Nitrobenzene is one of the toxic compounds. Much work had focused on biodegradation of it sofar. Two main pathways for nitrobenzene biodegradation, oxidative and partial reductive pathways, were reviewed in this article. The mechanism of these pathways including involved enzymes and genes was introduce in details. Comparative analysis of the pathways would provide basis for the development and application of biodegradation technology for nitrobenzene and other organic pollutants.

Objective To investigate the expression and distribution of plasmacytoid dendritic cells(pDC) in peripheral blood and renal tissues in children with Henoch-SchSnlein purpura(HSP),and explore the role of pDCs in the pathogenesis of Henoch-Schtnlein purpura nephritis(HSPN).Methods Among the 40 children with HSP,28 cases were in the active phase(renal biopsy performed in 8 cases of them) and the other 12 in remission phase.Peripheral blood mononuclear cells were isolated,and the expression of pDC was detected by flow cytometry.The normal control group was established (n =15).Total RNA of peripheral blood was extracted and transcripted into cDNA.Sybr green dye based real-time quantitative PCR method was used to compare the expression(indicated as 2-△Ct value) of CXC motif chemokine 10 (CXCL10),CC chemokine ligand 5 (CCL5),chemokine CXC subfamily receptor 3 (CXCR3),CC chemokine receptor 5 (CCR5) in children with HSP and those in the controls.Immunohistochemistry labeling technique was used to detect the distribution of pDC in renal tissues from renal biopsy,and the normal controls were established (n =3).Results The expression percentage of pDC in peripheral blood in active phase was 0.051 ± 0.039,significantly lower than those in remission phase (0.181 ± 0.082) and the normal controls (0.166 ± 0.079) (P ＜ 0.000 1).Chemokines genes CXCL10 and CCL5 were overexpressed in peripheral blood ceils of acute phase HSP children,but chemokine receptors CXCR3,CCR5 were lowly expressed compared with normal controls.There was almost no expression of pDC in the normal control renal tissues,while pDC was infiltrated in glomeruli of HSPN children.Conclusions The number of pDC and chemokines' expression in peripheral blood is abnormal,and the pathogenesis of nephritis may be involved with the pDC in peripheral blood to migrate to the renal tissues.

〔Abstract〕 In order to advance the comprehensive and balanced development of health and family planning informatization in Beijing on the whole, according to the theoretical method of top -level design and in combination with actual situations of health and family plan-ning informatization in Beijing , the paper studies practices on top -level design from the aspect of technical routes and organization and implementation, and elaborates achievements of top -level design.

ObjectiveTo evaluate the effectiveness of transcatheter Amplatzer device closure on patent ductus arteriosus(PDA),and to give some evidences for the clinical application.MethodsAll studies in the world regard to the controlled trials(CT) about transcatheter Amplatzer device closure and cardiac surgery on PDA were searched and made synthetic evaluation by means of Meta-analysis.RevMan 4.2.2 software was used for statistical analysis.Cases relative risk(RR)and its 95% confidence interval(CI)of procedure failure,the incidence of complication and residual shunt were calculated.ResultsTotally 5 studies including 349 cases were analyzed.Operation failure of Amplatzer device occlusion was higher than cardiac surgery [5 CT,349 cases,3.0% vs 0,RR=4.29,95%CI(0.77,23.95)](P=0.10).Incidence of complication of Amplatzer device occlusion was lower than cardiac surgery[5 CT,343 cases,3.1% vs 38.0%,RR=0.11,95%CI(0.05,0.23)](P

UNLABELLED: Abstract: OBJECTIVE: To investigate the bacterial succession on rat carcasses and to evaluate the use of bacterial succession for postmortem interval (PMI) estimation. METHODS: Adult female SD rat remains were placed in carton boxes. The bacterial colonization of circumocular skin, mouth and vagina was collected to be identified using culture-dependent biochemical methods. The changes in community composition were regularly documented. RESULTS: The bacterial succession in three habitats showed that Staphylococcus and Neisseria were predominated in early PMI, especially Staphylococcus aureus and Neisseria lactamica in 6 hours after death. Lactobacillus casei developed on the 3-4 days regularly, and kept stable at a certain level in late PMI. CONCLUSION The involvement of normal and putrefactive bacteria in three body habitats of rat remains can be used for PMI estimation.

OBJECTIVETo explore the feasibility of evaluating complete ischemia-reperfusion injury (IRI) of the testis by contrast-enhanced ultrasonography with microbubbles (MB) targeted to P-selectin (MBp) in rabbits.

METHODSWe randomly divided 30 healthy adult rabbits into five groups of equal number (control, 0.5 h IRI, 1 h IRI, 2 h IRI, and 4 h IRI), prepared phospholipid MB and MBp, and performed contrast-enhanced ultrasonography of the bilateral testes with MB or MBp at an interval of 20 min at different times after IRI. When MB or MBp disappeared completely in the healthy testis at 4 to 5 min after intravenous injection, we recorded the power of the first frame (F-P) in the IRI testes followed by immunohistochemical staining of the testis tissue.

RESULTSCEU with MBp achieved a significantly higher F-P than that with MB in all the IRI groups (P < 0.05), which was (8.34 +/- 1.20) versus (1.87 +/- 0.25) 10(-5) AU at 2 hours, but there was no significant difference between MB and MBp in the control rabbits (0 AU, P > 0.05). Immunohistochemistry showed a significantly time-dependent increase in the expression of P-selectin in the vascular endothelial cells of the IRI testes, but not in those of the control.

CONCLUSIONContrast-enhanced ultrasonography with MBp can be used to evaluate the inflammatory reaction of testicular ischemia-reperfusion injury.

Suspension cultures cell of Sorbus aucuparia (SASC) was used as materials, the changes of physiological and biochemical indexes of SASC after treatment with yeast extract (YE) were detected, and the synthetic mechanism of secondary metabolites in SASC treated with YE was preliminarily explored. The results were as follows: under the assay conditions, SASC was induced to synthesize five biphenyl compounds, and these compounds content changed differently with induction time prolonging; YE treatment inhibited cell growth, the culture medium pH was gradually reduced after treatment; water-soluble protein content showed a trend of slow decline, which was significantly increased in YE treatment group (YE group) compared with the control group (CK group), the maximum relative content was 147.76% in contrast with CK group; both YE group and CK group were extracellular Ca2+ flow influx, but the YE group flow was significantly slow than CK group. The results indicate that YE induced the cells in a stress state, which was not conducive to the growth of cells and forced the cells to synthesize biphenyl compounds against external stress; water-soluble protein may serve as intracellular enzymes involved in the synthesis of compounds regulation; Ca2+ may as signal molecule mediate cell signal transduction respond to YE stress.
