Chinese Journal of Biologicals 2024;37(2):209-214
Objective To develop a kinetic chromogenic quantitative method for the determination of endotoxin content in intermediate of pertussis antigen,and to verify the method so as to better control the quality of diphtheria,tetanus,and pertussis vaccine(DTP vaccine).Methods A kinetic chromogenic assay[Limulus Amebocyte Lysate(LAL)]was developed to detect the endotoxin content in the intermediate products of pertussis antigens after detoxification,and verified for the linearity,specificity,accuracy,reproducibility and intermediate precision. The quantitative detection results of kinetic chromogenic assay were compared with those of gel method.Results The absolute value of the linear correlation coefficient(|r|)of the kinetic chromogenic assay was more than 0. 99;under the maximum effective multiple dilution,the interference test recovery of the intermediate was within 50% — 200%,and pertussis toxin(PT)diluted to 10,100 and 1 000 times,filamentous hemagglutinin(FHA)diluted to 3 000,5 000 and 10 000 times,and pertussis adhesin(PRN)diluted to 50,75 and 100 times had no interference effect on the experiment after detoxification;the accuracy verification recovery rates of PT,FHA and PRN were 125%,110% and 99% respectively;and the CVs of reproducibility verification were 7. 21%,8. 31% and 5. 84%,and the CVs of intermediate precision verification were 6. 04%,16. 29% and 12. 23%,respectively.The bacterial endotoxin content of the three batches of pertussis antigen intermediates detected by kinetic chromogenic assay was consistent with that verified by gel method,both of which were less than the limit of bacterial endotoxin in the intermediates of pertussis antigen after detoxification.Conclusion The developed kinetic chromogenic assay has good linearity,specificity,accuracy and precision with accurate detection results,which can be used to detect the endotoxin content in intermediate products of component pertussis antigen after detoxification.
2.Nuclear factor kappa B and diabetic retinopathy
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2004;0(01):-
Diabetic retinopathy is a highly specific vascular complication of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes.NF-?B can be triggered by oxidative stress and controls several programs of gene expression,the majority of which participate in the host inflammation and immune response.Evidence has accumulated that NF-?B is involved in the development of diabetic retinopathy.NF-?B activation induced by diabetes is associated with the apoptosis found in the pericyte,leukocyte-endothelial interaction,capillary basement membrane thickening,neovascularization and formation of epiretinal membranes.Inhibition of(NF-?B) activation has been suggested as a treatment strategy in diabetic retinopathy.
3.Resistant starch and metabolic syndrome
Parenteral & Enteral Nutrition 1997;0(04):-
Resistant starch is not absorbed in the small intestine.But it can be fermented in the large bowel.Recent studies have confirmed the ability of resistant starch to decrease postprandial blood glucose levels,decrease serum cholesterol and triglyeride levels,and enhance the sensitivity of insulin.As such,resistant starch contributes to preventing and treating metabolic syndrome.
4.AN EXPERIMENTAL STUDY OF LIVINGBCG'S EFFECT ON THE KILLING AND DIGESTIVE ABILITIES OF RABBIT ALVEOLAR MACROPHAGE LYSOSOME TO LIVING-YEAST
Acta Anatomica Sinica 1953;0(01):-
By means of the observation of acridine orange-stained lysosomes with fluorescence microscope, we studied the intracellular killing and digestive process after alveolar macrophage (AM) ingested living-yeast. Based on the morphological changes of the cells, we divided the process into three stages: the pre-phagosome-lysosome fusion stage, the phagosome-lysosome fusion and killing stage, and the digestive stage. The results revealed that all the values of phagocytic index, phagocytic rate, fusion index and fusion rate of the isolated AM of rabbits infected with living-BCG were higher than those of normal rabbits (P
5.Subcutaneous insulin resistance: a new type of insulin resistance
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(10):-
Subcutaneous insulin resistance is a condition in which glucose is insensitive to insulin from the subcutaneous tissue,but sensitive to that by intravenous injection.The mechanism of subcutaneous insulin resistance is mainly associated with skin obstruction or delayed entry of insulin into blood circulation.The treatment of the problem involves Aprotinin,anticoagulant and intramuscular injection of insulin.This paper offers an overview of the advances in the researches of subcutaneous insulin resistance.
