Objective: To investigate the effects of Zhu Yun Pill(ZYP) in the treatment of infertility due to luteal phase defect(LPD).Methods: 163 infertility patients due to LPD were randomly divided into three groups in terms of ZYP group,progesterone group and combination group(ZYP and progesterone).Then the therapeutic efficacy was judged by the pregnancy rate(PR),endometrial biopsy,the level of serum hormone and basal body temperature before and after the treatment.Result: 40 women were pregnant in ZYP group(cure rate,33.33%),8 in the progesterone group(cure rate,26.67%) and 9 in the combination group(cure rate, 69.23%).The symptomatic amelioration and total effective rate of ZYP group were obviously higher than single exogenous progesterone group(P

Bovine Lactoferricin is a fragment of polypeptide which derives from N-terminal of bovine lactoferrin when it is digested by pepsin in acid condition. It has many biological functions. This study was designed to research the antibiosis spectrum of LfcinB and the key functional active site of the LfcinB by amino acid substitution and peptide sequence modification. Antimicrobial spectrum of the artificial synthesized LfcinB was determined by agar-well diffusion method. The antibacterial active sites were confirmed by minimal inhibitory concentration assays. After the Cysteine at the third site and the tryptophan at the eighth site of LfcinB were substituted by alanine, or two cysteine of LfcinB were respectively, the minimal inhibitory concentration of the three artificially modified LfcinBs was assayed. Results showed that LfcinB had a broad-spectrum of antibiosis, it could restrain various bacterials, such as Gram-positive bacteria, Gram-negative bacteria, fungus and mycetes. LfcinB was stable to heat and pH, it could not be inactivated by many protease. The tryptophan at the eighth site and the intramolecular disulfide bond formed between two cysteins played a key role for antibiosis, as the functional active sites of LfcinB.

Objective To establish a high sensitive spectrophotometry for determination of trace cadmium in the water. Methods A complicated ion-association complex of Cd(Ⅱ)-potassium iodide-malachite green was formed in the phosphate acid, and the addition of gelatine could enhance the sensitivity of the reaction.The maximum absorption of the ion-association complex was at 680 nm,the effect of experimental conditions such as the reagents concentration,the temperature and the influence of foreign matters were considered.Results In the optimum condition(6.0 ml of 40% potassium iodide-aseorbic acid solution,0.5 ml of 5.0 mol/L phosphate acid solution,0.5 ml of 0.5% gelatine solution,1.5 ml of 1.0?10~(-3)mol/L malachite green solution in a 25ml volumetric flask,diluted with water and mixed well and determined immediately),the linear regression equation was △A=0.011+ 0.957 c,r=0.998 5.Beer's law was obeyed in the range of 0.02 ?g/ml to 0.80 ?g/ml for Cd(Ⅱ)and the limit detection was 0.02 ?g/ ml.The composing ratio of the complex was MG:Cd:I=2:1:4,and its apparent molar absorptivity coefficient was 1.08?10~5 L/(mol? cm).The recovery rates of Cd(Ⅱ)were 97.0%-101.5%,RSDs were 1.36%-3.58%.Conclusion This method is sensitive,simple, rapid and is applicable to the determination of the trace Cd(Ⅱ)in water.

Objective To explore the relationship between interleukin-8 (IL-8) gene 1633C/T polymorphism and late-onset Alzheimer's disease in order to provide genetic reference data for late-onset Alzheimer's disease.Methods Polymorphism distribution of IL-8 gene 1633C/T in 80 LOAD and 80 normal controls were detected by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism(PCRRFLP) analysis.The alleles and gene frequencies type were calculated by the direct counting.Type of gene was proceeded with the Hardy-Weinberg balance estimate.The other statistical analyses were carried out with SPSS13.0 software.The genotype frequencies and allele frequencies were compared with the Chisquare test (x2 test).Results For IL-8 gene1633 C/T,the genotype frequencies (CC,20.0％ ; CT,41.2％ ; TT,38.8％) in the LOAD group were not significantly different from those (CC,11.3％ ; CT,40.0％ ; TT,48.7％) in the control group (P ＞ 0.05).Conclusions IL-8 gene 1633 C/T polymorphism is probably not related to the genetic susceptibility of late-onset Alzheimer's disease.

Myocardial infarction (MI) is a major cause of death and disability worldwide.The definition of myocardial infarction has been updated.Released in 2012,Third Universal Definition of Myocardial Infarction of ESC/ACCF/AHA/WHF Expert Consensus,made the clinical application value of troponin clear and suggested to monitor the dynamic changes of cTn in patients with suspected,emphasized the importance of clinical differential diagnosis.In consensus,it also noted that the application of high sensitive troponin can lead to false positives results,and pointeds out that in the assessment of cardiac injury associated with percutaneous or surgical coronary procedures,the rational cut-off value of cTn remains controversival.In addition to acute coronary syndrome,cTn elevations are common in many disease states,and with the improvement of detection sensitivity,low level increase of cTn,will be more.In acute and chronic heart failure,the cTn is elevated,and ACS may be the cause of worsening heart failure,So we should identify whether the cTn elevation is pure from the myocardial injury of heart failure or myocardial necrosis caused by ACS.Nowadays,the increased incidence of myocardial infarction has much to do with the wide application of cTn.Clinical applications of cardiac biomarkers and imaging techniques are flexible as the differences in the diagnostic techniques of myocardial infarction among countries and regions result.

Objective To evaluate the effect of a new schistosomiasis control strategy based on the infection source control in four-lake regions of Hubei Province. Methods The new strategy based on the infection source control included the safe water sup-ply,feces harmless treatment,replacing cattle with machine,captive livestock,chemotherapy,Oncomelania hupensis snail con-trol in susceptible areas,hardening ditches,etc,and the new control strategy was implemented for 7 years in 9 counties(cities or districts)of the four-lake regions. The schistosomiasis situations were investigated before and after the intervention of the new strat-egy. Results The coverage rates of feces harmless toilets(three format toilets),biogas digesters,and safe water supply were 42.00%,23.16% and 93.76%,respectively. The number of ditch hardening was 1 960;the area of eliminating snails was 1 378.42 hm2;the number of persons who received the health education was 3 524 818 accounting for 92.17%of the total popula-tion;the number of person-time of taking active protection measures was 516 636 963. The average annual decline rates of schisto-some infection were 24.42%and 38.38%in residents and cattle,respectively. The endemic villages decreased by 4.77%,the vil-lages with snails decreased by 7.05%,and the villages with snails accounted between 63.19%and 66.21%of the total endemic vil-lages. The area with snails decreased by 90.35%,and the advance schistosomiasis patients decreased by 5.55%,and the fatality rate of advanced schistosomiasis patients decreased by 1.24%. No acute schistosomiasis patients occurred. Type One and Two en-demic(heavy endemic)villages decreased to zero;Type Three endemic(moderate endemic)villages decreased by 10.22%;but Type Four endemic(mild endemic)villages increased by 66.38%;and Type Five endemic(no endemic for 5 years)villages de-creased by 0.22%.
