OBJECTIVETo explore protective effects of acupuncture at "Zusanli" (ST 36) on cerebral tissue in rats with sepsis.
METHODSCecal ligation and puncture (CLP) was applied to duplicate the rat model of sepsis. According to random number table, thirty SD rats were divided into a sepsis model group (group A), a sepsis model plus electroacupuncture (EA) group (group B), and a sepsis model plus non-acupoint EA group (group C), ten rats in each one. EA with the same frequency and intensity at "Zusanli" (ST 36) and non-acupoint (0.5 cm laterally to "Zusanli") for 30 min was applied in the group B and group C, respectively. No treatment was given in the goup A. 6 hours after CLP, blood was acquired from abdominal aorta to measure the levels of neuron specific enolase (NSE). Then the rats were sacrificed by abdominal aorta exsanguination to take their cerebral tissue for measuring the levels of tumor necrosis factor-alpha (TNF-alpha) and interleukin-6 (IL-6).
RESULTSSix hours after CLP, the level of NSE was (3.51 +/- 0.39) ng/mL in group B, which was significantly lower than (7.72 +/- 0.64) ng/mL in group A (P<0.05). The level of NSE was (8.02 +/- 0.72) ng/mL in the group C, which had no statistical significance with group A (P>0.05). The levels of TNF-alpha, IL-6 in cerebral tissue in group B were significantly lower than that of group A and C (all P>0.05).
CONCLUSIONEA at "Zusanli" (ST 36) has certain protective effect on septic rat's brain, which has some relationship with decreasing levels of cerebral tissue proinflammatory cytokine and plasma NSE. EA at non-acupoint has no the same action.

An enhanced gold immunochromatographic assay ( GICA ) with simplicity, rapidity and high sensitivity was developed to detect imidaclothiz by using the high affinity between biotin and streptavidin. The 13-nm AuNPs were double-labeled with anti-imidaclothiz antibody and biotinylated DNA, and the 41-nm AuNPs were labeled with streptavidin to prepare an enhanced gold immunochromatographic test strip for imidaclothiz. The working conditions of the strip were systematically optimized, and the sensitivity, specificity, precision and accuracy were assessed by testing the cross-reactivity ( CR) , spiked recovery and validation with high performance liquid chromatography ( HPLC) . Under the optimal conditions, the detection could be completed in 10 min with visual result, and the limit of detection ( LOD ) was 25 ng/mL. The analysis showed no cross-reactivity with analogues of imidaclothiz except for imidacloprid. The detection results of GICA agreed with the spiked concentrations of imidaclothiz at spiked levels of 0 . 05 , 0 . 5 and 5 μg/g in river water, rice, cucumber, tomato, pear, cabbage and apple samples. The detection results of GICA for imidaclothiz in unknown concentration river water and pear samples were consistent with that of HPLC.

This study was aimed to establish the quality and quantity analysis methods of tectoridin contented in the Iris tectorum Maxim. Thin layer chromatography (TLC) method was used to give quality analysis on tectoridin in I. tectorum. And the HPLC method was used to give quantity analysis on tectoridin in I. tectorum. The Diamonsil C18 (200 mm í 4.6 mm, 5 μm) column was used as analytical column. The acetonitrile-0.2% phosphoric acid (20:80) was used as mobile phase at the flow rate of 1.0 mL·min-1. The detection wavelength was 265 nm and the column temperature was 25℃. The results showed that the quality analysis of I. Tectorum had specific identification with-out the interference of other ingredients. The amount of inlet tectoridin had a good linearity with the response val-ue of peak area in the range of 0.12~2.22 μg. The average recovery rate was 100.96%. It was concluded that this method was simple and reproducible, which can be used in the quality control of I. tectorum.
