Objective To establish a specific, sensitive and simple assay for the detection of Brugia malayi larva in Anopheles sinensis .Methods Using a new DNA purification technique (Microcon 100) and two pairs of oligonucleotide primers (p1, p2 and p3,p4) suitable for detecting B malayi in seven areas in our country, the mosquito vectors infected by B malayi were detected by polymerase chain reaction(PCR).Results This PCR method could amplify separately a 322 basepair(bp) and a 155 bp DNA fragment and detect as few as 1/64 of one L 1 in 1 mosquito,the detectable limit was nearly 4 pg DNA of filarial larvae, and it could also detect 1 infected mosquito with one L 3 of B malayi in pools of up to 200 mosquitoes. In contrast,no such specific 322 bp or 155 bp DNA band was detected in Dilofilaria immitis and normal mosquito.Conclusion This PCR techique established for supervision of mosquito vector in B malayi endemic areas is specific,sensitive,and simple.

Coprinus comatus cultivated on cotton seed hull medium decomposed lignocellulose straggly and was high of absolute biological efficiency. Lignocellulose is the main carbon source for the fruiting stage of the fungus. There existed the positive correlation between the degradation rates of the cellulose and hemicellulose in the medium and the activities of extracellular CMCase (carboxymenthelcel lulase), FPase (filter paper cellulase) and HCase (hemicellu-lase), there also existed the positive correlation between the degradation rate of the lignin in the medium and the activity of extracellular laccase, but no correlation between the degradatio rate of the lignin in the medium and the activity of peroxidase. The activity of extracellular amylase was comparatively high at mycelial growth stage, and the protease activity peek was at teh time when the fruitbody matured.

OBJECTIVE:To evaluate the application of narcotic analgesics in the inpatients of our hospital,and to provide ref-erence for rational drug use in clinic. METHODS:The application of narcotic analgesics in the inpatients of our hospital during 2013-2016 was analyzed statistically in respects of consumption sum,DDDs,DDC and B/A. RESULTS:There were 13 kinds of narcotic analgesics in the inpatients of our hospital. Top 3 narcotic analgesics in the list of consumption sum were Fentany transder-mal patches (8.4 mg),Oxycodone hydrochloride prolonged-release tablets (20 mg) and Fentany transdermal patches (4.2 mg) in our hospital during 2013-2016. Top 2 drugs in the list of DDDs were Fentany transdermal patches(4.2 mg)and Fentany transder-mal patches (8.4 mg). DDC of Oxycodone hydrochloride prolonged-release tablets (10,20 mg) ranged 350-370 yuan,taking up first or second place. B/A of Oxycodone hydrochloride prolonged-release tablets(10,20 mg)was<0.50,those of Bucinnazine hy-drochloride injection and Compound platycodon tablets were >1.50;those of other drugs mostly ranged 0.50-1.50. CONCLU-SIONS:The consumption trend of narcotic analgesics varies rarely in our hospital during 2013-2016,and the clinical use of narcot-ic analgesics is basically rational. Morphine sustained-release tablet and Fentany transdermal patch have become the first choice for pain treatment.

The authors designed to separate, purify and determine the monosaccharide composition of the polysaccharide from Cordyceps militaris, and study its effect on reverse cholesterol transport in vivo by isotope tracing assay. Polysaccharides were separate and purify by ion exchange column Q-sepharose Fast Flow and size exclusion column Sephacryl S200HR; the molecular weight and monosaccharide composition of the polysaccharides were determined by high performance gel permeation chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography coming with pre-column derivation, respectively. Finally, three purified polysaccharides CMBW1, CMBW2 and CMYW1 were obtained, their total carbohydrate contents were 87%, 89%, 95%, respectively; their protein contents were 6.5%, 1.3%, 2.8%, respectively; their molecular weights were 772.1, 20.9, 13.2 kDa, respectively; CMBW1 was composed of mannose, glucosamine, rhamnose, glucuronic acid, glucose, galactose and arabinose with a molar ratio of 7.25: 0.17: 1.29: 0.23: 6.30: 11.08: 0.79; CMBW2 was composed of mannose, glucosamine, galactose and arabinose with a molar ratio of 2.40: 0.16: 2.92: 0.24; CMYW1 was composed of mannose, glucosamine, glucuronic acid and glucose with a molar ratio of 0.59: 0.57: 0.45: 25.61. Polysaccharide at 50 mg x kg(-1) could significantly improve the transport of 3H- cholesterol to blood and excretion from feces.
