Objective To study the subchronic toxicity of fipronil in rats and to protect and improve the environment and human health. Methods 80 SD rats were randomly divided into four groups,20 in each groups (10 males and 10 females). The rats were treated with fipronil by gavage,in doses of 25,10,4,0 mg/kg,once a day,10 ml/(kg?d),for 90 consecutive days. The test method was according to GB15670—1995. Results The acute toxicity symptom of rats in high dose showed that cachexia,dull,hair floppy. No acute toxicity symptoms were found in the moderate and low dose groups. No significant difference was found in the serum and urine routine test indexes. Liver index increased significantly in the high dose(25 mg/kg)and moderate dose(10 mg/kg) exposed rats. The activity of aspartateaminotransferase (AST) in the serum increased only in male rats. No significant changes in indicators were found in the low exposed rats. The histopathologic examination showed that in the high and moderate dose groups,in the liver,spot and focus necrosis,the hepatocytes around central veins became bigger and cloudy swelling,some hepatocytes presented ballooning degeneration. No obvious pathological change was seen in the low dose group. Conclusion Fipronil has a toxicity to the liver,based on 90 day oral toxic test in rats,no-observed adverse effect level (NOAEL) is 4 mg/(kg?d).

Objective To discuss the surgical method of resection of petroclival tumors used temporal base transtentorial approach.Methods Analyzed 26 cases of petroclival tumors.All of them were surgically treated under intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring by temporal base transtentorial approach.Firstly the supratentorial part of tumors were resected by pieces,and then the tentorium was cut open,in order to resect residue of the subtentorial part of tumors.This surgical maneuver was applied to reduce the retraction to surrounding vessels,nerves and brain stem,as well to protect important structures and to finally achieve radical removal of the tumors.The efficacy and complications were observed.Results Among 26 cases,19 cases (73.1％,19/26) achieved total removal,5 cases (19.2 ％,5/26) achieved subtotal removal and 2 cases (7.7％,2/26) achieved great partial removal.There was no surgery-related death.Eleven cases suffered from partial neurological deficit.All cases were followed up for 3 months to 4 years,3 cases underwent complete recovery,4 cases underwent partial recovery,and 4 cases underwent permanent deficit.Conclusions Using temporal base transtentorial approach to resect petroclival tumors is convenient,applicable,safe and with minimal injury and with high proportionality of total resection.Under intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring,this approach may be an ideal choice for surgical treatment of these tumors.

Background Clinical researches showed that antimicrobial-resistance of bacterium is gradually serious.It is very important to master pathogen distribution and antimicrobial susceptibility after eye surgery.Objective This study was to investigate the distribution and drug sensitivity of pathogenic bacteria from ocular operative infection in 3-year duration to provide a reference for reasonable selection of antibiotics.Methods Sixtyfive positive specimens were obtained from 65 patients due to postoperative infection in Department of Ophthalmology of Shenzhou Hospital and Shengjing Hospital from 2009 January through 2011 December.The pathogenic bacteria were isolated and then the drug sensitivity test of conventional antibiotics was performed.Results Among the 65 ophthalmic specimens,35 strains of Gram-positive bacteria were isolated with the constituent ratio 53.8％,and 15 strains of Gram-negative bacteria accounted for 23.1％.Fungus was found in 15 cases with the constituent ratio 23.1％.Staphylococcus epidermidis accounted for 42.9％ in Gram-positive bacteria,and Pseudomonas aeruginosa accounted for 33.3％ in Gram-negative bacteria.Aspergillus was the main component of fungus,which accounted for 60.0％ of the proportion 3 strains of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA) in 8 strains of Staphylococcus aureus,but no vancomycin-resistant Enterococcus (VRE) and vancomycin-resistant Staphylococcus (VRS) were seen.The in vitro drug sensitivity test showed that the main Gram-positive bacteria,Staphylococcus epidermidis and Staphylococcus aureus,were sensitive to linezolid,vancomycin,levofloxacin and ciprofloxacin with the sensitive rates ＞50.0％,and these bacteria were lowly sensitive to penicillin and erythromycin with the sensitive rates ≤30.0％.Pseudomonas aeruginosa appeared to be the main Gram-negative bacteria,showing a sensitive rate ≥ 80.0％ to tobramycin,amikacin,ceftazidime,cefepime,cefoperazone/sulbactam,piperacillin/tazobactam,imipenem and meropenem.Conclusions Staphylococcus epidermidis,Staphylococcus aureus,Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Aspergillus are primary pathogens in ocular infection after operation.Antibiotics such as penicillin,erythromycin,levofloxacin,cefotaxime seem to be relatively high resistant to eye infection.To choose sensitive antibiotics timely and reasonably is a key to the prevention and control of ocular infection after operation.

