Objective To explore the efficacy and value of the one-off cure of the serious cervical erosion by Microwave combined with idophor.Methods Eighty patients with serious cervical erosion enrolled in our department from 8,2003 to 10,2005 were randomly allocated to group A as test group and group B as control group.Both groups were treated with microwave.But every one or three days, cervix and vagina of group A was scrubbed by idophor.After three months,every group was re - examined to observe the efficacy and side -effect of the one-off cure.Results The one-off cure rate in group A(95%)was significantly higher than in group B(77.5%). There was a significant difference between the two groups(P＜0.05).The average days of took off scab in group A(9.66)had a signifi- cantly deeper invasion than in group B(13.87)(P＜0.05).Conclusion On cure of the serious cervical erosion by microwave combined with idophor can shorten the took off scab period and improved the one - off cure rate.The convenient method can be used widely.

The objective of this study is to fully investigate the therapeutic effect and mechanisms of action of Gegen Qinlian decoction (GD) on type 2 diabetes mellitus (type 2 DM). A rat model of type 2 DM was established with the combination of high-fat diet and multiple low doses of streptozotocin (STZ). Biochemical indicators related to glucose metabolism disorders, insulin resistance, oxidative stress were observed. The type 2 DM rats were administrated with GD for 80 days, the above-mentioned indexes were detected. The results indicated that the hepatic glycogen synthesis level was promoted, fasting blood glucose level and fasting blood insulin level were significantly reduced, insulin sensitivity index was significantly improved; the level of superoxide dismutase (SOD) was increased and the level of malondialdehyde (MDA) was reduced; pathologic morphology of pancreas and kidney was ameliorated in the GD group. It was indicated that the therapeutic mechanisms of action of GD on type 2 DM might be related to its effect of ameliorating glucose metabolism disorders, relieving insulin resistance, increasing the tissues' sensitivity to insulin, improving the antioxidative ability of living system, GD has therapeutic effect on type 2 DM and protective effects against damaged pancreatic function.

0.999). The relative standard deviation (RSD) of chromatogram area was less than 1.0% for all of them after six successive injections. The detection limit was 0.05 ?g/mL for norephedrine (NE), 0.04 ?g/mL for norpseudoephedrine (NPE), 0.1 ?g/mL for E and PE, and 0.2 ?g/mL for mephedrine (ME) and mepseudoephedrine (MPE), respectively (S/N≥3). The recovery rate was more than 97.1% for six ephedrine alkaloids. Under this method system, all of the above-mentioned six samples were tested and found to contain some of the impurity at different levels. Conclusion This developed method, which is very simple, perfect precision, high sensitivity, and selectivity, can be used for the qualitative and quantitative determination of impurities of ephedrine alkaloid-type samples.

AIM: To identify chemical components in Shuangshen Prescription by Liquid Chromatography-Mass Spectrometry (LC-MS), and optimize the extraction by uniform design (UD). METHODS: UD(U6(6^2)) was used to design the experiments of extraction, and LC-ESI-MS/MS was used to identify the components by MS1 and MS2. Meanwhile, we chose the extracted ion chromatography (EIC) area of each compound for applying UD analysis to optimize the factors influencing the extracration rate of Shuangshen Prescription, i.e. the amount of water added and the extracting time. RESULTS: Eight ginsenosides and six water-soluble components of salviae were identified in Shuangshen Prescription by LC/MS/MS. The extraction rate which was more than 90% for each of those 14 components, was highest under the condition of adding 25 times of water and extracting for 35 min. CONCLUSION: The study offered thc essential basis for further development and application of Shuangshen Prescription.

The concept and research contents of Holistic Systems Medicine were also introduced in this article. Finally, a proposal for setting up“China Holistic Systems Medicine development project” was proposed.

Objective To understand the schistosomiasis epidemic situation among migrant population,so as to assess the potential risk of schistosomiasis transmission in Haining City. Methods Five districts in Haining City were randomly selected to investigate the schistosomiasis endemic situation in migrant population from the schistosomiasis endemic provinces. Results Totally 1207 persons were investigated and four positives were found in serological tests,with the positive rate of 0.33%,but no patients were found in pathologic tests. The positive cases in serological tests were mainly between 31-40 years old,with the pos-itive rate of 1.68%,which was higher than that of other age groups( χ2 = 6.590,P < 0.05). Conclusion The schistosomiasis surveillance work in migrant population still should be strengthened in Haining City.

This study was to report the effect of Tangshen Formula on phospholipids metabolism in diabetic nephropathy patients. A normal phase-HPLC-TOF/MS method was used in this study for the determination of seven species of phospholipids in human plasma. Then, the concentration changes of potential phospholipids biomarkers were discussed in diabetic nephropathy phase III and phase IV patients among different groups, including before and 3, 6 months after administration of Tangshen Formula. Significant increases of PE750, PI885, PC792, PC826, PC830, PC854 and PC802 levels were observed 6 months after administration of Tangshen Formula and conventional western medicine, as well as a decrease of LPC540 level, when compared with those before medication. Concentrations of all the potential phospholipids biomarkers showed a tendency towards normal levels; however, both the improvement degree and onset time of these compounds were not same. Additionally, Tangshen Formula treatment based on conventional western medicine treatment was more efficient in adjusting the levels of these compounds when compared with western medicine treatment alone, especially for the phase IV patients. These results indicated that Tangshen Formula was capable in regulating and improving phospholipids metabolism in diabetic nephropathy patients, which may be related with the direct or indirect inhibition of protein kinase C pathway and the corresponding reduction of phospholipase A2 activity. Therefore, Tangshen Formula may be used as an effective drug for diabetic nephropathy therapy, at least as an adjunctive therapeutic drug.

Applications of network pharmacology are increasingly widespread and methods abound in the field of drug development and pharmacological research. In this study, we choose rosiglitazone compound as the object to predict the targets and to discuss the mechanism based on three kinds of prediction methods of network pharmacology. Comparison of the prediction result has identified that the three kinds of prediction methods had their own characteristics: targets and pathways predicted were not in accordance with each other. However, the calcium signaling pathway could be predicted in the three kinds of methods, which associated with diabetes and cognitive impairment caused by diabetes by bioinformatics analysis. The above conclusion indicates that the calcium signaling pathway is important in signal pathway regulation of rosiglitazone compound, which provides a clue to further explain the mechanism of the compound and also provides a reference for the selection and application of methods of network pharmacology in the actual research.
