Objective To optimize the extracting process for Weiningsu Capsule.Methods With dry extract rate and naringin content as the inspection indicators,orthogonal test was used to investigate the influence of four extracting factors (water volume,extracting time,times of extracting and soak time of herbal) on the extracting process.Results The optimum extracting process was A3B2C2D3,i.e.the water volume being 10 times of the weight of medicinal material,extraction for two times and 1.5 hours each time,and soaking for 1.5 hours.Conclusion Optimization of extracting process for Weiningsu Capsule by orthogonal test is a simple,quick and accurate method.

We find that there is a correlation among thesize of ventricular septal defect (VSD) (X_2), PaO_2(X_3), V. /V. (X_7) and pulmonary systolic pressure(Y_1), diastolic pressure (Y_2), mean pressure (Y_3)by multivariate stepwise regression analysis, andso there are their parameters in the regression e-quations. The regression equations are Y_1 = 13. 24+ 0. 22X_2 - 0. 09X_3 + 0. 14X_7; Y_2 = 0. 65 + 0. 24X_2+ 0. 12X_7; Y_3 = 3. 54+ 0. 17X_2 + 0. 16X_7. But thecourse of the disease, ∑9 leads QRS dimension,R. /R., L. /L. are non-dominant factors, and sothere are not their parameters in the regression e-quation. The above-mentioned equations mayavoid the patients. with mild, moderate pulmonaryhypertension to have invasive examination, and re-duce its complications.

Objective To investigate the association between podocytes and proteinuria in children with Alport syndrome. Methods Twenty-one children including 13 boys and 8 girls with Alport syndrome were divided into 3 groups according to 24-hour urinary protein, ＜30 mg/kgas the mild proteinuria group (10 patients), 30 to 50 mg/kg as the moderate proteinuria group (4 patients) and ＞50 wg/kg as the heavy proteinuria group (7 patients). The correlation between foot process width and the degree of proteinuria was analyzed. By immunoperoxidase staining on renal tissue, the key slit diaphragm molecules nephrin, podocin and podocyte cytoskeleton-associated molecule synaptopodin were studied. Results The foot process width (420-2270 nm) in patients with Alport syndrome was positively correlated with proteinuria significantly (r=0.765, P＜0.01).Foot process width was significantly lower in patients with mild proteinuria [475 (420-900) nm)compared with that in patients with heavy proteinuria [1520 (480-2270) nm] (P＜0.05). In Alport syndrome children with heavy proteinuria, the distribution of nephrin and podocin changed dramatically. In two children with shorter proteinuria period (1 year), dramatic distribution change of nephrin and podocin occurred, however, the foot process along with synaptopodin preserved.Conclusions Podocyte foot process effacement and injury of slit diaphragm participate in the mechanism of proteinuria in Alport syndrome. The injury of slit diaphragm seems to be an early event in the development of foot process effacement in Alport syndrome, which may guarantee early treatment.

Objective To explore the clinical features and diagnostic method of primary natural killer( NK)/T cell meningeal lymphoma. Methods An unusual case of a 19-year-old male with primary NK/T cell meningeal lymphoma was reported. His clinical presentation and laboratory findings were discussed. The related literatures have been reviewed. Results The patient presented with diplopia,headache, vomiting and facial drooping at the onset, followed by progressive pain and weakness of the four limbs. Cerebrospinal fluid showed significant increase in pressure, leukocytes number, levels of protein,normal glucose and adenosine deaminase, negative tuberculosis antibody and sterile staining. In cerebrospinal fluid cytological analysis, May-Grunwald-Gimsa staining showed large number of atypical lymphocytes with irregular nucleus and nuclear fission, Ki-67 immunostaining showed extensive proliferative activity of the lymphoid cells. Flow cytometric immunophenotypic analysis of cerebrospinal fluid indicated 97. 98 percent of cells expressed surface CD3, CD7, CD56, CD2, CD5, and partially expressed CD8. This was a rare immunophenotype for NK/T-cell. Cranial MRI with gadolinium showed thickening of the trigeminal nerve with slight enhancement and diffuse leptomeningeal enhancement. CT of the chest and abdomen and bone marrow biopsies were negative. He was diagnosed as primary NK/T cell meningeal lymphoma based on the clinical features and related examination. Conclusions Primary NK/T cell meningeal lymphoma is a rare type of primary central nervous lymphomas which has special immunophenotype. The clinical features include progressive raised intra-cranial pressure, multiple cranial and spinal nerve involvements. Cerebrospinal fluid cytological analysis and flow cytometric immunophenotypic analysis are key work-up for diagnosis. It has poor response to chemotherapy and radiotherapy.

