The localization of some enzyme in adult worms of Clonorchis sinensis was studied by histochemical method in this paper. Acid phosphatase was detectcd mainly in digestive duct, subtegument and tne walls of testis, uterus and ovary; acetylcholinestcrase was found in oral sucker, ventral sucker, pharynx; and ATPase was found to exist in oral sucker, ventral sucker, pharynx and musclxe layer in the subtegument. The eggs of C. sinensis possessed the above three enzymes (Figs.l-5).

International Eye Science 2014;(12):2182-2184
Traumatic optic nerve injury ( TON) is caused by direct or indirect optic nerve trauma, which is one of a serious complication of craniocerebral trauma. lts prognosis poor and usually bring permanent vision damage. At present, optic nerve injury and regeneration is hot in neurobiology research. To build an ideal experimental animal model is extremely important in research and development in the treatment of optic nerve injury. ln this article, we review the methods of making rat models of traumatic optic neuropathy, clinical similarities, advantages and disadvantages of among these models, to provide reference for more experimental study.

Objective Porphyromonas gingivalis(Pg)is one of the main putative pathogens of periodontal disease,espcially of adult periodontitis. This in vitro study was aimed at observing the inhibition actions of 3 kinds of antimicrobial drugs on Pg. Methods 106 stains of Pg were isolated from subgingival plaques with adult periodontitis. The agar diffusion test was used to detect the inhibition actions of metronidazole,clindamycin and tinidazole on 106 stains of Pg. Results Their MIC was respectively:0. 25mg/L,0. 6rng/L. The MIC90 of tinidazole<MIC90 of clindamycin. The results showed:all of metroidazole, tinidazole and clindamycin can be used effectively against Pg,clindarnycin and tinidazole showed more potent antibacterial activity than metronidazole. The different concentration of Pg-liquid (l05 CFU/ml, 106 CFU/ml and 108 CFU/ml) had not influenced the results. Couclusion This study is significant to antibiotical therapy of periodontal diseases.

AIM: To investigate the angiogenesis effect and protective mechanism of cordycepin on rhesus macaque choroid- retinal endothelial ( RF/ 6A) cell line cultured in high glucose condition.
METHODS: Cultured RF/ 6A cells were divided into normal control group, high glucose group and high glucose (HG) + different concentration cordycepin groups (HG+ 10μ g/ mL group, HG+ 50μ g/ mL group, HG+ 100μ g/mL group). The cell proliferation was assessed using cholecystokinin octapeptide dye after treated for 48h. The cell migration was investigated by a Transwell assay. The tube formation was measured on Matrigel. Furthermore, the impact of cordycepin on high glucose - induced activation of VEGF and VEGF receptor 2 (VEGFR-2) was tested by Western blot analysis.
RESULTS: Compared with normal control group, cell viability markedly increased in high glucose group ( P <0. 05). Cordycepin inhibited RF/ 6A cell proliferation in a dose- dependent fashion: 10. 2 ± 0. 9%, 23. 4 ± 1. 5% and 31. 1±1. 2% inhibition as the concentrations of cordycepin were 10, 50 and 100μ g/ mL, respectively. The difference had statistically significant (P<0. 05) compared with high glucose group. The number of cell migration were 55. 6±2. 70, 87. 4 ± 2. 40, 65. 4 ± 2. 7, 57. 8 ± 2. 38, 62. 4 ± 2. 77 in normal control group, high glucose group and HG+10μ g/mL group, HG + 50μ g/ mL group, HG + 100μ g/ mL group respectively. Migration of RF/ 6A conspicuously increased in high glucose group ( P < 0. 05) compared with normal control group; while showing a gradually reducing trend with the increase of cordycepin dose and a statistically significant difference compared with high glucose group (P<0. 05). The number of tube formation were 18. 7±2. 08, 25. 7 ± 1. 52, 19. 9 ± 1. 57, 16. 3 ± 2. 51, 5. 67 ± 1. 72 in the abovementioned group. Similarly showing a gradually reducing trend with the increase of cordycepin dose and a statistically significant difference with high glucose group (P< 0. 05). In addition, the number of tube formation of RF/ 6A in high glucose group significant increased compared with normal control group ( P < 0. 05 ). The expression of VEGF and VEGFR-2 dramaticlly increased in high glucose group vs normal control group, oppositely gradually decreased with the increase of cordycepin concentrations, and had a statistically significant difference vs high glucose group (P<0. 05).
CONCLUSION: Cordycepin can suppress the proliferation, migration and tubu formation of RF/ 6A in high glucose condition, might via inhibiting expression of VEGF and VEGFR-2.

