BACKGROUND; Studying the pathogenesis and rule of intestinal barrier damage under exercise stress will provide theoretical evidence for preparing intestinal barrier protectant under this state.OBJECTIVE : To observe the changes in intestinal barrier of rats following different intensities of swimming exercise. DESIGN: Randomized controlled animal experiment.SETTING: Laboratory of Exercise Sciences & Sports Medicine, Huibei University; Basic Laboratory, Medical College, Wuhan University.MATERIALS: Thirty-six healthy male SD rats, aged 3 weeks, were involved and randomized into 3 groups: control group (n =10), proper exercise group (n =12) and excessive exercise group (n =14). The rats of three groups were raised in the same condition.METHODS:①Control group: Rats did not exercise normally. ②Proper exercise group: Rats swam without loading. In the first 3 days, they adaptatively swam for 30 minutes and gradually for 60 minutes within 1 week, then they swam once a day, 6 times a week, 6 weeks in total. ③Excessive exercise group: In the first 3 days, they adaptatively swam for 30 minutes and gradually for 120 minutes within 1 week. After trained for 1 week, they were given excessive swimming training. Then, they were forced to swan once a day, 6 times a week, within 4 weeks successively. Within later 2 weeks, the rats were forced to swan once in the morning and evening separately, 6 times a week.MAIN OUTCOME MEASURES:①Intestinal barrier parameter: intestinal mucosal permeability, plasma endotoxin, becterium shift rate.②Intestinal mucosal membrane structure.RESULTS: Thirty-six rats were involved in final analysis.①After excessive exercise, plasma endotoxin of rats was doubly increased, intestinal mucosal permeability was enhanced by 2.5 times, and bacterium shift rate was increased by 230%.②Proper exercise had no obvious influences on the structure of intestinal mucosal membrane tissue of rats, and excessive exercise expanded Golgi complex in the intestinal epithelial cells and rough endoplasmic reticulum of rats, caused severe edema of epithelial cells and infiltration of inflammatory cells.CONCLUSION: Proper exercise improves intestinal function of body; excessive exercise causes intestinal barrier injury of body and pathological syndrome of digestive system.

After studying the Classic on Medical Problems (Nanjing), the records of acupuncture therapy was studied in a systematic way. Academically, the Classic on Medical Problems (Nanjing)should be attached the same importance to the Internal Canon of Medicine. The acupuncture therapies in the Classic on Medical Problems (Nanjing) can be summarized as the followings: emphasizing on both hands together acupuncture;Stating reinforcing and reducing methods in acupuncture;developing the obey and opposite. The method of reigforcing and reducing in matching acupoint; stating the four seasons in acupuncture. The acupuncture therapies discussed in the Classic on Medical Problems (Nanjing) also has a profound impact on clinical medicine until today.

A novel high performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the determination of 4-O-methylhonokiol in rabbit plasma and was applied to its pharmacokinetic investigation.Plasma samples were treated by one-fold volume of methanol and acetonitrile to remove the interference proteins.A reverse phase column of SHIMPACK VP-ODS (150 mm× 4.6 mm,5.0 μm) was used to separate 4-O-methylhonokiol in the plasma samples.The detection limit of 4-O-methylhonokiol was 0.2 μg/L and the linear range was 0.012- 1.536 mg/L.The good extraction recoveries were obtained for the spiked samples (84.7％,89.3％ and 87.7％ for low,middle and high concentrations of added standards,respectively).The relative standard deviation of intra-day and inter-day precisions was in the range from 0.6％ to 13.5％.The pharmacokinetic study of 4-O-methylhonokiol was made and the results from the plasmaconcentration curve of 4-O-methylhonokiol showed a two-apartment open model.This work developed a sensitive,stable and rapid HPLC method for the determination of 4-O-methylhonokiol and the developed method has been successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of 4-O-methylhonokiol.

A sensitive chemiluminescence(CL) method was developed for determining melamine in urine and plasma samples based on the fact that melamine can remarkably enhance the chemiluminescence of Luminol-K3 Fe(CN)6 system in alkaline medium.The determination conditions were optimized.Under optimum conditions,the chemiluminescence intensity had a good linear relationship with melamine in the range of 9.0 × 10 97.0 × 10 6 g/mL with a correlation coefficient of 0.9992.The detection limits (3σ) were 3.54 ng/mL for urine sample and 6.58 ng/mL for plasma sample.The average recoveries of melamine were 102.6％ for urine sample and 95.1％ for plasma sample.Melamine in samples was extracted with liquid-liquid extraction procedures and the assay results coincided very well with that determined with flow injection chemiluminescence method.The method provides a reproducible and stable approach for sensitive detection and quantification of melamine in urine and plasma samples.

Plasma samples were treated by one-fold volume of methanol and acetonitrile to remove the interference proteins. A reverse phase column of SHIM- PACK VP-ODS （150 mm ×4.6 mm, 5.0 μm） was used to separate 4-O-methylhonokiol in the plasma samples. The detection limit of 4-O-methylhonokiol was 0.2 μg/L and the linear range was 0. 012 - 1. 536 mg/L. The good extraction recoveries were obtained for the spiked samples （84.7%, 89.3% and 87.7% for low, middle and high concentrations of added standards, respectively）. The relative standard deviation of intra-day and inter-day precisions was in the range from 0.6% to 13.5%. The pharmacokinetic study of 4-O-methylhonokiol was made and the results from the plasmaconcentration curve of 4-0-methylhonokiol showed a two-apartment open model. This work developed a sensitive, stable and rapid HPLC method for the determination of 4-O-methylhonokiol and the developed method has been successfully applied to a pharmacokinetic study of 4-O-methylhonokiol.

Objective To evaluate the quality of Isatidis Radix from different ecotypes by using projection pursuit model. Methods Totally 11 batches of Isatidis Radix from different ecotypes in Gansu Province were used as evaluation samples. With the contents of epigoitrin, uridine, guanosine, adenosine, benzoic acid, salicylic acid, indigo, indirubin, and alcohol extract as evaluating indexes, combined with projection pursuit model established by DPS V 9.50 statistics software, the quality of Isatidis Radix was evaluated. Results Based on the evalution of nine main indexes, quality order of the 11 batches of Isatidis Radix was acquired: S2>S1>S9>S7>S8>S3>S5>S10>S11>S4>S6. Conclusion The projection pursuit model was available for the quality evaluation of different ecotype Isatidis Radix. The quality of Isatidis Radix from different ecotypes is different significantly, and the quality of tetraploid Isatidis Radix of Shijiazhuang is the best.
