Bdellovibrio bacteria BDF-H16 was isolated from the gut of Carassius auratus gibelio with Aeromonas sobria.Its shape was ob- served by light microscopy,phase-contrast microscopy,electron microscopy and some of its biological characteristics were also studied.It was demonstrated that BDF-H16 was an gram-negative bacterium and had a bacilliform or arc bacilliform shape with a flagellum at one end.Its size was mostly 0.2?m～0.5?m?0.8?m～1.2?m.It had a wide prey area and could lyse all tested gram-negative bacteria and some gram-positive bacteria.The best lysis conditions to Escherichia coli were 6.75?10~9 cfu/mL of prey bacteria concentration,pH7.0～7.5,28℃.It could grow in the solid culture added 0.85%～5.00% NaCl and was inhibited by enrofloxacin and norfloxacin.

Objective To investigate the relationship between insulin resistance and endogenous androgens at early and late phase of postmenopause.Methods A total of 105 women with early postmenopause (≤5 years since menopause) and 107 women with late postmenopause (≥ 10 years since menopause) were enrolled in this study.In the mean time,those women were classified into normal weight [body mass index (BMI),BMI ＜24 kg/m2] group and overweight (BMI≥24 kg/m2) group.Sex hormonebinding globulin (SHBG),testosterone (T),dehydroepiandrosterone-sulfate (DHEA-S),fasting blood glucose(FBG),fasting insulin (FINS)levels were measured and then calculated free androgen index(FAI) and homeostatic model assessment of insulin resistance (HOMA-IR).The relationship between sex hormones and insulin resistance was analyzed by partial correlation and multiple linear regression analyses.Results Compared to early postmenopausal women,late postmenopausal women had higher FINS [(7.9 ± 6.6) mU/L versus (6.6 ±4.0) mU/L] and HOMA-IR(2.1 ± 1.9 versus 1.7 ± 1.1),but they had lower DHEA-S [(0.9 ± 0.5) mg/L versus (1.1 ± 0.5) mg/L,all P ＜ 0.05)].Both in early postmenopausal and late postmenopausal groups,overweight women had higher HOMA-IR (early group,2.2 ± 1.0 versus 1.2 ±0.9 ; late group,2.8 ± 2.6 versus 1.6±1.1)and FINS early group[(6.9±2.9) mU/L versus (4.6±2.0) mU/L] ;late group [(10.2 ± 9.3) mU/L versus (6.4 ± 3.6) mU/L] than those at women with normal weight group(all P ＜ 0.05).In early postmenopausal group,overweight women had lower SHBG [(52 ±37) nmol/L versus (71 ±37) nmol/L] and higher FAI(2.5 ±2.1) versus (1.3 ± 1.1) than those at normal weight women group(all P ＜ 0.05).In late postmenopausal group,overweight women had higher DHEA-S (1.0 ± 0.5) mg/L versus (0.8 ± 0.4) mg/L (P ＜ 0.05).The analyses suggested that in early postmenopausal group,SHBG was correlated negatively with FINS and HOMA-IR (β =-0.386,P ＜ 0.05 ;β =-0.553,P ＜0.05),DHEA-S was correlated positively with FBG (β =0.348,P ＜ 0.05) in early postmenopausal group.FAI was correlated positively with FBG in late postmenopausal group (β =0.505,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions The increased androgenic activities are associated with insulin resistance after of menopause.These correlations are different at different stages of postmenopause,which SHBG levels correlate with high risk of insulin resistance and DHEA-S levels correlates with high blood glucose levels at early postmenopause and FAI correlates with high blood glucose levels at late postmenopause.

Objective To investigate impacts of chronic hepatitis B virus (HBV) co-infection on immune responses and clinical manifestations in acute infection of dengue virus type 1.Methods The serum levels of interferon (IFN)a,IFNβ,IFNγ,interleukin (IL)-10 and tumor necrosis factor (TNF)α of 310 dengue serotype 1 (DENV1)-infected patients were assessed by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA),among which 8％ (25/310) were chronic HBV co-infection.Meanwhile,serum samples from 41 healthy adults and 47 chronic HBV infected subjects were recruited as controls.Comparisons among groups were done by one factor analysis of variance and correlation analysis of results was done by spearman rank correlation test.Results The serum level of IFN-α [(95.1 ± 279.3) pg/mL] was significantly higher than IFN-β[(2.8 ± 16.2) pg/mL] during acute dengue infection,while IFN-α level [(86.5±358.1) pg/mL] reduced in patients with HBV co-infection.The secretion kinetics of IFNα,IFNγ (pro-inflammatory cytokine) and IL-10 (anti-inflammatory cytokine)were analyzed.The medians of IFNα,IFNβ and IL-10 level were elevated to peak on day 2,day 3-4and day 6 after fever onset,respectively.Additionally,IFNα levels in patients with only dengue infection were negatively correlated with the platelet counts and serum alanine aminotransferase levels (r=-0.2327,0.2122,both P＜0.01).Conclusions Chronic HBV co-infection alters human immune responses elicited by acute dengue viral infection.Moreover,IFNα secretion may be associated with hemorrhagic tendency,while protective against inflammatory damage of liver.

