OBJECTIVE: To determine the contents of total flavonoids and quercetin in different parts of Apocynum venetum collected in Songnen grassland and study their antioxidant activities so as to provide references for efficient utilization of the herbal plant.METHODS: Ultrasonic extraction was applied to extract total flavonoids.The content of total flavonoids was determined by chromatometry and the content of quercetin was determined by HPLC.The antioxidant activities of the extracts from different parts of A.venetum were evaluated by determining their abilities in scavenging 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH?) radicals and?OH radicals.RESULTS: The contents of quercetin and total flavonoids were richer in both leaves and flowers of A.venetum than in stems.In addition,the total flavonoids extracted from the leaves and flowers of A.venetum showed higher antioxidant activity than from the stems.CONCLUSION: The leaves,flowers and stems of A.venetum can all be used as raw materials of natural antioxidants.

The publication and citation of academic papers are important indexes to evaluate science research level of colleges and institutes and also important index to evaluate researchers. In this paper we calculated and analyzed the number of publications, cited number, and cited frequency of SCI papers in three military medical universities and one military medical research institution from 1997 to 2006, and put forward some opinions and suggestions.

Mesenchymal stem cells(MSCs) can directly act on tumor cells to inhibit their growth,and could also migrate to the tissue lesions and tumor tissues to transfer and express many kinds of anti-cancer factors.Numerous researches have applied MSCs as carriers of drugs to induce apoptosis,inhibit differentiation of tumor cells and inhibit tumor angiogenesis,and have got outstanding antitumor results.

Through the review on the 2 months visit to College of Nursing of Michigan State University,I'd like to share the ideas with others.The conten of nursing education,clinical nursing,nursing research and patient safety to improve quality of nursing education.

Atherosclerosis is the outcome of polygenic inheritance and interaction of environmental factors.It is one of the important the diseases controlled by the epigenetic laws.DNA methylation is the first discovered and well-studied epigenetic molecular mechanism.There are a variety of ways for the detection of DNA methylation,each has its advantages and disadvantages.The abnormal methylation modification of genomic DNA comprehensive hypomethylation and related candidate genes is closely associated with the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis.This article reviews the related research progress.

Objective　To evaluate homology of 53 clinical str ains of M. chelonae abscessus subspecies which caused the nosocomial infecti on. Methods　Large restriction fragment (LRF) pattern analysis of genomic DNA by using pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was performed and differences of patterns were compared. Results　53 clinical strains had two types of LRF pat terns. 49 strains had the same one LRF pattern, the rest 4 had another pattern. Conclusions　The nosocomial postoperative M. Chelonae absc essus subspecies outbreak was mainly caused by the same infectious source. So pulsed-field gel electrophoresis was suitable for evaluating strain homolo gy and looking for infectious sourses.

The status of bioelectrical impedance measurement especially the multifrequency segmental bioelectrical impedance measurement of liver diseases is introduced.The multifrequency segmental bioelectrical impedance can well rule out the impact from the change of body weight caused by edema and ascites,and can evaluate the volume of ascites.Compared with single frequency bioelectrical impedance,the multi frequency bioelectrical impedance measurements probably display good prospect.It helps to produce objective judgement on nutrition status and energy metabolism for patients with liver diseases.The effect,however,needs further clinical research.

The rate of malnutrition occurrence in patients of hepatocirrhosis is high,and the most of them is the protein-energy malnutrition.Nutrition support is important in the therapy.The following aspects are introduced in the article,including the causation of malnutrition of hepatocirrhosis,appropriate rate of nitrogen and energy,nutritional route and the doctor′s recognition of malnutrition in patients of cirrhosis.

The construction of campus culture is all-around systemic project with quite abundant content.However,medical morality is indispensable in the construction of campus culture.This article concretely analyzes status of medical morality,expatiates on effect of medical morality in the construction of campus culture.Further,a discussion on the approach of medical morality which combines medical morality and the construction of campus culture is given.
