Hereditary characteristics of enzyme deficiency and dermatoglyphics in congenital color blindness

The hereditary characteristics of enzyme deficiency and dermatoglyphics in congenital color blindness (CCB) were studied. We propose that there is a linkage between the two loci on the X-chromosome determining CCB and glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase (G6PD), based on our study of a high incidence of G6PD deficiency in 156 male cases with CCB. The CCB gene is closely linked with that of G6PD deficiency from our pedigree investigations. The rise in the frequency of eight or more whorls, the low value of atd angle and the presenting rate of real palmar patterns of the thenar, hypothenar and I, areas presented the hereditary traits of congenital color blindness.     

Clinical and experimental study of xiao er ke cuan ling oral liquid in the treatment of infantile bronchopneumonia]

Xiao Er Ke Chuan Ling Oral Liquid (KCL) is a Chinese herbal preparation consisted of 10 herbs such as Prunus armeniacae, Scutelaria baicalensis, Lonicera japonica etc. 30 children suffering from bronchopneumonia and/or acute bronchitis were treated with KCL (treated group) and another 30 cases were treated with penicillin and aminophylline (control group). Results: cure rate and effective rate in treated group was 26.6%, and 93.3% respectively. While in control group was 30% and 96.6% respectively. No significant differences were seen between them(P > 0.05). The pharmacodynamic experiment showed KCL had potent pharmacological action. The experiment on tracheal fragment of Guinea pig in vitro showed it caused moderately strong smooth muscle relaxation, through inhibition the effect of histamine and acetylcholine. Asthma induction experiment of Guinea pig in vivo showed KCL could significantly prolong the latent period of asthma and alleviate asthmatic symptom. Ammonium water cough induction experiment in mice showed it may apparently prolong cough latent period and reduce times of cough relapse and alleviate cough symptom. KCL had potent antipyretic effect on fever model induced by triple vaccine in rabbits. Bacteriostatic and antiviral experiment in vitro showed the drug had quite strong inhibitory effects for Streptococcus hemolyticus, Staphylococcus aureus, Flexners Dysentery bacillus, Diplococcus pneumoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and it could potently inhibit the respiratory syncytial virus. KCL is an effective drug in treating bronchopneumonia and acute bronchitis.     

An etiological study on fulminant viral hepatitis]

Viral markers were studied in 79 cases of viral hepatitis with hepatic failure. The results were shown as follows: 8 cases were positive for anti-HAV IgM (10.12%); 76 cases positive for HBsAg or anti-HBc IgM (96.20%) and 41 cases positive for anti-HCV antibodies (51.89%). Among those with anti-HCV positive, 35 cases were co-infected with HBV, 5 cases with HAV and/or HCV, only one was infected with HCV alone 2 cases were HD-Ag positive (2.52%) and one not identified (1.27%). With the reference of clinical findings, patients co-infected with HBV/HCV or anti-HBc IgM positive were more critical and usually entail higher mortality. In cases with HCV co-infections, the positive HBV replication markers seems to be reduced. Hepatic failure without HBV replicative markers had a high rate of hepatic coma as well as poor outcome.

目的：研究石杉碱甲对基底核大细胞部（ＮＢＭ）损毁诱导的工作记忆障碍的影响。方法：采用八臂迷宫延迟板程序研究空间记忆。胆碱乙酰转移酶（ＣｈＡＴ）活力测定采用［＾３Ｈ］乙酰辅酶Ａ转变成［＾３Ｈ］乙酰胆碱的方法。结果：单侧损毁ＮＢＭ（卡因酸０．０２μｍｏｌ）导致空间记忆障碍。在不同的延迟间隔，大鼠完成程序产生的正确数减少和错误数增多。损毁侧大脑皮层ＣｈＡＴ酶的含量下降了大约４０％。石杉碱甲（０．２ｍｇ·     

Structure and promoter organization of the human monoamine oxidase A and B genes.

Monoamine oxidase (MAO) A and B play an important role in regulating levels of biogenic amines. MAO A and B cDNAs have been cloned and the deduced amino acids share 73% sequence identity. The genes for MAOA and B are comprised of 15 exons interspersed by 14 introns, span at least 60 kb and exhibit identical exon-intron organization. These findings suggest that the MAOA and MAOB genes are derived from the duplication of a common ancestral gene. The core promoter region of MAOA is comprised of two 90 bp repeats, each of which contains two Spl elements and lacks a TATA box. The MAOB core promoter region contains two sets of overlapping Spl sites which flank a CACCC element all upstream of a TATA box. The different organization of the MAOA and MAOB promoters may underlie their different cell and tissue specific expression.     

Experimental study on relieving blood stasis of skin flaps using leeches

Isolated congested flaps in lower abdomen of rats were treated by application a method of sucking blood with medical leeches. The results were shown that survival rate of sucking blood group was 93.9%, non-sucking blood group was only 14.3% and small incision bleeding group in which incision was rinsed by Heparin-physiological saline was 25%. It has proved that this method has a very good effect on relieving blood stasis of tissue. We think that this method can be put to use clinically.
