Proteins from dried roots of three medicinal Panax species (P. Quinquefolius, P. ginseng and P. nologinseng) were analyzed by SDS-PAGE and Western-blot. The protein fin- gerprints of Panax species were confirmed. From 28KD to 58KD and 55KD are in common. Very specific fingerprints of P. quinquefolius are found below 28KD. The fingerprints above 58KD seemed to be peculiar to P. ginsing. Hence the Western-blot approach can be used as a means to authenticate the concerned Panax species, especially for identification of P. quinquefolius.

ObjectiveTo identify the status of quality of life in breast cancer patients and explore the impact of environmental factors on quality of life in breast cancer patients receiving chemotherapy. MethodsTotally 201 primary breast cancer patients undergoing chemotherapy after surgery were investigated.Self-developed demographic and clinical character investigation questionnaire,WHO Disability Assessment Schedule Ⅱ(WHODAS Ⅱ),and environmental factors in International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health(ICF)core sets for breast cancer patients were adopted to collect relevant data. ResultsBreast cancer patients had different levels of difficulties on each domain of WHODAS Ⅱ.Multiple stepwise regression analysis demonstrated that“material and emotional support and interrelationship with friends”, “social security service,system and policies” and“social norms,practices and ideologies” were factors influencing quality of life of breast cancer patients. ConclusionsIn addition to the strengthen of rehabilitation exercise training,nurses should advocate more services from society through policy making,prompt public awareness and scientific cognition,as well as construct effective nursing interventions to help enlarge social support resources and improve social support level.

Objective The purpose of this study was to explore the expression of human fibrinogen-like protein 2 (hFgl2) in patients with cryptococcal meningitis (CM).Methods The expression of hFgl2 in the peripheral blood leukocytes from 20 CM cases and 20 healthy individuals,and the expression of hFgl2 in cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) leukocytes in 11 pairs of CM patients and matched controls was detected using immunohistochemical methods.Medical image analysis system (MIAS) was used to analyze the expression of hFgl2 gray values,which were negatively correlated to the expression of hFgl2 protein in both peripheral blood and CSF.Results The average gray values for hFgl2 protein in peripheral monocytes of CM patients and healthy controls were 114.49± 11.82 and 137.56± 10.64,respectively,and those in peripheral neutrophils were 111.71 ± 8.62 and 143.56±12.57,respectively.Compared with the healthy control group,expressions of hFgl2 in peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils were both significantly increased in CM patients (t =21.21,t=27.19; P＜0.01).The average gray values for hFgl2 protein in CSF monocytes from CM patients and negative controls were 115.44±8.67 and 149.25±8.57,respectively,and those in CSFneutrophils were 111.71±8.62 and 143.56 ± 12.57,respectively.The expressions of hFgl2 in CSFmonocytes and neutrophils were significantly increased in CM patients (t =29.95,t=28.87; P＜0.01),while the expression intensity of hFgl2 was similar when peripheral blood monocytes and neutrophils compared with their CSF counterparts (t=0.924,t=0.607; both P＞0.05).Conclusions hFgl2 can be expressed in both peripheral and CSF monocytes and neutrophils in CM patients.

Objective To investigate the degradation rate of profenofos in soil. Methods The residues of profenofos at different times after spraying on soil were determined by GC-FPD method. Results Detection limit of profenofos in soil was 0.04 mg/kg. The recovery rates and relative standard deviation obtained by adding standard assay were 95.2%～98.7% and 3.4%～4.5% respectively. According to the dose recommended, degradation of profenofos sprayed on soil was consistent with one range dynamics. The half-life of profenofos in soil was 1.09 days. At the 13th day after spraying on soil, 98.3% of profenofos had degraded. Conclusion This method was simple, rapid, accurate and precise. The degradation of profenofos was more rapid and profenofos contamination in soil was not a serious problem.

[Objective] To observe the effect of medical ozone on cartilage in the model of osteoarthritis(OA)to explore its therapeutic mechanism.[Method] Forty healthy adult SD rats were randomly divided into five groups :A(group normal)、B(group model)、C(group air),D(group O2~O3 35 ?g/ml)and E(group O2~O3 70 ?g/ml)(n=8 in each group).The OA model was duplicated by performed anterior eruciate ligament transection(ACLT)and partial meniscectomy of 1/3 inside.Air was injected into joints of group C,according to concentration different,which O2~O3 35 ?g/ml and O2~O3 70 ?g/ml were respectively injected into joints to D and E group every other day,every time 1～1.5 ml,and after a week injected again.After the model was successfully made,the condylar cartilage of femur was excised after 4 weeks for the observation by transmissive microscope of HE staining.Mankin's index was recorded.At the end of the experiment,douche fluid of the diseased joints were obtained for the measurements of superoxide dismutase(SOD)and malondialdehyde(MDA).[Result]The OA model in B group founded obviously degenerative changes under microscopy,resulting in mostly blue and green color destaining of Masson staining at superficial cartilage.The activity of SOD in the douche fluid of the diseased joints degraded and the quantity of MDA in the serum in the OA model group increased.The Mankin's index in the group D was significantly higher than that in the group B、 C(P

ObjectiveTo observe the effect of two kinds of combination of acupuncture points on postoperative enteroparalysis.Methods96 patients with postoperative enteroparalysis were divided into the group A (n=44) and group B (n=52). The patients of the group A were treated with acupuncture on Mu points and lower-he point, while those of the group B on Back-shu points and distant lower-he point. The therapeutic effect of two groups was compared.ResultsThe two therapeutic methods had good effect, but the Back-shu points and distant lower-he points was superior to the Mu points and distant lower-he points ( P<0.05).ConclusionAcupuncture with combination of special points has better effect on postoperative enteroparalysis.

Objective To study the In vitro expansion of human CD8+ CD28- suppressor T cells and their immunological regulatory effect.Methods Human CD8 + CD28- suppressor T cells were expanded in vitro driven by the combination of cytokines and allogeneic antigen presenting cells (APCs).Flow cytometry was used to assess the development of CD28- subpopulation.Expanded CD8+ CD28- T cells were isolated by immunomagnetic microspheres and then added as third part modulators into mixed lymphocyte culture to assess their immunological regulatory characteristics.Results The combination of cytokines included IL-2,IL-7 and IL-15 and allogeneic APCs could increase the portion of CD8 + CD28- T cell subtype,and expansion fold of CD8+ CD28- T cell subtype was significantly increased as compared with others (P＜0.05).Expanded CD8+ CD28- T cells could suppress the proliferation of CD4+ T cells stimulated by allogeneic APCs.Moreover,this suppression had antigen specificity.Conclusion Human CD8 + CD28- suppressor T cells can be in vitro expanded in large amounts driven by the combination of cytokines and allogeneic APCs.Expanded CD8 + CD28- T cells in this study have antigen specific regulatory characteristics.