Background and purpose:DOC-2 serves as one of the tumor suppressing genes in human ovarian cancer and plays a role in the process of cell growth and differentiation.This study was to investigate the role of DOC-2 in the TGF? signal pathway and verification of the interaction between DOC-2 and TGF?Ⅲ receptor.Methods:The bait vector was constructed by inserting the PID domain of DOC-2(nDOC-2)into yeast express vector pGBKT7.pGBKT7-nDOC2 was transformed into the yeast AH109 and confirmed to be expressed.After the human foetus brain cDNA library had been transformed,the positive clones was screened by both nutrition defect medium and X-?-gal.The putative positive clones were sequenced and analyzed to get the DOC-2 interactive proteins.Furthermore,after the DOC-2 cDNA and TGF?Ⅲ receptor cDNA had been co-transfected into the human ovarian cancer cell line HO-8910 together,the interaction between DOC-2 and TGF?Ⅲ receptor was investigated by immunoprecipitation and Western blot.Results:21 putative positive clones were picked after being screened and sequenced.Three of them were identified as Homo sapiens partial mRNA for betaglycan(TBR Ⅲ gene),homo sapiens protocadherin gamma subfamily C3(PCDHGC3)and APLP1(amyloid beta precursor-like protein 1).The analysis by immunoprecipitation and Western blot showed that the interaction between DOC-2 and TGF?Ⅲ receptor could form protein complex.Conclusions:The three encoding proteins might participate in the DOC-2 signal pathway.DOC-2 might play as an essential role in the TGF?signal pathway by interacting with TGF?Ⅲ receptor.

OBJECTIVE:To explore the effects and safety of Hedan tablets on the levels of blood lipid,inflammatory factors and oxidative stress in coronary heart disease(CHD)patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus(DM2). METHODS:A total of 118 pa-tients diagnosed as CHD with DM2 were collected from our hospital during Jul. 2013-Nov. 2015,and then divided into observation group(63 cases)and control group(55 cases)according to random number table. Control group received conventional treatment such as controlling blood glucose,regulating blood lipid,vasodilator,anticoagulant. Observation group additionally received He-dan tablets 1.46 g before meal,tid,on the basis of control group. Both groups received treatment for 6 months. The levels of blood lipid (TC,TG,LDL-C,HDL-C),serum inflammatory factors (TNF-α ,IL-10,IL-6,hs-CRP) and oxidative stress indexes (MDA,SOD,NO)before and after treatment as well as the occurrence of ADR were compared in 2 groups. RESULTS:Before treatment,there was no statistical significance in levels of blood lipid,serum inflammatory factors or oxidative stress indexes be-tween 2 groups(P>0.05). After treatment,the serum levels of TC,TG,LDL-C,TNF-α,IL-6,hs-CRP and MDA in 2 groups were decreased significantly,while those of IL-10,SOD and NO were increased significantly;the observation group was signifi-cantly better than the control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). There was no statistical significance in the incidence of ADR between 2 groups(P>0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Hedan tablets can effectively improve the level of blood lipid,reduce the lev-el of inflammatory factors,relieve inflammatory injury,reduce the level of oxygen free radical,strengthen antioxidant capacity and lighten oxidative stress injury with good safety.
