Objective To find out the consumption situation of iodized salt in Baotou, identify problems and take appropriate intervention measures, and to provide scientific basis for further consolidating the results of control measures, strengthening and improving the sustainable elimination of iodine deficiency disorders. Methods Three batches of each quarter, 54 salt samples were sampled in Donghe wholesale division and Qingkun wholesale division in Baotou city salt company during 2008 - 2010; each place of Damaoqi, Baiyun district, and Qingshan district were divided into five sampling areas according to the direction of east, west, south, north, and central position, one school was selected in each district, 30 students aged 8 to 10 from each school were selected, and home salt samples were taken, and salt iodine was tested by direct titration(GB/T 13025.7-1999). Results Qualified rate of wholesale iodized salt was 100%(378/378) during 2008 - 2010, and mean salt iodine was 30.4 mg/kg;qualified rate of household iodized salt was 99.8%(2417/2421 ), and mean salt iodine was 30.4 mg/kg; iodized salt coverage rate was 99.6% (2421/2430) and consumption rate of qualified iodized salt was 99.4% (2417/2430).Conclusions Qualified rate of iodized salt, coverage rate of qualified iodized salt and consumption rate of qualified iodized salt are 90% or more, which has reached the standard of sustainable elimination of iodine deficiency disorders.

In this study, three methods for identification of E.coli were compared. The conventional method was employed to select and identify the suspicious E.coli isolates from a fecal sample. PCR based ARDRA analysis was then carried out to distinguish these E.coli isolates, E.coli MG1655 and other bacterial species. All the potential E.coli isolates and E.coli MG1655 had the identical ARDRA banding pattern while the other bacterial species showed the different patterns.The result indicated that the ARDRA analysis was consistent with the traditional method for identification of E.coli and could be the practical method for distinguishing E.coli from other intestinal bacterial species. The ERIC-PCR analysis provided abundant polymorphism between different E.coli isolates, and might be a powerful approach for elucidating the genetic diversity among isolates of the same species.

Objective To explore the role of intraleisonal pingyangmycin in the treatment of maxilla and facial vascular malformation.Methods A total of 160 cases with vein malformation were divided into two groups randomly,and were injected pinyangmycin and sod morrhuate,respectively.Results The size of the swelling reduced by 50% or more in 74 patients(92.5%) and by 75% or more in 64 patients(80%) in pinyangmycin group;the size of the swelling reduced by 50% or more in 50 patients(62.5%) and by 75% or more in 34 patients(42.5%) in sod morrhuate group;there was a significant difference in the two groups.Conclusion Intralesional injection of pinyangmycin is an easy,safe,and effective therapeutic method in venous malformation.

Producing cellulase conditions such as different temperature,inoculum size,liquid level and pH level by Trichoderma aureoviride in the shaking bottle were studied by orthogonal design method. The results showed that the main factor affecting the producing cellulase was temperature among the orthogonal conditions.The optimum conditions were as follows:cultivating solution initial pH was 6, cultivating temperature was 28℃,inoculation size was 8%,liquid level was 40 mL in 150 mL triangle bottle,rotation speed was 170 r/min.

Objective: To investigate the effect of RNA interference (RNAi) targeting AKT1 and PI3K P85 on the proliferation and invasion of breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells. Methods: The recombinant adenovirus expression vector, which contained short hairpin RNA (shRNA) targeting open reading frames of AKT1 and PI3K P85 (rAd5-siAKT1-siPI3K), was transfected into human breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells. AKT1 and PI3K P85 mRNA and protein expressions were detected by real-time PCR and Western blotting analysis. The expressions of PCNA, cyclinD1, and P53 were also detected by Western blotting analysis. The proliferation and apoptosis of MCF-7 cells were measured by MTT, flow cytometry and 2-dementinal and 3-dementional matrigel assay. Results: Recombinant adenovirus vector rAd5-siAKT1-siPI3K dramatically down-regulated AKT1 and PI3K P85 mRNA and protein expressions in MCF-7 cells; the downstream factors PCNA and cyclin D1 were also down-regulated, while P53 was up-regulated. Growth of MCF-7 cells was inhibited by over 50% in rAd5-siAKT1-siPI3K group as measured by MTT assay, and cell cycle was arrested in G_1/G_0 phase compared with untransfected and rAd5-siCtrl transfected groups. Cell growth on matrigel matrix showed normal cell shapes, while the cells in rAd5-siAKT1-siPI3K transfected group were detached from the matrix or grew in scattered clustering patterns, forming only small aggregates. Conclusion: shRNA targeting AKT1 and PI3K P85 can significantly down-regulate the expression of AKT1 and PI3K P85 in breast carcinoma MCF-7 cells, and inhibit the growth of MCF-7 cells in vitro.

