Objective:To optimize the influencing factors in Maillard reaction products ( MRPs) between valine and glucose/fruc-tose. Methods:The heating time, heating temperature, initial pH value and the molar ratio of amino to carbonyl as the evaluation fac-tors,and the activity of MRPs during the processing of Polygonati Rhizoma on DPPH radical scavenging as the evaluation index,the in-fluencing factors were optimized by L9 (34 ) orthogonal design. Results:The optimal reaction conditions for valine and glucose were as follows:the heating time was 24 h, the heating temperature was 110℃, the initial pH value was 7 and the molar ratio was 1∶3. The optimal reaction conditions for valine and fructose were as follows:the heating time was 8 h, the heating temperature was 120℃, the initial pH value was 9 and the molar ratio was 1∶2. Conclusion:The study provides theoretical basis for the further study on the pro-cessing of Polygonati Rhizoma.

Objective To investigate the relationship between cognitive function and emotional status in functional constipation patients.Methods Thirty-five functional constipation patients (the functional constipation group) and 24 healthy controls (the HCs) were enrolled in an event-related potential (ERP),behavior and electroeneephalogram study while performing an oddball auditory task.Response time,accuracy,latency and P300 amplitude were compared between the two groups.The Hamilton depression rating scale (HAMD-17),Hamilton anxiety scale (HAMA),symptom check list-90 (SCL-90) and Eysenck personality questionnaire (EPQ) were administered prior to the oddball task.Results The average HAMD-17,HAM A and SCL-90 (the somatization,obsessive-compulsive disorder,depression,anxiety and psychosis dimensions) scores of the functional constipation group differed significantly from those of the HCs.The intro-extraversion and neurosis dimensions of the EPQ were also significantly different.There was no significant difference in response time or latency between the two groups.The ERP results showed that the P300 amplitudes at the F3 and F7 sites were significantly different between the functional constipation group and the HCs.But there was no significant difference in P300 latencies at F3 or F7 between the two groups.Conclusions The findings suggest that patients with functional constipation are more susceptible to depression and anxiety,as well as somatization,obsessive-compulsive tendencies and other neurotic personality characteristics.Patients may employ psychological defense mechanisms to avoid the depression and anxiety.The ERP results imply there may be the implicit cognitive dysfunction with emotion in patients with functional constipation.

Objective:To investigate the clinical characteristics and prognostic factors of primary signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma of lung. Methods:The clinical features of 22 patients with primary signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma of lung from the year 1981 to 2007 were analyzed retrospectively and made a statistical analysis on the prognostic factors. Results:Postoperative pathologic examination was an important method to confirm the primary signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma of lung and surgery was the main therapeutic approach. The 1-, 3-, and 5-year survival rates were 63.0%, 53.3%, and 37.7%, respectively. Statistical analysis indicated that smoking, tumor size, complete resection, and tumor staging were the independent prognostic factors for patients with primary signet-ring adenocarcinoma of lung.Conclusion:The primary signet-ring cell adenocarcinoma of lung has higher malignancy. Invasion and migration frequently occur. Its prognosis is poor.

Objective To approach the selection of appropriate period and mode of blood purification for treatment of patients with severe acute pancreatitis(SAP)based on acute physiology and chronic health evaluationⅡ(APACHEⅡ)score. Methods The clinical data of 89 patients with SAP were retrospectively analyzed. They were assigned into two groups:the hemoperfusion(HP)and short continuous veno-venous hemodiafiltration(SCVVHDF) group(HP+SCVVHDF,49 cases)and the HP and hemodiafiltration(HDF)group(HP+HDF,40 cases). All the patients were evaluated by APACHEⅡscore. In the HP+HDF group,26 cases with APACHEⅡ<15 were in group A, while 14 cases with 15-25 in group B. In the HP+SCVVHDF group,31 cases with the score 15-25 were in group C, and 18 cases with<15 in group D. One week after the treatment,APACHEⅡscore,oxygenation index(PaO2/FiO2), C-reactive protein(CRP),serum creatinine(SCr),alanine transaminase(ALT)and mortality were observed in all the groups. Results Compared to those before treatment,the APACHEⅡ scores(group A:7.35±2.12 vs. 10.52±3.26,group B:14.35±4.76 vs. 18.43±4.08,group C:11.83±3.85 vs. 19.39±3.64,group D:6.92±2.54 vs. 11.61±2.19),the levels of CRP(mg/L,group A:85.28±23.48 vs. 195.23±56.77,group B:172.67±36.69 vs. 232.65±62.86,group C:112.43±29.48 vs. 257.29±68.39,group D:76.23±29.05 vs. 206.37±65.49),SCr (μmol/L,group A:107.56±73.01 vs. 225.81±119.06,group B:291.49±123.27 vs. 391.76±273.48,group C:254.89±104.37 vs. 403.62±261.53,group D:112.36±55.36 vs. 258.74±128.25)and ALT(U/L,group A:86.93±27.04 vs. 127.56±84.35, group B:116.34±43.98 vs. 189.15±102.85, group C:94.85±74.42 vs. 178.73±87.21,group D:88.49±29.32 vs. 138.24±90.58)after treatment were all decreased markedly in the four groups. The levels of PaO2/FiO2 were obviously higher in the 4 groups after treatment〔mmHg(1 mmHg=0.133 kPa), group A:293.42±31.26 vs. 253.60±26.62,group B:254.12±35.73 vs. 137.56±23.48,group C:283.21±37.48 vs. 131.96±0.45,group D:305.75±29.66 vs. 267.74±31.42〕,but no statistical significant differences in above indexes between group A and group D were found(all P>0.05),while the APACHEⅡ score,PaO2/FiO2,CRP, SCr and ALT were improved more significantly in group C than those in group B(P<0.05 or P<0.01). The mortality rate of those SAP patients with APACHEⅡscore<15 was lower than those in cases with APACHEⅡscore 15-20〔6.82%(3/44)vs. 24.44%(11/45),P<0.05〕. Conclusions Blood purification is an effective measure to save patients with SAP. The APACHEⅡ score used to select the mode of blood purification in appropriate period for treatment of SAP has guiding significance. Currently the modes of blood purification have limited value and cannot cure all SAP patients.

