Supplementary concept records ( SCB ) can effectively supplement and expand MeSH by forming the mapping between SCB and MeSH. Chinese herbal medicine terms indentified by MeSH Browser in SCB were analyzed in aspects of their distribution,single medicine,abstracted compositions,compound prescription,classical prescription, slef-made prescription, and use frequency,which showed the supplementary concepts in relation with Chinese herbal medicine and the existed problems. Suggestions were put forward for the use of Chinese herbal medicine terms in MeSH SCB, such as promoting their standardization, and use of standard terms when scientists publish their papers and retrieve papers from databases.

Objective To investigate the impact of pelvic muscle training (PFMT) on the quality of life (QOL) and incidence of postoperative complications in stress urinary incontinence (SUI) patients after tension-free vaginal tape surgery (TVT). In order to provide evidence for clinical nurses taking measures to promote rehabilitation of postoperative patients. Methods A total of 101 female SUI patients who underwent TVT surgery were included in this study. 50 patients in the trial group received pelvic muscle training guidance by one-to-one for 3months while 51 patients in the control group were instructed to the routine discharge guidance. All patients were asked to finish the Incontinence-specific Quality of Life questionnaire (I-QOL) at the day before surgery and 3 months after the surgery, respectively. And incidence of postoperative complications were evaluated at 3 months after the surgery. Results A total of 94 participants completed all questionnaires, including 48 patients of the trial group and 46 patients of the control group. The postoperative score of I-QOL in the trial group were higher than that of control group (94.32 vs. 90.34, Z=3.863, P<0.01). Further analysis found that avoidance and limiting behaviors domain score (90.63 vs.87.50, Z=3.227, P<0.01) and psychosocial impacts domain score (97.22 vs. 90.28, Z=4.186, P<0.01) in the trial group were higher than that of control group. The incidence of postoperative urgency urinary incontinence was significantly difference between the two groups (χ2=4.953,P=0.026), the proportion were 16.67% (8/48) in the trial group and 36.96% (17/46) in the control group, respectively. According to the results, the patients′overall quality of life of the trial group was better than that of control group after surgery. Conclusions Postoperative SUI patients′implementation of pelvic muscle training can significantly increase their quality of life and can decrease the incidence of urgency urinary incontinence.

Herpesviruses is one of the most common human infectious diseases, which can be divided into different types based on clinical infection degree.Herpes simplex virus usually results in buccal and genital mucocutaneous infections, while cytomegalovirus is the most common opportunistic pathogen associated with significant morbidity and mortality in immunocompromised hosts, especially in transplant and cancer patients.Although nucleoside analogues are effective antiviral drugs, the emergence of drug-resistant viruses has created a barrier for the treatment of herpesviruses infections, especially in immunocompromised patients.Therefore, novel therapeutic agents are needed to avoid the limitations of drug resistance.In this article, research progress in the therapeutic agents for drug-resistant herpesviruses was reviewed from the aspects of non-nucleoside analogues, novel antiviral targets and newly antiviral mechanisms.

In chronic pancreatitis tissue, PPAR-γ, AT1R and AT2R were positively expressed in acinus, ductal epithelial cells, and islet cell, the positive scores were 3.28 ± 2.46, 4.36 ± 2.80 and 4.61 ± 2.89, which were significantly higher than those in the normal group (P<0.01, P <0.01, P<0.05). Conclusions PPAR-γ, AT1R and AT2R were positively expressed in chronic pancreatitis tissue, and they may be the treatment target of chronic pancreatitis.

