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.

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.

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

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.

There have appeared many new insulin analogues in recently years. Two of them are rapid-acting insulin analogues(aspart,lispro).The regions between the insulin analog molecules were modified,which have shorter time than regular human insulin in onset of action,peak,duration of acting,and are better in decreasing postprandial glucose and opportunity of hypoglycemia before next meal.The another insulin analogues were galargine and detemir.They were obtained from changing insulin isoelectric point and increasing molecular weight,which lengthen time for disintegration,absorption and action and have little absorption variation and no overt peak.They can simulate physiological base insulin excretion.
