Objective The antioxidative activities of extracts from Undaria pinnatifida in vitrowere tested. Methods Using the assay system of peroxide value (POV), diphenyl picryl-hydrazyl (DPPH), the antioxidative activities of various extracts were studied and comparedwith VE and VC. Results Different extracts from Undaria pinnatifida showed antioxidativeactivities, and petroleum ether extract showed the highest free radical scavenging efficiency.Conclusion petroleum ether extract has stronger antioxidative effect than others.

Objective Bioactive components were extracted from Sargassum fusiforme by using different solvents and their activities were detected in vitro in order to screen potential free radical scavenger.Methods Using the assay system of DPPH,superoxide radical,and in comparison with vitamin C,tea polyphenols and a series of extracts of sea tangle,laver.Results Different solvents had different extraction rates,and extracts by different solvents had different free radical scavenging activities.Conclusion 0.5%Na2CO3 solution had the highest extraction rate and extracts by this solution had the best scavenging ability as well.At the same time,the results obtained by DPPH detection method were more stable than those by the others.

AIM: To explore the relationship between various mitochondrial (mt) DNA tRNA Leu (UUR) and ND1 gene mutations and type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) among Chinese in Hubei Province. METHODS: PCR restriction fragment length polymorphism (PCR-RFLP) analysis was used to screen point mutations of mtDNA ( 3 243, 3 256, 3 290, 3 316, 3 394, 3 421, 3 426, 3 460, 3 593) in 174 T2DM and 207 healthy controls. Then, DNA sequencing, reverse dot blot hybridization and Genchip were used to compare and confirm mutations. All mutations were analyzed by DNASTAR and Antherprot softwares. RESULTS: In diabetic group, there were 5 carriers (2.9%) of 3 316 G→A (Ala→Thr) mutation, 4 (2.3%) of 3 394 T→C (Tyr→His) mutation, 1 (0.6%) of 3 593 T→C(Val→Ala) mutation, and 1 (0.6%) of 3 618 T→C(Phe→Phe) mutation. Among 3 316 (G→A) mutations , there were more than 1 point mutations in 2 cases, one accompanied with 3 256 C→T(Arg→Arg) and 3 688 G→C (Ala→Pro) mutations, another accompanied with 3 606 A→G(Leu→Leu) mutation. 3 606 (A→G), 3 618 (T→C) and 3 688 (G→C) were novel mutations, GenBank accession number is DQ092356. In controls, only 3 316 (G→A) mutation was found in 1 subject (0.5%). There was significant difference between two groups for 3 394 (T→C) mutation frequencies (P

Objective To explore the collagen, typeⅠ, α 1 chain ( COL1A1) gene mutation in a family with type 1 osteogenesis imperfect. Methods The medical records and DNA samples of an osteogenesis imperfect patient and her family members were collected, and their DNA sequencing were performed and compared with 50 non-relative healthy control from the same area. Results The proband and her three family members ( father, younger brother, and younger nephew) with clinical features of osteogenesis imperfect as well as prolactinoma were confirmed of COL1A1 gene mutation at the 24th intron with a shear mutation of c. 1669-1 G＞A which was not reported previously. Other family members were genetically normal compared with the normal. Conclusions We found a new COL1A1 gene mutation family and mutation site, but the relationship between osteogenesis imperfect and prolactinoma was unknown.

In order to respond to the call of the National Health Commission to implement day surgery, this study elaborated the work process and the efficiency improvement strategies of hip and knee joint replacement in ambulatory surgery centre in foreign countries. It summarized the good points in process, summarized the management experience, combined with domestic conditions. It explored the key steps and matters needing attention related to the ambulatory surgery center of hip and knee joint replacement to provide reference for operating efficiency and speeding up the process of Enhanced Rehabilitation After Surgery in orthopedic field.
