Objective To determine whether or not the bacterial DNA which was detected by PCR comes from viable bacteria.Methods Observe the effection of middle ear effusion(MEE) on DNA viscosity and enzymatic digestion of DNA.Results The middle ear effusion and DNA are stable and DNase 1 rapidly digests DNA,The effusion does not seem to degrade DNA.The middle ear effusion signifcantly inhibits DNase 1.Conclusions Middle ear effusion provides an inhibition of the enzymatic digestion of purified DNA.Thus any DNA found in effusion by PCR techniques could well be fossilized remains and chronic otitis media with effusion may not be the bacterial infection that recent studies have suggested.

Objective:To develop an HPLC-MS/MS method for the determination of rosuvastatin in plasma and study the relative bioavailability and bioequivalence of the capsules and tablets in Chinese healthy volunteers. Methods: A single oral dose (20 mg of the test or reference preparation) was given to 24 male healthy volunteers in a randomized crossover study. The plasma concentration of rosuvastatin was determined by HPLC-MS/MS. The pharmacokinetic parameters were calculated and the bioavailability and bioequiva-lence of the two preparations were evaluated by DAS 3. 0 software. Results:After a single dose, the pharmacokinetic parameters of ro-suvastatin capsules and tablets were as follows:Tmax was (3. 56 ± 1. 68) h and (3. 63 ± 1. 56) h, Cmax was (21. 17 ± 13. 74) ng· ml-1 and (26.33 ±23.22) ng·ml-1, t1/2 was (10.68 ±5.50) h and (9.04 ±6.00) h, AUC0-t was (219.31 ±146.09) ng·h· ml-1 and (252. 43 ± 194. 96) ng·h·ml-1 , AUC0-∞ was (225. 32 ± 146. 76) ng·h·ml-1 and (257. 24 ± 194. 61) ng·h·ml-1 , respectively. The 90% confidential interval of AUC0-t, AUC0-∞ and Cmax was 81. 1%-106% , 81. 8%-105. 4% and 77. 9%-104. 5%, respectively. The mean relative bioavailability of the test preparation(the capsules) to the reference preparation(the tablets) was (100. 7 ± 54. 1)%. Conclusion:The test and reference preparations are bioequivalent.

Objective To detect the PML-RARα fusion gene expression of APL patients with FISH and fluorescent quantitative PCR and discuss the sensitivity and specificity of two techniques. Methods The detection of the PML-RARα fusion gene expression of 75 APL patients with FISH and fluorescent quantitative PCR were carried out simultaneously. Results Eighty eight patients of primary and relapse or remission phases were examinated and total conformity rate was 96.59 %. Fourteen primary patients were detected and conformity rate was 100 %. Seventy four relapse or remission patients were detected and conformity rate was 95.95 %. Stem cell essays were detected for six times and conformity rate was 100 %. Conclusion The sensitivity of FISH and fluorescent quantitative PCR is identical for primary APL patients and FISH is more sensitive. But the sensitivity of FISH is weaker than that of fluorescent quantitative PCR for detection of residue disease.

In order to investigate the effect of nerve growth factor (NGF) on the proliferation of rabbit corneal endothelial cells and epithelial cells, the in vitro cultured rabbit corneal endothelial cells and epithelial cells were treated with different concentrations of NGF. MTT assay was used to examine the clonal growth and proliferation of the cells by determining the absorbency values at 570 nm. The results showed that NGF with three concentrations ranging from 5 U/mL to 500 U/mL enhanced the proliferation of rabbit corneal endothelial cells in a concentration-dependent manner. 50 U/mL and 500 U/mL NGF got more increase of proliferation than that of 5 U/mL NGF did. Meanwhile, 50 U/mL and 500 U/mL NGF could promote the proliferation of the rabbit corneal epithelial cells significantly in a concentration-dependent manner. However, 5 U/mL NGF did not enhance the proliferation of epithelial cells. It was suggested that exogenous NGF can stimulate the proliferation of both rabbit corneal endothelial and epithelial cells, but the extent of modulation is different.

AIM: To compare the adherent ability of Acanthamoeba to three kinds of contact lens (CL) and survey the effect to remove the Acanthamoeba from the surface of contact lens after blowing with stroke-physiological saline solution (SPSS) repeatedly.METHODS: Three kinds of contact lens were chosen in this experiment, including: rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lens, soft contact lens (SCL) and colored contact lens. They were co-cultivated with Acanthamoeba suspension for 16 hours. Then the number of Acanthamoeba adhered on CL was compared. Comparison was also made between different zones of colored CL. We also compared the number of Acanthamoeba adhered on CL in three groups after blowing with SPSS.RESULTS: The number of Acanthamoeba adhered to colored CL was more than RGP group and SCL group (P<0.05). The differences between RGP group and SCL group had no statistical significance (P>0.05). In colored CL group, the number of Acanthamoeba adhered to the colored zone was more than the Uncolored zone (P<0.01). In all the three groups, after blowing with SPSS, there was statistically significant decrease of the number of Acanthamoeba adhered to CL (P<0.01).CONCLUSION: Compared with RGP group and SCL group, the colored contact lens was more vulnerable to be adhered by Acanthamoeba. After being blown by SPSS repeatedly, the effect to eliminate Acanthamoeba has been improved greatly.

The ability to induce hypersensity on leaves of tomato and the stability of double-plasmid of an harpin-producing, nitrogen-fixing engineered strain E4 were tested. Hypelsensitivity-inducing experiment indicated that the time and density of hypersensitivity-induction of E4 was similar to those of DH5, the positive control of pCPP430. Although E4 took the same time to induce hypersensitivity as 308R, another positive control of pCPP430, it induced weaker hypersen- sitivity on tobacco leaves. On tomato leaves, there was no difference in time and density of hypersensitivity between E4 and 308R (pCPP430). Results revealed that the two plasmids, pCPP430 and pMC73A, were unstable in host bacteria, with the losing rate of 100% at the 48th generation. The emergence probability of bacteria with either pCPP430 or pMC73A was almost the same.
