Objective:To observe the effect and safety of the inhalation of Lanqin oral solutions combined with interferon in the treatment of children herpes angina. Methods:The children with herpes angina were randomly divided into two groups. On the basis of support treatment, the control group (57 cases) was intravenously treated with ribavirin, and the observation group (58 cases) was treated with the combined inhalation of interferon and Lanqin oral solutions. The time of transference cure, total efficiency and adverse drug reactions in the two groups were observed and compared. Results:The time of transference cure of the observation group was sig-nificantly shorter than that of the control group (P<0. 05) with higher total efficiency (P<0. 05). The adverse drug reactions were few and mild in the two groups. Conclusion:The inhalation of Lanqin oral solutions combined with interferon in the treatment of chil-dren with herpes angina is effective with short transference cure time, convenience of use and promising security, which is worthy of clinical application.

Objective To observe the function of recombinant human tissue factor pathway inhibitor1(rTFPI-1)in acute myocardial infarction in rabbit. Method Forty New Zealand White rabbits were subjected to coronary artery occlusion for 120 min and followed by reperfusion for 60 min,then they were ranlow dose rTFPI-1 group(n=10/group).The extent of ischemic area and the extent of myocardial infarction area were measured by Evan's blue stain and TTC stain,respectively.The degrees of infarction severity and ischemic severity were expressed as the ratios of the total left ventrieular wall area.The degrees of infarction severity and ischemic severity in different groups were compared by using one-way ANOVA and then followed by LSD procedure.Results The degree of infarction severity in the larger dose rTFPI-1 group was significantly lessened than that in low dose RTFPI-1 group and control group(P<0.001),and than that in modcrate dose rTFPI-1 group as well(P<0.05).The degree of infarction severity in the moderate dose rTFPI1 group was significantly lessened than that in low dose rTFPI-1 group and control group(P<0.001).There was no significant difference in degree of infarction severity between low dose rTFPI-1 group and control group(P>0.05).Conclusions Human rTFPI-1 might decrease myocardial infarction severity and save the survival myocardial tissue.

Seven cases of renal tumor treated at our hospital from May 2009 to November 2011 were assigned to undergo laparoscopic ultrasonography assisted laparoscopic partial nephreetomy.The mean operative duration was 109 minutes (range:102-121).And the mean volume of blood loss was 82 ml (range:60-120).All patients had confirmed negative margins.Renal clear cell carcinoma was definitely diagnosed in all cases.Laparoscopic ultrasonography could provide more precise information of renal tumor within renal capsule.Thus it may be used to guide the operation so that tumors are excised more completely,residual tumor tissues avoided and normal renal tissues protected.

BACKGROUND: The most commonly used rod-screw posterior spinal fixation system has some biomechanical drawbacks. The screw-plate system is more preferred for patients.OBJECTIVE: To prepare a new posterior spinal fixation system based on imaging results of distance between two pedicles,radian of spine flexion, extension and the height of intervertebral space of Chinese population.METHODS: The thoracolumbar data of 129 normal people were measured. According to the imaging measurements and relative documents, a device of gear-distraction plate (GDP) for spine reduction and fixation was designed. Eighteen fresh calf lumbar specimens were randomly divided into 3 groups, the test group was fixed by GDP and the other groups were fixed by CD and Steffee plate, respectively. The results of the displacement, strain, strength, stiffness and ultimate strength were measured under the states of vertical compression, flexion, extension and lateral bending respectively, and the results were statistically analyzed.RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: GDP could meet the need of strength and stiffness of human bodies. It showed superior to the CD and Steffee plate groups in strength and stiffness (P < 0.05), with 13% or 14% torsion intensity greater than that of the CD or Steffee plate groups. The ultimate mechanical performance test showed that, the load bearing of the GDP group was greater than that of the CD and Steffee plate groups (P < 0.05). The findings demonstrated that GDP for Chinese human presented with good biomechanical stability, which can promote vertebrae fracture union and prevent kyphosis relapses or vertebral height loses.

To study the roles of glucosylglycerol phosphate synthase (Ggps) in glucosylglycerol (GG) and glycerol biosynthesis, we over-expressed Ggps from either Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 or Synechococcus sp. PCC 7002 in a Synechocystis strain with a high GG titer, and determined the GG and glycerol accumulation in the resultant mutants grown under different NaCl-stress conditions. Ion chromatography results revealed that GG yield was not improved, but glycerol production was significantly enhanced by over-expression of Ggps from Synechocystis sp. PCC 6803 (6803ggpS). In addition, increasing the NaCl concentration of medium from 600 to 900 mmol/L led to a further 75% increase of glycerol accumulation in the mutant strain with 6803ggpS over-expression. These findings show the role of ggpS in driving the carbon flux to the glycerol biosynthesis pathway, and will be helpful for further improvement of GG and glycerol production in Synechocystis.

A new HPLC-UV technique for the separation and analysis of 10 monosaccharides achieved within 13.5 min using 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone (PMP) as the labelling molecule of the reductive monosaccharides has been established by combining common high performance liquid chromatography-UV and C18 column. The established technique was applied to the quantification of the monosaccharide components in extract of Silybum marianum. The results showed that the tested 10 monosaccharides as PMP derivatives were baseline separated under the HPLC conditions proposed. It was confirmed that Silybum marianum extract was composed of mannose, rhamnose, glucuronic acid, galacturonic acid, glucose, xylose, galactose and arabinose with the molar ratio of 0.66:0.84:0.58:1.0:1.6:0.69:2.7:4.8. Quantitative recoveries of the compositional monosaccharides separated from the extract were in the range of 92.4%-104.0%, and the RSD values fell within 0.68%-3.81%. The results demonstrated that the proposed HPLC method was simple, rapid, convenient, and precise, and it was applicable to the analysis of the compositional monosaccharides of Silybum marianum extract.
