Objective To evaluate disinfectant efficacy of air disinfector and ultraviolet lamp.Methods Domestic literatures were searched by computer,RevMan 5 .3 software provided by the Cochrane collaboration was used for quantitative analysis,efficacy of two kinds of air disinfection methods was compared. Results A total of 1 1 articles met the inclusion criteria. Because the heterogeneity of literatures,random effects model analysis was adopted, colony forming unit (CFU)before disinfection(WMD= -26.28,95% CI:[-60.31,7.75],P>0.05 )and immediately-after disinfection(WMD= 22.45,95% CI:[-34.24,79.13],P>0.05)had no obvious difference between two methods respectively,but CFU of air disinfector 2 hours after disinfection was significantly less than ultraviolet lamp group(WMD= -345.11,95% CI:[-478.28,-211.94],P<0.05).Conclusion Air disinfector has good continuous disinfection efficacy.

Objective To explore the effect of Mycobacterium tuberculosis antigen (Mtb-Ag) on neutrophils apoptosis.Methods The fresh isolated neutrophils from healthy adults blood were cultured with Mtb-Ag for 24 h,with or without pretreatment of nuclear factor -?B (NF-?B) inhibitor N-tosyl-L-phenylanyl chloromethyl ketone (TPCK) for 30 minutes.Annexin V staining and Flow cytometry were used to measure cell apoptosis of neutrophils.NF-?B DNA binding was measured by gelelectrophorestic mobility shift assay (EMSA) in neutrophils after incubated with Mtb-Ag for 0,1,2,4,6,24 hours.Results Comparing to the spontaneous apoptosis (55%?6%) of neutrophils after culture in vitro for 24 h,treatment of Mtb-Ag (1.125 mg/ml) decreased the cell apoptosis of neutrophils (32%?3%).The NF-?B shift bands were detected at 1 h in neutrophils after stimulated by Mtb-Ag,and reached maximum peak at 2 hours,and then returned to basal levels within 24 h.Pretreatment of TPCK inhibited the anti-apoptosis role of Mtb-Ag in neutrophils.Conclusion Mtb-Ag prevents neutrophils apoptosis and its inhibitory role concerns NF-?B pathway.

Objective: To study the pharmacological effects of Zengxuean capsule (Radix Astragali, Indigo Naturalis, Cordyceps, etc) on anti inflammation.Methods:A few conventional models, such as the mouse pinna swelling induced by croton oil, were employed to determine the anti inflammatory activities of Zengxuean capsule.Results: Zengxuean capsule obviously inhibited the swelling of mouse pinna induced by croton oil, suppressed the edema of rat hind paw elicited by injection of 1% carrageenan, significantly depressed the increase of peritoneal capillary permeability in the xylene induced mice, and greatly decreased proliferation of granuloma led by implanting cotton pellet. It had an abatement effect of algesia induced by heat with tail flick method, and could not inhibit the swelling of pinna led by croton oil when mouse's adrenal was resected.Conclusion: Zengxuean capsule is an effective medicine on anti inflammation, and its acitivity is realized by adrenal cortical system.

In order to optimize extraction process conditions of tannins from Geranium orientali-tibeticum by supercritical CO2, the content of tannins was determined by phosphomolybdium tungsten acid-casein reaction, with extraction pressure, extraction temper- ature and extraction time as factors, the content of tannins from extract of G. orientali-tibeticum as index, technology conditions were optimized by orthogonal test. Optimum technology conditions were as follows: extraction pressure was 25 MPa, extraction temperature was 50 °C, extracted 1.5 h. The content of tannins in extract was 12.91 mg x g(-1), extract rate was 3.67%. The method established could be used for assay the contents of tannin in G. orientali-tibeticum. The circulated extraction was an effective extraction process that was stable and feasible, and that provides a way of the extraction process conditions of tannin from G. orientali-tibeticum.

Purpose To evaluate the application of fluorescence in situ hybridization ( FISH) in detection of EWSR1 gene translocation in formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded tissue samples of Ewing family tumor ( EFT) . Methods Four cases of EFT were collected and their clinical pathological features were obsered. Interphase FISH was carried out in paraffin-embedded tissue of EFT cases, using a EWSR1 dual colar break-apart probe. Fifteen cases of other soft tissue tumor were selected as negative control. Results Translocation of EWSR1 was detected in four EFT cases, which may be a adjuvantly diagnositic value for the diagnosis of atypical cases. Conclu-sions FISH may serve as an adjunctive diagnostic tool in problematic cases of EFT, however, FISH results should be interpreted con-cerning clinical pathological features, morphological patterns and immunohistological results.

