Objective:To study the effects of n-Butanol Extract (BEX)of Xanthoceras Sorbifolia Bunge on rat model with adjuvant arthritis(AA) in rats and its mechanism .Methods: Rat model of adjuvant arthritis(AA) was induced by FCA. Hind paw swelling was observed to evaluate the effect of BEX and phagocytic function of monocyte-macrophage system, antibody level and delayed hypersensitivity were examined to explore its mechanism. Results: BEX can inhibit the primary and secondary hind paw edema and improve the general symptoms (P

The effect of histamine on cardial vascular ,gland,tumor and allergic reaction were reviewed and the development of its antagonist is summarized.

AIM: To study the pharmadynamics in association with the clinical effect of Fufangdaqinye Mixture. METHODS: The method of this study included anti fever, anti inflammatory and anti bacteria experiment. RESULTS: Fufangdaqinye Mixture was quite effective for the fever induced by endotoxin in rabbit, and preserved those mice from death caused by abdominal injection of staphylococcus aureus and itemophilus influenze and had a effect against staphylococcus aures, hemophilus influenze, peumococcus and streptococcus A and B. Fufangdaqinye Mixture could significantly inhibit the foot swelling and significantly inhibit the increased penetrability of abdominal capillary vessel induced. CONCLUSION: Fufangdaqinye Mixture has a curative effect of anti fever, anti bacteria and anti inflammation.

Nonunion remains a major complication after skeletal trauma. In the last decade, extracorporeal shock wave therapy has become a common tool for the treatment of delayed unions or non-unions. With the help of a review of the literature, the current author gave an overview of indications, choices of devices, success rates and complications for ESWT in the treatment of non-unions. The conceivable mechanism was also outlined.

Fifty Cases of chronic B—hepatitis were treated withTCM based on differentiation of syndromes and com-pared with a control group of 50 cases treated withwestern remedies.Results showed that for the treatinggroup,the rate of negative return of HBeAg was64%,and the rate of positive return of HBe was 48%,while that of the control group were 20% and 10% re-spectively.

OBJECTIVE: To determine imperatorin as the active ingredient of Angelica dahuricae in Jiedu tongqiao pills by HPLC. METHODS: The separation was performed on Waters Symmetryshielb33 C18(250 mm?4.6 mm,5 ?m) column with detection wavelength of 248 nm. The mobile phase consisted of methanol-water (65 ∶ 35) with flow rate of 1.0 mL?min-1.RESULTS:The linear range of imperatirin were 0.15～1.35 ?g. The average recovery was 100.4%(RSD=1.89%,n=9).CONCLUSION: The method is simple, accurate and reproducible for quality control of Jiedu tongqiao pills.

Objective To investigate the biokinetics of 131 I and its absorbed dose in patients with metastatic DTC. Methods Forty?one patients with metastatic DTC who were referred to 131 I therapy were prospectively recruited from September 2009 to September 2011. Scintigraphic images were serially acquired after the ingestion of 131I (3.70-9.25 GBq) to assess the biokinetics. CT was used to measure the masses of the DTC lesions. Calculation of absorbed doses to DTC lesions was based on the Medical Internal Radiation Dosimetry formula of the Society of Nuclear Medicine and Molecular Imaging. Kruskal?Wallis rank sum test was used to compare the differences of absorbed dose among different tumor deposits. Results In total, 59 io?dine?avid metastatic lesions (35 in cervical lymph node, 17 in lung and 7 in bone) in 41 patients were evalu?ated and the mean absorbed dose of DTC lesions was (10.4±6.5) Gy/GBq, with range of 0.1 to 136.2 Gy/GBq. The median absorbed dose was 11.3 Gy/GBq for lymph node metastase, 10.1 Gy/GBq for lung metastases and 9.6 Gy/GBq for bone metastases. There were no statistically significant differences in absorbed doses a?mong the metastases of lymph node, lung and bone ( Z=0.907, P>0.05) . Conclusion A wide inter?lesion variation of absorbed dose to metastatic DTC is observed.

