OBJECTIVE:To optimize ultrasonic extraction technology for polysaccharide from Aconiti lateralis radix praepara-ta(ALRP). METHODS:Uniform design method was applied to investigate the effects of liquid material ratio,ultrasonic time and ultrasonic temperature on extraction rate of polysaccharide from ALRP. Verification test was conducted and compared with the re-sults of conventional decoction and boiling method. RESULTS:Optimized ultrasonic extraction technology was as follow as liquid material ratio of 10 mL/g,ultrasonic time of 34 min and ultrasonic temperature of 73 ℃. The polysaccharide extraction rate in veri-fication test was 19.05%(RSD=0.60%,n=3),relative error of the predicted value (19.44%) was 2.0%,while the extraction rate was higher than decoction and boiling method(16.42%). CONCLUSIONS:Optimized ultrasonic extraction technology is sim-ple,rapid and stable with high extraction rate,which is suitable for extracting polysaccharide from ALRP.

Objective:To investigate the distribution of abnormal eating behaviors among middle school girls in Beijing and the psychological factors having influence on these behaviors Methods: HDI and ESC-21 were used to investigate 636 female middle school students in Beijing Results: (1) According to the BMI of the subjects, 80 3% of the subjects answered that they had paid attention to their weight and stature (2) The mean BMI of the subjects were 19 38, which is in the normal range, but their ideal body mass index(IBMI)was lower than the normal standard (IBIM

Objective To evaluate the utility of carbapenem inactivation method (CIM) in detecting carbapenemase-producing Acinetobacter baumannii.Methods A total of 121 strains of A. baumannii were identified and subjected to antimicrobial susceptibility testing by VITEK compact. Carbapenem inactivation method (CIM) was applied to detect the carbapenemase in the A. baumannii strains. The OXA-23 type carbapenemase-encoding genes were analyzed by common PCR method.Results Six-eight of the 121 strains showed resistance to imipenem and meropenem. PCR showed that 65 of the 68 strains carried OXA-23 gene. CIM was positive in 66 of the 68 strains. And 52 of the 121A. baumannii strains were susceptible to imipenem and meropenem. PCR showed that OXA-23 gene was negative in 49 of the 52 strains. CIM was negative in the 52 strains of non-carbapenemase-producing A. baumannii. Only one strain was resistant to imipenem but susceptible to meropenem. CIM was negative but QXA-23 was positive for this strain. The sensitivity and the specificity of CIM was 94.2% and 98.1% respectively in detecting carbapenemase-producing A. baumannii.Conclusions The results of CIM were consistent with the results obtained by PCR to detect the encoding gene of OXA-23. CIM is inexpensive, easier to operate and interpret than PCR method. CIM is applicable to detect OXA-23 type carbapenemase rapidly inA. baumannii.

We have carried out experiment design and comment,and students write the reports of experiment design in patho- physilolgy teaching from the aspects of basic process of experiment research and basic factors,principle and meaning of experi- ment design.By way of the teaching reform,the major position of students in studying is established,students' ability to study in- dependently and acquire knowledge actively are well cultivated,their comprehensive quality are enhanced and the teachers con- struction is also promoted.

OBJECTIVETo explore the effect of 3-n-butylphthalide pretreatment on the delayed neuronal death(DND) and the expreesion of heat shock protein70 (HSP70) in rat hippocampus after ischemia/ reperfusion.

METHODSAll rats were randomly divided into sham group (n = 36), total cerebral ischemia (TCI) group (n = 36), butylphthalide (NBP) group (n = 6), NBP + TCI group( n = 36), quercetin + NBP + TCI group (n = 6), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) + NBP + TCI group (n = 6). The model of total cerebral ischemia/reperfusion was established by blocking vertebral arteries and carotid arteries. In sham group, TCI group and NBP group, the animals were further divided into instantly, 6 h, 12 h, 1 d, 3 d, 5 d groups according to the time interval after sham operation or TCI. Histological changes of the hippocampus were evaluated using thionin staining under light microscope by determining the delayed neuronal death (DND) and the expression of HSP70 was assayed using immunohistochemistry.

RESULTSNBP pretreatment could reduce delayed neuronal death in CA1 of hippocampus induced by TCI-reperfusion injury in rats, and up-regulated the expression of HSP70 in CA1 hippocampus of brain ischemic/reperfusion for 5 days. Quercetin blocked the acquirement of the brain ischemic tolerance induced by NBP preconditioning.

CONCLUSION3-n-butylphthalide (NBP) prevents the neurons from ischemia/reperfusion injury through upregulating the expression of HSP70.

Objective To explore the intervention effect of emodin on organophosphorus poisoning induced respiratory failure.Methods 60 male Wistar rats of clean grade were randomly divided into:normal control group, model control group, positive drug group and emodin group, with 15 rats in each group.Except the normal control group rats were given intraperitoneal anesthesia, the right common carotid artery intubation, when rats stayed awake began a septic model.Blood gas analysis and serum level of oxygen free radicals and respiratory rate were compared before poisoning, respiratory failure, intervention of 5, 10, 30 min.Results Mouth breathing, slow respiratory frequency and cyanosis, appeared after exposure.Respiratory frequency decreased after exposure , compared with the positive drug group, respiratory frequency of emodin group 10 min and 30 min was higher ( P<0.05), PaO2, SaO2, BE decreased, PaCO2 increased after respiratory failure, Compared with the positive drug group, PaO2, PaCO2, SaO2 and BE of emodin group for the treatment of 10 min, 30 min was higher,(P <0.05).The level of oxygen free radicals in rats of each group had no significant difference before the exposure and the respiratory failure.Compared with the positive drug group, SOD and MDA of emodin group in 30 min after intervention were higher,( P<0.05 ) .Conclusion Emodin can improve the respiratory frequency of organic phosphorus poisoning induced respiratory failure ,improve blood gas analysis of the indicators and the level of oxygen free radicals.

Conclusion The method is easy and reasonable to handle,has stable and reliable results,and good repeatability and feasibility.It can be applied in industrial production.

Objective To observe the clinical efficacy of acupuncture plus He-Ne laser irradiation in treating cervical spondylotic radiculopathy (CSR) and to provide evidence for optimizing the treatment protocol. Method Totally 120 CSR patients were randomized into group A, group B, and group C, 40 in each group. Group A was intervened by acupuncture plus He-Ne laser irradiation, group B was by acupuncture alone, and group C was by the laser irradiation alone. The CSR rating scale was adopted for observation before and after intervention, and the therapeutic efficacy was also evaluated.Result The CSR rating score was changed significantly in all of the three groups after intervention (P<0.05). The change of CSR rating score in group A was significantly different from that in both group B and C (P<0.05). The total effective rate was 97.5% in group A, versus 92.5% in group C and 80.0% in group C, and the total effective rate of group A was significantly different from that in both group B and C (P<0.05).Conclusion Acupuncture plus He-Ne laser irradiation is an effective method in treating CSR.
