Objective To evaluate the effect of enteral nutrision (EN) containing dietary fiber complex (DFC) on intestinal mucosal barrier in rats with experimental colitis. Methods Ninety six SD rats were induced into ulcerative colitis by acetic acid enema.than were divided into 3 groups. The rats in group C received non-DFC nutrison, while the rats in group Tl or group T2 received soluble dietary fiber (SDF) and insoluble dietary fiber (IDF) of the EN with different proportion (1:2 or 1:3, respectively). At the first-, third-,fifth- and seventh-day after the EN, the concentration of D-lactate and diamine oxidase (DAO) activity in plasma were detected and intestinal samples were obtained to observe the changes of intestinal mucosa. Results At the third-,fifth- and seventh-day,the D-lactate concentration and the DAO activity in plasma significantly reduced in group Tl and T2 when compared with group C (P<0. 05) , but there was no statistical difference between group Tl and group T2. The scores of histological damages of colon in the group Tl and group T2 decreased in comparison with group C at all time points (P < 0. 05). However, the scores of histological damages of colon significantly decreased in group T2 when compared with group Tl at day 5 and day 7 (P <0. 05). Conclusion EN containing DFC may reduce the intestinal permeability of colitis in rats, which has a protective effect on intestinal mucosal barrier. While different proportions of the SDF or IDF ratio result in different effects on the mucosal protection. This protective effect will be enhanced by increasing the ratio of IDF in a certain scale.

Objective To establish a model of immune-mediated inner ear disease(IMIED) and to compare the efficacy of dexamethasone between systemic application and round window adminstration. Methods The guinea pigs were injected with keyhole limpet hemocyanin(KLH) mixed with complete Freund's adjuvant subcutaneouly in the back,and were boosted with KLH mixed with incomplete Freund's adjuvant two weeks later.Meanwhile,a small piece of gelatin sponge full of KLH was delivered on the round window through operation.Thus established a model of IMIED.Micro-osmotic pumps were used to deliver dexamethasone through the round window(PBS control group also set),and systemic application was implemented by intraperitoneal injection.The efficacy was compared by recording auditory brain-stem response(ABR) before and after the treatment. Results None of the 6 guinea pigs in the control group experienced significant hearing loss,while 22 of the 39 guinea pigs in the experiment group suffered from hearing loss beyond 10 dB.Seventeen guinea pigs with hearing loss no less than 15 dB were divided into three groups randomly and were given different treatment.Those(n=6) treated by local application through the round window enjoyed the efficacy and the mean ABR threshold decreased 13.3 dB.Four out of the 6 treated by systemic application enjoyed the efficacy and the mean ABR threshold decreased 13.7 dB.No efficacy was observed in the PBS group. Conclusion The model of IMIED can be successfully induce by KLH through the round window,and dexamethasone administered through the round window is as efficacious as systemic application.

The chemiluminescence (CL) reaction was observed from the synthesized N-tetrahydrobenzothiazolyl imines mixed with acidified potassium permanganate and the emission intensity was significantly enhanced, when the formic acid was added. The fluorescence spectra, CL spectra, UV-VIS absorption spectra and kinetic property of the reaction were investigated. Based on the CL reaction, a flow injection method for the determination of Ntetrahydrobenzothiazolyl imine was developed. The relative standard deviation for eleven replicate injections of 1.0× 10-6 mol/L schiff bases of N-tetrahydrobenzothiazolyl imine was 1.7%, and the detection limit (3σ) was 5.0 ×10-8 mol/L. Mn2+ ,Fe3+ ,Cu2+ ,Ni2+ ,Cr3+ ,Mg2+ ,Zn2+ ,Tl+ ,Bi2+ and Al3+ ions had no effect whilst Ag+ and Fe2+ ions interfered with the determination.

