Objective: To investigate the effect of adhesion of Lactobacillus reuteri JCM1081 to enterocyte-like HT-29 cells on filamentous cytoskeleton.Methods:Cultured human intestinal enterocyte-like HT-29 cells were used.Cell permeability was examined in vitro by Evans blue labeled albumin and Examination of F-actin was conducted by direct immuno-fluorescence labeling using fluorescein labeled phalloidin.Results:Lactobacillus reuteri JCM1081 did not alter cell integrity and prevented the increase in permeability induced by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli infection.The distribution of F-actin were also not altered.Conclusion :Lactobacillus reuteri JCM1081 exerts a protective effect against the filamentous cytoskeleton rearrangement and permeability lesions promoted by enteropathogenic Escherichia coli infection.

As a common disease in clinical, the treatment of lumbar disc herniation (LDH) focused on local intervertebral disc, such as surgery and other interventional therapy treatment, but postoperative complications and recurrence rate has been a difficult problem in the field of profession. With the development of spine biomechanics and anatomy, researches on lumbar herniation also increased. Researchers discovered that the incidence and prognosis of LDH were inseparable with local muscle and soft tissue. As the deep paraspinal muscles, multifidus muscle plays an important role to make lumbar stability. Its abnormal function could reduce the stable of lumbar spine, and the chronic lumbar disease could also lead to multifidus muscle atrophy.

Objective To investigate the role of serum in children with Kawasaki disease(KD)in acute stage and ?-globulin role in monocyte cell-produced leukotriene B4(LTB4).Meanwhile,to investigate the effects of the monocyte cell conditioned media(MCM)on the expression of leukotriene B4 receptor 2(BLT2)in endothelial.In order to understand whether LTB4-BLT2 pathway gets involved in vascular damage in KD and the mechanism of ?-globulin in the lessening vascular damage of KD.Methods The concentration of LTB4 in cell culture after the stimulation by serum of healthy children,serum of acute KD and serum of acute KD with ?-globulin were observed,respectively.The expression of BLT2 in the endothelial was determined by flow cytometry.Results 1.The serum of children with KD increased the concentration of LTB4 in MCM(P

To establish a convenient and rapid method for identification of Pseudostellariae Radix by molecular identification, the rDNA-ITS sequences of Pseudostella riaheterophylla and its adulterants had been aligned to find out specific fragment. The specific primers against the fragment were designed and the PCR amplification conditions were optimized. The fluorescence reaction of the PCR products colored by 100 x SYBR Green I was observed under UV. The concentration of reaction buffer included 5.5 μL DNA Taq polymerase premix, 10 pmol Tzs-2F and 10 pmol Tzs-2R, 20-80 ng template DNA, and plus double sterile distilled water to 25 μL. The PCR thermal profile was as follows: predenaturation at 95 degrees C for 1 min, followed by 30 cycles of denaturation at 95 degrees C for 5 seconds, primer annealing and extension at 56 degrees C for 15 seconds, then it was extension at 72 degrees C for 30 seconds. The fluorescence reaction of Pseudostellariae Radix showed green fluorescence, while adulterants had not. Extraction, amplification DNA and all steps of molecular identification could be completed successfully in 40 minutes. The approach could amplify DNA template of Pseudostellariae Radix specificity, and its product with 1 μL 100 x SYBR Green I could engender green fluorescence under UV. The method was simple and accurate, so it could be used for identification of Chinese traditional medicine.

Objective To study the protective action of Semen Ziziphi Spiosaeand on acute myocardial ischemia and its effecte on infarcted area. Methods Left anterior descending(LAD) of coronary artery was ligated to cause the big rat's acute myocardial ischemia, and electrocardiogram (ECG) was used to appraise the effect of sour jujube kernel total soap on the myocardial infarcted area. Results Compared with control group, the experimental group treated with sour jujube kernel total soap glucosidal showed significantly smaller infarcted area; and ECG showed the heart rhythm, S-T piece and T wave value were significantly decreased in the experimental group. Conclusion Sour jujube kernel total soap glucosidal can reduce the myocardial infarcted area caused by ligature of LAD, so as to protect the cardiac muscle.

OBJECTIVE:To compare whether the numbers and species of strains of5probiotic products for medical pur-poses sold in the market are in line with those stated on the labels.METHODS:Viable count of probiotic products was per-formed by selective plating count method and species of the isolated strains were analyzed and identified using16S rDNA se-quencing.RESULTS:Regarding viable count,only one of the total25batches of samples in5products was lower than that stated on the label.As for species,of the10isolated strains,3failed to be in consistent with that stated on the label.CONCLU_ SIONS:For the5products investigated,inconformity was noted between strain species and that stated on the labels,however,the same viable counts are noted between the products and that stated on the labels.

OBJECTIVE To investigate vascular endothelial growth factor-C (VEGF-C) and cyclooxyegense-2(COX-2) expression in nasopharyngeal carcinoma. METHODS The expression of COX-2 and VEGF-C were stained respectively in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissues of 45 patients using immunohistochemical method,and were analyzed with clinical data. RESULTS The positive expression rates of COX-2 and VEGF-C were 68.9 % and 53.3 % respectively in nasopharyngeal carcinoma tissue. The expression of COX-2 was positively correlated with VEGF-C (r=0.334,P

Objective To evaluate the effect of Alprostsdil combined with Magnesium Isoglycyrrhizinate on hepatocirrhosis at active phase. Method 74 inpatients collected from our hospital were randomly divided into control group(37 cases)and treatment group(37 cases). The patients in control group were given conventional liver protecting treatment. In addition to routine therapy of the control group, the patients in treatment group received intravenous Alprostadil and Magnesium Isoglycyrrhizinate injection once a day for 4 weeks. Results The total effective rate of treatment group was 67. 6%, and that of control group was 40. 5%, and the difference was significant (P ＜ 0. 05).Conclusion Alprostadil combined with Magnesium Isoglycyrrhizinate has good clinical therapeutic effect on hepatocirrhosis at active phase.
