Chinese Traditional Patent Medicine 1992;0(09):-
After Katong Tablets(the equivalent dosage of over two times of adult daily administra- tion)were infused into the animal stomach for successive 10 days,it could strongly improve the increase of blood rheology of rat induced by adrenaline plus ice water or of rat with the deficiency of vital energy and blood stasis induced by swimming in successive days,and sig- nificantly strengthen the malformation ability of red cells of senile rat,inhibit the vitro circu- lation thrombosis of arteria carotis and jugular vein of normal rats,decrease the aggregate function of thrombocyte of rabbit induced by ADP.It showed the similar action strength with the control drug Kanlan Tablets.

For the existing measurement methods of residual voltage which can't turn the power off at peak voltage exactly and simultaneously display waveforms, a new residual voltage detection method is put forward in this paper. First, the zero point of the power supply is detected with zero cross detection circuit and is inputted to a single-chip microcomputer in the form of pulse signal. Secend, when the zero point delays to the peak voltage, the single-chip microcomputer sends control signal to power off the relay. At last, the waveform of the residual voltage is displayed on a principal computer or oscilloscope. The experimental results show that the device designed in this paper can turn the power off at peak voltage and is able to accurately display the voltage waveform immediately after power off and the standard deviation of the residual voltage is less than 0.2 V at exactly one second and later.

BACKGROUND:Because macrophages play an important role in the body’s inflammatory response, the detection of the impact of biological materials on the behavior of macrophages can assess the immunogenicity of materials. OBJECTIVE: To analyze the activation effect of decelularized extracelular matrix materials on macrophages. METHODS: The peritoneal macrophages of BALB/c mouse were obtained and cultured by dividing into five groups. Control group was simple cel culture group, experimental group 1 was acelular matrix membrane material directly contacting with macrophage for culture, experimental group 2 was fresh pericardial material directly contacting with the macrophage for culture, experimental group 3 was acelular matrix membrane material indirectly contacting with macrophages for culture, experimental group 4 was fresh pericardium material indirectly contacting with macrophages for culture. After 24 hours of culture, the secretion of nitric oxide and cytokines in cel culture supernatant was determined. After 48 hours of culture, the absorbance value was determined by MTT method and the toxicity grading was determined. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: The toxicity grading in experimental groups 1-4 was respectively grades 2, 4, 0, 2. The nitric oxide level in experimental groups 1 and 2 was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05), and the nitric oxide level in the experimental group 2 was higher than that in the experimental group 1 (P < 0.05). There were no significant differences in interleukin-2, interleukin-4,interferon γ, interleukin-17A and interleukin-10 levels between these five groups. The interleukin-6 level in the experimental group 2 was higher than that in the control group (P < 0.05); The expression levels of tumor necrosis factors in experimental group 1, 2 and 4 were higher than those in the control group (P < 0.05), and experimental group 2 higher than the experimental group 1 (P < 0.05), experimental group 1 higher than the experimental group 4 (P < 0.05). These results show that acelular matrix material can activate macrophages in direct contact.

Objective To investigate the serum procalcitonin (PCT) levels in sepsis caused by the bacteria,virus and mycoplasma and explore the role of PCT in etiology diagnosis of sepsis in children.Methods Three hundreds and thirty critically ill children with sepsis caused by bacteria,virus and mycoplasma admitted in PICU of Hunan Children' s Hospital from Feb 1,2011 to Sep 1,2012 were reviewed and analyzed.The PCT levels were measured at admission and day 3.The differences in accidence of sepsis caused by bacteria,viruses and mycoplasma according to different serum PCT levels were analyzed.The differences of PCT levels at admission and day 3 in sepsic children caused by bacteria,viruses and mycoplasma were analyzed.Results The level of serum PCT in sepsis caused by bacterial infection were distinctly increased,caused by virus and mycoplasma infections was not obvious but the increases of serum PCT [0.71 (8.14)ng/ml,0.15 (1.68) ng/ml,0.28 (1.89) ng/ml].According to various PCT levels(0.05 ~ ng/ml,0.5 ~ng/ml,2 ~ ng/ml,10 ~ 300 ng/ml),the differences of accidence of sepsis caused by bacteria,virus and mycoplasma were also statistically significant(x2 =84.50,P < 0.01).The PCT level of septic children caused by bacterial infection in day 3 was significantly decreased compared with that at admission [0.32 (5.68) ng/ml vs 0.71 (8.14) ng/ml] (U =19.34,P <0.05).Conclusion PCT plays a certain role in etiology diagnosis of sepsis in children.The increased PCT levels which can be reduced by anti-inflammatory treatment indicate the likelihood of bacterial infection and sepsis.The increase of PCT induced by viral and mycoplasma infections is not obvious,but bacterial infection can not be completely ruled out.

Objective To investigate the clinical efficacy and treatment method for no midline shift-severe craniocerebral trauma accompanied with post-traumatic acute diffuse brain swelling (PADBS).Methods 60 PADBS patients were randomly divided into conservative treatment group and operation group,30 patients in each group.The operation group was treated with intracranial pressure monitoring by implantation of the probe and decompressive craniectomy,while the conservative treatment group received conservative treatment.The postoperative recovery was observed.Results The GCS scores of operation group postoperative 7d and 15d were (11.21 ± 2.24) and (12.88 ±2.31),which were obviously higher than (7.47 ± 1.51) and (8.19 ± 1.28) of the conservative treatment group (t =2.215,2.321,all P < 0.05).Postoperative long-term follow-up results indicated that,according to GOS score,63.3% patients in the operation group recovered well,which was significantly higher than 26.7% in the conservative treatment group.While the percent of patients with coma or dead was 6.7% and 10.0% in the operation group,which were significantly lower than the conservative treatment group (x2 =15.721,4.172,3.84,all P < 0.05).Conclusion In general,PADBS could not be cured easliy,the operation methods of using intracranial pressure monitoring and decompressive craniectomy based on conservative treatment could help to evaluate the trauma objectivly,detect the changes of disease earlier,treat in time and assess the prognosis accurately,all which would reduce the mortality.
