This paper presents plasma exchange(P.E) therapy in 8 cases of four types of immunic diseaes. The colony forming unit-T lymphocyte (TL-CFU), the symbol T-cell subsets with monoclone antibody (McAb), and the cisrculating immune complex (CIC)were examined before and after the therapy of P.E. and compared with the interelationship of each other. The experiments indicated that plasmapheresis may remove the CIC and noxious autoantibodies and regulation of the action of cellular immunity. All these functions are synthetic therapeutic effects. The indices of checkup on therapeutics were: TL-CFU, CIC and the ratio of T_H and T_S. After plasmaphersis, the ratio of CIC was lowered but the TL was higer than before (P

Chrysophanol showed a good linear relationship in the range of 0.032-0.160 μg (r=0.999 8). Conclusion The established method is simple, feasible and reproducible, and can be used for the quality control of Shutongantai Capsules.

Objective To build a method for determination of berberine, epiberberine, coptisine and palmatine in Shutongantai Capsules by HPLC.Methods Thermo C18 column (5μm, 4.0 mm× 250 mm) was used with acetonitrile-0.05 mol/L potassium dihydrogen phosphate solution (50∶50, 0.4 g sodium dodecyl sulfate was added in each 100 mL solution, to adjust the pH 4.0 with phosphoric acid) as mobile phase;the flow rate was 1.0 mL/min;detection wavelength was 345 nm;column temperature was 30℃.Results Berberine hydrochloride showed a good linear relationship in the range of 0.180 34-0.901 68μg (r=0.999 8).Conclusion The method is simple, accurate and reproducible, and can be used for the quality control of Shutongantai Capsules.

AIM To investigate whether tubeimosides induce apoptosis in CNE-2Z. METHODS Growth inhibition by tubeimosides was measured using MTT assay. The effect of tubeimosides on apoptosis induction of CNE-2Z cell line was studied by the fluorescent microscopy, electronic microscopy, DNA agarose gel electrophoresis, flow cytometry analysis. Western blotting was performed for detecting the apoptosis-related gene. RESULTS The growth of CNE-2Z cells was inhibited obviously by tubeimosides. CNE-2Z cells showed typical apoptotic features observed by fluorescent microscopy, electronic microscopy. DNA fragmentation into multiples of low molecular weight DNA(180～200 bp) was detected by agarose gel electrophoresis of DNA; Sub-G 1 peak was found by flow cytometry analysis, and the apoptosis index was 58 0%. The expression of bcl-2, inhibitor of apoptosis, decreased apparently; while that of bax, inducer of apoptosis, increased notably at 1, 3, 5 h after the addition of tubeimosides. The cleavage of caspase-3 was noticed at 1, 3, 5 h after the treatment of tubeimosides. CONCLUSION Tubeimosides could induce the apoptosis of CNE-2Z cells. The induction of apoptotic by tubeimosides was closely associated with bcl-2, bax and caspase-3.

Objective To study the effect of active ingredients(saikosaponin) of bupleurum chinensis D C.on GABA of hippocampus of chronic kindling induced by pentylenetetrazol(PTZ) in rats.Methods Forty-eight healthy Sprague-Dawley rats were randomly divided into six groups with eight in each group: normal control(Group A), normal saline(NS) group(Group B),sodium valproate(VPA) group(Group C),group of large-dose saikosaponin(Group D),group of medium-dose saikosaponin(Group E),and group of small-dose saikosaponin(Group F).Except Group A to be controlled,the other groups were given different treatments when chronically kindled by PTZ.The process of the test lasted for 4 weeks.After 4 weeks' administration the brain tissues were sampled,sliced and stained by enzyme immunohistochemistry(EIH).The results were analyzed according to the positive cell population and gray value.Results The positive cell population of CA1,CA2 and DG in group B was significantly different from that in the other groups(P

Objective To study the potential antidepressive-like effect of tetramethylpyrazine (TMP). Methods Forced-swimming and chronic mild stress (CMS) tests were performed to assess the antidepressant-like activity of TMP. Male Sprague-Dawley (SD) strain rats were divided into six matched groups (n= 13 or 14 in each group) based on their sucrose consumption:control, CMS, CMS + fluoxetine, and CMS + TMP groups. The rats except control were housed separately in different rooms, and the rat model of depression was established by exposing to an unpredictable sequence of stressors for 28 days; the rats in CMS + fluoxetine were exposed to CMS and received administration of FLU (2.0 mg· kg-1·d-1 ,ig) for 28 days; the rats in CMS + TMP groups were exposed to CMS and received administration of TMP (10,20,40 mg·kg-1·d-1 ,ig) , respectively, for 28 days. The rats in control group were given ordinary daily care and received ig administration of normal saline simultaneously. The body weight, food intake and fluid consumption were measured, and the behaviors were examined by open field during the duration of the stress procedure, and forced-swimming test was performed 1 day after last unpredictable stressor. Results Acute administration of TMP markedly decreased the duration of immobility during forced-swimming test((89.0 ±37.0)s vs (117.1 ±32. 1)s, P<0.05) . Chronic administration of TMP partially countered the effects of CMS on consumption of sucrose solution and locomotion and exploration behavior, and potently shortened the immobility time during forced-swimming test following CMS in rats. The results showed that long-term administration of TMP partially reversed the effects of CMS on the body weight gain,the consumption of sucrose solution,the squares crossing in open field test and the immobility time during forced-swimming test in rats ((91.9 ±31.5) vs (124.4±27.0)s,P<0.05).Conclusion TMP shows obvious antidepressant-like activity.

Objective To investigate the resident performance on preoperative anesthetist visit in Beijing hospitals,thereby providing introduction for further training.Methods A self-designed questionnaire was distributed among the anesthesia residents who were receiving anesthesia residency training in Beijing through WeChat.The questionnaire covers geographic data of the residents,information on preoperative visit and existing training program.Results160 questionnaires were reclaimed.History-taking and physical examination were not comprehensive in many residents,the nature of surgery was not evaluated by most residents.The capacity of risk assessment and risk informing were not competent in many residents.The most desired training methods for preoperative visit were scenario simulation and bedside observation.Conclusions Scenario simulation with standard patient may have a promising prospect in preoperative anesthetist visit training.
