Objective To observe the analgesic effect of Qilong Toutong Granule and explore its underlying mechanisms of action. Methods Kunming mice were randomly divided into blank group, Zhengtian pill group, ibuprofen group, and high-, medium- and low-dose of Qilong Toutong Granule groups. After completing the prophylactic treatment for 3 days, hot-plate test and acetic acid-induced writhing test were used to observe the pain reaction of mice. SD rats were randomly divided into blank group, Zhengtian pill group, model group, rizatriptam group, and high-, medium- and low-dose of Qilong Toutong Granule groups. After gavaged for continuous 7 days, rats were intraperitoneally injected nitroglycerin (10 mg/kg), and 4 hours later, blood samples were collected from postcava for measuring the levels of plasma CGRP and β-EP by radioimmunoassay. Subsequently, rats were perfused transcardially and the brain tissues containing the trigeminal nucleus caudalis (Sp5C) were achieved for detecting the expression of Fos protein by immunohistochemical method. Results Qilong Toutong Granule significantly raised the pain threshold, reduced the number of writhing response of mice, remarkably down-regulated the levels of plasma CGRP, up-regulated the levels of plasmaβ-EP and inhibited the expression of Fos protein in Sp5C of rats compared with the model group. Conclusion Qilong Toutong Granule has good analgesic effect and its mechanisms on relieving migraine may be through regulating the levels of neurotransmitters or neuropeptides, and inhibiting the activation of Fos pathway.

Objective To investigate the value of low positive AFP level for the diagnosis of hepatocellular carcinoma(HCC)when a space occuping lesion was already identified in the liver.Methods The AFP level of 401 HCC cases from January 1999 to October 2006 were retrospectively analyzed.Results 22 cases of small liver cancer underwent reducing surgical resection in our hospital,increasing the quality of life and prolonging survival rate.Con- clusion(1)The AFP level between 20 and 200?g/L is of diagnostic for HCC when a SOL is identified.(2)The clinical reference diagnostic criteria using AFP level more than 20?g/L,instead of more than 200?g/L is helpful for the diagnosis.(3)Combined diagnosis of AFP level more than 20?g/L and ultrasonography or CT scanning yields higher sensitivity and specificity th.an traditional,diagnostic criteria.

Objective To establish an appropriate cut-off value of high sensitivity cardiac troponin T (hs-cTnT) and optimal combination measurement in the early diagnosis of acute myocardial infarction (AMI).Methods This research is a prospective study.342 patients admitted to emergency department with chest pain,43 patients with renal failure,40 patients with pneumonia and 18 premature with patent ductus arteriosus were involved from June 2012 to June 2013 in Peking University Third Hospital.The plasma hs-TnT,NT-proBNP,cardiac troponin Ⅰ (cTnI),CK-MB and copeptin were measured.The distribution of hs-cTnT among associated diseases was analyzed,the diagnostic performance of hs-cTnT and the role of combination hs-cTnT with NT-proBNP,CK-MB and copeptin were evaluated by receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve.The statistical method was used to calculate the Sensitivity,specificity,negative predictive value and positive predictive value of hs-cTnT in the diagnosis of AMI.Results As compared to patients with STEMI(median 0.52 μg/L,range 0.037-7.610 μg/L),hs-cTnT was lower in the patients with Non-STEMI(median 0.127 5 μg/L,range 0.021-4.260 μg/L).However,the levels of hs-TnT in other diseases were also increased increased in varyng degrees (Chi-square =76.432,P ＜ 0.05)The areas under the curve (AUC) for hs-cTnT and cTnI in the diagnosis of AMI were 0.862 (95％ CI:0.729-0.928) and 0.748 (95％ CI0.666-0.818) respectively (Z =2.713,P ＜ 0.05).Taking 0.014μg/L and 0.035 μg/L as cut-off value of hs-TNT,the sensitivities were 100％ vs 95.1％,the specificities were 44.4％ vs 65.7％.The combination of hs-cTnT,NT-proBNP,CK-MB resulted in a increase in AUC (0.915,95％ CI:0.838-0.964) (Z =2.147,P ＜ 0.05) and the combination of hs-cTnT and copeptin resulted in a increase in AUC 0.921 (95％ CI:0.820-0.975) (Z =2.589,P ＜ 0.05).Conclusion With the cut-off value of 0.035 μg/L for diagnosis of AMI was appropriate,and the combination measurement can improve the accuracy of early diagnosis of AMI.

