Objective:To improve the forming process of Jingning particle according to the influencing factors in its effectiveness, such as low yield, high moisture absorption and difficult dissolubility during oral administration. Methods:A new technology that im-mediate granulation after the extract was well mixed with lactose and dextrin and dried. The appearance, dissolubility, hygroscopicity and pellet formation rate ( granularity) were compared between the new technology and the old one, and the difference in critical rela-tive humidity was also studied. Results:The appearance, dissolubility and pellet formation rate of the new technology were all better than those of the old one, and the moisture absorption rate was reduced with the critical relative humidity up to 70%(25℃), which enhanced the granule stability. Conclusion:The pellet formation rate is improved by the new technology, which effectively solves the problems such as high moisture absorption and poor dissolubility, and the granule quality is improved.

Objective To investigate the applicative value of micro-surgery in the treatment of cerebral aneurysms.Methods During January 2011 to January 2013 in our hospital,90 patients with cerebral aneurysm were randomly divided into the endovascular group and the microsurgical clipping group (n =45 each).The endovascular group were treated with endovascular interventional treatment,and the patients of the microsurgical clipping group were treated with microsurgical clipping treatment.The aneurysm occlusion rate and recurrence,time of hospital stay,complications and prognosis were compared between the two groups.Results The complete occlusion rate was higher [97.8% (44/45) vs.88.9% (40/45) and the recurrence rate was lower 2.2% (1/45) vs.13.3%(6/45) in microsurgical clipping group than in endovascular intervention group x2 =4.34 and 3.54,P=0.031 and 0.042),all P<0.o5.The average time of hospital stay was longer in the endovascular intervention group than in the microsurgical clipping group [(19.3 4.4) days vs.(16.34.9) days,t 1.93,P=0.035].The good rate was higher in microsurgical clipping group than in endovascular intervention group [91.1% (41/45) vs.77.8% (35/45),x2=6.325,P=0.012].Conclusions Microsurgical clipping surgery can significantly raise the complete occlusion of cerebral aneurysms,reduce recurrence in patients with cerebral aneurysm,decrease the hospitalization time,and improve prognosis,which is worthy of clinical application.

Epidermal stem cells (ESCs) play a critical role in homeostasis and wound repair of skin tissue. Since ESCs are rare (fewer than 10% in total basal cells population) and lack specific markers,it is difficult to isolate and identify them from keratinocytes. Currently ,isolation of ESCs was achieved mainly by fast adhesion of ESCs to extracelluar matrix or flow cytometry. Several specific markers have been found in recent years for the identification of ESCs.

Cucumber mosaic virus was detected from infected Basella rubra L. with the indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. Total RNA was extracted from infected leaves and the cDNAs of coat protein gene of CMV-Ba were obtained by RT-PCR. The amplified cDNA fragments were then cloned into pMD 18-T vector and sequenced,the result showed that the CP gene was 657 nucleotides in length. This sequence was aligned with the obtained CP gene and some CMV strains or isolates of subgroup Ⅰ and subgroup Ⅱ in GenBank using DNA MAN software. The results showed that CMV-Ba shared 90.9%~93.8% and 76.1%~76.9% identity with the known CP genes of subgroup Ⅰ and Ⅱ respectively in nucleotide level,on the other hand,amino acids deduced from CMV-Ba CP gene shared 92.7%~97.7% and 72.4%~78.1% identity with the known CP protein of subgroup Ⅰ and Ⅱ,respectively. This suggested that CMV-Ba CP gene belongs to CMV subgroupⅠ.

AIM: To investigate effect of Wujibaifeng Pills (WJBFP) on osteoporosis of ovariectonmized (OVX) rat. METHODS: Ovariectonmized (OVX) rat model was established to evaluate osteoporosis of which parameters investigated included bone gla protein (BGP), alkaline phosphatase (ALP), bone minera density (BMD), Serum phosphorus and serum total calcium. RESULTS: WJBFP(1.0g/kg,2.0g/kg,4.0g/kg) could enhance the contents of serum estradiol and calcitonin, decrease serum BGP level in OVX rats; It had no effect on serum total calcium and ALP activities but increase level of serum phosphorus; It could enhance BMD, prevent OVX rat from decreasing bone loss without raising body weight; furthermore, it could inhibit both the uterus and adrenal gland atrophy. CONCLUSION: WJBFP might have better prevention on osteoporosis of ovariectionmized rats.

Objective To evaluate the correlation between periodontitis and life style. Methods By using randomized cluster sampling method,2990 health check-up receivers were enrolled in this cross sectional survey from September 2007 to September 2008. The participants were requested to fill in a questionnaire to assess community periodontal index and synthesis grades. Multiple linear regression was used for data analysis. Results Gender (P = 0. 000) , age (P = 0. 000 ) , educational level ( P = 0. 001) , smoking (P = 0.011 ) and duration of teeth brush ( P = 0.026 ) were positively correlated with periodontitis. However, periodontitis showed no relationship with alcohol consumption, food intake, daily activity,frequency of teeth brush, periodontal bleeding. Conclusion Periodontitis is a condition with multiple risk factors. Improving life style may help to prevent general population from periodontitis.

Objective To investigate the clinical value of procalcitonin (PCT) levels in bacteria identification in intensive care unit (ICU) patients with bloodstream infection.Methods There were 540 cases of patients with bloodstream infection in our ICU between December 2007 and December 2013.The PCT levels and bacteria were identified.The application effectiveness of PCT levels in the bacteria identification was studied.Results The G+ bacteria infection rate was 49.63% (268/540),G-bacteria infection rate was 38.52% (208/540),and the fungal infection rate was 11.85% (64/540).The patients of G-bacteria had significant difference with G + bacteria and fungal infection (P < 0.05).The PCT average and positive rate of G-bacteria were significantly higher than G + bacteria and fungi group (P < 0.05),respectively.G+ bacteria and fungi infection did not have significant difference (P > 0.05).When PCT > 2.04 ng/ml,the sensitivity and specificity that applying serum PCT level to identify the between G-and G+ bacteria were 82.18% and 76.09%,respectively.When PCT >3.16 ng/ml,the sensitivity and specificity that applying serum PCT level to identify the between G-and fungus bacteria were 59.42% and 65.73%,respectively.Conclusions The identification between G-bacteria and G + bacteria,fungi with applying PCT level in bloodstream infections had high accuracy.When the PCT levels was greater than 2.04 ng/ml,the occurrence of G-bacteria was greater risk of infection.The accuracy of PCT level identifying the G + bacteria and fungi was poor.

International Eye Science 2018;18(9):1696-1698
AIM: To study the clinical efficacy of Conbercept intravitreal injection(0.5mg/0.05mL)in the treatment of exudative age-related macular degeneration(ARMD).
METHODS: Forty-five patients(45 eyes)with exudative age-related macular degeneration diagnosed in our hospital from July 2015 to January 2016 were retrospectively studied. A monthly intravitreal injection of conbercep was carried out. After 3-month injection, conbercep was given if necessary(3+PRN), and all patients were followed up for 2a. Before and after treatment, the intraocular pressure, the best corrected visual acuity(BCVA), central macular thickness(CMT)changes were observed.
RESULTS: The BCVA at 1, 2, 3mo, 1 and 2a after treatment was better than that before treatment(t=5.208, 5.111, 4. 323, 4.701, 5.156; P<0.05). CMT was significantly lower than before treatment(t=3.807, 4.556, 2.841, 2.707, 3.145; P<0.05).
CONCLUSION: Conbercept injection, as 3+PRN, can effectively improve visual acuity, reduce macular edema.