BACKGROUND: The application of deacetylated chitin (chitosan, DC) prepared by traditional technique was limited because of its lower degree of deacetylation, impurity and relative lower molecular mass.OBJECTIVE: To improve the traditional technique for extraction and preparation of DC from the rustae f oratosquila oratoria.DESIGN: Contrasting observation.SETTING: Shandong Institute of Biopharmaceutics.MATERIALS: The experiment was carried out in the Shandong Key Laboratory for iopharmaceutics, Shandong Institute of Biopharmaceutics from February 2003 to January 2004. Experimental nstrument: Mettler AE240 electronic analytical balance and ZK-40AB electrothermal vacuum drying oven were rovided by Mettler-Toledo Instruments Co., Ltd. And ShangHai Shuli Instruments Co.,Ltd., respectively. Xperimental materials: oratosquila oratoria was purchased from Jinan aquatic products market.METHODS: ①C as traditionally prepared from chitin by decoloring with strong oxidant and deacetylating with concentrated alkaline liquor under high temperature. Chitin was extracted from crustae of shrimp and crab fter decalcification with diluted acid and deproteinization with diluted base. ②The improved preparation echnique: The crustae of oratosquila oratoria was decalcificated and decolorized with diluted acid, and as deproteinized and decolorized with diluted base at room temperature, and then the chitin was obtained fter the second decalcification and decolorization with diluted acid. The crude DC was obtained from hitin after deacetylation and decolorization with concentrated ase at 55-65 ℃. The crude DC was issolved n diluted acid and filtered. The filtrate was collected, precipitated with dilute base. After filtering, he sediments were retained, washed with water and dried. Then pure DC was obtained.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: he comparison between improved technique and traditional technique; Color, dissolvability in diluted cid, ield, degree of deacetylation and dynamic viscosity of DC prepared by different techniques.RESULTS: ①echnique comparison: Compared with traditional technique, the reaction of improved preparation technique as milder, and the deproteinization was at room temperature; it did not need an isolated decolorization;deacetylation was at low temperature, and had a refine process. ②Detection indexes of DC: he yield of DC prepared by improved technique was little lower than that by traditional technique (15%, 7% respectively). The degree of deacetylation and dynamic viscosity were both higher than those by raditional technique (＞ 95%,＜ 70%; ＞ 120mPa·s,＜ 80 mPa·s , respectively). The color was white or lmost white, which was better than that by traditional technique (yellow or gray). The DC could ompletely issolve in dilute acid, and the dissolvability was better than that by traditional technique (dissolved artly in dilute acid).CONCLUSION: Compared with the traditional technique, the improved technique was mpler and the reaction conditions were milder.

Objective To investigate the effect of needle sizes and aspiration techniques on sample quantity. Methods Aspiration was performed on porcine liver in vitro for 10 times with three different sizes of needles(19 G, 22 G and 25 G) and four different aspiration techniques[non?negative pressure(NP), 10 ml NP,20 ml NP and slow?pull], 20 mm in depth. A total of six aspirations were performed with each needle by the same aspiration technique. All the obtained specimens were fixed in formalin with the cell block method. The samples were evacuated according to our grading criteria. Results The mean±standard deviation(SD) score for 19 G,22 G, 25 G were 5?71±0?69,4?63±1?24, 3?79±1?84 respectively. The mean±SD score for methods non?NP,10 ml NP,20 ml NP and slow?pull were 4?72±1?53,4?56±1?46,4?72±1?50,4?83±1?76 respectively. The multi?analysis of variance results showed that there were statistical differences between different needles size( F=12?00,P<0?001) with 19 G being the best,followed by 22 G and the least specimen obtained by 25 G needle. There were no statistical differences among aspiration techniques ( F=0?128, P=0?943).The analysis showed that the thicker the needle was,the better sample quality was 19 G yielded to the highest quantity of specimens. The most specimens could be obtained with 19 G needle and non?NP, 22 G needle and 20 ml NP and 25 G needle and slow?pull. Conclusion In clinic, aspiration technique should be selected according to different aspiration needles. 19 G is superior to others, with non?NP method. For 22 G needle, 20 ml NP is preferred and for 25 G needle,slow?pull is preferred.

Objective To investigate the role of norepinephrine in the down-regulated visceral sensitivity of rats deprived of rapid eye movement(REM)sleep.Methods Twenty-four male Sprague- Dawley rats were randomly divided into 3 groups:cage-yoked rats as control(YC),rats with REM sleep deprivation(SD)and rats with yohimbine administered intraperitoneally after REM sleep deprivation(YSD).Flower pot technique was employed to make sleep deprivation model.YSD group was given vohimbine intraperitoneally at the 48th hour after REM sleep deprivation.After both SD and YSD groups had completed these processes,rats of all the three groups were given colorectal distension(CRD)and electromyogram (EMG)was recorded at the same time.The number of discharges of EMG and the threshold of Dain perception of the rats were observed to evaluate the visceral sensitivity.The thalamus,rectum and distal colon were taken after CRD;MAO-mRNA and TH-mRNA in three tissues were detected with RT-PCR.Resuits On 48th hour,the number of discharges of EMG in 10 seconds responding to CRD in group SD was significantly less than that in group YC and the threshold of pain perception in group SD was higher than that in group YC(P＜0.05).The number of discharge of EMG in group YSD was significantly more than that in group SD(P＜0.05).The expression of MAO-mRNA in group SD was lower than that in group YC(P＜0.05)and the expression of TH-mRNA in group SD was higher than that in group YC(P＜ 0.05).Conclusions The visceral sensitivity in rats is down-regulated by REM sleep deprivation,which can increase synthesis of norepinephrine.Norepinephrine can modulate visceral sensitivity.
