ObjectiveTo investigate the effects of erythro po ietin on prevention hypoxic-ischemic brain damage (HIBD) and activation of Casp ase-3 in Hippocampal CA1 region in newborn rats. Methods7 d Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into hypoxic-ischemic (HI) group (n=11), recombinant human erythropoietin (rhEPO) treated group (n=11), and sham-op erated control group (n=9). HIBD was established in both HI group and rhEPO treated group. The number of rats animals with spontaneous left-turn in two gro ups was counted respectively at subsequent different time: 0, 6, 12 and 24 h. Th e expression and distribution of activated Caspase-3 was detected by immunohist ochemistry analysis. The positive cells were calculated in hippocampal CA1 regio n of every groups.ResultsTwo rats in HI group and one in rhE PO treated group died from continuous convulsion during hypoxia. all survival ra ts in up two groups had spontaneously left-turn Compared with HI group, the r ate of spontaneous left-turn was dramatically lower in rhEPO treated group (HI group vs rhEPO treated group, 1/10 vs 6/9, P=0.0198) at 24 h after hypox ia. The positive stained cells were distributed dispersively in the brain of con trol group, and more intensively in the hippocampus and cerebral cortex of the o ther two groups. In CA1 region, the number of positive cells in HI group, was si gnificant higher than that in control group ( 41.38 ?2.09 vs 10.52?2.70 , P

Tumor derived microparticles are released by activated or apoptotic tumor cells.They are ex-tracellular vesicles which are 0.1~1.0μm in diameters.Tumor derived microparticles carry abundant bioactive molecules,such as nucleic acids and proteins,which resemble that of the parental cell.In this review,we summa-rize the role of tumor derived microparticles in the occurrence,development,diagnosis and treatment of tumor.

AIM:The model of Salvia miltiorrhiza extracted by alcohol based on adaptive network-based fuzzy inference system(ANFIS)was studied in this paper.METHODS:The ANFIS model was set up by a set of experimental data which were gained on a pilot extraction condition.Then the tanshinone ⅡA content of the alcohol extract from Salvia miltiorrhiza in processing conditions could be predicted by this ANFIS model.The Radix Salvia miltiorrhiza was extracted by alcohol thermal reflux;then initially created a fuzzy inference system model based on network and trained by mixing learning arithmetic.RESULTS:The relative errors between the predicted values and the experimental values were in a allowable range,there were only 4 points greater than 10% of totally 90 calibration points.CONCLUSION:The analytical and experimental results show that the method can effectively forecast the content of the effective ingredient according to preset extraction conditions.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the effect of detection index of IL-4 and IgE on rapid examination of drug-induced allergic reaction.METHODS: The guinea pigs were injected with drugs intravenously and intraperitoneously,such as normal saline,horse serum,Qingkailing injection,Xiangdan injection,cerebrolysin injection and Chuankezhi injection once a day for 3 days.Then the content of IL-4 and IgE in serum of guinea pigs was recorded at different time points.Allergic reactions of guinea pigs were observed 8 days after intravenous administration,14 days and 21 days after intraperitoneous administration.RESULTS: As compared with normal saline except for Chuankezhi injection,serum level of IL-4 and total IgE were raised obviously before guinea pigs were challenged either in 8 days after intravenous injection of other drugs or in 14 days and 21 days after intraperitoneous injection.Allergic reaction occurred on all those guinea pigs after they were challenged.CONCLUSION: The detection of IL-4 and IgE provides a new way for rapid test of drug-induced allergic reaction.

