Objective: To establish a HPLC method for in vivo determination of gallic acid (GA) and protocatechuic acid (PA) in rat plasma, and to study the effect of Sandalwood on the pharmacokinetics of GA and PA. Methods: SD rats were given the water extracts of Choerospondiatis fruit or Choerospondiatis fruit and Sandalwood. The pharmacokinetic parameters of GA and PA were calculated by DAS2. 0 software at different time points after an oral ration of the above extracts. Results: The pharmacokinetic parameters after oral administration of Choerospondiatis fruit extract were as follows: GA: Cmax: (0.112±0.008) mg·L-1, CL/F: (0.132±0.016) L·min-1·kg-1, t1/2β: (69.3±0) min, Tmax: (45.0±0) min; PA: Cmax: (0.550±0.028) mg·L-1, Tmax: (52.0±0) min, t1/2β, (60.7±1.1) min; CL/F: (0.078±0.011) L·min-1·kg-1. The pharmacokinetic parameters after oral ration of Choerospondiatis fruit-Sandalwood extract were as follows: GA: Cmax: (0.187±0.010) mg·L-1, CL/F: (0.094±0.017) L·min-1·kg-1, t1/2β: (69.3±3.3) min, Tmax: (30.0±0) min; PA: Cmax: (1.080±0.066) mg·L-1, Tmax: (45.0±0) min, t1/2β: (69.3±0.2) min, CL/F: (0.011±0.001) L·min-1·kg-1. Conclusion: Oral ration of Choerospondiatis fruit-Sandalwood extract results in earlier plasma peaks of PA and GA, lower clearance rate, and longer half life, indicating Sandalwood can promote the absorption of phenolic compounds in Choerospondiatis fruit.

Objective:To study the inhibition of astragaloside on the proliferation of human keloid fibroblasts. Methods: Com-pared with that of normal skin, the expression of transforming growth factor-β( TGF-β) and its transduction factors Smad in the human keloid fibroblasts was detected. The optimal concentration was screened by MTT after HFF-1 human skin fibroblast was infected with astragaloside at different concentrations. The mRNA expression of Smad2, Smad3, Smad4 and Smad7 in the fibroblasts was studied by using real-time. The protein expression of TGF-βRⅡ, Smad2, Smad3, Smad4 and Smad7 in the fibroblasts was detected by using Western blot. Results: Compared with that of normal skin tissue, the expression of Smad protein was significantly increased ( P <0. 05) in the human keloid fibroblasts, and there was no significant difference in the TGF-βRⅡ expression (P>0. 05). The optimal concentration of astragaloside was 0. 5μg·ml-1 . The expression level of Smad2 protein in the two groups was significantly increased, and the level of Smad3 expression was significantly decreased (P<0. 05). Conclusion:Astragaloside can inhibit the formation of fi-broblast possibly through Smad2 over-expression and Smad3 inhibition in the TGF-β/Smad signal transduction pathway.

This article conducted relevant discussion on the significance of rehabilitation of pelvic floor dysfunction based on TCM adjusting qi activity.

Objective To establish a successful model for pancreaticoduodenal allotransplantation with enteric drainage in piglet and surveillance acute rejection by biopsy.Methods We implemented the model same as protocol of clinical pancrease transplantation.40 piglets were divided into donors and recipients randomly.20 times experimental operation were finished. The total pancreas with a short segment of duodenum was transplanted to a recipient by anastomoses of vessels to the recipient iliac vessels and small bowel segment to the jejunum with enteric drainage. During operation, mean arterial pressure(MAP), central venous pressure(CVP)were monitored. The levels of amylase activity in blood were investigated.Doppler color blood flow ultrasonography was used to evaluate blood flow of pancreatic allografts,and ultrasound-guided percutaneous pancreas allograft biopsy and histopathologic examination were performed.Results The successful rate of operation was 90%. Recipient's MAP was decreased after the reopening of inosculated blood vessels.(P

Objective To investigate the relationships between the expressions of intercellular adhesion molecule 1(ICAM-1),heat shock protein 70(HSP70) and acute rejection after pancreas allotransplantation in miniature swine.Methods Ultrasound guided biopsies of the pancreas and histopathologic examination were performed after the miniature swine models of pancreas allotransplantation were established.According to the histological change,the samples were divided into group Ⅰ(no rejection),group Ⅱ(mild acute rejection),group Ⅲ(moderate acute rejection)and group Ⅳ(serious acute rejection).The expressions of ICAM-1 and HSP70 were analyzed with immunohistochemistry and imaging.Results The expressions of ICAM-1 and HSP70 were increased when acute rejection occurred after pancreas allotransplantation in miniature swine.The levels of ICAM-1 and HSP70 were sequentially high when acute rejection was serious.Conclusion ICAM-1 and HSP70 were involved in pancreas allograft rejection and useful for early diagnosis of acute rejection after pancreas transplantation.

Objective:To observe the therapeutic effects of acupuncture plus cupping therapy and Western medication alone for cervical radiculopathy. Methods: A total of 139 patients with cervical radiculopathy were randomly divided based on the random digital table into an acupuncture-cupping group (70 cases) and a Western medication group (69 cases). In the acupuncture-cupping group, Fengchi (GB 20) (bilateral), Dazhui (GV 14), Jianjing (GB 21) (bilateral) and Jiaji (EX-B 2) points of the neck [bilateral, midpoint between Fengchi (GB 20) and Dazhui (GV 14)] were punctured. After the arrival of the needling sensation, bilateral Fengchi (GB 20) and Jianjing (GB 21) were linked with electric stimulation and the rest acupoints were manipulated with the moderate needling technique. In the retaining of the needles, TDP lamp radiation was used. After acupuncture, the cupping therapy was applied to the local area. The treatment was given once every other day, 20 d for a course. After one course, the therapeutic effects were observed. The Western medication group was treated by oral administration of Meloxicam (Mobic), 7.5 mg, once a day, with water and liquid after meal. The therapeutic effects were observed after 20 d. Results:The total effective rate was 92.8% in the acupuncture-cupping group and 73.9% in the Western medication group, with a statistical difference between the two groups (P<0.05). After treatment, the scores of the clinical symptoms of the two groups were obviously declined (P<0.01), and the score of the clinical symptoms of the acupuncture-cupping group was better than that of the Western medication group, with a statistical difference (P<0.05). Conclusion:Acupuncture plus cupping therapy was more effective than administration of Meloxicam tablets alone in the treatment of cervical radiculopathy.

Objective To evaluate the association between serum cystatin C and carotid atherosclerosis in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus.Methods A total of 318 patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus were enrolled in this study.According to the results of carotid color Doppler ultrasound in the patients were randomly divided into two groups:CIMT abnormal group (CIMT was equal to or larger than 0.9 mm,with or without associated with carotid artery plaque formation)CIMT and normal group (CIMT <0.9 mm,and it was not associated with carotid artery atherosclerotic plaque formation.Differences in serum cystatin C,serum lipid and lipoprotein,fasting plasma glucose and other biochemical markers between the two groups were analyzed by using Student's t test.The correlated factors of the carotid thickness and plaque appearance were analyzed by Logistic regression analysis.Results The serum cystatin C levels of the CIMT abnormal group were higher than the normal CIMT group[(1.24 ±0.22)mg/L vs.(1.05 ±0.41)mg/L, t =4.949,P <0.001).Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed adjusted for gender,age and other factors,ser-um cystatin C was independently associated factor of CIMT (OR =2.563,95% CI:1.026 ~6.403,P =0.044). Conclusion Our data suggest that serum cystatin C is significantly associated with carotid atherosclerosis.
