Objective To evaluate the effect of Chinese herbal medicine immunomodulator on T lymphocyte immune function in peripheral blood and intestinal mucosa of immature rats with obstructive jaundice. Methods Three-weeks Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups. (n= 12, in each): normal control group, sham operation group, obstructive jaundice (OJ) group, OJ + Chinese herbal medicine immunomodulator (OJ+ZY) group. Except for the normal control group, the others' bile duct stones were ligatured to establish rat models with obstructive jaundice. The percentage of CD4+ and CD8+ tlymphocytes and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ in peripheral blood and intestinal mucosa of immature rats was detected by flow cytometry. Results The percentage of CD4+ cell [(36.2 ±4.2)%, (28.8±1.8)% respectively] and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ [(1.14±0.39), (1.37±0.34)respectively] in OJ group were lower than those in normal control group [peripheral blood: CD4+(41.5±5.3)%,CD4+/CD8+(1.37±0.19); intestinal mucosa: CD4+(32.3± 2.4)%, CD4+/CD8+ (1.84+0.28) and sham operation group (peripheral blood: CD4+ (41.2±5.5)%, CD4+/CD8+ (1.45±0.27); intestinal mucosa: CD4+(31.5 ± 2.7)%, CD4+/CD8+ (1.63±0.58)] . The difference was statistical significant(P<0.05). The percentage of CD4+ cell [(42.7±6.3)%, (33.6±2.4)% respectively] and the ratio of CD4+/CD8+ [(1.56±0.46), (1.84±0.56)respectively] in OJ+ZY group, were higher than those in OJ group(P<0.05). The difference was statistical significant(P<0.05). Conclusion Chinese herbal medicine immunomodulator can increase T lymphocyte immune function in immature rats with obstructive jaundice, but has no significance in normal control group as well as sham operation group.

Objective To evaluate the quality and application value of improved sheep blood chocolate medium.Methods The ATCC 10211 of Haemophilus influenzae was inoculated into the modified medium and unmodified medium,the average growth index(GI)of Haemophilus influenzae in two kinds of culture medium was compared.Based on 352 selected qualified sputum specimens for detection of Haemophilus influenzae,the positive isolation rate of medium was compared between the two groups.Results GI value of the traditional blood chocolate culture medium was (3.69 ±0.58),which was significantly lower than (15.08 ±1.34)of the improved sheep blood chocolate culture medium,the difference was significant (t =25.31,P <0.01 ).352 sputum specimens in the improved sheep blood chocolate culture medium,Haemophilus influenzae detected in 41 cases,the positive rate was 11.65%.And 352 sputum specimens in traditional sheep blood chocolate culture,Haemophilus influenzae detected in 18 cases,the positive rate was 5.54%.There was significant differenceof Haemophilus influenzae in separation based on 2 kinds of chocolate culture medium (χ2 =21.04,P <0.05).Conclusion Haemophilus influenzae significantly improved sheep blood colony in chocolate culture medium,grows well,easily to be identified,which helps to detect sputum specimens of Haemophilus influenzae.

Objective To evaluate the effect of Astragalus on T lymphocyte immune function in peripheral blood and intestinal mucosa of immature rats with obstructive jaundice. Methods Three-week-old Wistar rats were randomly divided into four groups(n=12,in each):control group, sham operation group, obstructive jaundice(OJ)group,OJ+Astragalus (OJ+A)group.The percentage of CD4 and CD8 T lymphocytes, the ratio of CD4 to CD8 in peripheral blood and intestinal mucosa of immature rats was detected by flow cytometry. Result The percentage of CD4+ cell and the ratio of CD4 to CD8 in the OJ group were lower than those in the control group and the sham operation group,with significant difference(P<0.05).The percentage of CD4 cell and the ratio of CD4 to CD8 in the OJ+A group were higher than those in the OJ group(P<0.05).Conclusion Astragalus can increase T lymphocyte immune function in OJ immature rats.

Using the cyclodextrin bonded polysiloxane (bikis〔(2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-hex-6-O-enyl)-pentakis(2,6-di-O-pentyl-3-O-methyl)-β-cyclodextrm-polysiloxane〕) as gas chromatographic stationary phase, α-hydroxy acetones were separated and the values of the enantiomeric excess(e.e) of 3-hydroxy-2-butanone were determined. The results showed that the high resolution gas chromatography (HRGC) using the chiral gas chromatographic stationary phase could determine the productive rate of the asymmetric hydrogenaton reaction and evaluate the enantoselectivity of the catalyst system.

Objective:To compare clinical characteristics,treatment patterns and physiological indicators in bipolar disorder(BD)patients with different age of onset.Methods:Totally 380 patients with DSM-5 BD were se-lected in this study.Psychiatrists diagnosed the patients using the Mini International Neuropsychiatric Interview.The clinical information questionnaire and the Global Assessment of Functioning scale were utilized to collected clinical characteristics,treatment status,and physiological indicators.The onset age of BD was divided into 21 and 35 years as cut-off points.Multivariate logistic regression and linear regression were used to analyze related factors.Results:Among the 380 patients with BD,199 cases were early-onset group(52.4%),121 cases were middle-onset group(31.8%),and 60 cases were late-onset group(15.8%).There were 26.6%of patients in the early-onset group in-itially diagnosed as depression,23.1%in the middle-onset group,and 11.7%in the late-onset group.Multivariate analysis revealed that compared to the early-onset group of BD,the middle-onset(OR=2.22)and late-onset(OR=4.99)groups had more risk to experience depressive episodes,and the late-onset group(OR=6.74)had 6.74 times of risk to suffer from bipolar Ⅱ disorder.Additionally,patients in the middle-onset(β=-1.52)and late-on-set(β=-4.29)groups had shorter durations of delayed treatment,and those in the middle-onset(β=-1.62)and late-onset(β=-3.14)groups had fewer hospitalizations.Uric acid levels were lower in both the middle-onset(β=-28.39)and late-onset(β=-31.47)groups,and total cholesterol level was lower in the middle-onset group(β=-0.23).Conclusion:Patients with BD in different age of onset show significant differences in clinical charac-teristics,treatment conditions and physiological indicators.
