Objective To observe conditioned enhancement of antibody production against influenza vaccine. Methods 36 female BALB/c mice were injected with 3 μg/mouse influenza virus hemagglutinin (HA) as the unconditioned stimulus (UCS),and camphor odor was served as the conditioned stimulus (CS). After a CS/UCS pairing was made,animals were re-exposed to the CS at Weeks 6. Results Through one conditioned stimulus,the optical density of anti-HA antibody of the conditioned group (Weeks 9:0.68±0.06; Weeks 10:0.60±0.06)was significantly increased compared with the unconditioned group (Weeks 9:0.53±0.06; Weeks 10:0.48±0.04) ( P <0.01). The level of anti-HA antibody of the conditioned group was also significantly greater than other controlled groups( P <0.05). Conclusion Through a single exposure to camphor odor which was paired with immunization of influenza virus HA in a single trial learning protocol,a significant conditioned anti-HA IgG production occurred.

Objective To observe the clinical effect of the combined medication to prevent postoperative adjuvant chemotherapy-related nausea and vomiting after lung cancer surgery.Methods One hundred and fifteen patients under cisplatin-based chemotherapy were randomly divided into the control group ( n =58 ) and the treatment group( n =57 ).For the control group,Azasetron ( day 1-5 ) and dexamethasonewere (day 1-3 )were injected intravenously with a dose of 10 mg/day at half an hour before chemotherapy.For the treatment group,intramuscularinjectionof promethazine (25mg/day,30minsbeforesurgery ) and metoclopramide( 10 mg/day,30 mins before surgery )and intravenous infusion of omeprazole (40 mg/day,45 mins before surgery)were given from day 1 to day 5 in addition to the treatment for the control group to relieve chemotherapy-induced acute and late-phased nausea and vomiting.ResultsThere were no significant differences between the two groups in controlling acute nausea and vomiting in terms of complete response rate (Ps ＞0.05 ).However,there were significant effect on late-phased nausea,with an effective rate of 87.7％(50/57) in the treatment group versus 72.4％ (42/58) in the control group at day 2 after treatment( x2 =4.21,P ＜ 0.05 ),and 84.2％ (48/57) vs.67.2％ ( 39/58 ) at day 3 ( x2 =4.49,P ＜ 0.05 ),91.2％ ( 52/57 ) vs.77.6％ (45/58) at day 4 ( x2 =4.05,P ＜ 0.05 ),94.7％ ( 54/57 ) vs.81.0％ ( 47/58 ) at day 5 ( x2 =5.04,P ＜ 0.05 ).Furthermore,there were significant effect on late-phased vomiting,with an effective rate of 91.2％ (52/57)in the treatment group versus 74.1％ (43/58) in the control group at day 2 after treatment ( x2 =5.84,P ＜ 0.05 ),and 91.2％ ( 52/57 ) vs.70.7％ ( 41/58 ) at day 3 ( x2 =7.84,P ＜ 0.05 ),94.7％ ( 54/57 ) vs.79.3％ ( 46/58 ) at day 4 ( x2 =6.03,P ＜ 0.05 ),98.2％ (56/57) vs.87.9％ (50/58) at day 5 ( x2 =5.77,P ＜ 0.05 ).The common side effect in both group were dizzy,headache and coporostasis,with no significant difference [ 15.8％ ( 9/57 )vs.20.7％(12/58),x2 =0.46,P=0.49 ].ConclusionThe combinational medication used in the treatment group prominently reduced the incidence of chemotherapy-induced nausea and vomiting after pneumonectomy,especially the late-phased nausea and vomiting.

A canthopanax Senticosus , a vulnerable species, was one of the major government-protected plants. This paper deals with the major reason for wildlife resources from biological standpoints, which are sexual propagation with less capability , vegetative propagation being damaged due to leaves , roots and rhizomes being gathered un-reasonable. Raising wildlife resources, semi-wild extensive management, and reasonable gatheration will be an important means for protection of wildlife resources in light of local conditions.

