The optimum medium for Lactobacillus M7 was systematically studied with SAS system. Firstly, the prime factors affecting lactic acid yield were selected by means of Plackett-Burman design; secondly, the pnme facias were optimized by response rurface analysis. Under the optimum level determined, the yield is increased by 15%.

Objective To investigate the changes in systemic and pulmonary hemodynamics in patients with liver cirrhosis and portopulmonary hypertension(PPH)during liver transplantation.Methods Eight patients with liver cirrhosis and PPH(5 male,3 female)aged 50-63 yr weighing 45-80 kg were included in PPH group. Another 8 liver-cirrhotic patients without PPH served as control group.The patients were premedicated with intramuscular phenobarbital 0.1 g and atropine 0.5 mg.Anesthesia was induced with midazolam 3-5 mg,fentanyl 0.15-0.2 mg,propefol 1 mg?kg~(-1) and vecuronium 0.1 mg?kg~(-1) and maintained with 0.5%-3% isoflurane inhalation and intermittent Ⅳ boluses of fentanyl and vecuronium.The patients were mechanically ventilated after tracheal intubation.P_(ET)CO_2 was maintained at 30-45 mm Hg.Right subclavian vein was cannulated for fluid and drug administration and blood transfusion.Radial artery was cannulated for BP monitoring.Swan-Ganz catheter was placed via right internal jugular vein.BP,CVP,MPAP,PAWP,CI,PVRI and SVRI were monitored and recorded before operation(baseline),during preanhepatic phase,at 3 and 30 min of anhepatic phase and 3,7, 15,60 min of neohepatic phase and at the end of operation.Results(1)The two groups were comparable with respect to fluid balance,the amount of vasoactive drugs used during anhepatic and neohepatic phase,duration of anhepatic phase and operation.(2)MPAP and PVRI were significantly higher before operation in PPH group than in control group.(3)CI,MPAP, PAWP and CVP were siguificanfly decreased during anhepatic phase as compared to the baseline values(before operation)in both groups and then gradually returned to and even exceeded the baseline values during neohepatic phase.(4)During neohepatic phase PVRI in PPH group was significantly increased as compared to the baseline value and was significantly higher than that in control group.Conclusion MPAP and PVRI are significantly increased during neohepatic phase in patients with PPH and need to be treated.

To construct a rabies virus mutant, the psi region was replaced by the coding region of human cytochrome c gene, and the coding region for cytoplasmic domain of glycoprotein G was deleted in the full-length of genomic cDNA of rabies virus strain SRV9. The mutant plasmid and the plasmids with N, P, L and G structural proteins of wild type SRV9 were co-transfected into BHK-21 cells. It was shown by IFA that there were many specific fluorescence in the BHK-21 cells, and typical rabies virus virions were observed by electronic microscope. These results demonstrated that the mutant rabies virus was successfully rescued. The genetically modified SRV9 stain has promise to provide invaluable experimental tool to develop attenuated live rabies vaccine.

Based on data related to human brucellosis which was collected from the national notifiable infectious disease reporting system in the 6 provinces(Inner Mongolia,Shanxi,Heilongjiang,Shaanxi,Jilin and Liaoning)of north China from 2004 to 2007,at the county scale.Data would include age and gender standardized mortality ratios(SMRs)while ESDA was including histograms,box plots and box maps,global and local Moran' s I statistics,etc.The global Moran' s I values from 2004 to 2007 were 0.2581,0.4574,0.4457,0.4841,respectively and all with statistically significant differences.Most of local Moran' s I values were significant positive statistically.High-high counties were mainly in the northeast,most of which were pastoral areas,but the farming-pastoral areas and agricultural areas/town had an increasing trend over time.Low-low counties were mainly in the western and southern areas and most of which were agricultural areas/towns.Low-high counties appeared to be rare,mainly around the counties with high incidence,mainly belonged to agricultural areas/towns.The incidence rates of brucellosis in the six provinces of north China had a trend of increase from 2004 to 2007,namely spreading from east to west,from south to north,and from pastoral areas to farming-pastoral areas and agricultural areas/towns.ESDA could be used to develop effective measures for prevention and control of brucellosis.