Objective To analyze the relation between ~(99)Tc~m-DTPA renal dynamic imaging and pathological changes in patients with lupus nephritis (LN).Methods Ten normal control and 29 patients with LN underwent ~(99)Tc~m-DTPA renal dynamic imaging.The LN patients were divided into two groups:silent LN (SLN) group,18 patients;and obvious LN (OLN) group,11 patients.For each case,glomerular filtration rate (GFR),peak time (t_p),half excretion time (t_(1/2)) and the excretion rate at 20 min (R_(20)) were calculated.Assessment of renal function on the scintigraphic images was evaluated by nuclear medicine physicians.The t-test,Fisher'exact probability and R×C association were used for data analysis.Results There were significant differences between normal people and two goups of LN in tp(t=5.3,9.3,both P＜0.05),t_(1/2)(t=6.9,12.0,both P＜0.05)and R_(20)(t=10.1,12.1,both P＜0.05).As to GFR,there was significant decrease in OLN patients(t=4.1,P＜0.05),but not in SLN patients(t=1.7,P＞0.05).Diagnoses of renal function by renal dynamic imaging were compared with the renal pathological changes (r=0.2273,P＜0.05).Conclusions ~(99)Tc~m-DTPA renal dynamic imaging is useful for evaluation of the early stage renal function for LN patients and to diagnose LN patients with no symptom of renal impairment.It may help to assess the degree of renal parenchymal damage while obviating the need for renal biopsy in these patients.

Polysaccharide sulfate (PSS) is a new type of antiatherosclerotic medicine for its effects of anticoagulation, anti-thrombosis and modulation of dyslipidemia. However, it is still uncertain whether PSS could modulate the diabetic dyslipidemia or not. Here, the rat model of diabetic dyslipidemia was developed and the effects of PSS on glucose and lipid levels were investigated in this animal model. Wistar rats were iv injected with streptozotocin 20 mg x kg(-1) after feeding with high fat diet for one and a half month. Then, rats received orally PSS (30, 90, and 180 mg x kg(-1)) for 1 month. After oral treatment with PSS (90 and 180 mg x kg(-1)) for 1 month, the levels of triglyceride (TG), total cholesterol (TC), low density lipoprotein-cholesterol (LDL-C) were significantly reduced and the level of high density lipoprotein-cholesterol (HDL-C) increased, compared with diabetic control rats. Moreover, PSS (30, 90, and 180 mg x kg(-1)) had a tendency to reduce glucose and insulin levels, and significantly increased insulin sensitivity index. Our results suggest that PSS could improve insulin sensitivity and relieve dyslipidemia in diabetic dyslipidemic rats.

Objective：To study the clinical and pathologic features of patients with lupus nephritis (LN) whose myeloperoxidase anti-neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (MPO-ANCA) were positive. Methods：The clinical and pathological features were analyzed in 18 patients with LN whose MPO-ANCA were positive. And the data of patients with different clinical outcomes were compared. Results：（1）The hematological abnormalities, hypertension and serositis in these patients were more common than general ones with LN. （2）Proteinuria and hematuria were common, the morbidities of gross hematuria and renal failure in these patients were higher than general ones with LN.（3）Various autoantibodies were positive in these patients.（4）Segmental necrosis crescentic nephritis accompanied by density of immunocomplex in glomeruli and vasculitis in intestitium were common.（5）The morbidity of ESRF and mortality of these patients were similar to general ones with LN. The morbidity of tubular atrophy in those with poor prognosis was significantly higher than those survived. Conclusion：The patients with LN whose MPO-ANCA are positive have some difference from those with negative MPO-ANCA, but positive MPO-ANCA is not directly related to the prognosis.
