Objective To study the exposure dose-effectiveness of ? irradiation on killing the plasmodium in the mice RBC,for the further exploration on the method that could kill the plasmodium in RBC without affecting the activity and function of normal RBC. Methods After infection with Plamodium yoelii (P.y),blood was collected from mice and exposed to ? irradiation (radiated group). An unirradiated group served as control. In the irradiated group,P.y infected blood was divided into three aliquots,each aliquot was irradiated one time by ? radiation using Gammacell 1000 Elite blood radiation apparatus. The dosage of each aliquot was 25,35 and 45Gy. After irradiation,the blood samples were stored at 4℃. Then mice were inoculated with these irradiated blood stored for 1,3 or 5 days after irradiation,or with unirradiated blood. Two days later,the blood samples were taken from inoculated mice and were examined under microscope and plasmodium infection rates were calculated. Results The mice in the control group had parasitemia much earlier than those in irradiated group (1—2 days),and the plasmodium infection rate in the control group was significantly higher than that in the irradiated group(3.7% vs 0.07%). With increasing dosage of irradiation,the survived plasmodium in blood decreased,and survival of mice increased(8—12 days). After 45 Gy irradiation and 5 day storage at 4℃,there were no plasmodium found in the red blood cell of inoculated mice. In the control group,blood testing result was positive,and all the mice died.Conclusion Plasmodium in mice RBC can be killed effectively when blood is exposed to 45Gy irradiation and stored at 4℃ for 5 days.

A new triterpenoid saponin and fourteen known triterpenoids were isolated from the methanol extract of the stems and leaves of Callicarpa integerrima Champ, which is used in Chinese folk medicine for stopping bleeding, expelling the wind, dissipating stagnation, and treating scrofula, by using various chromatographies, such as silica gel, Sephadex LH-20 and RP-C18 column chromatography.

The study is to develop an HPLC method for simultaneous determination of rhamnazin (1), rhamnocitrin (2), rhamnetin (3), rhamnazin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranoside (4), rhamnazin-3-O-beta-D-xylopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (5), rhamnazin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (6), and rhamnocitrin-3-O-beta-D-glucopyranosyl-(1-->4)-beta-D-glucopyranoside (7) in Nervilia fordii. The separation was performed on a Kromasil C18 column (250 mm x 4.6 mm, 5 microm) with 0.4% phosphoric acid-acetonitrile as the mobile phase in a gradient elution at a flow rate of 1.0 mL x min(-1). The detect wavelength was set at 256 nm, and the column temperature was set at 40 degrees C. There were good linear relationships between the logarithm values of concentrations and those of the peak areas of seven flavonoids (1-7) in the range of 0.55-70.00 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.9997), 0.86-110.00 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.9997), 0.39-50.00 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.999 7), 0.55-70.00 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.999 5), 1.33-170.00 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.9998), 1.33-170.00 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.9998), 0.16-20.00 microg x mL(-1) (r = 0.9995), respectively. The recoveries of the seven flavonoids were between 97.19%-99.45%, the relative standard deviations (RSDs) were between 0.91%-2.69%. The established method is rapid, accurate with high repeatability, which could provide scientific evidence for the quality control of Nervilia fordii.

The aim of this study is to investigate the protection effect of tanshinone IIA (Tan) against triptolide (TP)-induced liver injury and the mechanisms involved. Acute liver injury was induced by intraperitoneal injection of TP (1 mg x kg(-1)) in mice. The activities of AST, ALT and LDH in serum and the levels of GSH, GST, GSH-PX, SOD, CAT and MDA in liver tissue were detected. The histopathological changes of liver tissues were observed after HE staining. Nrf2 translocation in liver tissue was detected by Western blotting, and real-time PCR was used to measure the expression levels of GCLC, NQO1 and HO-1 mRNA. The results showed that pretreatment with Tan significantly prevented the TP induced liver injury as indicated by reducing the activities of AST, ALT and LDH (P < 0.01). Tan pretreatment also prevented TP-induced oxidative stress in the mice liver by inhibiting MDA and restoring the levels of GSH, GST, SOD and CAT (P < 0.05). Parallel to these changes, pretreatment with Tan could attenuate histopathologic changes induced by TP. Furthermore, the results indicated that Tan pretreatment caused nuclear accumulation of Nrf2 as well as induction of mRNA expression of antioxidant response element (ARE)-driven genes such as GCLC, NQO1 and HO-1. These results indicated that Tan could protect against TP-induced acute liver injury via the activation of Nrf2/ARE pathway.

The contents of investigation included life satisfaction, quality of life, anxiety and depression.Results The married group had significantly more satisfied with their life and less anxiety than the unmarried group. But there were no differences in evaluation of life quality and depression between two groups.Conclusion The marriage can improve the life satisfaction and psychological health of the SCI patients survived after Tangshan earthquake.

This experiment was carried out in young adult albino mice,which were injectedwith Ehrlich ascites tumor cells intraperitoneally to produce Ehrlich ascites tumor.The animals were divided into 2 groups.The first group received cAMP plusaminophylline for 5 to 13 days after inoculation.The second group received saline ascontrol.We found that in the administration of cAMP together with aminophylline,thegrowth of Ehrlich ascites tumor cells was inhibited to the extent of 53% at the 9thdays after inoculation.Early or later than the 9th day,the inhibitory rates were marklylower.By using cAMP immunocytochemical method,it was found that on the9th day of inoculation,there was an increase of the intensity of intracellualr cAMPspecific fluorescence in tumor cells of the cAMP treated mice in comparison withthose of the control.It also inhibited the 3',5'-cAMP-PDE activity on the 5th to 7thday after inoculation.Under the dark field microscope on the surface of the Ehrlich tumor cells therewere numerous“brush-like”microvilli,but they were not visible on the surfaceafter treated with cAMP together with aminophylline.The agglutination by theCon.A,was decreased markly on the 7th to 9th day after the inoculation.The possible relationship between the level of intracellular cAMP and of the3',5'-cAMP-PDE,and especially the inhibition of the formation of microvilli onthe treated tumor cell surface is discussed in this paper.

A method for simultaneous determination of 12 kinds of chlorinated disinfection byproducts (DBPs) in drinking water was developed based on liquid-liquid extraction gas chromatography equipped with electron capture detector (GC/ECD).The procedural standard calibration was adopted to eliminate the interference of different matrix.The method detection limits for 12 DBPs were 0.08-0.21 μg/L and the entire analytical procedure was finished in 21.50 min.The recoveries were in the range of 80.9%-115.7% and the relative standard deviations (RSD) were between 0.9% and 9.9% at different concentration levels (5 and 50 μg/L) in tap water and surface water.The correlation coefficients for all 12 kinds of DBPs were greater than 0.99 in the linearity range of 0.5-200 μg/L.The method was applied to determine DBPs in drinking water and source water.This method was rapid and competent for detection of volatile DBPs in drinking water.
