The lineage-Actinobacteria class nov.comprises organisms with a DNA base composition which generally is above 50% G+C (with a few exceptions).We set up a method that has been used in isolating Actinobacteria and Actinomycetes. We added 25?g/mL Nalidixic acid and 25?g/mL Aztreonam into isolation media to inhibit the other bacteria and 20?g/mL Benlete to inhibit fungi.We used fluorescent in situ hybridization to identi 1fy Actinobacteria. Using the four probes,PA-1,PA-2,PHGC and PNHGC,we made the identification on the 31 strains of the 56 gram-positive bacteria randomly selected and got 22 positive results,6 negative results and 3 ambiguous results.It was showed that the results of G+C content determination and FISH method were identical.Among 31 strain,there were 24 strains of Actinobacteria,the rate was 77.4%.This proved the isolation and FISH identification methods were effective and reliable.

Objective To investigate the effect of hydrogen sulfide postconditioning on the systolic function of left ventricle during myocardial ischemia-reperfusion (IR) in rats. Methods Part Ⅰ Adult male SD rats weighing 200-250 g were anesthetized with pentobarbital 40 mg/kg and heparin 250 U/kg. Their hearts were excised and perfused in a Langendorff apparatus with K-H solution saturated with 95% O2-5% CO2 at 37 ℃. Forty isolated rat hearts were randomly divided into 5 groups ( n = 8 each) after 20 min of equilibration: control group (group C); IR group; sodium hydrosulfide 1,10, 100 μmol/L postconditioning group (group SP1, SP10, SP100 ).In group Cthe hearts were perfused continuously for another 100 min. In group IR, the hearts were reperfused for 60 min after 40 min ischemia induced by 10 ml/kg ST. Thomas solution. In group SP1 , SP10 and SP100 the hearts were perfused with K-H solution containing sodium hydrosulfide 1, 10, 100 μmol/L for 2 min before reperfusion.LVDP and ± dp/dtmax were recorded at the end of equilibration and reperfusion. Part Ⅱ Cardiomyocytes were isolated from the male SD rats (weighing 200-250 g) and then cultured in CO2 incubator for 4 h. Sixty-four dishes of cultured myocytes were randomly divided into 4 groups( n = 16 each): control group (group C), hypoxia/reoxygenation group (group HR), hydrogen sulfide postconditioning group (group SP) and hypoxia postconditioning group (group HP). Group C were cultured continuously for 2 h. Group HR, SP and HP were exposed to 1 h hypoxia (95%N2-5%CO2 ) followed by 1 h reoxygenation. In group SP 10 μmol/L sodium hydrosulfide was added and the myocytes were then incubated for 2 min before reoxygenation. In group HP the cultured myocytes were expased to 3 min reoxygenation followed by 3 min hypoxia for 3 times before the 1 h reoxygenation. Mitochondrial membrane potential and F-actin expression were determined. Results Part Ⅰ Compared with group C, LVDP and ± dp/dtmax were significantly decreased at the end of reperfusion in group IR (P ＜ 0.05), while no significant difference was found in group SP1 , SP10 and SP100(P ＞0.05). Compared with group IR, LVDP and ± dp/dtmax were significantly increased in group SP ( P ＜ 0.05). There was no significant difference in LVDP and ± dp/dtmax among group SP1, SP10 and SP100(P ＞0.05). Part H Compared with group C, the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly decreased in group HR and HP, and the expression of F-actin was significantly up-regulated in group HR, SP and HP ( P ＜ 0.05). Compared with group HR, the mitochondrial membrane potential was significantly increased and the expression of F-actin up-regulated in group SP and HP ( P ＜ 0.05 ). There were no significant difference in the mitochondrial membrane potential and expression of F-actin between group SP and HP ( P ＞0.05).Conclusion Hydrogen sulfide postconditioning can improve left ventricular systolic function during IR in rats by stabilizing mitochondrial membrane potential and promoting aggregation of F-actin.

From August 2007 to April 2011,hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) (n =40),paraHCC tissues (n =10),seminoma (n =10) and cavernous hemangioma (n =10) were selected.And the method of immunohistochemical streptavidin-perosidase was applied to detect the protein expression of Nanog.The expression ratios of Nanog were 17/40 (42％),1/10,0/10 and 5/5 in HCC,para-HCC tissues,seminoma and cavernous hemangioma respectively.Its expression showed no significant correlation with the patient gender,age,serum alpha fetoprotein (AFP),hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg),differentiation,Child grade and TNM stage ( P ＞ 0.05 ).It may be used as a surface marker of liver cancer stem cell.

Objective:To provide clinical data for early identification and diagnosis of vascular embolism in children.Methods:We collected and analyzed the clinical data of children with vascular embolism diagnosed at the Children Medical Center of the First Affiliated Hospital of Hunan Normal University from January 2017 to January 2020.Results:A total of 29 children with vascular embolism were included.The male to female ratio was 2.2∶1(20/9); the age range was 1 month to 13 years, and the median age(IQR) was 16 (6-41)months.Among them, 22 cases were diagnosed with venous thrombosis, including 13 children with lower limb venous thrombosis(13/29, 44.8%), and six children with intracranial venous thrombosis(6/29, 20.7%). Arterial embolism was found in six cases, and left atrial appendage thrombosis was found in one case.Severe pneumonia was the most common primary disease(19/29, 65.5%), followed by cardiopulmonary resuscitation(3/29, 10.3%), and Kawasaki disease(3/29, 10.3%). Analysis on the risk factors of vascular embolization diseases, including catheter-related, long-term bed rest, elevated D-dimer, mechanical ventilation, and intravenous hormone administration, showed that 89.2%(25/29)had ≥3 risk factors at the same time, and 82.8%(24/29)had ≥5 risk factors at the same time.Conclusion:In children with vascular thrombotic diseases, deep venous thrombosis, especially lower extremity venous thrombosis, are common.The severe pneumonia is more common in primary disease.Children with multiple risk factors have a higher risk of developing vascular embolism.In clinic, coagulation function should be monitored and local symptoms should be observed for early identification.

