Objective To study the protective effect of estrogen on cerebral ischemia reperfusion injury in rat Methods 120 adult female rats were randomly divided into the intact, ovariectomized(OVX),OVX and estrogen(E 2) replacement groups In the OVX+E 2 group, E 2 valerate(200 ?g/kg) was subcutaneousely injected once a week after the OVX Four weeks after the OVX, all rats were subjected to model of ischemia reperfusion by MCAO Infarct volumes were measured.Pathological changes and apoptosis was detected, and serum estrogen concentration was analyzed Results For different time of ischemia reperfusion,cerebral infarct volume in the OVX+E 2 group was minimal,and in the OVX group was maximal(all P

Objectve To explore the application of exercise test use in diagnosis of periodic paraly sis.Methods Forty five cases of hypokalemic periodic paralysis were collected,and 40 health persons as control group.Both groups were measured serum potassium,serum creatase and thyroid function tests.All of them were taken exercise test (ET) and observe 50 minutes,measured before and after the test to seek the changes of compound muscle action potentials (CMAP),and its decreased more than 33％ were considered abnormal.The application of exercise test use was analyzed in diagnosis of periodic paralysis.Results In patients with periodic paralysis,the incidence of ET positive was higher than the control subjects (80％ vs 3.3％,P ＜ 0.001).This trend was significant after 20 minutes,such as 30 min[(37.8 ± 13.2)％ vs (6.2±3.2)％,P＜0.01],40min [(40.3 ±17.6)％ vs (3.2±1.9)％,P＜0.01],50min [(45.26 ± 19.9) ％ vs (-5.1 ± 2.6) ％,P ＜ 0.01].Moreover,linear correlation analysis showed that the serum potassium had negative correlation with serum creatase (r =-0.483,P =0.024).ALL of symptoms improved after a week treatment,the ET positive rate was still higher in patients with periodic paralysis than the control subjects (80.0％ vs 71.1％,P =0.824).Conclusions Exercise test was one of the important objective basis in the diagnosis of low potassium type periodic paralysis,and was not affected by treatment and testing time.

In this paper, we expatiate the advance of Tricholoma matsutake including distributing, environment, pure culture, domesticating cultivation and artificial forcing breeding in the area of Changbai Mountain of China.

Comparative analysis of characteristic of species and esterase-isoenzyme of isolates of Polyporus umbel-latus from different regions were processed. The results indicated that isolates of Jizhaoling ( Z) and Zhushiling (ZJ) have significant differences in characteristic, and enzymatic band types of the two species also have significant differences. The homology at genetics between the two isolates is 0% , and consanguinity between the two i-solates is the farthest.

A separation technology of catalpol from Rehmannia with macroporpus adsorbent resins was investigated. The content of catalpol in the extract was determined by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Nine different kinds of macroporous adsorbent resins were studied on the static capacity of adsorption and desorption, and D101 resin was best for the separation of the extraction solution of Rehmannia. The results showed that D101 resin had the highest static adsorption capacity of 69.2mg/g dry resin and its isotherm curve can be well described by Langmuir and Freudlich equation. The 5% ethanol elution on removal of the solvent under reduced pressure provided a brown powder, which was subjected to an open column chromatography on silica gel eluted with a CHCl3–MeOH gradient. The fraction eluted with CHCl3-MeOH (8∶2) was identified as catalpol and the purity of the compound was more than 90% purity by HPLC analysis. The yield of this separation technology was 6%.

In 3,9,15 mmol/L NaAsO2, apoptotic rate of p53 group, mRNA expression of bcl-2, protein expression of bcl-2 was higher than that ofnormal group and PC group, respectively (all P < 0.05), but mRNA expression of Bax, protein expression of Bax was respeetivelylower than that normal group and the PC group(P < 0.05 ). Conclusion p53 gene reduced the apoptosis induced by NaAsO2 in HELF, possibly by changing the apoptosis pathway.

Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV) has caused outbreaks of SARS-like disease with 35% case-fatality rate, mainly in the Middle East. A more severe outbreak of MERS occurred recently in the Republic of Korea, where 186 people contracted the infections, causing great concern worldwide. So far, there has been no clinically available drug for the treatment of MERS-CoV infection. The potential drugs against MERS-CoV mainly consist of monoclonal antibodies, peptides and small molecular agents. Small molecular agents have an advantage of easier synthesis, lower cost in production and relatively higher stability. There is better chance for those candidates to gain a quick development. This article reviews the progress of developing small molecular MERS-CoV agents.
