OBJECTIVE:To establish a method for the simultaneous determination of rhein,emodin,chrysophanol and phy-scion in Niuhuang shangqing pill. METHODS:HPLC was performed on the column was Kromasil C18 with mobile phase of metha-nol-0.5% phosphoric acid(75:25,V/V),the column temperature was 30 ℃,the flow rate was 1.0 ml/min,the detection wave-length was 230 nm,and the injection volume was 10μl. RESULTS:The linear range was 1.50-150 mg/L for rhein,0.95-95 for em-odin,1.30-130 for chrysophanol and 1.15-115 mg/L for physcion(r≥0.995 0);RSDs of precision,stability and reproducibility tests were lower than 2%;recoveries were 97.03%-100.40%(RSD=1.23%,n=9),98.37%-102.50%(RSD=1.15%,n=9),98.03%-101.10%(RSD=1.05%,n=9)and 97.83%-104.50%(RSD=2.16%,n=9). CONCLUSIONS:The method is simple,stable with good re-producibility,and can be used for the contents determination of rhein,emodin,chrysophanol and physcion in Niuhuang shangqing pill.

Objective To discuss the application of insulation blanket in the esophageal cancer radical surgery.Methods 40 cases of esophageal carcinoma patients were divided into two groups at random,20 cases involved in the control group (non-use of insulation blankets) and 20 cases in the experimental group (use of thermal insulation blanket).The changes in body temperature of all patients were monitored with nasopharyngeal temperature probe and analyzed in statistics.Results Compared to the control group,the body temperatures of the experimental group were higher.By heating with insulation blanket,the body temperatures were increased obviously in 30 minutes after entering the operation room,but no significant difference appeared at different time points after 30 minutes.Conclusions In radical surgery of esophageal cancer,the use of blanket insulation is an effective way to maintain a constant body temperature of patients and reduce post-operative complications,and promote early recovery of patients.

Currently, the commonly used diagnostic markers have the shortcomings of lower sensitivity or specificity in the early diagnosis of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, it needs to use the novel specific biochemical markers for the early diagnosis arid treatment, so as to decrease the high mortality and disability caused by cardio-cerebrovascular events. Fatty acid-binding proteins (FABPs) are a family of low-molecular-weight intracellular lipid-binding proteins. They are divided into 9 different subtypes, including the liver-, intestinal-, heart-, brain-, adipocyte-, skin-, ileal-, myelin-, and testis-subtype. Their primary function is to transport long-chain fatty acids into the cells, and thus regulate intracellular lipid metabolism. The structures of all FABP subtypes are similar, inclusive of two α2 helices arid one β2 fold structure. Among them, the sensitivities and specificities of the heart- and brain-subtype FABPs are higher in the early diagnosis of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases. It is promising to become the novel markers in the early diagnosis of cardio-cerebrovascular diseases.

Objective To investigate the mechanism of acupuncture in anti-depression. Methods 100 depressive patients were randomly divided into acupuncture group and Amitriptyline group, 50 cases in each group. They were respectively treated by acupuncture at Neiguan (PC6), Sanyinjiao (SP6), Baihui (DU20), Fengchi (GB20), and oral western meicine. The needles were manipulated once every 20 minutes and treatment was given once a day. HAMD score and levels of serum cell factors of two groups were observed. Results Serum levels of interleukin 1? (IL-1?), interleukin-6 (IL-6) interleukin-2 (IL-2) and tumor necorsis factor-? (TNF-?) in depressive subjects before treatment were significanly higher than that of nomal subjects (all P

Objective: To explore correlation among concentrations of high sensitive C reactive protein (hsCRP), uric acid (UA), brain natriuretic peptide (BNP) and coronary heart disease (CHD).Methods: A total of 120 CHD patients treated in our department were enrolled as CHD group, and they were divided into single vessel coronary disease group (single-vessel group, n=51) and multi-vessel coronary disease group (multi-vessel group, n=69).Meanwhile, another 40 healthy subjects were randomly selected from our physical examination center as healthy control group.Serum concentrations of hsCRP, BNP and UA were measured in all groups, and compared with pairwise comparisons.Results: Compared with healthy control group, there were significant rise in serum concentrations of hsCRP[(3.95±2.24) mg/L vs.(19.78±5.15) mg/L], BNP[(70.57±19.47) pg/ml vs.(196.17±54.84) pg/ml], UA[(184.51±79.47) μmol/L vs.(407.17±96.84) μmol/L]in CHD group, and those of multi-vessel group were significantly higher than those of single-vessel group, P<0.05 or <0.01;Spearman rank correlation analysis indicated that serum UA concentration was significant positively correlated with hsCRP and BNP concentrations (r=0.551, 0.398, P<0.05 both), Gensini score was significant positively correlated with serum concentrations of hsCRP, BNP, UA (r=0.478, 0.552, 0.741, P<0.05 all), Sullivan score was significant positively correlated with serum concentrations of hsCRP, BNP, UA (r=0.503, 0.674, 0.892, P<0.05 or <0.01) in CHD patients.Conclusion: Serum concentrations of hsCRP, BNP, UA are closely related to occurrence and development of CHD.These three indexes can be used as screening indexes for CHD, and the effect of combined detection may be better.

Environmental arsenic exposure is a worldwide public health problem. Long-term exposure to inorganic arsenic is closely related to diseases such as cardiovascular disease, diabetes and malignant tumors. Different dietary structure and intake of certain specific nutrients may have important effects on the pathogenic effect of arsenic. This article summarizes the effects of dietary nutrients on arsenic toxicity, providing reference for the follow-up arsenic toxicity research and reducing the risk of arsenic-related diseases through nutritional intervention.

[Objective] To study the relationship between arthrochalasis and developmental dislocation of hip(DDH).[Methods]One hundred and seventy-six patients with DDH treated from Jaunary 2006 to December 2006 in the Shengjing Hospital of China Medical University were evaluated retrospectively.The average age was 3.54 years old(range,from 6 months to 15 years),with 153 females and 23 males.Eighty-four patients had both,58 left and 34 right.Totally 192 normal children were controls,and the average age was 3.67 years old(range,from 4 months to 15 years).The diagnosis of DDH was depended on clinical manifestations,radiography and ultrasonography.The criteria of arthrochalasia were the standards proposed by Wynne Davies.SPSS version 10.0 for Windows was used to perform statistical analysis.?2 test and spearman test was conducted for obtained data.A P

[Objective] This study examined the distribution and the expression of platelet-derived growth factor-A (PDGF-A) in the ligamentum teres of children with developmental dislocation of the hip (DDH) and normal persons in order to investigate the roles of PDGF-A in hip joint laxity. [Methods]There were six pairs of joint laxity of children with DDH and normal children (control group) matched to gender and age. Immunohistochemistry (SP method) method was used to detect the location and distribution of the PDGF-A in the ligamentum teres,and to semi-quantify their content.Semiquantitative RT-PCR method was used to detect the PDGF-A in the ligamentum teres at mRNA level. The quantitative analysis of the PDGF-A was performed by professional image software and the results were analyzed with standard statistical methods.[Results]High density expression was observed in the synovial layer with fibroblast regularly arranged parallel to the joint surface in the ligamentum teres. PDGF-A distribution was decreased in the fibrous layer of the ligamentum teres. There were significant differences in the percentage of positive fibroblast and gray-scale density in the fibrous layer between DDH group and control group (P