BACKGROUND: Brain ischemia-reperfusion (IR) injury is closely connected with the activity of Kinesin. Previous research believes that reduced activity of Kinesin, a mierotubule based motor protein, is an early mark for nerve cell death induced by brain ischemia. Erigeron breviscapus can prevent brain IR-induced proteinase C activation, reduce calcium overload, and reduce ischemic infarctional volume, thus attenuating brain IR injury. However, it still remains less reported at present whether the neuroprotective role of erigeron breviscapus is related to Kinesin activity.OBJECTIVE: To observe the effect of erigeron breviscapus on the activity of Kinesin, a microtubule based motor protein, in hippocampal pyramidal cells during brain IR.DESIGN: Randomized controlled study.SETTING: Anesthesia Department, Affiliated Hospital of Jining Medical College; Anesthesiology Key Laboratory, Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical College.MATERIALS: This experiment was carried out in the Anesthesiology Key Laboratory, the Affiliated Hospital of Xuzhou Medical College, between February and August 1999. Totally 35 male gerbils were included.METHODS: Gerbils were randomized into sham-operation group (n=5), ischemia-reperfusion control group (n=15) and erigeron breviscapus group (n=15), the latter two of which were further divided into three subgroups according to reperfusion time, namely reperfusion group Ⅰ (reperfusion of 6 hours), reperfusion group Ⅱ (reperfusion of 48 hours) and reperfusion group Ⅲ (reperfusion of 96 hours) with 5 in each subgroup. Gerbils in IR group and erigeron breviscapus group were subjected to IR model preparation before experiment by brain arterial occlusion for 10 minutes, while gerbils in sham-operation group had only bilateral common carotid artery isolated without occlusion. Gerbils in erigeron breviscapus group were pretreated 15 minutes before ischemic inducement with intraperitoneal injection of breviscapine (its effective component is erigeron breviscapus) at a dosage of 45 mg/kg, which was replaced with the same volume of isometric normal saline in sham-operation group and IR group. IHC staining was used to detect hippocampus microtubule based motor protein-Kinesin activity with the assistance of computer imaging analysis technology. MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES: Activity and changes of Kinesin of animals in each group.RESULTS: Totally 35 animals were enrolled in this experiment and all entered the result analysis with no one lost during the experiment. In hippocampal CA1 region, Kinesin activity in IR group was found to descend to 58%, 38% and 12% respectively of that in sham-operation group at IR 6 hours, 48 and 96 hours (P < 0.01). In erigeron breviscapus group at IR 6 hours, 48 hours and 96 hours it was 81%, 61% and 21% of that in shamoperation group, and was obviously higher than that in IR control group (P < 0.05). However, the changes of Kinesin activity were not obviously different in hippocampal CA2, CA3 and CA4 regions.CONCLUSION: Erigeron breviscapus can exert brain-protecting function by reducing hippocampal CA1 Kinesin activity during brain IR injury.

Objective To analyze the predictive factors of fever after percutaneous renal stone surgery,and to provide reference for clinical treatment.Methods A total of 147 patients underwent percutaneous nephrolithotomy in after operation was chosen in the Department of Urology in our hospital from January 2014 to January 2016.According to the existence of fever,patients were divided into fever (n =25,heating rate 17.0％) and control (n =122) groups.Preoperative information were collected,including age,gender,preoperative serum creatinine,stone size and shape,the involvement of calyceal number,water,urine culture results,operative time,blood loss,intraoperative perfusion volume,pyonephrosis,puncture channel length,hospitalization time and other information including intraoperative,postoperative information including fever,and postoperative renal fistula complications if there is information.SPSS 18.0 was used for statistical analysis.Results The fever group stone surface area,CT value affected calyx number,stone shape,stone properties,the involvement of calyceal number,degree of hydronephrosis,operative time,intraoperative blood loss,intraoperative perfusion,hospitalization time,and renal fistula complication rates were higher than the control group (P ＜ 0.05).There were no significant differences between two groups (P ＞0.05).The results of Logistic regression analysis found that the stone surface area (OR =5.19),stone,stone shape (OR =7.86) properties (OR =3.87),operation time (OR =5.68),intraoperative perfusion (OR =5.24),and renal fistula complications (OR =2.65) for the influence factors of fever.Conclusions The stone surface area is large,stone nature infection stones,stone shape for staghorn calculi,longer operation time,and intraoperative perfusion of large renal fistula complications were more prone to postoperative fever in postoperative.

