The study is aimed to provide the theoretical basis for exploiting and utilization of salt-alkaline soil and cultivating Belamcanda chinensis. In this study, we exerted exogenous substances SNP, Spd to relieve the damage of the mixing salt-alkaline stress on B. chinensis seedling which is NaCl, Na2SO4, NaHCO3 and Na2CO3 four kinds of salt molar ratio of 9: 1: 9: 1, salt concentration of 100 mmol x L(-1). The result illustrated that high pH stress is a major factor caused the salt-alkaline stress, the interaction between time and the concentration of each, treatment was observed, what is more, there are synergies between the salt and alkali stress. The content of B. chinensis seedling leaves' membrane peroxidation index (MDA, O2-*) and metabolites (soluble protein, soluble sugars, organic acids) are showing an upward trend in varying degrees under 100 mmol x L(-1) salt-alkaline stress. It is effective to reduce the content of MDA and O2-*. and improve the levels of metabolites, in which the SNP (0.05 mmol x L(-1)) and Spd (0.5 mmol x L(-1)) to alleviate damage effects is the best. Therefore we can hold the conclusion that SNP and Spd can effectively mitigate the damage of B. chinensis seedling on salt-alkaline stress, improve the resistance ability of B. chinensis seedling which can provide the scientific basis for the utilization of salt-alkaline soil, and the cultivation of B. chinensis.

Objective:To explore the effect of comprehensive intervention program based on the concept of fast track surgery in early enteral nutrition tolerance and rehabilitation in patients with esopha geal cancer.Methods:93 selected patients were divided into the intervention group and the conventional control group according to the admission time.Patients in intervention group were treated with comprehensive intervention,and control group were given routine nursing care.Enteral nutrition intolerance incidence,the first time of bowel sounds,the first time exhaust and defecation and complications were compared between the two groups.Results:36 patients from 47 patients (76.60％) in the intervention group could tolerate the early feeding,while 24 patients from 46 patients (52.17％) in the control group could tolerate.There was significant difference between two groups (P ＜ 0.05).The first time of exhaust,bowel sounds and defecation,and the hospitalization time of patients in the intervention group were better than that in the conventional control group (P ＜ 0.01).Incidence rate of incision infection,pulmonary infection and intestinal obstruction in patients of the comprehensive intervention group was lower than that in the control group (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion:Compared with the traditional treatment,the comprehensive intervention can effectively reduce the enteral nutrition intolerance incidence,promote the recovery,reduce hospitalization time and the incidence of postoperative complications,and improve the life quality of patients after surgery.

Abstract:Objective To detect the expression of hepatic function indices and autoantibodies in patients with chronic hepatitis B patients, patients with autoimmune liver disease and patients with chronic hepatitis B combined with autoimmune liver disease, and to evaluate the clinical significance of autoantibodies and hepatic function indexes in the early diagnosis of chronic hepatitis B combined with autoimmune liver disease.Methods A total of 109 healthy controls (HC), 72 patients with chronic hepatitis B (CHB), 74 patients with autoimmune liver disease (AILD), and 24 patients with chronic hepatitis B combined with autoimmune liver disease (CHB+AILD) in the Fifth People’s Hospital of Suzhou from 2013 to 2021 were enrolled in this study. Basic information and the value of admission hepatic function indexes and autoantibodies were collected for all enrolled samples, while no autoantibody test was performed for healthy volunteers. All data were processed using GraphPad Prism and SPSS software.Results There were no significant differences in age and gender among the four groups. The detection rates of anti-mitochondrial antibody M2 (AMA-M2) and anti-soluble acidic phosphorylated nuclear protein antibody (anti-SP100 antibodies) in CHB+AILD group [29.2%(7/24), 17.4%(4/23)] were significantly higher than those in CHB group [5.1%(3/59), 0(0/59)], suggesting that the detection of these two autoantibodies is helpful to the differential diagnosis of CHB and CHB+AILD. In addition, eight hepatic function indexes displayed significant differences among the four groups. The levels of total bilirubin and direct bilirubin in CHB+AILD group were significantly higher than those in CHB and AILD groups, while the levels of total protein and albumin were significantly lower than those in CHB and AILD groups. Alkaline phosphatase and glutamyltranspeptidase in AILD group and CHB+AILD group were significantly higher than those in CHB group. The logistic regression analysis showed that total bilirubin, direct bilirubin, albumin, alanine aminotransferase and alkaline phosphatase could form a promising prediction model, which was useful for clinicians in the differential diagnosis of CHB and CHB+AILD (area under the curve, AUC=0.902).Conclusion The combination of autoantibody and hepatic function index detection can be helpful for clinicians in the differential diagnosis of CHB, AILD and CHB+AILD, thus contributing to the early and correct diagnosis of CHB+AILD and providing theoretical basis for patients to obtain reasonable treatment and clinical cure earlier.

