[Objective]To study the dental status,the development of jaw and the size of sella turcica of children with ectoder-mal dysplasia(ED).[Methods]Panaramic radiography and lateral cephalograms of six ED individuals(age range of 6~7 years,five males and one female)were obtained. The dental status was record. 17 measurements about the jaws and the sella turcica were mea-sured and compare them to Chinese children without ED syndrome.[Results]The mean number of missing teeth was 22.3 in perma-nent dentition and 16.2 in primary dentition;The teeth that most likely to absent were permanent lateral incisor ,maxillary first premo-lar,maxillary primary lateral incisor and mandibular primary central incisor,and all remaining teeth are in conical shape. Lateral cephalometric measurements showed that all ED subjects had lower ANS-Ptm,which suggested a short maxilla. Low Co-Po,ANB, NA-PA,N-Me,N-ANS and ANS-Me values that were found in all subjects,as well as low SNA,Y-axis,MP-FH,S-Co,and high SNB,NP-FH,NP-FH that were noted in some subjects showed counterclockwise rotation and protrusion of mandible with short-er length in ED subjects. Some subjects had low ANS-Me/N-Me × 100%and high N-ANS/N-Me × 100%,representing a short facial height. Five cases represented lower length and diameter of sella turcica;two cases showed lower depth of sella turcica ,indicating the abnormal development of sella turcica.[Conclusion]The results of this study suggest that the dentition ,jaws and sella turcica in ED children differs when compared to individuals without this syndrome.

Objective To explore the influence of Clostridium butyricum on the expression of vascular endothelial cell growth factor (VEGF) and its receptor 2 (VEGFR-2), proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA), and tight junction protein claudin-2 in intestinal tissue in newborn rat with necrotizing enterocolitis (NEC). Methods Forty-eight-hour-old Sprague-Dewley (SD) rats were randomly divided into model group, control group, low-dose group, mid-dose group, and high-dose group, 12 rats each. Rats in each group were fed with milk substitute. The NEC model were created by hypoxia and cold stimulation for 3 consecutive days in model group, low-dose group, mid-dose group, and high-dose group. Meanwhile, low-dose group, mid-dose group, and high-dose group were intervened by being fed with Clostridium butyricum 0.2, 0.4, and 0.8 g/(kg·d), respectively. All rats in each group were sacriifced on day 4 and the intestines tissue was obtained. The pathological changes had been observed. The expression of VEGF, PCNA, and claudin-2 were detected by immunohistochemistry. The expression of VEGFR-2 was detected by RT-PCR. Results The intestines pathological scores was signiifcantly different among ifve groups (P0 . 05 ) with the scores being higher in model group than in low-dose group, mid-dose group, high-dose, group and control group, and being higher in all intervention groups than in control group (P all?0 . 05 ). The expressions of VEGF, VEGFR-2 , and claudin-2 in model group were higher than those in all intervention groups and control group with them being higher in all intervention group than in control group (P all?0 . 05 ). The expression of PCNA in model group was lower than those in all intervention groups and control group with it being lower in all intervention groups than that in control group (P all?0 . 05 ). The expression of VEGF, VEGF-2 , PCNA, and claudin-2 were no different among intervention groups (P all?>?0 . 05 ). Conclusion The expression of VEGF, VEGF-2 , and claudin-2 were higher in rats with NEC, while the expression of PCNA was lower. Supplementation of Clostridium butyricum may protect newborn rats by its act on these factors.

The excipient processing is an essential part of traditional Chinese medicine processing, and understanding its scientific connotations is a critical scientific issue that urgently needs resolution. Building upon a foundation where the composition of traditional Chinese medicine substances is fundamentally clear, this paper applies the techniques and methods of chemoinformatics to the study of the excipient processing mechanism. Relevant information on traditional Chinese medicines processed with four kinds of excipients (wine, vinegar, salt and honey) was collected, including properties, taste, meridian tropism, chemical components, etc. Molecular descritors and skeletons corresponding to each chemical component were calculated using chemoinformatics to characterize the properties and structural features of the components. Characteristic components associated with the four excipients (wine, vinegar, salt and honey) were explored through multivariate statistical analysis and Murcko skeleton analysis.

