Objective To study the radiation protection effect of sugar polyphenols A obtained by structured modification using mouse model of radiation injury induced by 137Cs γ-ray.Methods Total 42 male Kunming mice aged 4-6 weeks were randomly divided into six groups:negative control group (NCG),positive control group (PCG),irradiation control group (ICG) as well as three irradiation experimental groups.The radiation injury model was developed by once whole-body irradiation with 6.0 Gy 137Cs γ-ray.The mice in three experimental groups were fed sugar polyphenols A respectively with doses of 0.05,0.10 and 0.20 g/kg,for 14 d before irradiation,and continuously fed with the drug for 7 d after the irradiation.After that the mice were sacrificed,and the organ index,hematological parameters,spleen colony number,bone marrow DNA content and nucleated cells in bone-marrow were tested to evaluate the effect of sugar polyphenols A.Results Compared with the ICG,the irradiation experimental groups with the sugar polyphenols A doses of 0.05,0.10,0.20 g/kg showed reductions in irradiation injuries of immune system and hematopoietic system,which makes the significant increases of the spleen indexes (Z=-2.364,-3.003 and -2.747,P＜0.05) and the number of endogenous spleen colony (Z=-2.458,-2.141 and-2.206,P＜0.05).In the groups with the doses of 0.05 and 0.2 g/kg,the number of white blood cells were significantly increased (Z=-2.652 and-2.139,P＜0.05).Besides,in the group with the dose of 0.2 g/kg,the level of red blood cells (Z=-2.364,P＜0.05),bone marrow DNA content (Z=-2.492,P＜0.05) and nucleated cells in bone-marrow (Z=-2.492,P＜0.05) were also increased compared with the ICG.Conclusions Sugar polyphenols A has the positive effects on the recovery of immune and hematopoietic function of mice through improving the organ index,endogenous spleen colony number,peripheral white blood cell number,bone marrow DNA content and nucleated cells in bone-marrow,which can reduce the injury induced by ionizing radiation.

Objective To investigate the feasibility of high?resolution microendoscopy( HRME) im?aging for animal gastrointestinal mucosa. Methods Mucosal tissues were harvested from the stomach, small intestine, and large intestine of Japanese big?ear white rabbits. The effects of HRME imaging of different lo?cations such as the gastric antrum and fundus, small intestine and large intestine were observed, and those of different exposure time were compared.Accuracy of HRME imaging was compared with pathology. Results The specific tissues of the gastrointestinal mucosa could be clearly distinguished from the HRME images. In the superficial layer of the fundic mucosa, numerous closely arranged glands as well as oval or elongated branched openings of the gastric pits and linear peripheral cracks were visible;the nuclei were arranged reg?ularly. In the superficial layer of the antral mucosa, irregular or tubular openings of the gastric pits and cracked glandular cavities were visible, with the cells surrounding the gastric pits regularly arranged and the nuclei small and densely distributed. In the superficial layer of the small intestine mucosa, stereoscopic thick?finger?shaped villi cluster was visible. The intervillous spaces were crack?like, and the surface was cov?ered by regularly arranged reflective, absorptive cells. In the superficial layer of the large intestine mucosa, many regularly arranged daisy?like round crypts of uniform size, as well as reflective, goblet cells surrounding the crypt and the interval space between crypts were visible. When the exposure time increased, the nuclei became brighter. An excellent correlation was noted between the results of histologic examination and those obtained by using HRME. Conclusion HRME can produce accurate images of the animal gastro?intestinal mucosae and may be a novel technique for further studies of human gastrointestinal pathology.

