Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of free peroneal artery perforator flaps in repairing forefoot skin and soft tissue defect wounds assisted with three-dimensional computed tomography angiography (3D-CTA). Methods: A retrospective observational study was conducted. From March 2017 to September 2019, 15 patients with skin and soft tissue defect wounds in the forefoot were treated in the Department of Burn and Plastic Surgery of Yidu Central Hospital of Weifang, including 12 males and 3 females, with age of 18-60 years. The wound area on admission was 3.0 cm×3.0 cm-9.0 cm×8.0 cm. The 3D-CTA examination before operation was performed to select the peroneal artery perforating vessels with appropriate length of vascular pedicle and good blood perfusion. According to the wound area and the perforating vessels of the peroneal artery located by 3D-CTA, the peroneal artery perforator flaps of 3.5 cm×3.5 cm-9.5 cm×8.5 cm carried with lateral sural cutaneous nerve was designed and cut, and the nerve was anastomosed with the nerve of the wound. The wound in the donor site of the flap was directly sutured or covered with medium-thickness skin graft from the thigh. The consistencies of type, diameter, and perforating position of perforating vessel of the peroneal artery detected by 3D-CTA before the operation with those of the actual measurement during operation were observed. The length of time for flap cutting and the survival of the flap after operation were recorded. During follow-up of 12 months after the operation, the patients were instructed to evaluate the foot function according to the Maryland foot function score standard, and the wound healing in the donor area and the occurrence of complications affecting the motor function of limb were observed. Data were statistically analyzed with paired sample t test. Results: The types of peroneal artery perforating vessels in patients measured during the operation were septocutaneous perforator of 12 cases, musculocutaneous perforator of 2 cases, and musculomuscular septal perforator of 1 case, which were consistent with those measured by preoperative 3D-CTA. The diameter of the peroneal artery perforating vessel measured by preoperative 3D-CTA was (1.38±0.17) mm, which was close to (1.40±0.19) mm measured during the operation (t=0.30, P>0.05). The horizontal distance from the starting point of the perforating vessel to the outer edge of the shank was (42±6) mm, and the vertical distance from the starting point of the perforating vessel to the level of the lateral ankle tip was (219±14) mm measured by preoperative 3D-CTA, which were respectively close to (43±6) and (221±15) mm of intraoperative measurement (with t values of 0.46 and 0.38, respectively, P>0.05). The length of time for cutting flap was (31±6) min. All flaps survived post operation without vascular crisis. During follow-up of 12 months after the operation, the foot function was evaluated as excellent in 11 cases, good in 3 cases, and fair in 1 case, the donor site wound healed well, the scar was not noticeable with no contracture, and the motor function of joints was not affected. Conclusions: Free peroneal artery perforator flap is one of the effective methods to reconstruct skin and soft tissue defect wounds in the forefoot, and the risk of surgery can be reduced when the anatomical location of the perforating vessels is confirmed by 3D-CTA.