Objective To forward the concept of solution space of pharmacokinetics for studying radiophannaceutical distributions in animal models. Methods On the basis of special solutions of differential equations of pharmacokinetics, the solution space was established using the characteristics of linearly independent particular solutions and used to express the pharmacokinetics of pharmaceuticals in vivo. 0. 2 ml (7.4 MBq) 2β-carbomethoxy-3β- (4-corophenyl)-8-(2-18F-fluoroethyl) nortropane (18F-FECNT) was injected through tail vein into normal mice. The mice were sacrificed by decapitation at 5, 15, 30, 60, 120 and 180 min post-injection. Brain tissues were removed and weighed, and radioactivity was counted with the γ-counter. The solution space theory was used to study pharmacokinetics of 18F-FECNT in brain tissues of mice. Results The result showed that all solutions of pharmacokinetics models, based on differential equations, were included in the solution space. The solution of any organ or tissue could be linearly expressed by bases of the solution space. When the dimension number of the solution space was no more than 3, the solution could be directly expressed with coordinate picture. By this rule in our theory, the quantity of 18F-FECNT in brain tissues of mice changed with time, which was accorded with the experiment. The coordinates of striatum, frontal cortex, temporal cortex, occipital cortex, parietal cortex, hippocampus and cerebellum in the solution space were ( 10.13, 1.49), (4.27, 0. 84), (4.48, 0.81 ), (2.89, 0.98), (3.65, 0. 83),(3.55, 0. 98) and (2.03, 1.25 ), respectively. Conclusion The theory of solution space could be used to study pharmacokinetics of 18 F-FECNT in mice brain.

In the experiment, the production of plagues by Bdellovibrio bacteria in solid medium cultivation, the reproduction of Bdellovibrio bacteria in liquid medium cultivation and the attachment of Bdellovibrio bacteria to carrier were observed, which aimed to study the effects of enrofloxacin on the growth and at-tachment ability of Bdellovibrio bacteria BDF-H16. Results indicated that in solid medium cultivation, the production of plagues by Bdellovibrio bacteria BDF-H16 was inhibited by different concentrations (2 ?g/mL, 5 ?g/mL, 10 ?g/mL, 20 ?g/mL, 50 ?g/mL) of enrofloxacin and the inhibitory effects of enrofloxacin became stronger with the increase of the concentration of enrofloxacin. Similarly, in liquid medium cultivation, the reproduction of Bdellovibrio bacteria BDF-H16 was also obviously inhibited by different concentrations ofenrofloxacin and higher concentrations of enrofloxacin such as 10 ?g/mL, 20 ?g/mL, 50 ?g/mL had stronger inhibitory effects on the reproduction of BDF-H16. However, the growth tendency of Bdellovibrio bacteria BDF-H16 was not inhibited in 10 ?g/mL enrofloxacin. Additionally, when zeolite was added, enrofloxacin had also inhibitory effects on the numbers of Bdellovibrio bacteria BDF-H16 attached to zeolite. With the increase of the concentrations of enrofloxacin, the numbers of Bdellovibrio bacteria BDF-H16 attached to zeolite became smaller and smaller. However, the attachment rate of Bdellovibrio bacteria BDF-H16 to zeo-lite became higher under 2 ?g/mL-20 ?g/mL enrofloxacin. The results above showed that enrofloxacin had inhibitory effects on the plague production and reproduction of Bdellovibrio bacteria BDF-H16, but the at-tachment ability of Bdellovibrio bacteria BDF-H16 was strengthened in liquid medium cultivation with 2 ?g/mL-20 ?g/mL enrofloxacin and zeolite, and adding zeolite helped to reduce the adverse effects of en-rofloxacin on Bdellovibrio bacteria BDF-H16.