The enzyme activity of α－Acetolactate Decaroboxylases (ALDC)from different microbes was studied, the results demonstrated that it was quite different among them. There were diversities of their enzyme reaction velocities. It was clear that the enzyme activity was affected by the pH of the enzyme reaction system, for example, the optimum pH of ALDC from Lactococcus lactis was 6.6, while for Aerobacter Aerogenes it was 5.8. Addition leucine,valine and isoleucine into enzyme reaction system obviously affected the enzyme activity of ALDC from different microbes.

Objective To study the effects of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO) preconditioning (PC) on motor function and mitochondrial apoptosis after spinal cord injury (SCI) in rats.Methods Thirty-six healthy,male Wistar rats were randomly divided into 3 groups (each n =12):a control (CON) group,an SCI model group and an HBO-PC group.The SCI group and the HBO-PC group after 7 sessions of HBO-PC treatment were subjected to SCI modeling using Allen's method.The CON group was not given any special treatment.Two weeks after the modeling,Basso,Beattie,and Bresnahan BBB scale was used to rate the rats' locomotor function,and the T8 segment of the rats' spinal cords was removed.After extracting total RNA from the spinal cord tissue,real-time quantitative PCR was used to detect the mRNA expression levels ofcaspase-3,cytochrome C (CYC),Bak,Bax,Bcl-x and Bcl-2 in the spinal cord tissue.Results Two weeks after modeling,compared with the CON group,the average BBB locomotion score of the SCI model group had decreased.In contrast,caspase-3,CYC,Bak and Bax mRNA expressions had increased significantly.Compared with the CON group,the average BBB locomotion score of the HBO-PC group had decreased,caspase-3 expression had increased,and Bax mRNA expression had decreased,but the differences in the changes between the two groups were not statistically significant.Bak mRNA expression increased and CYC expression decreased,and the difference between the two groups was statistically significant.Compared with the SCI model group,the average BBB locomotion score of the HBO-PC group increased while caspase-3,CYC,Bak and Bax mRNA expressions decreased,but none of these differences between the two groups was statistically significant.Bak mRNA expression increased and CYC mRNA expression decreased,and those differences between the two groups were statistically significant.Bcl-x and Bcl-2 mRNA expression in the CON,HBO-PC and SCI model groups were significantly different.Conclusion HBO-PC can reduce the loss of motor function after SCI,at least in rats.The mechanism may be related to reducing neuron mitochondrial apoptosis.

Objective To investigate the value of parametric imaging of CEUS in uterine fibroids with different signal intensity on T2WI by high intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU),and dynamic vascular pattern (DVP).Methods Totally 16 patients with single uterine fibroids were divided into high intensity group (n=6),isointensity group (n=4) and low intensity group (n=6) according the signal intensity on T2WI before HIFU treatment.CEUS were performed on each patient.SonoLive CAP software was used to analyze the CEUS images and DVP parametric images were reconstructed.Results The maximum intensity,rising time,time to peak and mean transit time were (235.40± 35.46)％,(22.80± 3.16)s,(25.09±2.44)s,(125.78 ± 27.63)s in high intensity group,(71.97± 2.43) ％,(24.85±3.22)s,(32.81±3.92)s,(66.52±3.48)s in isointensity group and (16.17±2.83) ％,(25.42±2.66)s,(32.82±3.76)s,(64.27±3.33)s in low intensity group.There were statistically significant differences among three groups (all P＜0.05).DVP curve was divided into two types:non-washout in high intensity group and cystic type in low intensity group.Conclusion CEUS and DVP imaging can directly quantitively display the difference of blood perfusion among the uterine fibroids with different signal intensity on T2WI which can provide important information for HIFU treatment in uterine fibroids.

Objective: To evaluate value of application of intravascular ultrasound imaging (IVUS) in diagnosing borderline lesions in left anterior descending artery (LAD) and left main coronary artery (LM). Methods: According to results of coronary angiography (CAG) in 60 cases with coronary borderline lesions, including 20 cases in LM, 20 cases in proximal segment of LAD and 20 cases in middle segment of LAD, the diagnostic value of IVUS in coronary borderline lesion was evaluated. Results: Compared with CAG, mean diameter stenosis rate of each coronary artery [LM: (65.3l±7.81) % vs. (75.28±8.89) %，proximal segment of LAD: (66.67±8.79) % vs. (78.89±7.88) %，middle segment of LAD: (71.55±6.83) % vs. (75.3l±7.81) %, P<0.01 all] significantly increased in IVUS. The differences of detection rate of plaque calcification and plaque rupture were no significant between CAG and IVUS（＞0.05）. Conclusion: Different degrees of underestimation of coronary artery stenosis exist in CAG, especially in proximal segment of LAD. IVUS can be an effective complement to CAG.
