Objective To investigate the relationship between transient ischemic attack(TIA) and intracranial or extracranial artery stenosis.Methods Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) was further used in 56 cases with cerebral artery stenosis from 68 TIA patients after examinations of B ultrasound of neck, transcranial color doppler(TCD) and cardiac ultrasound. Results 6 cases were shown stenosis or occlusion in middle cerebral arteries(MCA), 21 cases were shown stenosis or occlusion in arteria carotis interna,8 cases were shown stenosis in subclavian arteries and 28 cases were shown stenosis or occlusion in vertebral arteries or basal arteries. 44 cases with TIA were related to stenosis of large arteties, 16 cases of which were intracarotid TIA, and 28 cases were vertebrobasilar TIA; 18 cases were embotic TIA, 15 cases of which were intracarotid TIA, and 3 cases were vertebrobasilar TIA. 4 casea were lacunar TIA; and 2 cases were related to vascular spasm. Conclusions Most patients with TIA have cerebral artery stenosis.There is a positive correlation between TIA and intracranial or extracranial artery stenosis.

OBJECTIVE:To investigate the compatibility stability of Salvianolic acid for injection (SAFI) combined with 8 kinds of common solvents. METHODS:Referring to package inserts,SAFI was collected and combined with 0.9% Sodium chlo-ride injection,5% Glucose injection,10% Glucose injection,Compound sodium chloride injection,Mannitol injection,Glycerol fructose and sodium chloride injection,Sodium lactate Ringer's injection,Glucose and sodium chloride injection,250 mL each re-spectively,and then sealed in the dark at the room temperature. The appearance of mixtures were observed,pH value,the number of insoluble particles,maximal absorption wavelength and maximal absorbance were detected,and the contents of salvianolic acid B,rosmarinic acid,lithospermic acid and salvianolic acid Y in mixtures were determined by HPLC at 0,1,2,4,8 h after mix-ing. RESULTS:Under above condition,no obvious change was found in appearance or pH values of the mixtures within 8 h. Maxi-mal absorption wavelength ranged 284.5-286.0 nm. After mixed with Mannitol injection,the number of particles≥10μm(1-8 h af-ter mixing)and particles ≥25 μm(4-8 h after mixing)exceeded the scope of Chinese Pharmacopoeia(2015 edition);the maxi-mal absorbance changed significantly(RSD=9.17%,n=5);the relative content of salvianolic acid B,rosmarinic acid,lithosper-mic acid and salvianolic acid Y decreased by more than 10%(RSD=14.65%,6.45%,8.97%,12.49%,n=5);after mixed with Sodium lactate Ringer's injection,the relative content of rosmarinic acid and lithospermic acid changed greatly (RSD=14.57%, 7.28%,n=5);after mixed with 5% Glucose injection(4-8 h after mixing)and Glycerol fructose and sodium chloride injection(8 h after mixing),the relative content of rosmarinic acid were less than 90%(RSD=6.30%,4.86%,n=5);and the number of particles ≥25μm exceeded the scope of phamcopoeia after mixing with Glycerol fructose and sodium injection(0 h). The number of insoluble particles in other mixtures were in line with the standard of pharmacopoeia;maximal absorbance had no significant change(RSD<5%,n=5),and the relative content change of analytes were all less than 10%. CONCLUSIONS:Clinical appli-cation of SAFI combined with Mannitol injection,Sodium lactate Ringe's injection and Glycerol fructose and sodium injecrion should be avoided. After mixed with 5% Glucose injection,SAFI should be used within 4 h. SAFI can be compatible with 0.9%Sodium chloride injection,10% Glucose injection,Compound sodium chloride injection and Glucose and sodium chloride injec-tion.

Yiqi Fumai freeze-dried powder for injection was used as a model drug to establish an evaluation method mainly based on bio-thermodynamics profile detection. Fischer function was used to analyze the chemical and biological data In general, chemical chromatogram can distinguish the expired sample and thermal spectrum of biological activity can distinguish special samples exactly. Thus, we established the evaluation method regarding the quality volatility of Yiqi Fumai freeze-dried powder for injection. The method can be used as a useful supplement in quality control as, and it could provide some technical information for quality control of other varieties of traditional Chinese medicine for injection.

BACKGROUND: Ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is widely used as acetabulum. The hip joint will produce lots of grind particles and lead to loosening of artificial joint because of alternating load and bad lubricate condition.OBJECTIVE: To learn about the lubricate mechanism of joint, introduce the present situation on artificial hip joint of UHMWPE including wear behavior and wear resistance properties, and grope for scientific evaluate method of tribological properties in artificial joints.RETRIEVAL STRATEGY: The articles published between January 2000 and October 2007 were searched by using computer with the key terms "hip joint, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, tribology" in CNKI, Weipu Science and Technology Database, Wanfang Database, and its language was limited to Chinese. Meanwhile, the English articles were searched in IEEE/IEE Electronic Library and Elsevier Electronic Journal Database with the key terms "hip simulators, ultra-high molecular weight polyethylene, tribology ". Those referring to the friction and wear property of the joints were included, whereas repeated researches were deleted.LITERATURE EVALUATION: Totally 729 articles were received. After the primary screening of the titles and abstracts, 601 repeated or similar researches were excluded, and other 128 articles were adopted for further analysis, finally 22 articles in accordance with the inclusion criteria were included as references.DATA SYNTHESIS: The study about UHMWPE focused two points, one is surface modification, the other is wear and friction mechanism.①The study indicates that wear properties of UHMWPE can be improved by surface modification, such as ion implantation and nanometer padding have a remarkable elevating ability of the wear and mechanical properties.②At recent years, scholars do many basal experiences about the tribology of hip joints, and have approved that wear rate of friction pairs would reduce under biological lubricate condition using artificial joint simulators or traditional tester in various conditions.CONCLUSION: The study about hip joint in China drops behind the developed counties, this traditional method can not really reflect wear and friction properties in vivo. Therefore, the following research should include making clear the relationships of load, environmental condition and wear of artificial joint in vivo, as well as groping for a scientific evaluate method of tribological properties in hip joints.