Abstract
Objective: To investigate the clinical effects of autologous platelet rich plasma (PRP) gel in combination with vacuum sealing drainage (VSD) technology in repairing refractory wounds. Methods: From March 2011 to January 2015, 44 patients with refractory wounds meeting the inclusion criteria were recruited into VSD alone group, who were admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of the Yidu Central Hospital of Weifang and received intermittent VSD treatment. From February 2015 to September 2019, 43 patients with refractory wounds meeting the inclusion criteria were recruited into PRP+ VSD group, who were admitted to the same unit as above-mentioned and received PRP combined with intermittent VSD treatment. The retrospective cohort study was conducted. There were 24 males and 20 females with age of (37.5±2.2) years in VSD alone group, and there were 25 males and 18 females with age of (37.0±2.5) years in PRP+ VSD group. The wound exudate of patients in the two groups before and 7 and 14 d after the first treatment were collected for bacterial culture, and the positive rate of bacterial culture was calculated. The wound healing of patients in the two groups was observed on 7, 14, and 21 d after the first treatment, and the wound healing rate was calculated. The complete wound healing time of patients in the two groups was recorded. The degree of wound pain of patients in the two groups was evaluated by the Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before and 14 d after the first treatment. The scar hyperplasia of patients in the two groups was evaluated by the Vancouver Scar Scale (VSS) in 1 and 2 months after the wound healed completely. The occurrence of adverse reactions of patients in the two groups during the whole period of treatment was observed and the incidence of adverse reactions was calculated. Data were statistically analyzed with analysis of variance for repeated measurement, chi-square test, paired t test, and Bonferroni correction. Results: The positive rates of bacterial culture in wound exudate of patients in PRP+ VSD on 7 and 14 d after the first treatment were 37.2% (16/43) and 11.6% (5/43), which were significantly lower than 56.8% (25/44) and 29.5% (13/44) in VSD alone group, χ(2)=4.212, 4.255, P<0.05. The wound healing rates of patients in PRP+ VSD group on 7 and 14, and 21 d after the first treatment were respectively (58±14)%, (70±13)%, (89±12)%, which were significantly higher than (41±11)%, (60±11)%, (74±12)% in VSD alone group, t=6.323, 3.820, 5.751, P<0.01. The complete wound healing time of patients in PRP+ VSD group was (30±6) d, which was significantly shorter than (61±8) d in VSD alone group, t=20.890, P<0.05. The VAS score of patients in PRP+ VSD group was significantly lower than that in VSD alone group on 14 d after the first treatment (t=13.904, P<0.01). The VSS score of patients in PRP+ VSD group was significantly lower than that in VSD alone group in 1 and 2 months after the wound healed completely (t=3.307, 3.637, P<0.01). The incidence of adverse reactions of patients in PRP+ VSD group during the whole period of treatment was 7.0% (3/43), which was significantly lower than 22.7% (10/44) in VSD alone group, χ(2)=4.245, P<0.05. Conclusions: Autologous PRP gel combined with VSD technology in repairing refractory wounds not only has good bacteriostatic effect, but also can increase wound healing rate, shorten wound healing time, alleviate wound pain, reduce scar hyperplasia, with less adverse reaction, which is worthy of promotion.

Abstract
Objective: To explore the effect of free medial plantar perforator flap in repairing deep burn wound on palm with assistance of three dimensional computed tomography angiography (CTA). Methods: From March 2015 to January 2018, 11 patients with deep burn wounds of palm were admitted to the Department of Burns and Plastic Surgery of Yidu Central Hospital of Weifang City, including 6 males and 5 females, aged 19-53 years. The wound area after debridement was 3.0 cm×2.5 cm-8.0 cm×6.0 cm. Before the operation, CTA of the foot was performed, and the three dimensional digital model was reconstructed by computer software to observe the initial position, course, and distribution of the arteries and veins in the donor site. The medial plantar perforator flap was designed according to the area and shape of the wound, with area of 3.5 cm×3.0 cm-8.5 cm×6.5 cm. After the wound was covered by the flap, the perforating branch of the medial plantar artery was anastomosed end to end with the carpal epithelial branch of the ulnar artery, the accompanying vein or the branch of the great saphenous vein was anastomosed end to end with the accompanying vein of the carpal epithelial branch of the ulnar artery, and the terminal branch of the saphenous nerve or the medial dorsal cutaneous nerve was anastomosed end to end with the superficial palmar branch of the ulnar nerve. The wound of donor site was covered with full-thickness skin graft from the outer thigh of the same side. The perforators of the medial plantar artery observed during the operation were compared with the reconstructed three dimensional CTA images. The survival of flap was observed, and the appearance and function of the flap were followed up and evaluated with trial standard for the evaluation of the functions of the upper limbs of the Hand Surgery Society of the Chinese Medical Association. Results: The initial position, course, and distribution of the perforator of the medial plantar artery during the operation were basically the same as those of the reconstructed three dimensional CTA images before the operation. All the flaps of patients survived after the operation. During the 6 months to 1 year follow-up, the appearance of flap was good, with no obvious swelling or pigmentation, but with good elasticity. The discrimination distance between the two points was 5.0-8.0 mm, and the flaps were evaluated as excellent in 4 cases, good in 6 cases, and fair in 1 case. Conclusions: The free medial plantar perforator flap is an ideal choice for repair of the deep burn wound on palm. Three dimensional CTA before the operation can detect condition of vascular variation, with high accuracy of vascular anastomosis during operation.

