Aim: To establish a novel method for antibody analysis based on visual protein microarray., Methods: The antibodies spotted on the aldehyde-modified slides were incubated with corresponding antigens labeled by biotin, followed by silver enhancement detection method, and the chromogenic images were scanned by CCD camera., Results: The affinity and specificity of each antibody was assayed by this method and six antibodies were found to have higher specificity than the others. A detection limit of 0.4 microg/L was obtained for anti-globulinIIIC013, anti-albumin HPSIIB007, and anti-albumin HPSIIIB007., Conclusion: This method is simple, fast and visual. In addition, it needs less sample amount than traditional immunoassay and has potential to achieve high throughput.

Objective: To investigate the induction and culture of adventitious root of Panax notoginseng., Method: Three ways, induction from the explants of three-year-old P. notoginseng. The explants of regenerated shoots and calluses, were used to induce adventitious roots. The effects of 2, 4-dichlorophenoxyacetic acid, indole-3-butyric acid and naphthylacetic acid on adventitious root induction were investigated respectively. The effects of four modes of separating adventitious roots from the parent tissues on culture in vitro were compared., Result: Adventitious roots were successfully induced by three methods, of which the young flower bud callus was the best material for the induction of adventitious root. Indole-3-butyric acid possessed the strongest potency for induction. The liquid culture system was established by continuous culture of adventitious roots together with their parent tissues before separated., Conclusion: The acquisition and culture in vitro in liquid culture system of adventitious roots of P. notoginseng lay a foundation for the next investigation.

Objective: To study the effectiveness of substitute valve at the popliteal vein in treatment of deep venous valve insufficiency of lower extremities., Methods: From January 1996 to August 2002, 27 patients were diagnosed having deep venous valve insufficiency of lower extremities by color Doppler and radiography with an average disease course of 17.4 years. All 27 patients had varicose vein, 25 pain, 22 swelling, 25 pigmentation in ankle area and 19 chronic ulcerations. Two cases had been treated with great saphenous vein ligation and striping. Average vein pressure in resting position was (11.00 +/- 0.73) kPa, and the ambulatory venous pressure was (9.14 +/- 0.68) kPa. All patients were treated with substitute valve at the popliteal vein, and great saphenous vein ligation and stripping, some were treated with subfascial endoscopic perforating veins ablation., Results: The average ambulatory venous pressure after operation was (5.94 +/- 0.82) kPa, were significantly different from that before operation(P < 0.01). The curative results were satisfactory, and all symptom and physical sign disappeared. After a mean follow-up period of 2-6 years, 21 cases had satisfactory results., Conclusion: Substitute valve at the popliteal vein have the value of widespread application.
