Aim To study the anti-HBV effect of alcohol extract from styela plicata Lesueur,styela canopus Savigny and symplegma oceania Tokioka in vitro and estimate their function.Methods An assay system based on the sera of HBV infection and HBV clearance was used to assess their inhibitory effects on HBsAg,HBeAg,anti-HBs and anti-HBe.Results Alcohol extract from the three species of ascidians all had a definite inhibition effect on HBsAg when the concentration was over 2 g?L -1 and a favorable inhibition effect on HBeAg when the concentration was over 0.5 g?L -1.There was no significant difference in inhibiting the two kinds of antigen.Conclusion Alcohol extract from the three species of ascidians all had the definite inhibition effects on HBsAg and HBeAg from serum of Hepatitis B patients.The inhibition effects were dose-dependent. From the effcets of alcohol extract on anti-HBs and anti-HBe,we can estimate that there are about two kinds of anti-HBV compositions.One has the similar structure with the antibody,which can exterminate the HBV by the way of forming a uninfectious combination with the antigen. The other has a definite inhibition effect on the antigen,and also has some inhibition effect on the antibody.

Objective To study a new method of correcting flaring ear. Methods Auricular cartilage was slited from posterior auricula. On Gibson's principle of cartilage distortion antero-lateral cartilage membrane was scarified in order of the involute interpolation of anthelix and cartilage membrance was ground. Then the cartilage outside the slited line was put behind the cartilage inside the slited line. Finally,cartilage was operated with Mustarde's mattres suture. Results 12 patients with flaring ear ( 14 ears) were corrected with this operating method and appearance of corrected ears were very good after operation. Following up for 6-18 months, no one recurred. Conclusion Otoplasty of slited cartilage is an effective method of correcting flaring ear.

Objective: To identify Aconitum pendulum Busch. and Aconitum kongboense Lauener. Methods: Aconitum pendulum Busch. and Aconitum kongboense Lauener were identified by microscopical identification and TLC. And the contents of aconitine in the two herbs were determined by HPLC. Results:Microscopical identification showed they were different from each other, and aconitine was used as the reference component. Using the solution consisting of hexane ∶ethyl acetate ∶diethylamine (10 ∶6 ∶0. 8) as the developing solvent, the compositions in the two herbs were different in TLC. The content of aconitine in Aconitum pendulum Busch was 0. 71 mg· g-1 , while that in Aconitum kongboense Lauener was only 0. 03 mg·g-1 . Conclusion:Aconitum pendulum Busch. and Aconitum kong-boense Lauener Identified by microscopical identification, TLC and HPLC,SHOW NOTABLE differences between them, and Aconitum kongboense Lauener should not be used as Aconitum pendulum Busch.

Objective To explore the relationship between Mycoplasma pneumoniae infection and bronchial asthma, and provide a theoretical basis for the diagnosis and treatment of bronchial asthma .Methods 54 cases of children with bronchial asthma were selected as the observation group , treatment of children with herpes infection of the upper respiratory tract of 54 cases as the control group .Two groups of children were assayed by eosinophil count , interleukin-13 (IL-13), immunoglobulin IgE (MP-IgM) and Mycoplasma pneumoniae antibody detection .The positive rate of MP-IgM test in two groups were compared .According to the observation group , MP-IgM detection results were divided into MP -IgM positive group and MP -IgM negative group .Positive contrast group , MP-IgM MP-IgM negative group and a control group of children with eosinophil count , IL-13 and IgE were detected .Re-sults The positive rate of MP-IgM in children with observation group detection was 75.93%;The positive rate of MP-IgM in children with control group of detection was 27.78%;The positive rate of MP-IgM detection in chil-dren with the observation group was significantly higher than the control group ( p<0.05); The MP-IgM positive group, MP-IgM negative groups eosinophil count , the levels of IL-13 and IgE levels were significantly higher than that of control group (all p<0.05); In MP-IgM positive group, Eosinophils count (538.18 ±41.63) ×106/L, IL-13 level (253.27 ±40.36) ng/L and IgE level (327.13 ±56.91) kU/L were significantly higher than in MP -IgM negative group (all p<0.05).Conclusion The incidence of asthma is associated with mycoplasma pneumonia infection , and we should strengthen the detection and anti -infection treatment of Mycoplasma pneumoniae in children with asthma .

