qualitative and quantitative analysis of solid depolymerization products for supercritical methanolysis of ploy(ethylene terephthalate) polyester (PET) were studied by means of reversedphase high performance liquid chromatogr aphy on ZorbaxC8(4.6mm×250mm) with 70%(V/V) methanol as mobile phase. The results showed that the solid depolymerization products were mainly composed of dimethyl terephthalate (DMT), methyl(2hydroxyethyl)terephthalate (MHET), bis(hydroxyethyl)tere phthalate (BHET), dimers and oligomers, which could be separated effectively under the above chromatographic conditions. The calibration curves of DMT and BHET were linear in the range of 1.0～45 mg/L (n=8),r=0.9998～1.0000 and RSD＜2.8%. The determination limits of DMT and BHET were 4.0×10-4μg and 6.0×10-4μg respectively. 

Objective To investigate the effects of 5-azacytidine and estradiol on the methylation of CpG motifs and expression of DNA methyltransferasel (DNMT1) mRNA in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and normal controls.Methods Peripheral blood lymphocytes isolated from 12 patients with SLE and 11 normal human controls were stimulated with phytohaemagglutinin for one day followed by additional 3-day culture with or without the presence of 5-azacytidine of 1 μmol/L or estradiol of 30μg/L respectively.Then.the methylation of CpG motifs was detected by flow cytometry using anti-5-methylcytosine antibody,and DNMT1 mRNA expression by real time reverse transcription-PCR Results After treatment with 5-azacytidine,a decrease wag observed in the methylation of CpG motifs, but not in the expression of DNMT1 mRNA in peripheral lymphocytes from patients with SLE (1=18.60,P<0.01;t=1.56.P>0.05) and in those from the normal controls (t=5.63,P<0.01;t=2.17,P>0.05) compared with untreated lymphocytes.Nevertheless,there were no significant changes in the methylation of CpG motifs or expression of DNMT1 mRNA in lymphocytes from patients with SLE (t=1.53,0.93,respectively,both P>0.05) and normal controls (t=1.93,0.11,respectively,both P>0.05) after the treatment with estradiol.Conclusions The methylation of CpG motifs is suppressed efficiently by 5-azacytidine,and the suppression is unlikely to be associated with the decrease of DNMT1 mRNA.Estradiol has no significant impact on the methylation of CpG motifs and expression of DNMT1 mRNA in lymphocytes.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the clinical effect and safety of Xuebijing injection in the treatment of moderate and se-vere infection of stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ pressure ulcer. METHODS:A total of 130 cases of moderate and severe infection of stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ pres-sure ulcer admitted to our hospital from Jul. 2011 and Jun. 2016 were randomly divided into observation group and control group, with 65 cases in each group. Control group was treated with 0.5%Iodophor disinfectant to disinfect the sore surface,given wet ster-ile gauze soaked with 0.5% Iodophor disinfectant to compress sore surface for 30 min,and then given Aikangfu absorptive silver ion antibacterial healing dressing to fill wound,changed dressing after 2/3 was soaked. Observation group was additionally given Xuebijing injection 50 mL added into normal saline 100 mL intravenously for 30-40 min,2-3 times a day,for consecutive 7 days,on the basis of control group. Treatment course of both groups lasted for 4 weeks. The clinical efficacy,the score of pres-sure ulcer scale for healing(PUSH),debridement time,the time of local symptom and SIRS disappearance as well as the occur-rence of ADR were compared between 2 groups. RESULTS:The total response rate of observation group(93.85%)was signifi-cantly higher than that of control group (80.00%),and debridement time,the time of local symptom and SIRS disappearance were all significantly shorter than control group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). Before treatment,there was no statisti-cal significance in PUSH score between 2 groups (P>0.05). After 1-4 weeks of treatment,PUSH score of 2 groups was de-creased significantly compared to before treatment,and the score of observation group was significantly lower than that of con-trol group,with statistical significance(P<0.05). No obvious ADR was found in 2 groups. CONCLUSIONS:For moderate and severe infection of stage Ⅲ-Ⅳ pressure ulcer,Xuebijing injection effectively reduces inflammatory exudation,improves the ab-sorption of necrotic tissue,relieves local symptom and systematic inflammatory reaction,promotes the healing of pressure ulcers and has good clinical effect and safety.

Objective To investigate the decomposition method of surface EMG(sEMG)signals based on Blind Source Separation and to detect the the motor unit action potential(MUAP)information.Methods Utilizing the sEMG signals recorded at low muscle contraction force(10% MVC),the methods of second order non-stationary source separation(SEONS)and FastICA were explored to analyze the sEMG signals decomposition.Results The experiment results showed that the MUAP information could be acquired by spike detection and pattern recognition after the decomposition of recorded sEMG signals using the proposed algorithm and FastICA method,but a little difference occurred due to the complexity of sEMG signals.Conclusion The non-stationary characteristic of sEMG signals is considered by the SEONS algorithm,and the proposed method can be applied in the sEMG signals decomposition.

Objective To study the effect of a polysaccharide from cuscuta chinensis lam (PCCL) on antisenility and its mechanism. Methods Sixty Kunming mice were randomized into 6 groups. The three PCCL groups were administrated with PCCL of 100, 200, 400 mg?kg -1?d -1 orally, the positive control group with vitamin E of 200 mg?kg -1?d -1, the model group and control group with the same volume of control solution only. At the same time, the model group, the positive group and the three PCCL groups were subcutaneously injected of 5% D-gal at the dose of 0.5 ml at the nape, and the control with the same volume of saline solution. Seven weeks later, the MDA, SOD activity, GSH-PX activity in the liver and kidney of mice and lipofuscin (LF) in mouse brain were detected with the methods of TBA, Nitrate, DTNB and Sohal, respectively. The data were analyzed with SPSS software and the data between groups were analyzed with one-factor variance analysis. Results Thymus index and spleen index dropped, LF rose in brain, malondialdehyde (MDA) content rose and the activities of superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione peroxidase (GSH-PX) dropped in liver and kidney in senile mouse model. PCCL administration of 100, 200, 400 mg?kg -1?d -1 made thymus index and spleen index rising, LF dropping in brain, MDA content dropping,SOD and GSH-PX LF rising in liver and kidney of senile mouse model. Conclusion PCCL may postpone senility, which mechanism probably connected with rising immunity, eliminating oxygen free radicals and antilipoperoxidation.
