As to a nitrite-oxidizing bacterium screened in our laborator y, the effect of pH, nitrogen sources, carbon sources and sodium chloride on its g rowth was studied in order to obtain high cell density. It showed that the cult ure conditions of nitrite- oxidizing bacterium were 4500mg/L sodium nitrite, 1 .5g/L sodium carbonate, 0~0.5% sodium chloride and 0~0.1% glucose at 28℃~30 ℃, 110 r/min and pH 8.0~8.5. After cultivation for 9 days, the bacteria conc entration reached 4.6?109 MPN/mL and all NO-_2-N in the medium w as converted to NO-_3-N. But the transformation of nitrogen sources was inhibited while the sodium chloride concentration exceeded 0.5% or glucose con centration exceeded 0.1%. According to the test of NO-_2-N conversion with nitrite-oxidizing bacteria in a freshwater aquaculture pond, NO-_2 -N began to decrease on the third day of the moculation of this bacterium and t he concentration dropped from 1.47mol/L to 0.49mol/L after 18 days at 25℃ and pH 8.6.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the expression and their clinical significance of uPA (urokinase type plasminogen activator) and integrin?4 in papillary thyroid cancer. METHODS The levels of uPA and integrin?4 were determined by Immunohistochemistry technique (S-P method) in 36 specimens from patients with papillary thyroid cancer, 30 specimens from benign thyroid tumor and normal thyroid tissues adjacent to benign thyroid tumor. RESULTS The levels of uPA and integrin?4 in benign thyroid tumor were significantly higher than that in normal tissue adjacent to benign thyroid tumor (P

In order to estimate the relationship between iron and the Alzheimer's disease, the behavioral and pathological changes were observed by Morris water maze and immunohistochemical staining respectively after injecting FeC13 into brain ventricle of rats. The apoptosis was tested by flow cytometry and the electron microscopy was used to observe ultrastructural changes. There were significant differences in escape latency of time and distance between normal animals and iron treated rats. Percentage and fluorescence intension (FI) of AnnexinV FITC loaded cells undergoing apoptosis were higher in iron treated rats compared with normal animals. Fawn-coloured products of β amyloid protein were interspersedly distributed in extensive areas of cerebral cortex and hippocampus. Under electron microscope, vacuolate degeneration of neuronal processes with mitochondria degeneration and accumulation of microtubule near vacuolar nucleus were observed in iron treated rats. These results suggest that a local higher concentration of iron in brain may induce Alzheimer-like impairment of intelligence and pathological changes.

Objective To observe the effects of bolus volume on pharyngeal and upper esophageal sphincter pressures and durations in healthy volunteers by using high-resolution manometry (HRM).Methods Twentyfour health subjects were recruited and asked to swallow three volumes of bolus (3 ml,5 ml and 10 ml) in the neutral head position.Pressure and duration measurements were acquired by utilizing a high-resolution solid-state manometer,with an emphasis on the hypopharynx and upper esophageal sphincter (UES).Variables including UES residual pressure,UES relaxation duration,maximum hypopharygeal pressure and hypopharyngeal pressure duration were analyzed across bolus volumes and consistencies by using three-way repeated measures analysis of variance (ANOVA) to investigate influence of bolus volume.Results UES residual pressure [-1.71 mmHg(3 ml thick liquid)vs.-4.68 mmHg(10 ml thick liquid)],UES relaxation duration[590.45 ms(3 ml thick liquid) vs.702.49 ms (10 ml thick liquid)],maximum hypopharygeal pressure [169.91 mmHg (3 ml thick liquid) vs.204.42 mmHg (10 ml thick liquid)] and hypopharyngeal pressure duration(P ＜0.05) varied significantly across bolus volumes when swallowing water or thick liquid.The UES relaxation duration,UES residual pressure and maximum hypopharyngeal pressure had a direct positive relationship with bolus volume.There was significant differences with regard to UES relaxation duration [685.75 ms(3 ml paste)vs.772.27 ms (10 ml paste)] but not to UES residual pressure (P ＞ 0.05) and maximum hypopharyngeal pressure (P ＞ 0.05) across bolus volume when swallowing paste.Conclusions Difference in hypopharyngeal pressure and duration,UES residual pressure and duration were detected across varying bolus volumes.Consideration of these variables is paramount in understanding normal and pathological swallowing.