Abstract
Self-absorption-free laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (SAF-LIBS) can directly obtain the applicable quasi-optically thin lines by determining the optimal acquisition delay time according to the intensity ratio of doublet lines at specific transition wavelength of the analyzed elements, thus eliminating the influence of self-absorption on quantitative results. In quantitative analysis of samples with a certain content range, the key to the convenient application of this technique is to rapidly select the suitable doublet lines for the element to be analyzed. The theoretical analysis shows that the evolution trend of doublet intensity ratio is monotonous under the assumptions that the plasma is uniform and in local thermal equilibrium (LTE) and the area density (Nl) is a constant, which is also confirmed by the experimental results of Cu and Al. Thus, a rapid spectral line selection criterion for SAF-LIBS applications is derived: only when the doublet intensity ratios measured at the initial and final stages of plasma induced by the boundary sample with the highest element content lie on both sides of the theoretical ratio, the doublet lines can reach quasi-optically thin during plasma evolution and are suitable for SAF-LIBS measurements. This new criterion is helpful to promote the practicality and industrial application of SAF-LIBS technology.

Abstract
Despite the improvements in the diagnosis and management during the past six decades, acute aortic dissection (AAD) remains a life-threatening condition associated with significant morbidity and mortality rates. Due to the relatively rare occurrence of AAD, several clinical registries have been established to gain insights into this lethal disease in a large number of patients, such as the International Registry of Acute Aortic Dissection (IRAD), the German Registry for Acute Aortic Dissection Type A (GERAADA), and the Society of Thoracic Surgeons (STS) Adult Cardiac Surgery Database Aortic Section. This review aims to interpret and compare the latest results of the IRAD, STS and GERAADA database. It focuses on several controversial and key issues in the diagnosis and management of acute aortic dissection in hope of providing some insights and references for cardiovascular professionals engaged in the care of this deadly disease.

Abstract
A resonance/non-resonance, doublet-based, self-absorption-free, laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy (SAF-LIBS) technique is proposed for greatly expanding the measurement range of quantitative elemental analysis by using a quasi-optically thin line. The quasi-optically thin spectral line is obtained by matching the measured doublet atomic lines' intensity ratios with the theoretical one, and the applicable measurement range is expanded by utilizing the resonance and non-resonance lines. The specific calibration process consists of two parts: the nonlinear LIBS calibration and the linear SAF-LIBS calibration. For quantitative measurements, the approximate content of the unknown sample is determined first by using the LIBS calibration curve, and then the SAF-LIBS spectra and the resonance or non-resonance calibration curve that corresponds to the predetermined content are used for further implementing the quantitative analysis. Univariate quantitative analysis results of Cu show that this resonance/non-resonance doublet-based SAF-LIBS technique not only captures the quasi-optically thin spectral line in a wide range of elemental content, but also possesses high correlation coefficients of calibration curves, small relative errors of measurement and low limits of detection. The applicability and limitations of this technique are also discussed, and the evolution as well as the related major determinants of self-absorption are analyzed by taking advantage of the spatial-temporal evolution images of plasma emissivity.

