The physical and chemical factors affecting the allergenic potency of the house bdust mite Dermatophagoides farinae extract were determined by skin test and ELISA technique in the asthmatic patients sensitive to the mite. The results showed that the allergenic potency of the extract could be reduced by heat sterilization, trypsin trea-tment and lyophization,but not lost completely,and that the potency could be increasedby supersonic treatment and repeated freeze-thaw(but less than 10 times).It was alsoshowed that the allergenic potency of the extract preserved at -20℃ was more stablethan those preserved at 4℃ or at room temperature,and that the mite extract preservedat 4℃ more than 9 years still had allergenic potency.

Objective To set up a clean-up method using gel permeation chromatography(GPC)and ENVI-Carb-SPE.The residues of triadimefon and its metablites,triadimenol A and triadimenol B in ginseng were detected by GC-MS with negative chemical ionization(NCI).Methods The sample was extracted with acetone and the extract was cleaned using GPC and ENVI-Carb-SPE.Based on GC-MS(NCI)the pesticides were separated on a DB-5MS column using a temperature program and were detected with a mass selective detector in selective ion monitoring(SIM)mode.The reference solution was prepared by the blank sample extract to overcome the matrix effect,the external reference method was used to detect.Results Three pesticides were separated within 10 min.The average spiked recoveries in three levels were 90%—105% with relative standard deviations(RSD)below 6%(n=6)in roots and stems.The limits of detection(LOD)of triadimefon and triadimenols were 0.1 and 10 ?g/L.The precision was below 2%(n=6).Conclusion The method is sensitive for the residue analysis of three pesticides and could be used to the triadimefon and triadimenols detection and security control in ginseng.

Hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury is an important restricting factor of clinical liver resection and liver transplantation.When the liver is transiently deprived of blood followed by repeffusion,a large number of various mediators are released that can lead to cellular and,eventually,organ dysfunction.This review summarizes the pathogenesis and the protection mechanisms of hepatic ischemia/reperfusion injury.

BackgroundWhether the peeling of the inner limiting membrane (ILMP) increase the closure rate of idiopathic macular hole is still in controversy.Some ophthalmologist recommend vitrectomy combined with inner limiting membrane peeling for the treatment of idiopathic macular hole.However,the removal of ILMP is difficult because of its similar appearance to adjacent tissues.Objective This study was to investigate the efficacy of triamcinolone acetonide(TA) and indocyanine green(ICG) double staining-assisted vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling during the surgery.Methods A consecutive case- observational study was designed.The standardized vitrectomy was performed in 25 eye of 23 cases with IMH.During the vitrectomy,TA and ICG were injected into posterior pole vitreous to visualize and assist the ILM peeling.The dying effectiveness was observed,and the closure rate of macular hole,visual acuity,intraocular pressure and complications were evaluated after surgery.Written informed consent was obtained from each patient prior to operation.Results Posterior vitreous cortex and ILM were visible and the residual vitreous and cortex were removed clearly after dying of TA and ICG in all the 25 eyes.During the following-up duration of 3-8 months,the completely anatomical reattachment of the macular area was in 22 eyes ( 88.0％ ) and partially reattachment in 3 eyes( 12.0％ ).The best corrected vision was 0.07-0.60 in all of the operated eyes 2 months after surgery.Conclusions TA and ICG- assisted vitrectomy combined with ILM peeling appears to be a safe and effective method for IMH repair.

According to the patient examination criterion and the demands of all related departments, the DSA digital subtraction workstation has been successfully designed and is introduced in this paper by analyzing the characteristic of video source of DSA which was manufactured by GE Company and has no DICOM standard interface. The workstation includes images-capturing gateway and post-processing software. With the developed workstation, all images from this early DSA equipment are transformed into DICOM format and then are shared in different machines.

Objective To examine the effect of fibronectin connecting segment-1 (CS1) peptidefacilitated blockade of inflammatory cells-fibronectin adhesion on a rat liver transplantation model of prolonged ex vivo cold ischemia.Methods A model of liver transplantation in Wistar→Wistar rat was established.The donors of the CS1 treatment group received CS1 peptides through the tail vein for 3 days before operation.Another two doses of CS1 peptides were administered into the liver intraportally during procurement and before transplantion.Recipients received an additional 3-day course of CS1 peptides after transplantation.Rats in control group received scrambled peptides.Rats were sacrificed at 6,24 and 72 h after transplantion,and plasma transaminase activity and hepatic pathological changes were studied.The inflammatory cells and liver sinusoidal endothelial cells were visualized histochemically.Real-time PCR was used to detect tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α),interleukin-1β (IL-1β) and vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) mRNA expression in the liver.Results The plasma transaminase activity and hepatic necrosis areas in CS1 treatment group were significantly lower than in control group (P＜0.05).CS1 peptides treatment significantly decreased the number of Kupffer cells after transplantation and greatly inhibited the recruitment of neutrophils to the graft liver as compared with control group (P＜0.05).After prolonged cold ischemia,only a few hepatic endothelial cells exhibited positive staining of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cell biomarker SE-1.Lots of hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells positive for SE-1 staining could be detected in CS1 group at 72 h after transplantation,while much less SE-1 positive cells presented in the control goup.Prolonged cold ischemia caused a significant increase of TNF-α,IL-1β and VEGF mRNA expression in the graft liver of control group after transplantation.The expression of TNF-α mRNA at 6 and 24 h and VEGF mRNA expression at 24 h were significantly lower in CS1 group than in control group (P＜0.05).Conclusion Peptide-mediated blockade of inflammatory cells-fibronectin interaction decreased the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines,prevented hepatic sinusoidal endothelial cells from injury and subsequently protected against severe ischemia/reperfusion injury of the graft liver after transplantation.