Objective To investigate the effects of ciprofloxacin on anastomotic stoma,small intestinal inflammation and fibrosis in interleukin-10 knock-out mice (mice model of Crohn′s disease (CD)) after ileocaecal resection.Methods Twelve interleukin-10 knockout male C3H/HeJBir mice were evenly divided into control group and ciprofloxacin group.The mice model was established with ileocaecal resection and ileocolostomy.There was no intervention in control group.Ciprofloxacin (50 mg/kg per day)was orally administrated in ciprofloxacin group for four weeks.All the mice were executed.The intestine around anastomotic stoma was taken for hematoxylin-eosin (HE)and Sirius red staining and histological scoring.The level of interferon (IFN)-γand tumor growth factor (TGF)-βin intestine around anastomotic stoma and small intestine was detected by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) method.The content of procollagen α1 was determined by real-time polymerase chain reaction.The data were analyzed by t test.Results The inflammatory reaction level of anastomotic stoma and small intestine in mice of ciprofloxacin group (2.50±0.55 and 1 .67±0.52)was significantly lower than those of control group (3.67±0.63 and 2.83±0.75 ,t=-8.273,-5 .188,both P <0.05 ).The IFN-γof anastomotic stoma and small intestine also significantly decreased ((0.72 ±0.22 )pg/mg vs (1 .76 ±0.43 )pg/mg, (0.23±0.12)pg/mg vs (0.78 ± 0.52 )pg/mg;t = - 7.354,- 5 .268,both P < 0.05).However, ciprofloxacin could not significantly decrease fibrosis in anastomotic stoma and small intestine of CD mice. There was no significant difference in the level of TGF-βcompared with control group.Conclusions The role of ciprofloxacin in improving inflammatory reation in anastomotic stoma of CD mice was limited. Maintenance therapy may be necessary to reduce the relapse of anastomotic stoma diseases.

Problem based learning(PBL) is a teaching mode which is based on the autonomous learning of students in small groups.Due to the limited conditions,PBL method can not be widely applied in Guangzhou Medical University.Teaching and research section of pharmacology established a web based PBL teaching mode (W-PBL) in the school through Blackboard net platform,which enlarged the teaching scope and provided students and teachers with a teaching mode having updated learning patterns and high efficiency.Results of this practice were satisfactory and teaching effect was improved significantly.

BACKGROUNDThe role played by the nitric oxide (NO) signaling pathway in the aqueous humor dynamics is still unclear. This study was designed to investigate the expression and distribution of NO synthase (NOS) isoforms and guanylate cyclase (GC) in human ciliary body, trabecular meshwork and the Schlemm's canal.

METHODSTwelve eyes after corneal transplantation were used. Expression of three NOS isoforms (i.e. neuronal NOS (nNOS), inducible NOS (iNOS) and endothelial NOS (eNOS)) and GC were assessed in 10 eyes by immunohistochemical staining using monoclonal or polyclonal antibody of NOS and GC. Ciliary bodies were dissected free and the total proteins were extracted. Western blotting was performed to confirm the protein expression of 3 NOS isoforms and GC.

RESULTSExpression of 3 NOS isoforms and GC were observed in the ciliary epithelium, ciliary muscle, trabecular meshwork and the endothelium of the Schlemm's canal. Immunoreactivity of nNOS was detected mainly along the apical cytoplasmic junction of the non-pigmented epithelium (NPE) and pigmented epithelial (PE) cells. Protein expressions of 3 NOS isoforms and GC were confirmed in isolated human ciliary body by Western blotting.

CONCLUSIONSThe expression of NOS isoforms and GC in human ciliary body suggest the possible involvement of NO and cyclic guanosine monophosphate (cyclic GMP, cGMP) signaling pathway in the ciliary body, and may play a role in both processes of aqueous humor formation and drainage.
