Objective · To observe the vascular structure before autogenous arteriovenous fistula (AVF) construction in patients with end-stage renal disease (ESRD) and analyze the risk factors of the pre-existing venous neointimal hyperplasia. Methods · The 8 vein samples were screened from 20 ESRD patients at their first time of the AVF construction (non-stenosis group), and the other 8 vein samples were screened from 15 ESRD patients at their at least second time of the AVF repair operation (stenosis group). Sections were prepared and stained with hematoxylin & eosin (H-E) or Masson's trichrome for observation. The intimal thickness was measured by the cellSens software, and its correlation with patients' renal function, calcium-phosphorus metabolism, iron metabolism and inflammatory reaction in the non-stenosis group were analyzed. Results · In the non-stenosis group, there were varying degrees of intimal hyperplasia in 5 (62.5%) cases, loss of endothelial cell layer in 3 (37.5%) cases, and vascular wall replacement by collagenous with atrophy or loss of muscle layer in 5 (62.5%) cases. In the stenosis group, almost all vein samples showed general thickening of the wall and 2 (25.0%) totally lost the muscle layer. Avg It of those two groups were statistically significant (P<0.01). In the non-stenosis group, both of average I/M thickness and average I/M area were negatively related to glomerular filtration rate (GFR) (P<0.05) and positively related to serum phosphorus and calcium-phosphorus product (P<0.05). Conclusion · Some apparently normal vein of ESRD patients showed varying degrees of intimal hyperplasia before AVF construction. The intimal hyperplasia had a remarkable correlation with GFR or calcium-phosphorus metabolism. Early intervention of the intimal hyperplasia prior to AVF construction may be a new prevention and control means.

Objective:To study the HPLC fingerprint of Ningxinbao capsules, and establish a method for the simultaneous content determination of uracil, uridine, adenine and adenosine. Methods: The separation was carried out on an Agilent Zorbax SB-Aq C18 column(250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5μm) with gradient elution using methanol-0. 05 mol·L-1 potassium dihydrogen phosphate at 30℃ and at a flow rate of 1. 0 ml·min-1 , the detection wavelength was 212 nm for fingerprint and 260 nm for the determination of the four nu-cleosines. Totally 10 batches of samples were analyzed with the developed HPLC fingerprint and the determination method, the data calculation was performed with similarity evaluation system in the chromatographic fingerprint of TCM. Results: In the fingerprint, 10 common peaks were marked and the separation of the four nucleosines was good. Conclusion:The method is simple and reliable. The HPLC fingerprint and contents of the four nucleosines in Ningxinbao capsules can be used for the quality control.

Object To study the effects of Veratrum nigrum L. var. ussuriense Nakai alkaloids (VnA) on platelet aggregation in rats and coagulation time, bleeding time in mice. Methods The antiplatelet effect of VnA was examined by determining platelet aggregation rate in normal rats and blood stasis model rats by turbidimetric method developed by Born. Whole blood coagulation time (CT) in mice was measured by capillary glass tube method, bleeding time (BT) by hemorrhagic transection of mouse tail model. Results VnA (45, 30, and 15 ?g/kg, iv) significantly inhibited ADP-induced platelet aggregation in rats in a dose-dependent manner. VnA (12.5, 25, 50, and 100 ?g/kg, ip) markedly increased CT and BT in mice. VnA [49.3 ?g/kg, which was anticoagulantly equieffective to heparin (1.25 mg/kg), ip] prolonged BT. There was no statistically significant difference in BT between VnA and heparin, although BT increase induced by VnA was shorter than that induced by heparin. Conclusion VnA has significant antiplatelet effect in rats and can prolong CT and BT in mice. At equieffective dose VnA-induced BT increase does not exceed that heparin induced.

Objective To study the effects of one finger massage on sciatic nerve injury rats. Methods The sciatic nerves were exposed, and the sciatic nerve was held by micro needles to make the sciatic nerve injury model. SD rats were randomly divided into sham-operation group, model group and massage group. In the sham-operation group, the sciatic nerves were exposed but not held. 7 d after the establishment of modeling, rats in massage group received one finger massage for 30 d. After 30 d, SFI and BBB of sciatic nerves were detected. HE staining, transmission electron microscope and immunochemistry assay were used to measure the changes of sciatic nerves. Results Compared with model group, massage group could speed up the recovery of SFI and increase BBB, promote the recovery of sciatic nerve morphology, increased protein level of S-100β, and enhance ultrastructure of newborn nerve growth and recovery. Conclusion One finger massage can effectively promote neurological and functional recovery after sciatic nerve injury in rats.

Addition to fat digestion and absorption, bile acids also act as signaling molecules through activating bile acid receptors. Increasing evidences have shown that bile acid receptors are closely related to the occurrence of gastrointestinal diseases. TGR5 and FXR play important roles in bile acid metabolism, regulation of glucose utilization, control of energy homeostasis and regulation of immune cell function. Both FXR and TGR5 inhibit gastrointestinal inflammation, however, the former negatively regulates intestinal tumorigenesis, while the latter may be positively related with gastrointestinal tumors. This article reviewed the immune regulatory effects of TGR5 and FXR on gastrointestinal tract.

Objective To compare the cumulative analgesic effects of electroacupuncture at Sanyinjiao (SP6), Xuanzhong (GB39) and non-acupoint in treating primary dysmenorrhea. Method By adopting a multi-centered randomized controlled study method, 501 patients recruited from Dongzhimen Hospital of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine, China-Japan Friendship Hospital, Beijing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine of Capital Medical University, First Teaching Hospital of Tianjin University of Traditional Chinese Medicine, Huguosi Hospital of Chinese Medicine of Beijing University of Chinese Medicine and the Outpatient of Shandong University of Traditional Chinese Medicine were randomized into a Sanyinjiao group, a Xuanzhong group, and a non-acupoint group, 167 subjects in each group. The electroacupuncture intervention was applied when dysmenorrhea flared up and the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS) ≥40 mm, with frequency at 2/100 Hz and intensity during patient’s endurance, 30 min each time, once a day, and for successive 3 d. Before the first treatment, 30 min after the first treatment, and respectively prior to the second and third treatment, VAS was used to measure the pain intensity. Meanwhile, the Retrospective Symptom Scale (RSS-COX 2) was investigated before the first treatment, right after the removal of needles for the first treatment, before the second and third treatment. Result The decrease of VAS in Sanyinjiao group was more significant than that in Xuanzhong group and non-acupoint group (MD=﹣2.92 mm, P=0.028; MD=﹣3.47 mm, P=0.009), while there was no significant difference between Xuanzhong group and non-acupoint group (MD=﹣0.56 mm, P=0.674); there were no significant differences in comparing the RSS-COX2 total score among the three groups (P=0.086). Conclusion Sanyinjiao (SP6) can produce a more significant cumulative analgesic effect for primary dysmenorrhea patient than Xuanzhong and non-acupoint, and the effects of Xuanzhong and non-acupoit are equivalent.
