Objective To establish the quality standard for Kangganmao Granule.Methods Radix scutellariae,radix et rhizome glycyrrhizae and radix platycodonis in the prescription were identified by TLC.The content of the baicalin was determined by HPLC.The column of AichromBond-AQ-C18(4.6 mm? 150 mm,5 ?m)was used.The mobile phase was CH3OH-H2O-H3PO4(43:57:0.2),with the flow of 1.0 mL/min,the column temperature of 30 ℃,and peaks were detected at 280 nm.Results The characteristic of identification by TLC was distinct and highly specific.The linear range of baicalin was 0.049 6～0.297 6 ?g,r =0.999 7,the average recovery was 101.80%,RSD=1.86%(n=6).Conclusion The method was easy to operate with accurate result and good reproducibility.It can be used effectively for the quality control of the preparation.

Objective To observe the effects of the ethanol extract of thunberg fritillary leaf (EETFL) and the ethanol extract of thunberg fritillary flower (EETFF) on relieving cough, sputum elimination and relieving asthma. Methods The cough relieving effects of EETFL and EETFF were studied in mouse cough model caused by ammonia water and in guinea pig cough model caused by citric acid. The sputum elimination effects of EETFL and EETFF were researched by the observation of tracheal phenol red shedding in mice. The asthma relieving effects were tested by spraying method in guinea pigs. Results EETFL can obviously inhibit the incubation period and cough frequency of the model mice and guinea pigs induced by ammonia water and citric acid (P<0.05), and significantly improve the tracheal phenol red excretion volume in mice (P<0.05), and obviously prolong the incubation period of asthma (P<0.05). EETFF can obviously inhibit the incubation period and cough frequency of the model mice and guinea pigs induced by ammonia water and citric acid (P<0.05), and significantly improve the tracheal phenol red excretion volume in mice (P<0.05), but EETFF couldn’t prolong the incubation period of asthma evidently. Conclusion EETFL has obvious activity of relieving cough, eliminating phlegm and relieving asthma. EETFF has obvious activity of relieving cough and eliminating phlegm, but EETFF has no anti-asthmatic activity under the current dose.

Objective: To study the acute and long-term toxicity of brucea javanica oil subnanoemulsion injections ( BJOSI ) . Methods:The mice were given BJOSI by intravenous injection. The acute toxicity was observed and LD50 in mice was calculated by Bliss method. To observe the long-term toxicological effects, Beagle dogs were injected intravenously BJOSI once a day for 8-week du-ration with the dose of 20, 10 and 6 ml·kg-1 , respectively followed by 3-week recovery period. Results:LD50 of BJOSI in mice was 7. 388 g·kg-1 with 95% confidence limits of 6. 306-8. 656 g·kg-1 . The long term toxicity test showed that all the detected indices were within normal range in all groups, including general state, weight changes,hematological indices,biochemical indices,EEG,organ coefficients, morphological and histological changes, while there was an upward tendency of ALT and Cr in every BJOSI group without dose-effect correlation. The dogs could completely recover in three weeks after the administration. Conclusion:The results suggest that BJOSI has low toxicity,while the pathological changes are reversible, and attention should be paid to the function of liver and kidney.

Objective To optimize the prescription and technology of Brucea javanica oil subnanoemulsion injection. Methods Using superfine Brucea javanica oil as oil phase,yolk lecithin and poloxamer 188 as the complex emulsifying agents. The dosage of oil,emulsifier and stabilizer were optimized and the preparation was optimized by orthogonal experiments. Results The optimum precription was 10% oil phase,1.2% emulsifier and 0.1% stabilizer. The optimum technology was that aqueous phase and oil phase mixed at 70 ℃,sheared 20 min by high speed shearing machine and then passed the ultra-high pressure nano homogenizer 6 times under the pressure of 900 bar. Conclusion The physical stability of Brucea javanica oil subnanoemulsion injection is good.

Objective To discuss the clinical value of intercostal arterial embolization for the treatment of hemoptysis.Methods A total of 91 patients with hemoptysis were enrolled in this study.Intercostal arterial embolization was performed using gelatin sponge.The patients were closely observed after the operation.For recurrent cases,re-embolization was carried out after identifying the causes of relapse.Results A total of 111 operations were performed on the 91 patients,including embolization of the bronchial and intercostal arteries in 74 cases,and simple embolization of the intercostal artery in 17.The rate of immediate hemostasis was 98.9%(90/91).The patients were followed up for 8 to 14 months,during which the recurrent rate was 15.4%(14/91).No serious complication occurred during the follow-up.Conclusion By embolizing both bronchial and intercostal arteries,the efficacy of the procedure can be increased and the rate the recurrence decreased,as long as proper measures have been taken to avoid serious complications.

BACKGROUND:At present, a great quantity of research has shown the effectiveness of traditional Chinese medicine and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s for vascular restenosis. However, studies concerning their combined application to restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty with diabetes mel itus are presently lacking.
OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of combined application of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and benefiting-Qi nourishing-Yin and dissolving-congestion prescription on restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in dogs with diabetes mel itus.
METHODS:A dog model of vascular restenosis with diabetes mel itus was established by bal oon injury of femoral artery and intravenous injection of al oxan. After successful model induction, 22 dog models were randomly divided into three groups:model group (n=6), treatment with Chinese medicine (n=8), and combined treatment with bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and Chinese medicine (n=8). Serum vascular endothelial growth factor levels were measured using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay preoperatively and at 1, 2, 4 and 8 weeks postoperation. Samples of vessels were taken to conduct pathomorphological observation and quantitative analysis of proliferation degree. Tissues, including heart, liver, kidney and pancreatic gland, were col ected to evaluate the safety of stem cel transplantation using hematoxylin-eosin staining at 8 weeks postoperation.
RESULTS AND CONCLUSION:Serum vascular endothelial growth factor levels began to increase at 1 week postoperation in the Chinese medicine group and combined treatment group, at 4 weeks postoperation in the model group compared with preoperation (P<0.05). At al time points, serum vascular endothelial growth factor levels were highest in the combined treatment group, but lowest in the model group (P<0.05). Quantitative analysis of vascular proliferation demonstrated that at 8 weeks postoperation, new intimal area, new intimal/medial areas and stenosis rate were highest in the model group, but lowest in the combined treatment group at 8 weeks postoperation (P<0.05). Safety assessment of stem cel transplantation showed morphological structures of the heart, liver, kidneys and pancreas were normal, no necrosis. In a word, the effects of the combined application of bone marrow mesenchymal stem cel s and benefiting-Qi nourishing-Yin and dissolving-congestion prescription were much pronounced in preventing restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in dogs with diabetes mel itus rather than single therapy of Chinese medicine. It is a safe and effective treatment to prevent vascular restenosis after percutaneous transluminal angioplasty in dogs with diabetes mel itus.
