2,5-DKG reductase I was purified from cell-free extracts of a recombinant,ER97 by a procedure involving ammonium sulfate precipitation and successive column chromatography on DEAE-Sepharose CL-6B and Phenyl Sepharose CL-4B with 5 fold purification,27 % recovery and 3418 U/mg specific activity.The molecular weight of the enzyme estimated by SDS-PAGE was 34kD.The isoelectric point was estimated to be 6.0 by PAG-IEF.The optimum pH was 7.0 and the optimum temperature was about 40℃.The enzyme can catalyze the stereospecific NADPH-dependent reduction of 25-DKG to 2-KLG.The michaelis-menten constant(Km) for 2,5-DKG and NADPH were 0.29 mmol/L and 14.7 mmol/L respectively.The enzyme is specific for NADPH and 2,5-DKG,1 mmol/L Cu~(2+) or Zn~(2+) could highly inhibited the enzyme activity.EDTA and ?-Mercaptoethanol have no effect on the enzyme activity.

Because of the neonatal immune system is immature,particularly in preterm and low birth weight infants,the neonate is prone to some infections.Neonatal sepsis usually has the slight performance and atypical clinical symptoms,which raise the great interest of searching for some better biomarkers.With the development of testing technology,the research of serum inflammation marker has made remarkable progress at home and abroad in recent years,however,the research of umbilical blood inflammation marker is still in the early stage of exploration.Umbilical blood detection have the advantages of early,noninvasive,safe and convenient compare to the traditional serum detection.This paper mainly discusses the application of umbilical blood detection to early onset neonatal sepsis.

Objective: To analyze the constituents and metabolites of Radix Sa poshnikoviae (RS) in rat plasma and urine by rapid-resolution liquid chromatography-time of flight mass spectrometry (RRLC-TOF/MS), so as to explore the active ingredients and metabolites of RS in vivo. Methods: The separation was performed on a Angilent Zorbax Extend-C14 (5 μm, 250 mm x 4.6 mm id) column, with a methanol-water mobile phase system used for gradient elution. Time-of-flight mass spectrometer (TOF/MS) was applied for qualitative analysis under positive ion mode. Based on the accurate molecular weight of TOF/MS detection and the compound list of RS established previously, the constituents and metabolites of RS in different matrix in vivo were identified. Results: Six constituents of RS were identified in the plasma, sucrose, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, cimifugin, nodakenetin, 5-O-methylvisamminol, and 3′-O-i-butyrylhammaudol. Eight constituents were identified in the urine, prim-O-glucosylcimifugin, divaricatacid, cimifugin, 4′-O-glucosyl-5-O- methylvisamminol, (3S)-2,2-dimethyl-3, 5-dihydroxy-8-hydroxymethyl-3, 4-dihydro-2H, 6H-benzo-[1, 2-b: 5, 4-b′] dipyran-6-one, 5-O-methylvisamminol, see-O-β-D-glucosylhammaudol, and wogonin. Two metabolites were identified in the urine, glucuronide of cimifujin and an isomer of it. Conclusion: The present method is reliable and effective for identifying compounds of RS in vivo, and it can provide a reference and evidence for the further pharmacodynamics experiments.

OBJECTIVE:To provide references for China in the formulation of international marketing strategy of tradi?tional Chinese medicine(TCM).METHODS:Related literatures were referred to and the current international marketing con?cepts of Chinese traditional medicine in China were analyzed.RESULTS&CONCLUSION:The internationalized target market for TCM is indefinite,the international market demand is unknown,the propaganda is without a definite aim,and the language platform for international academic communication is insufficient.It is suggested that the target market for TCM should aimed at general nursing,chronic and stubborn diseases,the efficacy and safety of TCM should be verified by control experiment and cost-effectiveness analysis,the international communication abilities of TCM and its practitioners should be improved so as to facilitate the internalization of TCM.

OBJECTIVE:To provide reference for the improvement on the management of defective medicinal products in China.METHODS:The current UK Defective Medicinal Products Guide and drug recall cases were analyzed and its implication on China was discussed.RESULTS & CONCLUSIONS:The mature defective medicinal products management experiences in UK serve as a mirror for drug safety work in China.At present,the drug safety work can be intensified through clarifying the definition of defective drugs,establishing effective information exchange channel for the defective drugs,establishing evaluation system about records of drug complaints,formulating scientific operational strategies for the recall of defective medicinal products and establishing matched information distribution channel.

0.01).Conclusion The change of thresholds mainly happened in the first working year.As working time increased,the incidence of ears without any response to the maximum output and the thresholds from 18 to 20 kHz were changed more significantly after 4 years working time.The examination of hearing at 10～20 kHz was required for new noise exposure workers and during the first working year,which helped to find the possible susceptibility of subject to noise damage.

Objective To understand and to assess the current situation of iodine deficiency disorders in Qaidam Basin,and to provide the information for measures and strategies of prevention and cure of this disease.Methods Within the boarder of Qaidam,five counties(cities)were selected for the investigation,which were Delingha,Golmud,Dulah,Wulan,and Tianjun.Two townships(towns)have been selected in each county(city),51 students aged 8 to 10 in one of the primary schools in each township(town)underwent thyroid palpation examination,their urine samples were collected to test urine iodine using arsenic-Ce catalysis spectrophotometric method.Thirty students of fifth-grade class in the selected schools underwent the questionnaire of prevention knowledge of iodine deficiency disease,while 10 housewives in each village near by the school were asked for the same questions,and the edible salt in their home was quantified of iodine by using direct titration method.Results Among the children aged 8 to 10,the average prevalence rate of thyroid enlargement Was 5.9%(30/510),higher than that stipulated by the national standard.The median of urinary iodine of urinary iodine level for children aged 8 to 10 was 83.4μg/L,the ration of urinary iodine＜20μg/L Was more than 10 percent;qualified iodized salt consumption rate of residents was 59.0%(118/200);the average scores and the checkout rate of fifth-grade students and the housewives who had underwent the questionnaire survey were 31.5,12.0%(36/300)and 35.9,18.5%(37/200)respectively.Conclusions The prevention and cure of iodine deficiency disorders in selected area do not work well,iodized salt is not popular,therefore health education needs to be strengthened.

Objective To investigate the differences of symptoms,physical signs and examinations in childhood and adult patients with Marfan syndrome.Methods Twenty-four children diagnosed as Marfan syndrome were investigated and evaluated synthetically in symptoms,physical signs and examinations.The positive rate of each item was analyzed to find the differences between childhood and adult patients.Results Among 24 patients,thorax and spinal deformity were found in 19 children(79%),leptosome type existed in 16 children(67%),dolichostenomelia was found in 15 children(63%).The dilation of the aortic sinus was detected in 16 children ((67%),)and the dilations of left ventricle and mitral regurgitation were found in 3 children(13%) with echocardiogram.Conclusions It is critical ascertain the abnormalities in cardiovascular system and give intervention,and it is expected to prolong the patients′ life by slowing down the changes in aortic walls.