Argyrogramma agnata has been selected as a substitutive host insect for producing Dendrolimus punctatus Cytoplasmic Polyhedrosis Virus (DpCPV). In our experiment, it is very susceptible to DpCPV. The DpCPV produced in A. agnata is designated Aa-DpCPV. The cytoplasmic polyhedra body (CPB), the virion size and the shape of Aa-DpCPV are same as that of its original DpCPV (DpCPV-W1984). The RNA bands of Aa-DpCPV and DpCPV-W1984 all have 10 RNA segments respectively in 3% PAGE, which molecular weights ranged in size from 2.98×106 to 0.66×106 Dalton. Aa-DpCPV has the same strong toxicity as that of DpCPV-W1984 (from D. punctatus) to D. punctatus (Walker) larva. So it can be applied to the pine caterpillar control. The DpCPV yield in A.agnata is 2.5×108CPB/larva.

Penaeidin-2 (Pen-2) is an important antimicrobial peptide derived from the Pacific white shrimp, Penaeus vannamei, and possesses both antibacterial and antifungal activities. Recent studies suggest that recombinant penaeidins show similar activities to the native Pen-2 protein. Previous researches have shown that some antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) exhibit cytotoxic activity against cancer cells. To date, there have been no studies on the antitumor effects of Pen-2. This study evaluated the potential of recombinant pen-2 (rPen-2) in the selective killing of kidney cancer cell lines ACHN and A498, and its action mechanism. MTT assays found the maximal growth inhibition of HK-2, ACHN and A498 cells treated with 100 μg/mL rPen-2 at 48 h was 13.2%, 62.4%, and 70.4%, respectively. DNA-specific fluorescent dye staining showed a high percentage of apoptosis on cancer cells. Flow cytometry revealed that the apoptosis rate of HK-2, ACHN and A498 cells was 15.2%, 55.2%, and 61.5% at 48 h respectively, suggesting that rPen-2 induced higher apoptosis rate in cancer cells than in HK-2 cells. Laser confocal scanning microscopy demonstrated that the plasma membrane was the key site where rPen-2 interacted with and destroyed tumor cells. Scanning electron microscopy showed the morphologic changes of the cell membranes of kidney cancer cells treated with rPen-2. These results suggest that rPen-2 is a novel potential therapeutic agent that may be useful in treating kidney cancers.

Objective To research the fibrosis characteristics of Atrial Fibrillation(AF) patients under microscope and its effect to post-operative sinus conversion of Radiofrequency ablation treatment.Methods Based on Lefi Atrial Dimension (LAD).Left atrial appendage tissue samples of 60 AF patients who received bipolar radiofrequency ablation treatment during open heart surgery between July and December 2011,were divided into 4 groups:group a (LAD≤50 mm),group b (50 mm ＜ LAD≤60 mm),group c (60 mm＜ LAD ≤70 mm),group d (LAD ＞ 70 mm),15 patients in each group.The levels of atrial muscle fibrosis and cell size differences are compared for colored slides of samples.Research are done for the difference of sinus rhythm restoration rate among the 4 groups based on ECG records at immediate,leaving hospital,and 3,6,12 months postoperative are collected for all groups.Results Differences of CVF and atrial muscle cell size measured under microscope are statistically meaningful(P ＜ 0.001).Sinus rhythm restoration rate differences at 6 month(P =0.039) and 12 month (P =0.037) post-operative are statistically meaningful.Further,immediate,leaving hospital,and 3,6,12 months postoperative sinus rhythm restoration rates are 93.3％,93.3％,93.3％,100％,100％ for group a,80.0％,73.3％,80.0％,80.0％,80.0％ for group b,66.7％,66.7％,66.7％,73.3％,66.7％ for goup c,and 53.3％,53.3％,53.3％,60.0％,60.0％ for group d respectively.Conclusion For rheumatic heart valve diseases patients who at 6 and 12 month post-operative,the greater the LAD,the higher the atrial fibrosis level,the greater the cell size,the lower the sinus rhythm restoration rate is.

