Objective To explore the effect of self-made water pillow on absolute bed rest patients.Methods Eight-eight patients were randomly allocated into observation group(n=46)and control group(n=42).The patients in the control group received daily care with conventional cotton pillows which were placed at the compression part, while those in the observation group were treated with newly designed water pillows.Both groups received constant turn-over to avoid pressure sores.The two groups were compared in terms of times of daily turn-over,degree of comfort and rate of skin pressuring red.Results The time of daily turn-over in the observation group was less than that of the control group and the degree of comfort was higher and the rate of skin pressuring red smaller all with statistically significant differences(P<0.05).Conclusion The application of the self-made water pillow can effectively prevent pressure sore,enhance comfort degree of absolute bed rest patients and reduce the workload of nursery.It is simple, economical,convenient and safe.

Objective:To search for a simple and rapid method of preparating the IL-2 conjugated immunoliposomes with high conjugate rate.Methods:The IL-2 conjugated immunoliposomes were prepared by Glutaraldhyde,Undecanal or Derivatization.All methods were analyzed and compared.The conjugate rate of IL-2 was determined by Bradford Assay.Centrifugal acceleration experiment served to prove the liposome stability.Results:IL-2 conjugated liposome by shiff’s base through Undecanal didn’t cause IL-2-self or liposme-self inter-cross link,and conjugate rate was high and stability was good.Conclution:Undecanal is suggested to prepare the IL-2 conjugated immunoliposomes for the anaphase cell experiment.

Objective: To study the effect of Resen heche tablets (RSHC) on tonyfing and warming Shen Yang. Methods: The mice model of Shen Yang deficiency was established by injecting hydrocortisone. The body weight, autonomic activity and swimming time in ice water in model mice were observed. The level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) in red cell and lipid peroxide (LPO) in plasma of aged rats were analyzed. The effect on anti stress in mice was examined. Results: RSHC had the remarkable effect to improve body weight and autonomic activity and to prolong swimming time in ice water in model mice, and to increase SOD activity and reduce LPO in blood of aged rats, and to elevate the ability of anti fatigue and anoxic tolerance in mice. Conclusion: RSHC drug has the effect on tonifying and warming Shen Yang; can promote growth, enhance organism activity, elevate the adaptation to circumstances and protect injury from free radicals.

OBJECTIVEThis study aims to compare the fracture resistance of teeth restored with different post and core systems by cyclic loading test and to predict long-term effects.

METHODSA total of 15 recently extracted mandibular premolars without crowns were endodontically treated. The teeth were randomly divided into three groups with five teeth in each group. Group A, teeth restored with cast metal post and core. Group B, teeth with fiber post and resin core. Group C, teeth with resin filling. All of the teeth were restored with full-cast metal crowns. The specimens were exposed to 300,000 cyclic loadings in a cyclic loading machine and 1,000 thermal cycles between 5 and 55 °C. All of the samples were loaded in AG-IS mechanical testing machine with a compressive load until fracture occurred. The fracture load and the fracture mode of each tooth were recorded.

RESULTSThe fracture resistance in group B and C were higher than that of the cast metal post and core restoration (P < 0.05). Repairable fractures were observed in group B and C, whereas unrestorable and catastrophic fractures were found in group A.

CONCLUSIONFiber post and resin filling is a good choice to restore endodontically treated teeth.

With more than 20 years of development, Pichia pastoris system has been extensively used both on a lab and industrial scale. This review outlines the progress made on P. pastoris from aspects of protein expression, molecular engineering tools and methods, and biochemical production. This review also provides perspectives on the current challenges and future directions of this important system.

Genome editing is defined as highly-effective and precise modification of cellular genome in a large scale. In recent years, such genome-editing methods have been rapidly developed in the field of industrial strain improvement. The quickly-updating methods thoroughly change the old mode of inefficient genetic modification, which is "one modification, one selection marker, and one target site". Highly-effective modification mode in genome editing have been developed including simultaneous modification of multiplex genes, highly-effective insertion, replacement, and deletion of target genes in the genome scale, cut-paste of a large DNA fragment. These new tools for microbial genome editing will certainly be applied widely, and increase the efficiency of industrial strain improvement, and promote the revolution of traditional fermentation industry and rapid development of novel industrial biotechnology like production of biofuel and biomaterial. The technological principle of these genome-editing methods and their applications were summarized in this review, which can benefit engineering and construction of industrial microorganism.

Type 1 diabetes is pathologically characterized by autoimmune insulitis-related islet β-cell destruction.Although intensive insulin therapy for patients with type 1 diabetes can correct hyperglycemia,this therapy does not effectively prevent diabetes-related cardiovascular complications.Hence,preservation of natural β-cell function is critical for the prevention of diabetes-related complications.Receut studies have shown that autologous hematopoietic stem cell transplantation ( A HSCT) is a new promising approach for the treatment of type 1 diabetes by reeonstitution of immunotolerance and preservation of islet β-cell function.Here we introduce the key results of a clinical trial ( NCT 01341899,ClinicalTrials.gov) performed in Chinese type 1 diabetes patients ( most of them with diabetic ketoacidosis at onset ) and discuss the potential mechanisms underlying the action of HSCT and its prospects in the clinical management of type 1 diabetes.

Due to myocardial necrosis and fibrous scar formation after acute myocardial infarction,patient's ventricular remodeling and cardiac function is reduced,which will cause serious impact on the long-term prognosis of patients with myocardial infarction.As new biological substitute materials,the hydrogels are superior in hydrophilicity and biocompatibility and have been widely used in the research of myocardial infarction's treatment.The hydrogels can be used alone or served as a promising cell/drug delivery vehicle.Many reports show that intramyocardial injection of hydrogels attached with stem cells and drugs can prevent left ventricle (LV) wall thinning,increase arteriole and capillary density,raise restoration ratio of implanted stem cells,facilitate controlled release of bioactive drugs,limit post-ischemic remodeling and preserve LV function in a certain extent.This article reviews injectable hydrogels research progress in the treatment of myocardial infarction.

Objective To investigate the effect of percutaneous nephrostolithotomy (PCNL) on patients with different body mass index.Methods The clinical data of 84 patients with kidney stones who were treated with PCNL surgical treatment were enrolled in this study,and they were divided into different groups according to body mass index (BMI),including 16 cases of BMI ＜ 18.5 kg/m2(low BMI group),36 cases of 18.5 kg/m2≤BMI ＜24.0 kg/m2 (normal BMI group),32 cases of BMI≥24.0 kg/m2 (high BMI group),and the curative effect was evaluated.Results Three groups' operation time,multichannel gravel rate,stones clearance,length of hospital stay,blood transfusion rate had no significant difference (P ＞0.05),the incidence of complications in low BMI group [31.25％ (5/16)] was obviously higher than that in normal BMI group [5.56％(2/36)] and high BMI group [9.38％(3/32)],there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion BMI of PCNL surgery influences on certain effect,low BMI will affect patients with surgery tolerance,cause complications increase,obesity wifl increase the difficulty of the operation.
