Epilepsy is a common nervous system seizure disease in children,20%-30% of them is intractable epilepsy.The pathogenesis of intractable epilepsy in children is not yet identify.Some research think that this may be associated with resistance of a variety of diffe-rent mechanisms of antiepileptic drug and abnormalities of multidrug resistance gene expression.The most investigation of multidrug transpor-ter is P-glycoprotein,multidrug resistance-associated protein.They are present in cell membrane and belong to adenosine triphosphate-dependent membrane transport protein.Studies have showed that over-expression of multidrug transporter in temporal lobe brain tissue of patients with refractory epilepsy and animal model of chronic epilepsy reduce the concentration of therapeutic drug in cells.They result in resis-tance by releasing the energy and transferring large amounts of anti-epileptic drugs to exterior of brain capillary endothelial cells in way of active transport.The relationship between multidrug transporter′s structure,distribution,functions and drug-resistant epilepsy are reviewed.

Streptococcus pneumoniae(S.pn) is an opportunity pathogenic bacteria,environmental factors play a key role in the pathogenicity of S.pn. It is important to study virulent gene in vivo. The S.pn suicide plasmid containing gfp reporter was constructed by fusing the genes pneumolysin and gfp,in which gfp is an excellent molecule probe in vivo. The plasmid was integrated to No.22 S.pn by homologous recombination. The recombinant S.pn was gained and evaluated in aspects of fluorescence excitation, biological character and physio-activity. The results showed it is efficient and available to report the expression of virulent genes in vivo and in vitro, which will provide a new easy method for evaluating and screening the virulent genes of S.pn in vivo.

The effects of effective part group on hyperlipidemia in animal were studied. The SD rats, hamsters and Kunming mouse were divided into blank group, model group. The positive control group and test group were fed with normal diet, blank and other groups were fed with high fat diet (mouse only a single intraperitoneal injection of egg yolk ). The corresponding concentration of solvent, simvastatin, effective part group of emulsion were given gavage once daily. The animal serum total cholesterol (TC) , triglyceride (TG) , low density lipoprotein (LDL) , high density lipoprotein (HDL) and liver TC, TG contents were determined to observe the effects of the effective fractions on blood lipid regulating function. Comparing with control group, the animial hyperlipidemia models of the SD rat (TC increase), mouse (TC, TG, LDL increase), hamsters ( TC, TG, LDL increase, HDL decrease) (P <0. 05, P < 0. 001) were successfully established. Piper longum effective part group could decrease the serum TC, TG, LDL (P <0.05, P < 0. 001) and liver TC, TG content, and elevate serum HDL levels (P <0.05, P <0.001). The golden hamster is ideal for hyperlipidemia model.

Background Glaucoma is one of the leading causes of blindness worldwide;while the different types of glaucoma is vary from different region. Objective Present study was to survey the prevalence and types of glaucoma among peasants of Uigur adults in Kuche county and offer the basis for the prevent and treatment of glaucoma in Uigur nationanlity. Methods 4191 Uigur peasants aged 40 years or above were collected in Kuche county for the survey of prevalence and types of glaucoma by randomized cluster sampling in March and April of 2009. The subjects were grouped into 40-,50-,60- and ≥70 years groups according to the distribution of age. The disease history of glaucoma, regular eye examination, funds examination and measurement of the anterior chamber depth, gonioscope were performed in the all subjects. Darkroom prone test and mydriasis test were carried out in suspicious glaucomous patients. The depth of periphery anterior chamber was assessed based on van Herick' s criteria, and the width of chamber angle was graded based on Scheie' s method. The standardized training was performed. This survey approved by Xinjiang Medical Ethics Committee, all subjects signed the informed consent before the examination. Results 4191 of 4873 subjects finished all the examinations with the response rate 86%. All the subjects showed a good compliance. The prevalence of glaucoma was 3. 79% , and the prevalence of primary angle-closed glaucoma(PACG) .primary angle-open glaucoma (PAOG) and secondary glaucoma was 2.22% ,0.26% and 1. 31% respectively, showing a significant difference among the different types of glaucoma( P<0. 05). The prevalence of glaucoma was elevated with aging (χ2 - 116. 69 ,P<0. 05) and presented a high rate in male subjects compared with female ones(χ2 = 7. 34, P<0. 05 ). Bilateral blindness was found in 19.75% glaucoma peasants, in which 25.3% glaucoma peasants received anti-glaucoma surgery. The distribution of visual acuity of patients was of significant difference among different age groups(χ2 = 37. 69 ,P<0. 05 ) . Conclusions The prevalence of the glaucoma among Uigur peasants in Kuche county was higher than most area no matter inland or overseas. PACG still is the common type in those people.

Objective To observe the incidence of phlebitis in patients with PICC through peripheral vein and its nursing effect, in order to aLleviate the patients' suffering. Methods The 60 volunteers were divided into three groups randomly, who were received PICC through basilie vein, vena mediana and cephalic vein, the incidence of of phlebitis and therapeutic effieaey were analyzed. Results 2 patients appeared phlebitis in 20 cases received PICC through basilic vein, 3 patients in 20 eases through eubital vein, and all cured;11 patients in 20 eases through cephalic vein, while 9 patients were cured and 2 patients were detubated in cephalic vein group. Conclusions It' s suggested that the prevalence of phlebitis with PICC through cephalic vein is high, with long treat time and low cure rate. It' s likely to reduce the phlebitis occurrence and patients relief from pain through eephalic vein.

Objective To explore the effect of psychological intervention for patients underwent acute exacerbation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (AECOPD), and whom were assisted by mechanical ventilator. Methods All of the 80 patients were divided into two groups randomly, there were 40 patients in each group, Both groups were given routing care, and for the intervention group, psychological intervention was added for patients and its family. Then anxiety was compared between the two groups by Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA). Results Compared to the control group, the patients in the intervention group suffered fewer tracheal intubation (P<0.05 ), got less score ( P< 0.05 ), and less given up the therapy ( P < 0.05 ), then lessen the medical cost(P <0.05 ). Conclusions Psychological intervention can greatly relieve the anxiety of AECOPD patients assisted by ventilator, shorten the lCU hospital duration and reduce the medical cost.

OBJECTIVETo study the effect of Jingjielianqiao Decoction in promoting leg ulcer in rabbits.

METHODSNine adult male New Zealand albino rabbits with chronic leg ulcers were randomized into 3 groups, namely group A treated with Jingjielianqiao Decoction, group B with Shengjiyuhong Decoction, and group C with normal saline. Gross observation of the wounds was carried out regularly for evaluating the changes in the ulcerous area, depth and wound surface excretion. After 3 weeks of treatment, the tissues on the edge of the ulcer were sampled and prepared for routine pathological examination, electron microscopy and immunohistochemistry for vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) and CD34. The number of blood vessels and their areas were also recorded.

RESULTSThe wounds showed no significant differences between the 3 groups by gross observation during the treatment, but after completion of the 3-week treatment, routine pathological examination and electron microscopy revealed significant differences between the groups. Immunohistochemistry for VEGF and CD34 yielded comparable results between groups A and B (positive control), but showed significant differences between group C and the other two groups (P<0.01).

CONCLUSIONJingjielianqiao Decoction and Shengjiyuhong Decoction can obviously promote the healing of leg ulcer in rabbits.
