[Effects of Vitrification with Self-made Carriers and Slow Programmed Freezing on Ovarian Tissue of Sheep].

Objective To investigate the effects of self-made carriers on the cryopreservation of ovarian tissue of sheep. Methods Thirty-two ovaries were randomly assigned to fresh group,programmed freezing group,self-made carrier I vitrification group,and self-made carrier Ⅱ vitrification group.The morphology,proliferation,apoptosis,and estrogen level of the ovarian tissue in each group were observed.

Olivibacter flavus sp. nov., a novel endophytic bacterium isolated from the root of Camellia sinensis.

A novel Gram-negative rod, endophytic bacterium, designated strain TMCC 8258, was isolated from the root of Camellia sinensis collected from Puer, south-west China. Comparative 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis showed that the strain belongs to the family Sphingobacteriaceae and a neighbour-joining phylogenetic tree suggested that strain TMCC 8258 formed a cluster with the type strain of Olivibacter ginsengisoli (showed the highest 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity of 95.8%).

Aquisalimonas halophila sp. nov., a moderately halophilic bacterium isolated from a hypersaline mine.

A Gram-negative, moderately halophilic, strictly aerobic strain, designated YIM 95345(T), was isolated from a soil sample of a hypersaline mine in Yunnan province, PR China, and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic study. Strain YIM 95345(T) grew at 15-45 °C (optimum 30-35 °C), 3.0-23.

Pediatric burns due to hot water from water dispenser: a neglected issue that should be highly concerned.

Background: More and more Chinese drink hot water from water dispensers while many children were scalded due to this change. The present study aimed to propose a feasible strategy for prevention.

Methods: A retrospective study was conducted for all water dispensers related pediatric burns admitted to Changhai Hospital from January 2005 to December 2009.

Unplanned decannulation of tracheotomy tube in massive burn patients: a retrospective case series study.

Background: Unplanned extubation is associated with adverse outcomes in intensive care unit. The massive burn patient differs from other critically ill patients in many ways. However, little is known about the unplanned decannulation (UD) in Burn Intensive Care Unit.

[Repair system engineering and the concept of sequential cytoprotection in treatment of burn].

It has been an essential trend to understand and solve the difficult problems arising in the treatment process of burn with views of holistic theory. Recent researches have indicated that the driven factors and the termination signals of repair system engineering in treatment of burn are the unity of two opposite rather than two independent bodies with chronological order. Repair driven factors are germinated at the cost of systemic inflammatory response and even multiple organ damage.