OBJECTIVE: To assess efficacy and safety of simeprevir-based therapy for the treatment of hepatitis C virus genotype 1. METHODS: We searched Pubmed, EMBASE, the Cochrane Library, highwire, CBM, CNKI, Wanfang, VIP Database and literature from some relative paper based magazines also be retrieved. Randomised controlled trials(RCTs)of examining simeprevir plus ribavirin(RBV) and pegylated-interferon(peg-IFN) among adults with chronic HCV infection were included.Select the RCTs according to the inclusion criterion, then appraise them critiically by Cochrane handbook. All outcomes were pooled by the RevMan5.2 software of Cochrane Collaboration. Data were extracted on virological responses including sustained virological response at post-treatment week 12(SVR12), SVR24, serious adverse event(SAE),treat-ment discontinuation due to an adverse event(TDAE). RESULTS: Eight RCTs were finally included involving 2 758 patients who were treated with simeprevir, RBV and peg-IFN. The RESULTS of Meta-analysis showed that SVR12 rates was[OR=3.92,95%CI(2.86,5.39), P<0.000 01], SVR24 rates was[12 week:OR=3.79,95%CI(2.86,5.01), P<0.000 01], [24 week:OR=4.12,95%CI(2.69,6.30), P<0.000 01], SAE rates was[12 week:OR=0.67,95%CI(0.47,0.95),P=0.02], TDAE rates was[12 week:OR=0.85, 95%CI(0.54, 1.33), P=0.48],[24 week:OR=0.82,95%CI(0.42,1.60), P=0.55]. CONCLUSION: Evidence shows that, simeprevir-based treatment(simeprevir plus ribavirin and pegylated-interferon)for treating genotype 1 chronic HCV infection is better than PR treatment in SVR12 rates,SVR24 rates and SAE rates(course of treatment is 12 weeks). However, they are alike in TDAE rates.

Withanolide A is a biologically active secondary metabolite occuring in roots and leaves of Withania somnifera. In the present study, adventitious roots from leaf explants of W. somnifera were induced for the production of withanolide-A by Agrobacterium tumefaciens strain C58C1 to obtain hair roots. Hair roots induction rate reached 30%. The withanolide A was determined by HPLC in different hair roots lines and different parts of W. somnifera. The average content of withanolide A in all hair roots lines were 1.96 times as high as that in wild-plant, the concentration of withanolide A in hair roots (1.783 mg x g(-1) dry weight) were 1.51 times as high as the roots of wild W. somnifera (1.180 mg x g(-1) dry weight), respectively. It is possible to obtain withanolide A from hair roots culture of W. somnifera.

Abstract Gram-negative ( G-) bacteria, such as denitrifying bacteria and anaerobic ammonia oxidation bacteria, are highly social organisms capable of sophisticated cooperative behavior mediated via quorum sensing. As signal molecules of the chemical communication, N-acyl-homoserine lactones ( AHLs ) can mediate the quorum sensing of the functional microbial population and regulate the population density. To understand the growth of functional microbial population and the mechanism for biological nitrogen removal in upflow microaerobic sludge reactors ( UMSRs ) treating organic wastewater with low ratio of chemical oxygen demand to total nitrogen, a method was established to simultaneously detect AHLs in the microaerobic processes. Water-sludge mixtures sampled from the UMSRs were pretreated in sequence by liquid-liquid extraction using ethyl acetate, rotary evaporation, constant volume with methanol, separation by C18 column. Gradient elution was carried out using 5 mmol/L ammonium acetate ( containing 0 . 1% formic acid ) and methanol as mobile phases. On the base of multiple reaction monitoring analysis, a triple quadrupole mass spectrometer with an electrospray ionization was introduced to detect the target compounds. Nine kinds of AHLs were used to evaluate the established method and the results showed that the detection limits were 0 . 01-0 . 5 μg/L and all of the AHLs presented excellent linearity with the concentration ranging from 0 . 5 to 100 μg/L. The recovery and relative standard deviation ranged from 62. 5% to 118. 1% and 2. 9% to 12. 1%, respectively. The analysis could be finished within 6. 5 min. The rapid, accurate and precise method for detecting AHLs provided a new insight into the growth and metabolic activity of functional microbial population in the activated sludge processes to understand the mechanism of biological nitrogen removal, suggesting a good application in regulation and operation of wastewater biological treatment processes.

Objective:To study the lethal effect of vitamin C carbon dots on oral squamous cell carcinoma KB cells, and to clarity its related mechanism.Methods: The KB cells were treated with different concentrations (5, 10, 20, 40 and 80 mg·L-1) of vitamin C carbon dots in vitro as experimental groups, and 0 mg·L-1 vitamin C carbon dots group was used as blank control group.MTT assay was used to detect the proliferation rates of KB cells in various groups;colony formation assay was used to detect the colony formation ability of KB cells;Western blotting was performed to detect the protein expression levels of autophagy related protein LC3 in KB cells in various groups;flow cytometry was used to detect the apoptotic rates of KB cells in various groups.Results: Compared with blank control group, the proliferation rates and colony formation abilities of KB cells in 20, 40 and 80 mg·L-1 carbon dots groups were markedly decreased (P<0.01).Compared with blank control group, the protein expression level of LC3 Ⅱ in 40 mg·L-1 carbon dots group was increased(P<0.05);the apoptotic rate of KB cells was markedly increased(P<0.01).Conclusion: Vitamin C carbon dots can kill the oral squamous cell carcinoma KB cells effectively, suppress the proliferation and impair the colony formation ability of KB cells, which is related to autophagy and apoptosis of KB cells.