ISG15 is a 15kD ubiquitin-like protein (UBL) induced by interferon (IFN). ISG15 can be covalently attached to proteins, which is called ISGylation process. ISGylation system contains ISG15, UBE1L, UBCH8 and HERC5 proteins, which are all essential for ISGylation. ISG15 and ISGylation system have been found to have anti-viral effects. A better understanding of how ISG15 mediates the anti-viral activity will provide insights for new anti-viral drugs development and new therapeutic strategies. The mechanisms underlying the ISG15 mediated anti-viral response have been explored extensively in recent years. This minireview summarized the research advances of how ISG15 mediated the anti-viral effects against different kinds of viruses.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the proper anticoagulation intensity in patients after mechanical heart valve replacement in china.
METHODSThe anticoagulation therapy intensity and the complications in 480 patients after mechanical heart valve replacement were studied.
RESULTSThe follow-up rate was 89.17%, the total patient-years (Pty) was 2,110.04 years, the mean oral import warfarin dosage was (2.81 +/- 0.95) mg/day, and native warfarin dosage (2.38 +/- 0.46) mg/day. The mean PTR value of 2 116 samples was 1.43 +/- 0.26, and the INR value of 1 195 samples was 1.63 +/- 0.49. The total hemorrhage rate was 4.60% Pty, and the hemorrhage death rate was 0.38% Pty. The PTR and INR values were higher in the hemorrhage group than in the no-hemorrhage group. (t = 1.816, P < 0.05; t = 2.407, P < 0.01). The thromboembolism rate was 0.66% Pty, and the thromboembolism death rate was 0.05% Pty. There were 15 pregnancies in 14 women patients and no malformed newborns were found.
CONCLUSIONSThe most important complication of anticoagulation therapy after mechanical heart valve replacement is hemorrhage in china; The proper anticoagulation intensities of this group are INR 1.5-2.0 and PTR 1.3-1.5. It is beneficial to adopt the low intensity anticoagulation therapy for decreasing the death rate from hemorrhage, protecting pregnant women and newborns from hemorrhage and malformation, and improving the life qualities of the patients.

OBJECTIVETo investigate the effect of moxibustion at Sanyinjiao (SP 6) for uterine contraction pain in labor, and evaluate the safety of the parturient and newborn.
METHODSOne hundred and seventy-four cases of singleton pregnancy and cephalic presentation primipara were single blinded and randomly divided into three groups: observation group (59 cases), placebo treated group (57 cases) and blank group (58 cases). The observation group was treated with moxibustion at Sanyinjiao (SP 6) for 30 min when the uterus cervix openning at 3 cm, the placebo treated group was treated with moxibustion at no acupoint for 30 min and the blank group was treated with routine labor nursing, the uterine contraction pain and the safety of the mother and infant were compared among three groups.
RESULTS1) The uterine contraction pain was tested by Visual Analogue Scale (VAS): the scores of VAS in the observation group were obviously decreased after 15 min and 30 min of moxibustion (both P<0.05), there were no obvious changes of the VAS scores in placebo treated group and the blank group, the scores of VAS in observation group decreased much more obviously than those in the other two groups (all P<0.05); 2) Midwife rating of the uterine contraction pain: after 30 min of moxibustion, the effective rate of labor analgesia was 69.5% (41/59) in observation group, which was higher than that of 45.6% (26/57) in placebo treated group and 43.1% (25/58) in blank group, with significant differences between them (both P<0.05); 3) The postpartum hemorrhage amount of the observation group was obviously lower than those of placebo treated group and blank group (both P<0.05); 4) The Apgar score of newborn was higher in observation group and placebo treated group than that of blank group (both P<0.05).
CONCLUSIONMoxibustion at Sanyinjiao (SP 6) can relieve the uterine contraction pain, and has no side effect to mother and infant, it is one of the safe, effective and simple non-drug analgesia methods.
