OBJECTIVE: To optimize the microwave-assisted extraction(MAE) and purification technology of total flavonoids in Fructus Viticis.METHODS: The optimal extracting parameters including the ethanol concentration,the extracting temperature,the extracting time,the microwave power and the ratio of solid to liquid were obtained through orthogonal experiment with the content of total flavanoids as index.Under this condition,the crude flavonoids was purified by using D-101 macroporous resin.RESULTS: The best extraction conditions were as follows: the ethanol concentration was 60%;the extracting temperature was 80 ℃;the extracting time was 40 min;the microwave power was 600 W;the solid-liquid ratio was 1∶15.The content of total flavonoids in the refined product was above 84.93%.CONCLUSION: The optimized extraction technology is stable and feasible and it serves as rationale for the industrialization of the extraction and purification technology of total flavonoids in Fructus Viticis.

There are some problems in the definitions of 'interaction between the heart and the kidney' and 'non-interaction between the heart and the kidney' made in the teaching material of traditional Chinese medicine used by western medicine institutes,colleges and universities.In the teaching material,it explains 'interaction between the heart and the kidney' as the relation between heart fire and kidney water,and 'non-interaction between the beart and the kidney' as the relation between heart-yin and kidney-yin.If we cannot correctly understand the pathogenesis of 'non-interaction between the heart and the kidney',we will fail to determine the concrete treatment method for ' coordinating the heart and the kidney'.Through the analysis and discussion on the theory,clinical syndrome,therapeutic principles and prescriptions for the syndrome of disharmony between the heart and the kidney,the authors draw the conclusion that the therapy for this disease should be determined according to the excess and deficiency of the heat fire and kidney water.For instance,if the deficient kidney water cant ascend to coordinate with the heart and results in exuberance of heart fire,Huanglian Ejiao decoction should be used; in the other situation,if the exuberant heart-fire can't descend to coordinate with the kidney and results in deficiency of kidney yang,Jiaotai Pill should be used.The theoretical results could standardize textbook and give better service to the clinical education.

OBJECTIVE： To discuss the selectivity of enatiomers of clinically used asymmetric drugs.METHODS： To exsamplify this issue in respect to pharmacokinetic characteristics,pharmacodynamic properties and clinical application of asymmetric drugs.RESULTS ＆ CONCLUSION： The enatiomers of asymmetric drugs assume complex pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic characteristics.Thorough study of enatiomers of asymmetric drugs will exert great influence on rational use of asymmetric drugs.

[Summary] The pathogenesis of diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN ) is the result of complex multiple concurrent pathogenic factors ,among which oxidative stress and inflammation play important roles. Multiple data have indicated that haem oxygenase‐1 (HO‐1) and its degradation products products possess the functions of anti‐oxidation ,anti‐inflammation ,anti‐apoptosis and pro‐angiogenesis ,which now becomes a new target for the treatment of DPN. We will briefly review the progression on the research of HO‐1 and DPN.

OBJECTIVE:To observe the effects of RAD51 gene polymorphism on cancer prognosis and its relationship with therapeutic efficacy of cisplatin chemotherapy in patients with cervical cancer. METHODS:193 cervical cancer patients were selected and genotyped by TaqmanTM genotyping method. Therapeutic efficacy and survival period were observed in cisplatin chemotherapy combined with radiotherapy. RESULTS:The mean survival rate and therapeutic efficacy was significantly correlated with RAD51 genotype. The patients carrying the T gene had better response to drugs,compared to patients with type GG (P<0.05),and the average survival rate significantly increased(P<0.05). CONCLUSIONS:Genetic variation in RAD51 have obvious influence on the prognosis of cervical cancer chemotherapy. Therefore,RAD51 G172T genotypes give effective prognosis information about cervical cancer patients who received cisplatin chemotherapy.

Objective:To investigate the expressions of Th 1-Th2-Th17 cytokines in the coxsackievirus B 3-induced mice chronic viral myocarditis(VMC).Methods:BALB/c mice were intraperitoneally(i.p) infected with increased CVB3 for establishing chronic VMC models.Control mice were treated with phosphate-buffered saline(PBS)i.p.Cardiac tissues were obtained 8 weeks after CVB3 in-jection,myocardial histopathologic changes were observed by HE and Masson staining .Th1-Th2-Th17 cytokines in plasma were detected by protein array technology , and their cardiac mRNA expressions were measured by RT-PCR.Results: Compared with the control group,levels of IL-2,IL-5,IL-10,IL-13,IL-17,IL-6,IL-22,IL-21 and TGF-βobviously increased in chronic VMC group (P all<0.05). Conclusion:The imbalance of Th1-Th2-Th17 cytokines may play an important roles in the pathogenesis of chronic VMC .

Objective To study the washing methods for the piping instruments of laparoscope and prevention form biological membrane .Methods 300 pieces of the piping instruments of laparoscope select from the center of sterilization supply were random classified into 3 groups(100 pieces in each group) according to washing methods :washing by hand(group A) ,full-automation wash-ing machine(group B) and Tri-band pressurized ultrasonic washing machine(group C) .Comparing the cleanliness and ATP detec-tion fluorescence value on different methods .Results Cleanliness of group A was 85% ,ATP fluorescence detection rate was 27% ;Cleanliness of group B was 82% ,ATP fluorescence detection positive rate was 31% ;Cleanliness of group C was 99% ,ATP fluores-cence detection positive rate was 5% .The test data of group C was significantly compare with the data of group A and B . Conclusion The washing method of using tri-band pressurized ultrasonic washing machine can effectively improve laparoscopic tube cavity equipment cleaning effect and prevent form biological membrane .

Objective To investigate the current ~atus of mercury thermometer applied in China and the replacement of it by electric thermometer.Methods A systematic review of the literatures was undertaken,and the mercury pollution caused by mercury thermometer was reviewed,the measures taken by various countries to reduce the use of mercury thermometer were introduced.The difficulty in promoting electric thermometer in China was analyzed,and some measures were proposed accordingly.Results Most of the population including medical staffs had few awareness of the hazard of mercury thermometer to the environment,while the promotion of electric thermometer was obstructed due to the deficiencies in propaganda andpolicies.Conclusion It's suggested emphases be placed on propaganda and measures to replace mercury thermometer by electric one to decrease mercury pollution.

Objective To study whether bifendate (BFD) can decrease blood concentration of cyclosporine A (CsA) in the patients subject to renal transplantation. Methods In the 106 cases undergoing renal transplantation treated with CsA, Pred and Aza, 65 were administrated with BFD as experimental group and the remaining 41 cases without BFD as control group. Blood concentrations of CsA, and biochemistry indexes for liver and renal function were determined. Results Blood concentrations of CsA in the experimental group went down by 26. 5 % as compared with those before taking BFD and had a significant decrease as compared with control group (P

Objective To discuss the X-ray and CT manifestations of keratocystic odontogenic tumour(KCOT)in mandible,to im-prove the diagnostic accuracy of the disease.Methods The X-ray and CT features of KCOT(n=25)in mandible,which were proved by surgery and pathology,were retrospectively analyzed.Results The KCOT,including solitary tumor(n=23)and multiple tumor (n=2),mainly displayed unilocular or multilocular in shape with distinct sclerosing margin.Disruption of the adjacent cortex was de-tected in 7 cases,growth along the long axis of mandible in 18 cases,compression and displacement of the adjacent teeth in 21 cases, resorption of bevel of roots in 2 cases.Conclusion Most lesions of KCOT in mandible have characteristic manifestation in X-ray and CT findings,which is helpful for diagnosis and differential diagnosis.
