OBJECTIVE:To study the effect of different administration time of ibuprofen on the changing characteristics of circadian rhythm about body temperature and plasma concentration in rats.METHODS:60 rats were given single oral administration of ibuprofen at the dose of 50 mg per kilogram at different time(2∶00,6∶00,10∶00,14∶00,18∶00,22∶00) according to a randomized block design with another 10 rats serving as blank control.The effects of ibuprofen on circadian rhythm variations of body temperature and plasma concentration in rats were observed and analyzed using chronogram and cosine method.RESULTS:The body temperature of rats prior to and after administration both showed a significant circadian rhythm,with mean declined only,yet acrophase and amplitude showed no significant differences.The best cosinor curve equation were Yt i=38.7+0.52 Cos(15??ti—86.80?) and Yt i=37.8+0.55 Cos(15??ti—117?) respectively.The plasma concentration also showed a significant circadian change in rats at the different time points of administration.The plasma concentration in light phase was higher than that in dark phase,and the best cosinor curve equation was Yt i=41.95+5.30 Cos(15??ti—272.83?).CONCLUSION:The differences of circadian rhythm were both shown about body temperature and plasma concentration in rats when ibuprofen was orally administered at the different time points.

Objective To explore the features of gallbladder adenomyoma in sonogram, and improve the abilities of diagnosis and differential diagnosis. Method Sonograms of 8 patients with proven gallbladder adenomyoma were retrospectively analyzed and correlated with pathologic findings. Results Eight patients had sonographic evidence of localized intramural nodular,which were round-like and hypoechoic,with anechoic space and tiny bright echos, confined almost exclusively to the fundus of gallbladder. Five patients were also evident with associated gallstones and chronic cholecytitis. Conclusion Sonograms of gallbladder adenomyoma have marked features, which can be differentially diagnosed from other projective lesions of gallbladder.

Objective To explore the effects of cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN55,212-2 preconditioning on spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury in rats.Methods A total of 32 male Sprague-Dawley rats was randomly divided into four groups (n =8):sham group,control group,dimethyl sulfoxide(DMSO) group which was given intraperitoneally DMSO 0.3 ml 30 min before ischemia reperfusion,and WIN group which was given intraperitoneally WIN55,212-2 1 mg/kg 30 min before ischemia reperfusion.Each rat was neurologically assessed at 24 h and 48 h after reperfusion by Tarlov scale,and the number of normal motor neurons at anterior horn of the spinal cord was recorded.Res uits The Tarlov scale of WIN group was significantly higher than that control and DMSO groups (P ＜ 0.05).There were more normal motor neurons at anterior horn of the spinal cord in WIN group than those in control and DMSO groups (P ＜ 0.05).Conclusions Cannabinoid receptor agonist WIN55,212-2 preconditioning might attenuate spinal cord ischemia reperfusion injury.

Nonarteritic anterior ischemic optic neuropathy (NAION)is a common optic neuropathy seriously affecting the visual function in the middle-aged and elderly population.However,its pathogenesis is not completely clear,and therefore its treating efficacy is dissatisfactory.The current study on NAION is focused on the establishment of suitable animal model and the pathogenesis.In recent years,the relatively ideal animal models(including rodent and primate) have been established by photodynamic methods,which make people have more in-depth understanding on the pathophysiologic mechanism of NAION and lay the basis for the research of therapies.The selection of experimental animals,various induction methods and existing problems in the creation of NAION animal model were reviewed and analyzed in this artical.

