The optimal purification technology was as follows as 45% ethanol as eluant,90%ethanol for purification. Verification test showed that the average content of total saponins from M. tenacissima was 62.45%(RSD=0.88%,n=3). CONCLUSIONS:The optimized technology can be used for the extraction and purification of total saponins from M. tenacissima. The technology is stable and reliable.

Objective:To explore the influence of infusion drop speed on the efficacy of tiopronin for injection combined with sol-vents in the treatment of abnormal liver function. Methods:Totally 74 patients were randomly divided into the observation group and the control group with 37 ones in each. The infusion drop speed was 60-65 drops per minute in the observation group, and that was 30-35 drops per minute in the control group, and the infusion time was controlled in 1h in the observation group and 2h in the control group. The clinical effect and the improvement of liver function were compared between the two groups after a treatment course of 4 weeks. Results:The total effective rate of the observation group(83. 78%) was obviously higher than that in the control group(56. 76%) (P<0. 05) after the treatment, and ALT, AST and TBIL of liver function indices were improved obviously except for ALB in the two group, and the difference was statistically significant between the two groups(P<0. 05). Conclusion:Tiopronin for injection can effectively improve the clinical effect by strictly controlling the time and drop speed of infusion.

OBJECTIVE: To introduce material science characteristics and clinical application of bone plate. METHODS: The first author retrieved PubMed Database (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/), China National Knowledge Infrastructure (http://www.cnki.net/) and Wanfang Database (http://www.wanfangdata.com.cn) for articles addressing material science characteristics and clinical application of bone plate published from 2000 to 2009. The key words included "bone plate, material science characteristics, biocompatibility, clinical application". Testing articles with reliable argument and evidence as well as close topic were included, and simultaneously, non-original articles were excluded. Ultimately, 25 articles were included. We arranged and analyzed material science characteristics, clinical application, advantages and disadvantages of bone plate. RESULTS: From the material science characteristics, the elastic modulus of bone plate should be close to skeleton so as to reduce stress occlusion effects. In clinical application, we should pad attention to the bonding of biological fixation and mechanical fixation to improve plate structure, resulting in decrease in contacting area of plate and skeleton to diminish or prevent osteoporosis in local regions. CONCLUSION: Presently, bone plate materials mainly contain stainless steel, cobalt alloy and titanium alloy in clinic with their advantages and disadvantages. Among them, medical titanium alloy is an ideal in vivo implant. In clinical application, less invasive stabilization plate provides a powerful technique security for early recovery of motor function following fracture, and shows a spacious application prospect.

Objective To explore the changes of ultrastructural characteristics including interstitial space dilation(ISD) and the number of desmosome in non-erosive gastroesophageal reflux disease(NERD)with abnormal and normal oesophageal acid exposure.Methods Nineteen patients with(abnormal) oesophageal acid exposure,20 with normal oesophageal acid exposure,10 with reflux(esophagitis)(RE) and 10 asymptomatic controls,classified on the basis of pH-metry,underwent(endoscopy.) Three biopsies were taken from the normal mucosa for light microscopy and transmission(electron microscopy) evaluation.ISD was measured and the number of desmosome in the intercellular spaces was calculated by using a digital scanner from photomicrographs of the specimens.The above two markers were compared with each other among the above groups.Results There was no significant difference in the mean score of the interstitial space between NERD and RE patients [(2.21?0.68)?m versus(2.39?0.42)?m,P0.05)].The mean score of the interstitial space of the control was(0.63(?0.21))?m,much lower than those of NERD and RE patients(P0.01).There was a significant(difference) in ISD between NERD with abnormal oesophageal acid exposure and normal oesophageal acid(exposure) [(2.45?0.67)?m versus(1.91?0.67)?m,P0.05].The mean numbers of desmosome in the intercellular space of the NERD and RE patients were(0.141?0.043) entries/?m~2 and(0.124(?0.044)) entries/?m~2,respectively,significantly lower than those of the controls [(0.221?0.031)(entries/?m~2].) But no significant differences were observed between the RE and the NERD patients(P0.05).Conclusions The interstitial space of esophageal mucosa in the NERD patients is dilated as in the RE.In NERD patients,the dilation of interstitial space is associated with abnormal acid exposure.The numbers of desmosome may also be a marker of esophageal mucosal injury of NERD.
