OBJECTIVE:To analyze and determine the compositions of monosaccharide in polysaccharide from leaves and twigs of Morus nigra from Xinjiang.METHODS:The polysaccharides in leaves and twigs of M.nigra were extracted by water and precipitated by ethanol then hydrolyzed into monosaccharide by using 2 mol?L-1 H2SO4.The monosaccharide was derivatized with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-5-pyrazolone(PMP) and determined by RP-HPLC. RESULTS:The polysaccharide in leaves and twigs of M.nigra were composed of mannose,rhamnose,glucuronic acid,galacturonic acid,glucose,galactose and arabinose etc. All the 7 monosaccharides were well-separated within 25 min. CONCLUSION:The method is simple and sensitive with accurate results,and it can be used for the quality control of leaves and twigs of M.nigra from Xinjiang.

Objective To observe the changes of serum lipids ,hs‐CRP ,MFG‐E8 and Klotho gene levels after rosuvatatin treatment in elderly patients with coronary heart disease complicating hyperlipidemia for investigating the action mechanisms of ro‐suvatatin and its application value .Methods Totally 129 elderly patients with coronary artery disease complicating hyperlipidemia in our hospital were randomly divided into two groups .The control group received only conventional treatment ,while on this basis the rosuvatatin group was given rosuvastatin 10 mg everyday ,with 2 months as a treatment cycle .Blood lipids ,hs‐CRP ,MFG‐E8 and Klotho gene levels before and after treatment were compared between the two groups .The regulation effect of rosuvatatin was investigated Results The blood lipod ,hs‐CRP ,MFG‐E8 and Klotho before treatment had no obvious difference between the two groups .The levels of TC ,LDL‐C and TG after treatment in the rosuvatatin group were significantly decreased compared with the control group ,while the HDL‐C level was significantly increased ,the differences were statistically significant (P<0 .05) .In addi‐tion ,the hs‐CRP level after treatment in the rosuvatatin group was significantly lower than that in the control group (P<0 .05) . Compared with the control group ,the levels of MFG‐E8 and Klotho after treatment in the rosuvatatin group were increased ,the difference was statistically significant (P<0 .05) .Conclusion Rosuvastatin could decrease the blood lipid and hs‐CRP levels ,up‐regulates the MFG‐E8 and Klotho levels ,alleviates the inflammatory reaction and has the anti‐vascular aging effect ,thus effectively treats the patients with coronary heart disease complicating hyperlipidemia .

Objective To investigate colonization status and risk factors of multidrug-resistant organisms (MDROs)in a surgical intensive care unit (SICU),and provide a basis for active clinical screening of MDROs. Methods From June 1,2013 to August 31,2013,patients who admitted to SICU≥24 hours were performed active screening,the colnization status of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)and extended-spectrumβ-lactamase-producing Escherichiacoli/Klebsiellapneumoniae (ESBL-E.coli/Kp)among patients were detected,re-lated risk factors were analyzed. Results When patients who admitted to SICU≤48 hours,the detection rate of MRSA and ESBL-E.coli/Kp was 1 1 .00% and 73 .00% respectively;when admitted to SICU>7 days,the increased detection rate of MRSA and ESBL-E.coli/Kp was 16.67% and 44.44% respectively. Patients stayed in hospital >7 days before admit-ting to SICU (OR95% CI:4.48 [1 .21-16.65 ])was an independent risk factor of carrying MRSA when admitting to SICU,APACHEⅡscore ≥16 (OR95% CI:6.36[1.47-27.54])was an independent risk factor of carrying MRSA 48 hours after admitting to SICU. Conclusion When patients admitted to SICU,the carrying rate of MDROs is high,isola-tion rate rises with prolonged length of SICU stay. Hospitals should carry out MDRO colonization screening proj ect among patients and implement effective isolation control measures to reduce the incidence of healthcare-associated infection.

Objective To provide a practicable method for the complete display and localization of the posterolateral structures (PLS) of the normal knee through MRI study. Methods 30 tibial bone specimens were observed to establish the bony landmark for localizing the knee. In 50 cadaver knees, the angles between lateral tibial plateau and the long axis of the individual structure of PLS were measured. Then the scan methods of the oblique MR images were determined based on above results. The routine and oblique scans of T 1WI were performed in 40 normal knees. The display effect and appearance of the PLS were observed on MRI. Results The lateral tibial plateau was a stable bony landmark for measuring and localizing of the knee. In the 40 normal knees, The fibular collateral ligament could be intactly displayed on 70? posterior coronal oblique images in 34 cases (85%). The popliteus could be better seen on either 45? medial sagittal oblique in 34 cases (85%) or 60? posterior coronal oblique planes in 36 cases (90%). The popliteofibular ligament could be intactly appreciated on both 60? posterior coronal oblique in 32 cases (80%) and 70? lateral sagittal oblique images in 34 cases (85%). Although the arcuate ligament and the fabellofibular ligament could occasionally be seen on routine and oblique images, but the display rate was lower. Conclusion The oblique MR imaging can intactly display the main structures of PLS, and can be useful in diagnosing the injuries in those structures.

OBJECTIVETo provide a new material for producing the Rhodiolasachalinensis products, the effect of methyl jasmonate (MeJA) on callus biomass and effective compound accumulation of Rhodiolasachalinensis was studied.
METHODThe calluses-cultured in 3 L-air lift balloon type bioreactor were treated with MeJA after 20 d of bioreactor culture and the effect of MeJA concentration and treatment days on callus biomass, salidroside or polysaccharide accumulation and superoxide dismutase (SOD) and peroxidase (POD) activities were investigated.
RESULTThe callus biomass was not significantly different after MeJA treatment (125) for 0-6 d but obviously decreased after 6 d treatment. The maximum salidroside or polysaccharide contents and SOD or POD activities were found after 4 d treatment of MeJA. MeJA concentration significantly affected callus biomass and effective compound accumulation, biomass decreased at MeJA concentrations higher than 125 μmol x L(-1). However, the effective compound contents were determined at higher MeJA concentration, and the highest salidroside and polysaccharide accumulation was found at 225 and 275 μmol x L(-1) MeJA, respectively and the maximum SOD and POD activities was found at 225 μmol x L(-1) MeJA. The effective compound contents in callus were compared with field-grown plants. Salidroside contents in calluses were 1.1-fold and 2. 4-fold more than in plant roots and stem or leave, respectively. Polysaccharide content in calluses were 3. 6-fold and 8.0-fold more than in plant roots and stem or leave, respectively.
CONCLUSIONSalidorside and polysaccharide in Rhodiolasachalinensiscalluses improved by MeJA treatment, 225 μmol x L(-1) MeJA and 4 d treatment were optimal. The effective compound contents in callus were obviously higher than in field-grown plants. Therefore, bioreactor culture is efficient for obtaining mass effective compounds of Rhodiolasachalinensis by culturing calluses. This method could provide an alternative material source for production of Rhodiolasachalinensis products.
