Results: The oral liquid prepared by the procedure of alcohol percolation. Both ferulic acid and astragalus saponins I contents in this preparation were the highest, and it could remarkably increase the lactation quantity of normal mice. Conclusion: The alcohol percolation procedure was the optimum extraction procedure for Buqiyangxuecuira Oral Liquid.

Objective To provide the basis for early detection and treatment of precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma, and reference for early discovery, diagnoses and treatment of gastric cancer, by examining the differences of expression of Helicobaeter pylori (Hp), both in the gastric mueosa and in blood serum, between precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma patients and gastric cancer patients. Methods Used immunechromatographic method and protein chip system to determine the expression of Hp in blood serum and used immunohistochemistry to detect the expression of Hp in gastric mucosa. The patients had been diagnosed by pathological methods, 170 patients with precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma, 111 patients with gastric carcinoma and 31 patients with superficial gastritis. Results The expression of Hp was detected on every stage of precancerous lesions and gastric carcinoma. Compared with the detection rates of Hp, precancerous lesions of gastric carcinoma was higher than gastric carcinoma and superficial gastritis, superficial gastritis was the lowest. The differences of the three were significant (P<0.01). The detection rate of Hp in the gastric mueosa (86.2%, 66.7%, 38.7%, respectively)was obviously higher than in blood serum (80.6%, 52.3%, 32.3%, respectively). Conclusions Hp participates in the process of the precancerous lesions and gastric carcinoma. The expression of Hp both in the gastric mueosa and in the blood serum could be one of the indexes, which might report the process and curative effect of precancerous lesions. With such advantages as simple and applicability, the detection of Hp in the blood serum could be used widely. The endoscopy and the detection of Hp in the gastric mucosa are suggested for patients with Hp positive in the blood serum.

[Objective] To compare the effect and safety between Tripterygium Wilfordii Film (TNF) and Compound Tripterygium Wilfordii Film (CTWF) for osteoarthritis of knees. The latter was mainly composed of Radix Folium seu Flos Tripterygii Wilfordii, Rhizoma Chuanxiong, Olibanum, Myrrha, etc. [Methods] Sixty cases of osteoarthritis of knees were randomized to two groups: group A (30 cases) treated with CTWF and group B (30 cases) with TWF. Both of the two groups were given oral use of herbal medicine on the basis of syndrome differentiation. Pain and stiffness of the knees and knee function were observed before and after treatment and their side reactions were also observed. [Results] Pain and stiffness of the knees and the impaired function were relieved in both groups ( P

The anti-endotoxic effect of syringic acid (SA) isolated from Radix Isatidis (Banlangen, BLG) was studied. SA was extracted and isolated from BLG and diluted into 1% solution. The content of SA-pretreated endotoxin (ET) was quantitatively determined using Limulus test. The ability of fever induction of ET pretreated with SA was measured using endotoxin-induced fever test in rabbits. The LPS-induced death in mice pretreated with and without SA was compared. Results showed that after pretreatment with SA, 83.16% of ET was destroyed, the ET-induced fever in rabbits relieved markedly and the LPS-induced death rate in mice dropped from 68% to 20%. It was concluded that SA isolated from BLG had anti-endotoxic effects.
