OBJECTIVE:To study the protective effect of ethyl acetate extract from Japanese Artactylodes Rhizome on myocardial ischemical reperfusion injury in rats and its possible mechanism. METHODS:50 Wistar rats were divided randomly into 5 groups:sham group, model group, medicine (ethyl acetate extract from Japanese Artactylodes Rhizome at dosage of 200mg?kg-1 and 400mg?kg-1,respectively) group and verapamil(positive medicine) group. Rats in medicine group, model group and positive group were subjected to myocardial ischemia for 40min followed by reperfusion for 30 min, then muscular tissues were sampled for the determination of the activity of GSH-Px, the content of mitochondrial calcium (Mit-Ca2+),and the activities of Na+-K+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase in myocardium. RESULTS:As compared with model group, in the group treated with ethyl acetate extract from Japanese Artactylodes Rhizome 30min after reperfusion, the activity of GSH-Px was significantly higher,the content of myocardial mitochondrial calcium was significantly lower,and the activities of Na+-K+-ATPase, Mg2+-ATPase were significantly higher.CONCLUSION:The protective effect of ethyl acetate extract from Japanese Artactylodes Rhizome on myocardial ischemical reperfusion injury might be achieved through enhancing the activity of myocardial GSH-Px, lowering the content of myocardial mitochondrial calcium and enhancing the activities of Na+-K+-ATPase and Mg2+-ATPase of cellular membranes.

Objective To isolate and determine Aloin and Aloeemodin in Barbodos Aloe by ionic liquid-based ultrasonic-assisted extraction coupled with high performance liquid chromatography, with 1-butyl-3-methylimidazolium chloride ([BMIM]Br) solution as the extraction solvent. Methods The separation was performed on Phenomenex C18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5 μm) with detection wavelength of 360 nm.

Results The calibration curves for Aloin and Aloeemodin were liner within 0.000 336-1.68 μg (r=0.999 96) and 0.000 608-3.04 μg (r=0.999 76), respectively. The limit of detection (LOD) was 0.05 06 ng/mL and 0.262 ng/mL, respectively. The average recovery was 95.99% and 95.80%, respectively. Conclusion The method is simple, rapid, accurate, sensitive, low cost and environment-friendly, thus it provides an effective means for assaying anthraquinones in Barbodos Aloe.

Objective To develop a sensitive and specific HPLC method to simultaneously determine the contents of puerarin, daidzin and daidzein in Puerariae Lobatae Radix. Methods The three compounds were obtained by ionic liquid based on dispersive liquid phase microextraction. The determination was carried out on a Phenomenex C18 column (250 mm×4.6 mm, 5μm) with a mixture of methanol-0.2%acetic acid (volume ration 45∶55) as mobile phase at a flow rate of 0.8 mL/min. The UV detective wavelength was 250 nm, and the column temperature was set at 35 ℃. Results The linear response ranged from 6.24×10-6-37.44 μg for puerarin (r=0.999 71), 5.44×10-6-27.20μg for daidzin (r=0.999 85), and 5.60×10-6-28.00μg for daidzein (r=0.999 94), respectively. Conclusion The method is quick, simple and repeatable for simultaneous determination of the contents of puerarin, daidzin and daidzein in Puerariae Lobatae Radix.

Aim To study the effect of [P-(1-Benzotriazole methl)-Benylacrylic acid sodium,abbreviated for BMBS] on experimental arrhythmias. Methods Arrhythmias models induced by drugs in animals were used to observe the effect of BMBS on experimental arrhythmias. Results BMBS 25,12.5 mg?kg -1 iv markedly increased the dose of aconitine for inducing Ventricular premature beats (VP), ventricular tachycardia (VT) and ventricular fibrillation (VF) in rats, as well as that of ouabain for inducing VP, VT, VF and cardiac arrest (CA) in guinea pigs. Also, it postponed the onset time and shortened the duration of arrhythmias induced by barium chloride in rats and decreased the number of animals showing biphasic arrhythmias. Conclusion BMBS has significant effect on experimental arrhythmias.

