Regulatory T cells are a specialized subpopulation of T lymphocytes that play important roles in immunosuppression, maintaining immune balance and self-immune tolerance. The latest researches show that not only that FOXP3 + CD25+ CD4 + regulatory T cells (Tregs) are expressed in tumor tissues and peripheral blood of patients of various forms of cancers, Tregs also participate in the occurrence, development and prognosis of tumors.

AIM:To optimize the extraction process of tannins from Galla Chinensis. METHODS: Using of HPLC to assay tannins hydrolysis, gallic acid as the content index was analyzed by HPLC, the optimum extraction condition consisted of extraction temperature, the size of material, the solvent extraction times and the extraction time by orthogonal test design. RESULTS: The best condition of extraction process was 10 times the volume of water, extracted three times, 9 hours each time. CONCLUSION: The optimized process is feasible for the extraction of tannins.

According to the national residency training regulations in the teaching of clinical and scientific research, the department of thoracic surgery of First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University has used seminar teaching , and has collected random sampling survey questionnaire of 110 students participating in seminar from September 2014 to March 2016. The investigation shows that through seminar teaching training, doctors will cultivate their clinical and research ability, and enhance their self-confidence. Therefore, the application of seminar teaching in department of thoracic surgery is helpful to improving the quality of clinical teaching and is worthy of further improvement and promotion.

This study discussed problems in consistency assessment of generic drugs and analyzed effect of polymorphs on drug quality and its influence on consistency of curative efficiency.Relationship between evaluation method of polymorphs and curative efficiency was investigated.It showed that establishment of curative efficiency related evaluation indicators was necessary and improvment of techniques was important.Drug quality criteria should be added with requirement of curative efficiency control.Related information based on polymorphs could be provided for technical research in consistency assessment.

Neurodegenerative diseases are complex nervous system disorders as a result of myelin damage,synapses loss and/ or neuron loss. The pathogenesis of these diseases is still not completely clear. Protein kinases play an important role in both normal nerve cells and neurodegenerative disorders. lnhibitors of protein kinases can effectively regulate the physiological function of nerve cells and prevent the development and progression of the disease. This article reviews protein kinases and their inhibitors involved in Alzheimer disease,Parkinson disease,Huntington disease and other neurodegenerative diseases.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the distribution,epidemic trend and transition of drugs′ sensitivity about the pathogenic bacteria of children′s urinary tract infection(UTI) in the past 8 years in the local area.METHODS The medical records of 391 UTI cases which were hospitalized in our hospital and confirmed as UTI through urine culture from 2000 to 2007,were reviewed and the clinical features were analyzed.RESULTS A total of 402 pathogenic bacteria were determined.Gram-negative bacilli were predominant,accounted for 72.9%,and Escherichia were the most commonly found(34.4%).Gram-positive cocci accounted for 27.1%,including 12.9% of Staphylococcus and 10.4% of Enterococcus.The proportion of Escherichia,Klebsiella and Enterococcus was increased year by year.Gram-negative bacilli had a high resistance rate to ampicillin and 1st to 4th generation cefalosporins and a low resistance rate to piperacillin/tazobactam.Gram-positive cocci had a high resistance rate to ampicillin and erythromycin and a low resistance rate to nitrofurantoin and vancomycin.In the past 8 years,the resistance rate to most of the antibacterial agents has been increased,especially ampicillin and cephalosporins.Only piperacillin/tazobactam and vancomycin maintained high antibacterial activities.CONCLUSIONS Gram-negative bacilli are the major pathogens in pediatric UTI,and Gram-positive cocci appear to be increasing.Ampicillin should not to be chosen commonly.The observation of variation of pathogenic bacteria and drug resistance is of great importance.

Diagnostic methods play important role in theoretical system of Inner Canon of Huangdi.There are 74 articles about diagnostic methods,which contains near 50 kinds of TCM diagnostic methods referred to pulse diagnosis,colour inspection and so on.This paper analyze the connotation and extension of the term "diagnostic method",establish a theoretical framework of dynamic whole concept,bi-directional discrimination,characteristics of triple pathogens and four kinds of methods.The diagnostic model of"shape-spirit-transporting qi"and the modern language"nature-biology-psychology-society" four-dimensional diagnostic method are constructed.

OBJECTIVE: To study the anti-inflammatory effect of the aqueous extracts of Sophorae tonkinensison. METHODS: The auricle edema was induced by xylene in the mice to measure the swelling of ear; the experimental peritonitis of mice and scytitis of rats were induced to measure the absorbability of the effusion. The ear swelling and capillary permeab-ility in drug-treated group was compared with those in the normal control group and hydrocortisone-intervented model group.RESULTS: Mice's swelling induced by xylene was lessened by aqueous extracts of Sophorae tonkinensison(high or med-ium dose), which also showed remarkable inhibitory effects on the experimental peritonitis of mice and scytitis of rats (P

Objective To observe the protective effect of high expression of mouse proxisome proliferator activated receptor γ1（PPARγ1）on free fatty acid （FFA）-induced βTC3 cell impairment. Methods The recombinant plasmid pcDNA3.1/PPARγ1 was generated with cloning and was stably transfected into pancreatic β TC3 cells. The expression was detected with semi-quantitative RT-PCR. Then the cell viability of wild βTC3 cells was compared with that of the βTC3 cells with high expressed PPARγ1 by MTT viability assay after they were exposed to high-level FFA for 48 hours. Results The sequencing results for amplified target gene showed that the sequence of PPARγ1 from Chinese Kunming mouse is similar to that of mouse PPARγ1 in Genebank, only the codon coding Asp at the site of 421 amino acid changed from AAU to AAC. PPARγ1 was efficiently expressed in βTC3 cells in vitro. The cell viability of wild βTC3 cells reduced after being exposed to high-level FFA for 48 hours（P< 0.01）. Higher the level of FFA was, more obvious the reduction of the cell viability was （r=-0.962, P<0.01）. However, at the same condition, the cell viability of the βTC3 cells high expressing PPARγ1 had no significant change（P>0.05）. Conclusion The high expression of PPARγ1 could protect βTC3 cells from FFA-induced impairment