Objective:To investigate the therapeutic efficacy of immunotherapy with dendritic cells-based vaccine against intracranial gliomas in rats.Methods:C6 glioma cells were injected into the brain of Wistar rat under stereotactic monitor to establish an animal model of glioma.The precursors of dendritic cells were isolated from bone marrow of rats,stimulated in vitro with recombinant rat granulocyte-macrophage colony-stimulating factor(rrGM-CSF)and interleukin-4(rrIL-4).Cultured cell populations were confirmed to be functional DCs.These DCs were then pulsed ex vivo with C6 tumor-lysates prepared by three cycles of freezing to -80℃ and thawing to 0℃ and subsequently injected subcutaneously into rats harboring intracranial C6 tumor.Rats from different group were treated with five weekly subcutaneous injections of either control media,unpulsed DCs,or DCs pulsed with tumor-lysates.The animals were followed for survival,the percentage of CD8 +T cells in peripheral blood and cytotoxicity assay in vitro were determined by FACS.The level of cytokine IFN-? and IL-10 were detected by ELISA.Results:The results indicated that C6 glioma model rats treated with tumor-lysate-pulsed DCs led to prolonged survival time,increased the percentage of CD8 + T lymphocyte in peripheral blood in comparing with control group.Cytotoxicity assays suggest that vaccination with these tumor-lysate-pulsed DCs can induce specific cytotoxic T lymphocytes against C6 tumor cells compared with control group.Furthermore,significantly enhanced IFN-? and reduced IL-10 (even undetectable)were observed in rats treated with pulsed-DCs.Conclusion:Data supported the therapeutic efficacy of systemic vaccination with DCs pulsed with tumor-lysates against intracranial glioma.

Objective To evaluate the nutritional status of iodine of pregnant and lactating women in coastal and inland areas of Zhejiang province,and to provide scientific basis for iodine supplementation.Methods In 2009,five coastal cities,five coastal counties and three inland areas from Zhejiang province were selected by the cluster sampling method,and one sub-district(township) was randomly selected in each city (county),then one community (village) was randomly selected in each sub-district (township).Thirty pregnant women,thirty lactating women and fifty children aged 8 - 10,were randomly selected in each community(village) as the investigation objects to collect instant urine samples to detect urine iodine,and to collect thirty resident edible salt and some water samples to detect salt iodine and water iodine,if the numbers of water source were more than 5 then 1 water sample was collected by their location of east,south,west,north and center in each community(village),otherwise,the numbers of water samples collected were equal to the number of community (village).Results The medians of salt iodine of coastal city,coastal county and inland area were 28.42,25.29,and 33.24 mg/kg,respectively,and the medians of water iodine correspondingly were 5.41,11.52,and 2.80 μg/L,respectively.The medians of urinary iodine of pregnant and lactating women in Zhejiang province were 148.72 and 161.34 μg/L,respectively,which were less than that of children aged 8 - 10(231.02 μg/L,Z =8.57,8.24,all P < 0.017).The medians of urinary iodine in pregnant women from different areas were ranked in order as inland areas(211.42 μg/L),coastal counties (150.51 μg/L) and coastal cities (123.33 μg/L,Z =2.80,5.31,2.42,all P < 0.017),and in lactating women,the medians of urinary iodine in inland areas( 197.43 μg/L) was higher than that in coastal cities( 139.64 μg/L,Z =4.03,P < 0.017).Conclusions The overall levels of iodine nutrition in lactating and pregnant women in Zhejiang province are in the appropriate level,but that of the pregnant women in the coastal cities is inadequate.
