To establish a bioassay method and quality standard of Banlangen granula, agglutinated activity assay was used in the analysis of the traditional Chinese medicine, Banlangen granula. It showed that masculined effect could be picked up effectively and the products quality of different pharmaceutical factories and different batch numbers from the same factory could be revealed conveniently, accurately, quickly and directly with this method (valence value was between 2 and 11). The established bioassay method had a good reproducibility with RSD = 2%. The dependablity of the activity of red cell agglutination and restrainting influenza virus NA was conspicuous (r2 = 0.878 3). In conclusion, this bioassay method is suitable to control and evaluate the quality of Banlangen granula. Thus the method may provide a simple and effective technique in supervising and examining the quality of other traditional Chinese medicine.

To establish kinetic assay method for the analysis of hemolysis and to investigate dynamic hemolytic process of polysorbate 80. The UV-VIS spectrum of heme changes when hemoglobin is released continuously during the hemolytic process. Therefore, dynamic hemolytic curve was determined as a new way to characterize the kinetic process of interaction between polysorbate 80 and red blood cells. The effect of polysorbate 80 on blood cells could be perfectly investigated by the hemolytic dynamics. Dynamic hemolytic parameters of polysorbate 80 were calculated according to the hemolytic curves. The constants of hemolytic rate and maximum hemolytic rate of polysorbate 80 had fine linear relationships at the range of 1-20 mg x mL(-1) and 5-20 mg x mL(-1), respectively. In comparison with the present official method such as macroscopic observation and static spectrophotometric methods, kinetic spectrophotometry has the advantages of real time, on-line determination, sensitive, objective, good reproducibility and 2-dimensional information acquired. Therefore, as a biological technique, kinetic spectrophotometry could be applied to evaluate the quality of polysorbate 80 and to screen other solubilizing excipients.

Objective To find the related factors of the unsuccessful unsedated colonoscopy. Methods Clinical data of 1 726 consecutive subjects who underwent colonoscopy without sedation from April 2014 to January 2015 at the second affiliated hospital of Soochow university were analyzed. Data included characteristics of the patients (age, gender, body mass index, degree of education, the bowel-cleaning drugs, previous colonoscopy experience, bowel habits, history of chronic disease, history of sport, history of abdominal or pelvic surgery, the indication of colonoscopy, mood, quality of bowel preparation, and presence/absence of colonic diverticulum), the characteristics of the physicians (procedure experience, the instrument handling method). These factors were analyzed to evaluate their impact on result of unsedated colonoscopy. Results This study included 1 726 patients (male/female: 927/799). These patients' average age was 50.04 years old, the cecal intubation rate was 91.6%, and the average intubation time was 10.27 minutes. The multiple regression analysis showed the elderly patient, lower BMI, irritability, consti﹣pation, poor bowel preparation were associated with the lower cecal intubation rate. Conclusions The elderly patient, lower BMI, irritability, constipation and poor bowel preparation were associated with the failure of unsedated colonoscopy. In clinical practice, quality improvement programs are needed to improve the rate of total colonoscopy.

Hypertension with high serum Homocysteine (Hcy) significantly increases the incidence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular events, which is defined as H-Type Hypertension by Chinese scholars. Plenty of researches have confirmed that high prevalence of H-Type Hypertension in Chinese population is now the big public problem in China. Traditional Chinese Medicine(TCM)treatment shows the advantages in integral regulation, less side effect, and anti-Hcy effect in hypertension. This paper discussed the prevalence, TCM syndrome and TCM treatment progress in H-Type Hypertension to provide some ideas and references for the intervention of H-Type Hypertension by TCM.

Objective:To establish the common carotid artery aneurysm models of Wallstent double stent overlapping implantation in miniature pigs, and evaluate the safety and effectiveness of this procedure by observing the imaging and pathological changes.Methods:Sidewall aneurysm and fusiform aneurysm models in Bama miniature pigs were established surgically and 2 Wallstent stents were overlapped and implanted in situ. Aneurysm healing immediately after surgery and during 8 weeks of follow-up were evaluated according to 2D-DSA by O'Kelly-Marotta (OKM) grading scale and Kamran scale; degrees of stent adhesion immediately after surgery and status of stent endothelialization and aneurysm healing at 2, 4, and 8 weeks after surgery were observed by high resolution C-arm CT(HR-CBCT) and optical coherence tomography (OCT); and the changes of stent endothelialization were evaluated by comparing the HR-CBCT and OCT results with histopathology at 8 weeks after surgery. Perioperative adverse events were recorded.Results:After successful establishment of common carotid artery aneurysm models (including 4 sidewall aneurysms and 4 fusiform aneurysms with average diameter of [11.0±2.8] mm) in 8 miniature pigs, a total of 16 Wallstent stents (2 in each aneurysm) were implanted across the aneurysmal neck, with a technical success rate of 100%. No serious complications such as acute stent thrombosis, or aneurysm rupture and bleeding were observed in the perioperative period. The 2D-DSA immediately after surgery showed obvious intracranial contrast agent retention in 6 patients (1 patient in grading 1, 3 in grading 2, and 2 in grading 3) and aneurysm occlusion in 2 patients (grading 4). Eight weeks after follow-up, all 8 aneurysms had complete occlusions (grading 4); and 2 experimental pigs had in-stent restenosis, with stenosis rates of 52% and 67%, respectively. HR-CBCT and OCT immediately after surgery and during follow-up indicated that the stent metal braid was gradually covered by proliferating intima, with disappeared aneurysm. The cause of in-stent restenosis in 2 experimental pigs was local intima hyperplasia resulted from poor stent adhesion, and pathological findings indicated that the intima hyperplasia was mainly composed of smooth muscle cells and fibrous connective tissues.Conclusion:In animal models, Wallstent stent overlapping implantation is safe and effective in common carotid aneurysms, but intraoperative adverse adhesion of overlapping stent should be avoided.
