Journal of Central South University(Medical Sciences) 2008;33(5):369-374
Objective To prepare chitosan (CS)-compound Yizhihao-nanoparticles (NP) and to investigate its antibacterial activity. Methods CS NPs were formed by the incorporation of CS and Na3PO4. CS-compound Yizhihao NPs were prepared by ion-cross-linking. The particle sizes and surface charges of CS NPs were determined by Malvern Zetasizer 1000-HAS and atomic force microscope (AFM), respectively. The antibacterial acitivity of CS-compound Yizhihao-NPs was studied in vitro and compared with that of compound Yizhihao powder. Results Malvern Zetasizer 1000-HAS and AFM demonstrated that the diameter of CS-compound Yizhihao NPs was (137.00±14.28)nm and CS NPs had (16.90±1.32)mV positive surface charges. The minimal inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of CS-compound Yizhihao NPs on Staphylococcus aureus,Pneumococcus,β-hemolytic streptococcus, and Escherichia coli were 1:32,1:32,1:16,and 1:2,respectively. The minimal bactericidal concentrations (MBC) of CS-compound Yizhihao-NPs on Staphylococcus aureus,Pneumococcus,β-hemolytic streptococcus, and Escherichia coli were 1:16,1:16,1:8, and 1:2,respectively. The antibacterial efficacy of CS-compound Yizhihao-NPs to Staphylococcus aureus,Pneumococcus,and β-hemolytic streptococcus had been improved significantly (P<0.05). Conclusion CS-compound Yizhihao-nanoparticles have obvious antibacterial activity to the Staphylococcus aureus,Pneumococcus,and β-hemolytic streptococcus,which lays the experimental foundation for new preparation of traditional Chinese medicine in future research.
3.Discussion on Situation and Future of Traditional Chinese Medical Theory in the Debate of Brain or Heart Governing Mind
Journal of Guangzhou University of Traditional Chinese Medicine 2004;0(05):-
This article aims at discussing the situation and future of traditional Chinese medical theory. By comparing the differences of the concept and knowledge about mind between traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and western medicine, the debate about the source and destination of "brain governing mind" and "heart governing mind" were analyzed and the meaning of mind was thoroughly explained. It is concluded that in the theory of TCM mind is the essence of life. To develop the theory of TCM, the eoncept of TCM terminology should be understood thoroughly; it should be neither misused nor applied mechanically. Only having a good and correct beginning, can the development of TCM theory and its guidance in clinic be achieved.

To separate the overlapped protein spots in two-dimensional gel electrophoresis (2-DE) images, we proposed an auto-separating algorithm based on valley characteristics. Firstly, the marker-controlled watershed algorithm was used to detect the initial outlines of the object regions. Secondly, medial axis transform and hierarchical branch pruning method were applied to the main skeletons of the object regions, and each main skeleton was fitted into line segments to describe the overlap directions. Then, the 3-dimensional model of the object region was scanned on the normal planes of the line segments to find the valley locations. And finally, a validation model was adopted to construct separation lines. The experiments on 2 real scanned 2-DE images showed that the true overlap separate (TOSs) were 78.95% and 85.71%, respectively. The results indicated that the proposed algorithm was better than the existing algorithms and could be used in engineering practice.

Objective To understand the origin and variation of the hemagglutinin gene of isolates viruses from 3 novel influenza A( H1N1 ) deaths in Changsha ( A/Hunan Kaifu/SWL4142/2009 ( H1N1 ) , A/Hunan Changsha/SWL4346/2009 ( H1 N1 ) and A/Hunan Furong/SWL4224/2009( H1N1 )). Methods The nasopharyngeal swab specimens from the 3 novel influenza A( H1N1 ) deaths in Changsha were tested by RT-PCR and influenza viruses were isolated simultaneously. With the sequencing primers recommended by World Health Organization (WHO), the HA gene of sequences of 3 novel influenza A( H1N1 ) deaths were tested by CEQTM 8000 Genetic Analysis System, through dye terminator cycle sequencing. The sequencing results were submitted to GenBank, then the results were analyzed for amino acid alignment and phylogenetic tree analysis with ClustalX and Mega4.1 software. Results All the nucleotide homologies of HA gene sequences in A/Hunan Kaifu/SWL4142/2009 ( H1N1 ), A/Hunan Changsha/SWL4346/2009 ( H1N1 ) and A/Hunan Furong/SWL4224/2009( H1N1 ) are 99% as compared with the novel influenza A( H1N1 ) virus strains of A/NewYork/3502/2009 ( H1N1 ), A/Shanghai/71T/2009 ( H1N1 ) and A/Chita/01/2009 ( H1N1 )The nucleotide homology of the 3 HA gene sequences are more than 99. 5% the same compared with the novel influenza A( H1N1 ) virus strain ( A/Sichuan/1/2009( H1N1 ) ) in China. Phylogenetic tree analysis reveals that 2009 novel influenza A(H1N1 ) viruses including 3 HA gene sequences of A/Hunan Kaifu/SWL4142/2009 ( H1 N1 ), A/Hunan Changsha/SWL4346/2009 ( H1N1 ), A/Hunan Furong/SWL4224/2009( H1N1 ) had a close evolutionary relationship with the swine H1 virus isolates in North America ( A/Swine/Indiana/P12439/00), but a distant evolutionary relationship with those human seasonal A( H1 N1 ) influenza virus and avian. After comparing with genes of A/Swine/Indiana/P12439/00, we found that the HA gene sequences of the 3 viruses isolated had 28,30 and 27 amino acids with mutation respectively, but only one (R53K) amino acids mutation at 21 important antigenic sites in the 3 viruses isolated. Multiple alignment of 364 HA genes sequences of novel influenza A ( H1N1 ) viruses in the world showed they had 119 nonconserved amino acids, 5 non-conserved position at important antigenic sites. Conclusions The HA gene sequences from 3 viruses isolated in this study and other influenza A ( H1N1 ) viruses might originate from swine A( H1N1 ) in North America by variation. The 3 HA gene sequences of viruses isolated have high homology as compared with the novel influenza A ( H1N1 ) virus strains worldwide, and the 3 HA gene sequences of viruses isolated are in stable condition as the vast majority of novel influenza A( H1N1 ) virus strains in the world.