Objective To investigate the correlation between Bispectral index (BIS) value and the prognosis of patients with coma in ICU.Methods A total of 208 patients with coma in ICU were divided into 4 groups according to the BIS value.In group I,BIS value was 0 to 20; groupⅡ,BIS value 21 to 40; group Ⅲ,BIS value 41 to 60; and group Ⅳ,BIS value greater than 60.Comparison of the difference in BIS value with the differences in prognosis of patients with coma was carried out between four groups,and the prognosis of patients with coma was stratified into consciousness,coma,vegetative state,and brain death.Subsequently,the best cutoff score of BIS value calculated for determining the correlation between BIS and mental state was proposed.Results There are no significant differences in the age and APACHE Ⅱ scores between four groups (P ＞ 0.05).It was inverse correlation between BIS value and mental state (r =-0.749,P =0.00).According to the ROC curve,as BIS value was greater than 42.5,there were higher sensitivity and specificity in Conscious-Coma patients.Conclusions BIS value is correlated with the prognosis of patients with coma in ICU,and BIS value can be a useful marker for estimating the prognosis of comatose patients.

Objective To observe the clinical effects and safety of Angongniuhuang Pill (a traditional Chinese medical preparation)adjuvant to haloperidol for the treatment of Intensive Care Unit (ICU)patients in postoperative delirium.Methods A prospective study of 243 postoperative patients with delirium adimitted in Intensive Care Unit of Xinjiang Medical University First Affiliated Hospital (January 2013-December 2014),by using confusion assessment method of Intensive Care Unit (CAMICU).All of 243 patients with delirium were randomly divided into two groups by computer randomization software (SAS 9.1):group A in which patients were treated with Angongniuhuang Pill adjuvant to haloperidol and group Fin which patiets were treated with haloperidol alone.The end of two intervention methods was determined by two consecutive CAMICU showing negative or the treatment were ended up at seven days treatment.The data of general information,and the results of treatment were recorded and analized by statistical software SPSS 19.0.The measurement data was expressed as mean ±standard deviation;the comparision between two groups was tested by t test;and repeated measurement was analised by variance.Count data was described as number and constitution ratio;and intergroup comparision was tested by Chi-square test. Results There was no significant difference in general information between two groups.The delirium duration and ICU treatment time in group A were shorter than those in group F [(3.0 ±0.9)d vs.(3.8 ±1.0) d,P =0.010; (6.2 ± 1.4) d vs.(6.7 ± 1.5) d,P = 0.008].When delirium was diagnosed (T0),all patients had EEG abnormalities.As treatment went on,EEG abnormal rate gradually declined.At day one (T1),there was no statistically significant difference in EEG findings between group A and group F (95.7% vs.97.5%,P = 0.045 ).At day two (T2 )and day three (T3 ),there was statistically significant difference in EEG findings between group A and group F (65.5% vs.77.7%,P =0.038;42.2% vs.56.2%,P = 0.032).The levels of S100βprotein,interleukin-6 (IL-6),tumor necrosis factor α(TNF-α)in two groups at T0 were all elevated without noticeable difference.These markers were all deceased at T1,T2,T3,but the speed of descend in group A was relatively faster than that in group F.The differences were statistically significant (S100β:time effect P <0.01,inter-group effectp =0.002,interaction effectp =0.686;IL-6:time effect P <0.01,inter-group effectp =0.034,interaction effectp =0.01;TNF-α:time effect P <0.01,inter-group effectp =0.003,interaction effectp =0.516). The discharge rate in group A after improvement of general condition was higher than that in group F (89.7% vs.79.3%,P =0.029).The incidence of postoperative complications and mortality 28 days after operation in group A were lower than those in group F (45.7% vs.58.7%P =0.045;12.9% vs. 24.0%,P =0.028).Conclusion During the treatment of delirium,Angongniuhuang pill adjuvant to haloperidol was a better method compared with using haloperidol alone in respect of effectiveness and safety perspectives.It may be a novel approach to the treatment for delirium by the combination of Chinese and Western medicine.
