This study was aimed to investigate the anti-inflammatory, diuretic effect and acute toxicity of Herb of Lanceolate Sedge. The mice were randomly divided into 5 groups, which were the physiological saline group, aspirin group (0.05 g·kg-1), high dose (HD), middle dose (MD) and low dose (LD) of water extract of Herb of Lanceolate Sedge (10, 5, 2.5 g crude drug per kg) group. Intragastric administration of medication was given to mice once a day for 3 days. Auricular swelling induced by dimethyl benzene was used in the model establishment to calculate the swollen ear degree and the swollen inhibiting rate. And rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, which were the physiological saline group, aspirin group (0.05 g·kg-1), high dose (HD), middle dose (MD) and low dose (LD) of wa-ter extract of Herb of Lanceolate Sedge (10, 5, 2.5 g crude drug per kg) group. Intragastric administration of medi-cation was given to rats once a day for 5 days. Carrageenan induced paw edema was used in the model establishment to calculate the paw swollen rate. And rats were randomly divided into 5 groups, which were the physiological saline group, Furosemide tablets group (0.01 g·kg-1), high dose (HD), middle dose (MD) and low dose (LD) of water extract of Herb of Lanceolate Sedge (10, 5, 2.5 g crude drug per kg) group. Intragastric administration of medication was giv-en to rats once a day for 5 days. Water-loaded was used in the model establishment to calculate the 5-hour urine amount. The maximum tolerance dose (MTD) was used in the determination of the acute toxicity. The results showed that the three groups of HD, MD and LD of water extract of Herb of Lanceolate Sedge had obvious inhibiting effects on the swollen ear degree and the swollen inhibiting rate among mice, and the paw swollen rate of rats. It had signif-icant increasing effect on the 5-hour urine amount. The MTD of intragastric administration of water extract of Herb of Lanceolate Sedge was 640 g crude drug per kg for mice. It was concluded that Herb of Lanceolate Sedge dis-played obvious effects on anti-inflammatory and dieresis with low acute toxicity.

This study was aimed to select the best microwave extraction craft conditions of polysaccharide from Radix platycodonis. The composite scores of polysaccharide content and yield rate were used as evaluation indexes. By ex-amining the impact of microwave power, microwave time, extraction times and solid-liquid ratio on crafts, the best craft conditions were optimized by orthogonal test. The orthogonal test showed that when the microwave power was 1800 W, microwave time was 8 min, extraction times were 3, solid-liquid ratio was 1:15, the composite scores were the highest and the extraction craft conditions were the best. It was concluded that the crafts are efficient and stable. It had laid a foundation for the further study on polysaccharide from R adix p latyc odonis .

Objective To explore the CT and MR imaging characteristics of intracranial melanomas. Methods CT and MRI characteristics in five patients admitted to our hospital from June 1993 to June 2000 and diagnosed as intracranial melanomas were retrospectively analyzed. Results There were two cases of primary melanoma and three cases of secondary melanoma. All the cases were examined by CT. The lesions presented as high density in 4 cases, and low density in only 1 case. Four cases were examined by MRI. Short T 1 and short T 2 signals were found in 3 cases, and slightly long T 1 and short T 2 signal was found in 1 case. Conclusion There are some special characteristics of melanomas on the MR imaging, which are helpful to ensure the diagnosis and distinguish the primary melanomas from secondary melanomas.

Objective To investigate the effects of continuous hemofihration on gastrointestinal dysfunction for treating patients with intra-abdominal hypertension.Methods A total of 37 patients were divided into two groups randomly (random number),namely control group (n =17) and continuous blood filtration (CBF) group (n =20).The patients of control group were treated with routine treatment,and the patients of CBF group were given CBF for 72 hours in addition to the routine treatment.The intra-abdominal pressure (IAP),gastrointestinal (GI) symptoms,and SOFA score were documented at 0 hour,24 hours,72 hours and 7 days after treatment.Results The MAP of patients in the CBF group was not significantly changed (P =0.218),while the IAP was decreased significantly (P =0.001) and the abdominal perfusion pressure (APP) increased significantly after CBF (P =0.036).Compared with the control group,there were more than 2 GI symptoms markedly relieved after CBF for 24 hours (P =0.049).The SOFA score of CBF group decreased significantly (P =0.037).There were no differences in 28-day and 60-day mortality between two groups.Conclusions The CBF can decrease IAP,increase APP,improve splanchnic blood circulation,and ameliorate gastrointestinal dysfunction.But CBF does not reduce the mortality in comparison with routine treatment.

Objective To explore the value of brainstem auditory evoked potential(BAEP),visual evoked potential(VEP)and Revised Visual Retention Test(VRT)in detecting impairment of central nervous system in patients with acute leukemia(AL).Methods Neuropack-Ml type evoked potential machine(Japan)was used to check brainstem auditory evoked potential(BAEP)and visual evoked potential(VEP).BAEP,VEP and VRT were examined in 30 cases with acute leukemia(group AL)and in 30 age and sex matched healthy subjects as a control(groupC).Indexes of BAEP including peak latency(PL)of waves I ,IB ,V and inter-peak latency(IPL)of waves Ⅰ～Ⅲ,Ⅲ ～Ⅴ,Ⅰ～Ⅴand indexes of VEP(P100PL)were determined.VRT was accomplished meanwhile applying B method with C pattern,C method with D pattern,D method with E pattern.The correct scores and error scores were recorded separately.Results BAEP:the abnormal rate of the group AL was 23.3 %.Compared with control group,we found significant longer latency of wave Ⅲ、Ⅴ(P＜0.05)and significant elongation in the mean inter-peak latencies of Ⅰ～Ⅴ(P＜0.05).VEP:the abnormal rate of the group AL was 26.7% ,the P100 PL of the patients was longer than that in the control group(P＜0.05).VRT:the abnormal rate of the group AL was 33.3%.The results of VRT showed that the score in the group AL in D method with E pattern was lower than that in the control group(P＜0.05).Conclusion BEAP,VEP and VRT could detect the impairment of central nervous system in patients with acute leukemia sensitively,and give clues to early diagnosis of central nervous system leukemia(CNSL).

Objective A new type adsorbent for removal of bacterial ET was prepared by immobilizing L-serine covalently onto polyvinylidene difluoride membrane (PVDF-Ser) to study the effect of hemoperfusion on sepsis induced lung injuries in a pig model. Method Endotoxemia were induced in thirteen pigs by injecting endotoxin (1 μg/(kg·h) ) intravenously for 2 h. One hour later, the pigs were treated with absorber of PVDF-Ser volumn (group hemoperfusion) or empty adsorber (group control) for 2 h. Extravascular lung water indexed to body weight and alveolar capillary permeability, levels of serum endotoxin, tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin-6, malondialdehyde, glutathione, myeloperoxidase activity, and lung histological changes and myeloperoxidase immunohistochemical analysis were measured. Results Hemoperfusion treatment with PVDF-Ser volumn significantly improved extravascular lung water, pulmonary alveolar capillary permeability and lung injuries ( P ＜ 0. 05). In addition, hemoperfusion attenuated both serum and pulmonary cytokines, and decreased lung malondialdehyde and myeloperoxidase levels ( P ＜ 0. 05). Conclusions Hemoperfusion with the adsorber of PVDF-Ser volumn effectively reduced inflammatory responses and improved lung injuries and oxidative stress in endotoxemia. It has a high potential of clinical application for treatment of patients with severe sepsis.