Abstract
Mucinous tubular and spindle cell carcinoma (MTSCC) is a rare sub-type of renal cell carcinoma (RCC). It has been considered to be a kind of "indolent" tumor with low-grade fashion, weak invasive capacity and relatively favorable prognosis. However, in the current case, a 3.7 cm×2.8 cm spherical mass with contrast enhancement was found in the left kidney incidentally by computed tomography (CT) in a 60-year-old male patient. A lesion in the right humerus (2.1 cm×1.6 cm×3.1 cm) was found at the same time without any symptoms or sign of pathological fracture by magnetic resonance (MR) imaging. Further positron emission tomography (PET)/CT scan which was ordered immediately after admission suggested multiple bone destruction including skull, pelvis, sternum, right humerus and femur, left scapula, multiple vertebrae and libs. Pathological examination after radical nephrectomy and palliative resection with internal fixation of the lesion in the right humerus indicated that both renal (3.0 cm×3.0 cm×2.5 cm) and bone lesions were MTSCC with the features of high-grade ovoid epithelioid cells, cord-like spindle cells and mucinous matrix under light microscope. The diagnosis of renal MTSCC concurrent with multiple bone metastasis was made. This case report suggested the necessity of general evaluation, especially bone scan for possible distant metastasis, as MTSCC might present unexpected advanced behaviors without any orthopedic symptoms. The behavior of bone metastasis might be associated with male and elderly age. MTSCC has similar enhancement features to papillary RCC on CT scan. As results, attentions are needed to differentiate MTSCC from papillary RCC as they both tend to show lesser enhancement degrees than cortex. Rather than exhibiting a dedifferentiating appearance, the pathological characteristics of bone metastasis lesion were close to those of primary renal lesion. The reason of distant metastasis to the bone remained unclear, negative expression of cytokeratin (CK) 7 might be attributed to. Though immunotherapy, chemotherapy and target therapy could all be methods for systematic therapies, procedures to remove renal lesions and prevent skeletal related events are still highly recommended.

Abstract
Background/Aims Two renalase single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) rs2296545 and rs2576178 have been reported to be associated with the susceptibility to hypertension (HT). Given the inconsistent results, we conducted a meta-analysis to assess the association between these two SNPs and the risk of HT. Methods Electronic databases were systematically searched to find relevant studies. Subgroup analysis was conducted according to the different concomitant diseases and ethnicities in the study population. Pooled odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence intervals (CI) were calculated using fixed-effect or random-effect models. Results A total of six case–control studies on rs2296545 and six studies on rs2576178 were included. In the combined analysis, results showed a significant association between SNP rs2296545 and risk of HT in all genetic models (dominant model CG+CC/GG: OR = 1.43, 95% CI = 1.24–1.65; recessive model CC/CG+GG: OR = 1.36, 95% CI = 1.09–1.69; codominant model CC/GG: OR = 1.63, 95% CI = 1.20–2.20, CG/GG: OR = 1.30, 95% CI = 1.12–1.52; allelic model C/G: OR = 1.29, 95% CI = 1.10–1.51). In subgroup analysis, we observed a significant association between rs2296545 and risk of essential HT. Although we did not observe an association between rs2576178 polymorphism and HT in the combined analysis, an increased risk was observed in the essential HT patients versus healthy controls (subgroup 1) analysis under the dominant, recessive, and codominant genetic models. Conclusions Renalase gene rs2296545 polymorphism is significantly associated with increased risk of HT, whereas rs2576178 polymorphism may not be associated with the susceptibility to HT.

Abstract
Peste des petits ruminants (PPR) is an infectious disease caused by peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV). While PPR mainly affects domestic goats and sheep, it also affects wild ungulates such as ibex, blue sheep, and gazelle, although there are few reports regarding PPRV infection in wild animals. Between January 2015 and February 2015, it was found for the first time that wild ibexes died from PPRV infection in Bazhou, Xinjiang, China, where a total of 38 ibexes (including young and adult ibexes) were found to have died abnormally from PPR-related issues. First, we tested for the presence of the F gene of PPRV by RT-PCR. Then, we compared the sequence of the isolated F gene from the ibex strain, termed PPRV Xinjiang/Ibex/2015, with those previously identified from small domestic ruminants from local areas near where the reported isolate was collected as well as those from other regions. The current sequence was phylogenetically classified as a lineage IV virus, and shared a high level of sequence identity (99.7%) with a previously described Xinjiang PPRV isolate.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE The aim of the study was to investigate the possible neuroprotective effects of a low priming volume following deep hypothermic circulatory arrest (DHCA) in a rabbit model. METHODS Rabbits were randomized into three groups: DHCA with low priming volume (Group L), DHCA with high priming volume (Group H), and sham-operated group (Group S). The priming volume of Groups L and H were 75 ml and 210 ml, respectively. The rabbits were simultaneously placed on CPB and brain microdialysis, cooled to 16 to 18 degrees C with DHCA for 60 minutes. Physiological parameters were regularly recorded. The extracellular levels of glutamate, glucose, lactate, and pyruvate in the hippocampus were collected by microdialysis and measured by HPLC and a microdialysis analyzer. Brain damage was evaluated with light microscopy and electron microscopy and TUNEL staining. RESULTS In order to keep the mean arterial pressure and acid-base balance within defined physiological ranges, more doses of dopamine and sodium bicarbonate were administered in Group H than in Group L (P < 0.05). The ratios of lactate/glucose and lactate/pyruvate in Group H increased significantly compared with those in Group L from the beginning of weaning from CPB (P < 0.05). The levels of extracellular glutamate in the two DHCA groups increased significantly (P < 0.05). After weaning from CPB, the glutamate values in Group H remained at higher levels compared with those in Group L (P < 0.05). The percentage of injured neurons, TUNEL positive staining, and the mitochondria score of the hippocampus CA1 in Group H were significantly higher than in Group L (P < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS A low priming volume during DHCA could have a neuroprotective effect compared with a high priming volume.