Diagnostic whole body scan (Dx-WBS) with 131I and serum Tg level are the main parameters to evaluate the effectiveness of thyroid remnant ablation in patients with DTC.Undetectable Tg and positive radioiodine uptake in the thyroid bed (Tg-/Dx-WBS+) may be found in some patients.However,the clinical significance is uncertain.A small amount of thyroidal remnant,a small DTC lesion,increased expression of NIS gene and autoimmune inflammation may all result in Tg-/Dx-WBS+.A wait-and-watch approach without rushing for high-dose radioiodine treatment might be a more reasonable approach for these patients.

Objective To compare the short-term efficacy of pylorus-preserving pancreaticoduodenectomy (PPPD) and standard pancreaticoduodenectomy (SPD) for the treatment of periampullary carcinoma.Methods The clinical data of 85 patients with periampullary carcinoma who were admitted to the Zhongshan Hospital of Fudan University from October 2010 to October 2012 were retrospectively analyzed.Forty-four patients who underwent PPPD were divided into the PPPD group and 41 patients who underwent SPD were divided into the SPD group.The pancreatic fistula(Grade B and above), biliary fistula, blood loss, intra-abdominal infection, delayed gastric emptying (DGE) and prognosis were analyzed.Patients were followed up by telephone interview and outpatient examination once every 3 months within postoperative 1 year and once every 6 months within postoperative 2-3 years till October 2014.Count data were analyzed using the chi-square test, measurement data with normal distribution were presented as M(Qn) and comparison was analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test.The survival curve was drawn by the Kaplan-Meier method, and survival rate was analyzed using the Log rank test.Results The operation time was 195 minutes (180 minutes, 240 minutes) in the PPPD group and 210 minutes (180 minutes,300 minutes) in the SPD group, with a significant difference (Z =-2.090, P ＜ 0.05).The volume of intraoperative blood loss, intraoperative blood transfusion and duration of postoperative hospital stay were 200 mL(113 mL,288 mL), 0 mL(0 mL, 0 mL) and 17 days(12 days, 24 days) in the PPPD group, and 200 mL(150 mL, 325 mL),0 mL(0 mL, 400 mL) and 16 days(12 days, 30 days) in the SPD group respectively, with no significant differences between the 2 groups (Z =-1.185,-1.780,-0.533, P ＞0.05).There was no perioperative death and incidence of overall complication was 42.4％ (36/85) with pancreatic fistula, intra-abdominal infection and DGE as the top 3 common postoperative complications.The incidence of DGE was 20.5％ (9/44) in the PPPD group,which was significantly different from 4.9％ (2/41) in the SPD group (x2=4.571, P ＜ 0.05).The incidence of pancreatic fistula, biliary fistula, intra-abdominal infection, postoperative bleeding and 2 or more complications were 20.5 ％ (9/44), 2.3 ％ (1/44), 15.9％ (7/44), 4.5 ％ (2/44), 25.0％ (11/44) in the PPPD group, and 14.6％ (6/41), 4.9％ (2/41), 19.5％ (8/41), 7.3％ (3/41), 14.6％ (6/41) in the SPD group, respectively, showing no significant difference between the 2 groups (x2=0.495, 0.423, 0.295, 0.190, 1.425, P ＞ 0.05).Eighty-five patients were followed up for 6-47 months with a median time of 31 months, and postoperative overall 1-and 3-year survival rates were 95.3％ and 75.5％, respectively.The 1-and 3-year survival rates were 97.7％ and 78.9％ in the PPPD group, and 92.7％ and 71.7％ in the SPD group, respectively, with no significant difference in 3-year survival rate (x2=0.690, P ＞0.05).The 3-year overall survival rate was 80.5％ in patients without lymph node involvement (LNI) compared with 54.9％ in patients with LNI, showing a significant difference (x2=4.290, P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Both PPPD and SPD have good short-term efficacy for periampullary carcinoma.There is no significant difference between PPPD and SPD concerning short-term survival rate of periampullary carcinoma.PPPD has shorter operation time, but has a higher postoperative DGE incidence.LNI is a significant prognostic factor for short-term survival of periampullary carcinoma.PPPD is not recommended while the lymph nodes are involved.