OBJECTIVE:
To select specific DNA aptamer for determining ketamine by FluMag-SELEX.
METHODS:
Based on magnetic beads with tosyl surface modification as solid carrier and ketamine as target, a random ssDNA library with total length of 78 bp in vitro was compounded. After 13 rounds screening, DNA cloning and sequencing were done. Primary and secondary, structures were analyzed. The affinity, specificity and Kd values of selected aptamer were measured by monitoring the fluorescence intensity.
RESULTS:
Two ssDNA aptamers (Apt#4 and Apt#8) were successfully selected with high and specific abilities to bind ketamine as target with Kd value of 0.59 and 0.66 μmol/L. The prediction of secondary structure was main stem-loop and G-tetramer. The stem was the basis of stability of aptamer's structure. And loop and G-tetramer was the key of specific binding of ketamine.
CONCLUSION
FluMag-SELEX can greatly improve the selection efficiency of the aptamer, obtain the ketamine-binding DNA aptamer, and develop a new method for rapid detection of ketamine.

OBJECTIVETo explore the causative role of human bocavirus (HBOV) played in acute respiratory infection and diarrhea in children, a case-control study was prospectively conducted to investigate HBOV detection in symptomatic children with acute respiratory tract infection, diarrhea and asymptomatic children.
METHODBetween Oct. and Dec. of 2008, 436 nasopharyngeal aspirates (NPA) from hospitalized children with acute respiratory infection and 150 NPA from asymptomatic children undergoing cardiac operations were consecutively collected. During the same time, 220 stool samples were taken from outpatients with acute watery diarrhea and 200 control specimens were obtained from children without diarrhea. HBOV was screened in all samples by real-time PCR method. HBOV-positive respiratory samples were tested for other 9 common respiratory viruses and Mycoplasma pneumoniae. HBOV-positive fecal samples were also tested for common enteric viruses causing diarrhea.
RESULTHBOV was detected in NPA samples from 45 (10.3%) of 436 symptomatic patients and from 1(0.7%) of 150 asymptomatic control children. There was a statistically significant difference in the detection rates of HBOV between the symptomatic group and the asymptomatic group (P < 0.001). HBOV co-existence with other respiratory pathogens occurred in 44.7% (20/45) of NPA from symptomatic patients. HBOV was detected in 10.3% (43/417) children with community-acquired respiratory infection and 10.5% (2/19) children with nosocomial respiratory infection. Children with HBOV infection were 1.3 to 72 months of age (mean: 18.3 ± 13.6 months). HBOV was found positive in 6 (2.7%) of 220 stool samples from diarrheal outpatients and in 4 (2%) of 200 control samples. All children with HBOV positive detection in the stool samples were less than 4 years old. No statistical significance was found (P > 0.05) in HBOV between diarrhea patients and asymptomatic ones. In addition, 5 of 6 HBOV-positive fecal specimens from children with diarrhea were found co-infected with rotavirus.
CONCLUSIONThis study supports that HBOV is related to acute respiratory infection in children and HBOV infection usually occurs in infants and young children. However, further study is needed to clarify if HBOV plays a pathogenic role in diarrhea in children.

12 strains of H2-producing bacteria were isolated and purified from anaerobic sludge, aerobic sludge and river bottom sludge by Hungate method. A new species of high efficient hydrogen production bacterium Enterococcus sp. LG1 (registration number: EU258743 ) was studied deeply. It was showed that the Enterococcus sp. LG1 was an anaerobic and Gram-negative bacterium. Sequence analysis of this type of clones showed that it was affiliated with the genus Enterococcus and it was not reported yet in other paper at present. Meanwhile, batch tests of anaerobic fermentative hydrogen production by Enterococcus sp. LG1 were investigated by using sterilization pretreated sludge as substrate. The changes of soluble COD, protein, carbohydrate and pH value during hydrogen fermentation were monitored. It was found that only hydrogen and carbon dioxide were produced by this strain and no methane was detected during fermentation. The maximal hydrogen yield was 36.48 mL/g TCOD and the hydrogen concentration in the gas phase was 73.5%. The Enterococcus sp. LG1 was a butyrate fermentation bacteria analyzed by metabolites.