Abstract
Cyclooxygenase (COX)-derived prostaglandins are critical in female reproduction. Gene targeting studies show that ovulation, fertilization, implantation, and decidualization are defective in COX-2 deficient mice. We used genetic and pharmacologic approaches to perturb COX function and examine the differential and synergistic effects of inhibition of COX-1, COX-2, or of both isoforms on reproductive outcomes during early pregnancy in mice. The results demonstrate that simultaneous inhibition of COX-1 and COX-2 produces more severe effects on early pregnancy events than inhibition of either isoform alone. The effects of pharmacological inhibition of COX-2 on female reproductive functions were less severe than the null mutation of the COX-2 gene. A combined approach showed that COX-2 inhibition in COX-1(-/-) mice induced complete reproductive failure, suggesting a lack of alternative sources of prostaglandin synthesis. This investigation raises caution regarding the indiscriminate use of COX inhibitors and shows for the first time the distinct and overlapping pathways of the cyclooxygenase systems in female reproduction.

Abstract
We have been developing a new left ventricular assist device, an axial flow pump implanted at the aortic valve position. Since the device is intended for long-term use, its motor unit and pump are physically separated. The device consists of a "rotor-impeller" and a support cage. The rotor joins the impeller at one end and provides torque needed to spin the impeller. The support cage consists of a cantilever, a cantilever shaft, a top ring, and an end ring. The support cage is designed to fit within the ascending aorta and sutured to the aortic annulus during implantation. The magnetic rotor will rotate in the presence of alternating magnetic fields generated by an electric motor. The assembly also serves as a valve by maintaining the appropriate pressure drop across the aortic orifice. A prototype device was fabricated and tested in vitro. It produced a flow rate up to 5 L/min with a rotation rate of 12,600 rpm at a pressure difference of 100 mm Hg. The results proved the feasibility of the new device.

Abstract
PRL and its homologs accomplish their biological effects through the PRL receptor (PRLR). We evaluated the expression and function of PRLR in the embryo and uterus during the periimplantation period because PRLR deficiency results in implantation failure. In wild-type mice, PRLR expression was localized to undecidualized stromal cells in the antimesometrial border on days 6-8 of pregnancy. A small population of PRLR-expressing cells was observed adjacent to the ectoplacental cone in the mesometrial stroma. Low levels of PRLR expression were also detected in the developing embryo on days 6-8. To determine the significance of PRLR expression in this distribution, we examined implantation and decidualization in PRLR-/- mice. Progesterone (P4) administration rescued infertility in PRLR-/- mice from the periimplantation period to midgestation. Artificially induced decidualization was absent in pseudopregnant PRLR-/- mice but was identical to wild-type in P4-treated PRLR-/- mice. Furthermore, wild-type and P4-treated PRLR-/- mice had similar expression of the implantation-specific genes, LIF, amphiregulin, HB-EGF, COX-1, COX-2, PPARdelta, Hoxa-10, cyclin-D3, VEGF, and its receptors, Flk-1 and neuropilin-1. Together, these results show that luteal P4 production via ovarian PRLR signaling is required for implantation and early pregnancy. The function of uterine PRLR remains unclear. However, the eventual loss of pregnancy in P4-treated PRLR-/- mice suggests that uterine PRLR may be essential for the support of late gestation.

