Objective To screen and identify photosynthetic bacteria that could be used to treat bean wastewater. Methods Photosynthetic bacteria (PSB) were screened by enrichment culture from the sludge. The morphological and biochemical characteristics of the bacteria were determined using transmission electron microscope, live cells'scanning and testing of utilization of different carbon sources. In addition, the sequence of 16S rRNA of the PSB was analysed and the homology was compared with the standard strain according to the sequence in the GenBank. Results A strain NS-04 was screened from the sludge of the pond in Nanjing. The bacteria was Gram-negative in shape of ovoid or rod, with size of 0.6-0.9 ?m wide and 1.2-2.0 ?m long. The multiplication manner of the bacteria was binary fission. The photosynthetic membrane was lamellar type, which was under and parallel to intro-cytoplasmic membrane. The clone was brown with major pigments riched in carotenoids and bacteriochlorophylla. The bacteria could grow both under anaerobic condition in the light and aerobic condition in the dark. The bacteria could utilize many kinds of carbon sources and the growth of the cells could be prompted by yeast extract. The analysis of phylogenetic tree of 16S rRNA sequence indicated that the similarity of strain NS-04 and the standard strain of Rhodopseudomonas palustris in GenBank was 97%. Conclusion According to Bergey's Manual of Systematic Bacteriology, strain NS-04 was identified to be Rhodopseudomonas palustris.

Objective:To study the insulin resistance and leptin resistance in women with polycystic ovary syndrome(PCOS).Methods:Body mass index(BMI),serum leptin,fasting blood glucose(FBG),fasting insulin(FINS),serum triglyceride,total cholesterol,high-density lipoprotein,low-density lipoprotein and insulin resistance index(HOMA-IR) were assessed in 30 normal women,30 simple obesity women and 41 PCOS women.Results:①The PCOS patients showed higher levels of BMI,serum leptin,FINS,HOMA-IR and low-density lipoprotein,and lower levels of high-density lipoprotein than that in normal control.Compared to simple obesity women,there only showed higher FINS level and lower BMI in PCOS women.②Serum leptin levels in PCOS patients were concerned with BMI、FINS、HOMA-IR and serum triglyceride levels.③There were no significant difference of the FINS and HOMA-IR between normal women and non obese PCOS women,but the obese PCOS women showed higher levels of FINS and HOMA-IR than that in simple obesity women;the serum leptin levels showed no significant difference between normal women and non-obese PCOS women,simple obesity women and obese PCOS women. Conclusion:PCOS patients may have insulin resistance and leptin resistance;There may have regulative effect between leptin resistance and insulin resistance in PCOS patients;There are direct relationship between insulin resistance and PCOS;The rise of serum leptin level in PCOS women may be the assident manifestation of obesity.

Methods 150 cases of elderly patients with cardiovascular diseases who underwent interventional surgical treatment were selected.They were randomly divided into the observation group(80 cases)and the control group(70 patients). ResultsThe occurrence and degree of discomfort of bedridden patients in the observation group were milder,and the complications due to use of anticoagulants and pressing dressing were significantly less than the control group.The satisfaction degree and mastering of disease related knowledge in the observation group were significantly better than that of the control group. ConclusionsApplication of evidence-based nursing intervention during perioperative period for elderly patients with cardiovascular interventional surgery can reduce discomfort and complications of patients,as well as improve satisfaction degree and mastering of disease-related knowledge of patients and their families,which is worthy of promotion.

Objective To discuss the diagnosis and treatment of the solid pseudopapillary tumor of the pancreas(SPTP). Methods Six consecutive cases operated in our hospital from Aug. 2008 to Apr. 2010were reviewed. Results Those cases aged ranging from 17 to 31 years, with an average age of 21.8 years.The maximal dimension of tumor ranged from 6.6 to 13.0 cm, averaging 8.2 cm. Those tumors originated from pancreatic head (2), and body or tail (4). Abdominal B-ultrasound or CT scan examination disclosed that pancreas had solid-cystic mass in 4 cases, and the other two had solidmass. All tumors were resected completely and defined pathologically. We performed 5 open operations, including pancreaticoduodenectomy (2 cases), spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy (2 cases) and distal pancreatectomy plus splenectomy (1 case). One case underwent laparoscopic distal pancreatectomy plus splenectomy. Conclusions The young females are more likely suffered from the SPTP than others, which usually has a clear boundary and large volume. The abdominal B-ultrasound and CT scan are important diagnostic methods. The surgical modality of pancreatectomy is dependent on the tumor's location and extent, furthermore the resectability of SPTP is high. It is possible to perform a spleen-preserving distal pancreatectomy for tumors located in pancreatic body or tail.

