Objective To investigate the effect of EGB on SOD, MDA of ventilator-induced lung injury in rats and its possible mechanisms. Methods Thirty male SD rats were randomly divided into 3 groups: control group (C group), high tidal ventilation group (H group) and EGB group (E group). The setting mechanical ventilation was VT=30 mL/kg, RR=40/min, I/E=1/3, PEEP=0 cmH2 O and FiO2=21%. The broncho-alveolar lavage fluid (BLAF) and serum were obtained for determination of the levels of SOD and MDA at the end of 4 h mechanical ventilation. The Lungs were removed, and the wet-to-dry weight ratio (W/D) and pulmonary pathologic changes were measured. Results As compared with C group, W/D and the levels of MDA were significantly increased in H group, but the levels of SOD were reduced in H group. As compared with H group, W/D and the levels of MDA were significantly decreased in E group, but the levels of SOD were increased in E group. Pulmonary pathologic changes were alleviated in E group comparing with H group. Conclusion EGB injection may have a protective role against hyperoxia and induced pulmonary damage in rats.

Obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) is a chronic,disabling,mental disorder,which has been linked to significant abnormalities in certain brain areas,including the orbital frontal cortex and the anterior cingulate cortex.Neuroimaging studies have also shown that brain areas related to the decision-making function include the orbital frontal cortex and the dorsal prefrontal lobes.Furthermore,the association between OCD and decision-making function has been consistently demonstrated from a neurobiological perspective.Clinically,impaired decision-making ability is commonly observed in OCD patients,and there is a correlation between OCD and abnormal decision function.Decision-making tasks are typically divided into two types,decision-making under risk and decision-making under ambiguity,with the former commonly evaluated using the Iowa Gambling Task (IGT) and the latter using the Game of Dice Task (GDT).In this article the neural mechanism and evaluation methods of decision making in OCD were reviewed.

OBJECTIVE To investigate antibiotic resistance and the prevalence of serotype of Streptococcus pneumoniae in Wuhan.METHODS Totally 152 strains of S.pneumoniae were collected to test the MICs of various antibiotics by agar dilution method according to the approved standard of NCCLS.Serotyping of S.pneumoniae was performed by using quelling reaction.RESULTS Among 152 strains of S.pneumoniae,65(42.76%) strains were resistant to penicillin(MIC≥0.12mg/L).94.08%,50.66%,41.45% and 11.18% of S.pneumoniae were resistant against the first(cefalexin),second(cefaclor) and third(cefaxime and ceftriaxone) generation of cephalosporins respectively.The resistance rates to other antibiotic agents,such as erythromycin,tetracycline,trimethoprim/sulfamethoxazole and chloramphenicol,were 84.21%,88.82%,89.47% and 18.42%,respectively.Strains that were resistant to levofloxacin and moxifloxacin were found both for 1.32%.Twenty serotypes were involved in 152 strains. The prevalent serotypes were 19(25.66%),23(19.08%),6(13.82%),15(7.24%)and 14(4.61%).Eight strains were remained for unable to serotype.All penicillin-resistant S.pneumoniae was included in serotypes 6,19 and 23.CONCLUSIONS The antibiotic resistance of S.pneumoniae is serious in Wuhan.Most of them are multi-resistant strains.Except for fluoroquinolones,ceftriaxone and chloramphenicol, most antibiotic agents have lost there activities against S.pneumoniae.The prevalent serotypes,especially of the multi-resistant strains,were 19,23 and 6.Pneumococcal polyvalent vaccine can well cover these serotypes.

Objective:In the present study,Bac-to-Bac baculovirus expression system was used to obtain recombinant human Cosmc extracellular domain protein,which can lay the foundation for the research about the structure and function of Cosmc protein in vitro,and simultaneously provide ideas for the research of O-glycosylation and related diseases. Methods: The Cosmc extracellular domain ( Cosmc-ED) gene was cloned into a transfer vector pFastBac1 to form the recombinant donor plasmid pFastBac1-Cosmc ED, which was transformed into competent cells DH10Bac. By using blue-white selection and PCR analysis,we could obtain recombinant shuttle vector rBacmid-Cosmc ED. Then, the recombinant gene DNA of rBacmid-Cosmc ED was used to transfect Sf-9 mediated by cationic lipid formulation,and the recombinant baculovirus bacmid was obtained,which was further used to infect the serum-free cell Sf-9 to express Cosmc-ED in the supernatant. Then the protein of interest was detected by SDS-PAGE and Western blot and purified with Ni-NTA affinity column. Results:SDS-PAGE and Western blot analysis showed a specific band about 33 kD,consistent with the interest protein. Mass spectrometry results further prove that the protein was Cosmc extracellular domain protein. Conclusion: Human Cosmc-ED protein can be successfully expressed in Sf-9 insect cells and laid basis for subsequent studies.

Objective To explore the diagnostic value of prothrombin time(PT),activated partial thromboplastin time(APTT),fibrinogen(FIB),D-Dimer(DD),antithrombin Ⅲ(ATⅢ),platelet(PLT)in activity and severity assessment of ulcerative colitis(UC),and to analyze whether they could evaluate the degree of activity UC in children.Methods The data of UC patients in the Department of Gastroenterology,Children's Hospital of Nanjing Medical University from January 2012 to September 2016 were analyzed,25 cases of remission and 36 cases of active UC patients were selected as the study subjects.Thirty healthy children were selected as healthy control group,combined with the coagulation function indicators for analysis.Results Receiver operating characteristic area under the curve(AUC)of PT,APTT,FIB,DD,ATⅢ and PLT in UC patients was 0.659,0.840,0.744,0.776,0.599 and 0.792,the activity of UC patients was 0.849,0.889,0.836,0.912,0.964 and 0.966,respectively.The results of PT,APTT,FIB,DD and PLT in children with active UC were significantly higher than those in the healthy control group,and ATⅢ was significantly lower than that in the healthy control group.Compared with the healthy controls,the levels in remission UC patients were not significantly different(P>0.05).The 3 subgroups of activity UC had no significant differences among PT and APTT(F=0.652,1.755,all P>0.05),However,there were significant differences among FIB,DD,ATⅢ and PLT(F=66.495,32.817,88.284,22.892,all P<0.05).FIB,DD and PLT were moderately positively correlated with severity of activity UC patients(r=0.857,0.648,0.654,all P<0.05),and ATⅢ had moderately negative correlation(r=-0.789,P<0.05).Progressive regression analysis showed that the severity of UC was associated with FIB,DD and ATⅢ(R2=0.830,F=39.962,P<0.05).Conclusion FIB,DD and ATⅢ can be used as index for the activity and evaluation of UC.
