Quorum sensing systems of pathogens are central regulators for the expression of virulence factors. Increasing evidence implies that targeting the quorum sensing system of many pathogenic bacteria is a promising therapeutic approach to control infections. In this work,we isolated 47 strains of actinomycetes from the mud sample of Jiaozhou Bay. Quorum sensing inhibitory activity was monitored by Chromobacterium violaceum CV026. As a result,the culture broth extract of actinomycetes WA-7 was found to have significant quorum sensing inhibitory activity. This strain was assigned to the genus Streptomyces based on its 16S rDNA sequence. Further investigation revealed that the extract could inhibit the quorum sensing-controlled violacein and proteases production of C. violaceum in a concentration-dependent manner.

Objective To study the key points and preliminary experience in the application of laparoscopic pelvilithotomy combined with percutaneous nephrolithotomy(PCNL)surgery in multiple renal calculi. Methods Eight patients,accepted laparoscopic pelvilithotomy combined with PCNL surgery in our hospital from January 2008to December 2009,were enrolled into the study. Retroperitoneal approach were performed in all operations. The biggest stone was 3.3 cm ×2.3 cm,the smallest one was 0.5 cm ×0.5 cm. All patients had renal pelvis cast stone along with multiple small renal calyceal stones. The stones were removed under laparoscopic operation at the first step. If it was difficult to remove the pelvis cast stone,nephroscope were settled into the pelvis through incision,and then the shattered stone smashed by lithotripsy were removed under the observation of nephroscope. Further exploration and removal of the remaining stones in every calices was necessary for the patients. Results The operations were successful in all cases and all stones were removed thoroughly and get satisfactory effects. The average operation time was 90 minutes. No serious complications happened,such as bleeding,urine leakage or ureteral stricture. The average length of hospital stay was 5 days. Conclusions Our treatment combines the advantages of both laparoscopic pelvilithotomy and percutaneous nephrolithotomy to reduce the incidence of complications and improve the therapeutic effects.

Objective To study the expression of nuclear factor-kappaB (NF-κB) and the counts of lymph vessels in laryngeal squarnous cell carcinoma and polyps of vocal cord tissues, and explore their clinicopathologic significance and correlation in the course of laryngeal carcinoma. Methods SP immuno-histochemical method was used to detect the expression of NF-κB and the counts of lymph vessels on the routinely paraffln-embedded sections of the specimens from 50 cases laryngeal squamous cell carcinoma and 10 cases of polyps of vocal cord tissues. Results The positive rate of NF-κB and the counts of lymph ves-sels in laryngeal carcinoma[60. 0% ,( 13.3±3.4)/HP]were significantly higher ( P <0. 05 and P <0. 01respectively) than those in polyps of vocal cord tissues[10.0 % ,(6. 1±3. 8)/HP]. The positive rate of NF-κB and the counts of lymph vessels in well differentiated adenocarcinoma and cases without metastasis were significantly lower( P < 0. 05, P <0. 01 ), compared with poor-differentiated adenoearcinoma and ca-ses with metastasis. The counts of lymph vessels in the NF-κB positive cases were significantly higher than thoseinNF-κBnegativecases[(14.9±4.1)/HPvs (9.8±3.1)/ HP, P <0.01] . Conclusions The expression of NF-κB and the counts of lymph vessels might be important markers to be used to monitor the progression, biological behaviors, metastatic status and prognosis of laryngeal carcinoma. NF-κB might pro-mote lympoangiogenesis in laryngeal squnmous cell carcinoma tissues.

Objective To observe the effects of Bushen Huoxue Decoction on clinical symptom, vertigo degree and cognitive function for elderly patients with chronic cerebral circulation insufficiency (CCCI); To explore its possible mechanism. Methods Totally 70 cases were randomly divided into observation group and control group according to the random digits table method, with 35 cases in each group. The two groups were given Western medicine consisting of blood pressure control, glucose control and blood lipid control. Based on this, the control group was given Flunarizine Hydrochloride capsules, 5 mg once a day orally before sleeping. The observation group was given Bushen Huoxue Decoction, one dose a day and taken twice a day. The treatment lasted for 30 days. The TCM symptom score, Chinese version of dizziness handicap inventory (DHI) and Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA) score were observed. The mean blood flow velocity (Vm) of basilar artery (BA), bilateral vertebral artery (VA), bilateral middle cerebral artery (MCA) and the content of plasma acid phospholipid (AP) were detected, and the clinical efficacy was evaluated. Results The total effective rate of the observation group was 94.3％ (33/35), which was significantly higher than that of 82.9％ (29/35) in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05); after treatment, the TCM symptom score, DHI score, and the content of plasma AP were significantly lower than those of pre-treatment in the same group (P<0.05); the MoCA score and the Vm of VA, LBA, RBA, LMCA, RMCV were significantly higher than those of pre-treatment in the same group (P<0.05); the TCM symptom score, DHI score, MoCA score, the Vm of LVA, LMCA, RMCA and the content of plasma AP in the observation group were improved better than those in the control group, with statistical significance (P<0.05). Conclusion Bushen Huoxue Decoction has an obvious therapeutic effects for elderly patients with CCCI, which can improve clinical symptom, vertigo degree and cognitive level, which possible mechanism is related to increasing the cerebral blood flow velocity and reducing the content of plasma AP.
