Objective:To observe the clinical effect of different background volumes of ropivacaine in continuous tibial nerve block of postoperative analgesia after calcaneal surgery.Methods:This study was a prospective,randomized,controlled study.Sixty cases of calcaneal visual analogue scale (ASA)ⅠorⅡundergoing elective surgery were selected and randomly assigned to two groups,thirty cases in each group.The patients received popliteal fossa posterior tibial nerve block using ultrasound guided.The con-tinuous stimulation catheter was inserted after successful position and the 0.2%ropivacaine was injected. The background volumes of the A and B groups were 5 mL/h and 3.2 mL/h.The VAS score,the senso-ry block and motor block of tibial nerve and common peroneal nerve,and the satisfaction of the patients at h 12,h 24 and h 48 were recorded after catheter insertion.Results:The VAS scores at the three time points (h 12,h 24 and h 48)on the two groups of the patients were compared,and the difference was not statistically significant (P >0.05).The difference of the sensory block and the motor block of the tibial nerve at the three time points (h 12,h 24 and h 48)on the two groups of the patients were also compared,and the difference was not statistically significant (P>0.05).The difference of the sensory block and the motor block of common peroneal nerve at h 48 hs was statistically significant,group A was higher than the group B (P<0.05).The difference of the patient satisfaction at the three time points (h 12,h 24 and h 48)on the two groups was not statistically significant (P>0.05).Conclusion:The use of 0.2% ropivacaine with the background volume of 3.2 mL/h in continuous tibial nerve block can pro-vide good analgesia and reduce the incidence of the sensory block and motor block of the common perone-al nerve.

Objectives To explore the characteristics and value of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in predicting prognosis of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy (HIE) in neonatal period, at 4 months and 4 years old. Methods Twenty-four patients with HIE were examined by MRI. Their MRI results in the neonatal period, at month 4 and year 4 and neurological functions at year 4 were compared. Results Periventricular signal alterations and deep gray matter involvement were common in HIE neonates. The neonates with deep gray matter involvement usually had neurological malfunction and poor prognosis. The patients with encephalomalacia and periventricular leukomalacia at 4 months and 4 years old also had poor prognosis. The abnormal MRI ifndings in HIE children at 4 month and 4 year old predicted the occurrence of neurological malfunction. Con-clusions The MRI of infant at 4 months old is important in prediction of neurological malfunction and provides guidance of clinical intervention for children with HIE.

Objective To study the construction of tissue engineering adipose in vitro with silk fibroin scaffold and human umbilical cord mesenchymal stem cells (hUCMSCs) transfected by recombinant human insulin gene lentivirus.Methods hUCMSCs infected with recombinant lentiviral pLenti6.3-insulin-IRES-EGFP (Group A) by the best MOI=10 were seeded in silk fibroin scaffold; hUCMSCs transfected by EGFP gene (Group B)was regarded as negative control; and then the cell-scaf-fold complexes were cultured in adipogenic differentiation medium. MTT test was used to detect whether recombinant lentiviral affected the growth and proliferation of hUCMSCs and the growth activity of hUCMSCs seeded in silk fibroin.Results After 5-7 days for adipogenic culture,the numbers of fat-like cells in group A were significantly more than those in group B (P =0.007,P＜0.01).RTPCR results showed that the expression of PPARγ-2 in group A was much stronger than that in group B.MTT test showed that there was no significant difference in optical density (A)at each time between transfected group and nontransfected group (P=0.056,P＞0.05).And there was also no significant difference in optical density (A)between cell group and cell-scaffold group (P =0.066,P＞0.05).Conclusions Insulin gene could obviously promote hUCMSCs getting into adipose,and carrying recombinant human insulin gene lentiviral vector transfection of hUCMSCs and silk fibroin scaffolds could effectively construct tissue engineering adipose in vitro.

OBJECTIVE To investigate the phenotypical and genotypical characteristics of the ?-lactamase in the 302 strains of Gram-negative bacilli,and assess the characteristics of the drug resistance.METHODS The phenotypes of ?-lactamase were detected in the Gram-negative bacilli by disc diffusion screen test,which were further ascertained by disc diffusion confirmatory test,a cefoxitin three dimensional test,and metallo ?-lactamases double-disc synergy test.The ?-lactamases were detected by multiple PCR amplification,then DNA product was sequenced.Antibiotics susceptibility was detected by K-B method.RESULTS Among the clinical Gram-negative isolates,a total of 26.49%(80/302)strains′ ?-lactamases phenotypes were positive,ESBLs,ESBLs combined with AmpC enzyme,ESBLs combined with AmpC enzyme and MBL,and AmpC enzyme producing strains were found in 16.56%,6.62%,1.66% and 0.66%,respectively.A total of 24.83% strains′?-lactamases phenotypes were positive,strains produced ESBLs,ESBLs combined with AmpC enzyme,ESBLs combined with AmpC enzyme and MBL,and AmpC enzyme producing strains were found in 17.55%,6.95%,0.33%,and 0.33%,respectively.Drug-sensitivity test showed multi-resistant Gram-negative isolates were more sensitive to amikacin(18.75%),and heavier resistant to ampicillin(97.50%).CONCLUSIONS ?-Lactamase producing Gram-negative bacilli are resistant to multi-antibiotics.

Restriction site amplification polymorphism (RSAP) markers were employed to access the genetic diversity and relationship of 120 lilyturf germplasms from different geographical origins. Sixteen RSAP primer pairs generated 326 polymorphic bands, of which 318 (97.55%) were polymorphic. The value of polymorphism information content (PIC) ranged from 0.87 to 0.95 with an average of 0.92. These results indicated there was abundant genetic diversity among samples. The results of data analysis on 20 population showed that the value of percentage of polymorphic locus (PPL), Nei's gene diversity (H) and Shannon's information index (I) were 19.94%-85.58%, 0.082 6-0.210 7, 0.120 6-0.328 1 respectively. The most abundant genetic diversity was found in the O. japonicus population from Zhejiang and the least in the Liriope minor population. The genetic distance among 20 population was 0.024 6-0.286 8, of which the minimum genetic distance was 0.024 6 between population I and population 13 while the maximum 0.286 8 between population 5 and population 15. Coefficient of genetic differentiation among natural populations was 0.115 3 (Gst). And the gene differentiation contributed to 43.07% of the total genetic variation among populations and to 56.93% within populations. The total gene flow (Nm) was 0.660 9. UPMGA clustering analysis was basically similar to of the principle coordinate analysis (PCA). The 120 samples were classified into four major groups, which were basically corresponded with the genetic relationships based on morphological traits. The results of UPMGA and PCA were also consistent with geographical origins.

Drought stress exerts a considerable effect on growth, physiology and secondary metabolisms of the medicinal plants. It could inhabit the growth of the medicinal plants but promote secretion of secondary metabolites. Other researches indicated that the medicinal plants could depend on the ABA signaling pathway and secreting osmotic substances to resist the drought stress and reduce the damage by it. The article concludes the changes in growth, physiology, secondary metabolisms and response mechanisms of medicinal plants to drought stress that provides a theoretical basis for exploring the relationship between medicinal plants and drought stress.
