1. Emprovement of Rhodiola rosea on intestinal immune function of Drosophila melanogaster
Chinese Traditional and Herbal Drugs 2014;45(5):691-694
Objective: To study the effect of Rhodiola rosea extracts on intestinal immune function of Drosophila melanogaster. Methods: D. melanogaster was treated by SDS and fungal biological solution with or without R. rosea extracts, and the effect of R. rosea extracts on the survival rate of D. melanogaster, intestinal epithelium cell death, relative contents of reactive oxygen species (ROS) in intestinal epithelium cells, and intestinal morphology changes were analyzed. Results: R. rosea extracts could significantly improve the survival rate of SDS and fungus (Beauveria bassiana)-infected D. melanogaster (P < 0.05), reduce the intestinal epithelial cell death and the level of intestinal ROS levels, and protect and maintain the intestinal morphology. Conclusion: R. rosea extracts could significantly improve the intestinal immune function of D. melanogaster with the amelioration and protection of intestinal immunologic function injury induced by fungi and SDS.

Objective To study the effect of time and temperature on the count of peripheral blood cells in newborns.Methods The peripheral blood of 100 cases of newborns who were admitted in the First Affiliated Hospital of Hebei North University from January 2016 to June 2016 were collected,and measured with Sysmex XS-500i automatic blood cell analyzer immediately,then were split into two parts and stored at 4 ℃ and room temperature respectively.The measurement was repeated in 24 and 48 h,and the groups were compared on WBC,RBC,PLT,HGB,IG% and IG#.Results There were statistically significant differences between the instantly measuring result and those in 24 and 48 h under room temperature (P<0.05).In case of 4 ℃,the instantly measuring result had no obvious difference with that in 24 h (P>0.05),while statistical difference with that in 48 h (P<0.05).Conclusion Newborns' peripheral blood can be stored at 4 ℃C,and the counting results will not be affected for WBC,RBC,PLT,HGB,IG% and IG# within 24 h.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the application and therapeutic effect of modified neurovascular flaps nourished by sural nerve and small saphenous venous, or saphenous nerve and great saphenous venous.
METHODSAccording to the anatomy and recipient area, we made some modifications for the two neurovascular flaps. 1) The small and great saphenous venous were ligated or anastomosed with the venous in recipient area; 2) The flap was delayed for 8 - 14 days if the donor area was above the middle and upper one third of leg; 3) The sural nerve and its branch were anastomosed to the nerve in recipient site to restore the sense of flap; 4) the lower turning point could be designed just 3 cm above the point of internal and external malleolus; 5) Partial gastrocnemius or soleus muscle could be included in the flap if needed; 6) Reversed cross leg flap was considered if the adjacent flap in the affected side could not be used. Sometimes, we adopted more than one modification in one patients.
RESULTSFrom Sep, 1994 to Apr, 2007, 63 cases were treated, including 51 cases of sural and 12 cases of saphenous neurovascular flaps. Partial necrosis (about 1 - 2 cm width) happened in the distal end of flaps in 2 cases which healed after dress changing. The patients were followed up for 3 months to 2 years with satisfied functional and cosmetic results.
CONCLUSIONSThese two modified flaps have reliable blood supply and survival rate. The operation is easily performed and very practical. The flaps, or combined with other methods can repair about 70% of the refractory defects in legs.
