[Observation on therapeutic effect of abdominal cluster-needling on chronic non-bacterial prostatitis].

Objective: To observe clinical therapeutic effect of abdominal cluster-needling on chronic non-bacterial prostatitis and to probe into indications of abdominal cluster-needling.

Methods: Eighty-seven cases of chronic nonbacterial prostatitis were randomly divided into an abdominal cluster-needling group (n=44) and a western medicine group (n=43). The abdominal cluster-needling group were treated mainly with abdominal cluster-needling at the 9 stimulating points, i.

Taxane's substituents at C3' affect its regioselective metabolism: different in vitro metabolism of cephalomannine and paclitaxel.

To investigate how taxane's substituents at C3' affect its metabolism, we compared the metabolism of cephalomannine and paclitaxel, a pair of analogs that differ slightly at the C3' position. After cephalomannine was incubated with human liver microsomes in an NADPH-generating system, two monohydroxylated metabolites (M1 and M2) were detected by liquid chromatography/tandem mass spectrometry. C4'' (M1) and C6alpha (M2) were proposed as the possible hydroxylation sites, and the structure of M1 was confirmed by (1)H NMR.

[Purification of ammonia-type eutrophic waterbody in surface flow constructed wetland at a low temperature].

Denitrification in three floating-plant systems, including two subspecies of hyacinth and duckweed, and foamy board system were investigated by batch cultivation at a low water temperature of 6.8 degrees C to 7.2 deggres C.

[Inhibition of A549 cells by polybutylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles loaded with antisense oligodeoxynucleotide of hTERT mRNA].

Aim: To investigate the effect of nanoparticles for antisense oligodeoxynucleotide (ASODN) of hTERT mRNA on A549 cells.

Methods: The cationic polybutylcyanoacrylate nanoparticles (NPs) were prepared by an emulsion polymerization process in the presence of DEAE-dextran. Antisense oligodeoxynucleotides were loaded on the particles by adsorption.

Correlation of CD95 and soluble CD95 expression with acute rejection status of liver transplantation.

Aim: To analyze the expression levels of soluble form of CD95, CD95 ligand (sCD95 and sCD95L, respectively) in plasma and CD95 expression on CD3+ cells in liver-transplanted recipients with acute rejection (AR).

Methods: Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) were isolated from 30 clinically liver transplanted recipients. CD95 expression on CD3+ cells was quantitatively measured by two-color fluorescence activated cell sorter (FACS) analysis.

[Nitric oxide alleviates growth inhibition of maize seedlings under NaCl stress].

The effect of nitric oxide (NO) on growth of maize seedlings under 100 mmol/L NaCl stress was studied. The results showed that 0.1-200 mumol/L sodium nitroprusside (SNP), especially 100 mumol/L SNP, increased dry accumulation in maize seedlings significantly, the chlorophyll content, K(+)/Na(+) ratio and (Spd+Spm)/Put ratio, and decreased electrolyte leakage.

Relationship between AtPase activity and conjugated polyamines in mitochondrial membrane from wheat seedling roots under osmotic stress.

The effects of osmotic stress on the ATPase activity, the contents of -SH group and conjugated polyamines in mitochondrial membrane from wheat seedling [Triticum aestivum L. cv. Yumai No.