BACKGROUND: Morphine is the first choice for the pain of medium and advanced degrees due to cancer. This is advocated in the Pain Relieving Guide of the WHO. Controlled-release morphine sulfate tablets(CRM) and sustained-release morphine sulfate tablets (SRM) all belong to oral long-acting morphine. It plays an important role in relieving cancer pain effectively and improving their quality of life(QOL).OBJECTIVE: To observe the analgesic effect of CRM and SRM and to observe how they improve the QOL of the cancer patients with severe cancer pain.SETTING: Department of oncology, department of surgery, department of internal medicine and department of traditional chinese medicine in the first affiliated hospital of a university.PARTICIPANTS: During October 1995 to June 1998, all inpatients that were pathologically proved to suffer from malignant tumor with severe pain were recruited into our study.METHODS: There were 182 patients with severe pain due to advanced cancers pathologically proven. They all met the entry criterion of the study. Totally 95 patients were treated with CRM, of which 12 cases were lost in follow-up due to side effects, death, or discharge from the hospital, and the rest 83 cases entered the stage of clinical trial. Eighty-seven patients were treated with SRM. Of them 25 cases were lost in follow-up due to side effects, death, or discharge from the hospital, and the rest 62 cases entered the stage of clinical trial. The recommended initial dosage of CRM or SRM was 30 mg every 12 hours for all patients, and then the dosage was regulated according to the effects until the ideal anesthesia was achieved.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Assessments included pain severity, the effective rate, complete remission rate, remission time, adverse reactions, and the QOL before and after the treatment.RESULTS: The effective rates of CRM and SRM were 95% and 94%respectively. The complete remission rates were 82% and 80% respectively, and the remission time was(9.1 ±4.1) hours and (8.7±4.4)hours respectively. Statistically, there was no significant difference in analgesic effect and remission time between CRM and SRM. QOL was elevated for a higher degree in 62(75% ) and 47(76% ) patients after the treatment. QOL scores of CRM were (34.6 ± 11.5 ) points before treatment and (52.6 ± 13.0) points after the treatment( P = 0. 000), while QOL scores of SRM were(37.7 ± 9.7) points before the treatment and points (49.8 ± 12.9) points after the treatment (P = 0. 000). There was significant difference in QOL after the treatment. They could relicve osteocope,visceral pain, soft tissue infiltrative pain more effectively than they do about neurological pain.CONCLUSION: Oral treatment with CRM and SRM for the patients with server cancer pain shows a similar analgesic effect. They are effective, safe,and convenient, and can improve the QOL.

Objective To measure the effect of one-stage transplantation of reverse-flow vascular pedicle fibular grafts in treatment of infected nonunion of the distal tibia.Methods From January 2001 to December 2012,23 patients sustaining the infected nonunion of the distal tibia were transplanted with reverse-flow vascular pedicled fibular grafts in one-stage.There were 13 males and 10 females,aged 26 to 59 years (mean,38.7 years).Tibial nounion based on the Jain-Sinha classification was rated as Type A in 6 patients and Type B in 17 patients.After the operation,the patients received 2-3 weeks of intravenous antibiotic treatment and then 4-week oral antibiotic therapy.Wound healing,limb and ankle joint fucntion and outcomes in fibular transplantation were observed.Results Duration of follow-up was 16-46 months (mean,28.6 months).There were no exudates and ulcerations of the skins.Smooth healing was achieved in all the patients except that fibular fracture was noted in one patient healed after cast immobilization.Healing time ranged from 12 to 28 weeks (mean,15.6 weeks).Limb function evaluated with Ennecking system had (87 ± 11) ％ restoration.According the Olerud-Molander scoring system,ankle function was excellent in 16 patients and good in 7 patients,with the excellent-good rate of 100％.Conclusion One-stage reverse-flow vascular pedicle fibular grafting is an optional procedure for treatment of infected nonunion of the distal tibia,due to the technique is easy and effective.
