Objective:To determinate the resistant starch in different kinds of food so as to provide the data for guiding the diet for health. Method:The contents of resistant starch in 6 kinds of food samples were determined by a method that mimicked gastrointestinal conditions. Results:The contents of resistant starch in raw food were higher than cooked food, except beans. The content of resistant starch of raw potato and deepfrying potato was respectively the highest, 46.06?2.65 g/100g total starch and 29.11?1.52 g/100g total starch. Conclusion:The repeatability of the analysis method was good, and the contents of resistant starch in various kinds of food were different.

Objective To review the clinical data and visual outcomes after treatment of patients with dysthyroid op-tic neuropathy ( DON) .Methods We retrospectively examined the clinic data of the 38 patients (67 eyes) suffer-ing from DON and analysed the effect of glucocorticoids , radiation and orbital decompression .Results The study included 14 men and 24 women.32 patients ( 84.2%) received multiple treatment modalities .LogMAR vision acuity changed from (0.60 ±0.59) before treatment to (0.18 ±0.09) after treatment(P<0.01) .There were 59 eyes (88.1%) in the treatment effective group , 8 eyes (11.9%) in the ineffective group .38 eyes underwent ini-tial treatment with intravenous steroid pulse therapy and 35 eyes ( 92.1%) were effective .29 eyes were treated with other modalities and 24 eyes(82.8%) were effective(P<0.01).There were 3 eyes (5.1%) suffering from fixed eyeball movement in the effective group , while 4 eyes ( 50%) in the ineffective group ( P <0.05 ) .The thickness of the supraocular muscle group in the effective group was (7.63 ±1.19 ) mm, (8.81 ±0.83 ) mm in the ineffective group (P<0.05).Mean defect of the visual field was (2.41 ±2.82) in the effective group and (11.98 ± 7.07 ) in the ineffective group ( P<0.05 ) .Conclusions Treatment with multiple modalities effectively improved visual outcomes in cases of DON .Intravenous pulse steroid therapy was recommended as the initial modality .

Relevant literatures on the relationship betw een fluorosis and oxidative stress were reviewed.Based on most of the original papers published in recent years,we can see the increased free radicals and oxidative stress may occur in certain stage of fluoride intoxication,but confirmation of the causality between oxidative stress and fluoride-induced damages still remains much work to do.

Objective To investigate the effect of nicardipine on perioperative insulin sensitivity in patients with essential hypertension(EH). Methods Thirty-eight patients undergoing lobectomy continuously after induction of anesthesia in group N, while normal saline was infused in group C instead of nicardipine. Blood samples were taken immediately before induction of anesthesia(T_0), 2 h after skin incision(T_1) ,4 h after surgery(T_2) and 24 h after surgery(T_3). Blood glucose(BG) and plasma insulin (Ins) were measured. The Insulin sensitivity index (ISI) was calculated. Results Values of BG at T_2and T_3 in group C were higher than those at T_0 (P<0. 05). Value of Ins at T_2 in group C was higher than that at T_0 (P<0. 05),which at T_3 in group C was significantly higher than that at T_0 (P<0. 01). ISI at T_2 in group C was lower than that at T_0 (P<0. 05) ,which at T_3 in group C was lower significantly than that at T_0 (P<0. 01). Values of BG and Ins at T_3 in group N were higher than those at T_0 (P<0. 05), ISI at T_3 in group N was lower than that at T_0 (P<0. 05). Value of BG at T_2 was significantly lower in group N than that in group C(P<0. 05). Value of Ins at T_3 was significantly lower in group N than that in group C(P<0. 01). ISI at T_2 and T_3 in group N was min~(-1) infused continuously during and after lobectomy can increase significantly insulin sensitivity and improve postopertive insulin resistance state in EH patients.

The effect of 5.8 ////mol L-1 propafeone on 0 phase depolarization of action potential were studed in meonatal and adult canine Purkinje fibres. Results showed: 1. in both groups, propafenone caused a reduction if APA and a decrease of Vmax; and the neonatal fibres were less sensitive to propafenone; 2. the inhibition of Vmax by propafenone showed frequency-dependent manner in both groups; and with theincrease of frequencies, the extent to which Vmax was inhibited became similiar in both groups. This sudy suggests that neonates were less sensitive to propafenone, but at higher frequencies neonates showed similiar responses as adults.

Objective To survey the significance of specific immune response in the relationship between Sagnation the Liver-qi syndrome and the spleen Deficiency syndrome.Methods The rats with the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome and the Spleen Deficiency syndrome were respectively corresponding and crossely treated with Radix Bupleuric dispersing the stagnated Liver-qi powder Decolion of Four Noble Drugs. Their T, B lymphocyte activity and specific immune response indexes changes (such as IgG, IgM in the serum) were respectively observed by lymphocyte transformation test and immunoturbidimetry. Results There were no notable changes about the IgG level among all kinds of groups. The IgM levels in the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome and the Spleen Deficiency syndrome decreased, especially in the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome (P0 05), Decolion of Four Noble Drugs could increase the IgM level of the patients with the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome and the Spleen Deficiency syndrome (P0 05); The T lymphocyte transformation rate of the Spleen Deficiency syndrome obviously decreased, and Decolion of Four Noble Drugs could recover it to the normal level (P0 05). The rate of B lymphocyte transformation the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome's also showed the increasing tenderly (P0 05). Conclusions The relationship between the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome and the Spleen Deficiency syndrome could occur in the phase of antigen presentation, especially in the phase of the T H cell activation stimulated by antigen. Radix Bupleuric dispersing the stagnated Liver-qi powder could enhance T, B lymphocyte activities by reverse the Liver-qi Stagnation syndrome,and Decolion of Four Noble Drugs could enhance T lymphocyte by improving the Spleen Deficiency syndrome.
