Objective To evaluate the blood-saving efficacy of acute hypervolemic hemodilution (AHH)-hemostatics-intraoperative blood salvage (IOBS) in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery. Methods One hundred and twenty ASA Ⅰ or Ⅱ patients of both sexes, aged 18-64 yr, scheduled for elective orthopedic surgery under general anesthesia with an expected blood loss of 800 ml or more, were randomly divided into 4 groups ( n = 30 each) : AHH + IOBS + hemostatics group; IOBS + hemostatics group; AHH + IOBS group; AHH + bemostatics group. AHH was induced with 6% hydroxyethyl starch 130/0.4 15 ml/kg infused iv at a rate of 40 ml/min immediately after tracheal intubation until the time of immediately before skin incision, IOBS was performed immediately before skin incision. Intravenous hemocoagulase 2 kU and im hemocoagulase 1 kU were injected 10 min before skin incision. The total volume of fluid intake and output, HR, MAP and CVP were recorded during the operation. Vein blood samples were taken for determination of Hb, Hct, platelet counts (Plt), prothrombin time (PT), activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT), and fibrinogen concentration (Fib) .Results CVP was significantly lower in IOBS+ hemostatics group than in AHH + IOBS + hemestaties group ( P < 0.05), while no significant difference in CVP was found between AHH + IOBS and AHH + IOBS + hemostatics group and between AHH + hemostatics and AHH +IOBS + hemostaties group (P > 0.05). The volume of blood loss was significantly higher in AHH + IOBS group, and the allogenic blood transfusion volume was significantly higher, while the percentage of the patients without allogeneie blood transfusion and without FFP transfusion lower in AHH + hemostatics group than in AHH + IOBS + hemostatics group ( P < 0.05 or 0.01 ), but there were no significant differences in the above parameters between IOBS + hemostatics group and AHH + IOBS + hemostatics group ( P > 0.05). Hb, Hct, Plt and Fib were significantly higher in IOBS + hemostatics group than in AHH + IOBS + hemostafics group( P < 0.05), but there were no significant differences in the above parameters between AHH + IOBS and AHH +IOBS + hemostatics group and between AHH + hemostatics and AHH + IOBS + hemestatlcs group (P > 0.05 ). Conclusion The blood-saving efficacy of AHH-bemostatics-IOBS is good in patients undergoing orthopedic surgery and it is a safe technique.

The present status of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and the discrepancies between TCM and Western medicine were reviewed. It was suggested that modernization of the research and deve lopment of TCM should be established on the basis of the essentials of TCM senses to upgrade its extraction processes, analytical precision, and rational pharmaceutical preparations, which can be accurately prescribed, easily absorbable with better bioavailability to achieve a more favorable patient compliance and therapeutic results It was also pointed out that TCM, with its thousands years of practical clinical experiences, has its unique features and promising future to meet the desire in pursuit of return to Mother Nature It was believed that eventually, the modernized TCM will keep pace with or even surpass the Western medicine for the general welfare of mankind

Objective To study the changes of ERK1/2 phosphorylation status induced by unloading of soleus muscle after tail suspension in rats. Method Hindlimb unloading(HU) was produced by tail suspension, which simulated the effect of weightlessness on male Wistar rats. Western blot technique was introduced to detect the total and phospho-ERK1/2 status in isolated soleus muscle of 7 d, 14 d HU and repective control groups. Result Total ERK1/2 in soleus muscle was not affected by 7 d and 14 d HU. The ERK1 phosphorylation status were declined significantly after 7 d and 14 d HU.The ERK2 phosphorylation status were declined significantly after 7 d HU, but not for 14 d HU. Conclusion The unloading of soleus muscle after simulated microgravity can decrease the phosphorylation status of ERK1/2, which may contribute to the atrophy of soleus muscle induced by simulated weightlessness.

Objective: To investigate all trans retinoid Acid (ATRA) inhibition of cell growth in human retinoblastoma Y79 cells, and its mechanism. Methods: Antiproliferation effects of ATRA on Y79 cells were determined by 3 H thymidine incorporation. Cell cycle analysis was performed by flow cytometry. JNK phosphorylation was analyzed by Western blot analysis. Results: After 36 h treatment with 10 -6 mol?L -1 ATRA, 3 H thymidine incorporation decreased to 40%, under the same condition, Y79 cells were arrested in G 0 /G 1 and Sub G 1 peak appeared. Curcumin, JNK blocker, blocked the growth inhibition by ATRA. JNK was phosphorylated in 10 to 20 min. Conclusion: JNK phosphorylating mediated ATRA inhibition of apoptosis in Y79 cells. These results suggested that ATRA might have clinical application for treatment of retinoblastoma.

The spleen cells from the BALB/C mouse immunized with the type B toxoid were fused with aNS-1 myeloma cell line. The superatant containing the hybridoma-formed cells with growing pores wasscreened by EL1SA, in which 66.7% the pores could secrete the specific antibodies against botulin.After a Subclonizing culture by the limiting dilution technique four hybridoma cell lines(3B10, 3B11, 3G12 and 4A5) were established and could secrete the specific antibodies persistently in the culture medium. in which antibody titers came to 10-3-10-5, while they were injected into the BALB/C mice intrape ritoneally ascites rich in antibodies with a titer of 10-5-10-8 was produced. The results testing the (our monoclonal antibodies with the type A and B toxoids showed that the antibodies of 3G12and 4A5 were specific for the type B toxoid, and those of 3B10 and 3B11 had light cross reaction with the type A toxoid. Identification of 1g showed that the antibodies of 3B10 and 3G12 were of IgG1, while those of 3B11 and 4A5 of IgG2. The chromosomal assay confirmed the four cell lines to be hybridoma. The neutroligation test in mice revealed that those four monoclonal antibodies did not show any protective effects on botulin.

AIM To investigate the effects of honokiol on ischemic neurological deficiency and on the scavenging ability of ischemia reperfusion (I-R) brain tissue for reactive oxygen species (ROS). METHODSCerebral ischemia was induced by middle cerebral artery occlusion (MCAO) in rats. I-R in mice were induced by blood stream pause in bilateral common carotid arteries for 30 min and reperfusion for 30 min. The activities of ROS scavenging enzymes were determined with colorimetric methods. RESULTS Intravenous honokiol in 5-50 μg·kg-1 significantly decreased the neurological deficiency score, and diminished cerebral infarction volume in rats. In I-R brain tissue of mice, intravenous honokiol in 7-70 μg·kg-1 evidently enhanced the activities of superoxide dismutase, catalase, glutathione peroxidase and peroxidase, and markedly lowered lipid peroxidative product malondialdehyde content. Moreover honokiol significantly increased Na+-K+-ATPase activity in I-R brain tissue. CONCLUSION Honokiol ameliorates the neurological deficiency behavior and diminishes infarction volume in MCAO rats; and enhances cerebral scavenging ability for ROS and Na+-K+-ATPase activity in cerebral I-R mice. It is indicated that honokiol is a protective agent for cerebral ischemia and I-R.