Abstract
We have demonstrated previously that cyclo-oxygenase-2 (COX2), the rate-limiting enzyme in the biosynthesis of prostaglandins (PGs), is essential for blastocyst implantation and decidualization. However, the candidate PG(s) that participates in these processes and the mechanism of its action remain undefined. Using COX2-deficient mice and multiple approaches, we demonstrate herein that COX2-derived prostacyclin (PGI2) is the primary PG that is essential for implantation and decidualization. Several lines of evidence suggest that the effects of PGI2 are mediated by its activation of the nuclear hormone receptor PPARdelta, demonstrating the first reported biologic function of this receptor signaling pathway.

Abstract
Hoxa-10 is an AbdominalB-like homeobox gene that is expressed in the developing genitourinary tract during embryogenesis and in the adult uterus during early pregnancy. Null mutation of Hoxa-10 in the mouse causes both male and female infertility. Defective implantation and decidualization resulting from the loss of maternal Hoxa-10 function in uterine stromal cells is the cause of female infertility. However, the mechanisms by which Hoxa-10 regulates these uterine events are unknown. We have identified two potential mechanisms for these uterine defects in Hoxa-10(-/-) mice. First, two PGE2 receptor subtypes, EP3 and EP4, are aberrantly expressed in the uterine stroma in Hoxa-10(-/-) mice, while expression of several other genes in the stroma (TIMP-2, MMP-2, ER, and PR) and epithelium (LIF, HB-EGF, Ar, and COX-1) are unaffected before implantation. Further, EP3 and EP4 are inappropriately regulated by progesterone (P4) in the absence of Hoxa-10, while PR, Hoxa-11 and c-myc, three other P4-responsive genes respond normally. These results suggest that Hoxa-10 specifically mediates P4 regulation of EP3 and EP4 in the uterine stroma. Second, since Hox genes are implicated in local cell proliferation, we also examined steroid-responsive uterine cell proliferation in Hoxa-10(-/-) mice. Stromal cell proliferation in mutant mice in response to P4 and 17beta-estradiol (E2 was significantly reduced, while epithelial cell proliferation was normal in response to E2. These results suggest that stromal cell responsiveness to P4 with respect to cell proliferation is impaired in Hoxa-10(-/-) mice, and that Hoxa-10 is involved in mediating stromal cell proliferation. Collectively, these results suggest that Hoxa-10 mutation causes specific stromal cell defects that can lead to implantation and decidualization defects apparently without perturbing epithelial cell functions.

Abstract
LC-UV-mass spectrometry and bioassay co-directed fractionation of an aqueous acetone extract of the roots of Gentiana macrophylla gave three new chromene derivatives and two novel and six known secoiridoids, along with kurarinone, kushenol I, beta-sitosterol, stigmasterol, daucosterol, beta-sitosterol-3-O-gentiobioside, alpha-amyrin, oleanolic acid, isovitexin, gentiobiose and methyl 2-hydroxy-3-(1-beta-D-glucopyranosyl)oxybenzoate. The structures of the new products were established from spectral and chemical evidence as 2-methoxyanofinic acid and macrophyllosides A-D. The six known secoiridoids were gentiopicroside, sweroside, 6'-O-beta-D-glucosylgentiopicroside, 6'-O-beta-D-glucosylsweroside, trifloroside and rindoside. The new acid (2-methoxyanofinic acid), its methyl ester, kurarinone and kushenol I were shown to be active against the plant pathogenic fungus Cladosporium cucumerinum. The methyl ester and kurarinone inhibited also the growth of the human pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. Structure-activity relationships were studied. Thus, addition of a methoxyl group to the benzene nucleus of anofinic acid (2,2-dimethyl-2H-1-benzopyran-6-carboxylic acid) increased the antifungal activity remarkably whereas glycosylation at the carboxylic moiety was found to remove the activity. Esterification of the new acid induced its activity against C. albicans, but decreased its growth inhibition properties against C. cucumerinum. Hydroxylation of kurarinone at the 3 beta-position removed its activity against C. albicans and decreased the inhibition of C. cucumerinum. In addition, the chemotaxonomic significance of the identified constituents is discussed.

