The paper is aimed to study the difference in yield and quality at different harvest time and determine the optimum harvest of planting Gentiana in Ludian traditional harvest period. The authors analyzed the variation in fresh weight, dry weight, dry discount rate, length, diameter, volume and the content of gentiopicroside, loganin acid, alcohol-soluble extract and total ash and made a comprehensive appraisal of yield, appearance quality and intrinsic quality by gray relational distance ideal Comprehensive Evaluation method. The results showed that there is a big difference in yield and quality both 2-year-old and 3-year-old Gentiana harvested in traditional harvest period and the comprehensive evaluation more better when harvested more later. It can be seen, Gentiana harvested the later had a better yield and quality in Ludian traditional harvest period. The harvest of Gentiana can be appropriate delayed depending on the particular circumstances of production.

In order to select high quality and suitable Bupleuri Radix varieties in Qingchuan, and establish a new comprehensive method to evaluation the quality of Bupleuri Radix, 12 characters of 14 samples were evaluated by DTOPSIS and grey related degree. The results showed that varieties No. 8 and No. 10 had high quality. DTOPSIS and grey related degree gave the uniformity result, and the biggest difference of value of Ci in DTOPSIS method was 46. 33% , but the biggest difference of the weighting correlation number( r (i)) in grey related degree was only 13.10%. The DTOPSIS combined with grey related degree can evaluate the quality of Bupleuri Radix comprehensively and objectively.

Objective To choose the appropriate operation for patients with Sylvian fissure arachnoid cysts.Methods The data of 87 patients with intracranial arachnoid cysts(67 male,20 female,mean age 13.4 years),admitted to out hospital from March 2003 to August 2008,were retrospectively analyzed.Forty of them accepted simple endoscopic neurosurgery;19 of them accepted endoscope-controlled neurosurgery;22 of them accepted microsurgery.The efficacy and complications of these 3 methods were analyzed and compared.Results No significant differences on age,the size of the cysts,postoperative complications,the decreased size of the cysts and the improvement were found among these 3 methods(P>0.05).The operation time and bleeding volume of the simple endoscopic neurosurgery group were 97±26.8 min and 15±4.8 mL;the endoscope-controlled neurosurgery group were 87±27.6 min and 18±5.7 mL;the microsurgery group were 143±36.0 min and 160±39.6 mL.As compared with those in the first 2 groups,the operation time was statistically longer and the bleeding volume was obviously increased in the later group(P<0.05);while no significant difference of those was found between the first 2 groups(P>0.05).Conclusion Endoscopic neurosurgery is an effective method with shorter operation time and less bleeding than craniotomy in treating the Sylvian fissure arachnoid cysts.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the incidence of the temporary and permanent sensory disturbance of the inferorbital nerve (ION) after Le Fort I osteotomy.

METHODSThirty patients with 60 inferorbital nerves were examined preoperatively, 1 week, 1 month, 3 months and 6-months after the operation of the Le Fort I osteotomy by using sharp-blunt testing, 2-point discrimination, electric pain response test (ZGK-1 electrometer).

RESULTSThe incidence of the temporary nerve impairment was 75% (45 of 60) and the obvious recovery was found after 1 to 3 months after the operation. No permanent sensory disturbance was found in the patients.

CONCLUSIONSThe inferorbital nerve injury after Le Fort I osteotomy is usually temporary and the sensory recovery was in 1 to 3 months after the operation.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the characteristics of circulatory disturbance and treatment of severe hand-foot-and-mouth disease (HFMD).

METHODThe clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, therapy and outcome of 22 severe HFMD patients were retrospectively analyzed.

RESULTAll the 22 severe HFMD patients came from the countryside. All these patients had encephalitis. Fifteen cases had myocardial injury. All had symptoms of sympathetic excitation and 17 cases had hypertension [(128 ± 16)/(81 ± 14) mm Hg (1 mm Hg = 0.133 kPa)]. Fourteen cases had exacerbation with rapid decline of blood pressure [(61 ± 12)/(33 ± 12) mm Hg]. In cardiorespiratory failure stage, 13 patients had neurogenic pulmonary edema accompanied by circulatory failure and 12 cases had a lower glasgow scores (less than 7). Myocardial injury and ECG change were found in some cases. Inotropic and pressor drugs were given in patients with circulatory collapse. Five cases received fluid resuscitation due to refractoriness to inotropic drugs. Nine patients received blood purification. Seventeen survived and 5 cases died due to circulatory failure.

CONCLUSIONCirculation failure of severe HFMD is the main cause of death. Early and appropriate circulation support is very important to reduce mortality.

UNLABELLEDThe purpose of this study was to evaluate the effects of cellular immunity activation on P58(+) cells expressing killer cell inhibitory receptor (KIR) and their regulatory function on cellular immunity, and provid theoretical data for preventing graft-vers-host disease (GVHD) in stem cell transplantation therapy. The mononuclear cells from human peripheral blood were incubated with IL-2, Con A and Lipostin (LP) for 72 hours. The KIR expressing cells, P58.1(+) and P58.2(+) cells, were analyzed by flow cytometry. The results showed that the percentages of CD3(+), CD4(+), CD8(+), CD16(+)CD56(+), P58.1(+) and P58.2(+) cells were greatly increased after treated with IL-2, Con A and LP, separately or in combination, and the percentages of above cells in combined treatment groups were higher than those of single stimulated groups, especially the percentage of cells in the IL-2 + LP group was significantly higher than those in IL-2 and LP singly treated groups.

IN CONCLUSIONIL-2, Con A and LP possess the ability to induce the expression of KIR and stimulate proliferation of P58.1(+) and P58.2(+) cells while to activate the celluar immunity response, the expression of P58 gene may be regulated by the activation of cellular immunity.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the composition and morphology of the stones in the enlarged prostatic utricle (EPU).

METHODSWe took out 36 EPU stones from 11 patients by transurethral fenestration between 1992 and 2011, and analyzed the stones by scanning electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction (XRD) and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIS).

RESULTSUnder the scanning electron microscope, all the EPU stones were constituted of many intensive minicrystals and amorphous matrix. XRD and FTIS revealed that all were hydroxyapatite crystal.

CONCLUSIONEPU stones belong to the category of prostatic pseudo-calculi, whose formation is ascribed not to the abnormal change of urine composition, but to the continuous secretion, absorption and concentration of EPU liquid and ablated epithelial cells from the EPU.

Caenorhabditis elegans hid-1 gene was first identified in a screen for mutants with a high-temperature-induced dauer formation (Hid) phenotype. Despite the fact that the hid-1 gene encodes a novel protein (HID-1) which is highly conserved from Caenorhabditis elegans to mammals, the domain structure, subcellular localization, and exact function of HID-1 remain unknown. Previous studies and various bioinformatic softwares predicted that HID-1 contained many transmembrane domains but no known functional domain. In this study, we revealed that mammalian HID-1 localized to the medial- and trans- Golgi apparatus as well as the cytosol, and the localization was sensitive to brefeldin A treatment. Next, we demonstrated that HID-1 was a peripheral membrane protein and dynamically shuttled between the Golgi apparatus and the cytosol. Finally, we verified that a conserved N-terminal myristoylation site was required for HID-1 binding to the Golgi apparatus. We propose that HID-1 is probably involved in the intracellular trafficking within the Golgi region.
