Quorum sensing is defined as the cell density-dependent regulation of gene expression, and the involved system is the quorum sensing system, in which N-acyl homoserine lactone is known as the signal molecules of most gram-negative organisms. It can regulate diverse physiological functions. This paper reviewed the quorum sensing systems and the recent advances which play a major role in the formation of the symbiosis between the rhizobia and their host plants.

Objective:To establish the medical equipment archives management system to adapt to the Finance Ministry new hospital financial system. Methods:According to the new financial system requirements, implement the new file management strategy, as adjusting the original classification, management object and process. Results: After the implementation of the new management strategy, medical equipment archives management and new financial system in our hospital realize synchronous in January 1, 2012, thethree Zhang cardsystem optimizing, and the results have been applied to the existing hospital medical equipment management software, greatly improving the efficiency of management, provides a strong basis for medical equipment economic benefit and social benefit evaluation. Conclusion:The medical equipment archives were giving full play to improve the quality of medical care.

50 mm/h were detected in all the patients. Decreasing C 3 in 6 patients and C 4 in 5 were found. Conclusions SLE is one of the general conditions causing retinal vein occlusion. Visual acuity and barrier of retinal vein and capillary are damaged seriously in patients with retinal vein occlusion caused by SLE, which may be accompanied with other ocular or general lesions. It is suggested that retinal vein occlusion is relative with SLE activity.

Objective To investigate the clinical characteristic of ocular fundus complications in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods In 25 cases of SLE with the ocular fundus complications, the ocular fundus, the other ocular tissues, general lesions,and antinuclear antibody (ANA), anti-double-stranded DNA(anti-dsDNA), complement 3 (C 3), complement 4 (C 4)and erythrocyte sedimentation rate(ESR) were analyzed retrospectively. Results In the 25 cases, "classic" SLE retinopathy in 15 (25 eyes), retinal vein occlusion (RVO) in 9 (12 eyes), RVO combined with retinal artery occlusion in 1 (2 eyes), exudative retinal detachment in 1 (2 eyes), vitreous hemorrhage combined with neovascular glaucoma in 1 (1 eye), and optic disc edema except RVO in 3 (6 eyes) were found. Nine cases accompanied with other ocular signs and 21 with general lesions. Positive ANA and anti-dsDNA and elevated ESR in all of the patients, decreasing C 3 in 19, and C 4 in 17 were found. Conclusions SLE can cause serious ocular fundus complications accompanied with other ocular signs. Regular ophthalmic examination should be performed on the patients with SLE to detect and treat the ocular complications promptly.

Objective To investigate the functional protective effect of lycium barbarum polysaccharide (LBP) against light-in-duced retinal degeneration. Design experimental studies. Participants sixty SD rats were divided randomly into 6 groups. Methods Sprague-Dawley rats were exposed for 24 hours to 2000-lux cool white fluorescent light after treatment with LBP. Scotopic flash elec-troretinogram (ERG) were recorded before and on day D1, D6 and D14 after light exposure. The b-wave amplitude was statistic. In addi-tion, rats from each group were killed for retinal morphometric analyses. Main outcome Measure The amplitudes of b-wave of scotopic flash ERG, the histopathological changes. Results In the untreated group, light exposure caused collapse of the b-wave sensitivity curves. Bmax was reduced by 29.97% at D1 without subsequent recovery. Histopathology of the temporal superior central retinas of rats showed outer segment disorganization and shortening, the inner segments swelled and vacuolated, the outer nuclear layer thicknesses decreased markedly with subsequent recovery. In the treated groups, light exposure had a weaker effect on sensitivity curves. The values of b-wave amplitude were significantly increased than those in the exposed-untreated group (P=0.005). Retinal morphometry was pre-served. Conclusion LBP afford functional protection against light-induced retinal damage. (Ophthalmol CHN, 2009, 18: 229-233)

strains of fast-growing rhizobia isolated from Chinas western (mainly from Qinghai province),and 4 representative strains were compared by performing numerical taxonomy. 132 phenotypic characteristics were analyzed. The results of numerical taxonomy constructed a dendrogram. It shows that all the strains examined clustered into five phena at a similarity level of 79%. 16S rDNA PCR-RFLP were applied to 57 rhizobial strains (among the 61 strains) and 10 reference strains. The 16S rDNA-RFLP analysis described 20 different genotypic characteristics and form one dendrogram. For some large groups, the results of 16S rDNA-RFLP were agreement with that of numerical analysis of phenotypic characteristics.

Objective To explore the expressions of histamine receptor subtypes (H1, H2, H3, H4 receptor) in children's mid-urethral striated muscles and during mouse C2C12 striated myogenesis.Methods Children's mid-urethral striated muscle samples were paraffin embedded and tissue sections were made, then immunohistochemical staining was used to check H1, H2, H3, H4 receptors.C2C12 myogenesis was induced, the early differentiation early markers of desmin, middle marker of myogenin, late marker of myosin heavy chain and histamine 4 receptor subtype mRNA were checked by quantitative real-time polymerase chain reaction.Immunofluorescence staining was done to check 3 differentiation markers and histamine H3 receptor protein.Results During myogenesis, the expression of desmin mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days were 12,68,60 times as many as that of the undifferentiated myoblasts;the expression of myogenin mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days were 631,1 408,914 times as many as that of the undifferentiated myoblasts;the expression of myosin heavy chain mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days were 7 718,9 448,286 288 times as many as that of the undifferentiated myoblasts.The expression level of H1 receptor mRNA in the differentiation of 6 days was about 25％ to undifferentiated cells;the expression of H2 receptor mRNA in undifferentiated cells and differentiated cells groups had no significant difference (F =1.47, P ＞ 0.05);the expression of H3 receptor mRNA in the differentiation of 2,4,6 days was 28,103,198 times to undifferentiated cells;H4 receptor mRNA was not detected.In immunofluorescence staining, H3 receptor protein staining intensity increased with the differentiation.Immunohistochemistry of pediatric urethral striated staining indicated that H1, H2, H3 receptor staining was positive,H1 receptor showed strong positive staining, H3 receptor moderate positive staining,and H2 receptor showed weak positive staining.Conclusions Histamine receptor subtypes of H1 receptor, H2 receptor and H3 receptor were found during mouse striated myogenesis and in the children's mid-urethral striated muscles.The increasing expression of H3R with myogenesis might indicate it plays a role in mature striated muscle cells.
