Objective To study the degradation of Rhizoma Typhonii polysaccharide with sulfuric acid under the normal and ultrasonic condition. Methods The orthogonal test table L9(34) was used to optimize 4 factors including acid concentration, reaction time, reaction temperature and ultrasonic power, with the yield of the low-molecular-weight polysaccharide as the index. Results The optimal conditions of discomposing Rhizoma Typhonii polysaccharide with sulfuric acid were 10% sulfuric acid, 100 ℃ for 2 h under the normal condition,and the yield of low-molecular-weight polysaccharide was 36.17%. Under the ultrasonic condition, the optimal conditions were 150 W of the ultrasonic power, 5% sulfuric acid, 40 ℃ for 1 h, and the yield was 44.63%. Conclusion The degrading yield of the low-molecular-weight polysaccharide can be increased under ultrasonic condition with sulfuric acid.

Objective To study the current cases of Keshan disease aims at providing scientific and basic evidence for prevention and control of the disease. Methods In accordance with historical cases, in 2009, an investigation was conducted in the permanent resident population in seriously infected representative villages of landscapes and ways of living such as Xujialeng, Zhuping and some other adjacent villages in Wudu district, Longnan city. People in those areas were examined and carefully observed based on the scheme of Keshan disease surveillance. Then they were enquired about their medical history, given normal clinical examinations and electrocardiogram(ECG) examination, the suspected cases were chest X-rayed. At the same time, some samples of their hair of some children under 12 and adults were collected to be examined for the selenium content. Results Among the total number of 515 subjects, 20 were diagnosed with Keshan disease with a total detection rate of 3.9% (20/515), among whom 13 were potential patients with a detection rate of 2.5%( 13/515), 7 were chronic patients with a detection rate of 1.4%(7/515). In the total number of 515 ECG, 48 were found with abnormal ECG at a detection of 9.3%(48/515). In the 20 patients, the potential patients were mostly featured with incomplete right bundle-branch block(5 cases), complete right bundle-branch block(3 cases), frequent ventricular premature beat (2 cases) and left ventricle high voltage(2 cases), while the chronic patients were mostly featured with incomplete right bundle-branch block(2 cases). Of the 29 chest X-ray films, 17 cases had heart enlargement with a detection rate of 58.6%( 17/29). The selenium content in the hair of 10 adults and 10 children were (0.38±0.09), (0.31±0.12) mg/kg, respectively. Conclusion There are still existing some cases and obvious virulence factors of Keshan disease in Wudu district, Longnan city.

Objective To observe the effect of Antivirus Compound Capsule in protecting liver and reducing enzyme level in chronic type B hepatitis and acute hepatic injury caused by D-GlaN.Methods Mice model was established by intraperitoneal injecting of D-GlaN 800mg/Kg.The level of ALT and AST was obviously increased after 48hours.Pathological test proved to be acute liver cell damage.Clinically 117 cases of chronic hepatitis B was recruited into a control group(57 cases)and a treatment group(60 cases).The treatment group was treated with Antivims Compound Capsule and Silymarin tablet,and the control group was treated with Silymarin tablet.Besides,both groups were infused with diammonium Compound Capsule Can obviously reduce level of AST(P<0.001、<0.01、<0.01、<0.001);Three dosage levels of Antivirus Compound Capsule can obviously reduce the degree hepatic pathological changes caused by D-GlaN induced(P<0.01、<for the treatment group andtlle control group) between the two groups with P>0.02.while there was obvious difference of negative conversion rate of AST.[92.98%(53/57)and 78.9%(45/57)for the treaunent group and the consul group]between the two groups with P<0.01.Conclusion Antivirus Compound Capsule is effective in protecting liver and reducing enzyme level of patients with chronic hepatitis B and acute hepatic injury caused bv D-GlaN.

Objective To explore the relationship between dipeptidyl peptidaseⅡ(DPPⅡ) and the pathogenesis of congenital cataract.Methods Eighty SCR rats with congenital cataract were randomly divided into four groups:8,10,12 and 14 weeks groups(n=20).Normal Wistar rats at each age were used as control groups.Immunohistochemical experiments using the streptavidin-biotin immunoper-oxidase method were used to observe the immunoreactivity changes of DPPⅡ in lens in SCR rats at different time(8,10,12,14 weeks).Results The immunoreactivities of DPPⅡ in the lens epithelial cells and fibres of cataractous lenses of all ages were higher than those in control groups.At the 12th and 14th week,immunoreactive staining of DPPⅡwas found to extend into the perinuclear region.Conclusion The immunoreactivity of DPPⅡ is enhanced in cataractous rat lenses.DPPⅡ may be participated in the proteolytic modification of lens proteins during cataractogenesis.

Neurogenic detrusor overactivity (NDO) often occurs after spinal cord injury, which often causes urinary tract infection, vesi-coureteral reflux, or even renal failure, and seriously impacts on the patient's quality of life. This paper reviewed the mechanism, the com-mon treatment methods, and neuromodulation theray of NDO after spinal cord injury, and elaborated percutaneous posterior tibial nerve stimulation, pudendal nerve regulation and the sacral neuromodulation respectively.

Objective:To isolate rabbit fibroblast-like synoviocytes(FLSs) by suspended explant culture method. Methods:The healthy rabbit joint synovial layers were obtained. The cells were cultured by suspended explant culture method and compared with the explants adherent culture method. The growth status and morphology were observed. The growth curve of the 3rd passage cells was measured by CCK-8 assay,and the expression of vimentin was tested by immunocytochemistry. Results: The FLS obtained by the two methods exhibited a spindle-shaped appearance and could rapidly expand. The cell growth curve was typical of S type, and the cells highly expressed vimentin. Conclusion:Primary culture of rabbit fibroblast-like synoviocytes by suspended explant culture method were successfully established. The method was simple and highly efficient. It provided a new method for the isolation of FLS in vitro.

Objective To assess the value of three-dimensional double echo steady state with water excitation (3D-DESSwe) MR sequence in depicting the normal anatomy of facial nerve. Methods 3D-DESSwe MR sequence was performed in 15 healthy volunteers on a 1.5T MR. The 3D datasets obtained were constructed in relation to the course of the facial nerve using multi-planar reconstruction (MPR) and thin slice maximum intensity projection (MIP) programs, and the images acquired were compared with anatomical textbook diagrams. Two doctors analyzed the images in collaboration and recorded on an arbitrary scale of 0-2 grades (grade 2, homogeneity and facial nerve identified with certainty;grade 1, mild inhomogeneity and facial nerve probably identified;grade 0, severe inhomogeneity and facial nerve not identified). Results In all subjects, 3D-DESSwe images provided reliable definition of the normal facial nerve anatomy bilaterally and high contrast between the facial nerve and adjacent structures were obtained. The cisternal segment of facial nerve showed high signal intensity while the moving CSF flow surrounding it showed low signal intensity. The internal auditory canal (IAC) segment of facial nerve showed relatively low signal intensity while the stationary CSF surrounding it showed high signal intensity. The labyrinthine, tympanic, mastoid and extracranial segments of facial nerve showed high signal intensity while the bone and soft tissue surrounding it showed low signal intensity, and parts of facial nerve branches could be demonstrated. Conclusion 3D-DESSwe sequence can display the complete course of the normal facial nerve, especially for the intratemporal and extracranial parts.
