Objective:To observe the effects of Chinese herb baicalin on proliferation and cell cycle of periodontal ligament cells(PDLC) by stimulation of lipopolysaccharide(LPS) in vitro.Methods:Human PDLC was cultured in vitro.MTT colormetic method was used to evaluate the effects of Chinese herb baicalin on proliferation of PDLC by stimulation of LPS.Flow cytometry was used to analyze the possible DNA index and cellular cycle changes of PDLC.Results:PDLC showed a significant growth inhibition after being treaded with 100 ?g/ml LPS 3 h by MTT methods,and proliferation ability of PDLC improved greatly after adding baicalin.FCM results showed that the cell number increased in G1 phase,while the cell number decreased in S phase at 12 h after treated with 100 ?g/ml LPS,but the cell number decreased in G1 phase,and increased in S phase after treated with Chinese baicalin.Conclusion:Chinese herb baicalin can significantly promote the proliferation of PDLC.It can make some static cell in G1 phase enter S phrase and improve the growth of human PDLC.

AIM: A methond was established for the determination of emodin and chrysophanol in Zhenhuang Powder (Margarita, Radix et Rhizoma Rhei, artificial Calculus Bovis, etc.). METHODS: RP HPLC was used for samples separated on a shim pack VP ODS column with the mobile phase of methanol-0.1% H 3PO 4(85∶15) and the detection wavelength was set at 430nm. RESULTS: The calibration curves were linear in the range of 0.01181～4.724?g( r =0.9994) for emodin and in the range of 0.01300～5.200?g( r =0.9999) for chrysophanol, respectively. The average recoveries were 99.0%( RSD =1.23%, n =5) and 100.5% ( RSD =1.06%, n =5), respectively. CONCLUSION: The method is simple, realizable and reproducible. It can be used effectively for the quality control of Zhenhuang Powder.

Objective:To establish a detection method for residual toluene in diclofenac sodium raw material by GC. Methods:An HP-5 column (0. 53 mm × 30 m, 2. 65 μm) with nitrogen as the carrier gas was employed for the separation. The temperature of the column, injection port and FID detector was set at 50℃, 200℃ and 250℃, respectively. An internal standard method with isooctane as the internal standard was used to assay the residual amount after the sample was dissolved in DMSO. Results:The linear calibration curve was obtained over the range of 9. 27-111. 19μg·ml-1(r=0. 999 4). The mean recovery was 97. 27%(RSD=2. 80%,n=9). The LOD and LOQ was 0. 59μg·ml-1 and 1. 46μg·ml-1 , respectively. The residual contents of toluene in 3 batches of the products all met the relevant regulations. Conclusion:The established method is reliable and accurate, and can be used in the quality control of diclofenac sodium.

Combined with the partial least square regression, the oc tane number (RON), density, temperature evaporate (50%,90%), aromatics and olefi n concentration of gasoline were determined by the Fourier transform infrared spe ctroscopy at the wavenumber region of 1550～660cm－1. The experimenta l results showed that the actual values measured by the standard method were agre e with the prediction values by the proposed method.

Objective To describe uncertainty in illness of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma intending to undergo transcatheter artery chemoembolization (TACE) and to identify the related factors. Methods A descriptive and correlative design was used. By convenience sampling, 95 patients with hepatocellular carcinoma were recruited from Sun Yat-Sen University Cancer Center in this study. Mishel Uncertainty in Illness Scale was used to assess uncertainty in illness and information needs of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma intending to undergo TACE and the demographic questionnaire and Information Needs Assessment Scale were used to measure demographic data, disease and treatment characteristics and information needs of patients. Results The level of uncertainty in illness in most patients with hepatocellular carcinoma intending to undergo TACE was middle (77.61±9.15) points. The mean score of indeterminacy subscale was (50.16 ± 6.16) points. Uncertainty in illness of patients with hepatocellular carcinoma intending to undergo TACE was affected by the degree of education background, domicile, family economic status, way to pay for the medical expenses, course of diseases, how many times he (she) used to undergo assisted treatments and the level of information needs. Conclusions The level of uncertainty in illness in most patients with hepatocellular carcinoma intending to undergo TACE was middle and it is important to assess patients′uncertainty in illness at clinical work and to take effective interventions to content patients′information needs to decrease the level of uncertainty.

Objective To assess the relationship between the HLA gene sharing of couples and gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM). Methods Thirty GDM women and their husbands served as study group, 40 normal pregnant women and their husbands were selected as control group. All pregnant women were primipara with single fetus. 5 ml cubital venous blood were taken. Genomic DNA was extracted using phenol chloroform method. HLA-DRB alleles type were determined with PCR-SSP. Results The sharing of HLA-DRB1 between couples in GDM group were 33.33%, significantly higher than that of normal pregnancy(12.50%)(P0.05). Conclusions The sharing of HLA-DRB1 between couples may inerease the risk of GDM, It suggested that placenta- and-fetus unit may play roles in GDM.
