The relationship of the nose tip position and the skull figures which were measured from the lateral craniographs in 49 ladies of 17~19 age living in Shenyang was studied. The figures measured on craniographs were analyzed by multiple stepwise regression analysis on IBM-PC/XT computer, and the regressoin equations for estimating the nose tip position of female in Shenyang were obtained. Cases in which the errors were within 2 mm were 71.43 to 77. 55 percent.
2.New light on nomegestrol acetate pharmacological profile
Chinese Pharmacological Bulletin 2003;0(11):-
Nomegestrol acetate, 19-norprogesterone de ri vatives, has been used for oral contraception. Recently, studies showed that nom egestrol was a selective estrogen enzyme modulator (SEEM). Nomegestrol is capabl e of inhibiting estrone sulfatase and 17-beta-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenase (17 beta-HSD) and increasing the activity of sulfotransferase,which will provide a new option in the treatment of breast cancer. In addition, nomegestrol has stro ng reversal effects on multidrug resistance in breast cancer cells. In vitro, nomegestrol also exhibits as an inhibitor on endometrial proliferation in uter us. These advances will be introduced in the present review.

B cell maturation antigen (BCMA) is a receptor of B lymphocyte stimulator (BLyS). Human IgG1Fc fusion proteins with the extracellular domain of BCMA(eBCMA), also called decoy receptors, have beenused as a potential BLyS antagonists to block BLyS activities. In order to design novel BLyS antagonistpeptides, computer-aided homologue modeling was used to construct an eBCMA-Fc fusion protein based on thecrystal structures of BCMA and Fc fragmant. To ensure the activity of eBCMA not to be interfered by Fcfusion, the root mean square distance (RMSD) for eBCMA and Fc were calculated to be 0.036 nm and 0.064nm, respectively, based on molecular docking modeling. An eBCMA-Fc fusion gene was constructed andintroduced into E. coli for expression. As expected, the purified 36 kD eBCMA-Fc fusion protein was able tobind BLyS in vitro at a dosage-dependent manner and demonstrated an anti-proliferative activity induced byBLyS in Daudi cells. The results have provided useful information on the evaluation of computer modeling andthe in vitro biological activity for the design of potential BLyS antagonist peptides.

Objective To observe the expression of Toll-like receptors (TLRs) 2,4 and 9 in lesions of lupus vulgaris and tuberculosis verrucosa cutis,and to evaluate the possible roles of these receptors in the pathogenesis of cutaneous tuberculosis.Methods Skin specimens were obtained from the lesions of 18 patients with clinically and pathologically diagnosed lupus vulgaris or tuberculosis verrucosa cutis,15 patients with plaque-type psoriasis (positive control),and from perilesional normal skin of 10 patients with pigmented nevi (negative control).Immunohistochemistry was used to detect the expression of TLRs 2,4 and 9 in these specimens,and the expression intensity was expressed as absorbence values.Data were analysed by using the SPSS 13.0 software,and t test was conducted to assess the differences between the three groups of specimens.Results TLR-2 was observed mainly in the middle and upper layer of epidermis in lesions of cutaneous tuberculosis and psoriasis,and in the whole epidermis except the basal layer in normal skin,with no significant difference in the expression intensity between the three groups of specimens (0.25 ± 0.04 vs.0.25 ± 0.05 vs.0.28 ± 0.03,P > 0.05).TLR-4 was weakly expressed in cutaneous tuberculosis lesions,absent or slightly expressed in normal skin and psoriatic lesions,and the expression level of TLR-4 was significantly higher in cutaneous tuberculosis lesions than in normal skin and psoriatic lesions (0.16 ± 0.07 vs.0.07 ± 0.09 and 0.02± 0.05,t =2.58,6.24,P < 0.01 and 0.05).TLR-9 was expressed in the whole epidermal layer,including appendages and vascular walls,of cutaneous tuberculosis and normal skin,with a significant increase in cutaneous tuberculosis than in the normal skin (0.25 ± 0.05 vs.0.19 ± 0.05,t =2.88,P< 0.05).Conclusions TLRs 2,4 and 9 are all expressed in cutaneous tuberculosis losious,and the expression intensity of TLR-4 and TLR-9 is higher in cutaneous tuberculosis lesions than in normal skin,hinting that TLR-4 and TLR-9 play a certain role in the immune response of cutaneous tuberculosis.

Objective To optimize the prescription of preparation technology of Xiaoer Qingfei Dispersible Tablets. Methods The filler, disintegrant, adhesive, lubricant, and drug loading were screened by single factor tests. The combined application proportion of three disintegrating agents, PVPP, CMS-Na, and L-HPC, were optimized by orthogonal test. Results The best prescription of preparation technology of dispersible tablets:microcrystalline cellulose as filler;silica gel powder as lubricant;75%alcohol as the adhesive;PVPP, L-HPC, and CMS-Na as combined disintegrants (L-HPC∶PVPP∶CMS-Na=4∶3∶6). The disintegration time of prepared dispersible tablets was less than 3 minutes, and all through the No.2 sieve. Dispersible uniformity was in accordance with the provisions. Conclusion Xiaoer Qingfei Dispersible Tablets prepared by the optimized preparation process are stable and feasible, and suitable for clinical application.

Three bacteria of decomposing lecithin and 4 bacteria of dissolving aptite were incubated for 4 weeks with sand media respectively. Phosphorus in the sand was extracted with distilled water and measured by different methods. It was found that the bacteria have a quite different ability to release P from the materials. Part of the P released became organic phosphorus compounds in microbial tissue. However, a large amount of the P was reserved in microbial cells in a form of phosphates. The direct measurement of P in the extract by molybdenum blue method would underestimate the capacity of the bacteria to release P from the materials. The correct approach was that the sand was fumigated with chloroform and then digested with acid before the measurement by molybdenum blue method.

Objective To explore the feasibility of the double venipuncture instead of central venous catheter as a temporary vascular access in hemodialysis.Methods The upper arm below the 1/3 was tied a tourniquet,and fistula needle directly punctured the vein in the middle of the elbow.After the success of the puncture,elastic bandage was replaced by a tourniquet,and the ball movement was done by imitating the blood donation member for blood donation at hand gripping a ball or elements as the artery blood lead.Another elbow vein or lower limb saphenous vein was punctured.Thirty patients using double venipuncture dialysis or central venous catheter dialysis 2 weeks or more were randomly selected into each group,and biochemical and renal function was measured before dialysis.Results All of 1 282 patients who were newly into the blood dialysis,mature arteriovenous fistula was in 8 patients (0.6%,8/1 282),deep venipuncture to insert the central venous catheter was in 542 patients(42.3%,542/1 282),using the double venipuncture was in 732 patients (57.1%,732/1 282).The flow of blood was 180-200 ml/min,the avalible time was 1-2 months.The serum creatinine,blood urea nitrogen,calcium,phosphorus and carbon dioxide combining power had no significant difference between two groups (P > 0.05).Conclusions The majority of patients with double venipuncture blood flow can satisfy the need of dialysis.Because the operation is simple,no recycling and may reduce the deep venipuncture,it is an ideal temporary vascular access.