Objective To summarize the picture features of high resolution micro-endoscopy (HRME) for normal gastrointestinal mucosa. Methods We select 10 cases' normal esophageal mucosa, gastric and duodenal mucosa, in-testinal mucosa and colonic mucosal biopsies for this study, use HRME to observe the specimens and describe the features of different parts of the digestive tract normal mucosa according to the collected HRME pictures. Results After HRME imaging, all specimens were sent to pathological examination. We obtained 1 284 HRME pictures for 50 cases of biopsy specimens, 400 pictures were selected for results analysis after screening. HRME image charac-teristics of different parts of the digestive tract normal mucosa are as follows. Esophageal mucosa: cell arrangement rules, round and bright nucleus, the same size, nuclear spacing normal, the number of cells per field in basically are the same. Fundic mucosa: numerous closely arranged glands as well as oval or elongated branched openings of the gastric pits and linear peripheral cracks were visible; the nuclei were arranged regularly. Antral mucosa: irregular or tubular openings of the gastric pits and cracked glandular cavities were visible, with the cells surrounding the gastric pits regularly arranged and the nuclei small and densely distributed. Duodenal mucosa:visible villi was large fingers,on both sides of lint jagged depression, stereoscopic obviously, a cluster-like arrangement and the gap was crack-like. Intestinal mucosa:villous structures wider gap is wider, less than the number of the duodenum. Colonic mucosa:the nucleus of the same size, shape rules, round or oval and daisy-like glandular structures. All specimens were confirmed normal mucosa by pathology. Conclusion HRME can accurately identify the different parts of the diges-tive tract normal mucosa and it has a high consistency compared with pathological results.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the bacterial distribution and drug resistance in patients in intensive care unit(ICU) and provide theoretical bases for rational usage of antibiotics.METHODS The distribution and drug resistance of 372 strains isolated from patients in ICU collected from Jul 2007 to Jun 2008 were investigated and studied retrospectively.RESULTS Among them,the Gram-negative bacilli covered 59.14 %,the Gram-positive cocci 28.49%,and the fungi covered 12.37%.Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Klebsiella,Stenotrophomonas maltophilia and Ancinetobacter were the main Gram-negative bacilli.Staphylococcus aureus,coagulation-negative Staphylococcus and Enterococcus were the main Gram-positive cocci.The resistance rate of P.aeruginosa,S.maltophilia and Acinetobacter to imipenem was over 10%,and the S.maltophilia was 96.7%,the resistance rate of three main Gram-positive cocci to vancomycin and teicoplanin was zero,and the isolated bacteria showed serious multidrug-resistance.CONCLUSIONS Periodic monitoring should be done to learn the drug resistance and bacterial distribution in ICU in order to rationally use antibiotics to avoid the generation of new drug resistant strains and control the infection of patients in ICU.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the change of antibiotics resistance of the Pseudomonas aeruginosa isolated from patients′s sputum in our hospital from Jan 2006 to Dec 2008,and offer basis for prevention of clinical infection and the reasonable use of drugs.METHODS The culture,identification and sensitivity to antibiotics of P.aeruginosa from the clinical sputum specimens were analyzed using USA VITEK-32 system.RESULTS Totally 196 strains of P.aeruginosa were isolated and characterized during the three years.The rates of resistance to cefoperazone/sulbactam were 18.37%,piperacillin/tazobactam 16.84%,netilmicin 17.35%,trimethoprim/sulfamesoxazole 100.00%,ampicillin 99.49%,cefazolin 99.49%,cefotetan 88.78%,and to ceftriaxone were 79.08%.The resistance rate to cephalosporins showed rising tendency.But the resistance rate to ?-lactam antibiotics showed deereasing tendency.CONCLUSIONS P.aeruginosa has single and multi-resistance to antibiotics seriously,but sensitive to ?-lactam antibiotics and aminoglycosides.Using antibiotics reasonably based on bacteria identification and sensitivity test is the best way to reduce the resistance of the pathogens.

Neural stem cells in brains have capacities of proliferation and differentiation, which is very critical to rebuild the cerebral cortex functions. Therefore, it is of great importance to find key targets and network pathways that regulate the proliferation of neural stem cells, which is also a pressing problem in the medical circle. With the Notch pathway as the core of the network, this paper summarized the advance of the bimolecular network system composed of Wnt, Shh, EGFR, cytokines and Notch signal, and analyzed such key nodes as Notch receptor, CBF1, NICD, Hesl, which may become potential targets of new-type drugs in the future. With the multi-component, multi-target, multi-lever characteristics, traditional Chinese medicines have many common grounds with the network pharmacology. The active component groups or active ingredients in traditional Chinese medicines are one of the material bases for showing their network pharmacological effect, which is worth exploring. This paper aims to provide a new strategy for the treatment of neurodegenerative disease and nerve injury with traditional Chinese medicines.