Abstract
Yogurt and acidophilus milk that contain Lactobacillus acidophilus could promote human health because L. acidophilus can inhibit enteric and food-borne microbial pathogens. To evaluate the stability of diary L. acidophilus cultures, we studied whether some diary lactobacilli could be inhibited by phages or bacteriocins released by other dairy lactobacilli. From 20 yogurts and two acidophilus milks purchased at local food markets, 38 Lactobacillus strains were isolated. Eight Lactobacillus type strains were used as controls. With mitomycin induction and agar spot assay, phages and bacteriocins were isolated from these strains and their activities were analyzed. Lactobacillus strains from 11 yogurts released phages, while the strains from most of the remaining products released bacteriocins. One phage, designated phi y8, was characterized. It was spontaneously released from its host strain L. acidophilus Y8, at a rate of about 10(4)/ml. This phage lysed nine other dairy Lactobacillus strains tested. It had a burst size of 100, an elongated prolate head of 39 by 130 nm, a long, flexible but noncontractile tail of 300 nm, and a 54.3-kb linear double-stranded DNA. DNA fingerprinting analysis indicated that L. acidophilus phages of nine yogurts in this study belonged to the same type as phi y8. Although they may be sensitive to bacteriocins, all lysogens resisted further phage attacks, whereas most nonlysogens were sensitive to both phages and bacteriocins. Therefore, Lacotbacillus cultures of some American yogurts and acidophilus milks may be unstable or unsafe because they can either be inhibited by phages or bacteriocins or release them to inhibit lactobacilli or other diary products.

Abstract
Fractionation of an aqueous acetone extract of the whole herb of Gentiana algida gave one new [2'-(o,m-dihydroxybenzyl)sweroside] and five known secoiridoids, together with anofinic acid, fomannoxin acid, sitosterol, daucosterol, stigmasterol, oleanolic acid, orientin and gentianose. The structures were determined by spectral methods and a few chemical transformations. Anofinic acid and fomannoxin acid were found to be active against Cladosporium cucumerinum, a plant pathogenic fungus. Preliminary structure-activity studies indicated that the presence of carboxylic moieties in these acids was presumably a precondition for activity, whereas their methyl esters, inactive to the fungus, were active against the human pathogenic yeast Candida albicans. The chemotaxonomic significance of the isolates is discussed briefly.

Abstract
A dichloromethane extract of the roots of Eriosema tuberosum exhibited antifungal activity against Cladosporium cucumerinum and Candida albicans using TLC bioautography. Bioassay-directed fractionation led to the isolation of four new compounds, eriosemaones A-D, together with a known compound, flemichin-D, as the active constituents. Three inactive polyphenols were also isolated after methylation, together with one new chromone, eriosematin. Structures were determined by spectroscopic analysis and from chemical evidence.

Abstract
The ceramic bovine bones combined with bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) were implanted in the mandibular artificial defects of dogs. Observed by roentgenography, histology (Scanning electronic microscope and light microscope), and radioisotope scanning. The results confirmed that the composite bone possessed superior biocompatibility, osteoinductive and no obvious immunogenic reaction. One year later, the grafted bone and the new bone fused into each other with the histologic structure similar to the host bone. This is a new xenogenic bone graft material which may be used in clinic.

Abstract
A total of 11 techniques including 57 items for zygosity diagnosis was employed in two sets of triplet. Namely, placenta-fetal membrane, LDH isoenzymes, etc. The authors made an investigation in detail on the pedigree history of polyembryony and systematic analysis of two sets of male triplets. The conclusion was that the first triplet came from a single ovum, whereas the second triplet developed from double ova. Different methods for the zygosity diagnosis were discussed. It was considered that there was hereditary influence in the occurrence of triplets developing either from a single ovum or from multiple ova.