OBJECTIVETo study the related risk factors for surgical site infection following Pilon fracture surgery. METH ODS: The data of 561 patients with Pilon fractures treated with open reduction plate osteosynthesis at our institution's trauma centre were collected from January 2006 to December 2012. All the patients were divided into two groups: infection group and non-infection group. In the infection group, there were 23 males and 10 females, ranging in age from 21 to 69 years old, with an average of (45.50±4.40) years old. In the non-infection group, there were 296 males and 232 females, ranging in age from 16 to 76 years old, with an average of (43.50±7.19) years old. The possible risk factors such as age, gender, smoking, diabetes, alcohol abuse, open fractures, compartment syndrome and operative time were studied. The multivariate Logistic regression model was used to analyze the risk, factors.

RESULTSThe infection rate of surgical site after Pilon fracture surgery was 5.88%. There were significant statistical differences between infection group and non-infection group in operative time, open fractures and compartment syndrome. However, multivariate Logistic regression analysis revealed that only operative time was significantly associated with surgical site infection (P=0.005, OR=44.92).

CONCLUSIONOperation time is an independent predictor for post-operative surgical site infection of Pilon fracture treated with open reduction plate osteosynthesis. Though open fracture and compartment syndrome could increase the surgical site infection rate, they could not not be considered as independent predictors.

Aim To investigate the change in neuropeptide Y(NPY) Y1 receptor level in infarcted myocardium tissues of (MI) rats. 　Method MI was induced by ligating the left descending anterior coronary artery (LAD) in the heart of rats. The techniques of reverse transcription polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) were used to identify the exist of NPY Y1 receptor mRNA in myocardial tissues. The technique of semi-quantitative PCR wa s used to observe the change of NPY Y1 receptor mRNA level. 　Results NPY Y1 receptor mRNA distributed in the heart tissues of rat. Compared with sham operated rats ,the NPY Y1 receptor mRNA level both in infarction area and non-infarction area was increased significantly after MI fo r 1d and 3d. The NPY Y1 receptor mRNA level in the heart tissues of sham-op erated rats was also significantly increased compared with that in control rats . 　Conclusion These results suggest that MI may result in increase NPY Y1 receptor level in the heart tissues of rats. Stre ss stimulation such as surgery may also increase the NPY Y1 receptor level in the heart.

Objective To explore the rationality of pancreaticojejunostomy and double purse embedded pancreaticogastrostomy in pancreaticoduodenectomy through comparing the short-term effects between pancreaticojejunostomy and double purse embedded pancreaticogastrostomy in pancreaticoduodenectomy.Methods A retrospective review was performed for 38 patients who were underwent pancreaticoduodenectomy at the second affiliated hospital of Kunming Medical University from January 2010 to December 2012.Results All 38 pancreaticoduodenectomy were performed successfully.The pancreatic fistula (0％),operationtime [(327.50±32.56) min],postoperative hospital days [(10.31 ±2.44) d] were found to be significantly lower in double purse embedded pancreaticogastrostomy group than those of pancreaticojejunostomy group [3/12,(425.83 ± 33.77) min,(14.33 ± 4.14) d],which has statistical significance(P＜0.05).Although the incidence of bile leakage,postoperative abdominal bleeding,delayed gastric emptying,infection of incision,infection of lung,intraoperative amount of bleeding are also lower than that of pancreaticojejunostomy group,which has no statistical significance.Conclusions Double purse embedded pancreaticogastrostomy is a digestive tract reconstruction which is safer and more reasonable than pancreaticojejunostomy.The former one is operated simply and the operation time is shorter.There are great advantages in the prevention of complications such as pancreatic fistula after pancreaticoduodenectomy.

The present study aims to predict the action targets of antidepressant active ingredients of Xiaoyaosan to understand the "multi-components, multi-targets and multi-pathways" mechanism. Using network pharmacology, the reported antidepressant active ingredients in Xiaoyaosan (saikosaponin A, saikosaponin C, saikosaponin D, ferulic acid, Z-ligustilide, atractylenolide I, atractylenolide II, atractylenolide III, paeoniflorin, albiflorin, liquiritin, glycyrrhizic acid and pachymic acid), were used to predict the targets of main active ingredients of Xiaoyaosan according to reversed pharmacophore matching method. The prediction was made via screening of the antidepressive drug targets approved by FDA in the DrugBank database and annotating the information of targets with the aid of MAS 3.0 biological molecular function software. The Cytoscape software was used to construct the Xiaoyaosan ingredients-targets-pathways network. The network analysis indicates that the active ingredients in Xiaoyaosan involve 25 targets in the energy metabolism-immune-signal transmutation relevant biological processes. The antidepressant effect of Xiaoyaosan reflects the features of traditional Chinese medicine in multi-components, multi-targets and multi-pathways. This research provides a scientific basis for elucidation of the antidepressant pharmacological mechanism of Xiaoyaosan.
