Objective To investigate the expression of heparanase in transitional cell carcinoma of bladder(TCCB) and its correlation with prognosis in bladder cancer.Methods The expression of heparanase protein and microvessel formation was assessed by immunohistochemical staining in 80 bladder cancer speci- mens resected at various stages of disease and 20 non-tumor bladder tissues (controls).Results The overall positive rate of heparanase in 80 cases of bladder carcinoma was57.5% (n=46),it was significantly higher than in non-tumor bladder tissues (P

This study was aimed to extract and separate fibrauretine from Chinese herbal medicine Fibraurea recisa Pierre. and to prepare tetrahydropulmatine with fibrauretine. Extraction method of fibrauretine were optimized by the L9(34) orthogonal arrays as experimental designs. Then, elution chromatography method was studied with the macroporous adsorption resin chromatography technology. At last, tetrahydropulmatine was prepared by the reaction of sodium borohydride hydrogenating fibrauretine. The results showed that the content and yield of obtained fibrauretine were 36.40% and 3.17%, respectively. The reflux exacted methods of fibrauretine were with 10 times amount (v/w) of 50%ethanol solution for 2 hours and 3 times. Then, HPD-300 macroporous resin was used to absorb fibrauretine, and purify water. The 20% and 60% ethanol solution was used for elution. The content and yield of obtained fibrauretine were 65.47% and 82.44%, respectively. And the content and yield of obtained tetrahydropulmatine were 98.31% and 72.04%, respectively. It was concluded that the method can obtain fibrauretine with relative high content and yield. Using this material can obtain tetrahydrofibrauretine with relative high content and yield.

Objective To research the toxicokinetics model of lead acetate in the domestic rabbits.Methods Injecting lead acetate into the vein of the domestic rabbit at the dose of 3 mg/kg,then the blood was collected at the 10th,20th,30th,60th,90th,120th,180th,240th and 360th min.The concentrations of the blood lead were measured by differential potentiometric stripping analysis,the data were analyzed by DAS2.0 software.Results The linear was at the range of 10 to 50 ?g/ml,the major toxicokinetics parameters were:t1/2? = 8.60 min,t1/2? = 67.69 min,t1/2? = 729.84 min,V1= 77 033.08 L/kg,CL = 709.27 L/(min?kg),AUC(0-t) = 3 106.59 ng/(L?min).According to the smallest principle of AIC,the lead concentration in vivo conformed to the three compartmental models in domestic rabbit after injecting lead acetate at 3 mg/kg.Conclusion The lead concentration conforms to the three compartmental models in the domestic rabbit after intravascular injection of lead acetate,and it is eliminated according to the first order processes.

Distribution channel of Chinese herbal medicines has been changing. From Han to Ming Dynasty, Chinese herbal medicine were mainly trafficked to urban by dealers or farmers; From the Ming Dynasty to the foundation of new China, distribution channels are primarily intermediated with township "bazaar" and national distribution center with fixed place and regularly trading hours. In the planned economy period, the state-owned herbal medicine company was the sole medium with monopoly nature. From the mid1980s to the end of last century, planned economy and market economy have been co-existing. Stepping into 21st century, producing area highlighted in the distribution channels. Presence or absence and rise or fall of different types of distribution market went throughout the changing process of distribution channels, which became an important clue. Changes were motivated by economical consideration of channel subject, which originated from commodity characteristic and social environment changes.

Kinematical alignment during total knee arthroplasty is an emerging process, and draws more and more attentions from scholars. Knee joint is close to normal joint after TKA through kinematical alighment, which has good clinical results and functional scores, and not increase failure probility. Thus, it may increase joint stress of patella-femur joint, lead to patellar maltracking and increase abrasion. The paper summarized defination and basical principle, operative method, clinical outcomes and deficiency of kinematical alignment during total knee arthroplasty, in order to choose a better way for kinematical alignment during total knee arthroplasty.

Immobilization conditions of Candida tropicalis to be absorbed in polyurethane foam carrier materials were studied on the xylitol production from corn hemicellulosic hydrolysate. Optimum batch-fermentation conditions were as follows: inoculum amount, 7% (volume ratio); polyurethane foam quantity, 1.0 g/100 mL; 30?C; initial pH, 6.0. Shaking speed was divided into two-phase to accommodate the dissolved oxygen, with 200 r/min at 0~24 h and 150 r/min at 24 h~46 h. The immobilized cells on polyurethane foam carrier have high density and good resistance to inhibitors in the hydrolysates. Average xylitol yield and volumetric productivity of polyurethane foam immobilized fermentation were much higher than the fermentation without immobilization. Corn cob hydrolysates can be directly biotransformed to xylitol without decoloration or ion-exchange treatment. This process can effectively reduce production costs, and it shows broad prospects of applications. Average xylitol yield was 67.6% and xylitol volumetric productivity was 1.92 g/(L?h).