Objective To construct a design of northwest region army pilot health management based on modularization, which will provide basis for the management of army pilot health management. Methods Using Delphi method, three rounds of questionnaires were done within 30 experts, to build the design of northwest region army pilot health management based on modularization, which contained information module, management module, implementation module, update module and system flow module. Results The experts′ authority coefficient was 0.850, coefficient of determination was 0.865, and familiar coefficient was 0.870. The design of northwest region army pilot health management was determined to contain 5 first-level indicators, 19 secondary indexes. The coordination coefficients of the three level indicators were 0.624 and 0.543,respectively, and the contrast of coordination coefficients had statistical significance (P < 0.01). Conclusions The design of northwest region army pilot health management based on modularization constructed by Delphi method is proved to be scientific, reliable and practical, which can provide the basis for the health management of northwest region army pilot.

Objective To understand the features of lymphatic vessel,and to summarize the foundation and mechanism of the promotion and inhibition of tumor lymphangiogenesis recorded on the current studies of animal ex- periments and clinical researches.Methods The related literatures of the structural features of lymphatic vessel, lymphatic endothelial molecular markers,the origin of lymphatic tumors,the molecular mechanisms and regulatory factors were reviewed,and the relationship between tumor lymphangiogenesis and lymphatic metastasis,the treat- ment targeting at the formation of the anti-tumor lymphatic vessel and its existing problems were also analyzed.Re- suits Hyperplasia of lymphatic vessels occurred during the process of tumor formation and progression.The struc- tural features of the lymphatic vessels in the tumor were conducive to tumor lymphatic metastasis.In recent years, methods of anti-lymphangiogenesis and inhibition of tumor lymphatic metastasis had achieved considerable success in animal experiments.However,there were still a lot of problems need to be solved.Conclusion Tumor lymphangio- genesis has a significantly positive correlation between tumor lymphatic metastasis and patients'prognosis,which may indicate that treatment against the formation of tumor lymphatic vessel maybe effective.

Chlorella pyrenoidosa No.2 was screened from five species of microalga Chlorella sp. for its higher lipid yield. Effects of medium components and culture conditions on cell growth as well as lipid ac-cumulation of C. pyrenoidosa No.2 were investigated and the results showed that the optimum medium rec-ipe was 20.0 g/L glucose,0.08 g/L glycine,1.0 g/L K2HPO4?3H2O,0.4 g/L MgSO4?7H2O and 0.004 g/L FeSO4?7H2O. The optimum culture temperature,initial pH,shaking rate and light intensity were 28℃,6.0,130 r/min and 650 Lux,respectively. Biomass and lipid content increased from 3.73 g/L and 40.15% to 6.56 g/L and 59.90% when Chlorella pyrenoidosa No.2 was cultivated under the above optimal conditions for 7 days,with lipid yield raised by 162%. Chlorella pyrenoidosa No.2 could produce lipid with xylose as carbon source,and so is potential for lipid production from renewable materials such as lignocellulose. GC analysis demonstrated that the fatty acid composition of the lipid was similar to that of vegetable oil and its unsaturated fatty acid content reached around 71%,thus it is a promising material for biodiesel production.

Objective lo evaluate the effects ot different types oi nitric oxide synthase inhibitors on cerebral mitochondrial structure and function in fetal rats with intrauterine distress. Methods Rats were divided into control group, acute ischemia group, treatment group 1 injection of [ N omega-nitro-L-arginine (L-NNA) 4 mg/kg into pregnant rats' abdomen before ischemia], reperfusion group, treatment group 2 [injection of L-NNA 4 mg/kg into pregnant rats' abdomen before ischemia followed by injection of aminoguanidine (AG) 500 mg/kg before operation]. Changes of mitochondrial structure were observed by transmission electron microscopy and expression of neuronal nitric oxide synthase (nNOS) mRNA (A) through RT-PCR. Inducible nitric oxide synthase ( iNOS) activity and mitochondrial Na+ K + -ATPase and cytochrome oxidase activity were measured. Results (1) The A of NOS(5 min,15 min) in acute ischemia group was higher than that of treatment group 1 ( P 0. 05). But the A of nNOS in two groups was higher than that in control group ( P 0. 05 ). Mitochondrial Rsv in reperfusion group was all smaller than those in treatment group 2. And mitochondrial Rsv in all the groups was smaller than that in control group( P