Objective To conduct comparative study of vertebral artery blood flow of arteriosclerosis patients and healthy people using color Doppler ultrasound (CDUS),and to discuss the effect of arteriosclerosis on vertebral arterial blood flow.Methods Two hundred and eighty-five cases of vertebral artery test were collected and divided in to normal group of one hundred and thirty-five cases and vertebral artery sclerosis group of one hundred and fifty cases according to the presence of vertebral artery sclerosis.Time averaged maximum velocity (TAMV) and vertebral artery diameter(D) of vertebral artery were measured using CDUS technique.Unilateral vertebral artery blood flow and total blood flow were calculated.Results The vertebral artery TAMV and total blood flow of arteriosclerosis group was both lower than that of normal group (P＜0.05).Left side vertebral artery diameters of the two groups were higher than that of the right side.Conclusions Arteriosclerosis can reduce vertebral artery TAMV and blood flow.The inner diameter of the left side vertebral artery dominates the artery blood flow.

Objective To understand the situation of iodine deficiency disorders of Cangzhou city, Hebei province, in order to provide the scientific basis for prevention and control of iodine deficiency disorders. Methods From 2007 to 2009, dynamic monitoring of iodine deficiency disorders was carried out in low iodized salt coverage places Hejian city and Xian county. Nine towns were randomly chosen in each county, 4 administrative villages were randomly selected in each town, 8 household salts were tested in each village. Every year, 1 - 3 copies of residents water samples were collected for determination of iodine; more than 100 students age 8 - 10 years old were checked the situation of goiter and urinary iodine, more than 40 students selected were measured iodine content of salt from their home; more than 50 women of childbearing age 18 - 40 years were tested of urinary iodine. Thyroid was examined with palpation; water iodine and urine iodine concentration were measured with arsenic-Ce catalytic spectrophotometry; salt iodine was detected by direct titration. Results From 2007 to 2009,median household salt iodine were 4.3,15.9,3.6,18.4,4.6,11.7 mg/kg in Hejian city and Xian county, respectively,iodized salt accounted for 34.03% (98/288), 78.82% (227/288), 29.86% (86/288), 84.72% (244/288), 37.15%(107/288),49.31% (142/288), respectively, the consuming rate of iodized salt were 27.08% (78/288),36.46%( 105/288 ), 28.13% (81/288 ), 49.31% ( 142/288 ), 37.15 % ( 107/288 ), 30.90% ( 89/288 ), respectively. Ten samples of drinking water were tested, water iodine were 5.5 - 34.4 μg/L. From 2007 to 2009, the goiter rate of students aged 8 - 10 years old was below 5%, the median of urinary iodine were 138.1,176.6,112.0 μg/L, ＜ 100 μg/L ratio were 31.6% ( 65/206 ), 25.0% ( 52/208 ) and 44.4% (91/205 ). The median of urinary iodine of child-bearing age women were 167.3,164.2,78.1 μg/L, ＜ 100 μg/L ratio were 28.7%(29/101 ), 19.2%(20/104) and 60.0%(60/100).Conclusions In areas with low coverage of iodized salt, iodine nutrition level are affected, the child-bearing age

Objective To investigate the association of two functional polymorphisms of tryptophan hydroxylase 2(THP2) gene,rs4570625 and rs4565946,with poststroke anxiety disorders.Methods Totally 112 poststroke anxiety patients and 246 non-anxious stroke controls were included and completed Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale.DNA was extracted from blood and genotyped for the two polymorphisms of THP2 gene by polymorphism chain reaction.Results The G allele of rs4570625 was associated with the increased risk of poststroke anxiety.Both the GG genotype and G allele were observed to be significantly higher in female case than in control.No significant difference in genotype and allele firequencies of the rs4565946 was found among the groups.Patients with the G-C haplotype had significantly increased the risk of poststroke anxiety compared to controls.Conclusions Our findings suggest that these ftmctional polymorphisms in TPH2 gene may be involved in development of poststroke anxiety.
