Synthesis of 1, 2, 4-triazole benzoyl arylamine derivatives and their high antifungal activities.

Two series of novel 1, 2, 4-triazole benzoyl arylamine derivatives were prepared and screened for their activities against three pathogens of Gaeumannomyces graminis var.tritici, Sclerotinia sclerotiorum and Fusarium graminearum using the mycelium growth inhibition method in vitro. The results indicated that most of the synthesized derivatives displayed antifungal activities.

Therapeutic Effects of rhIL-11 on Irradiation-Induced Myelosuppression in Rhesus Monkeys.

The efficacy of rhIL-11 in treating thrombocytopenia and neutropenia in gamma-irradiated rhesus monkeys and the variation in curative effect due to difference of administration times were studied. Healthy rhesus monkeys were exposed to 3.0 Gy (60)Co total body irradiation (TBI) to result in pancytopenia for three weeks.

[Direct Injection of Plasmid DNA Expressing IL-6 Gene Improves Recovery of Thrombocytopoiesis in Irradiated Mice].

Hemorrhage is one of major clinical features of the patients exposed to large dose of ionizing radiation and a sudden decrease of peripheral platelet counts in hemorrhage complication may bring the patients into life-threatening situation. Cytokines had been used to improve thrombocytopoiesis in various radiation induced thrombocytopenia. Current measures for this purpose involve repeated injection of recombinant cytokines, which bring much inconvenient and agony to the patients, or gene therapy with viral vectors that could not obviate the risk of infection.
