Objective:To establish a RP-HPLC method with pre-column derivation for determining the content of stilbene glyco-sides in Yening granules. Methods:DNS-Cl was used as the derivation reagent, a Wondasil-C8 column (250 mm × 4. 6 mm, 5 μm) was used as the stationary phase and 30mM ammonium phosphatere gulation (pH 3. 5)-acetonitrile (78∶22) was applied as the mobile phase, a fluorescence detector (λex=370 nm,λem=560 nm) was used, the flow rate was 1. 0 ml·ml-1 , the column temperature was 30℃ and the injection volume was 20 μl. Results: There was no interference from the other substances in the preparation. The linear range of the two stilbene glycosides was 0.071-27.280 mg·ml-1(r=0.999 9). The average recovery was 99.04%(RSD=0. 1%, n= 9). Conclusion:The method is simple, quick, sensitive and accurate, which can be used for the quality control of Ye-ning granules.

Fasting blood ghrelin level was decreased,and postprandial ghrelin descent was suppressed in high-fat diet induced obese rats.Fasting ghrelin concentration,but not postprandial ghrelin concentration,was negatively correlated with body weight,insulin resistance index,and glucose level.

Objective To evaluate the simulation of standardized patients (SP) in objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) for general practice residency training.Methods The simulation levels of 15 SPs were evaluated by 37 examiners with a rating scale of OSCE Examiner Feedback on SP performance from Melbourne University School of Medicine.The evaluation was conducted in history-taking and doctor-patient communication stations of OSCE for general practice residency training.Results The overall scores of SP performance were high and most examiners considered that the performance of SP was realistic and consistent.Among 9 items of rating scale,more than 90% of the examiners considered that SP performance met or completely met the requirements of OSCE,except the item of preparation for clothing and making up before role playing.Six items of performance in history-taking station and 4 items in doctorpatient communication station reached 100% satisfaction from the examiners.T test was used to compare the difference of SP performance between the morning and afternoon,and there was no significant difference (P > 0.05).Conclusion The study showed for this group of SPs,the realistic degree and consistency of performance meet the requirements of OSCE,and its stability is not affected by long time continuous performance.

Aim To study the effects of amitriptyline(Ami)on focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.Methods An animal model of focal cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury was induced by the middle cerebral artery occlusion(MCAO) by reversibly inserting a nylon thread method.The rats were decapitated after ischemia for 1 hour and reperfusion for 2 hours.The infarct volumes were determined using a 2,3,5-tri-phenyl tetrazolium chloride(TTC) staining and assessed by image analysis system.The neurologic deficit status were evaluated on 0~5 grade scale.The levels of dopamine(DA),norepinephrine(NE),serotonin(5-HT) and its metabolic product~hydroxyindole acetic acid(5-HIAA) in cortex and striatum were measured by fluoro-spectrophotometry.Results Ami treatment exhibited a remarkable reduction in infarct volume and neurologic deficit scores.The monoamines content of cortex and striatum had a significant increase compared with ischemia-reperfusion group.Conclusion Amitriptyline has protective effect on cerebral ischemia-reperfusion injury in rats.The mechanism might be related to reducing the release of NE,DA and 5-HT during cerebral ischemia-reperfusion,attenuating or inhibiting of the neurotoxic effects of monoamine neurotransmitters.

By using the glyoxylic acid to induce fluorescence histochemieal method, the catecholamines (CAs) in the adrenal medulla of rats were demonstrated。The CAs fluorescent intensity was measured with Leitz MPV-2 microflurophotometer. The results showed that the CAs fluorescent intensity in the adrenal medulla of rat with traumatic shock was much decreased than that of the normal control group. The CAs fluorescent intensity was in the adrenal medulla obviously increased after using electroacupuncture (EA) at "Renzhang" and "Chenjiang" points. Our results also indicated that the EA might play a certain role in regulating the level of plasma CAs during the traumatic shock process. Therefore, The depletion of CAs was reduced from the rat's adrenal medulla, this could be one of the benificial factors in using the EA antitraumatic shock.

Objective To determine the serum levels of macrophage migration inhibition factor (MIF) and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) in patients with vitiligo,and to investigate their clinical significance.Methods The serum concentrations of MIF and TNF-α were determined by enzyme linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and radioimmunoassay respectively in 66 patients with vitiligo and 30 healthy controls.Results The patients with vitiligo vulgaris showed a significant higher serum level of MIF and TNF-α compared with the healthy controls ((9.56 ± 1.65) vs.(5.18 ± 0.81 ) μg/L,(2.38 ± 0.37) vs.(1.78 ± 0.21 ) μg/L,both P < 0.01 ).There was a positive correlation between the serum level of MIF and TNF-α (r =0.89,P < 0.05).No statistical difference was observed in the serum levels of MIF or TNF-α between the healthy controls and patients with segmental vitiligo (both P > 0.05).The serum level of MIF was significantly higher in patients with progressive vitiligo than in those with stable vitiligo (P < 0.01 ).Conclusions MIF and TNF-α might play a certain role in the pathogenesis of vitiligo,and MIF may be related to the activity of vitiligo vulgaris.

Objective To assess community health service ability of general practitioners (GPs) with the Standardized General Practitioner Training(SGPT) in Shanghai.Methods One hundred and four GPs receiving SGPT and matched 102 GPs without SGPT were enrolled in this retrospective cohort study from September to November in 2014.Community health service ability,including abilities in basic medical service and public health service were assessed and compared between two groups.Written examination was applied in the public health services ability assessment.Objective structured clinical examination (OSCE) was applied for evaluation of basic medical service abilities.Results The scores of written examination in GPs with SGPT were higher than those without SGPT[(66 ±4) vs.(62 ±7),P <0.01].The OSCE scores in GP with SGPT were higher than those without SGPT [(494 ± 78) vs.(448 ± 80),P < 0.01].GPs with SGPT also abtained the higher scores in consultation competence and clinical skills assessment [(245 ± 44) vs.(225 ±40),P<0.01;(252 ±59) vs.(225 ±61),P <0.01].In OSCE,GPs with SGPT got higher score than those without SGPT in 5 stations (medical history collection,doctor-patient communication,basic operation,ECG interpretation,and CPR) (all P < 0.01);however,no significant differences were observed in 3 stations (physical examination,case analysis and X-ray interpretation) between two groups (all P > 0.05).Conclusions GPs with SGPT have better basic medical service and public health service ability.But some aspects of basic medical service ability need to be strengthened in the training and practice.
