.9 %, 10.3 % and 1.1 %. There were significantly difference among each group. The more grade and stage, the greater expression of Ki-67 antigen. Conclusion Ki-67 antigen is related to cell proliferation. The expression of the Ki-67 antigen in bladder cancer is closely related to the grade extent of tumor, and it is an important cell proliferation indicator. As a signal, Ki-67 antigen reflects cell proliferation, measurement of the expression of the Ki-67 antigen could reflect the condition of tumor cell proliferation. It might be an important prognostic factor for judging the occurrence, development and prognosis of the tumor.

Aim To investigate the expression of GRKs in rats of synovial tissue with collagen-induced arthritis(CIA) and the effect of total glucosides of paeony.Methods SD rats were divided into six groups including normal,model,TGP(25,50,100 mg?kg-1)groups,GTW(40 mg?kg-1)group.Chicken type Ⅱ collagen was used to induce CIA in rats.The expression of GRKs was detected by Westernblot.Results The expression of GRK2,5,6 increased in model group than that in normal group.Compared with the model group,the expression of GRK2,5,6 decreased in TGP groups.Conclusion In rats of synovial tissue with CIA,the expression of GRKs was abnormal,and TGP could change the variation of GRKs which may be one of the mechanisms of TGP improvement CIA.

The tumor necrosis factor receptor (TNF-R)-associated factor (TRAF )is an important of multifunctional intracellular signal transduction factors.TRAFs involve in signal transduction of many receptor families,including TNF receptor family (TN-FR),Toll-like receptors interleukin-1 receptors (TLR-IL-1R) family and so on.TRAFs play important roles in innate immunity and acquired immunity.TRAFs could directly or indirectly re-cruit the intracellular domains of receptors in the condition of ac-tivated receptor,which leads to the activation of transcription factors,such as NF-κB and interferon-regulatory factor (IRF), through signaling pathway.And TRAFs ultimately induce im-mune and inflammatory responses and involve in the development of inflammatory autoimmune diseases.

Objective To explore the epidemiology,etiology and prevention strategy of early respiratory infections (≤1 month) in lung transplantation recipients with donation after cardiac death donors.Method The clinical data of donors and recipients,particularly on early respiratory infections,were retrospectively analyzed in 17 lung transplantations.Result From Jan.2015 to Apr.2015,12 episodes of early respiratory infections (≤ 1 month) in 17 lung transplantation recipients occurred (12/17,70.6％).The organisms most frequently involved were bacteria:Pseudomonas aeruginosa (4/26,15.4％),Klebsiella pneumoniae (4/26,15.4％),Staphylococcus aureus (3/26,11.5％),and Acinetobacter baumannii (3/26,11.5％).Of 26 bacterial strains,3 were Methecillin resistant Staphlococcus aureus,3 were carbapenem resistant Acinetobacter baumanni,2 were carbapenem resistant Pseudomonas cepacia,2 were extended spectrum b-lactamase-producing Klebsiella pneumoniae,and one was carbapenem and quinolone resistant Pseudomonas aeruginosa.Conclusion The morbidity of early infections is high in lung transplantation recipients.In our experience,bacterial respiratory infections are most common in the early post-transplant period (≤ 1 month).Incidence of Aspergillus spp.and Cytomegalovirus pneumonia is lower than before lung transplantation,probably due to the spread of universal prophylaxis.

BACKGROUND:Embryo viability assessment is directly related to the selection of embryo transplantation and clinical outcome of assisted reproduction.
OBJECTIVE:To summarize the assessment methods for early embryonic development.
METHODS:The first author searched PubMed database for relevant articles published from January 1990 to
December 2013 using the keywords of“assisted reproductive technology, art;pre-implantation embryo;embryonic development viability;evaluation methods”in English. Final y, 63 articles were included in result analysis.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:In the embryo quality evaluation, the most widely used method is morphological evaluation method which is characterized as rapid, non-invasive, and simple. With the development of assisted reproductive technology, the morphological evaluation combined with time-lapse imaging analysis system has been recognized in embryo selection. Recently, targeted-metabolic analysis has been proposed as a useful tool for assessment of embryo development potential, involving pyruvate acid, glycometabolism, amino acid, and embryo-derived cytokines (soluble human leukocyte antigen G1, platelet-activating factor, etc.). Furthermore, the pre-implantation genetic screening method targeting gene and chromosome abnormality is expected to find more effective markers for evaluating embryo developmental potential.

Objective To evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of gamma knife in treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia Methods Retrospectively analysis of 120 cases with primary trigeminal neuralgia treated by gamma knife in our department From Jan. 2003 to Mar. 2008 were performed. All cases were treated with the 4 mm collimator and targeted at the proximal nerve at the root entry zone located by MRI. The target dose varied from 80 -90 Gy. Results After a follow-up of 20. 0 ±4. 5 months, complete relief of pain occurred in 69 patients (57. 5%), 50% -90% relief in 34 (28. 3%), relief less than 50% in 12(10.0%) but no relief in 5(4.2 %).The efficient rate was 95. 8% . The common complications include numbness, absence of corneal reflex. 83 patients (69. 2%) experienced temporal facial numbness and 14 patients (11. 7%) reported continuous numbness after treatment of the gamma knife. Conclusions Gamma knife radiosurgery is a minimally invasive technique for the treatment of primary trigeminal neuralgia with few complications.

Using morphometry and impregnation technique of lanthanum nitrate,acomparative investigation on the epidermis structure of high and low electricresistance skin points was carried out in mice and rabbits at both light and electronmicroscope level,with special emphasis on the structure of gap junctions in epidermis.It was observed that the frequency of gap junctions in low resistance points wassignificantly higher,and their diameter was larger than that in high resistancepoints,while no difference was found in other structure parameters examinedbetween the two types of skin points.It is assumed that the gap junctions may bethe structure basis for the difference in skin electric resistance.

An elemental diet, commercially named Elementalio, contains an amino acid mixture and many other essential nutrients. The amino acid mixture is prepared from hydrolysis of swine blood and supplemented with certain crystalline L-amino acid. The animal experiments suggest that it has a better nutritional effect than other domestic elemental diets in terms of body weight gain, nitrogen balance and correction of hypoproteinemia.
