Objective To study the chemical constituents of Ophiorrhiza rosea.Methods The chemical constituents in O.rosea were extracted with 90% methanol,isolated and purified by column chromatography on silica gel,alumina gel,MCI gel,and macroporous resin adsorption.All the compounds were identified based on spectral analyses(MS,1H-NMR,and 13C-NMR).Results Eleven compounds were isolated from O.rosea.They were characterized as Harman(Ⅰ),2-hydroxy-3-hydroxymethylanthraquinone(Ⅱ),1hydroxy-2-hydroxymethylanthraquinone-3-O-?-D-glucoside(Ⅲ),1-hydroxy-2-hydroxymethylanthraquinone-3-O-?-D-primeveroside(Ⅳ),ursolic acid(Ⅴ),3?,19,24trihydroxy-12-ursen-28-oic acid(Ⅵ),19,23-dihydroxy-3-oxo-12-ursen28-oic acid(Ⅶ),3?,24-dihydroxy-12-oleanen-28-oic acid(Ⅷ),3,20-epoxy-3?,16-dihydroxy-15-oxo-7-pimaren-19,6-olide(Ⅸ),?-stigmasterol-3-O-?-D-glucoside(Ⅹ),and ?-sitosterol(Ⅺ).Conclusion This is the first report on the chemical constituents of O.rosea to find that it contains plentiful alkaloid Harman,multiform of triterpenes and anthraquinones.

Objective To evaluate the effect of surgical treatment for primary hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC) with bile duct thrombi(BDT).Methods Eleven cases were diagnosed as HCC with BDT by B ultrasound,CT,MRCP or ERCP.Hepatectomy and choledochotomy were performed,resecting the primary tumor and cleaning the BDT completely,followed with TACE.Results No patients died during operation.The survival time of 9 patients who received hepatectomy and BDT clearance ranged from 3 to 38(average 18.5) months,and that of the other two patients received TACE and BDT clearance survived 6 and 11 months respectively.Conclusion Accurate diagnosis and radical hepatectomy with complete BDT clearance are effective treatment for HCC with BDT.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder(ADHD)is a common childhood behavioral disorder,and it is characte-rized by the core symptoms of attention deficit,hyperactivity and impulsivity.In recent years,a variety of neuropsychological deficits related to ADHD have been confirmed,including intelligence,attention and inhibition,verbal and spatial working memory,set shift,planning and monitoring.Some important theories related to the metal mechanism of ADHD have been put forward,and the representatives include behavioral inhibition theory,cognitive-energetic model,dual pathway theory and state regulation theory.

OBJECTIVE: To investigate the expression of adaptin-2(AP-2) in mice cochlea and to discuss the probable role in the endocytosis of hair cells. METHOD: Laser scanning confocal microscopy and immune-fluroscence histochemistry were performed in this study. RESULT: In mature mice cochlea, the immunoreactivity for AP-2 was found in the inner hair cells cytoplasm. This protein mainly expressed in the hair cells basal part and nearby the ribbon synapse. CONCLUSION AP-2 protein mainly expressed in the hair cells synaptic activity zone , which suggested that AP-2 could play an important role in the synaptic vesicle endocytosis. This finding built the foundation for the further research involved in the physiological and pathological role of AP-2.

Objective To evaluate the clinical value of fiberoptic ductoscopy in diagnosis and treatment of patients with galactophoritis or mammary duct ectasia. Methods From November 2005 to March 2008, fiberoptic ductoscopy were performed in 120 women with nipple discharge. The duct of 95 cases as non-malignant lesion were insufflated and perfusioned with entamycin and dexamethasone. Results Ninty-five of 120 cases were non-malignant disease,which contained one side 81 and two sides 14; the discharge was bloody,ivory, stramineous in 21, 17, 57 patinents, respectively; and the dignosis were 17 mammary duct ectasia, 53 galactophoritis, and 25 mammary duct ectasia with galactophoritis. Of the 95 cases, hich were intradutal insufflated and perfusioned with gentamycin and dexamethasone, the nipple discharge were decreased or disappeared in 81 cases, the effective rate was 85.3%. Conclusion Fiberoptic ductoscopy is a convenient,safe, accurate method in diagnosis and treatment of patients with galactophoritis or mammary duct ectasia.