OBJECTIVE:To optimize the extraction technology of oligosaccharides of Morinda officinalis. METHODS:The liq-uid/solid ratio,extraction time and temperature were chosen as factors,and the yield of oligosaccharides was estimated as index. On the basis of single-factor experiments,using a 3-factor,3-level Box-behnken central composite experimental design,two-poly-nomial regression equation of extraction rate of oligosaccharide was established,and it was analyzed by response surface methodolo-gy to obtain the optimum extraction conditions,and the verification test was conducted. RESULTS:The optimum extraction condi-tions were as follows as material/liquid ratio of 23∶1(ml/g),extraction time of 1.7 h,and extraction temperature of 93℃,extract-ing for twice. Under these conditions, the estimated and observed average values of extraction rate of oligosaccharides were 10.37% and 10.29%(RSD=0.20%,n=3),respectively. The deviation value was 0.06%. CONCLUSIONS:The response surface methodology can be used to optimize the extraction process of oligosaccharides of M. officinalis.

Objective: To study the difference of the cell proliferation activity and microvessel density (MVD) between hepatic benign and malignant lesions for further demonstrating the biological features of tumor. Methods: There were 290 specimens of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), 128 specimens of cirrhosis tissues and 25 specimens of hepatic benign lesions were detected for PCNA, Ki 67 and MVD by immunohistochemistry on tissue microarray, respectively.Results: The expression level of PCNA and Ki 67 in HCC were 90.2% and 43.1%, which was obviously higher than that in cirrhosis (48.5% and 3.9%, P 0.05). MVD counting in HCC pathological grade Ⅰ Ⅱ(29.9?18.6) was higher than those in gradeⅢ (22.2? 18.2) and Ⅳ(22.9?19.0, P

Objective To investigate the influence of donepezil on neurogenesis in the subventricular zone (SVZ) under the cerebral ischemic conditions. Methods Sixty mice were randomly assigned to a sham +vehicle group, a middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) + vehicle group and a MCAO + donepezil group, 20 in each group. A model of MCAO was established. Neural stem cells/progenitor cells were labeled by Mash1, and neuroblasts were labeled by doublecortin (DCX). The expressions of DCX in the SVZ cells of each group were detected by immunofluorescence. The expressions of Mash1 and DCX in the SVZ cells of each group were quantified by Western blot. Results 10 days after MCAO was undergone, DCX-positive cells were seen in the SVZ of each group, and the expressions of DCX and Mash1 in MCAO + vehicle group were markedly increased as compared with the sham + vehicle group (P < 0.05), and that in MCAO + donepezil group were significantly increased as compared with the other two groups (P < 0.05). Conclusion As a kind of acetylcholinesterase inhibitors, donepezil can promote neurogenesis in SVZ under the cerebral ischemic conditions.

Objective To investigate the diagnostic value of texture analysis derived from conventional MR imaging in differentiating benign and malignant breast lesions. Methods Thirty-six patients with malignant breast lesion and 33 patients with benign breast lesion were retrospectively analyzed in our study. All patients underwent conventional MR imaging including axial T1WI, T2WI, and contrast-enhanced T1WI before surgery. Texture features were calculated from manually drawn ROIs by using MaZda software. The feature selection methods included mutual information (MI), Fishers coefficient, classification error probability combined with average correlation coefficients (POE + ACC) and the combination of the above three methods(FPM). These methods were used to identify the most significant texture features in discriminating benign breast lesion from malignant breast lesion. The statistical methods including raw data analysis (RDA), principal component analysis (PCA), linear discriminant analysis (LDA) and nonlinear discriminant analysis (NDA) were used to distinguish malignant breast lesion from benign breast lesion. The results were shown by misclassification rate. Results In the three kinds of sequences, the texture features for differentiating malignant breast lesion and benign breast lesion were mainly from T2WI which had the lowest misclassification rate 4.35%(3/69). The misclassification rates of the feature selection methods were similar in MI, Fisher coefficient and POE+ACC (15.94%to 56.52%for MI;17.39%to 56.52%for Fisher coefficient and 17.39%to 56.52%for POE+ACC). However, the misclassification rate of the combination of the three methods (4.35%to 53.62%for FPM) was lower than that of any other kind of method. In the statistical methods, NDA (4.35% to 27.54%) had lower misclassification rate than RDA (33.33% to 56.52%), PCA (33.33% to 53.62%) and LDA (15.94% to 44.93%). Conclusion Texture analysis of conventional MR imaging can provide reliably objective basis for differentiating benign from malignant breast lesions.