Aim To investigate the changes of heme oxygenase-1(HO-1) in cardiomyocytes after acute myocardial infarction and the impact of simvastatin on HO-1 expression in rats.Methods Myocardial infarction models were made by anterior descending coronary artery ligation on male SD rats whereas sham group by spurious ligation.Survivals were randomized into myocardial infarction(MI) group,simvastatin(Sim) group and sham group 24 hours after the operation.The Sim group was treated with simvastatin 40 mg?kg-1?d-1 via gavage till sacrifice.MI and sham groups were gavaged with equal volume of 0.9% NaCl at the same time.Rats were sacrificed at time points of 24 hours,7 days and 28 days after the operation,for the detection of HO-1 mRNA by RT-PCR,HO-1 protein level by Western bolt,activity of superoxide dismutase(SOD) and content of malondialdehyde(MDA) by spectrophotometric method in non-infarcted zone.Results Expression of HO-1 mRNA and protein level increased at 24 hours,peaked at 7 days and decreased to basal levels at 28 days.All the indexes at each time point mentioned above were significantly higher in MI group than those in sham group.At the 7th day and 28 th day after the operation,the indexes were higher in Sim group than those in MI group(P

Objective:To observe the clinical effects of Zuoyu üo. 1(ZY1)in the prevention of concomitant concurrent complica-tions after operation for anorectal diseases. Methods:164 patients who had received operation for anorectal diseases were randomly di-vided into 2 groups. Patients in the treatment group were treated with sitz baths in ZY1 and the conventional wound dressing method. Patients in the control group were treated with sitz baths in warm water and the conventional wound dressing method. Results:The effi-ciency rate of the treatment group was significantly higher than that of the control group(53. 57% vs. 27. 5%,P<0. 05),as well as the total effectiveness(95. 23% vs. 88. 75%,P<0. 05). The comparison showed that better curative effects existed in the treatment group on distress,bleeding,and edema ratings and wound healing time. Conclusion:Sitz bath in ZY1 after operation for anorectal dis-eases reduces complications and shortens the wound healing time without any side effect. It is thus extensively promising in clinical ap-plications.

Objective To compare the effectiveness and safety of Onyx and n-butyl-2-cyanoacryhte (NBCA) for the embolization of cerebral arteriovenous malformations (AVMs).Methods The clinical data of 53 patients with cerebral AVMs (31 in the NBCA group and 22 in the Onyx group) were analyzed retrospectively.The safety and effectiveness of the 1-year follow-up were compared.The size of AVMs (diameters ＜3 cm,3-6 cm,and ＞6 cm) and the Spetzler-Martin grade were used to conduct subgroup analysis.Results There were no significant differences in the baseline data and AVM morphologies.The embolization rate in the Onyx group was significantly higher than that in the NBCA group (P ＜ 0.05),but there were no significant differences in the incidences of postoperative hemorrhage (1/22 vs.1/31;P=1.000)and neurological deficit (1/22 vs.3/31;P=0.633) in the 1-year follow-up after procedure.The subgroup analysis showed that the embolization rates of the small and medium-sized cerebral AVMs in the Onyx group were significantly higher than those in the NBCA group (all P ＜ 0.05),and the embolization rates of cerebral AVMs with different Spetzler-Martin grades in were significantly higher than those in the NBCA group (all P ＜0.05).Conclusion Onyx is equivalent to NBCA in safety but better in efficacy.

Objective To investigate the community psychiatric stigma among schizophrenic patients, to explore the related factors. Methods A total of 480 cases of schizophrenia patients were investigated using the method of Link series of stigma scale. Results A total of 480 questionnaires were issued, 436 valid questionnaires were recovered, and the effective recovery rate was 90.83%. These 436 cases of schizophrenia patients perceived devaluation discrimination subscale scores, confidentiality, separation, withdrawal, education scores of coping style, the score of two dimensions of emotional experience showed statistically significant difference with median score 2.50 of the scale respectively (t=-8.393-7.930, P<0.01). The scores were significantly different in age, marriage, medical treatment among patients perceived devaluation discrimination score and stigma coping scores and the stigma of the emotional experience (P<0.05 or 0.01). Conclusions There was widespread stigma in community patients with schizophrenia, suggesting that mental health intervention should be taken for timely intervention.
