AIM:To compare the quality of Liuwei Dihuang Pill produced by different pharmaceutical companies by determining the content and the in vitro dissolution of paeonol and loganin of Liuwei Dihuang Pill.METHODS:The HPLC method was used for the assay of paeonol and loganin in Liuwei Dihuang Pill.The standard dissolution test was used to investigate the in vitro dissolution of paeonol and loganin.RESULTS:The content of paeonol and loganin from different manufacturers differed significantly.Six products differed significantly from one another in their in vitro dissolution(P

To construct a steady canine abdominal aortic aneurysm model to study endovascular graft exclusion, fifteen hybrid canines(averaged 13 5kg) accepted bovine jugular vein segments replacement at infra kidney abdominal aortic to construct aneurysms, while lumbar arteries were reserved. All the fifteen aneurysms had satisfactory figures as clinical patterns. The aneurysm parameters were proximal neck diameter(6 0?0 8)mm, distal neck diameter(5 7?0 6)mm, aneurysm sac diameter(22 7?13 3)mm, length(36 1?17 9)mm. It is concluded that the designation of this model is suitable for endovascular graft exclusion,and can be applicated in many procedures.

Hyperhomocysteinemia is an important independent risk factor for cardio-cerebrovas- cular diseases.Studies in recent years have suggested that hyperhomocysteinemia is also an independent risk factor for vascular dementia and Alzheimer's disease.Mild vascular cognitive impairment is the prophase of vascular dementia.Mainly through the damage of vascular wall structure and its function,homocysteine may has correlation with mild vascular cognitive impairment.

Objective　To explore the relationship between cadmium-induced inhibition of splenic lymphocyte function and cell apoptosis in vitro.Methods　The splenic lymphocytes of mice were exposed to 3.10, 6.25, 12.50, 25.00, 50.00 μmol/L of cadmiun chloride (CdCl2) for various time period, to measure the lymphocyte transformation by MTT colorimetric assay and to detect the apoptosis in splenocytes by DNA agarose electrophoresis and flow cytometry (FACS).Results　CdCl2 could significantly inhibit the function of lymphocyte transformation in a dose-response pattern at concentrations of 25.00 and 50.00 μmol/L, with inhibition rates of 50% and 78% in ConA-stimulating group and 39% and 55% in LPS-stimulating group, respectively.CdCl2 could also induce apoptosis of splenic cells at concentrations of 12.50 to 50.00 μmol/L.Results of FACS analysis showed 30%-60% of cell apoptosis.Higher concentration of CdCl2 could also cause reduction of cell survival.Effect of Cd-induced apoptosis was earlier and at a lower concentration of CdCl2 than that of Cd-induced inhibition of lymphocyte transformation.Conclusion　CdCl2 could induce cell apoptosis in vitro, which was one of the mechanisms of its suppression of lymphocyte function.
