To investigate the mechanism of lead biosorption and biotransformation in lead-resistant bacteria in microcosmic scale, synchrotron radiation micro X-ray fluorescence (μ-SRXRF ) and X-ray absorption near edge structure ( XANES) was used to determine the element distribution characteristics and speciation of lead ( Pb) in lead-resistant bacteria strain isolated from farmland soil samples taken from a lead-zinc mine in Lanping county, Yunnan province in China. The isolated species was identified to be Arthrobacter sp. The concentration of Pb biosorpted in lead-resistant bacteria was directly determined byμ-SRXRF, and the results showed that the highest concentration was 5925μg/g and the bioaccumulate factor was 14 . 8 . Speciation of Pb in lead-resistant bacteria B2, LB ( Lysogeny Broth) medium and soil were also presented after using Pb LⅢXANES. Compared with Pb LⅢ XANES peak shape and peak position between standard samples, it was demonstrated that the Pb in lead-resistant bacteria was mainly formed by amorphous forms like PbS (58. 0%), (C17H35COO)2Pb (22. 2%), Pb5(PO4)3Cl (19. 8%) rather than organic Pb speciation which was exist in LB medium. Therefore, the isolated lead-resistant bacteria could biotransform Pb to sulfuric compounds. The biotransformation regular could be of great interest for other investigators as reference in study of bioavailability impact factor of heavy metals.

Objective To observe and analyze the four changes of plasma D- dimer and coagulation in pregnant women at different stages of pregnancy, and to explore the value of the test. Methods The subjects of this study were 120 pregnant women who underwent routine physical examination in our hospital, according to different stages of pregnancy (early pregnancy, middle pregnancy, late pregnancy, and before delivery) Four D- dimer and four blood coagulation tests were performed in pregnant women, and the results were observed and compared. Results During the pregnancy, D- dimer has increase trend (P<0.05); early in pregnancy, pregnancy and late pregnancy, PT has shortened(P<0.05); pregnancy, APTT has shortened (P<0.05), at the end of pregnancy and parturient period, showing a significant shortening (P<0.05); phenomenon in early pregnancy to mid pregnancy stage, FIB increased significantly (P<0.05), and at the end of pregnancy to perinatal period, with a sharp increase (P<0.05). Conclusion It is of great significance to perform dynamic monitoring of of plasma D- dimer and coagulation four indices in pregnant women during pregnancy.

Intracerebral vessels from 10 hemispheres of children were perfused with ABS and observed under the 6212-Ⅲ surgical microscope and TSM-Ⅰ scanning electron microscope.1. The arterial network of the pia mater shows irregular anastomoses. Many terminal branches in the meshwork do not form anastomosis but perforate into the brain tissue at right angle. Most of the points where the arteries perforate are longit udinally arranged along the gyri.2. The venous network of the pia mater usually lies deeper than the arteries and becomes superficial to the latter after joining together to form larger vessels.3. The cortical arteries have an average diameter of 44.3?m. They are densely distributed like hairs of a brush.4. The tributaries of the cortical veins join to form larger veins assuming the shape of an inverted fir tree.5. The medullary arteries are different in length and in diameter. The diameter averages 158.2?m. The arteries perforating through the top of the gyrus are straight but those from the sulcus bend to a certain degree after they pass through the cortex. Branches from the middle segments come out vertically and form "T"-shape branches. The deep segments send out branches like the roots of a tree and form widespread anastomoses with the central arteries. Wavy, tortuous medullary arteries can be also found. The casts of these arteries were observed under the SEM.The medullary veins and central arteries have been studied and described microanatomically.

0.05)in cell volume between the experimental group and control group after exposured in hypertonic NaCl saline for 15 minutes. Compared with the control level,after 60 minutes and 1 day all astrocytes shrunk significantly, (P0.05). Conclusion:Astrocytes can restore their cell volume following exposition in hypertonic saline.

0.05). The cell volume of astrocytes was not significantly changed after exposition to hypertonic-hyperoncotic solution for 15 minutes. After 60 minutes all astrocytes shrunk significantly until 1 day later. 7 days later,their volumes restored to the value in control group. Conclusion: The hippocampal neuroncs have not the autoregulative ability of the cellular volume. but astrocytes have after exposition to hypertonic-hyperoncotic solution for 15 min: the volume of both cells 7 days later can restore to the previous value.

Chinese medicine (CM) develops with the survival, reproduction, growth, and progressing of the Chinese nation. Scientific technologies not only promote continual progressing of human societies, but also provide new ideas and methods for the development of CM. In recent years, great changes have taken place in CM complying with developing modern scientific technologies, mainly manifested in the depth of CM theories at molecular levels, the combination of syndrome differentiation and disease identification, continuous innovation and development of clinical diagnosis and treatment techniques, diversified dosages of Chinese materia medica, the academic tendency of education patterns, occupational refinement, diversified medical practice modes, and so on.

Intracortical distribution of arteries were studied on thick sections prepared from brains of 11 newborns after injection and fixation. The results are as follows.1. Branches from the cerebral arteries form a pial arterial network on the cortical surface. The larger pial arteries are supplied with vasa-vasorum and perivascular vessels. They send out cortical and medullary arteries penetrating the cortex vertically from the surface.2. The distribution of arteries in the entire cortical area can be represented by the pattern observed in a single gyrus, which serves as a general rule. The cortical arteries arising from the pial arteries penetrate into the cortex vertically and are arranged regularly which appear as a brush border that curves with the cerebral surface in sections. The diameter of the long cortical arteries is 16～31 ?m, while that of the short ones is 7.5～15.4 ?m. All these arteries send out branches at right angles which anastomose with one another to form a dense polygonal or irregular vascular network.The medullary arteries pass directly through the cortex into medulla. The diameter of the long medullary arteries is 48～61 ?m and that of the short ones, 35～47 ?m. Those entering from the top of each gyrus pass directly to the deep medulla, whereas those from the sulcus to the junction between the cortex and medulla exhibit various degrees of curvature. The medullary arteries send out branches at right angle, which, in turn, form T-shaped bifurcations, interconnecting each other in an oblong lattice framework.3. The central arteries penetrate the base of the brain, fan out and arch upward to reach the corpus striatum. Arteries may penetrate into the thalamus from posteriolateral, inferio-medial or superior surface. They branch with acute angles and form dense network with polygonal, triangular, circular and irregular interspaces. The arteries of the internal capsule also branch at right angles, show "T" bifurcations after a short distance and form an oblong vascular network.
