Objective To study the influence of different anticoagulant tube of blood for blood plasma total homocysteine (tHcy) . Methods Six healthy subjects were selected, then the fasting venous blood samples were collected with EDTA-2k tube,sodium citrate tube and lithium heparin tube, respectively. The blood samples were kept under different conditions. The concentrations of tHcy were determined by quantitative HPLC method and the data were analyzed using SPSS17.0 software. Results Under the conditions of 4℃placed for 2 h, 4 h, 7 h, and- 20 ℃ placed for 1 d, 3 d, 5 d after separating plasma, the concentrations of plasma tHcy in different anticoagulant tubes were no statistical difference. In addition, after placing the whole blood at 4℃for 2 h, 4 h, 7 h, the concentrations of plasma tHcy of separated plasma in different anticoagulant tubes were no statistical differences. Conclusion There are no significant differences in determination of the concentration of plasma tHcy when using EDTA-2k tube,sodium citrate tube and lithium heparin tube sampling blood.

The B.subtilis ywtD gene,encoding a ?-polyglutamic acid(?-PGA)depolymerase,was amplified from the genome of B.subtilis NX-2 by PCR.The comparability between the cloned ywtD gene sequence to the reported sequence is high to 99.0%.Only one of the substituted nucleotide base caused the change to the amino acid sequence.The recombinant plasmid pET-15b-ywtD was then transformed into E.coli Rosetta(DE3)and the ywtD gene product could be expressed with the induction of 0.5mmol/L IPTG.The YwtD protein exhibited a remarkable activity in ?-polyglutamic acid degradation.The molecular weight of ?-PGA could be reduced from 700kDa to 20kDa after 72h through the enzymatic hydrolysis and consequently trended to be constant.

Objective: To investigate the stability of icariin, 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside and hyperoside in Huangmai mixture.Methods: TLC was used to identify astrogaloside IV and Morindae officinalis Radix, and HPLC was used to determine the contents of icariin, 2,3,5,4'-retrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside and hyperoside.The stability of Huangmai mixture under the conditions of accelerated testing and long-term testing was assessed.Results: Astrogaloside IV, Morindae officinalis Radix and icariin showed good stability during the accelerated testing and long-term testing.The contents of 2,3,5,4'-tetrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside and hyperoside declined quickly during the stability testing.Conclusion: Hyperoside and 2,3,5,4'-retrahydroxy-stilbene-2-O-β-D-glucoside are unstable in Huangmai mixture.A novel solid dosage form of Huangmai should be developed to obtain better stability.

Methods 19 children with ADHD/ inattentive type( ADHD?I) ,13children with ADHD/hyperactive?impulsive( ADHD?HI) 33 children with ADHD/combined type ( ADHD?C ) and 30 normal children were tested by Stroop test ( included Stroop C and Stroop CW) ,modified Wisconsin card sorting test( M?WCST) , tower of Hanoi,digital span and verbal fluency. Results The scores of Stroop C and Stroop CW,digit inverse reci?ting,tower of Hanoi and WCST in the children with ADHD were worse than those in normal control((104.8±4.0), (105.9±4.2),(104.8±3.7),(104.8±4.0), P<0.05;(84.0±9.2),(84.8±7.9),(78.2±7.8),(92.2±7.1), P<0.01;(4.0±1.8),(3.7±1.2),(3.8±1.5),(5.1±1.6), P<0.01;(3.0±1.0),(3.3±1.0),(2.7±1.3),(3.8±1.3), P<0.01;(4.1±1.6),(4.2±1.9),(4.3±2.1),(5.4±1.7), P<0.05;(6.6±3.2),(6.7±2.4),(8.0±2.9),(5.3± 2.4), P<0.01;(10.2±2.8),(11.1±3.8),(12.3±4.0),(9.4±3.2), P<0.05). The scores of Stroop CW in the chil?dren with ADHD?C were worse than those in other two subtypes(P<0.01). Conclusion The executive functions of the chil?dren with ADHD are impaired,including poor response inhibition,working memory,planning and cognitive flexibility. The dysfunction of response inhibition is possible an index to discriminate the subtypes of ADHD.

Objective To investigate the analgesic effect of oxysophoridine(OSR)and the influence of verapamil(Ver)on the antinociception of OSR when two drugs were co-administrated in mice.Methods The number of writhing within 15 min after ip different doses of OSR was observed in painful mouse mo- dels caused by acetic acid.The hot plate method was used to assess nociceptive sensitivity of CaCl_2 and Ver before ip OSR.Nitric oxide(NO)in serum was measured by spectrophotometry.Results The number of writhing was decreased and the latency of licking the hind paws was prolonged in a dose-dependent manner after ip OSR.The antinociception of OSR could be antagonized by CaCl_2 and enhanced by Ver.No inter- ference was detected in serum volume of NO.Conclusion These results suggest that OSR can antagonize the acute pain caused by acetic acid and hot plate in a dose-dependent manner in mice.Calcium channel blocker could enhance the effect of OSR.

