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.

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 understand the fluorescence pattern of antinuclear antibody(ANA)and the distribution of target anti-gen and ANA′s impact on rheumatoid arthritis(RA)RA.Methods The data of rheumatoid factor(RF)and anti-cyclic citrullinated peptide antibodies(anti-CCP antibodies)and ANA of 860 RA patients during 2014-2015 were collected and divided into 2 groups according to the ANA levels.The differences of RF and anti-CCP antibodies level between 2 groups were analyzed.Analyzed the fluorescence pattern of RA merger ANA and the distribution of target antigen by statistical.Results Of the 860 RA patients,the positive rate of ANA was 37.6%,the major fluorescence pattern of RA merger ANA was speckled pattern,anti SSA positive rate was 21.7%.The RF and anti-CCP antibodies level had statistical difference between ANA positive group and ANA negative group (P <0.05).Conclusion RA merger ANA positive can show different fluorescence patterns and target antigen,the speckled pattern and anti-SSA positive are the main pattern.The severity of arthritis symptoms and the degree of bone destruction between ANA positive group and ANA negative group were difference.Anti-ANA positive has a certain promoting effect on the progression of RA disease.

Objective To observe the effect of Astragalus injection on the expressions of inflammatory cytokines in human primary macrophages stimulated by lipoteichoic acid (LTA) and lipopolysaccharide (LPS),and investigate its effects on inflammatory reactions of Gram-positive (G+) and Gram-negative (G-) bacteria sepsis and its mechanisms.Methods Percoll density gradient centrifugation was used to isolate the human peripheral blood mononuclear cells,then they were purified by immune Anti-Biotin Microbeads with magnetic character and under the induction of recombinant human granulocyte-macrophage colony stimulating factor (rhGM-CSF),the cells were cultivated for 12 days in vitro,eventually the human monocyte-derived macrophage was formed.The cultured human macrophages were inoculated in 96-well plates (each group 3 wells) and 6-well plates (each group 3 wells).The cells were divided into control group (200 μL DMEM added in each well),LTA 1 mg/L group,LPS 0.1 mg/L group and low astragalus injection (0.1 mg/L) and high astragalus injection (0.2 mg/L) dose groups.After the incubator plates were put in an incubator for 24 hours,the protein content of IL-8 and IL-10 in supernatant were detected by enzymelinked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),and the mRNA expression levels of IL-8 and IL-10 were detected by real time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).Results LTA and LPS all can obviously up-regulate the expression levels of pro-inflammatory factor IL-8 and anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 of macrophage.The expressions of IL-8 and IL-10 protein and mRNA in LTA group and LPS group were significantly higher than those in control group after cuhure for 8 hours and 24 hours,the degrees of increment were more significantly at 24 hours [LTA stimute group:IL-8 protein (ng/L,× 103):41.57± 1.90 vs.1.58 ±0.24,IL-8 mRNA (A value):21.49±8.05 vs.1.00±0.16;IL-10 protein (ng/L):5.90±3.02 vs.2.91 ± 1.54,IL-10 mRNA (A value):1.35±0.34 vs.0.95±0.14;LPS stimute group:IL-8 protein (ng/L,× 103):345.00±22.80 vs.5.60±0.31,IL-8 mRNA (A value):29.84 ± 8.93 vs.1.00 ± 0.16,IL-10 protein (ng/L):122.37 ± 39.26 vs.44.79 ± 3.67,IL-10 mRNA (A value):7.38 ± 1.58 vs.1.35 ± 0.34,all P ＜ 0.05].The Astragalus injection could regulate LTA and LPS to stimulate the macrophage to decrease the expression levels of pro-inflammatory factor IL-8 protein and mRNA and increase the expression levels of anti-inflammatory factor IL-10 protein and mRNA in the macrophage;the changes of regulatory effect in the 24 hour-culture of Astragalus injection high dose group was the most significant [LTA stimute group:IL-8 protein (ng/L,×103):22.63±1.91 vs.41.57±1.90,IL-8 mRNA (A value):12.10±1.93 vs.21.49±8.05,IL-10 protein (ng/L):14.03±2.22 vs.5.90±3.02,IL-10 mRNA (A value):10.37±6.08 vs.1.35±0.34;LPS stimute group:IL-8 protein (ng/L,× 103):167.75 ± 19.90 vs.345.01 ±22.80,IL-8 mRNA (A value):15.61 ± 3.63 vs.29.84±8.93;IL-10 protein (ng/L):243.22±14.41 vs.122.37±39.26,IL-10 mRNA (A value):16.14±4.10 vs.7.38± 1.58,all P ＜ 0.05].Conclusions In the process of inflammatory response,the pro-inflammatory and anti-inflammatory factors co-exist simultaneously.Astragalus injection can inhibit the expression levels of pro-inflammatory factor gene and protein in the inflammatory response of G+ and G-bacteria sepsis and in the mean time,it can promote the expression levels of anti-inflammatory factor gene and protein,thus the immune mechanism of sepsis is affected,achieving the balance between pro-inflammation and anti-inflammation.

Objective To study the effect of modified sensorimotor training (SMT) method on standing ba- lance of the stroke patients during their recovery stage. Methods Sixty stroke patients at recovery stage were ran- domly divided into an intervention group and a control group. The intervention group was trained by modified SMT method which combined Thera-band with partial body weight support (PBWS) system, while the control group was trained only with their standing balance in the parallel bars based on the neurodevelopment therapy (NDT) method. Both groups were given the same medications as well as physical therapy, acupuncture and OT. The patients in the two groups practiced standing balance in front of a mirror daily, 40 minutes every day and 6 days every week for 4 weeks. The balance abilities of patients were evaluated by Berg balance scale (BBS) , and their lower extremity func- tions were assessed by simplification Fugl-Meyer assessment (FMA). Results After training, both groups showed significant improvement in BBS and FMA ( P