Bioceramics, because of their advantages such as biocompatibility and osteoconduction, have been widely used for bone repairing and bone substitute as bone tissue engineering materials. This study primarily compares the characteristics and the application range of some kinds of bioactive ceramics and biodegradable ceramics, and introduces their latest development in degradability and strength et al. Among these materials, calcium polyphosphate is a new material as bone tissue engineering scaffold. With a controllable degradation rate and the required strength, it has been paid much attention.

In order to explore the method to prepare hypoxia UW solution and the stability and preservation of hypoxia UW solution, UW solution was purged by argon or air for 15 min or 60 at a flow rate of 0.8 or 2 L/min, and the oxygen partial pressure of UW solution was detected. The hypoxia UW solution was exposed to the air or sealed up to preserve by using different methods, and the changes of oxygen partial pressure was tested. The results showed that oxygen partial presure of 50 mL UW solution, purged by argon for 15 min at a flow rate of 2 L/min, was declined from 242+/-6 mmHg to 83+/-10 mmHg. After exposure to the air, oxygen partial pressure of hypoxia UW solution was gradually increased to 160+/-7 mmHg at 48 h. After sealed up by the centrifuge tube and plastic bad filled with argon, oxygen partial pressure of hypoxia UW solution was stable, about 88+/-13 mmHg at 72 h. It was concluded that oxygen of UW solution could be purged by argon efficiently. Sealed up by the centrifuge tube and plastic bag filled with argon, oxygen partial pressure of UW solution could be stabilized.

Objective:To explore the relationship between the nitric oxide(NO)and the pathogenesis of the pulmonary hypertension(PH)induced by congenital heart disease(CHD). Method:NO content in plasma of CHD patient's pulmonory artery and superior vena cava was detected with NO kit. Result:NO content in the pulmonary artery of the patients with PH was much higher than that of patients without PH(37.58?9.99?mol/L vs 19.03?15.25?mol/L,P0.5). Conclusion:NO content in the pulmonary artery of CHD patients with PH increase,which may be involved in the pathogenesis of PH induced by CHD.

ObjectiveTo investigate the effect of remifentanil on hepatic ischemia-reperfusion (I/R) injury in rats with liver cirrhosis.MethodsThirty male SD rats weighing 260-300 g were randomly divided into 3 groups (n =10 each):group liver cirrhosis (group C); group liver cirrhosis + hepatic I/R (group I/R) and group remifentanil (group R).Liver cirrhosis was produced in all animals in the 3 goups.I/R injury was induced by 20 min occlusion of the hepatic artery and portal vein entering the middle and left lobes of the liver followed by 4 h reperfusion at 1 week after establishment of hepatic cirrhosis in I/R and R groups.In group R remifentanil was infused iv at 1 μg·kg-1 ·min-1 starting from 10 min before ischemia until the end of 4 h reperfusion.Venous blood samples were taken from inferior vena cava at the end of 4 h reperfusion for measurement of serum ALT and AST activities.The animals were then sacrificed and liver specimens were taken from middle lobe for determination of Bcl-2 and Bax expression (by immuno-histochemistry) and hepatocyte apoptosis (by TUNEL) and microscopic examination.Apoptosis index (percentage of apoptotic cells) was calculated.ResultsI/R significantly increased serum ALT and AST activities,Bax expression and apoptosis index and decreased Bcl-2 expression in group I/R as compared with group C.Remifentanil significantly attenuated the I/R-induced changes in serum ALT and AST activities,Bax and Bcl-2 expression and apoptosis in group R as compared with group I/R.Remifentanil also ameliorated I/R-induced liver damage.ConclusionRemifentanil can auenuate hepatic I/R injury in rats with liver cirrhosis by up-regulating Bcl-2 expression and down-regulating Bax expression and inhibiting apoptosis.
