Objective: To observe the inhibitory effects of matrine, oxymatrine and sophordine on expression of CD91 and CD13 and secretion of TNF-α in macrophage RAW264.7. Methods: Macrophages were cultured in 6-hole plate and coverslip was prepared. Then macropages were cultured one day with different concentrations(0,12. 5,25,50,100,200 mg/L) of matrine, oxymatrine and sophordine; the expression of CD91 and CD13 by immunohistochemical dyeing was analyzed by Image-Pro plus system (Media Cybemetic, Inc. , 6.0 edition). Meanwhile, the levels of TNF-α in the culture medium of macrophages were examined by ELISA. Results: Matrine, oxymatrine and sophordine could all inhibit CD91 and CD13 expression in macrophage RAW264.7, and the inhibition varied with the concentrations of matrine, oxymatrine and sophordine; the inhibitory effect of matrine was the most prominent one. Moreover, matrine, oxymatrine and sophordine also inhibited the secretion of TNF-α. Conclusion: Matrine, oxymatrine and sophordine can greatly inhibit expression of CD91 and CD13 and secretion of TNF-α in macrophage RAW264.7.

Brain ischemic tolerance refers to endogenous brain protective mechanism during severe ischemic injury of the body. Ischemia preconditioning is an effective mean to induce brain ischemic tolerance. However, the invasive and ethical limitation made the application of ischemic preconditioning difficult in the clinical practice. Studies found that extracellular signal regulated kinase (ERK) signaling pathway played an important role in the formation of brain ischemic tolerance. Meanwhile, brain ischemic tolerance induced by traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) had its unique advantages. This article reviewed effects of ERK signaling pathway in the inducing of brain ischemic tolerance and TCM intervention in recent years.

For the diathermancy of the seawater is much bigger than that of the air, and the heat dispersed from the body exceeds the heat produced by the body, the heat would be lost immediately when people fell into the cold seawater. The temperature of people would drop instantly to frozen stiff. So it has great signification to rescue the people dropped into the cold water at once. This paper will introduce how to rescue, examine, stabilize, insulate, finally transport the patient to the hospital, and some things that should be paid attention to during the whole process.

85 Chinese sterna(52 males and 33 females)were measured.All 7 measurements were found to have very significant sex differences.However,the overlapping rate between both sexes is very high.It's difficult to determine sex with single measurement.By using Fisher' method,the sex discriminant functions were calculated which can determine sex 90% correctly.For the purpose of sexing bro- ken sternum,some other diseriminant functions were also calculated.Compared with foreigner's,this study has higher discriminant rate and wider practical use.
