According to the requirements of ptobiotics, we have separated 13 strains of Lactobacillus from the content in gut of lactating piglet. Among them 3strains are L. acidophilus, one is L. casei, one is L. atenaforme and 8 strains are L. fermentum. They can resist 1.0% bile salt and the acidity of pH3.0, can inhibit pathogenic Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. They are safe and non-toxic to mice.

Objective To improve the diagnosis and management of parapharyngeal space(PPS)neoplasms. Methods Records of 85 patients with PPS neoplasms operated in 11 years were reviewed with regard to presenting signs and symptoms,histological characteristics,imaging technique,surgical approach and postoperative complica- tions.Results Benign rumors were found in 77 cases and malignant tumors were founded in 8 cases.Forty-one tu- mors originated from salivary glands;neurogenic tumors were found in 36 patients and 8 patients with tumors in oth- er organs.All were treated by surgical operation:the trans-eervical approach was used in 76 cases,tans-oral in 6 cases and the combined transoral-cervical approach in 3 cases.The complications after operation were facial nerve palsy(4 cases),hypoglossal nerve paralysis(2 cases)Horner syndrome(2 cases),vocal cord paralysis(2 cases),thyroid gland fistula(1 case),infects(1 case)and difficulty in breathing(1 case).Conclusion Tumors originated from salivary glands were the most common neoplasms in the primary parapharyngeal space neoplasms,and neurogenic tumors fol- lowed.High-resolution computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging was essential for diagnosis and presurgi- cal planning.The transcervical approach was the preferred procedure for PPS tumors.

Objective To explore the Oneomehnia distribution on electronic map based on gridding orientation pattern of marshlands in Changsha along Xiangjiang River,in order to manage snail information in a visual and digital way.Methods The data of geographic information and snail information were collected by global positioning system(GPS)and database was established using systematic sampling,and then an information management system of electronic map about the distribution of Oncomelania was designed.The degree of Oncomelania was expressed in different colors,the Oncomelania information in the database on the digital map wag reflected accurately using the geographic information system(GIS)technology.Results The electronic map of the distribution information of 20 marshlands in Changsha along Xiangjiang River were drawn.At the same time,the information could be grasped compreheusively.Digit map contains geographic information and database of snail information,such as the row and rnum,the density of alive and infectious snails,the area and geographic information et al.A method of managing and analyzing snail information with higher efficiency was offerred in this article.Conclusion Conventional methods of managing and analyzing Oncomelania information are reformed into digitalization and visualization.

Objective To explore the clinical effect of modified frontalis muscle suspension for severe blepharoptosis correction. Design Retrospective case series. Participants Fifty-six cases (101 eyes) with severe blepharoptosis. Methods Modified frontalis mus- cle suspension was adopted. The technique included single blepharoplasty-type incision, dissecting the posterior gaps of frontalis muscu- lar fasciae ahead,then euthyphoria isolating anterior gaps of rontalis muscular fasciae, using frontalis muscle transfer without vertical incision. Main Outcome Measure The positon chang of the upper eyelid in the primary position gaze. Results The follow-up period ranged from 8 to 20 months (mean, 13.6 months). All the patients were deemed to have a good surgical outcome. Complications such as ectropion and corneal exposure were avoided. But ten eyes required reoperation for undercorrection, six eyes for overcorrection and two eyes for entropion. Conclusion This surgical technique is a useful procedure that results in substantial cosmetic and functional im- provement with few complications.

In this study, ITS2 barcode was used to identify Bupleurum chinense and B. longiradiatum. The ITS2 regions of 48 samples were amplified and sequenced. The sequences obtained above were aligned and the K2P distances were calculated. We used three methods, BLAST1, nearest distance and phylogenetic tree (NJ-tree), to test the identification ability. The results showed that the maximum intraspecific genetic distance of B. chinense was 0.013, and the minimum interspecific genetic distance between B. chinense and B. longiradiatum was 0.049. The NJ-tree can easily identify B. chinense and B. longiradiatum. Therefore, the ITS2 barcode is suitable to identify B. chinense and B. longiradiatum.

A new steroid with a long cross-conjugation structure, 15a-hydroxy-(22E, 24R)-ergosta-3, 5, 8 (14), 22-tetraen-7-one (1), was isolated from the marine-derived fungus Aspergillus aculeatus. Its structure was established by the extensive spectroscopic analyses, and its cytotoxicities against P388, HL-60, and PC-3 cell lines were measured in vitro.