Objective To observe the effect of underwater treadmill training on patients with incomplete spinal cord injury (SCI).Methods 11 patients with incomplete SCI were treated with underwater treadmill training, besides other comprehensive rehabilitation. Motor and sense scores were assessed using ASIA2000 standard and recorded before and after the underwater treadmill training. Walking distances, maximal walking velocity when training and changes of activities of daily living (ADL) before and after training were also recorded.Results After underwater treadmill training, the sense score of ASIA increased ( P<0.05), motor score of ASIA, and scores of walking distance, maximal walking velocity and ADL increased significantly ( P<0.01).Conclusion The underwater treadmill training along with other routine rehabilitation treatment may be helpful to improve motor and sensory functions and ADL of patients with incomplete SCI.

AIM To study the pharmacokinetics of AZT in mice by encapsulation in liposomes Containing galactosylceramide (GalCer). METHODS AZT was encapsulated in liposomes containing GalCer and the pharmacokinetics of AZT-GalCer and free AZT were observed in mice. RESULTS Higher concentration of AZT in mice injected AZT-GalCer was found in plasma after 30 min and it was ten times as high as in mice injected with AZT. On the other hand, Ke decreased significantly from 0.037 to 0.021 h -1 , T_ 1/2 Ke increased significantly from 19 min to 35 min, and AUC was 2.77 times as high as in mice injected with AZT. CONCLUSIONS AZT-GalCer serving as a dilivery carrier could prolong the effective concentration of AZT in plasma. AZT-GalCer might have great therapeutic potential for treating AIDS.-

AIM　To observe the preventive action of leflunomide (Lef) on CCl4-induced liver fibrosis and explore its mechanism. METHODS Model of liver fibrosis in mice was induced by subcutaneous injection of CCl4(20%). The levels of ALT、AST、NO in plasma and Hyp in liver tissue were determined by spectroscopy. The content of HA in plasma was determined by radioimmunoassay. RESULTS Pretreatment of Lef (4,12,36 mg·kg-1) significantly reduced the elevated levels of ALT、AST、NO in plasma and Hyp in liver tissue, Pathological examination suggested Lef has preventive action on experimental liver fibrosis with significance. CONCLUSION Lef has significantly preventive action on CCl4-induced liver fibrosis possibly mediated by reduction of NO.

Objective To investigate the level of professional commitment of student nurses,and explore the impact of student nurses' role conflict and role ambiguity on their professional commitment.Methods From May to June 2014,totally 320 student nurses from a third-level hospital in Tianjin were recruited in this study.And Role Stress Scale and Nursing Professional Commitment Scale were used in the investigation.Results The total score of role stress of student nurses was (44.29±5.53) scores,and the total score of professional commitment of student nurses was (86.12±14.14) scores.Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis showed that student nurses' role conflict was positively correlated with professional commitment,but their role ambiguity was negatively correlated with professional commitment.Conclusion School and hospital managers should adopt effective measures to relieve student nurses' role ambiguity and guide the correct understanding of role conflict to maintain a stable nursing team.

Objective To establish abdominal aortic dissection model in ApoE-/-mice, and to evaluate the ability of 7.0T MR to detect the abdominal aortic artery aneurysms in ApoE-/-mice in vivo. Methods ApoE-/-mice aged 10 months were infused with angiotensin Ⅱ with 14 days Osmotic minipump after 10 weeks of high lipid diet. Two different doses of angiotensin Ⅱ were given to mice, i.e. 1000 ng/(kg·min) and 500 ng/(kg·min), respectively. The contrast group was infused with saline water. The abdominal aortic artery was observed in vivo with MR before and within 14 days infusion. At last, the pathological changes of the abdominal artery were compared with MRI findings. Results After 6 or 7 days higher dose of angiotensin Ⅱ infusion, aortic dissection was seen. MR T2WI showed crescent-shaped high signal in the vessel wall of one side，the pathological study identified the hematoma between media and adventitia. Abdominal aortic dissection aneurysms were also found in the mice 13 or 14 days after lower dose of angiotensin Ⅱ infusion, which were consistent with pathological studies. Besides, the signal of the vessel wall was significantly higher in both T2WI and PDWI sequences. There was excellent agreement between MR and histopathology. 〖WTHZ〗 Conclusion Abdominal aortic dissection aneurysms model can be successfully established with different doses (1000 ng/(kg·min) and 500 ng/(kg·min)) of angiotensin Ⅱ infusion into ApoE-/-mice fed with high lipid diet. High-resolution MR is able to visualize the abdominal aortic dissection aneurysm formation in vivo.
