Using brartemicin as the leading compound, fifteen novel trehalose derivatives were designed and synthesized, and the structures were determined by 11H NMR, MS and element analysis. Inhibitory effects of the target compounds on the proliferation of A549, HepG2 and HUVEC cells were detectec by MTT assay. The abilities of adhesion, invasion and migration of A549 and HepG2 cells inhibited by the synthesized compounds were evaluated through Matrigel experiment and Transwell assay. The results showed that, the target compounds had no significant cytotoxicity (compared with the control, P>0.05) to A549, HepG2 and HUVEC cells at the dose range of 1-32 µmol.L-1. At the above dose range, the inhibitory effects of A549 cells adhesion, invasion and migration and HepG2 cells adhesion and invasion by compounds 79 and 82 are better than brartemicin.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the preventive use of antibacterials in patients undergoing cesarean section in our hospital.METHODS:A total of 360 medical records of patients undergoing cesarean section were randomly sampled in 2006(30 cases per month)for an analysis of the correlation between choice of antibacterials,combination rate and course of treatment etc and curative effects.RESULTS:Of the 360 cases,86.8% used second and third generation cephalosporins,6.3% fourth generation cephalosporin(cefepime),3.8% cephradine.CONCLUSION:No positive correlation was noted between choice of antibacterials and course of treatment and the curative effects in the prevention of postoperative infection.

Objective To compare the reliability of acute physiology and chronic health evaluation Ⅱ (APACHE Ⅱ) and APACHE Ⅲ to estimate mortality of critical patients in abdominal surgery. Methods Two hundred and sixty-one critical patients in abdominal surgery were included in this study. The clinical data of the first day in ICU were collected and evaluated with both APACHE Ⅱand APACHE Ⅲ prognostic systems and statistical analysis were performed. Probability of survival (Ps) was compared with actual mortality. Results The scores of APACHE Ⅱ and APACHE Ⅲ of death group were significantly higher than those of survival group respectively (P

Urethral stricture is one of the common complications after hypospadias repair,and it is related with the blood supply of materials used in urethra formation.The more severe and proximal hypospadias is,the higher possibility of stricture is.The patients with urethral stricture have the symptoms of stranguria and urinary retention,and they usually need re-surgery.The repair with well vascularized flap can decrease the occurrence of urethral stricture after hypospadias repair.

Objective The hippocampus has been used in Chinese medicine for a long time.Although it has the anti-decrepitude,anti-fatigue and anti-tumor effect,the molecular mechanism is not yet known.PI4-K,the first protein kinase in the PI pathway,should be the target molecular for drug screening.Methods We prepared antigen protein IOV-PI4-K through inside-out ghost,then the antibody-antigen reaction between IOV-PI4-K and its antibody A6D was tested by ELISA.Results Two different function groups,which could increase or decrease the binding affinity of PI4-K to its antibody,were screened out from the extracts of hippocampus.This fact indicated that there might be two different components to up-regulate or down-regulate the activity of PI4-K respectively.Conclusion Derivatives of the components could be developed into anti-tumor or anti-decrepitude drugs.Meanwhile,a new way for performing drug screen through ELISA was established.

[Summary] Cesarean section scar defect is one of the most common long-term complications after cesarean section .However the indications and efficacy judgment are not definite .The main managements include medical and surgical interventions .The drug generally used in medical management is oral contraceptives , and the surgical management includes vaginal repair of cesarean section scar defect and hysteroscopic or laparoscopic repair of the defect .To minimize the incidence of cesarean section scar defect , the surgical indications should be strictly followed and the operation should be carefully performed , including application of aseptic techniques , complete removal of decidua and placental tissues , effective hemostasis , and proper suturing .

Objective To investigate the therapeutic effects, duration of hematopeietic depression and side effects of FLAG regimen for refractory and relapsed acute myeloid leukemia(AML). Methods 13 cases for 5 days, and granulocyte colony stimulating factor G-CSF 300 μg/d from day 0 till neutruphil recovery (ANC≥1x109/L). 13 patients were 8 males and 5 females. The median age was 41.8 years(range 28-67). It includes 5 relapsed AML patients and 8 refractory AML patients. Results Of the 17 times, 11 showed response to therapy; the rate of complete remission was 35.3 %(6/17); the rate of partial remission was 29.4 % (5/17) and the overall response rate was 64.7 %. Main toxicities were gastrointestinal side effects, myelosupression and the function of liver was lightly damaged. Neutropenia at lowest number began at the time of 5-12 days after regimen initiating and last 7-34 days, thrombocytopenia began at the time of 5-13 days and last 8-30 days. Conclusion FLAG regimen showed obvious effects for refractory and relapsed AML Most patients gained chance for hematopoietic stem cell transplantation. Hemotological and nonhemotological toxicities are acceptable.
