Objective To explore the pharmacological action of Bazheng mixture(BM) on infections disease of urinary system and effects of BM on immune function in mice.Methods After E.coli was injected into bladder of mice, the kidneys were examined for the anti-infection action of BM on ascending infection;and the effects of BM on immune function of mice were tested.Results BM ig remarkably decreased the percentage of kedney's infections area caused by ascending infection of E.coli [ED_(50) was(11.01?1.63)g/kg and the 95% CL was (9.50-12.76)(g/kg]);BM was also found effective in increasing the rate of carbon particle clearance and the index of carbon particle clearance,but BM had no significant effects on body fluid immunity and cell immunity in test for mice.Conclusion The mechanism of BM in treating infections disease of urinary system are mainly associated with the increasing rate of carbon particle clearance,and with bacteria clearance in urinary system.

The main antibiotics used in our hospital during 2011-2014 were as fol-lows:the amount of piperacillin/tazobactam(2.25 g/a)were 4 685,12 610,13 639 and 14 542,respectively;that of cefepime (0.5 g/a)were 8 613,24 738,12 684 and 6 751,respectively;that of aztreonam(0.5 g/a)were 14 124,32 062,3 323 and 4 534,respectively;that of meropenem(0.5 g/a)were 2 291,5 436,6 813 and 5 341,repectively;that of levofloxacin(0.3 g/a) were 12 253,40 893,48 468 and 50 558,respectively. CONCLUSIONS:With the increase of antibiotics,susceptibility rate of main pathogen are gradually decreased;rational use of antibiotics plays an important role in decreasing the drug resistance.

BACKGROUND:Copper-titanium aloy has been fabricated in previous studies to improve the antibacterial property and biocompatibility of titanium materials. OBJECTIVE:With reference to the principle and experimental method specified by GB/T16886-ISO10993, to fuly and systematicaly assess the biocompatibility of copper-titanium aloy. METHODS:Based on the pre-experimental results, titanium aloy containing 10% copper was selected and subjected to oral mucosa stimulation experiment, skin stimulation test, acute systemic toxicity test, hemolytic test, prothrombin time test and dynamic coagulation test for biocompatibility evaluation. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:The copper-titanium aloy has no oral mucous membrane irritation, no short-term systemic toxicity, no skin sensitization, and no hemolysis, indicating it has a good biocompatibility.

The authors designed to separate, purify and determine the monosaccharide composition of the polysaccharide from Cordyceps militaris, and study its effect on reverse cholesterol transport in vivo by isotope tracing assay. Polysaccharides were separate and purify by ion exchange column Q-sepharose Fast Flow and size exclusion column Sephacryl S200HR; the molecular weight and monosaccharide composition of the polysaccharides were determined by high performance gel permeation chromatography and high performance liquid chromatography coming with pre-column derivation, respectively. Finally, three purified polysaccharides CMBW1, CMBW2 and CMYW1 were obtained, their total carbohydrate contents were 87%, 89%, 95%, respectively; their protein contents were 6.5%, 1.3%, 2.8%, respectively; their molecular weights were 772.1, 20.9, 13.2 kDa, respectively; CMBW1 was composed of mannose, glucosamine, rhamnose, glucuronic acid, glucose, galactose and arabinose with a molar ratio of 7.25: 0.17: 1.29: 0.23: 6.30: 11.08: 0.79; CMBW2 was composed of mannose, glucosamine, galactose and arabinose with a molar ratio of 2.40: 0.16: 2.92: 0.24; CMYW1 was composed of mannose, glucosamine, glucuronic acid and glucose with a molar ratio of 0.59: 0.57: 0.45: 25.61. Polysaccharide at 50 mg x kg(-1) could significantly improve the transport of 3H- cholesterol to blood and excretion from feces. All of the three purified polysaccharides CMBW1, CMBW2 and CMYW1 were heteropolysaccharide; and they could improve reverse cholesterol transport in vivo, the underlying mechanisms are being studied.

Objective To study the normal angiographic anatomy and variations of rabbit hepatic vessels,and explore the optimal method for hepatic artery catheterization.Methods 30 rabbits were divided into two groups randomly.Modified surgical method and interventional method were used to catheterize hepatic artery respectively,and followed by angiography to demonstrate the normal anatomy and variations of rabbit celiac artery,hepatic artery and portal vein.Results The route and distribution of rabbit celiac artery and hepatic artery were very different from human's.The commonly seen variation showed the differences in branching bifurcation of hepatic-gastric artery,with the incidence of 13.3%.The rates of successfully hepatic artery catheterization with surgical and interventional methods were 86.6%(13/15)and 80%(12/15)respectively (P＞0.05).The surgical method will not be successful,whenever there's variation.Conclusion The normal anatomy and variation of rabbit celiac artery and hepatic artery are quite different from human's.Both surgical and interventional catheterizations could be rather successful but possessing advantages and disadvantages of each its own.

A anaerobic hydrogen-producing strain HR-1 was isolated from compost. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA sequence similarity indicates that strain HR-1 is the closest relative to Clostridium ace- tobutylicum ATCC 824, with the similarity of 96%. Biological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis of 16S rRNA gene indicate that HR-1 is a new species named Clostridium sp. HR-1. Cells are Gram-positive, mobile rod-shaped. Spores and flagellums were no observed. Temperature range for growth is 10?C to 45?C (optimum temperature 37?C~39?C), and range pH for growth is 4.0 to 10.0 (optimum pH 7.5~8.0).
