Objective The dynamic accumulation trend of secondary metabolite in cultivated Spatholobus suberectus Dunn at different growth time was studied to provide scientific basis for confirming its reasonable harvesting time. Methods Ethanol-soluble extractives were measured by the method recorded in Chinese Pharmacopoeia ( A) Appendix XA ( 2010 edition). The content of total flavonoids was tested by ultraviolet spectrophotometer. The contents of protocatechuic acid, catechin, and epicatechin in Spatholobus suberectus Dunn were determined by high performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC). Results The contents of ethanol-soluble extractives, total flavonoids and the major components such as protocatechui cacid, catechin and epicatechin in Spatholobus suberectus Dunn showed increasing trend with the prolongation of growth time. The changes of contents of alcohol-soluble extract, total flavonoids and epicatechin in samples collecting at different months in one year showed a parabolic trend, and the contents reached the peak values from July to September. Catechin content kept increasing continually. The content of ethanol -soluble extractives of Spatholobus suberectus Dunn aged 4-6 years met the requirements of the current edition of Chinese Pharmacopoeia when harvested from July to September. Conclusion It is preliminarily recommended that Spatholobus suberectus Dunn cultivated for more than 7 years is suitable for harvesting, but the optimal harvest period and the harvest month still need to be further studied.

Objective To investigate the diagnosis value of 128-slice spiral CT in patients with adult intussusception. Methods Direct features of 128-slice spiral CT of 63 adult intussusception patients confirmed by operation and pathology were analyzed retrospectively. Results In 63 cases of intussusceptions, 1 case had idiopathic intussusception, and the other 62 cases had secondary intussusception (1 case with multiple intussusceptions). Direct signs included:target signin 60 cases,double intestines signin 59 cases,blood vessel curling signin 56 cases, andcomet-tail signandkidney signin 51 cases. Lipoma was the most common benign lesions of intussusception, and colon cancer was the most common malignant lesions of intussusception. Conclusions The 128-slice spiral CT combined with multiple plane restructuring has the important value in diagnosing adult intussusception.

Chronic infection of hepatitis B virus(HBV)presents one of the serious public health challenges worldwide.Current treatment of chronic hepatitis B(CHB)is limited,and is composed of interferon and nucleoside/nucleotide reverse transcriptase inhibitors(NRTI).Interferon is poorly tolerated and is only responsive in a small fraction of CHB patients and NRTIs often face the problem of emergence of drug resistance during long-term treatment.The current treatment of CHB earl be improved in several ways including genotyping mutations associated with drug resistance before treatment to guide the choice of NRTIs and suitable combinations among NRTIs and interferon.It is important to continue research in the identification of novel therapeutic targets in the life cycle of HBV or in the host immune system to stimulate the development of new antiviral agents and immunotherapies.Several antivirai agents targeting HBV entry,cecDNA,capsid formation,viral morphogenesis and virion secretion,as well as two therapeutic vaccines are currently being evaluated in preclinical studies or in clinical trials to assess their anti-HBV efficacy.

Objective Through the detections of the heterozygote frequencies tests of fetal specific genes PLAC4 and COL6A2 mRNA alleles in plasma of pregnant women, to explore its possibility of application in the noninvasive prenatal screenings of trisomy-21. Methods A toltal of 500 cases (males and females 250 cases respectively)of Han ethnic groups with Henan Provice of China who were subject to the physical checkup clinic of the Third Affiliated Hospital,Zhengzhou University from June to December, 2013 were selected as the healthy physical checkup group, and such techniques as DNA sequencing and PCR-restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) were adopted to the determinations of the heterozygote frequencies of the single nucleotide polymorphism(SNP)of the PLAC4 and COL6A2 genes in the maternal peripheral blood in the healthy physical checkup group, and the differential comparisons of the determination results of the SNP heterozygote frequencies and the corresponding heterozygote frequencies in the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI) database;30 cases of healthy pregnant women who spontaneously underwent pregnancy checkups at the maternity clinic were randomly selected as the healthy pregnancy group, and real-time fluorescence quantitative reverse transcription-PCR technique was adopted for determining the expression levels of PLAC4 and COL6A2 mRNA in the peripheral blood of pregnant women of 8 weeks, 10 weeks, 12 weeks, 14 weeks and 16 weeks;40 cases of the same phase were selected for acting as the specimens for the karyotype analyses of the amniotic fluid cells, among which 20 cases were trisomy-21, and the 20 cases of the negative control group, and reverse transcription-multiplex ligation dependent probe amplification (RT-MLPA) technique was adopted for screening the fetal trisomy-21. Results (1) The allele heterozygote frequencies of the SNP of the healthy physical checkup group:determinations of the genotypes and hybrid rates of the 10 SNP sites of the PLAC4 and COL6A2 genes indicated that those with higher heterozygote frequencies were respectively rs7717, rs559, rs1044598, rs59066201 and rs1042917, with population coverage of 98%. Among them, the allele hybrid rates of rs59066201 were never seen in the NCBI database;in the respective comparisons of the allele hybrid rates of rs8130833, rs9977003 and rs7844 with the hybrid rates of the NCBI database, the variations had statistical significance (P<0.05). (2) The expression levels of PLAC4 and COL6A2 mRNA of the different pregnancy weeks of the healthy pregnancy group: the levels of PLAC4 mRNA in the peripheral blood of women of 8 weeks, 10 weeks, 12 weeks, 14 weeks and 16 weeks of pregnancy were respectively 7.22 ± 1.05, 8.02±1.41,9.51±1.69,11.33±2.11 and 13.31±2.58, with their expression levels rising along with the increase of the pregnancy weeks; among them, the comparison of pregnancy 8 weeks and pregnancy 10 weeks, the variations had no statistical significance (P>0.05);in the mutual comparisons among the expression levels of the various pregnancy weeks, the variations had statistical significance (P<0.05). The expression levels of COL6A2 mRNA in 8 weeks, 10 weeks, 12 weeks, 14 weeks and 16 weeks were respectively 8.95 ± 1.28, 11.19 ± 1.36,15.00 ± 1.58,16.87 ± 1.72 and 18.96 ± 2.79, with their expression levels rising along with the increase of the pregnancy weeks, and in the mutual comparisons between the expression levels of the various pregnancy weeks, the variations all had statistical significance (P<0.05). (3) Prenatal screenings of trisomy-21 in the validation group of the trisome:a total of 5 sites of rs7717, rs559, rs1044598, rs59066201 and rs1042917 were selected from the allele heterozygote frequencies of SNP sites were selected from the subjects of the healthy physical checkup group, and 10 cases of trisomy-21 specimens and 10 cases of negative CTR specimens were accurately determined, with the sensitivity reached 80%(17/20), and the specificity reached 90%(18/20). One case of the trisomy-21 and two negative cases were both homozygotes, and among the trisomy-21 specimens of two cases, only one SNP was a heterozygote, and it was impossible to conduct screenings on these 5 cases, with the screening accuracy reaching 100%(35/35). Conclusions Fetal specific genes PLAC4 and COL6A2 mRNA are expressed in the peripheral blood of pregnant women in different gestational age;its expression level increases with the increase of gestational age. Among them, five SNP including rs7717, rs559, rs1044598, rs59066201 and rs1042917 show highest heterogeneity rate, which is different from the corresponding heterogeneity rate in NCBI database. RT-MLPA technology is a rapid, effective, noninvasive and low cost method of prenatal screening 21 trisomy.