Objective To explore the effect and factors of patellofemoral arthroplasty (PFA) for isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis.Methods Data of 18 patients (3 males,15 females) with isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis underwent PFA from March 2006 to December 2014 were retrospectively analyzed.There were 3 males and 15 females with a mean age of 54 years (range,46-74 years).It was strict to grasp the surgical indications according to the clinical symptoms,signs and imaging data preoperatively.11 patients were operated with AVON patellofemoral prosthesis (Stryker Inc.) and the other 7 patients were operated with the Gender Solutions patellofemoral prosthesis (Zimmer Inc.).Active and passive functional rehabilitation exercise was encouraged at the early stage after operation.Visual analogue scale (VAS) was 5.33±0.99 (range,4-7) and hospital for special surgery knee score (HSS) was 53.28±5.71 (range,44-63) before operation.Results The mean duration of follow-up was 63.98 months (range,6-104 months).VAS after operation for 1 and 3 months were 1.17±0.79 (range,0-3) and 0.72±0.67 (range,0-2),and the pain was almost relieved after 9 months.HSS after operation for 1,3,9 months were 70.06±6.33 (range,61-80),86.06±5.12 (range,77-95) and 91.39±4.83 (range,82-97).HSS score of the latest follow-up was 92.06±4.05 (range,84-97),which was improved obviously from the preoperative ones.The excellent and good rate was 100％ (excellent 15 cases,good 3 cases).The satisfactory rate was 94.4％ (17/18).Only one case got slightly knee pain when walking up and down the stairs after 2 years,and the pain was relieved after being administered with NSAIDs and rest.No incision infection,rupture,prosthesis supported bone fracture,prosthesis loosening and other complication was occurred during the follow-up period in the other patients.Conclusion The clinical outcomes of PFA are strictly related to surgical indications,implant design and appropriate surgical technique.Therefore,based on the appropriate PFA implants,strict surgical indications,appropriate patients,excellent operation skills and actively functional rehabilitation exercise,PFA could treat the isolated patellofemoral osteoarthritis effectively.

Objective To observe the enhanced inhibitory effect of adenovirus (Ad)-mediated HCCS1 combined with 5-FU on the growth of LoVo cells, and to explore the molecular mechanisms.Methods RT-PCR and Western blot were used to detect the expression of HCCS1 in LoVo cells infected with Ad HCCS1. CCK-8 assay was applied to observe different inhibitory effects of different treatments on growth of LoVo cells. The apoptotic rates were detected by using flow cytometry. The apoptotic proteins were detected by using Western blot. Results ① The recombinant adenovirus, Ad HCCS1, could trigger the expression of HCCS1 in LoVo cell. ② In comparison with controls (92.23%±3.77%), the cell viability rate of LoVo was only (11.23±4.61 )% on 96 h after the combination treatment of 5-FU and Ad-HCCS1 (P<0. 01). ③ The apoptotic rate was (27.57±1.78)% on 72 h after the combination treatment, which was higher than that in 5-FU treated cells (8.64±0.94)%, Ad-HCCS1 treated cells (13.19±1.32)% and 5-FU Ad treated cells (12.16±1.28)%, (P<0. 01). ④ Cathepsin D was only detected in Ad HCCS1-infected cells. When treated with 5-FU, the procaspase-8 was decreased and the cleaved Bid was increased in cytosol. The lowest level of Bax and the highest level of cytoso C and cleaved caspase-3 were detected in cytosols of 5-FU+Ad HCCS1 treated cells. Conclusion The inhibitory and proapoptotic effects are significantly enhanced in LoVo cells when treated with Ad-HCCS1+5-FU. The key protein of the cross-talk is Bax and these data provided a new strategy to treat colorectal carcinomas.
