Strains from the cellulose-containing environment were collected. Primary screening (by filter-paper Hutchison solid culture medium and sodium carboxymethylcellulose solid culture medium) and reelection(by filter-paper inorganic salt culture medium and sodium carboxymethylcellulose Congo red culture medium) indicated that five strains obtained were best suited for high performance cellulose degradation. Determination of sodium carboxymethylcellulose activity(CMCA) and filter paper activity(FPA) was accomplished for each of the five. The strongest of the five in CMCA and FPA was applied to the production of cellulose bioethanol by separate hydrolysis and fermentation(SHF) and simultaneous saccharification and fermentation(SSF) respectively.

Objective To explore the effect of early screening and psychotherapy on post stroke depression. Methods 80 patients with stroke at first onset were assessed with Hamilton Rating Scale for Depression (HAMD-17). Patients with depression were divided into control group (n=21) and intervention group (n=21). Both groups received rehabilitation therapy and the intervention group received psychotherapy in addition. They were assessed with HAMD again 2 months after treatment. All of them were evaluated with modified Barthel index (MBI). Results 52.5% patients had post stroke depression. The score of HAMD-17 was lower in the intervention group than in the control group (P<0.01). There was no significant difference in MBI between 2 groups after treatment (P>0.05). Conclusion Early screening and psychotherapy can facilitate the recovery of patients with depression after stroke.

Objective To localize the upper airway obstruction of patients with obstructive sleep apnea hypopnea syndrome (OSAHS)with the Cinema Magnetic Resonance(Cine-MR) and fiber optic laryngoscope with Müller maneuver(FLMM)before operation and discuss the clinical application values.Methods Before operation, FLMM and Cine-MR were applied to 22 patients diagnosed as OSAHS by Polysomnography(PSG).Medical examinations conducted in this study from September 2015 to April 2016 to examine the obstruction of the soft palate region, the lingual region and epiglottis.Results There were complete agreements between the Cine-MR and FLMM at locating obstruction sites of the soft palate (n=22/n=22),and there were moderate agreements between the Cine-MR and FLMM in locating obstruction sites of the retroglottal region(n=13/n=6),epiglottal region (n=4/n=2)and multiple level(n=13/n=6), respectively.Conclusion For those moderate and severe OSAHS patients with multiple sites obstruction , the preoperative application of the Cine-MR and FLMM together will be better in locating the obstruction sites.

The objective of the present study was to establish a method based on principal component analysis (PCA) for the study of transdermal delivery of Chinese medicinal formulae, and to choose the best penetration enhancers for Qingfei Xiaocuo gel depend on this method. Using improved Franz type diffusion cell and excised rat skin in vitro as transdermal barrier, the receptive solution fingerprint was established by HPLC, harvesting the areas of the common peaks in the fingerprint, then the total factor scores of the concentrations at different times were calculated using PCA and were employed instead of the concentrations to compute the cumulative amounts (Q12) and enhancement ratio (ER), the latter of which were considered as the indexes for optimizing penetration enhancers. Compare to the control group, the ER of the other groups increased significantly and furthermore, 2.5% azone with 2.5% menthol manifested the best effect. PCA represent most information in the receptive solution, the method above could choose the best penetration enhancers, it could be a reference for the study of transdermal delivery of Chinese medicinal formulae.

In this study, the flow injection (FI) technology combined with the unique step wise multiple ions monitoring scanning (step-wise MIM) mode of Qtrap-MS was first established for the identification and discrimination of eight Murraya species. It only takes 5 min for each sample to detect approximate 600 compounds. The characteristic MS chromatograms of eight Murraya plants were analyzed by Analyst and SIMCA-P. The results of PCA showed that sect. Murraya and sect. Bergera were clearly divided into two categories, suggesting that there is difference in the chemical compositions between these two groups. Further detail analysis of the MS data could realize the preliminary structure elucidation of the component types contained in different plants. The main components in M. exotica and M. alata are coumarins, and polymethoxyflavones are rich in M. paniculata, while carbazole alkaloids are the major ones in sect. Bergera plants. The results are consistent with our previous comprehensive analysis of the chemical components of Murraya species. In conclusion, our research confirmed that FI-Qtrap-MS technology can be used for rapid identification and differentiation of similar plant species, providing reference for chemical taxonomy and a new method for the quality evaluation of medicinal materials.

Objective To compare the influences of different dilution titers on the ANA detection by the indirect immunofluores‐cence assay(IIF) in children for investigating the necessity of reducing serum initial dilution titer .Methods Serum ANA was detec‐ted by using the indirect immunofluorescence assay at a serial of dilution titer in 110 healthy controls and the results were compared with the results of specific ANAs by the linear immunoassay (LIA);meanwhile the ANA‐LIA results in clinical children patients with ANA‐IIF negative were also analyzed .Results With the dilution titers gradual decrease from 1∶80 ,1∶40 and 1∶20 in the samples of the health group ,the positive detection rates of ANA‐IIF were risen ,which were 7 .3% ,9 .1% and 10 .9% respectively , but the differences were not statistically significant (P>0 .05) ,the weak‐positive rates were 7 .3% ,15 .5% and 31 .8% respective‐ly ,the differences were statistically significant (P<0 .01) .Among 110 healthy children under going the physical examination ,the specific ANA was detected out in 8 samples ,the positive rate was 7 .3% .Among 8 positive cases at the dilution titer of 1∶80 by the IIF method ,specific ANA was in 2 cases;in 4 added cases of fluorescence ANA positive samples at the dilution titers of 1∶40 and 1∶20 ,specific ANA was in 1 case .If with any positive of ANA‐IIF(1∶80) or ANA‐LIA as the ANA positive ,the ANA positive rate was risen from 7 .3% to 12 .7% .In the clinical samples among 29 cases of ANA‐IIF(1∶80) negative autoimmune liver disease related autoantibody detection ,the specific ANA‐LIA positive was detected in 5 cases (17 .2% ) .Conclusion Reducing the initial ti‐ter of children serum is unable to obviously increase the ANA‐IIF positive detection rate ,on the contrary increases the non‐specific weak positive .Therefore ,clinical laboratory does not change the dilution titer of children routine ANA sample .The detection by combining with the specific ANA‐LIA spectrum is conducive to find ANA .

Platinum-based anticancer drugs have been becoming one of the most effective drugs for clinical treatment of malignant tumors for its unique mechanism of action and broad range of anticancer spectrum. But, there are still several problems such as side effects, drug resistance/cross resistance and no-specific targeting, becoming obstacles to restrict its expanding of clinical application. In recent years, supramolecular chemistry drug delivery systems have been gradually concerned for their favorable safety and low toxicity. Supramolecular macrocycles-platinum complexes increased the water solubility, stability and safety of traditional platinum drugs, and have become hot focus of developing novel platinum-based anticancer drugs because of its potential targeting of tumor tissues/organs. This article concentrates in the research progress of the new drug delivery system between platinum-based anticancer drugs with three generations of macrocycles: crown ether, cyclodextrin, cucurbituril and calixarene.
