Post-cardiac arrest syndrome (PCAS) is one of the most common medical emergencies in children.The fatality rate and disability rate are extremely high.Pathogenesis of PCAS remains incompletely clear,and clinical manifestation is complicated.The treatment is mainly limited to supportive care.In recent years,the phases of PCAS are defined according to the pathophysiological changes and clinical prognosis.Investigators also made some advances in the fields of pathophysiological changes and clinical treatment of brain damage and myocardial damage.For the treatment of PCAS,early therapeutic hypothermia,glucose control and seizure control,and reasonable cardiopulmonary support are promoted.In this article,we reviewed the advances in the above fields and the latest advance on the management of PCAS in foreign countries.

OBJECTIVE:To probe into the condition of the occurrence of the adverse drug reactions(ADRs) induced by Chinese materia medica.METHODS:A total of 933 ADR cases induced by Chinese materia medica published in 100 different kinds of journals during 2000～2008 were studied retrospectively.RESULTS:A total of 156 kinds of Chinese materia medica were involved in these ADRs,which were administered by 5 routes,with intravenous administration showing the highest incidence at 78.46%. Among all the ADRs,the systemic reactions represented 57.77%.CONCLUSION:It is necessary to popularize the knowledge on safe medication of Chinese materia medica,standardize clinical rational use of Chinese materia medica and its preparations and tighten control and monitoring on the ADRs induced by Chinese materia medica.

Some types of bacteria swim through rotating their flagella. The swimming mechanism of bacteria during flagella bundling and tumble process is analyzed. The effects of body rotation and flagellum′s polymorphic transitions on bundling processes and the wall effect phenomenon are also discussed. Finally, based on dynamics similarity, a new microrobot module is put forward to further studying the flagella swimming phenomena. The research would be very helpful for constructing the bionic swimming robots under the low Reynolds number.

Objective To detect the expression of Bmi-1 and p16 gene in transitional cell carcinoma of bladder(TCC) tissue and explore its clinical significance.Methods The expression of Bmi-1 and p16 gene were detected by real-time quantitative polymerase chain reaction in 61 cases of TCC tissue and 12 cases of normal bladder tissue.Results The expression of Bmi-1 gene in TCC tissue was significantly higher than that in normal bladder tissue (0.242 ± 0.129 vs.0.031 ± 0.011),and the expression of p16 gene was significantly lower than that in normal bladder tissue (0.059 ± 0.021 vs.0.165 ± 0.029),there was significant difference (P ＜ 0.05).The expression of Bmi-1 and p16 gene were highly correlated with pathological grades,clinical stages and tumor recurrence (P ＜ 0.05 or ＜ 0.01).But there were not correlated with age and gender (P ＞ 0.05).There was a negative correlation between the expression of Bmi-1 gene and p16 gene in TCC tissue(rs =-0.714,P＜ 0.05).Conclusions Bmi-1 gene high expression and p16 gene low expression may be involved in the occurrence and development process of TCC.Bmi-1 may decrease the expression of p 16 gene in some ways,and then lead to the occurrence and development of TCC.

Notopterygium incisum is the important medicinal materials of the Tibetan-Qiang medical system in China, also one of the rare and endangered medicinal materials in the Plateau areas in the meantime. Taking the planting of in Sichuan province as an example, research on the N. incisum in Sichuan utilize remote sensing and GIS techniques, bind growth environment factor, including height factor, average annual precipitation, average annual temperature, forest information, were chosen according to habitat conditions. And combine field measurement to verify. The results indicate that N. incisum resources in Sichuan province were mainly distributed in the alpine valley and the northwest of the plateau, which suitability distribution areas of 4145 km2 approximately and accounting for 2% of the total area. Suitability areas accounting for more than 2% of the respective total area in Heishui county, Lixian county, Xiaojin county, Kangding county, ect. According to the field investigation and the related document information record, drawn that the suitability distribution based on RS and GIS were corresponded with the actual distribution areas of N. incisum resources. It's feasible to divide the suitability distribution area of N. incisum using RS and GIS, which will provide a scientific basis for a comprehensive investigation of the distribution as well as its rational exploitation and protection.

OBJECTIVETo study the anti-tumor active constituents from the rhizome of Paris polyphylla var. yunnanensis.

METHODThe compounds were isolated by column chromatography with silica gel, and purified by Sephadex LH-20 columu chromafography and reverse-phase preparative, HPLC. The structures were identified by spectroscopic methods. The anti-tumor experiment in vitro, the MTT, was used to screen constituents of P. polyphalla var. yunnanensis.

RESULTSix compounds were obtained and their structures were identified as diosgenin-3-O-alpha-L-arabinofuranosyl (1-->4) -beta-D-glycopyranoside (1), pennogenin-3-O-alpha-L-arabino-furanosyl (1-->4)-beta-D-glycopyranoside (2), isorhamn etin-3-O-beta-D-glycopyranoside (3), ethyl-alpha-D-fructofuranoside (4), pennogenin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->4)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->2)]-beta-D-glycopyranoside (5) and pennogenin-3-O-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->4)-alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->4)-[alpha-L-rhamnopyranosyl (1-->2)]-beta-D-glycopyranoside (6).

CONCLUSIONCompounds 1-4 were isolated from this plant for the first time, compounds 3 and 4 was firstly isolated from genus Paris, compound 5 was firstly isolated from the rhizome of this plant. The pharmacological results showed that compounds 1-3, 5 and 6 showed certain inhibition, especially, the activities of compound 5 and 6 were the most significant.