OBJECTIVE To get knowledge of the drugs resistance change of Pseudomonas aeruginosa in intensive care unit ICU, so as to offer the first-hand information to the clinical preventive and therapeutic countermeasures. METHODS Antimicrobial susceptibility tests of Staphylococcus aureus(SAU) were performed from 2001 to 2006. RESULTS The most frequent isolates were P. aeruginosa, Klebsiella pneumonia and Acinetobacter baumannii in 2001-2004. S. aureus were more than A. baumannii in 2006 and became the majore isolated bacteria in the sputum of the ICU patients. The incidence of drug resistance increased yearly(0, 25.0%, 29.4%, 74.4%, 87.7%, 92.7%, respectively) in S. aureus, and it was susceptibte to vancomycin. CONCLUSIONS It was showed that P. aeruginosa, K. pneumonia, A. baumannii and S. aureus were the major pathogens in the ICU, showing high drug resistance. Doctors should pay more attention to analyze the bacterial resistance profile in order to decrease the incidence of drug resistance and use the antibiotics properly.

The study aimed to investigate the effects of small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) specific protease 1 (SENP1) on human PXR-mediated MDR1 transcriptional activity and mRNA expression. Empty vector and expression plasmids, including PXR, SENP1 and SENP1 mutant (SENP1m) were transiently transfected into HepG2 and LS174T cells using Lipo2000. Transcriptional activity was detected by dual luciferase reporter gene assay, and mRNA level was measured using real-time polymerase chain reaction. The results showed that SENP1 could remarkably reduce the rifampicin (RIF)-induced MDR1 reporter activity and mRNA level in hPXR over expressed HepG2 and LS174T cells (P < 0.05), whereas adding SENP1m restored the RIF-induced increases (P < 0.05). These results indicated that SENP1 could repress the RIF-induced hPXR-mediated MDR1 transcriptional activity and mRNA expression.

Objective To establish and optimize the technology and method of producing large quantity and high-paclitaxe yield callus of 〖WTBX〗Taxus chinensis var. mairei. Methods Wild maternal tree grown in Lingchuan County of Shanxi Province and cultivated tree grown in Xi′an were used as explant source. And the optimum maternal tree for explant cutting, optimum explant type, basic medium, composition and concentration of growth regulators in medium and so on, which were factors of affecting on callus induction, growth and paclitaxe yield, were examined in a series order. Results The juvenile stem segments were the optimum explants because of their earlier and higher rate callus induction than that of other explants. Medium Y5: MS+2,4-D 4.0 mg/L+KIN 1.0 mg/L or medium B5 Ⅲ: B5+2,4-D 3.0 mg/L+KIN 0.1 mg/L+Phe 0.1 mol/L was confirmed optimum callus induction medium in which callus induction rate had reached to 100%. In callus subculture medium, lower concentration of 2,4-D (0.5—3 mg/L) always increased callus growth, but higher concentration of 2,4-D (8 mg/L) reduced callus growth. When 2,4-D concentration was suitable, callus grown on B5 medium displayed lighter browning and faster tissue growth than that on MS medium. Further more, HPLC analysis confirmed that the paclitaxel yield in callus grown on medium MSⅢ was highest and had reached 0.004% of callus dry weight. In a general condition, the level of paclitaxel in calli derived from juvenile stems of wild maternal tree was higher than that in calli initiated from cultivated maternal tree's juvenile stems. Conclusion The optimization sequence of obtaining a large quantity and high-paclitaxe yield callus of T. chinensis var. mairei are dividing juvenile stem segments from wild maternal tree in May and culturing on medium Y5 or B5 Ⅲ for callus induction. After the calli having been subcultured on the same medium for 8—10 generations, one or two generations are recultured on medium MSⅢ. Finally, the calli with more paclitaxel are obtained by extracting paclitaxel out of it.
