Objective To optimize the process of extracting total saponins from Platycodon grandiflorum by orthogonal experimental design and central composite design-response surface method. Methods Independent variables were concentration of ethanol, reflux extraction time, reflux time and solvent fold. Dependent variables were extraction rate of total saponins in Platycodon grandiflorum and the yield of dry extract.Linear or nonlinear mathematic models were used to estimate the relationship between independent and dependent variables. Results The result of the orthogonal experimental design was 70%ethanol, 180 min for reflux, 6 fold of solvent and 2 times for extraction. The result of central composite design-response surface method was 70% ethanol, 140 min for reflux, 10 fold of solvent and 2 times for extraction. Conclusion The central composite design-response surface method is better than orthogonal experimental design in studying extraction process of Platycodon grandiflorum, which provides basis for feasibility of application of central composite design-response surface method in optimization of extraction process of Chinese traditional medicine.

The chiral separation of three triazole pesticides, i.e. diniconazole, triadimefon and triadimenol was studied on a Chiralcel OJ-H and a Chiralcel OD-H HPLC chiral columns. The optical rotation quality of diniconazole and triadimefon enantiomers was measured and the absolute configurations of individual enan-)tiomers) were further concluded. On this basis, the absolute configurations of the four triadimenol stereoisomers were deduced via the reductive experiment of triadimefon to triadimenol. Furthermore, the chiral stability of the three triazole pesticides in organic solvents and buffer solutions was investigated. The results showed the obvious enantiomerization was observed as for triadimefon in methanol, ethanol and water, whereas dinicona-)zole) and triadimefon were chiral stable in organic solvents and water. The enantiomerization of triadimefon would be accelerated at higher temperature and in alkaline media.

OBJECTIVE:To study the effects of nimesulide combined with oxaliplatin on microvessel density and immune func-tion of esophageal cancer model rats. METHODS:48 rats were selected to establish esophageal cancer model and then randomly di-vided into model group,oxaliplatin group,nimesulide group and combination group,with 12 rats in each group. 1 d after model-ing,model group was given 5% Glucose injection 1 mL via tail vein,3 times a week,and constant volume of Sodium carboxy-methylcellulose solution,once a week. Oxaliplatin group was given oxaliplatin 13.6 mg/kg via tail vein,3 times a week. Nimesu-lide group was given nimesulide 20 mg/kg intragastrically,once a week. Combination group was given oxaliplatin and nimesulide with same usage as above. The administration lasted for 8 weeks. The cancer growth,microvessel density of cancer tissue,peripher-al blood immune function index were observed in four groups. RESULTS:Compared with model group,cancer size,cancer weight,integral absorbance of cancer and positive vessel density were all decreased in treatment groups(P<0.05). The number of peripheral blood CD3+,CD4+T cells and CD4+/CD8+were all decreased in oxaliplatin group and combination group,while the num-ber of CD8+T cells was decreased(P<0.05). Compared with nimesulide group,cancer size,cancer weight,integral absorbance of cancer,positive vessel density,the number of peripheral blood CD3+,CD4+T cells and CD4+/CD8+ were all decreased in oxaliplat-in group and combination group,while tumor inhibition rate and the number of CD8+T cells were all increased(P<0.05);combi-nation group was more significant than oxaliplatin group (P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Oxaliplatin combined with nimesulide can effectively inhibit cancer growth of esophageal cancer,the mechanism of which may be associated with inhibiting angiogenesis of tumor tissue and strengthening immune function.

Objective To evaluate the clinical effect of hybrid operation in treating Stanford type B aortic dissection. Methods During the period from January 2011 to December 2013, hybrid operation was performed in 33 patients with complex Stanford type B aortic arch dissection. The patients included 28 males and 5 females with a average age of (50±12) years. The clinical effect and the complications, occurring in perioperative period and in 24-month follow-up period, were analyzed. Results The operation was successfully accomplished in all 33 patients, with a technical success rate of 100%. The average hospitali-zation time was 20 days. After the operation, 29 cases were followed up for 3-34 months and 4 cases were lost to follow up, the following-up rate was 87.9%. In 21 cases, the following-up time was over 12 months. Postoperative angiography showed that there was no typeⅠendoleak; complications included pulmonary infection (n=1), strokes (n=1), reversible abnormal renal function (n=6) and retrograde aortic arch dissection (n=1). No paraplegia occurred. During hospitalization time, two cases died, the mortality was 6.06%. During the following-up time, graft infection occurred in one case and continued presence of retrograde aortic arch dissection was observed in one case. Conclusion The complication occurrence after hybrid operation for Stanford type B aortic dissections is low. The hybrid technique is very safe and feasible, but several serious postoperative complications should not be ignored. The long-term effectiveness needs to be further clarified by systemic and large sample studies.