6.Characterization of malignant thyroid nodules:Pathological analysis of 600 cases
Journal of Medical Postgraduates 2003;0(10):-
Objective: Thyroid nodules are common clinical thyroid disorders.The purpose of this study was to investigate the diagnostic value of the clinical characteristics and various parameters of malignant thyroid nodules and the sensitive indexes for their differentiation so as to improve the diagnosis of malignant thyroid nodules and avoid unnecessary procedures or operations.Methods: We retrospectively studied 600 cases of thyroid nodules treated by surgery from 2001 to 2008,divided them into a benign and a malignant group according to the pathological results,and analyzed by multivariate logistic regression the correlation between the nature of thyroid nodules and various factors.Results: Of the 600 cases of thyroid nodules,519(83.47%) were benign and 81(16.53%) were malignant.Clinical symptoms and signs,ultrasonography and CT were all useful in indicating malignancy,especially ultrasonography,whose specificity and diagnostic accuracy were 93.3% and 84.2%,respectively.Multivariate logistic regression analysis revealed a higher rate of malignancy in younger patients with solid or hard nodules,or accompanied with calcification or painless adenophyma in the neck.Conclusion: Clinical symptoms and signs,ultrosonography and CT are of significant value in the diagnosis of malignant thyroid nodules.
7.Investigation on Indoor Air Pollution in Newly Decorated Houses in Jiaozuo City
Journal of Environment and Health 2007;0(09):-
Objective To know the indoor air pollution status in the newly decorated residential houses in Jiaozuo and to study the effect of decoration materials on the pollution. Methods To monitor formaldehyde, ammonia and benzene levels in the indoor air of 39 newly decorated rooms in Jiaozuo. Results The exceed standard rates of formaldehyde, ammonia and benzene in the indoor air were 73.6%, 84.7% and 25.8% respectively. Exceed standard rate of formaldehyde in the room which held the new furniture was the highest, 88.8%. Conclusion Decoration may cause indoor air pollution, the most part of the pollutants are formaldehyde and benzene. The level of the pollution depends on the different usages of the rooms.
8.Prevention and management of chylous fistula after neck dissection
Cancer Research and Clinic 1997;0(03):-
Objective To explore the occurrence and prevention and the principle of management of chylous fistula after neck dissection. Methods Retrospective research on 1750 cases of neck dissection in Henan Tumor Hospital from January 1983 to January 2005. There were 48 cases chylous fistula and 1 case chylothorax. The incidence was 2.8 %. 5 cases on the right, 44 cases on the left. 18 cases had completed radiotherapy or chemotherapy before operation. Conservative methods and surgical methods were used in the treatment. Low fat food was supplied to the patients with chylous fistula. The conservative methods was local pressure, the surgical methods was applied while maximal production of chylous exceeding 500 ml a day. Results All the patients were cured finally. The conservative method was 12.6(5~34) days, the surgical method 7.5(3~10)day. Conclusion The key to prevent chylous fistula was to band the rupture of thoracis or lymphatic duct during operation. The conservative methods could be used in patients with slight and middle chylous, when the chylous exceed 500 ml a day or the conservative methods was unavailable, the surgical methods was appropriate, it could shorten the time of tube draw.

Chinese Journal of Anesthesiology 1995;0(12):-
Forty rats were randomly divided into four groups and intraperitoneal injection of 1%lidocaine 400mg/kg (group Ⅰ)、1%lidocaine-?-cyclodextrin 400mg/kg (group Ⅱ)、1%alkalinized lidocaine 400mg/kg(group Ⅰ)and 1% alkalinized lidocaine-?-cyclodextrin 400mg/kg(group Ⅳ) respectively. The results showed that there was a significant difference of lethal time between group Ⅰ and Ⅱ, and no significant difference between gronp Ⅲ and Ⅳ; the times of toxic and lethal effects of group Ⅲ and Ⅳ were shortened markedly as compared to group Ⅰ and Ⅱ. It is concluded that ?-cyclodextrin can postpone the release and absorbance of lidocaine,and alkalizer can weaken this action of ?—cyclodextrin.