As one of the major sources of infection, viruses could infect all organisms including bacteria, plants, animals, and humans. Infectious diseases caused by viruses pose a great threat and damage to human health and economic activities all over the world. Adaptor-associated protein kinase 1 (AAK1) is a member of the Ark1/Prk1 family of serine/threonine kinases and a specific key kinase regulating the phosphorylation of AP-2 protein μ2 subunit T156. In the past, AAK1 has been regarded as a feasible biological target for the treatment of nerve pain. Recently, scientists have found that inhibiting AAK1 can regulate endocytosis and inhibit virus invasion into cells. Therefore, AAK1 could be the potential target of anti-virus therapy. This paper reviews the research progress of small molecule AAK1 inhibitors in the field of antiviral, analyzes the future research directions and challenges, and provides new ideas for the development of antiviral drugs targeting AAK1.

Objective To evaluate the effect of military performance stress on the changes of concentrations in salivary chromogranin A ( CgA) ,β-endorphin (β-EP) and salivary IgA ( sIgA) of submariners.Methods Twenty-nine submarine soldiers were selected, and their saliva samples were collected separately at the end of a long dive trip and nine months after relaxation ashore.In addition,the saliva samples of twenty-eight graduate students were collected as the normal control.The method of ELISA was used to detect the level of salivary CgA,β-EP and sIgA.Results After long-term dive training, the submariners showed significantly decreased CgA,β-EP and sIgA.Conclusion After a long term dive trip, chronic military performance stress is associated with the decline of salivary CgA,β-EP and sIgA, indicating that the function of sympathet-ic adrenal medulla is suppressed.The biological significance of these changes needs to be assessed in the future.

Objective To investigate the expression of adaptin-2(AP-2) in different stages of mouse coch‐lea and its probable role in the auditory generation and formation .Methods Mice were divided into 4 experimental groups by age (7 days old ,15 days old ,35 days old ,16 months old) ,which respectively represented the newborn mice ,developmental mice ,mature mice and old mice .Auditory brainstem response (ABR) ,laser scanning confocal microscopy (LSCM) ,immune-fluroscence histochemistry and qRT - PCR were used in this study .Results For the 15 days old ,35 days old ,16 months old groups ,ABR average threshold was 18 .67 ± 1 .21 dB nHL ,13 .83 ± 1 .47 dB nHL ,37 .83 ± 7 .68 dB nHL ,respectively ,for the 7 days old groups no responses were observed .The AP-2 im‐munoreactivity was found in all the stages of mice cochlea inner hair cell (IHC) cytoplasm ,especially in IHC basal part ,nearby the ribbon synapse .For the 7 days old ,15 days old ,35 days old ,16 months old groups ,immune-flu‐roscence histochemistry IMV(intensity mean value)were 190 .91 ± 17 .27 ,494 .06 ± 27 .63 ,838 .41 ± 38 .23 ,682 .65 ± 72 .22 ,respectively .For the 7 days old ,15 days old ,35 days old ,16 months old groups ,mRNA RQ(relative quantity)were 0 .53 ± 0 .09 ,1 .03 ± 0 .02 ,1 .00 ± 0 .09 ,1 .03 ± 0 .06 ,respectively .Developmental mice expressed significantly higher than those of the newborn in the AP -2 protein expression level which was measured by immuno -fluores‐cence histochemistry and qRT PCR(P<0 .01) .There was no significant difference between old and mature mice in the AP-2 protein expression level measured by qRT PCR (P> 0 .05) ,but mature mice had significant advantages by immuno-fluorescence histochemistry .Conclusion AP-2 protein expression level may closely related to the au‐ditory formation and maintenance because its expression gradually increases with age in mice .
