Objective To establish a tissue culture system of Pueraria thomsonii and to cultivate a new breed autotetraploid.Methods Using the MS medium as the basic medium,the explants shoot apexes and stem segments were cultured to differentiate the regenerations.The autotetraloid with genetic material doubled was achieved by treating shoot tips with colchicine of different concentrations for different long times.Results The proper media MS+6-BA 1.0 mg/L + 2,4-D 1.0 mg/L+NAA 0.2 mg/L is for pro-(tocorn) inducing,MS+6-BA 1.0 mg/L+2,4-D 0.2 mg/L for diffrentiation and propagation,and 1/2(MS+) IBA 0.2 mg/L for rooting.The best effect of the autotetraploid induction can be achieved by treating the 0.3-0.5 cm shoot tips cut from the 1 cm plantlets with 0.4%-0.5% colchicine for 48 h,and it is unlikely to succeed by treating shoot tips with colchicine of very low or high concentration or for very long or short time.Conclusion The autotetraploid gives a chance to improve the content of medical materials in the root of P.thomsonii.

Objective To observe the effect of interventional therapy of urokinase on sudden hearing loss.Methods65 patients with sudden hearing loss were divided into the treatment group (n=35) and control group (n=30). The patients of the treatment group were treated with urokinase pouring into vertebral artery accordingly into labyrinthine artery in order to improve internal ear microcirculation. Those of the control group were treated with routine drug dropping in vein. All patients of two groups were examined by pure tone test before and after treatment and the therapeutic effect of two groups was compared.ResultsIn the treatment group, the audition of 21 cases recovered, 12 cases got 15～30 dB increasing, 2 cases increased <15 dB. In the control group, the audition of 10 cases recovered, 4 cases got 15～30 dB increasing, 9 cases increased <15 dB and 7 cases had no obvious improvement. There was a significant difference between effects of two groups ( P<0.05).ConclusionThe effect of urokinase on sudden hearing loss is superior to routine drug dropping in vein.