Objective To investigate clinical efficacy and safety of carboprost tromethamine injection combined with low B -Lynch suture for intractable postpartum hemorrhage placenta previa.Methods 125 cases of intractable postpartum hemorrhage placenta previa were divided into two groups according to treatment(n =62)with the observation group(n =63),the control group was administered oxytocin,and the line in the placental separation surface 8 interrupted suture;the observation group was used carboprost tromethamine injection combined with low B -Lynch suture.Clinical efficacy,blood loss,bleeding,postoperative bleeding 2h,24h after blood loss,transfusion rate and index sex hormone levels were compared before and after treatment.Results (1)After treatment,total effec-tive rate of the control group and observation group was 77.42%(48 /62)and 95.24%(60 /63)respectively.There was a statistically significant difference between the two groups(P <0.05);(2)Blood loss,bleeding time,2h after blood loss,blood loss and transfusion rate after 24h in the observation group were (1 608.37 ±43.01)mL,(8.89 ± 1.09)min,(101.18 ±8.73)mL,(221.17 ±20.58)mL and 4.76%,respectively,which were significantly lower than those of the control group [(1 992.28 ±55.62)mL,(12.83 ±1.77)min,(145.49 ±12.19)mL,(255.54 ± 23.30)mL and 16.13%](t =4.559,5.128,3.928,3.382,χ2 =5.559,all P <0.05);(3)before and after treatment indicator hormone(E2 ,FSH and LH)levels were not significantly different(P >0.05),and after treatment,the index level differences were not statistically significant(P >0.05);(4)the two groups during treatment,liver and kidney functions were normal,three cases of the control group and two cases of the observation group occured nausea and vomiting.Conclusion Carboprost tromethamine injection combined with low B -Lynch suture has significant effect, a small amount of bleeding,high security for intractable postpartum hemorrhage placenta previa,which should be promoted.

To explore the medication rule of Chinese materia medica (CMM) in the treatment of pulmonary fibrosis, and provide reference for the prevention and treatment of pulmonary fibrosis in the novel coronavirus pneumonia. Using Excel 2013 and SPSS Statistics 23.0, the literatures with the theme of “pulmonary fibrosis” that met the screening criteria were searched, and the association rule analysis was carried out. Frequency analysis showed that the occurrence frequency of Astragali Radix (148, 45.82%), Glycyrrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (124, 38.39%) and Salviae Miltiorrhizae Radix et Rhizoma (102, 31.58%) was the highest in the clinical treatment literature. In the statistics of nature and flavor, warm (10 times, 50.00%) and neutral (six times, 30.00%) were the most common. The highest frequency of meridian tropism was found in the spleen (11 times, 25.58%), lung (10 times, 23.26%) and sweet (11 times, 36.67%). In the analysis of association rules, six groups of TCM combinations with high frequency correlation strength were obtained. The high frequency and high correlation CMM combinations obtained from this data analysis were mainly effective in strengthening the spleen and invigorating qi, and warming the spleen and lung, which can be used to prevent the early patients from developing to the critical stage and prevent the patients from reinfection due to low immunity in the convalescence stage.

This study aims to build a standardization method for preparation of effective powder from FSA and to quantify diosgenin in FSA. Methodology: One kg of FS were used in this study. Setting: BMS, KOM and KOP, IIUM Kuantan campus. FS were washed with distilled water to exclude any foreign matter, and were then air dried. FS-powder were put in distilled water in a ratio of 1 g of powder in 20 ml of distilled water and were shaken at room temperature for 24 hours. Ten mg of hydrolyzed extract sample was diluted in 10 ml volumetric flask with methanol for 15 minutes. Chromatographic estimation was performed using an equilibrated reverse phase Eclipse XDB-C18 column (particle size 5 µg, 4.6 mm x 150 mm). Results: One gram of FSA extract was hydrolyzed to produce sapogenins and 46.6% was recovered. A calibration curve that was constructed based on five dilutions of diosgenin standard at concentrations of 2, 5, 10, 20, 30 and 50 ppm produced a linear graft (r = 0.999). The concentration of diosgenin in FSA extract as calculated using the regression analysis was found to be 29.66 µg/ml, 13.81 % w/w on dried weight basis. Conclusion: Preparation and standardization of effective powder from FSA are the corner stone of many scientific researches in IIUM and Malaysia. Diosgenin is available in the FSA in adequate concentration. The adequate amount of diosgenin in the FSA will guide us to do further study in the way of preparation of a natural product that can be used in the field of reversible anti-fertility therapy.
