Rabbits were sensitized by Ginseng polysaccharide then the serum of the rabbits was collected and tested for the cytotoxity activity. The cytotoxic experiment in vitro revealed that the serum has cytotoxity in various degrees against maligant tumor cell lines of human and murine. The partly separated and purified immuned serum was injected into the Ehrlich 180 solid tumors of BALB/C mice. The fascinating hemorrhagic necrosis were find in the solid tumor. The bio-logical and physical feature of purified immuned serum were also analysed. The results indicate that the Ginseng polysaccharide can induce the endogenous production of TNF. The rabbit TNF was stable at 56℃ 30min. This results provided a reliable theoretic basis for the application of Ginseng polysaccharide in anti - tumor treatment.

AIM: To investigate the clinical significance in determination of the P- selectin levels in subjects with prethrombotic state or thrombosis by flow cytometry (FCM). METHODS: The P- selectin expression on platelet membrane in 42 patients with diabetes mellitus, 33 with hyperlipidemia, 23 with cerebral infarction and 20 healthy individuals, were analyzed using fluorescently - labeled SZ - 51 by direct FCM comparing with indirect FCM and enzyme- linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). RESULTS: The level of P- selectin on platelet membrane is higher in DM (23.92 % + 15.83 % ), in hyperlipidemia ( 18.34 % + 9.46 % ) and in cerebral infarction ( 19.32 % + 10.38 % ) than normal subjects (3.38 % + 1.11% ) ( P < 0.01 ). In addition, similar results on P - selectin were obtained by indirect FCM and ELISA in patients with DM and cerebral infarction. CONCLUSION: FITC - labeled SZ - 51 - IgG can be used in FCM, and it would be a new and sensitive method in detecting platelet activation.

BACKGROUND:Compared with smooth titanium, titania nanotubes cannot only induce mesenchymal stem cels osteogenic differentiation and promote bone integration, but also be used as drug nanocarriers. OBJECTIVE:To prepare dexamethasone-loaded titania nanotube system and to test its drug release characteristics. METHODS:Titania nanotubes were prepared by electrochemical anodic oxidation, and dexamethasone was dripped onto the prepared titania nanotubes. Subsequently layer by layer self-assembly technology was employed to fabricate gelatin/chitosan multilayered structure on the prepared samples. Scanning electron microscope and contact angle test were carried out during the process of building the gelatin/chitosan multilayered structure. The drug release was measured by a ultraviolet spectrophotometer. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Under the scanning electron microscopy, the fabricated titania nanotubes had integral structure with even tube size of about 70 nm and arranged regularly, and the nanotubes were completely covered and sealed by the gelatin/chitosan multilayered membrane. Contact angle test results showed that ever since the fifth layer, contact angles changed alternately and displayed a zigzag profile. Ultraviolet spectrophotometer test results showed that when cultured for 3 hours, the cumulative drug release was about 32.7% and demonstrated an initial burst folowed by sustained release. When cultured for 24 hours, the cumulative drug release about 52.3%. However, after cultured for 7 days, little drug release was detected. And there was about 8.0%-10.0% dexamethasone of initial loading preserved in nanotubes.

Objective To study the effects of CBL teaching mode on treatment plan making process among orthodontic postgraduates. Methods Totally 42 junior and senior orthodontic post-graduates were randomly divided into 2 groups (21 per group)named as experimental group and test group. Each group was further divided in to 3 teams involved in CBL and traditional teaching. Six cases of the same type malocclusion were selected each time;after 4 teaching cycle,test scores of two groups were analyzed with SPSS 19.0. Results were shown as mean ± standard deviation and t test andχ2 test were applied to evaluate the rationality and accuracy of treatment plan made by students. Survey questionnaire were issued to teachers and students after class and the assessment results of CBL teaching mode were summed up. Results Test scores were (88.61±8.34)in experimental group and (76.13±8.59)in control group with significant differences (t=3.16,P=0.01). Pass rate of two groups were 96.12%and 87.51%with significant differences (χ2=4.76,P=0.02). During the first teaching program, accurate rates of experimental group and control group were respectively 31.00% and 36.70% and ra-tionality were 33.31%and 33.30%. During the second teaching program,accurate rates of experimen-tal group and control group were 68.80%and 45.70%and rationality were 62.72%and 43.37%. During the third teaching program,accurate rates of experimental group and control group were 89.70% and 51.20%,and rationality were 95.00% and 66.70%. During the fourth program,accurate rates of ex-perimental group and control group were respectively 97.80% and 55.30% and rationality were 98.30% and 75.60%. Conclusions CBL teaching mode is helpful to improve the students' ability of analyzing clinical cases and making more accurate and rational treatment plan,however the increasing teaching cost and the course load are also involved.

Objective To observe the effect of lovastatin on plasminogen activator inhibitor -1 (PAI-1) and collagen type Ⅳ in rats with glomerularsclerosis induced by adriamycin,and to discuss its mechanism of protective effects on kidneys.Methods Twenty-four male Wistar nephritic rats induced by adriamycin were randomly divided into 3 groups:control,hyperlipidemia and lovastatin treatment group.They were fed 12 weeks.Urinary protein excretion and serum lipid were assayed,then renal glomerularsclerosis index,the expression of PAI-1 and collagen type Ⅳ were observed.Results Serum total cholesterol,triglycerides,low-density lipoprotein,urinary protein excretion,renal glomerularsclerosis index were significantly lower in treatment group than those in hyperlipidemia group.Expression of PAI-1 and collagen type Ⅳ,and number of foamcells were also sharply lower in treatment group than those in hyperlipidemia group.Conclusions Lovastatin not only reduces proteinuria,improves renal function,but also modulates glomerularsclerosis by inhibiting activity of PAI-1 and decreasing accumulation of collagen type Ⅳ.The mechanism of renal protective effect is independent of a reduction of circulating cholesterol.

Objective:To interpret the main revision about the test method for bacteriostat effect in Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2015 edition). Methods:The main difference of the bacteriostat effect test method in Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2015 edition) and (2010 edi-tion) was compared. Results:The bacteriostat effect test method in the 2015 edition was revised at a comparatively large scale in the positioning of bacteriostat effect test, product classification, assessment criteria and so on. Conclusion: The bacteriostat effect test method in Chinese Pharmacopoeia (2015 edition) gradually improves the check standards in line with the international standards.

Objective To explore the features of transsphenoidal microsurgical treatment of male pro- lactinoma and to evaluate the sexual function before and after transsphenoidal microsurgery.Methods A se- ries of 23 cases male prolactinoma were analysed combined with retrospective and prospective study.9 casese with sexual disfunction had finished the International Index of Erectile Function with 15-item questionnnaire (ⅡEF-15) before and after the surgery.Results 8/10 cases treated with dopaminergic agonist combined with surgery achieved complete remission,while only 4/13 cases achieved complete remission with surgery on- ly(x~2=5.490,P=0.036).Aecoding toⅡEF-15,sexual function improved after surgery in 9 cases(paired- sample) t test,P＜0.05).Conclusion Transsphenoidal microsurgical treatment of prolactinoma may im- prove the male sexual functions.Dopaminergic agonist combined transsphenoidal microsurgery may achieve a better outcome.
